Chapter 187 Conversation in the Coffee Shop
People from this world, at least the country of Greed.
My favorite drink is tea.
Coffee is still a niche drink here, and its audience is not very broad.
So even in a coffee shop, Nicole ordered a cup of hot tea for Ronald.
After staring at his position for a few seconds, Ronald walked to his seat and sat down.
Then he looked at the two people in front of him and said slowly:
"."
"How is it? Is there any new news these days?"
"And you two came earlier than me today, so you didn't see anything noteworthy. ?”
Knowing that today’s activities require caution.
In front of Ronald, the investigator girl and the detective gentleman were dressed as plainly as possible and wrapped up tightly, quite like normal people who are afraid of the cold.
You can easily hide your appearance by pulling up your scarf or tugging on your hat.
Of course, so does Ronald.
To facilitate movement, he wore a green cotton-padded jacket today.
As long as the high collar is turned up, his cheeks can be completely covered behind him.
When she heard Ronald's question, Nicole nodded first:
"As for me, I went to the Investigation Bureau before departure and inquired about the security work. The one at the City Hall Security work has been started, and the warden is almost here at this time." "
It is absolutely impossible for him to escape for at least the next three hours." "
Based on the schedule of those officials, normally even if it is used It’s very common to lose five hours.”
After hearing what the investigator girl said, Ronald nodded towards her.
The two of them didn't say much, and looked at Swift together in a tacit understanding.
The meeting place today was decided by the detective before.
In order to maintain confidentiality, Swift only said in the invitation letter that she was here to try a new trendy coffee drink, without mentioning the real purpose of the three of them.
Ronald and Nicole have reason to believe so.
This experienced detective must have had his reasons when making the invitation.
Facing the gazes of his two companions, Mr. Detective nodded leisurely.
He first raised his tea cup and took a sip of coffee. When a look of enjoyment appeared on his face, he said slowly:
"My network has also confirmed the news."
"Rumiel will be there in a quarter of an hour. After that, she left the manor and took a carriage to the venue of the social dance. The location of this coffee shop is on the only way she can travel." Ronald then
said,
"So we just need to wait here quietly, Until Lumil's carriage passes by, is it time for us to carry out activities?"
Swift nodded confidently:
"That's right." This
was probably not the first time Mr. Detective had done this kind of thing.
When he said this, his expression was quite confident and his tone was very determined.
It looked like he had everything under control.
Sitting opposite Swift, Nicole held the teacup in both hands, sipping while nodding in agreement:
"In that case, let's discuss the details of today's actions?"
Ronald pointed directly to the center:
"The first thing is the dungeon under the warden's mansion."
"I have been active in Burrenwich not long ago and have never been to that place. Do you have any information here?"
As an elite investigator, Nicole He immediately said:
"I have been there once seven months ago."
"But at that time I was only responsible for escorting prisoners, so I only knew the location of the entrance and part of the route. And this was the layout seven months ago. I can't confirm where it was. Have the positions of the guards arranged in the dungeon changed now?"
As she spoke, Nicole put down the teacup, dipped her fingers in tea and started making signs on the table, while pretending to look out the window casually.
"The entrance to the dungeon is still a classic cellar design, and the general terrain is like this." "
I still have some information about the guards." At this time, Swift leaned forward slightly and explained, "According to what I have According to the statistical information, the warden's kitchen food procurement situation has been able to make a rough population calculation." "
Except for the officially employed housekeepers on the manor, they consume about 27 additional food every week. In other words, the total number of prisoners and guards in the dungeon is twenty-seven."
After hearing the news, Nicole immediately asked:
"Can this number be guaranteed to be correct?"
Swift nodded and said:
"This I can confirm that the error will not exceed three people."
After hearing this reply, the investigator girl nodded with satisfaction.
"Then things will be much clearer."
"The prisoners who have been detained for a long time by the warden and have not been released and transferred are basically the death row prisoners who will be disposed of in the month of repentance. Generally speaking, the number will be maintained at twenty-two About."
Ronald immediately continued:
"In other words, there are only about five to eight defense personnel in the warden's dungeon?" "
Except for necessary patrols and guards, as long as we act cautiously, we can only deal with Three or four people, and then we can find the warden's flaws in the dungeon." ".
"
At this point, the three of them stopped the conversation at the same time and each took a sip of the drink in front of them.
After waiting for a few seconds, Nicole continued:
"Tell me, what if the bodies of the two clergymen are no longer in the dungeon after we sneak in?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Swift immediately said Dispelling Nicole's worries, "My network has collected information and found that no suspicious things have been transported out of the warden's house recently, or prisoner corpses have been disposed of." "Those two priests are either corpses or corpses
. All living people must be in the dungeon at this moment."
After almost summarizing the information, Ronald felt it was time to decide the order of the team.
So, he took the initiative and said:
"Then the next action."
"The three of us will take the lead, one will attack and the other will cover, and the last one will provide support at the back of the team. What do you think?"
Ronald proposed without hesitation. A classic and proven tactic.
A standard three-person allocation can handle most situations.
Swift then nodded in agreement.
However, Nicolette shook her head:
"I don't think so!"
Somewhat unexpectedly, the investigator girl directly denied Ronald's idea, and then continued:
"Actually, I think I will be the main force in this operation. Then one of you two will accompany me."
"The remaining one will stay outside to act as insurance for us."
"If an accident does happen, even if the two of us are wiped out in the dungeon, , it’s good that someone is alive to pass on this news.”
At this point, Nicole’s eyes have completely changed to what an investigator should look like:
“Believe me, this is the best choice.”
