Lord Hunter needs a commission

"Almost." Edmond sat down on the chair, crossed his hands, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and looked gloomy. "They said that the box was key evidence, that I had illegally taken key clues from the police, and asked me to hand them over within a time limit, otherwise they would have to formally apply for an arrest warrant on the grounds of obstructing the police's handling of the case."

"Ultimatum... Then I'm really unlucky." Charlotte felt that her luck was very bad. It was obviously just an ordinary entrusted job. It was just a business trip, but she was involved in some dangerous incident. .

"Give it to them."

"Wait, what did you say, Charlotte?"

"I said, hand over the box." Facing Edmund's disbelieving gaze, Charlotte shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's just a way of expressing one's stance if the goods in that box don't If they get it, then they won't follow the rules."

"But." Edmund said unwillingly, "That's it? Damn, this is too useless." He said, and looked at Charlotte, "Don't you think it's irritating to be threatened like this?"

"No, not at all." Charlotte replied, "Anyway, I'm also a scavenger by profession, so I don't have any honor to speak of... What's more, if they can play tricks like this, then it's not too much for me to play tricks too." gone."

"you mean?"

The silver hair shimmered in the sunlight, and the corner of Charlotte's mouth was raised, revealing a faint smile. "I'm a hunter," he said. "It's only natural to use bait to catch prey."

……

It's approaching dusk.

A carriage belonging to the police station drove to the gate of the manor of the Count of Monte Cristo. From the car, Chief Fernand strode into the manor with two attendants. Not long after, Fernand Then he came out again with a wooden box.

From the proud and happy expression on his face, one can tell how happy he is at the moment.

Indeed, for Fernand, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing Edmond's gloomy face, especially before Edmond made him lose face in front of his subordinates, but now Edmond His loss is much more than his loss of face.

Then, the box and the goods in the box were also in their hands intact. Recalling Edmond's displeasure and embarrassment, Fernan decided to have a cup of celebration after returning to his office in the police station.

Humming a ditty, Fernan walked out of the gate of the manor with a happy mood, stepped into the car door opened by his hand, and sat in the carriage.

The carriage started to move, heading towards the police station.

But at this moment, Charlotte walked out from the back door of the manor without the eyes of the people noticing it, and in a few strides with incomparable dexterity, she climbed up the side of the house and came straight to the brick-and-tile building. above the roof.

Charlotte stood up straight, looking at the carriage turning at the end of the street at the end of her vision, stepped on the bricks and tiles, and chased the road along the roof silently.

Chapter 29 Infiltrate

As the sun sets, the light of dusk infects the clouds in the sky.

And the day in Novigrad City also began to turn to the last night. The shops on the street were closed one after another, and pedestrians also left. It didn't take long for the entire street to become silent.

At night, there are many wild dogs in the city. All gangs and gangsters entrenched in the city will haunt the darkness.If it is a city during the daytime, at least there is still a certain order to speak of, then at night, the last trace of order will also disappear.

As long as no one caused a large-scale riot, and was not crazy enough to smash, loot and burn, then almost everything gangsters did at night was allowed.So here, there are many armed fights in the middle of the night, and ordinary citizens can only close the doors and windows to avoid getting involved in the fighting.

But even the gangsters who are fighting with weapons and fighting with each other are very clear that they don't completely belong to their world at night.Sometimes, the horse-drawn carriages that pass by on the street are probably big figures they can't mess with. In fact, more than 90.00% of the administrative staff in the city are they can't mess with.

For example, the police carriage.

Although steam cars have appeared now, for this city, horse-drawn carriages, a tool that represented identity and status in the past, are still widely used.

Basically, decent people in cities use horse-drawn carriages instead of steam cars.

So when I saw a carriage gradually shrouded in the night, it was still swaggering past. Some gangsters who saw this scene didn't have any thoughts, and let the two carriages pass by.

This is the carriage of the police station, and in the entire police station, only Fernan, who is the police chief, travels in a carriage.

It's just that these people didn't see that at the same time as the carriage was driving through the street, a figure on the roof of the house on the side also ran towards it.

Stepping on the bricks on the roof, Charlotte was doing parkour on the roof very smoothly, occasionally jumping over the gap between the houses and falling to the other side.

But no matter what, his footsteps were very light. If you didn't listen to them in detail, you wouldn't be able to hear that Charlotte was chasing a fast-moving carriage.

Soon, in fact, when the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the speed of the carriage driving on the street slowed down—it had arrived at its destination.

The police station in Novigrad is made up of several five-story houses, but looking at the security situation in the city, you can tell that most of the police stations are used as decorations in the city.

After the carriage slowed down, it slowly drove into the police station and stopped at the gate.Similarly, Charlotte also stopped in her tracks, stood on a high point far away and looked over, and saw very clearly that after the carriage door opened, Fairfort, who came down with the box in his arms, walked straight into the police station.

