Douglas: "Are you okay, Miss Ferrara?"

After closing the door to the safe house, Douglas first placed Flira in place, then held her arms and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm okay, your hand"

"It's just a small injury, nothing to worry about." Douglas shook his head and smiled rarely again.

In order to protect Fleila just now, his left hand was scratched by an arrow. Although the long and narrow wound caused burning pain from time to time, to Douglas, this level of damage was not worth mentioning at all.

He casually tore off another piece of cloth from the cuff of his tattered coat and wrapped the wound, not intending to dwell on this issue.

Douglas: "Compared to this, Miss, do you have any way to contact the guards or relatives in the city? Although it is hidden here, but based on the way that group of people acted before, I am afraid they will come here sooner or later."

Fleira: "Yes, I brought a phone bug with me. I should be able to contact the outside."

"That's great." Douglas confirmed Flira's statement, but before the girl could make a call, two footsteps of varying severity came from the second floor of the safe house.

This sudden sound frightened Flira to the point that she froze. It was not until the young man patted her gently on the back that the eldest lady managed to regain her composure.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The young man motioned for her to step back and keep a safe distance, while he quickly reached the edge of the stairs.

Douglas: "Who?"

Hagrid: "Are you the boss? I am Hagrid."

Kong Wu's powerful stick boy responded, and after confirming that it was Douglas himself, he happily ran down from the second floor.

As he ran, he was still holding Ke Wende, who was tied into a rice dumpling, in his hands. The latter rolled and fell down the stairs, screaming in pain.

Hagrid: "Boss, you are injured"

"It's just a minor injury." Douglas indicated that he was fine, and at the same time turned to introduce to Flira: "Miss, his name is Hagrid, and he is a partner who works in the same fishing ground as me."

Ferrara: "Is this or that person?"

Douglas: "His name is Cowende, he is Scarface's subordinate. Please forgive me for talking too much, but they were the ones who ignited the fire in the West End last night."

"He is the arsonist." Fleila covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes" Douglas nodded, then looked at Hagrid, "But Hagrid, why are you here? Why didn't you send this guy to the control tower?"

Hagrid: "Boss, you don't know that we set off a step behind you. Who knew we were attacked halfway?"

Douglas: "How come? Who wants to attack you?"

Hagrid shook his head and made a confused expression at the right time. "I don't know, it's not just us. I heard that other people in the slum area were also affected. Master Haier went on a killing spree as soon as he arrived at the coast."

Hagrid was dancing and gesticulating. It must be said that his performance seemed a bit artificial because he used too much force, but fortunately there was only Miss Ferrara in the audience, so it was not like he was in trouble.

Douglas: "This doesn't make sense. I already explained the situation to Boss Haier at the control tower, and all of Scarface's men were arrested. How could he implicate innocent people?"

The young man thought for a moment, then dragged Cowen out and asked in a stern tone, "Whose idea was it to set the fire last night?"

Ke Wende: "Ouch, ouch, don't fight, don't fight, brothers and sisters, this is really none of my business."

The one-eyed tiger only cares about supplications

No, Hagrid was impatient and punched him in the face again. "Don't talk nonsense."

Ke Wende: "Yes, yes, this is all the bad idea of ​​Scarface. Those of us who are younger brothers were all forced by him."

Douglas: "What is your purpose in setting fires?"

Ke Wende: "It's just to destroy your inventory, so that our fish stall can get more share during the next delivery."

Hagrid: "Then why did you even burn down Master Haier's warehouse?"

"I don't know about this," Ke Wende cried out in fear and spoke twitchingly. "Maybe it was because of the strong wind last night that the fire was uncontrollable and spread. Oh, oh, oh, brothers, you are just lending us a favor. Courage, I dare not touch the tiger, Haier’s old product.”

After explaining the situation, Ke Wende burst into tears and desperately begged the three people present to let him live.

Douglas was unmoved. He glanced at Hagrid and motioned to take the fat guy away first, while he took Flira up to the second floor temporarily.

Douglas: "Miss, at present, the identity of the arsonist is unmistakable. The only thing that is puzzling is why Haier's boss would go to all the trouble to go to war under such circumstances."

The boy could slow down his speech and even pause briefly in the middle to guide Miss Ferrara to think for herself.

"Well, the look of the arsonist just now does not look like he was lying. As for Haier?"

Suspicion already flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and Douglas took advantage of the situation and continued to speak.

"There are also those mysterious people who are chasing you, and their purpose is also suspicious. I mean, if Boss Haier's actions were because he knew that this group of madmen existed, why did he notify the control tower to let you Entering the West End?”

Fleira: "No, wait what if the people who were chasing us just now were Haier's men?"

"What?" Douglas deliberately looked shocked, "You mean Heyle betrayed the Osiris family?"

Fleira: "It's not impossible, but I don't understand why he would do this."

Douglas: "Yes, Haier serves Osiris and is in charge of a large fishing ground in the West District. Unless he has some more profitable business, why would he take a huge risk and betray the family?"

The speaker is intentional. In fact, Douglas has already known through the ability of intelligence acquisition that the Haier brothers are still secretly in charge of some "gold powder" transactions. They even know that the greedy two have embezzled a considerable part of the goods and shipped them to other forces in the West Sea for private sale. .

That's why the young man pretended to be casual and mentioned the topic of business to his face as an inspiration.

As a result, as a direct descendant of Osiris, Fleila naturally easily made associations in the direction the boy expected and figured out the outline of the entire story.

Stupid fishermen caused a fire last night in order to compete for some fish quotas, but the uncontrollable fire accidentally spread to Haier's warehouse for transporting illegal drugs. That's why he learned the news early this morning and tried his best to prevent himself from entering the West District, just because he wanted to. Destroy personal and material evidence one step ahead of time.

However, the development of the situation was beyond Haier's expectations. The gold powder incident was completely leaked. Foreseeing that he was about to be exposed, he made a desperate move, hoping to kill himself too, and then used the excuse of riot to completely annihilate the West District.

After some "reasoning", Fleila's expression suddenly changed after she came to the conclusion in her mind. She hurriedly picked up the phone, gave up the idea of ​​contacting Haier or the control tower, and directly asked her father in the city for help.

By this point, Douglas, who had been a bystander throughout the whole process, had completed most of the work in secret.

As a powerless and unworthy little man in the slums, his plan officially started on that rainy afternoon, and until now, it is finally almost time to reap the results.
