It's noon that day.
Gilan is sitting cross-legged on the bed, counting his belongings.
He wrapped Kurt's gold watch, silver lighter and sapphire ring in newspapers, hid them in the old handbag, and stuffed them under the bed.
These things cannot be seen in the light, and it is not convenient to take action for the time being, so as not to be followed by others.
There were only 16 Caesar 10 Pfennig banknotes in Kurt's wallet, all of which were taken out by Gilan and kept as his own.
'With this money, I have 285 Caesar 22 Pfennig on hand, but I still have to give 210 Caesar to Miss Seagull as the cost of purchasing two Mercury Battery...'
Gilan secretly said that money is useless.
At this time, the voice of Old Jerry came from outside the house, indicating that lunch was ready and he was invited to come downstairs to eat.
Gilan responded politely and immediately got out of bed.
In the afternoon.
Mr. Oystercatcher and Miss Seagull arrived at the apartment one after another.
The four of them gathered in the living room, sitting on the sofa drinking tea and talking about Miss Sparrow.
"I sent someone to inquire about the situation. Miss Sparrow arrived home safely, but then someone from the police station came to the door again."
Miss Seagull drank sweet black tea and said.
"Then she will be okay?" Mr. Oystercatcher said worriedly.
Miss Seagull shook his head slightly.
"I used my family connections to put pressure on Horst Police Station. Miss Sparrow will be fine for the time being. She has not been included in the suspect list. She is just a pure victim."
She said, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gilan, and then whispered:
"However, Horst Police Station has classified this case as a 'first-class serious incident'. I am afraid that a considerable number of manpower will be dispatched to start the investigation...Mr. Snowy Owl, please be careful during this period."
"First-class bad incident?!" Mr. Oystercatcher's eyes widened.
In the Bremen Empire, the official characterization of the degree of crime is divided into four levels: third class, second class, first class and special class, and is distinguished by three properties: ordinary, urgent and serious.
A "first-class bad incident" is already a very serious case. When placed in Black City, it can be traced back to a "Rainy Night Serial Murder Case" more than ten years ago. The murderer brutally murdered nineteen women in a slum area during the rainy season during a week, which once caused panic.
That case even caused a sensation throughout Black City.
"This... isn't this just a simple robbery?" Mr. Oystercatcher opened his mouth. "How could the police station characterize this as such a serious case?"
Miss Seagull glanced at Gilan again and saw that he was drinking tea as if nothing had happened, and his heart could not help but tremble slightly.
"Louis Family's third son, Kurt Louis, was killed, and his head was shattered into pieces... The four armed bodyguards who protected him also died tragically, and only Miss Sparrow escaped from the scene alive."
She shared information carefully.
"Ah?" Mr. Oystercatcher couldn't help but be stunned.
Even Mr. Stork on the side stopped pouring tea.
The two men turned their heads slightly to look at the blond young man in unison.
Mr. Snowy Owl...
Didn't he play the role of "robber" and help Miss Sparrow take back the pocket watch?
Why did you kill everyone?!
"Mr. Snowy Owl, was there an accident?"
Mr. Oystercatcher Seeing that the blond young man was unscathed and spotless, he couldn't help but swallowed and guessed:
"Did other people or forces intervene in this matter? You protected Miss Sparrow and fled the scene..."
"Well, something happened."
Gilan was startled, then nodded and admitted.
Mr. Oystercatcher was secretly relieved when he heard this.
"They were the ones who shot first." Gilan took a sip of tea and put the cup down. "In order to protect myself and worry about Miss Sparrow getting hurt, I had to kill them all."
For a while, the scene was a little quiet.
"So... it turns out to be like this."
Mr. Oystercatcher wiped the sweat without leaving a trace.
"For the next period of time, Mr. Snowy Owl will try not to go out and stay in the apartment. If you need anything, you can ask Old Jerry to help."
Mr. Stork did not comment on this, just said in a deep voice.
He has a certain understanding of Gilan, but now it seems that he still underestimates him... He can fight four trained bodyguards with guns by himself and kill them all. Such strength is almost as good as his.
"Okay, Mr. Stork." Gilan nodded.
"In addition, since Miss Sparrow is temporarily under surveillance by the police station, I am afraid it is difficult to go out, so the original plan of 'Movie Day' will be postponed to a later date."
Mr. Stork poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip and said.
Everyone had no objections to this and agreed one after another.

However, on the morning of the third day, Miss Sparrow came to the apartment as usual.
For this reason, she also specifically asked Mr. Stork to notify the Assembly members in advance to gather today, saying that there was something important.
At ten minutes to eleven in the morning, the five of them gathered together again.
Miss Sparrow, under the puzzled gaze of everyone, placed a beautiful yellow paper gift bag on the coffee table, and took out five palm-sized small wooden boxes of different colors from it, four of which were handed to the four members present.
"Dang, dang, dang!" Miss Sparrow said in his mouth, spreading his hands, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. "This is a thank you gift to thank everyone for their help. At the same time, it is also a celebration that we have finished watching the movie <Black Lake>!"
Miss Seagull opened his own wooden box. Inside was an exquisitely carved gold coin, with a Seagull engraved on the front, eyes decorated with green jade, and "Seagull" in cursive characters on the back.
"It's quite beautiful. I like it very much." Miss Seagull played with the gold coins and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Thank you for your gift. It's not in vain that I have put so much effort into helping you."
"Just like it, Miss Seagull." Miss Sparrow smiled at her.
"Is this specially customized by Miss Sparrow? It's so exquisite!"
Mr. Oystercatcher praised.
He also held an engraved gold coin in his hand, but the pattern on the front was of a cute Oystercatcher with an open mouth. The small claws on the legs were decorated with amber, which was different from Miss Seagull. Obviously, each member's gold coin was consistent with their respective code names, and the embellishment parts and materials were different.
On the Mr. Stork gold coin is a Red-billed Stork with a long pointed mouth made of red agate.
The gold coin Miss Sparrow is an ordinary little Sparrow, but its feathers are silver-plated.
Gilan placed his gold coin in the palm of his hand, lowered his head and looked closely. The pattern engraved on the front is of a Snowy Owl standing upright with its wings folded, and its eyes are a pair of dazzling sapphires.
It is quite consistent with his deep blue eyes.
Moreover, after comparison, he found that on the back of his gold coin, there was not only the code "Snowy Owl" in curly script, but also some additional engravings:
"To Mr. Snowy Owl, thank you for everything you have done for me."
Below this sentence, there is a smaller sentence. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find. "You are a gentleman with grace, and a certain Sparrow is panicked by this."
Gilan was slightly startled.
He looked up and saw Miss Sparrow smiling at him.
Just like the sincerity when we first met.
But this time, there was a hint of blush on the cheeks.
Thanks to "Song Kaixin" for the 100-point reward!
