They all call me master

Who wants James dead?

a lot of.

Although others couldn't be sure, Maltz knew that he wanted James dead.

His partners also want Jaime dead.

The old sheriff pulled off the napkin from his collar. When he looked at his partner, Arthur had already begun to wipe the grease and sauce from his palms.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and made eye contact——

Since you have chosen to disappear, then disappear completely!

About three minutes later, the special carriage of the Charles District Police Department drove out of the small square and went straight to Moon Street.

Although James is the police chief of the Duo District, Moon Street is in the Shire District.

If something happens on Moon Street, the Shire District Police Station will naturally be able to take care of it.

Unlike other middle-class neighborhoods, Moon Street is not high in the ranking of real estate favored by the middle class in the Shire District. It can even be said to be at the bottom.

It’s not that Moon Street is bad.

On the contrary, the environment here is beautiful, the security is good, and the house area is large enough, making it extremely spacious to live in.

But it is precisely because the houses here are large enough that many middle-class people are discouraged.

The unit price is the same, but the increase in area is unbearable for the middle class who are treading on thin ice.

As for the rich?

Although the residential area on Moon Street is almost as big as the villas in White Bird Street, the real rich will still choose White Bird Street.

Even if someone boasts that this was originally the real White Bird Street, but for some unknown reason, it became Moon Street.

Moon Street will always be Moon Street.

There is an unbridgeable gap between it and White Bird Street.

As soon as Arthur and Maltz jumped out of the carriage, the four gagged and tightly tied James men began to struggle.

Simon stepped forward and kicked each one, and immediately, these people became honest.

Arthur and Maltz naturally ignored these guys - what good could a person who could become James' confidant have?

It’s not bias!

But when Sheriff James chose his confidants, the first thing he looked for was his gang background.

In South Los Angeles, bullying and no bottom line are almost the labels given to gangs by civilians.

That's right!

Just civilians!

Some civilian families who were originally in danger became ruined because of these guys. Especially some wealthy civilians or civilian families with beautiful wives and daughters at home are the targets that these guys want to see the most. These guys have too many There are so many ways to get everything you want.

Including but not limited to drugs and gambling.

But just civilians.

These guys wouldn't dare to touch anyone with a little bit of power.

As for the real rich and nobles?

When these guys talk, it goes 'woof, woof, woof'.

Arthur and Maltz walked straight into No. 4 Moon Street.

Then they both frowned.

It’s so dazzling!

The entire room is mainly decorated with gold. Under the sunlight, the golden reflection makes anyone who walks into the room feel dazzling.

"hiss!"

"How much money did this guy make?"

Even Maltz couldn't help but gasp at this moment, especially when he found a peacock ornament made entirely of pure gold and inlaid with gems on the fireplace. He couldn't help but sigh. .

The body of the peacock in front of me is made of pure gold, but each tail fin that opens its tail is inlaid with a gemstone.

The colors are different, but they are not out of place when placed together. On the contrary, when the sun shines, these gems immediately emit different colors of brilliance, and they actually echo each other.

‘I’m afraid this golden peacock can be exchanged for two three-masted sailing ships! ’

Arthur commented secretly.

Not only the gold and gems themselves, but also the person who made the peacock is probably a master. With the help of each other, the price is self-evident.

However, Arthur frowned secretly.

Wouldn't a runaway take something of this level with him?

Is there something more valuable?

impossible!

Even if James is the Sheriff of the Duo District, it's impossible!

In fact, this golden peacock is most of the other party's net worth.

Moreover, this golden peacock was placed directly in the most conspicuous place, full of a sense of showing off, which also illustrates the value of this thing.

besides……

The surroundings are too clean and tidy.

It's hard to keep a house clean and tidy with a guy on the run taking away valuables.

People who are in a hurry to run away can't clean their home before leaving, right?

Therefore, James should not be running away!

Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and followed Maltz towards the second floor.

"Sheriff, counselor!"

The patrolman guarding inside immediately saluted.

"Where are the people?"

Maltz asked directly.

"In the room!"

The patrolman pointed to the room next to him - the door was not closed, but open. From this angle, he could clearly see the woman sitting there.

She has long brown hair, delicate facial features, and big eyes full of timidity. It only takes one glance to make men feel pity.

When Arthur and Maltz glanced over, the lady immediately folded her arms, half curled up, and shrank back.

The other party is James' lover, Jane.

"Ms. Jane, there is no need to panic, we will only ask a few questions."

Maltz comforted the other person.

Arthur took a step behind, staring at the other person.

The young 'psychic medium' was sure that the other party was not acting, but was really scared.

"Ms. Jane, do you know how long ago James disappeared?"

"I don't know. James disappeared after I woke up in the morning."

"Then what did James say to you before going to bed last night?"

"Say, he said he was in a little trouble."

"anything else?"

"No, James has a bad temper. I don't dare to ask any more questions."

When asked and answered, the lady answered truthfully without any trace of acting.

But Maltz always felt something was wrong.

But what was wrong, the old sheriff couldn't put his finger on.

Subconsciously, the old police chief looked at his partner.

When he saw the indifference on Arthur's face and the smile on his lips, the old police chief immediately felt certain.

"Ms. Jane, according to the procedure, we need to search the house."

"Can."

James' lover nodded immediately.

It seems that I can't wait a little bit.

And this look confirmed some of Arthur's guesses.

The search began, but Arthur did not participate. Instead, he looked at the two mice running past in the lawn downstairs, shook his head and said.

It is obvious that after the "vast land and sparsely populated areas", some small animals reproduced rapidly.

"Ms. Jane, you who live on Moon Street should prepare some rat poison."

"Okay, I've prepared the rat poison. I'll spray it in a moment."

Facing Arthur's reminder, the lady nodded repeatedly and pointed to the chest of drawers beside her.

"Yes, it is like that."

"People must rely on themselves!"

Arthur smiled and nodded.

After that, there was no communication until the search was over.

The search was fruitless, although some crossbows and fire guns were found, but these were normal for James' residence.

To put it simply, everything is normal at No. 4 Moon Street.

After the patrol officer completed the registration, Arthur, Maltz and his party were about to leave No. 4 Moon Street, when Arthur suddenly stopped.

He looked at James' lover and said softly.

"Ms. Jane, rat poison needs to be sprinkled as soon as possible, otherwise the place will be infested with rats. Don't hesitate any longer, let alone expect others - people must rely on themselves."

After saying that, Arthur left quickly.

Also leaving were James' confidants.

However, when leaving, these guys all looked at No. 4 Moon Street - as James' confidants, they knew how valuable the things inside were.

But they also know that they cannot take action immediately.

Have to wait a little longer.

after?

Hey!

Everyone left, but James's lover, the lady named Jane, looked increasingly nervous and frightened.

The woman fell to her knees and whispered a prayer.

Time passes minute by minute.

When the sun sets in the west, suddenly——

Squeak!

The bedroom patio door was pushed open.

Suddenly, despair appeared on Jane's face, which had been praying.

she knows.

He is back.

She couldn't escape.

She will die like everyone else.

But she...

Don't want to die!

Like a walking zombie, Jane served the man changing clothes, handed him tea, and listened to the man's sneer as usual.

"Hey, is this the famous 'psychic medium'?

That's all, I...uh! "

Before he finished speaking, the man, who was paralyzed and had difficulty breathing, fell to the ground.

At the last moment, he saw the woman slowly walking towards him with a long and narrow kitchen knife in her hand, still muttering to herself——

"People must rely on themselves!"