"So it's really better to have a stupid opponent than a smart teammate."

Laughing softly, Charlotte then walked to the edge of the roof, stepped on the air and fell straight down.On the way down, Charlotte's body floated down gently, as if releasing the slow falling spell. Of course, this is not the slow falling spell. Except for the magic seal, he himself will not release any spells, even if it is zero. The same cannot be said for super tricks.

This is an additional state of legendary swordsmanship. Well, according to the demigod who taught him swordsmanship, this specialty is called light movement (lightness work). If the individual is strong enough, he can also use this specialty to walk through the air, and At the level of a demigod, it is even possible to span a hundred miles across space in an instant.

But Charlotte can't walk on air, but can walk on water.

After falling on the street, Charlotte flashed directly into the shadows, relying on the shelter of the shadows to sneak towards the police station.

Although there were people on duty at the entrance of the police station, it was obvious that they were not up to the task, and their minds were not on their posts at all. One was smoking with his head down, and the other was simply looking around and cursing something.

So when they didn't realize it, Charlotte used the shadow to hide her figure, walked over, jumped up in one step, and quietly climbed over the wall outside the police station and fell inside.

"Sneak in~!" Charlotte, who climbed over the wall, scratched her neck. "I don't seem to have received training in sneaking... Forget it, as long as I don't get seen."

------------Dividing line------------

A figure was walking in the police station, through the empty lobby, he met a man in police uniform around the corner.

"Huh?" The police officer who came out from the corner was stunned when he saw the man in front of him. "You are?" He had never seen the person in front of him, not to mention that he was wearing a black cloak and looked sneaky, so he wanted to ask.

however--

——Pfft~!

Without any prelude, when the police officer just opened his mouth, the man wearing a black cloak who hid his face instantly stretched out his hand from the cloak, and a dagger was stretched out extremely quickly, stabbing into the police officer's chest. Throat.

"It's so ugly, I can't bear it!" After killing this person, he made a low voice. "But until the work is perfect, I need to, wait."

As he said that, the man took a step forward, stepped over the corpse on the ground, and walked towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

All the way to the top floor, wearing a black cloak, he walked through the corridor on the top floor like a ghost, and came to a half-covered office.

"Ahem, Mr. Fernan, are you there? I'm here to pick up the 'goods'."

"Please come in, Your Excellency." Fernan came out of the office with a surprised tone, and then the door was opened, revealing Fernan's body and face that were a little fatter.

The chief of police nodded and bowed his head, and did not ask the identity of the person who covered his face, and just invited him into his office with great respect.

"Your Excellency, come, please sit down."

"No, what do I want?" The cloaked He directly rejected Fernan. "My 'employer' is getting impatient with this."

"Okay, okay." Fernan smiled respectfully, hurried to the desk, picked up the box on it, returned it to Him, and handed it over. "This is it."

He reached out and took the box without opening it. After weighing it, he found that the box was not heavy, so he nodded his head. "You've done a good job, and the 'Employer' asked me to tell you..."

"Huh? Is there anything else I can do for you?" Fernand asked cautiously. Then, he saw Him raise his head, revealing the face that had been hidden under the hood of the cloak.

It was a white mask.

The gloomy fear locked onto Fernan, making his face pale in an instant.

"Wait, wait a minute." He wanted to yell, but in exchange the trigger of the pistol pressed against his forehead was pulled.

bump.

"I serve a picky client...so, sorry."

He put the pistol back under the cloak, held the box in one hand, closed the door behind his back, then threw something in front of the door, then turned around and walked to the window in the office, pushed it open and jumped out.

Chapter 30

The process of sneaking in was very smooth, and Charlotte was no fool to go in openly at the front door. After climbing over the outer wall of the police station, he found a nearby window on the first floor, opened the window and jumped in.

Before he came, he had learned from Edmond that Fernan's office was located at the end of the corridor on the top floor of the leftmost building of the police station, and it was not difficult to find.

The only thing to do now is to go to the fifth floor of the building on the left, find Police Chief Fernan and have a good chat with him.As for how to talk?I believe that when he put a pistol on his forehead, the police chief will obediently say what Charlotte wants to know, after all, he doesn't look like that kind of diehard.

Along the way, Charlotte basically didn't encounter much trouble, at most, she only met some police officers passing by on patrol.

It was already dark outside, and most of the police officers probably left. According to what Charlotte learned about the quality of the law enforcement officers in Novigrad, those who stayed on duty and patrolled could be regarded as very responsible.

For these responsible police officers, Charlotte can't do the unparalleled stealth technique of going up with a knife, white knife in and red knife out, he just relies on faster skills to knock out all the policemen he encounters, Then throw it into the corner of the corridor.

