Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 232: The Saint's Ambush is full of ambition, and her abacus is jingling

"Don't worry, Jacob. Even if we reach our destination, we still need to wait a few more days. Novedon is a big city in Mosesad, and Nicholas lives in the city center. There are countless sheriffs patrolling around Rodwell Company and his estate every day."

The man named Bill was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and with a square face. He was looking down and flipping through the holy book in his hand. He was the chief judge in charge of the secret operation of Moses Sadr this time:

"After all, there are only six of us. It's unrealistic to kill Nicholas in Novedon without exposing our whereabouts. If Haverson and Roselis were here, we might have a 20% to 30% chance of success."

"Don't mention those two idiots. It would be wise to kick them out as a cover."

Jacob spoke harshly. In fact, most of the judges were like this. They were used to the cruelty, joys and sorrows of the world. People like the Haversson brothers and sisters, who always quoted scriptures to debate and were cautious in doing things, were considered outliers.

"..."

Bill wanted to quote a maxim from the Bible to advise Jacob that pride is also a sin, but after thinking it over, he shut his mouth.

Jacob never considered himself proud. Everything he did and said was what he should do. He did have reason to be proud. He could master the dreamland at such a young age. It was said that in the trial missions he participated in, no rebellious pagan could survive for more than ten minutes.

Pride is the original sin, and working in vain is considered stupidity in the church. Since I can't convince the other party, I won't waste my breath.

"Does the informant have any other information? Other than the time when Nicholas will arrive in New Nulund?"

"No, this is not the Holy See. Our ears are not very good, and the Mosesad people are keeping the news very secret. But what is certain is that in addition to the sheriff, there will definitely be someone else escorting Nicholas."

This speculation is not difficult to think of. There were traces of mysterious scholars' involvement in previous continental expositions, but they were all suppressed by the authorities of various countries. To the people, these things were still too horrifying.

"Investigation Department? The investigation captain named Ricky you mentioned earlier will also be involved, right? Or other local religious groups in Mosesad?"

After Jacob finished speaking, he whistled the song "The Ride of the Holy Crusaders" sung by the Holy Women.

Bill looked at the Holy Book in his hand and did not argue with him. Whether it was Jacob or the remaining five judges, these people had different abilities, but there was only one thing in common, that is, they all obeyed the orders of the cardinal absolutely. As long as he made proper arrangements, Nicholas would not be able to attend the exposition alive.

……

On the third floor of the Investigation Department, Liu Yonglu chatted with Carol for a while before Ms. Peggy came out of the house and called Millie Tang into the room, but not long after, Millie Tang came out again.

"How come you came out so soon? Didn't I prescribe you some medicine?"

“Ms. Peggy said it was not a big deal, but she would use hypnotherapy to help me feel better over the next few days.

Mr. Rich, you also saw the power of forbidden spells yesterday. Every afternoon when I go to the third floor for treatment, you go to the basement to continue practicing forbidden spells. "

"Hello."

Liu Yonglu agreed readily but did not take it to heart. In his eyes, he had already learned the "predator's smile" and it worked quite well yesterday.

He went downstairs with a grin on his face and ran into Oliver. It turned out that it was Director Norman who called him. Miles's brother Corgan would come over in the afternoon, and the two of them wanted to meet and see if he was suitable to be an investigator.

Liu Yonglu was worried about having nothing to do, so it was better to have tea with the chief elder to relieve his boredom than to listen to the chatter of the little genius brother and sister. They had not converted Liu Yonglu to the Holy Maiden Sect, but Liu Yonglu was familiar with the words. Now if they gave him a member of the Wisdom God Sect, he might accuse him of being a traitor.

"Old man, when will Kogan come? Where are we?"

Liu Yonglu went downstairs to have lunch and pushed the door into the switchboard room. He was really not shy. Seeing that Chief Norman had just made the tea, he poured himself a large cup of tea first.

"Please take a seat. I guess he'll be here soon."

