Chapter 039 mysterious letter
Dawn woke up the next morning to the sound of a knife and fork bowl. Strictly speaking, the sounds were not loud, but they were enough to wake him up.
Dawn was stupefied immediately. Why did the sound come from his own house? But in an instant it occurred to him that he was no longer alone in the house.
Dawn stretched himself and was about to get out of bed. Yeah? The nose twitched and suddenly an attractive smell of fried eggs came. He couldn't help but swallow. Then there was a moment of astonishment.
In this world, as long as Dawn is at home, his mother will fry two eggs for him every morning, saying it is a supplement. And Dawn was still in bed at that time. It has been a long time for him to smell fried eggs as soon as he gets up.
For a moment, Dawn shook his head, got dressed, and went down the stairs.
On the side of the hall is the kitchen. Lena, wearing a white apron, is skillfully putting the fried eggs on the plate. Then he briskly took out the long white bread from the closet and carefully cut it into slices. Finally, put two roasted meat slices on top.
But after a while, a standard western breakfast is done. It all seems so methodical.
Dawn was stunned at this time, and his cooking skills were needless to say. According to the old housekeeper, adding a few more seasonings would be as powerful as a powerful laxative. Lena, on the other hand, has lived independently since she was a child, and it is modest to say that practice makes perfect when it comes to cooking food.
"Why, you're up." The busy Lena saw Dawn standing by the corridor stunned and said, "I've made breakfast. Would you like to try it?"
"well, all right."
.
After enjoying this delicious breakfast, Dawn immediately gave up the power of the kitchen completely. Oh, my God, what I used to eat. It's human food!
"so I'm going to be here for a month, aren't I?" Lena brought a cup of after-dinner tea to Dawn and said.
"well, yes." When someone was placed under house arrest for a month for no reason, Dawn was very embarrassed and immediately said, "but don't worry, you will tell me the name of the treatment hall later, and I will explain that I will hire you to nurse me for a month."
"well, what am I going to do this month?" Lena didn't seem to care.
"well. What do you want to do most? "
"I want to see a doctor."
". Another one. " Dawn touched his nose. Isn't that a curse for me?
Looking at Lena thinking hard, Dawn said, "how about this? I'll buy some medical books. How about you take a look?"
"well, that's fine."
Dawn heaved a sigh of relief.
"by the way, I don't know your name yet." Lena blinked.
"."
Knock, knock! Without waiting for Dawn to answer, the door was knocked.
"Mr. Arthur, this is Alan speaking. I have brought you a newspaper."
…… Now there's no need for Dawn to answer. Lena also went back to her room cleverly at this time.
Dawn opened the door and saw Alan standing in front of the door with a large pile of newspapers in his hand.
"here, Mr. Arthur. These are all the newspapers about Scary Face in recent years. "
"Oh, thank you so much, Alan." Dawn gladly took over the newspapers, now worrying about how to start the search for Scary Face.
"it's nothing, it's easy. All right, I'll go first. "
"wait." Dawn hurriedly stopped Alan, who was about to leave.
Allen said in surprise, "is there anything else, Mr. Arthur?"
"well, Alan. I've been busy with trifles lately, so I'd like to hire you to do something. "
"hire? Uh. What is it? "
Dawn took out one gold coin and five silver coins and said, "use this gold coin to buy some medical books for me, and, uh, buy some potted plants." The other five silver coins is your reward for doing it. "
The purchasing power of gold coins in this world is amazing, of course, it is limited to ordinary things.
Allen looked at the coins and said hesitantly, "Mr. Arthur, do you believe me like that?" Aren't you afraid I'll run away with these coins? "
"well, of course, we're friends." Dawn said briskly. If you can't determine your character after such a long time of observation, wouldn't I be a failure as a killer?
Alan, of course, didn't know what Dawn had in mind, so he was very excited at this time: "Mr. Arthur, since we are friends." Then I won't take these five silver coins. "
Allen's reaction took Dawn by surprise. He knew that Allen was not rich, as can be seen from the faded clothes he wore. But it was such a poor boy who refused the reward of five silver coins because of his friends, which undoubtedly made Dawn appreciate it even more.
