Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Charlie is a natural optimist. Under his leadership, the tense atmosphere was swept away. Thomas, who fell into self-doubt, drank a drink to suppress his shock and continued to share the latest news.

"Major General Gordon is currently unemployed at home. The military claims that it is a vacation, but in fact it is dismissed."

No wonder he has time to hold a banquet... Joyce complained in his heart, and at the same time he keenly connected William's sacrifice with Gordon's dismissal. Based on his previous experience of reading history, this situation is probably caused by the faction of the military faction. The result of a lost struggle.

So he directly asked:

"Why?"

"Not sure." Thomas shook his head and said in an erratic tone:

"There are rumors that it may be related to the recent resurgence of disappearances."

"Hey!" Charlie sneered, "When did human trafficking disappear?"

Thomas did not refute the words, but added:

"The scale of this discovery is astonishing. Reports show that, including several small tribes in the southern continent, all the residents of the unnamed island in the waters near Rorsted disappeared mysteriously, leaving no clues."

"According to you, it doesn't look like something that ordinary people can do, at least General Gordon can't do it?"

Charlie's father was a major general before he retired, so he was well aware of the major general's rights and power, and it was impossible to hide such a big thing from MI9.

That's because there is a high level of power to cover it up. Our Majesty the King should have discovered the tomb of the "Dark Emperor" and started abducting and selling people to repair the cemetery... Joyce immediately thought of the last layer, and he raised his voice slightly and said:

"With General Gordon's character, he would never be involved in such a thing."

Thomas took a deep look at him, then explained:

"So it's just speculation. There may be other reasons for Major General Gordon's dismissal."

"Okay, let's talk about something interesting..."

After that, Thomas didn't reveal any valuable news, and the topic between them slowly shifted to gossip and women.

…………

Chatting and farting with good friends, time will pass quickly.

After the three said goodbye, Thomas did not go back to his residence directly, but ordered the coachman to change direction halfway and went to his usual work place.

Showing his credentials to the heavily armed guards, he entered the heavily guarded building that was the headquarters of MI9 in Rorsted Islands.

Because it was the weekend, there were not many staff members, and only the power to maintain basic operations remained on the surface. Thomas greeted his familiar colleagues, turned around in the building, and came to the door of his immediate superior with ease. .

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Sir, I'm back." Thomas closed the door and said at attention.

The "sir" writing at the desk is a man in his thirties. He raised his head, revealing a weather-beaten face with a hideous scar near his left eye. His voice was heavy and powerful:

"Meet Joyce Best."

"Yes, sir." Thomas reported directly: "I used the dismissal of Major General Gordon to lead to the missing persons case. His behavior is normal and he should know nothing about it."

"Don't jump to conclusions, what if he is faking it?" The scar-faced officer sat upright on the chair and said slowly.

Thomas wanted to argue that he knew Joyce so well that it was hard for him to fool himself, but he didn't say it, just kept silent.

"I remember that Joyce once asked you how to obtain extraordinary power. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, sir, according to your instructions, I gave him the contact information of a military informant."

"Has he become a Extraordinary as he wished?"

Thinking of the shock that Joyce brought to him this morning, Thomas thought for a moment and replied:

"Judging from the information sent back by the informant, he is still just an ordinary person."

"A person who started chasing extraordinary power after his father died, how could there be no reason?"

"First help Joyce become an Extraordinary, I believe he will lead us to find the truth."

The scar-faced officer pulled out an ugly smile:

"When this task is completed, your contribution will be almost enough to make you a Sequence Seven'Interrogator'."

"Go ahead and don't disappoint me."

"Yes, sir." Thomas stood to attention and saluted.

…………

Joyce didn't know the undercurrent hidden behind it, he just made the same choice as Thomas, instead of going home, he drove to Oak Bar.

Different from the youthfulness when he came last time, he ordered a cup of vados that tasted good, and knocked on the door of chess and card.

Sure enough, "Balance" was playing cards, but the opponents had changed.

This is to squeeze out all the money from those guys last time? Joyce raised his wine glass to signal, "Tianping" smiled at him, handed the cards in his hand to his subordinates, and walked to the room where the two were discussing the commission without saying a word.

"Is there any result to my entrustment?"

Joyce put down his wine glass, looked at the confident "Scale" and asked.

"Tian Ping" took out a stack of documents from the cabinet behind him and put them on the table, raised his legs and said:

"This guy is quite cautious, and has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. My people took a lot of twists and turns to get this information."

No matter how I say it, I won't add more money... Joyce cursed in his heart, opened the file and began to quickly check.

It turned out that "Locke" was just a pseudonym, and "Crow" was his real name used in his pirate career.

As a pirate, Crowe's bounty is only 1,200 pounds, which is the favorite type of adventurer and navy. He is not very powerful, but the bounty is also considerable.

A pirate of his level either joins a large pirate group or is turned into a bounty, but Crowe is different. He can always avoid danger and find merchant ships that are not strong enough to defend and earn a lot of money. "Practice" has never encountered a major crisis in the past ten years.

Because of this, he has a nickname called "Lucky Crowe", but according to people familiar with the matter, Crowe himself prefers to be called "Wise Trick".

"Smart plan Crowe".

After the story of "Lucky Crowe" spread, more and more people hunted him down as a treasure, but Crowe retired directly and disappeared without a trace, not even his crew.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Emperor Roselle said: Anyone who walks through will leave traces.

Crowe has a fatal eccentricity, he likes girls and...boys, which has reached a pathological level, which made him successfully exposed his whereabouts.

Finally, the document marked Crowe's current address: 52 Pulitzer Street.

This investigation report...is too detailed, as if someone pressed Crowe's head and forced him to write it down...Joyce looked up at the confident "balance", thinking: he doesn't It must have been information from the Navy.

"Very good, I am very satisfied."

Joyce pulled out 80 pounds of cash and pushed it to "Scale", picked up the investigation report and planned to get up and leave, but was stopped by the latter.

"Mr. Baron, wait."

"Is there anything else?"

"Tian Ping" slowly picked up the golden list exuding an alluring smell, and reminded:

"That Crow's bounty has not been revoked. If you need a channel to collect the bounty on your behalf, we can give you a discount based on our relationship."

How did he know I was going to kill Crowe? No, it should be said that if it were not for the hostile relationship, no one would spend so much money to investigate a same-sex... In addition, "Tian Ping" is an informant of the military, and may not abide by industry rules to keep secrets for the client... Joyce suddenly Wake up, and after a quick brainstorm, he said:

"I am also entrusted by others. If there is a need, I will come to you."

"Waiting for you."

"Tian Ping" did not stop him this time, but watched Joyce leave with squinted eyes.

…………

As for Charlie the "pharmacist" among the three brothers, he took a nap after returning home.
