Chapter 446 Ordinary and Discordant Men and Women

The moon of fire, spring quietly faded away without realizing it, and an uneasy restlessness began to appear in the air. The shade of the mountains and fields faded and tenderly appeared lush. The flowers grew colorfully in the splendor, and the warm sunlight gradually became hot and hot; the summer breeze wandered lightly on the earth, mixed with a little coolness in the expansionary heat wave, and drifted towards the unknown distance with dreams.

Every afternoon, the prosperous and noisy streets and alleys of Monteres will be filled with a lazy atmosphere. The heat is steaming under the blazing sunshine, and the sharp cicadas echo for a long time. The body and mind seem to fall into the boredom of dampness, heat and sweat.

"Hey, man! Have you heard of it? The mysterious murderer who killed Cledocho a few days ago actually broke into the Pinewood Pass and fled Monteres."

In the corner of a simple and elegant teahouse, a sweaty man sat on a chair and drank the cold green bean soup in a bowl. This most popular heat-clearing and cooling drink in summer seemed to relieve the man from the hot summer boredom. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and spit out the heat. The man started talking to his friend opposite the table.

"其—Who doesn't know about this?" The friend said with a little contempt.

"It seems that my friend knows a lot. I have been busy preparing for going out to sea these days and have no time to inquire about this matter. Many things are heard from others. Why don't you tell me other inside stories?" The man was not angry at all because of his friend's attitude, but instead asked with great enthusiasm.

"Haha, I do know a lot of inside story, but..." a friend smiled with malicious intentions.

"Okay! I'll treat you to Hongou Tavern tonight!" The man knew what his friend revealed very well, and then said heroically.

"Trade!" The friend smiled with satisfaction: "If I hadn't had a buddy in the security hall, maybe I wouldn't know much about it, just like you."

"Speak quickly!" the man urged anxiously.

"Do you know? As my buddy in the security room was drinking with me, the murderer who killed Cledo Ochi was probably the same person who poisoned Brending Goch." The friend glanced at the people around him and said mysteriously towards the man. "And the other party seemed to have a great connection with the murderer who wanted the manifesto."

"No way?!" The man said with his eyes widened and he was afraid to believe it.

"How do I know? This is just a guess within their security hall." The friend shrugged: "Since the incident of forcing the pass, the military conference hall has intervened."

"Be good! I'm really sad for the murderer being targeted by the cold-blooded guys in the military conference hall. If I were to say so, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night." The man said astonished.

"Tsk, don't forget that the person who can kill Cledo Ochi is a simple guy?" the friend shook his head. "Although my friend in the security room said that Cledo Ochi was poisoned before his death, characters like him are not something that ordinary people can easily kill! Don't forget that many bounty hunters who intended to be unfavorable to him four years ago failed."

"Hmph. If we hadn't been for support from Monteres, I wouldn't have thought Cledo Ochi would have lived to this day." The man said disdainfully.

"That's right! No one who offended us Monteres would end up well." The friend nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, a blonde man sitting at another table shook his head and chuckled, then stood up and walked out the door, and a carriage drove slowly to the door.

Diweit picked up a thin stack of documents placed on the seat of the car and browsed it carefully. His cold and mean face gradually became more and more smiling, as if he had discovered something particularly interesting.

"Mr. Lowell, you are indeed not a simple person... It's a pity that you met a cunning and smart hunter this time. I hope you can have good luck to escape his pursuit."

Today is the day when the underground auction begins.

...

...

"Mr. Ansel, we have traced the source of the initial flow of currency into the market of Monteres!"

In the office of the Public Security Department.

Ansel listened to his deputy's report with a solemn expression. A cold arc curled up at the corner of his mouth. He tapped the table gently and pondered for a moment: "Have the specific situation been questioned clearly?"

"Yes! The other party is Oufuri, the manager of the Crocker Pirates Group, who is responsible for selling stolen goods. According to him, this foreign currency was provided by a young man in a black robe and ordinary face when he bought alchemy materials." The deputy standing in front of him held the interrogation materials in his hand and said seriously: "Although Oufuri has never seen him again, he provided a very important clue. When he led the young man to his stall to buy ufuri materials, a little boy acted as a guide. If we find that boy, we may know more about the mysterious youth."

"What about clues from other sources of currencies?" Ansel said in a deep voice.

