The Etiquette of the Soldiers is To Meet Up

Chapter 256: Location (four thousand)

"You know why we are looking for you."

In a dark and damp cell, Alan and Leonard stood opposite Cromwell Gary.

There was silence and no response.

The tall and burly figure still bowed his head, and his aquamarine eyes stared at the rough and uneven ground, as if there was something strange.

When Allen saw this, he didn't feel annoyed, but squatted down and stared at the fluffy hair. "It's uncomfortable to stay here, right?"

"There is no wine, no food, no beauty, and more importantly, no freedom."

The plain tone tells the truth that couldn't be more true, but it contains enough power to move people's hearts.

Leonard stood aside and did not speak.

Tick, tick...

The water droplets tapped, as if every drop fell on my heart, rippling layers of ripples.

As time went by, Allen seemed to lose patience, stood up with a smile, and said to Leonard beside him, "It seems that the other party doesn't want to talk to us."

"Then let's go." Leonard also simply went back directly.

Having said that, the two turned around and left, seemingly indifferent to Cromwell's reaction.

Da da da……

The sound of the fortified tactical boots colliding with the ground is insignificant, but it strikes Cromwell's heart like a heavy hammer.

The drooping head was covered by loose long hair, and the changes in his face could not be seen clearly.

However, under the filthy and disgusting clumped hair, a pair of emerald green eyes are flickering.

"Wait..."

A hoarse and dry voice with a few hard voices rang in this not big prison, causing Allen and the two to stop.

"Why, do you want to talk?"

Allen turned around, with a very humble smile on his face, but his eyes were only calm like a pool of water.

"How can I trust you?"

Cromwell seems to have done a good job of psychological construction, and raised a very direct question from the beginning.

"Sorry, maybe you have misunderstood something. You have never been qualified to negotiate terms with us."

However, Allen didn't have the answer that the other party wanted everywhere.

When Cromwell heard this, his pupils shrank, but he did not immediately object.

"Although you came in for refuge, your foundation is not clean. We will not, and it is impossible to let you out directly for this news."

Cromwell did not refute, but listened silently.

"What we can guarantee is to give you a chance to stand up to your sins and make meritorious deeds."

"You know, although you stir up the wind and rain in Dongcheng District, you are not too outrageous."

"Moreover, the reason you were arrested was carefully selected. It only takes a year and a half to get out."

"If you honestly cooperate with us and make meritorious deeds, your time to go out will also be greatly advanced."

"How about, think about it?"

Allen slowly analyzed the truth to Cromwell, and it didn't seem to be urgent or needed.

"Good."

After a few breaths of silence, Cromwell only responded in a low voice.

"What do you want to know?"

Knowing that the other party had decided to cooperate, Allen also smiled.

However, the smile at this time was just as hypocritical as before, a little bit warmer.

"We want to know, why did you come in on the initiative?"

Without much preparation, Allen went straight to the core of the problem.

The two strange green eyes like phosphorous fire glanced at them calmly, with a little suspicious expression in their eyes.

"You don't know?"

Cromwell asked in a erratic tone, with some inexplicable meaning.

However, he did not question the strength of the opponent.

To be honest, when he saw that the other party was led in by Deputy Director Jody, he could roughly guess the identity of the other party, and believed that the other party did have the strength to get him out of prison.

Therefore, he will not question the other party after agreeing to it, this kind of stupid thing is not something ordinary people can do.

"Should we know?"

The other party didn't directly say, Allen also laughed and started Tai Chi.

It's just that Alan looked at the other person's veiled look at the two of them, and seemed to understand something.

"You mean, the other person is the same person as us?"

Allen's brows were frowned for a moment, and then they calmed down.

This is not unpredictable. It can even be said that Allen and the others noticed each other because of this possibility.

However, Allen chose to talk to the other party simply because there may be extraordinary factors behind the other party.

Because Allen and the others currently have no effective clues, they have to seize every possible opportunity.

But now it seems that the story behind this is not simple.

"Yeah." Cromwell didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid anymore, stroked the tight hair with his cuffed hands, and replied thoughtfully: "It's actually very simple."

"On the evening of October 19th in the dawn calendar, a guy with a mask and concealed identity wanted to take a house from me."

"You also know that although we are not good people, we are not just people who only know how to fight and kill. We also have some side jobs on weekdays."

"Some people are brokers, some are pimps, some are spending the golden cave...there are many ways to use it."

"My power and mind are not as good as the other party, so I can only pick up other people's leftovers on weekdays."

"Although real estate sales are less expensive than other industries, it is enough for me."

"So, that day, I didn't have any bad thoughts. I sent someone to lead the other person to see the house."

"Everything went well after that. The other party looked at the house honestly, paid, and the transaction was completed."

Alan and Leonard stood there and listened carefully. They knew that Cromwell must have not finished speaking.

After all, if nothing happened, why did the other party come here to take refuge.

"Then something happened."

"The day after the transaction was completed, some of my buddies died at home, and the people living around them did not hear the slightest movement."

"Because of my habit of being cautious, my place of residence on weekdays is extremely confidential, so I escaped."

"However, the disaster has not stayed away."

"The people under me died one after another, and there was no resistance. The other party's methods were overwhelming, just like a ghost coming out of the dark."

"Then, I'm scared."

"Although I don't know who is targeting us, but I can be sure that it must not be ordinary people."

Speaking of this, Cromwell raised his head, and his skinny face, which had become thinner because of his long time in the dark prison, was unabashedly revealed in Allen's eyes.

"I don't know anything about that extraordinary power, but I don't really understand it either."

"So, when I realized that I had provoke that kind of big man, I knew that I was in an extremely difficult situation."

"In order to survive, I planned a direct conflict with other gangsters, and I was still in front of two police officers."

