Chapter 143 A healthy body resides in a healthy soul, which is not shameful
"Boss, there is a detective named Kerr looking for you."
Assistant Kelly knocked on the open office door and said to Wayne who was writing quickly: "He is in the conference room. Do you want to meet him?"
Wayne looked at his watch in confusion. It had only been an hour since he dialed Kerr's phone: "Ask him to wait for another ten minutes and say I'm very busy. It's best to find an excuse to let him leave. This guy is too troublesome."
With that said, Wayne continued writing in his diary.
Veronica's needs have been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she urges her to update her diary every time she practices. Unfortunately, his future diary has been written until March next year.
How can there be such a rush to update? What he writes is a documentary diary, focusing on the truth, not a novel. It is difficult to make up random things without real experiences.
Fortunately, he has developed a good habit of reading. He has been reading books recently, especially history books, and has learned a lot of jokes and routines. Otherwise, he might not be able to compile them if he doesn't have anything in his stomach.
Half an hour later, Wayne put down his pen and placed the diary openly on his desk.
He stood up, stretched his arms, and wandered towards the conference room. When he reached the door, he quickened his pace and apologized for being late: "I've been waiting for a long time. I'm really busy. Let's go. We'll talk on the way."
"Where to go?"
Kerr was a little confused and didn't understand what was happening.
"Didn't you treat me to dinner? We just agreed on the phone." Wayne looked surprised.
That's what you promised, but I didn't.
Kerr put down the coffee cup in his hand: "Your coffee is good. I thought it would be cheap, but I can't tell that you are quite willing to give it up."
"My clients belong to the upper class and are highly educated. Cheap coffee will bring down the quality of the detective agency. Once the client develops a disdainful attitude, when quoting..."
Wayne took it subconsciously, stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, and said angrily: "Don't change the subject, where are you going to eat?"
"I won't invite you. What's the point of eating with two men? This is Lundan. People may misunderstand you. Let my sister Mona do it for you."
Kerr shrugged and looked at Wayne curiously: "From your superficial aesthetic point of view, she is definitely a beauty, with a good figure and a good personality. Aren't you going to pursue her?"
How come you clergymen behave like pimps?
She is a nun, not Shengyuan!
Wayne rolled his eyes. Mona obviously came to the detective agency for a purpose. He only flirted with her when he had a lot of free time. If he had this time, he might as well increase his favorability on the three ships.
Regardless of this reason, he is very dedicated to love. On the day he first met Mona, he did not trigger the throbbing of first love and actively pursued her. There was no difference between this and lusting after her body.
Bah, you are a bitch!
"Wayne, what are you talking about? What's wrong with my sister?"
Who asked you to ask this? Is it from the Holy See?
"She is too old, in her thirties. I am different. I am still young and worthy of an eighteen-year-old girl."
Wayne was very perfunctory, hoping that Kerr would send a message to the Holy See. He was a serious person and would not be a womanizer. Instead of wasting time on him, it was better to focus more on Lundan's devil.
"By the way, speaking of Detective Mona, I asked you to notify her family to collect the body. Have you notified her?" Wayne reminded.
Although I don’t know what kind of trouble Mona is in, but being able to force a silver mage to pack up and run away is also a belief in hell at the beginning.
"I was notified, but no one cared."
Kerr took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly: "The situation in her family is relatively complicated. Businessmen have been suppressed by local consortiums. They suffered heavy losses in fighting competitors some time ago. The elders in the family are now bedridden, and they are hanging themselves. Ping, I don’t have time to care about her.”
Speaking of which, he gave Wayne a look.
That’s it, you can experience the rest by yourself!
Wayne was happy: "Didn't you two reorganize your family? Her elders are your elders, so you are not worried at all?"
"I'm not even a branch of the family, I don't have the right to inherit, and they don't like me very much. I left the family a long time ago and worked alone."
"I don't quite understand, please elaborate."
"Let's put it this way, it's like two detective agencies. One of them offered a higher price, so I jumped ship."
What do you mean, you are also from the Free Mage Alliance?
Wayne was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true that Kerr was involved in the White Gloves Organization Association. The White Gloves Association belonged to the Windsor royal family and was inseparable from the Free Mage Alliance.
"Her elders couldn't get out of bed, so they paid me to help. The price was very high. I had no reason to struggle with the money, so I simply agreed." Kerr explained the reason why he came to Wayne. One person is not safe, so he took Pay half of the commission fee and invite Wayne to go on the road together.
"After all, she is also your employee and has been exploited by you. For the queen's sake, will you come with me to Eclipse Town?"
Why does it have to be me?
Wayne raised his eyebrows. He tried to avoid it several times, but he still came to the door...
Fishing?
"I'm afraid that won't work. I'm too busy."
"Half is already a lot, a total of fifty thousand constitutions, which is bigger than the White Glove Association's list. You can't make so much no matter what you do." Kerr put down the coffee cup.
That's not necessarily the case. I've been losing money on investments recently, so I picked up a mother for nothing and made a lot of money!
Wayne groaned and waited for the price to increase. Speaking of which, he was ready to go out for a walk even if he didn't have 50,000 constitutions.
