32. After the fact
The Library of Paradise is actually an archives library serving the domestic public [1], and Mick has been working there for eight years.
Unlike other intelligence officers, he does not like to use soldiers with professional backgrounds, but is willing to find qualified talents among civilians to develop into his own informants. According to him, humble civilians are more likely to blend into the crowd and are more likely to blend in with the crowd.
Easily obtain information.
After all, imperial soldiers need to be paid a considerable sum of money when sent on missions, while informants only need to maintain their basic livelihood. There are even "alien" people who are full of patriotism and do not take any money.
But when it comes to loyalty to the empire, the attitude of civilians is too erratic, and they need to be extra careful when controlling. Sometimes they have to be ruthless, and Mick is one of the best.
303 has been with Mick for six years. The old man is getting older and weaker, so he wants to quit.
He was an unemployed vagrant before, living on the little salary Mick gave him. After he retired, he had no real source of income, so he naturally had to make some money. Unfortunately, Andre's step was too outrageous, and he directly kicked the iron.
Ban, he was also implicated.
The night he met Andre, Mick was confused.
Logically speaking, Kawei didn't even let out a word when he was taken to the police station, and the chance of informing was very low. On the other hand, 303 has been with him for so many years and has never had anything like this happen. So today he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to send a fake will.
opportunity to clarify the ins and outs of the matter.
But the process was far from as simple as he thought. The wisdom of Austrian civilians was not much worse than that of his intelligence officer.
In the absence of a real will, there were only 0 and countless fake wills. After repeatedly insisting that his own was the real one to no avail, he had to choose to cleanse these "tricksters".
As for 303, his original plan was to kill him. No matter how you look at it, as long as Andre comes to the door and directly gives his name, 303 has failed in his duty. Now he has colluded with the man named Shaden.
, the crime is increased by one level.
But at the last moment, Mick relented.
Too many people died on No. 73. If even 303 is gone, there will be no one to help them dispose of the bodies. More importantly, even if Kawei is asked to take over the job of the spy, he will definitely not be used to it at first. He still needs someone who knows the inside story.
A veteran helped carry it.
From this point of view, 303 is indeed a good candidate.
However, changes came one after another, and Kawei's new job caught Mick by surprise again.
Archives need to extend their tentacles into all walks of life, and the Forestry Bureau, where Kawei once worked, is one of the departments with relatively weak eyesight.
The Forestry Bureau manages urban greening and the hunting forests of the nobles. Recently, the king is planning to follow the example of New York and build a city park on the Ring Road [2]. The department in charge is the newly established Park Management Bureau, which is affiliated with the Forestry Bureau.
Of course, Kawei’s starting point was very low. He was just a tree cutter in the Forestry Bureau before.
But when it comes to work, Mick can definitely help him and give him a comfortable place to relax. Normally, he doesn't need to come to report at all.
And it’s not like tree fellers like Kawei don’t have the opportunity to climb up. Every summer when the Forestry Bureau has nothing to do, they all need to find private jobs. As long as Mick provides enough channels and a little packaging, with Kawei’s
Judging from their appearance, it is not difficult to enter the estates of those nobles and celebrities.
But now he has temporarily changed jobs, completely disrupting Mick's previous arrangements: "It's a bit troublesome."
"So, it's not that I don't want to, it's that Teacher Ignatz is too clingy."
Kavi once again reiterated the danger of Ignatz and his important position in the opponent's mind: "Two days ago, he invited me to undergo Count Morasso's surgery together, and the surgery was very successful. Oh, by the way,
It was the night Andre came to find you."
The conflict completely came to Ignatz, and Kawei was betting that the other party would give in.
Mick really had a headache.
Ignatz, who is behind the other party, is well-known and indeed a troublesome figure. Not only is the Baron's identity and connections troublesome, but also his career with a single-minded personality and familiar anatomy knowledge is troublesome.
If an apprentice dies inexplicably, it's okay if he doesn't pursue it. Once he does, he and the archives will definitely be in the wrong.
Mick likes to be ruthless, but in this business you still have to look at problems from different angles.
Nowadays, the medical field is booming, doctors' academic qualifications are increasing, and their connections are all over the country. The archives are completely blank, and leaving Kawidu is more useful than killing him.
Mick looked at Kavi and asked: "Are you really Dr. Ignatz's apprentice?"
"right."
"Can you go to the operating table?"
"able!"
"Then..." Mick scratched his cheek and seemed to have made a decision, "This building will still be left to you, but the rent will have to be paid in full. You will still commute according to the hospital's hours, but
Be sure to come back here at night, 303 will assist you in completing the information collection work."
...
Kawei originally thought that 303, who was lucky enough to survive, would be an opportunity for him to decline, but he didn't expect that the other party played a game of "old and new" and still nailed him to Building 73. The key point is that Mick is particularly satisfied with this
He decided that all his suggestions would be in vain.