Director General Norman usually works hard in the morning, doing important things, and has free time in the afternoon. He is casually looking through the files of his investigators, planning how to arrange the staff when the expo opens in a few days.

When he turned to Millie Tang's file, General Norman shook his head and smiled, then looked up and asked Liu Yonglu:

"Ricky, do you have any questions for me lately?"

"doubt?"

Liu Yonglu looked puzzled. He hesitated for a moment, scratched the back of his head, and spoke rather embarrassedly:
"Master Chief, I just want to ask...

When will our company lower its level? I am not ungrateful, but you know that we all have to have a purpose in our work. "

"..."

In fact, even if Liu Yonglu asked about Millie Tang, General Norman didn't want to tell him. It was quite interesting to watch these two people joking every day. Besides, Millie Tang herself had the mouth, and I really thought that she would tell Ricky herself.

The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted, but no one came, no matter how long they waited. It was around three o'clock when someone knocked on the door. A brown-haired young man about 20 years old came in with a box in his hand.

His appearance and attire were not surprising, he was wearing a suit like an ordinary clerical worker, he was of medium build, neither fat nor thin, his smile was quite endearing, he had a baby face with two dimples on each side.

But when Liu Yonglu's eyes moved to the paper bag in his hand, he couldn't move them away. It was a brown kraft paper bag with a gold-lined rope. There was a lark pattern painted on the bag, and a line of cursive words "Dolores Cake Shop" below.

Liu Yonglu knew this cake shop, which was right in front of the investigation department. They were most famous for their puffs, which were said to have seven or eight flavors and tasted quite good. But there were two faults: first, they were extremely expensive; second, there were always long queues at all times of the day. Liu Yonglu only bought a cup of puff once for Xiaohu, and he never queued again after that.

Hey, not bad, he’s quite capable. Liu Yonglu had a good first impression of him.

"Good afternoon, Commander Norman. This must be the famous Captain Ricky."

As he spoke, the young man took two quick steps and grabbed Liu Yonglu's hand.

"Nice to meet you."

Liu Yonglu said "nice to meet you" while taking the paper bag, but the other party held it very tightly and the two of them started to tear it apart.

After all, Liu Yonglu was the captain of the investigation department and his identity was clear. After pulling twice, he finally got the paper bag in his hand.

Liu Yonglu was such a loser. While General Norman was chatting with Kogan, he sat on the sofa and started tearing the packaging.

It seems that what he did was a bit unruly. There are customary etiquettes in social occasions. If a guest brings a gift to visit someone, if it is a dinner party at someone's house, then the gift should be opened in front of the person. For example, if you bring a red wine, you can drink it with dinner. But if you bring a gift to someone's workplace, you cannot open it in front of them. If the gift is too expensive or private, it will be bad for outsiders to see it.

Liu Yonglu didn't care about this at all. It was almost tea time and he was hungry. He opened a full box of puffs and put them on the table, eating them while drinking tea.

General Norman favored Liu Yonglu and didn't take this little thing to heart. He didn't like sweets, so he just chatted with Kougan.

It's no wonder that Kou Gang said the same thing as his sister on the phone. Although he works as a clerk in the logistics department, he is very concerned about the work of the investigator and special events.

Chief Norman asked a few questions, and the young man answered them all. However, he was inevitably nervous in front of two important figures, and his speech was a little halting.

"Ricky, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Yes... yes, can you drive a cart?"

His mouth was stuffed full of puffs, which tasted really good. In comparison, the nun's egg tarts were three points weaker.

"Yes, I can drive a horse-drawn carriage. My brother runs a winery, and now when I return to the countryside, I often help him deliver oak barrels."

Kou Gang answered Liu Yonglu but his eyes were glancing at the puff. Liu Yonglu quickly pushed the puff over to him. He found that as long as the boy didn't answer the question, he would just keep eating it, especially the ones at the bottom. It was like the two of them were competing.

"Oh, okay, then introduce yourself again and tell me if you have any special skills."

