The object of their loyalty
Lorry looked at the shadow on Lieutenant Colonel's face and suddenly felt a little palpitated.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lieutenant Colonel say, "Let's go into the house and talk. I happen to have something to do, and I originally planned to contact you tomorrow."
Lorry nodded lightly. "Okay."
Then Vera took out the key Door Opening, and the two of them went in one after the other.
Arriving at Living Room Area, Lieutenant Colonel waved his hand to indicate that Lorry should sit down first. He then went to Kitchen to boil water and turned around and asked, "Coffee or Black Tea?"
Lorry couldn't help but be slightly startled, with inexplicable emotions flashing in his eyes.
He was silent for a few seconds and whispered, "Black Tea."
Zizzi! The gas stove makes a ignition sound.
Lorry lowered his hands, hiding them behind Tea Table, gently rubbing White Bone Ring with his thumbs, and chatting casually. "By the way, Lieutenant Colonel, which department do we belong to? I heard other Beyonder say before that we are Military Hyena, does it belong to Military?"
"Military Hyena----" Vera fiddled with the kettle without looking back and said angrily, "It seems Backlund's search intensity is not enough."
He made a joke and then explained, "MI9 is Intelligence Agency of the Kingdom, and is affiliated with Military, but in fact we have little relationship with them."
This is information that Lorry already knows.
The purpose of his asking this matter was to lead to the next question.
"Huh?"
Lorry pretended to be surprised and whispered, "Then who are we loyal to?"
"Of course it's His Majesty the King." Vera said the answer without hesitation, without noticing that Informant's eyes suddenly became dark.
Allegiance to His Majesty the King?!
George III?! That Loen king who dreams of becoming "Black Emperor"?! Lorry's heart felt like a huge stone was dropped, causing countless ripples in an instant.
So, is the mission to investigate Missing Persons really just a show?!
The feedback from "Mind Reading" told him that Lieutenant Colonel was not lying.
"Your question----" Vera walked over with two glasses of Black Tea and said jokingly, "If others hear it, I'm afraid I will be regarded as a foreign spy."
"Don't talk about us, even the nobles, Military, and even the people of Loen, isn't the object of their allegiance to the king?"
"Boy, are you from Loen?"
He said with a smile and handed one of the cups of Black Tea to Lorry.
Lorry responded slowly and took the teacup, his thoughts fluctuating. Lieutenant Colonel What does this mean? The allegiance in his mouth seems to be different from what I want to ask!
Generalized allegiance?
Lorry's heart skipped a beat, feeling like he had been given a shot in the arm.
The feedback from "Mind Reading" was still normal, but he did not dare to continue testing, fearing that Lieutenant Colonel would detect his intentions, so he changed the topic and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, you just said outside the door that you planned to contact me, what happened?"
Hearing this question, Vera gradually stopped smiling, and even the playful expression that often appeared on his face disappeared.
He put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Last night, a home invasion and murder occurred in East Borough.
"One of them was a woman, and her death was extremely tragic. According to feedback from tenants on the same floor, there was another person living in the same room, who is currently missing.
"Since the woman was Evernight Believer, Police quickly notified Nighthawks.
"After a series of investigations, they discovered that the lover of the deceased, the missing person, had another identity, Human Trafficker who controlled several Gang!
"Moreover, he is a member of our MI9.
"A corrupted "Arbiter"!
"After a day of tracking, Nighthawks successfully destroyed Gang under his control and obtained sufficient evidence of their crime."
After saying that, anger emerged in his eyes, and he slammed the table. "This bastard! Not only did he kidnap and traffick adults, he also didn't let go of the poor old people and orphans, and he allowed his subordinates to kidnap him.
Fight and rape women!"
"If I catch him, I will definitely throw him into a prison where all men are male, so that he can have a good taste of Despair!"
Listening and listening, Lorry couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Not only was I shocked by Nighthawks's case handling efficiency, but also because of Lieutenant Colonel's words.
"Mind Reading" told him:
This is the true thought of Lieutenant Colonel, and there is no fraud at all!
After venting his anger, Vera softened his tone slightly and sighed, "In short, this bastard makes us quite passive.
"Church of the Evernight Goddess and other the Two Churches sent people to hold him accountable. They even suspected that we hid that Arbiter.
"How is this possible?!
"We are loyal to His Majesty the King, implement his will, and protect the people of the Kingdom. How can we protect Human Trafficker!
"Didn't their Official Member fall? How could I remember that Church of the Evernight Goddess even defected to Archbishop before?
Already."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
But he quickly returned to the topic. "In short, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Director and several Deputy Director have promised Three Great Churches to find this fallen Arbiter as soon as possible.
"Here are his details. Take a few copies back when you leave."
"Okay." Lorry lowered his head and took the pile of information handed over by Lieutenant Colonel. Looking at the lifelike portrait of Hayes, the corners of his mouth turned up a little.
It turns out that Lieutenant Colonel doesn't know anything.
This is good.
At the same time.
East Borough In a cramped one-bedroom apartment.
The owner of the bed was sleeping, but the books on the small table by the window suddenly turned, making a rustling noise like the wind, and settled on the unfinished last page.
The moonlight shines through the glass, reflecting on the lines of words.
"Judging from Altair's professional perspective, Miles is just a second-rate writer. He suddenly changed his mind and wrote Horror Novel. The final result is inevitable."
"After the failure, Miles plans to transition back and continue writing Mystery novels."
"That's a very reasonable thing to do."
"Miles's newly created story involves the element of porters. In order to better collect materials, he chose to visit Harbor Borough during the day."
"It's something every writer does, and it's logical."
"Miles gained so much that I couldn't wait to come up with the plot on the way back, but accidentally walked into an abandoned Port."
"This is a den of human trafficking, and it is usually impossible to get close to it. But because the latest goods received included a lady from the Viscount family, who was of noble birth, the people who were supposed to be on guard couldn't bear the temptation. Being controlled by their lower bodies, they gave up on the orders from above and chose to go in and get a share of the pie."
"The cry of Miss Viscount caught the attention of Miles. Driven by curiosity, he briefly overcame the fear in his heart and approached, but unfortunately he was frightened by the tortured goods and couldn't help making a sound, which alerted the busy guards. After Luck fled the area, he was guided by instinct to find his neighbor."
"This is very reasonable and very realistic."