He was promoted to Silver and was in urgent need of help from his fellow villagers. He found a meditation array dedicated to the Golden Mage in Xifei's study. Overjoyed, he stayed up late and worked overtime, setting up thirty of them in the sewers in one night.
Later it was cut down to two!
Afraid of baldness! !
The meditation array can call the four nearby elements to actively move closer, which is the elemental version of the spirit gathering array. Wayne has used it before, and the effect is outstanding and the experience is excellent.
Meditation arrays dedicated to Golden Mage are more effective and are generally only set up in the major strongholds of various churches. Due to their terrifying extraction effects, unauthorized use without permission is illegal and will be labeled as a black magician, making them the favorites of bounty hunters. The darling of the chase.
There is a saying that goes well, when you are gathering wool, you can’t just catch one person. If the person is like that person, even a blind person can see it.
Rabbits also know not to eat grass near their nests!
With his method, Lundan will not change into the same person, but thirty spirit-gathering arrays are thirty elemental restricted areas, which is equivalent to about thirty patches of bald spots, and a blind man can still see it.
Two is enough, don’t go too far. After all, the four elements are public resources after all.
If you can't help it, if you have to do something illegal, it's not impossible. Find a place with few magicians, shoot him in a different place, and there's no way to trace him even if he's bald.
Eclipse Town, where Mona is located, is good. It is a hundred kilometers away from Lundan and close to Jianhe County. It has a small population and no church stronghold. There are several spirit gathering arrays along the way.
Wayne originally planned to take a sip secretly when he went to Jianhe County, but now he has the same effect when going to Eclipse Town. Afterwards, he can go back to Jianhe County to check in, and he can save gas money on the trip.
Perfect!
But, you can't say this to Kerr. He costs hundreds of thousands per minute. If you want him to go on a long trip, you have to pay more.
It’s best to increase it to 180,000!
In the end, the two bargained and negotiated, and the entrusted amount was determined at 80,000.
Wayne looked at Kerr with a puzzled look on his face: "As far as I know her family is very stingy. Why should she spend such an unjust money on someone else? Why do she have to go to me?"
"What do you mean, I don't understand?"
"No, you understand, that's what I meant."
Kerr's heart skipped a beat. Now that he was talking about it, he simply didn't hide it. He looked around and said, "Her family has an informant in the White Glove Association... Don't look, it's really not me. Last time the Evil God came to Dragon Heart Island After that, she asked me to help introduce her and applied for your detective agency. "
"Then what?"
"That's all I know."
Kerr shrugged and asked, but Mona refused to say. According to the Holy See's style of doing things, it was very possible that Mona herself didn't know what she was looking for.
Wayne raised his hand and touched his chin. Could it be that the Holy See was also looking for the Holy Son or the Holy Knight? Because he drove away the blood tyrant, the Holy See recognized him as one of its own? "Wayne, when are you going to leave?"
"I'll go home and get something, and we'll meet here in half an hour before we set off again." Wayne wanted to put the diary back in the bedroom, taking a pistol with him for self-defense.
People in Windsor are afraid of gun violence!
"Okay, I'll go back to the detective agency. I happen to have a commission not far from Eclipse Town. After I find Mona, I'll go to Silent Hill. See you in half an hour. Don't be late this time."
Kerr is not interested in the task of finding Mona. He is just a messenger, and he cannot let a small matter in the Holy See delay him from making a lot of money.
"Wha, what ridge?"
Wayne picked his ears and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"silent Hill."
Oh, it turns out to be Dumb Tun!
Wayne's eyelids twitched, the name sounded very evil, and he said kindly: "I have been to Jianhe County, and the university life there is very good. I stayed there for a while, and I think I know the surrounding areas of Jianhe County very well. I’ve seen the place name ‘Silent Hill’ on the map.”
"It's a small place. It's normal that it's not marked on the map."
"Okay, if you have any questions, call the detective agency and the assistant will notify me. Remember to share half of the money with me then."
"Wayne, you are too sensitive. Not everything has problems."
"Maybe..."
It's hard to say for other places, but there must be something wrong with such an evil name as Silent Hill. He bet 50 cents that Kerr would be evil this time.
————
Half an hour later, two cars drove out of Lundan one after another.
Kerr led the way, and Wayne strictly followed traffic rules and followed behind at a safe driving distance.
Seeing that Kerr was driving a car by himself instead of riding with him, Wayne knew that this kid was always ready to get out of the way whenever he arrived. His attitude was so perfunctory and he didn't care at all. He was indeed not from the Holy See.
Kerr has been in the detective industry for many years and is very familiar with the road conditions in Lundam and the surrounding areas. The experienced driver does not use a map when driving and takes shortcuts throughout the journey. Wayne arrived at Eclipse Town before he could figure out the detour.
"The roads you are walking on are all broken and too narrow."
"Just tell me whether it's faster or not!"
Kerr looked at his watch. During tea time, he took Wayne for a walk around the town and accurately found the nearest bar.