"Then I came in here."

Cromwell's experience is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.

However, according to the other party, the implications of this are a bit interesting.

"You started from that house viewing incident, so do you feel that you have suffered from these scourges because of that transaction?"

Allen thought for a while, then pointed out what the other party wanted to express.

"Yes." Cromwell was also unambiguous and nodded directly.

"I want to know, why did you get this evidence?"

Alan looked inconvenient and looked straight into Cromwell's eyes, with a sense of oppressiveness.

The coercion from the higher-order life forms made Cromwell a little unbearable, and the pale skin that had not been moisturized by the sun for a long time became paler at this time.

But Cromwell is no ordinary person after all, and he barely managed to withstand the heavy pressure, "I am not a good person, but I am not a villain when I ask myself."

"I admit that the things I did at the time violated the laws of the empire, but I have my own bottom line."

"My enemy is just the hyena that fell into the darkness with me, not the innocent people."

Cromwell's face faintly twitched, as if there was a great deal of pressure, but he still spoke clearly about his reasons.

Hearing this, Allen seemed to nod in agreement.

It cannot be said that there is a way to steal, after all, their behavior is really not justice.

However, because Austin and Bol are indeed big giants in the shadow of Gloria City, there are rules that can be made to some extent.

After all, the identities of Austin and Bol are not pure black market businessmen, they also have the background of the executive department.

Therefore, they are not like other people in the East District of Gloria City, who only have interests in their eyes, and they have more far-reaching pursuits.

For example, formulating a rule that is more in line with the interests of the city of Griya.

Although it is impossible to really tame these unruly wolves, it is also possible to limit their destructive power to a certain level to ensure the wishes of citizens who desire stability.

This is not only for the citizens, but also for the guys who are scheming in the dark.

Therefore, after discovering that Austin's initiative can greatly avoid the risk of them being targeted, several bigwigs in the East District of Gloria City also tacitly began to preach this.

As a result, the atmosphere in the Dongcheng District of Gloria City has improved a lot.

This is why Cromwell said so. He is the obeyer and beneficiary of this set of rules.

After all, to be honest, if he hadn't taken the initiative to run in front of the opponent to fight, it is estimated that he would not be locked in yet.

One is that he has clean hands and feet, and he has done a lot of things without leaving enough evidence. The second is that he has a bottom line and did not hit the muzzle. Third, there is someone behind him.

But these things don't seem to work well when faced with an unreasonable transcendent.

Allen thought about the reason, and Cromwell continued to tell.

"Although we are hostile to each other, we also understand each other."

"I know, they can't have such a big face, please use that kind of big shot."

"Even the people behind them are unlikely to have such a big hand."

"More importantly, although there is an argument between us, it doesn't reach that level."

"So, after excluding all possible options, the remaining one is true, even if it is no longer possible."

Cromwell gave a solemn summary, and the light in the aquamarine eyes dimmed a little, as if lamenting his innocent disaster.

"Where is the address of the house you sold?"

Allen didn't comfort the other person or anything, went straight to the subject and asked about the most important things.

"The junction of the east and west districts of Gloria City, 26 Sustin Street."

Cromwell also knew that people like Allen couldn't be a little curious about his experience, and he consciously restrained his emotions, and replied seriously.

"Good."

Allen thought about it for a while, as if there were no more questions to ask, he turned to look at Leonard.

Leonard looked at Cromwell with eyes dotted with dark circles.

Cromwell was numb by the scalp that was looking at him, and he was a little surprised.

"How did that thing in your body come from?"

Leonard spoke suddenly, his tone low, with obvious pressure.

Cromwell's face changed, his face was terrified to the extreme, as if the secret in his heart had been revealed.

"I'm not sure whether your acting style is cautious or not, but I guess you won't deceive us on such small things."

"Then the question is, how did you, an ordinary person, survive the hunt for transcendents and find a chance to put yourself in jail?"

Leonard hugged his chest with his left hand, and squeezed his chin with his right hand, making a look of contemplation, but his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to break all the disguise.

Allen also turned his head curiously, and continued to look at each other.

It was not that he hadn't noticed this, but felt it was unnecessary.

Before, he discovered the abnormality in the opponent's body earlier than Leonard.

There is a magic tool in the opponent's body that acts as a disguise, not simply hiding, but disguising the opponent as the user wants.

When Cromwell wants to hide himself, that thing can reduce the opponent’s breath and sense of presence~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, if the opponent wants to behave like a lunatic, then the magic tool will also release madness. To conceal the aura of the other party.

It can be said that this is an excellent thing.

Apart from the inability to achieve true invisibility, there are no shortcomings.

If it is in the hands of a pedestrian, it is infinitely useful.

However, looking at Cromwell's appearance, it is estimated that it is not a secret cast.

After all, the other party also escaped with this thing.

The reason why Allen was not interested was that the thing was almost integrated with Cromwell's breath of life in his perception.

Looks like that, it's definitely not something that can be done in one or two years.

Such a long time span left Alan with almost no desire to understand.

But now that Leonard has asked a question, he also wants to keep listening.

The silent atmosphere spread in the small prison, gradually freezing the atmosphere that was still harmonious.

"Sorry." Cromwell gave this answer unexpectedly, without explaining too much.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the corner, as if he didn't care whether he would offend the two of them.

Such performance made Leonard and Allen a little curious.

However, they did not mean to explore. Everyone has a past that they don’t want to mention. This is normal.

The most important thing now is to rush to the newly acquired location immediately to see if there are unexpected gains.

The previous question was just a whim by Leonard, and since the other party didn't want to say it, they wouldn't force it.

Anyway, they are not the kind of brutal and unreasonable violent law enforcement officers, and they will not treat the other party just because of this little bit of disobedience.
