Chapter 161 Work outside the city
Early Saturday morning.
Ronald sat in his office in the suburban manor.
This weekend was not affected by the blizzard weather like last weekend.
The roads returned to normal and the sky was cloudless.
With the good weather, the number of people attending the exhibition has naturally returned to normal.
Judging from Ronald's visual inspection and mental calculation data.
The number of guests who came to the exhibition this morning was at least that of a medium-sized party.
You must know that the people who will come here are at least related personnel from the mysterious side.
Even the faces Ronald had seen the last time he attended the banquet appeared in two or three here.
In a sense, this can be regarded as a 'celebrity' gathering that is open regularly.
Watching people coming and going, visitors in all kinds of costumes entered and left the exhibition venue.
Ronald's work finally became normal again.
At least it's not like a train station or an investigator who encounters unexpected and shocking developments not long after taking office.
But,
although Ronald was sitting in the office, what he was looking at was indeed the endless stream of guests coming in and out of the mansion.
But Ronald's heart had already returned to Burrenwich.
To be more specific.
——No. 13, Linzhong Road.
——The home of the warden Bach Krichens.
curious? Worried? Confuse?
There are all kinds of moods.
But all in all, Ronald is very concerned about the current situation in Berenwich.
Last night, Swift did accept her commission.
Of course, Ronald would not be able to deceive the other party on key information by asking others to help him carry out dangerous tracking work. After all, unlike church members whose starting point is self-interest, Swift is entirely helping her own activities.
So except for Arida and the original book in his hand, Ronald basically described everything that happened on the Black Mountain to Swift.
Among them, he talked about seeing the dead body of Lumil.
Naturally, I told Mr. Detective clearly.
So with the work level of a professional like Swift.
How is he doing now?
Are there any new incidents in the city?
And what kind of reaction will the church administrators in Burrenwich make when they realize that their members are missing in the warden's mansion?
And will Lumil, who became the heir to the warden, and the 'ghost' warden make any other moves?
These are things that Ronald is quite concerned about now.
Moreover, there is a guy who has never shown his face.
——The force that had previously handed Ronald the coded letter.
This force has had no response since it sent the message to itself two weeks ago.
There is no trace of their activities in Burrenwich.
I haven't received any new news since then.
After conveying this news, they disappeared completely as if they had evaporated from the world, which was also puzzling behavior.
For the sake of social stability and people's safety, they should tell the investigation bureau.
If the purpose is related to yourself, now is the time to take some new actions.
Elusive rules of thumb.
"."
"Alas -"
Sitting on the chair, Ronald couldn't help but sigh.
Although I had been prepared before, after actually joining this complicated theater, the complicated things were still a bit confusing.
Bang, bang, bang -
At this moment, there was a sound outside Ronald's office, three rhythmic knocks on the door, which fully demonstrated the politeness of the visitor.
Immediately, a steady man's voice sounded outside the door:
"Mr. Ronald, is it convenient for me to come in now?"
Ronald immediately responded loudly:
"No problem, come in."
Immediately, the man outside the door pushed The door leads into the house.
This is the guard commander of the exhibition, whom Ronald has seen before.
——Hanson Edric.
He is Everton's most valued confidant in this suburban manor. During normal working days, that is, when the exhibition is closed, he is usually responsible for the entire management of the manor.
At this moment, when Hansen walked into Ronald's office, he was holding a black painted wooden box in his hand, which was tightly tied with a small lock to protect it.
The exquisite shape and materials themselves indicate that this wooden box has a certain value.
So, why did Hansen come to see him?
It's not like Everton realized that no one was messing with the exhibition, so they wanted to fire themselves!
Under Ronald's curious gaze, Hansen came in without speaking at first.
Looking around the room confidently, the guard took a step forward and placed the box in his hand on Ronald's desk.
Seeing the other party's actions, Ronald asked:
"This is"
facing Ronald's inquiry.
Hansen took out a key from his pocket and put it on the table before answering:
"Mr. Ronald, this is a very important treasure shipped directly from the Springs Commercial Headquarters. Mr. Everton decided to display this object as the core of the exhibition during the two days of exhibition next week."
Ronald asked:
"So you came to me now to confirm in advance?"
"No. Wrong." Hansen nodded, then pointed to the box and key on the table, "I came here in advance this week just to discuss its placement and related security issues with you." "Now
, I suggest you open it first and confirm the contents."
Ronald was silent for a moment. He did not open the box directly, but confirmed in advance:
"Looking at your cautious attitude, the contents inside should not be simple." "
What exactly is this? What is it?"
"."
Hansen did not make any other moves and simply explained:
"This is a unicorn horn."
"Whether it is used as a medium for casting spells, a material for making props, or some mysterious rituals. These are extremely rare and powerful magic items with excellent effects."
"Even because it is so precious, even if someone dares to steal it from our Chamber of Commerce, it is entirely possible." "
."
"Okay."
After hearing this explanation, Ronald nodded speechlessly.
Hansen's simple description contains a lot of meaning.
With the strength of the [Ginkgo Business Alliance], you can imagine how much risk you will take if you dare to steal things from under their hands.
From this we can see how high the real value of this thing is!
"For now, let's first consider the placement of the exhibits and the placement of guards during next week's exhibition."
Hansen nodded as usual:
"Of course."
So in front of Ronald In the office, the two began to discuss next week's work.
