Chapter 35: Commission From Damir Port
No wonder you, teacher, have such a good relationship with Klein in the original book. They are both masters of 'reporting studies' and share a common language!
While Abner was slandering, he also carefully considered Detective Issinger's suggestion. After a while, he seemed to have figured something out, and then asked, "Teacher, do you have any specific plans?"
Detective Essinger did not answer immediately, but glanced at him with a smile, and asked, "What do you think we need to do to report those two witches skillfully?"
Knowing that it was the teacher who was testing him, Abner cautiously replied: "First of all, it's time to report. It can't be too early. It must be after I complete Ms. Rey's commission. Otherwise, she will be reported as soon as she is commissioned. It’s hard not to suspect me.” Even though he said so, Abner actually felt that this time had to be postponed at least until Rey got in touch with those noble men and got detailed information! Only in this way, will it not affect the plan of the secret organization that cannot be named, and will not hinder the so-called 'correct' historical trend. As long as the plan goes well, the life and death of the two tool men and witches will not attract the attention of that organization or that Him at all.
Abner was even thinking, if he had the above thoughts, could it be arranged by a certain King of Angels writer himself?
"Not bad, what else?" Detective Essinger nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"Secondly, who will report it. If I or Hugh do it, because we lack the necessary evidence and we don't want to expose ourselves as superhumans, this may lead to not being taken seriously by the authorities. It's easy for the Witch to detect and take revenge." Having said that, Abner glanced at his teacher, and he was the best person to report based on his relationship with the Nighthawks and the Mechanical Heart.
Detective Essinger understood what his student meant, but shook his head and said, "It's not the best choice for me to go, because it will inevitably reveal that we know Rey is a witch and help her collect noble information It’s fine if you report it at the first time. I’m afraid you will be held accountable for this kind of attitude after the fact. After all, this is not Lunburg. Although I have a tacit understanding with the Nighthawks and the Mechanical Heart, I can’t challenge some bottom lines. .”
Abner frowned when he heard the words, and after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "If you can't report it, how are you going to report it to the authorities? Could it be that we forged some clues to attract the authorities to take the initiative to investigate?"
"The idea is right, but it is not advisable to create clues. According to what Emperor Roselle said, it is easy to 'self-defeating', because the official investigation methods are various, and it is difficult to guarantee that the details will not be discovered, and the investigation will be pointed at us instead! Detective Essinger reminded.
Abner nodded thoughtfully, and then followed Detective Essinger's reminder, and came up with a new idea: "Since it can't be manufactured, then reveal the traces left by the witch little by little and expose them to the official transcendent, and guide them Find the witch! In this way, we can extract ourselves and not be suspected by both parties."
"This plan still looks like it... From the information we got before, it can be seen that among the two witches, the 'witch' Lina of Sequence 7 is obviously not cautious enough, otherwise Miss Hugh would not have been warned. Even the mechanical heart will not ambush her before! Roselle has a famous saying, "Whoever walks, leaves traces." This kind of careless person can be said to have traces everywhere in the eyes of professionals. Once the authorities have paid attention to her, they can trace her to Rey." Detective Essinger pointed out to his students.
"Then, there is one last question. Between now and the official entry, what should Hugh do? You must know that Lina has already found her." Abner looked at Hugh beside him, and asked the teacher for advice.
At this time, Xio waved his hand and said, "Actually, I have no problem. As long as I don't continue to show up in the East District during this period, it won't be so easy for them to find me."
"My suggestion is to leave Backlund and go to another city to avoid it.
Detective Essinger suggested with a smile, "The two witches obviously have missions for their organization, and they won't leave easily. What's more, their investigation of Turner is probably just a matter of convenience. Once the target of the investigation leaves, they will definitely not waste time and energy. "
"How long do you have to leave?" Xio frowned, obviously not wanting to leave Backlund, this is the place of hope for her to become stronger and avenge her father.
"One month should be about the same." Abner still believed in the witch's 'business' ability, and one month was enough for her to collect all the information on Baron Gramere.
"One month... That's okay!" Xio breathed a sigh of relief, it's not too long, she can accept it.
Seeing this, Abner whispered a joke to Xio: "Perhaps when you come back, you will find that Fors has already contacted one of the most shining noble ladies in Backlund!" Fate is sometimes so strange, a month later It happened to be the time period when Hugh was released from prison in the original book.
"I'm afraid that without my supervision, she will just lie at home for a month..." Xio was a little worried when she heard this, the more she thought about it, the more likely it was. She wasn't worried about Fors' safety. In Backlund, no one except Abner knew about her relationship with Fors.
"Abner, what I said about leaving Backlund is not only for Miss Hugh, but also for you!" Detective Essinger interjected at this time.
"What? Why do I have to avoid them?" Abner asked puzzled. As long as Xio is not caught, there is no way to find him, right?
"The famous 'Arbiter' Hugh in the East District often shares breakfast with a certain man in a restaurant on Dalles Street... I have heard of this news even if I haven't deliberately checked it out. Do you think the witch won't be able to find out?" Ai Detective Singer knocked on the table, expressively.
This is really... If they can't find Xio, they may still come to me... I didn't expect it before, what a mistake.
Abner reviewed himself, and then said worriedly: "But if Hugh and I leave, will those two witches find you?"
Detective Essinger laughed when he heard the words, and said: "I am different from you, you are just a Sequence 9 and a Sequence 8 with little combat power, the witch crushing you to death is actually just a matter of hand... But to deal with me who has a Sequence 6 Extraordinary fighters with combat power, they have to judge whether it is worth it, after all, they still have missions, so there is no need to make enemies indiscriminately."
"But how do they know that you have Sequence 6 combat power?" Abner asked, frowning.
"If the Gnosis Society or the Witch Sect really colluded with MI9, then they would not be ignorant of my specific situation." Speaking of this, Detective Essinger said in a playful tone, "They will attack me It is also very difficult to really keep me, I am sure enough to get out. And this saves me a lot of trouble, and there is no need to guide the authorities to find clues, the attack itself is the biggest evidence."
Then why didn't you suggest luring the witch to attack you in the first place? Abner complained in his heart, but he didn't say it, after all he was afraid of being beaten. And the success rate is indeed too low. As the teacher said, the witch may not mind killing a Sequence 9, but she is definitely not willing to fight a Sequence 6 without much benefit.
While Abner was thinking about it, Detective Essinger said again: "It just so happens that I have a commission here that needs to go on a business trip... I was not at ease to just entrust it to you, but if Miss Hugh can go with you, then It's not a big problem. Well, I'll pay the commission fee."
"Mr. Stanton, you are too kind. You have helped me so much. It is only right for me to handle the entrustment for you. There is no need to pay." Xio waved his hand quickly after hearing this, indicating that he didn't need it.
And Abner asked curiously: "Teacher, what is the commission?"
"It's from Damir Port, an old friend of mine asking for help! You need to deal with an extraordinary incident... Hehe, go east from Backlund, go to Pritz Harbor, and reach Mir. After dealing with the incident, return to En Matt Harbor, and then from East Chester County via Tingen, back to Backlund. Calculated for this journey, it takes almost exactly one month..."
