Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 177: night

East Side, Black Palm Street.

On summer nights, even in the wind, there was a bit of heat. Aitris, wearing a full set of workers’ clothes, was sweaty and could not help but miss the days at sea. Although it was also hot and humid, it could light up casually. Shirtless, unlike in Backlund, even in the Eastern District, the behavior of taking off his shirt completely would be eye-catching.

I don't know how long he has, without a map, he intuitively came to a familiar crossroad, this is the place he stepped on a few days ago.

There are few gas street lights here, and you can only see one or two from a distance. If the dark clouds hadn't obscured the red moon tonight, Aitris believed that many sections of roads would be so dark that they could not be seen.

As he walked, he suddenly heard a curse from ahead:

"Get up! Get up all!

"You can't sleep here, son of a bitch!

"The streets and parks are not places to sleep for your lazy shit!"

Aitris was stunned, and the corresponding word "Poverty Relief Method" popped up in her mind, and she understood what was going on. When he was a police officer before, he did similar things during night patrols. At first, he thought it was nothing. He did it to protect the laws of the kingdom...

But since going to the world outside of Backlund and truly experiencing the life of the poor at the bottom, even after she was woken up by a club while sleeping in the park, Etrace had doubts about the legitimacy of her previous behavior. So that I often think... Is that really correct? Why did the members of the two houses enact such an impersonal law?

He once asked this question to his guide in the extraordinary world, Mr. Anderson, the "strongest hunter".

I remember that Mr. Anderson sneered and replied: "Because those councillors can represent the interests of the nobility, they can represent the interests of the factory owners, they can represent the interests of the church, they can even represent the interests of the emerging class, but none of them are the real low-level poor. , Of course not speaking for them."

Later, Mr. Anderson told him that there are even more than a dozen large bookshelves in the University of Lemberg on these kinds of sociology and political sciences, but it is useless to discuss them clearly. The world is powerful after all. What people say.

At that time, Etreis expressed her yearning for the University of Lemburg after listening. Who knew that Mr. Anderson laughed so **** the spot that she threw him a test paper and told him not to do it without a score of 85 or more. Dreaming.

Then, his "dream" was completely awake, because he didn't know any of the questions in the test paper...

Recalling this, Aitris shook her head, throwing away the messy thoughts, and then distinguished her direction and walked to the street on the right.

The streets of this generation are controlled by the Phillips Party. They control a large number of street girls, soliciting customers on the edge of bars and roads to do some indescribable activities.

This block is also considered a "prosperous" area in the East District. Various buildings are relatively good, and the environment on the street is not so dirty. The air is filled with oyster soup, pan-fried fish and **** left by street vendors. The taste of beer and other food and beverages and the fishy smell of fish and aquatic products.

Aitris was unintentionally observing the environment here. He hurried to a slightly outdated apartment. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly saw a 13- or 14-year-old girl walking out of Broax Alley on the other side of the street. She was wearing A shabby dark yellow dress that has been stitched many times, still holding a word book in his hand.

And behind her was a girl who was slightly older than her. She was about seventeen or eighteen. She was also wearing an old skirt. She was chasing her sister's footsteps while complaining that her sister was walking too fast. Don't wait for her.

However, they soon saw Aitris standing in front of the apartment. The older girl's face sank immediately and said: "Why are you here again? You are not welcome here!"

At this time, her sister pulled her sister’s sleeves, then turned back to face Aitris politely and alienatedly: "Sir, I know you are a gentleman of noble character, but you have already kept my father’s relics as promised. Bring it back and fulfill your promise to him, so please stop disturbing our lives, okay?"

Aitris grinned reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "I just saw that you haven't moved out of the Eastern District for so many days. I want to ask if there are any difficulties... Is the money not enough... After all, I owe Sam... "

"Sir, this is the Eastern District." The younger girl didn't say much, only emphasized such a sentence.

Aitris was silent for a moment, and then understood. This is the most chaotic place in Backlund in the Eastern District. If the women of this family move suddenly, they are afraid that fools will know that they have got a windfall, and they cannot provide protection at any time... Maybe the money given before will be harmful. Them.

"Sir, we are already very grateful to you, at least mother, she doesn't have to be so tired... So, don't bother us anymore, okay? Your arrival will only make us more dangerous." The younger girl emphasized again. , But the voice was lowered a bit.

"Okay..." Atriss finally nodded helplessly, then handed her two letters, and exhorted, "If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, take this letter to the police in the Joe Wood district. The bureau went to Sergeant Fassin, and he would provide some help when he saw the letter... As for the other one, if there was something that Sergeant Fassin couldn’t do, just take it to find'Hero Detective' Brian, I believe You have heard of his name."

"'Hero Detective' Blaine?" The two girls didn't want to accept the letter, but they changed their minds when they heard the name, and even said in an incredible way: "You...you still recognize Detective Blaine?"

"Yes, I recognize him... I admire him very much for the way you look." Aitris was a little surprised, and felt that the effect of saying so many words just now was not as good as mentioning a name.

"Detective Bryan is our'hero' in the east side, and sister Janice in the next street was rescued from the company controlled by the gang in the dock area." The 13-year-old girl replied with bright eyes.

"Aunt Kelly's family was also rescued by him and Miss Arbitrator. He is a real hero." The girl's sister also said with excitement.

That guy Abner is very famous! I really envy……

While thinking sourly in her heart, Aitris took the opportunity to talk to the two girls, and she was relieved to learn that they had just returned from the night school established by the church.

However, even if Abner’s name was lifted, the two girls were still very wary of him. Aitris had to regretfully leave this dilapidated apartment filled with moisture and various smells, and decided to wait for it to be found. Help them in a suitable way to repay Sam for his life-saving grace.

After seeing Aitris turning and leaving, the younger girl looked at his distant back and couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, this gentleman is a good man. My mother just didn't want to touch him too much, and didn't blame him. the meaning of……"

"I know, but so what? The news he brought made my mother sad! And... that person~lightnovelpub.net~ I don't admit that it is my father!"

...

After bidding farewell to the two girls, Aitris turned back to Black Palm Street, entered the temporary residence she rented here, changed into a more convenient attire for walking at night, and then headed to another block controlled by the gang.

There are his hunting targets.

...

Late at night,

There was a "click".

Abner, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a small voice in his ear.

He woke up immediately, turned on the gas lamp in the room, and rubbed the "Ring of Light" ring, ready to be excited at any time.

Ooh!

At this moment, a blast of cold wind blew by without warning, and the light of the gas lamp suddenly turned greenish.