As for whether this will be discovered... It is estimated that there cannot be too many such responsible police officers, and I put nearly ten of them in the short distance, so the possibility of being exposed is almost zero.

With this in mind, Charlotte walked through the corridor and was about to reach the stairs of the leftmost building...

touch~!

A voice echoed in the silent floor.

Gunshots.

Charlotte, who instantly figured out what the voice was, immediately rushed to the stairs, then ran up the stairs to the fifth floor, and ran from the first floor to the fifth floor in a few strokes.

Standing in another section of the corridor, Charlotte happened to see a door at the end of the corridor being closed from the inside.

Without hesitation, Charlotte ran over, tilted her shoulders forward and knocked open the closed door.

With a bang, Charlotte slammed the closed door open, and saw the open window in the house price, and Fernan lying on the ground with his head blown out.

Not long ago, when he saw him in the manor, Fernan still looked proud, but he didn't expect that when he saw the police chief again a few minutes later, he only saw a dead body.

Someone killed him.

Charlotte was stunned.

Blood was flowing, reflected under the fallen corpse, and he was killed by one blow. The wound was on his forehead, and a big hole was opened in Fernan's brain. He really lost his mind at this moment.

The assailant apparently jumped out of the window, and the gunshot was enough to attract the people in the police station. Unfortunately, Charlotte happened to be standing here, and it would be difficult to get rid of the suspicion once he was discovered.

"Damn."

Charlotte gritted her teeth, and planned to run to the window to catch up, but at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

crunch.

The invisible force field spread out, making Charlotte's body stop for a while, and the surrounding air became thick, making it difficult for him to move.

As soon as her face changed, Charlotte looked down at her feet. Just at the corner of the door, a metal flower was in full bloom. On the gray petals, purple-red phosphorescence shone disturbingly.

The invisible force field that makes people stop venting comes from this metal flower, and at this moment, the phosphorescence in this blooming flower made Charlotte's eyelids twitch, and she felt a strong sense of danger.

Without thinking too much, Charlotte immediately forcibly broke free from the shackles of the force field around her, and quickly exited the room towards the rear.

Turning around and jumping, Charlotte fell face down on the floor in the other section of the corridor with her head in her hands...Boom~!

The scorching flames exploded with shattered metal fragments, the door was blown to pieces, and the entire office was shrouded in raging flames.

"Ahem, this is... a killer?" Charlotte got up from the ground, covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, and looked towards the office filled with fire and smoke.

Looking at the room engulfed in flames, Charlotte felt uncomfortable. He was involved in a trouble, a trouble that might knock him out of his wits.

The sheriff of a government administrative agency was attacked by killers in the police station, and his office was also bombed and shattered into a sea of ​​flames. No matter how you look at it, this incident has become a big mess, and it has directly escalated to terrorists attacking government agencies. Degree.

The most terrible thing was that he was on the scene, and, was the killer planning to kill Fernan, or was he just setting a trap here and waiting for his arrival?

"... Explosion, what's going on?"

"Quick, quick, on the fifth floor..."

"..."

The noisy sound came into Charlotte's ears with the sound of footsteps. At first, he was still thinking that after nightfall, there might not be many police officers in this police station, but now it seems that Charlotte is thinking too much.

What's worse is that there is only one staircase here, and Charlotte can't stay away at all. Once someone sees it, she really can't clear her suspicions.

Thinking of this, Charlotte stood up, ran directly to the office shrouded in flames, rushed into the sea of ​​flames with her hands across her face, and then jumped out of the window of this office through the flames and smoke.

Falling to the ground from a height of more than ten meters, Charlotte's body was already smothered by flames and smoke, but fortunately, there was no serious problem, but... crunch.

The familiar voice immediately caught Charlotte's attention, and at the position where he landed, an identical metal flower was opening its petals, and a purple-red phosphorescence was lit in the flower.

"asshole."

Cursing, Charlotte used force again, forcibly breaking the surrounding force field and rushing forward.

Boom~!

"Aard." The backhand released the seal to form an impact, blocking the impact and metal fragments from the explosion behind him. Charlotte rushed to the outer wall while cursing inwardly: "Have everyone here gone crazy!"

Well, now Charlotte is really sure that the guy who planted the bomb is coming for him, but the question is, how did that guy know he would come?And the timing is just right?

Before running to the outer wall, Charlotte didn't slow down, and jumped straight up. Under the effect of light movement (light kung fu), she jumped more than four meters high, climbed over the wall and landed on the street.

crunch.

Once again, Charlotte's face suddenly became stiff, and the third metal flower was blooming at the corner outside the wall, restrained by the decelerating force field as before, and the purple-red phosphorescence caused a violent explosion.

Boom~!