This was the cliché in an interview. There was no more questions to ask. Let the child speak for himself. Liu Yonglu followed suit and picked up a puff from the bottom of the box and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hmm? Why is there no filling in this puff?
He was puzzled but didn't show it on his face. He finished eating one puff skin, took another one and broke it open, but it still had no filling.

Interesting, he held the empty puff in his hand and weighed it, just to show it to Kogan opposite.

Kou Gang saw the empty puff in Liu Yonglu's hand, but acted as if he didn't see it. He still had something to say, so he introduced himself and lowered his head to drink tea.

OK, the psychological quality is good.

Although it was called an interview, the main decision-making power still lay with Liu Yonglu. His sister made it clear that he was only allowed to join Richie's Shiweitian, and not other teams.

So after asking a few questions, General Norman turned his head and glanced at Liu Yonglu with an inquiring look.

"Okay, just do an internship first. It's not a big problem. You'll understand everything after working with us."

Liu Yonglu nodded and put the box of puffs away again:

"Master Chief, I'll cut this snack for the child to eat, is that ok?"

"Well, you can take it with you."

Chief Norman doesn't like sweets to begin with, and the food isn't expensive, so Richie can take it away if he wants.

Kou Gang stood up and thanked him profusely before leaving the switchboard room. As soon as he left, Liu Yonglu caught up with him.

"Boy, this puff has no filling, what's wrong with it?"

"Oh no……"

Kougan was quite calm. He pretended to think for a while and explained:

"Maybe the pastry chef at Dolores Cake Shop forgot. I'll ask them later."

"Don't follow me here! I checked them one by one, and there are still some cream flowers left in the puffs."

"hey-hey……"

When Kou Gang saw that he was recognized, he smiled foolishly and said nothing.

It turned out that he just found out at the last minute that he had to meet General Norman and Captain Richie today. He couldn't go empty-handed, he had to bring something with him.

It's just that it's the end of the month now, and his salary was not much to begin with. He had spent most of it in the first half of the month, so he wasn't well off.

As he was thinking, he thought of the eclairs in the cake shop. He usually couldn't bear to buy this thing, but he happened to hear that General Norman didn't like sweets, so he bought a box without thinking.

Kogan had an idea. He found a straw and went to a deserted place to suck up the cream from the bottom layer of eclairs. Then he blew them up one by one and put them at the bottom.

He had a good plan. General Norman didn't like sweets anyway, so he would probably give this thing to someone else. Even if someone got something wrong after eating the puff, they wouldn't dare to ask General Norman. They could just think of it as the cake shop's negligence. He would have given the gift and tasted the cream, so he wouldn't be at a loss.

But he never expected that his captain was a foodie.

"Don't be silly, you are such an interesting kid. This is the first time I've seen someone give a gift like this."

"Hey, Captain, I usually like to take advantage of others."

"Oh, so my good teammate is waiting for me here. Well, you have something. Come to the study room 031 on the basement floor tomorrow to find me. I will give you some pointers."

Liu Yonglu was very happy. He didn't expect that both of them would be found together within one day. He looked up at the watch and saw that there were still two hours before the end of get off work. He had just had a great time eating eclairs, so he planned to run to his new store on Helen Street to see how the preparations for the opening were going.

I walked leisurely to Helen Street and looked up. OK, Baba and Marquette were really efficient. The sign decoration was almost finished.

But when he pushed the door open, he found that there was music coming from the room and all the chefs and waiters, including Baba, were gathered in the hall. No one was talking or working. They just stood there.

Liu Yonglu was curious but didn't call them. He stood on tiptoe to look inside. But what he saw was not a big deal. He was also stunned on the spot, astonished by the beauty!
Today 7k+. Anyway, I pay attention to the way I write, and the buttons are fastened a little long, haha.

I finally got a stiff neck after sleeping yesterday. I will have to use a cupping jar later. It’s getting cold now, so everyone should cover themselves with blankets before sleeping.