Eclipse Town is not a prosperous town. Like other rural towns, affected by industrialization, a large number of people have moved to the city, and it looks quite depressed.
It is also a small town, but because of its remote location and no train connections, it is much worse than the egg-rich town of Enlord.
In such an environment, the bar's business was not much better. When the two of them entered, the bartender lay on the bar and dozed off.
Kerr ordered a simple meal and a glass of beer. Seeing that Wayne only ordered two sandwiches, he nodded and praised: "Yes, you should drink less alcohol in bars. Drinking too much can lead to pregnancy. I have seen many such cases." People, when I wake up, I don’t know who the child’s father is.”
Stop being so talkative, eat quickly, and look for someone after you finish eating.
Wayne didn't bother to talk to Kerr and stuffed the sandwich into his belly as quickly as possible. It was very inelegant, but it fit the environment of the bar.
"Wayne, I don't know if you've heard that people who don't drink waste half of their lives." Kerr raised his beer and said, "Come on, Eclipse Town is very famous for its drinks and holds a beer festival every year."
"I've also heard a saying that people who drink will waste the other half of their lives." Wayne refused the drink and asked Kerr to hurry up and take his time. If Mona wasn't acting, maybe he would take his time now. Rubbed.
"Thankfully you are still a gentleman and don't have any patience at all..."
Halfway through his words, Kerr heard the door opening and subconsciously glanced towards the bar door.
His eyes suddenly shrank and his breathing stagnated!
Wayne frowned and looked toward the door from the corner of his eye. When he saw that the person coming was a Windsor strongman weighing more than 200 pounds, he was immediately speechless.
This body type is for military fans, ah no, it is Kerr’s favorite.
The female strongman is gorgeously dressed and holds a lady's bag in her hand. Although her appearance is somewhat like a nouveau riche, she wears gold and silver and is definitely not a technician who is short of money to make a living.
Wayne asked Kerr to save his energy, as chatting up would be a waste of time. He would accompany him to find Mona first, and then he could do as he pleased with her.
"No, I'm fast!"
Kerr raised his beer and asked the bartender to get another one, and said proudly: "Wayne, it's not a waste of time to strike up a conversation. Believe me, you are just too shy. All you have to do is walk up to the other person, reach out your hand, and ask her if she has a man. My friend, you will definitely get no reply, I have never failed with this trick.”
This face of yours is in vain, remember to keep it up!
Wayne didn't know where to complain, and said speechlessly: "Since I met you, my world has been full of pornography. Don't you think your behavior is very shameful?"
"A healthy body resides in a healthy soul. It's not shameful!"
No, you are not sane at all!
When the bartender brought the beer, Kerr handed over a bill and asked for some information about Hercules.
The result was not very good. Indeed, she did not have a boyfriend, but she was married, and her husband was also the mayor of the town.
Kerr sighed, gave up the idea of striking up a conversation, and complained to Wayne aggrievedly: "Love comes and goes quickly. I thought I was in love, but I never expected that I came too late, and the woman I like is in the arms of someone else. The love affair is over before it even begins.”
"To put it another way, do you feel more comfortable if you like a woman in someone else's arms?" Wayne grabbed Kerr and walked out of the bar.
As a human being, you cannot always bring in the master of suffering. If you change your perspective, it will be much more comfortable to bring in the thief. If you think the Cao thief sounds bad, then let’s put it another way: a heroic figure.
Kerr felt that Wayne's words were unreasonable because he was really lovelorn.
The two came to the bar where Mona was staying, handed over a bill, and asked about Mona's whereabouts.
"Sorry, I can't disclose the guest's whereabouts to you, even if you call yourself her friend." The boss shook his head, very principled.
"You are so principled, what did you just collect the money for?"
Kerr took out another bill and handed it over: "Please hurry up, lives are at stake, we are in a hurry."
The boss didn't say anything until he got the third banknote, which awakened his sleeping memory and proactively revealed the information: "That lady seemed to be investigating something. She was targeted by the police in the town. As far as I know, the town All the police officers take orders from the Mayor of Wales.”
Wayne looked at Kerr, so, the mayor also has a script?
Kerr frowned. The script was a little complicated, and it was very different from what he imagined. It didn't look like the Holy See's style of doing things: "Let's go, let's go to the police station and ask. Mona may really be in trouble."
For the two silver mages, the small town police station is no different from a bus. You can get in when you want and get out when you want. With a polarizing magician, you can save money on the bus ticket.
In the Sheriff's Office, Wayne stuffed the Sheriff with a mushroom and answered all the questions asked by the other person, explaining everything.
A gold mine was dug in Silent Hill. In order to take possession of the wealth, the mayor secretly used many tricks. Mona, who was passing by, was nosy and was chased by the mayor's thugs and drove away to Silent Hill.
What kind of thug is so powerful that he can chase the silver mage? x2
Wayne and Kerr looked at each other, and the latter nodded and complained: "What am I talking about? I should have struck up a conversation just now. If you hadn't kept urging me, I would have done it ten times, ten times, What information can’t be extracted?”
Wayne rolled his eyes, not bragging like that, he curled his lips ten times.