"Oh, Alan. Your dream is to be a big businessman. Since he is a businessman, he is talking about business. It is natural for you to collect money when you work for me. Well, or are you unwilling to help me? "
"of course not!" Alan said hurriedly.
"then take it!" Dawn said decisively.
Alan spread his hand and said, "all right, then." Mr. Arthur, don't worry. I'll take care of it as soon as possible. "
"good."
Alan was sent away, and Dawn put the newspapers on the table.
Of course, the whereabouts of Scary Face is not so easy to find. Dawn is just in the stage of data collection.
But he has an advantage that most people can't imagine, and that is the system. Clatter turned over the sound of the newspaper, but in a few minutes, all the newspapers were entered into the system.
Then Dawn went directly into the space and did not have to greet the old housekeeper and called out the information directly.
The time, frequency and object of each crime committed by Scary Face. One by one is displayed in a list.
After browsing up and down, Dawn sighed again and again. This colleague is worthy of the title of the first assassin in Laiyan City. Among his dozens of targets, there are aristocrats, warriors, gang leaders, and even a magician.
One of the most sensational assassinations of Scary Face was the assassination of the former owner of Laiyan City six years ago. That war made him thoroughly into everyone's line of sight, and he was recognized as the number one assassin in Laiyan City.
It is no small miracle that such a well-known assassin has not been arrested.
There is no doubt that it is easier to see the problem with intuitive data. Dawn then saw that Scary Face's recent assassination was abnormal.
First, the identity of the object, Scary Face before the target is not a big gang master, is a magician and so on, not to mention there is a city master. It can be said that Scary Face made a lot of money.
But his recent targets are some middle-level gang owners, quite a bit hungry.
The other is the number of shots. Scary Face has made few shots before, usually only once in a few months, and the highest frequency is only twice in a row.
But in less than two weeks, apart from Vincent, he has already shot four times.
This makes people wonder if there is anything wrong with it.
However, the information is still too scarce, Dawn can not find any common ground from these dates.
"it looks like I have to go to the police hall." Dawn muttered to himself.
If there is any one who knows the most about gangs in Laiyan City, it is undoubtedly the Guard Hall. If there is anyone in Laiyan City who knows most about Scary Face, it is undoubtedly Bowes. So the guard room is Dawn's must-see place.
But Dawn hasn't figured out a way to infiltrate the guard room yet. A sudden incident completely disrupted his original deployment.
At noon, just as Lena was preparing to make lunch. The door of the room was knocked again.
When Dawn went out, he saw Alan commanding several rickshaws and parked the flatcar full of books and potted plants in front of the door.
Allen's efficiency was undoubtedly amazing, but it took him half a day to deliver the things. And it really startled Dawn with such a large number.
"Mr. Arthur, the books in the bookstore are so valuable that they are not a good deal to buy. I knew a friend who printed books, so he took the liberty of buying his stock, which is no different from the new books on the market. And please don't mind. "
"er. Alan, I am sure now that you will be a successful businessman. " Dawn, of course, would not blame Alan for his arbitrariness, and if he had been allowed to buy it, the number of books would have been far less than half of what he had been in front of him.
", thank you, Mr. Arthur." Alan said happily, "shall we move it in now?"
"well, push the car to the back. I'll open the back door and push it straight in."
"all right!"
After a while, stacks of books and a dozen potted plants filled Dawn's small backyard.
"well, Mr. Arthur, then I'll say good-bye. Oh, by the way, someone just asked me to deliver a letter to you on the street corner. "
"letter? For me? " Oh, Dawn was taken aback. His social circle is very narrow, and the people he knows with Dawn's face come here by the count of one hand. The only ones familiar with are Alan, Lena and Joshua! And Joshua doesn't know the address here.
"well, he said he was your friend. No, this is it. " Alan handed over a white envelope.
Dawn looked at the envelope and took it. "what kind of person do you remember?"
Alan frowned and thought, "it's a. Well, a very ordinary middle-aged man. Why, is there something wrong? "
Dawn played with the envelope for a while, scratched his fingernails, carefully pulled out a blank piece of paper and looked at it. His pupils contracted sharply and his hand shook.
"Oh, nothing. He is a friend who has not been in touch for a long time. "