The deputy walked up and placed the information documents in his hand on Ansel's table one by one and said, "Inspector, this is the investigation report of the Anemone Hotel, this is the Single Trading Market, this is the currency exchanger, and this is the scattered merchants in other areas..."

After Anselle read the documents in front of him one after another, the deputy who had been observing his expression said in a timely manner: "Although these investigation reports are numerous, the most valuable one is the investigation report of the Anemone Hotel and Singlei Trading Market. The former learned through interrogation that the mysterious young man had moved in with three people that night when Brendingoch entered the port, and the description of the appearance was indeed a mysterious young man. The latter was the source of the circulation of a large amount of foreign currency after Brendingoch's death, but we have not found out who the person who used these currencies behind the scenes! I suspect that a large number of traders seemed to be hiding something!"

"Haha, we all know how deep the water in the Singlei trading market is. It seems that I need to go there in person later." Ansel snorted coldly.

"I believe the detective can definitely be easily captured! Thank you for your hard work for so long, we can finally expose the true face of the criminal!" The deputy said with a slightly flattering sentence and excitedly.

"I also have to thank the old man of the autopsy for the reminder! Otherwise we would almost fall into the misleading of each other's thinking."

Ansel stood up and stood in front of the window, fiddling with the blinds that blocked the sunlight outside the window, staring deep in his eyes at the scorching sun outside the window and whispered: "Besides, since there are people from the Military Council Hall intervening in chasing the mysterious four people who are rushing to the barriers, we can take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the clues of the mysterious young man. Unexpectedly, we found decisive evidence in the end. I am sure that the other party must still be in Monteres!"

"Inspector, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. Even if we discover the opponent, we may not be able to catch the strength." The deputy said with deep thoughts and concerns.

"I will inform the Director of this. Without being sure, I will not easily disturb the other party!" Ansel said with a cautious expression. "You will continue to follow up on the clues later. After coming out of the Director's office, I will go to the Singlei Trading Market."

"This... Inspector, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an auction inside the Singlei trading market today." said the deputy.

"That's right! I've heard of the auction inside the Singlei Trading Market for a long time, but I didn't expect that I could finally see it today." Ansel turned around and smiled relaxedly, "When will the auction start?"

"After night falls," the deputy reminded: "Inspector, if you enter the auction, you need an invitation."

"Invitation? Is my Inspector's title not as good as an invitation? A joke!" Ansel said in an instant cold face.

"This... Inspector, you can't do stupid things!" the deputy said hurriedly.

"Who said I want to do stupid things! Don't worry, I have a way to enter this auction!" Ansel said with great success.

In front of a quaint manor villa near the sea, Diweit slowly walked down from the carriage. He looked up at the dazzling sunshine, felt the scorching sea breeze, and couldn't help but feel the slightest sweat all over his body.

Knocking at the door, soon after, the figure of the housekeeper Bernie appeared on the road made of pebbles in the distance.

"Mr. Diweit, you are here."

Bernie, who came to greet him in person, opened the door and greeted him politely.

"Do you know I'll come today?" Diweit smiled.

"Yes, because Mr. Lowell specifically told me in the morning to be ready to wait for your arrival at any time," said Bernie, the housekeeper.

"Haha, how does the new master feel?" Diweit said casually bypassing the fountain in the middle of the road.

"Mr. Lowell is a very principled and generous and mysterious master, and at least the servants in the manor welcome each other very much." said Bernie, the butler.

"I think you welcome Mr. Lowell's money, right?" Diweit teased.

"No one will refuse to throw money into his arms, will he?" Housekeeper Bernie replied with a smile.

"Tell me how you really feel about him these days." Diweit put away his frivolity, his face regained its coldness and calmness.

"He is kind on the surface, but actually is cold and arrogant, and he acts mysteriously. He often doesn't see him, but his wife is the one who impressed me the most." Butler Bernie took a deep breath and said, "Although his wife's words and deeds are like ordinary ladies, her temperament is very difficult to describe. Every time she faces her, she will tremble involuntarily."

"Oh? There is something like this?" Diweit said in shock.

"You will see Mr. Lowell's wife later, and you will naturally understand what I said."

Before they knew it, the two came to the door of the villa. The long-awaited servant opened the door and greeted them. Through the hall corridor, in the luxurious living room, Diweit saw a pair of men and women sitting on the sofa not far away.

He and her look so ordinary, so ordinary that they are full of incongruity. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
