Just as Captain Rades said, the gunfire only rang once, and the noisy sound quickly disappeared downstairs. Shade breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue the topic just now, but he did not expect that gunshots rang out again downstairs.
.
I thought Captain Rades would remain calm, but I didn't expect that the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he looked towards the window with a look of horror and disbelief.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem this time?"
Shade immediately asked for advice.
".34 blackjack! Glass pocket single shot pistol! It's MI6!"
The middle-aged man who was originally calm began to tremble as if he was ill. The panic on his face was probably even more exaggerated than when Shade saw the evil god again.
Shade also shrank back nervously, but quickly regained his composure. Detective Sparrow couldn't have happened, and even if it happened, he wouldn't be implicated, so he didn't need to be nervous.
"What happened to MI6?"
This organization probably has something to do with Shade, but the captain's nervousness is a bit strange.
"They are a group of devils, they don't trust anyone! They will lock you up and keep shining gaslights on you to make you tell the truth! They will lock you in a dark hut and keep making noise to prevent you from resting!"
they will......"
The frightened middle-aged man said while trembling, and Shade probably understood. Captain Rades was rescued from Kasenlik as a prisoner, and at the same time, he returned home because of his reputation as the "Eight-Gun Captain" on the front line.
Of course there will be suspicion later.
He was probably interrogated by people from MI6, which left some psychological shadow. Even though the other party was obviously not looking for the captain, the middle-aged officer still seemed to have turned on some kind of switch and fell into great fear.
This emotion was almost inconsolable. The captain huddled against the wall and did not dare to move, as if the people downstairs could see him through the wall. There was no movement downstairs for a long time before he gradually returned to normal, but Shade
I saw that his collar was completely wet.
"Captain, are you okay?"
Shade said worriedly. The middle-aged officer shook his head, staggered to the table, picked up a wine bottle, took a sip, and then choked and coughed several times before he recovered.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
He gasped and put down the wine bottle, then sat down on the chair in front of the desk with some dejection.
"MI6...is scary?"
Shade asked tentatively, but he was a little worried that his question would make the captain feel uncomfortable. But the middle-aged man was still strong. Of course, it might be the drink that gave him courage:
"The people in MI6 are all lunatics who will not give up until they achieve their goals. They are probably more terrifying than the rumored extraordinary beings."
The captain who seemed to have some knowledge shook his head and said:
"There have been rumors in recent years that Kasenrik's Gray Gloves sent a group of extremely rare spies to lurk in Tobesk. That's why MI6 has been acting in such a high-profile manner in recent years, but this is
What's the use? There are even rumors recently that the Gray Gloves are planning an action against the royal family. Oh, detective, you'd better not deal with them in your life. The people there have been professionally trained. I even suspect that they have no sympathy at all.
and compassion.”
After the captain completely recovered from the shock and confirmed that the gunshots downstairs would not ring again, the two of them went out to eat. Of course, both men clamored to pay, and in the end it was the young and strong Shade who won the
opportunity to checkout.
The captain looked very embarrassed and promised to continue looking for the jewelry. Moreover, if there was an opportunity, he would introduce business to Shade. He also knew many people in this city.
After dinner, the two separated. Captain Rades was going to the Veterans Club to meet a few acquaintances and see if he could find a new job. Shade left for St. Teresa Square, played with little Mia at home for a while, and then
Translated more than ten pages of "The Four Elements of Chase: Wind and Fire".
At about 2:30 in the afternoon, while resting at the desk, I saw that the weather was good today, so I planned to go for a walk outside. Of course, this time Shade brought the orange cat Mia with him. Since arriving at St. Teresa Square, besides going out,
When it comes to eating, this cat rarely has the opportunity to go out because of its timidity.
This can be regarded as walking the cat out, but because he didn’t have a suitable rope at hand and was worried that Mia would get lost, Shade actually held the cat the whole time. Of course, Mia was happy that she didn’t have to walk by herself.
St. Teresa Square and the pigeons on the square were enough to see from the window every day. Since today was a rare good weather, even the mist surrounding the city had dissipated a little, so he walked to Tobesk.
The university district is more suitable for an afternoon walk.
The University District is mostly an activity place for students and teachers from nearby colleges and universities. Although it looks the same as other places in Tobesk, when you step on the tree-lined avenue, you instinctively feel that it is more comfortable here.
【That's your illusion, I didn't feel anything.】
Together with the cat, the detective holding the cat looked around to observe people on the tree-lined avenue. He also stopped at the Delrayon Wangli Mechanical College to inspect the outer wall of the college. He even sat on the lawn where he could get sunlight.
For a while, enjoy the rare sunshine in summer.
There happened to be a group of young people playing Rhodes on the lawn. Judging from their attire and the books beside them, they were probably students from Tobesk Theological Seminary. Shade also joined in the fun and walked over to watch their game and listen to their conversation.
, a group of people who are members of the "Rhodes Study Group" at Tobesk Theological Seminary.
"Why does the seminary have a Rhodes study group?"
Shade was amused by this, but did not participate in the card game. After standing for a while, he thought that the Terrarel River was marked on the map as crossing the university area, and he wanted to go for a walk along the river bank. In a deserted place,
Maybe we can give little Mia a chance to run.
But as soon as he left the lawn and walked along the tree-shaded avenue, he noticed a carriage approaching behind him.
He ducked to this side, but the carriage slowly stopped beside Shade. The window was pushed open, and the blond writer's face appeared in the carriage:
"Good afternoon, detective. Oh?"
She looked at the cat in Shade's arms and smiled:
"Are you taking a walk? Or do you have a commission?"
"Good afternoon, Miss Louisa, I'm taking a walk and walking the cat."
Shade wanted Mia to say hello to Miss Louisa, but the small orange cat was afraid of strangers and "snarled" at the writer Miss Meow~, then huddled in Shade's arms and refused to move.
"Since you're fine, do you want to come and help me?"
Miss Louisa lifted her hair from her ear.
"What are you doing?"
Shade accepted the invitation, and Miss Louisa also got off the carriage. While looking for the change for the driver, she explained:
"I heard strange rumors and wanted to buy something special."
Shade suddenly realized that he was going to collect the [relic].