"Haha, you kid definitely didn't expect that even after all your calculations, you still couldn't escape from his grasp."
303 gasped and dragged the woman in Room 102 downstairs: "Of course, I didn't expect that there would be someone who could accompany me for a while on the road to hell. This can be regarded as a gift from God, haha.
..."
In fact, Kawei was not as uncomfortable as 303 said, and his mood at this time could only be described as "complicated."
Although he did not receive any rent and lost his personal freedom, in order to confuse the tenants of No. 73, he still nominally inherited the building and all of Mr. Andre Edmond's personal products.
Like 303, there is a monthly salary of 15 kronor, and a daily travel allowance of 30 hler.
The couple in Room 102 died, their 1-year-old child was taken away by Mick, and Shaden also died. The will has completely lost its meaning. The property in the city center was reverted to "state-owned", and in Kawei's words, it became
After selling the assets, everything seems natural.
Nowadays, no one will care about such a young man unless he openly publicizes his identity as an illegitimate son.
But all this comes at a price.
He needs to become an accomplice with the bitter rival who was still fighting each other just now, and he also needs to become Mick's informant and accomplice. As for the deadline, the other party does not seem to have clearly stated how long this kind of work will last, and maybe he is not prepared to give him a deadline at all.
Carvey looked at the items on the inheritance list, and then at Mr. Cahill who was being dragged down the stairs by him. He didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky.
It was the first time he had done this kind of thing, and he was unsure: "Are you sure there is no one on the first and second floors?"
303 calmly took out a set of backup keys from his pocket, easily opened the door of 102, and said while pulling the body:
"101 is a baker, who leaves at 4 a.m. and doesn't get home until 8 p.m.; 103 is a textile worker, who also leaves at 4 a.m. and gets home at 8 p.m.; 104 is a road construction worker, who goes out from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Room 201
She is a sewing worker who makes leather gloves; 202 that woman must go out to find a job at this time; 203 is a shoemaker; 204 is a dock porter..."
Kawei sighed, as a kind of affirmation that he knew everything about his family, and then dragged the man in Room 102 in with force: "Just put the two of them in the room like this?"
"What else? It's nothing new for couples to poison each other." 303 smiled and tore up the tablecloth, spilled the milk on the table, and threw out a few slices of bread, creating a sign of chaos. "Speaking of which,
, if I were asked to choose, I would rather fall from the building, just like the woman named Rosa."
Kawei felt strange when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "Shouldn't she be hit to death by a heavy object and then thrown out of the window?"
"Are you kidding me?" 303 knocked down two more chairs and said, "She is a Russian spy and she jumped after being discovered."
"Then why..."
Seeing Kawei gesticulating on his face, the old man seemed to know the answer early on: "Once people like them are discovered, they have no value in living. Rather than being captured and tortured, it is better to kill themselves. There are many shops outside."
If you hit a stone brick and face down when you jump, you will not only be disfigured but also die quickly."
After listening to these words and recalling Miss Rosa's pulpy cheeks, Kawei had a real sense of entering this industry for the first time.
He carefully dragged Xia Deng's body down from the third floor. After entering, he still felt something was wrong: "You can't just stay here casually. You have to behave. What kind of poison did Mr. Mick just use?"
"Not sure." 303 shook his head.
"Not sure? The couple died of poisoning. There must have been poison at the scene."
"It doesn't really matter whether there is poison or not. Anyway, if the police can't find the murderer, the matter will be settled." The old man patted him on the shoulder and smiled and talked about his experience over the years, "Don't worry, I have always dealt with it this way before.
of."
Kawei frowned: This is too casual!
For some reason, Inspector Witte suddenly appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "No, this definitely won't work!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's too dangerous to do this."
"There are so many kinds of poisons, who knows which ones to use? Don't talk about you and me, even Mr. Mick and the assistant probably don't know."
"Throat burning, abdominal pain and vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, and then systemic hypoxia, it all looks like arsenic!" Kawei rummaged through the cabinets and found a bottle of medicine that is very common in pharmacies, "Use this, Fowler's solution [3
】.”
303 looked at the vial on the table and recalled: "Mr. Cahill seems to have bought this in a small drugstore. Are you sure it's poison?"
"It might be useful if you use less, but if you use too much, it will kill you. Add a little to the milk first, then put a little on the bread..."
"The couple poisoned each other, but Xia Den was strangled to death. How to explain this?"
"This is not difficult."
Carvey picked up a kitchen cutting knife and walked towards Sharden: "We can say that Mr. Cahill found out that his wife was not only hooking up with the landlord but also having an affair with Mr. Sharden. He killed Sharden out of shame and anger, and then killed him again.
He poisoned his wife to death and finally committed suicide."
This time, 303 frowned: "Isn't this... combat effectiveness too strong?"
"Otherwise, what should I do? It's not necessarily my wife who found out that the two men were getting together."
Chapter completed!
