This is actually the case... Sure enough, the sealed artifacts have strong side effects. Unless they can be used to intimidate the source fort like Klein, they can't easily find the loopholes.

　　 Abner looked at Xiu’s pale face, and said with concern: "How do you feel? I know a pharmacist. If you don’t feel well, maybe you can ask him to prepare a medicine."

　　 Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I will recover soon."

　　 "Really it's okay?" Abner was still a little uneasy, quietly turned on Lingshi, and looked at her etheric body, and found that her healthy color was very normal, but she was slightly tired, which relieved her mind.

　　 "It's really okay." Xio repeated it affirmatively, and then deliberately changed the subject, talking about her being stopped by the MI9, and finally said:

　　 "That person should be my father's former subordinate that Detective Stanton said. I can feel that he is kind to me."

　　 "He invited you to join MI9 as a spy? Did you agree?" Abner asked curiously.

　　 "I haven't agreed yet...I want to hear your opinion. Well, Forsi, I also asked. The advice she gave me is also to ask you." Xio looked at Abner, with a little expectation in her eyes.

　　Ebner knew what she was expecting. The girl wanted to speculate from his attitude whether joining MI9 would help to find out her father's case.

"You can join. The identity of the MI9 spy can not only provide you with an opportunity to find out the truth, but also the key to improving your strength. After all, the role of the'arbitrator' approach often requires official cooperation." Abner thought a little bit. , Then gave a positive answer.

　　 "Okay, then I will reply to the ‘Golden Mask’ when I go back today." Xio nodded, her tone of excitement also a little bit of joy, she felt that she was one step closer to being wronged by her father Zhaoxue.

　　 Seeing that she was happy, Ebner was also infected with a little smile. Then, he also mentioned what he wanted to investigate and asked her to help collect some relevant information about the "Vincent Labor and Service Company" first.

Hearing the name of this company, Hugh groaned and said, "What a coincidence... I just received a commission from a worker's family in the Eastern District yesterday. The eldest son of their family disappeared while working for that company. Unaccounted for..."

　　 "What is the background of this company? Does the client provide specific information?" Abner frowned, raising the company's danger level by a level in his heart.

　　 "I don't know yet, this commission was handed over to me from the middleman. I plan to visit the client's house in person later." Xio shook his head and explained.

　　 "Then I will also go with you and join you in your first case as a'sheriff', okay?" Abner thought for a while and asked with a smile.

　　 "It's a great honor." Hugh raised his eyebrows and answered simply.

　　 On the steam train bound for Backlund, a beautiful girl in a blue dress who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old returned to her seat with three cups of iced sweet tea bought from the conductor.

She distributed the extra iced sweet tea to the two companions, and then brought her long brown hair to the back of her head. Then she complained: "Who said that the north is cooler? This spooky weather is even hotter in the game. what."

Hearing this, a black-haired, red-eyed man opposite her seat, who was handsome but lacks masculinity, chuckled and said, "Judy, you have to know that the climates in coastal cities and inland are different, and they are hot. It’s a completely different feeling when I get up."

"Karen, I really envy your physique, so that you won't be afraid of the summer heat." The girl named Judy drank a sip of iced sweet tea and smiled, "But sip an iced drink in such scorching heat. It's also a rare and beautiful experience."

At this moment, a burly man who was sitting next to Karen in his thirties, who was more than two meters tall and wearing a green robe opened his eyes. He glanced at the man and woman who had just spoken, and reminded him: In public, be careful when speaking. And this is Luen, try to stay vigilant."

　　 Judy and Karen looked at each other, nodded obediently, and whispered back: "Yes, Captain."

　　 The tall captain showed a smile, and took a sip of the iced sweet tea bought by his team members, and then asked: "How long will we have to get to Backlund?"

　　 "The train has passed East Tucker County and is expected to arrive at six o'clock in the evening." Judy glanced at the timetable posted on the train door and replied.

　　 "Let's get some sleep first, and get enough energy, maybe we can find that one tonight..." The captain said vaguely, but he believed that both of his team members could understand what he meant.

　　 Judy drank the cold drink in his hand in twos and threes, and then took the form of a captain and began to close his eyes and rest. Only the man named Karen remained on alert with staring eyes. After all, for him, night is the most energetic time, and there is no need to cultivate energy during the day.

　　 In the afternoon, Abner followed Xiu to a bar called "Machinery and Agni" at the junction of the East District and the Factory District.

　　They didn't come here to meet the client, but to find a middleman named Williams.

　　Because it hasn't arrived at most factories and docks, there are not many people in the bar. At a glance, Xio saw the person she was looking for--a young man who was drunk.

　　 Abner also took a look and found that the man was in his twenties, his face was as thin as a horse, his eyebrows were messy and vicious, but his facial features were relatively soft.

　　 Xiu walked near the person, knocked **** the table in front of him, frowned and said:

"Williams, can't you give up drinking? Save money, marry a nice girl, come home with hot water, dishes and warm greetings every day, you can share with her all kinds of things you see, she Then tell you the trivial things that happened at home, and the cute children kiss your cheeks and play around you. Isn't this warmth good?"

　　 When she first came to Backlund, she was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Eastern District and relied on Williams for help. Therefore, she always hoped that the other party would have a better life.

"Warm?" Williams was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered after seeing it clearly. "That was based on the money I brought back. I've seen it through long ago. If I could take it home 20 times a week. Su Le, then I am sure that my family is warm, as you describe, but if it doesn't work, Lord, the screaming and insulting of women, the crying and screaming of children will drive me crazy!"

"My mother is a role model. Every time my old man goes home, he is accompanied by beatings, scolding and quarreling. In this case, I might as well use the sour and pennies in exchange for alcohol. No one cares how much I earn here. Everyone drinks and chats. , The atmosphere is very, very good, if you miss women, there are those lovely street girls outside, they won’t make a noise with you~lightnovelpub.net~ Xio pulled her mouth and said: "You are really a hopeless one. Believers in the Lord of the Storm of Medicine, you will one day die of alcohol and some strange diseases. "

　　 "At least I have enjoyed it." Williams replied indifferently, and then his gaze turned to Abner next to Xio, and asked suspiciously, "What is this person called?"

　　 "Ebner, a detective." Ebner nodded to him, and then said, "We are here to ask you to lead the way to meet the client."

"Abner? Oh, it's the kid who often eats breakfast with Hugh. I have heard of it." Williams was stunned, and then smiled playfully, "A detective, an arbiter, this The profession is a good match!"

　　 "Don't waste time, Williams." Hugh said as he took out the banknotes of 5 Sole and handed it to the other party, "This is the introduction fee for you, and it is also the money for wine."

"Hugh, are you so generous? Generally speaking, don't the referral fees come from the client?" Williams was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it. He took out the pen and paper from his pocket and quickly wrote an address and handed it to Hugh said, "This is the address of Kelly's house. She and her husband work night shifts. Generally, they don't start work until 8 o'clock in the evening. It's just right for you to go right now."

　　 Abner looked at his pocket watch. It was three o'clock, so he didn't continue to delay at Williams. After going out, he hurried to the address on the note.

　　 All the public carriages are afraid to enter the Eastern District because they are afraid of being robbed.

　　 When the two of them found the simple apartment rented by Kelly's family according to the address on the note, they found that a fight seemed to have just occurred here.

　　 Rolling baskets, broken pieces of clothing, and fresh blood stains on the wall all indicate that a group of uninvited guests have entered here.
