The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

88 Sudden Attack
"Although you have accepted Athena's employment, don't forget, after my brother becomes mayor, who will the city listen to?" Faslag threatened the detectives.

The words really worked.

The malicious reminder softened the attitude of the detectives, and they all restrained their mocking eyes—but it didn't mean that they changed their eyes, they just turned their heads and stopped looking at Slugger.

Fasslag was satisfied with this effect, even if they were proud, they knew at this moment that they should not offend him.

It is an essential skill for a good officer to make people who are more talented than him bow to him.

He is a very good officer.

Besides, they owed him.

Fasslag, who had moved out of the city because of Athene Pruger's plans, and lived in this small town, deserved to be paid.

"Now tell me how she and my brother are progressing in this great cause? They have news for you. I see that your numbers have decreased. What is the new task?"

He crossed his legs and asked them.

"A small matter. We had some small disputes with government officials on the issue of land purchase. The size standards they used were different from those in other cities, which caused our reserve funds to become insufficient. Now Ms. Berruger asked us to Renegotiate with them in the past, or apply for more quota from the firm.”

Detective Hook told a lie to hide Fasslag from him.

The fact is that Caroline Coules didn't put much trust in the spider priest Athena Brugge. He secretly hired a small detective agency to investigate Athena Brugge, where the Hooke detectives could not see. details.

However, Caroline's foundation in the social circle of the aristocrats is still young, and his understanding of the other world is limited to that of ordinary people. He doesn't know what the consequences of letting that kind of third-rate detective who can't get in touch with the real world investigate a monster.If that detective lacked professional integrity and made the findings public, it could cause quite a stir.

It's not that the other world cannot be exposed, but being exposed by a third-rate detective will make Athena very unhappy.

The self-proclaimed secretive spider quickly discovered Carolin's tricks, so he sent a message ordering them to deal with the important member of the detective agency and recover all the clues by the way.

To be on the safe side, Detective Hook went to four people.

It must be more than enough to deal with detectives in small cities.

"I've quit drinking."

Bruno leaned against the back of the closet, poked his head out slightly to observe the door, and at the same time, his hand holding the flintlock pistol trembled slightly.

The body of an armed man was lying between the door frame from the living room to the bedroom, with blood pouring out from under his body.

There are more in the hall.

He didn't have a license to hold a gun. Of course, it was illegal to hold a gun, but he didn't care about that much at the moment. He even hoped that more people would notice the gunshots here.

The attackers were disguised, but he probably knew what they had to do with it.

It was the commission related to the Broken Wing Angel Club, which involved some extraordinary power, and his employer must have touched forces that should not be touched, so that someone wanted to eliminate the traces of this commission.

More than three armed men came to the door at night.

If Bruno hadn't been trying to quit drinking recently, and he suffered from insomnia as a non-drinker, he might have died in a drunken sleep tonight.

The closet was obviously not strong enough to withstand bullets, but that was also helpless, he couldn't find anything more suitable as a cover in the room.

It can't go on like this.

"Help!"

He yelled on the spot, and the sound came out of this old, dilapidated and small house, causing a commotion on the street in the early morning. Most of them were complaints from waking up from sleep, and I don't know if anyone came out to look.

Hearing Bruno's call for help, there was also a change in the hall.

The corpse that fell on the ground slid up, and in a corner he couldn't see, his accomplice was dragging him, and quickly moved him out, leaving only a dark red mass of blood stains on the spot, like blood red wall paint.

Then Bruno heard the sound of the door chain, and those people might be leaving.

That's right, after making such a big commotion, they were about to start a street shootout with the sheriff if they didn't leave. Dragging away the corpse was to prevent their identities from being exposed, which meant that their strength was still not enough to confront the sheriff head-on.

Bruno listened to the movement for a while, and quietly moved to the door to observe, only to be sure that there should be no one in the hall.

Except for the bloodstains dragging on the ground, everything was the same as before.

Because this house is really small, all the furnishings can be seen clearly at a glance, so there is no possibility that they are still hiding here to ambush him.

"The action is quite fast!"

He gave a sound, put down his flintlock pistol, and went to the door to go out.

Now is a good time to catch up.

It was time to switch the roles of attack and defense. Although there were at least three other people on the other side, they dragged a dead man on the street in the early morning, so they must have some concerns about their actions.

Bruno thought it was worth the risk.

His firm's address has been exposed. If he can't get rid of the other party today, he must guard against revenge every night.

Moving is useless.

He is a detective, and a detective must be famous to have clients, and if he is famous, he will inevitably reveal his address.

As long as these people are willing, he will never be able to do business.

just because these people exist
Bruno pushed the door with determination, but he failed to push it open, only the trembling door chain rattled.

Because of blurred vision due to staying up late, he stared at this part for a few seconds before he saw that one end of the door chain was hanging outside. After reaching the knot, a fixture was made on the outside wall to fasten the door chain.

In other words, he was locked inside.

The group of armed men also considered the possibility that he would catch up.

"I'll go to the yard!"

Bruno scolded, he took a few steps back, ran a relay and kicked the door panel.

It's a pity that this door chain was personally selected by him. Its thickness and firmness exceed those of ordinary products on the market, and there is no deformation at all.

Moreover, with the loud sound of his kicking the door, heat and black smoke poured in from the crack of the door.

Bruno was taken aback.

Because he never expected that someone would set fire to the city.

He rushed back to the bedroom almost like crazy, then opened the window and jumped out, even if he sprained his ankle because of it.

It was impossible for him to go after those people again.

If the house burned down, that debt would end his life faster than a gun.

After landing on the ground, Bruno limped towards the main entrance on the first floor, took off his clothes and beat the fire source, with little success.Fortunately, his previous cry for help still caused some people to go out to watch the movement. With their help, the fire was quickly suppressed.

The flames had burned through the paint on the floor and blackened the bricks below, but otherwise nothing was missing.

The detective was relieved at this time, because it was a loss he could afford.

After thanking the neighbors, Bruno dealt with the problem of the door chain, then quickly returned to the room, packed up all the evidence and weapons related to the Broken Wing Angel Club, and went out with a suitcase.

He's going to report it to the sheriff.

Even if he lost his job with Caroline because he couldn't keep it secret, he still had to solve this hidden danger.

If he can't, he can only escape from the city.

On the way, Bruno hurriedly walked, looking for a hired carriage that was willing to open so early in the street.

However, the carriage was not in sight, but he happened to see Sanders' familiar short body swaying towards him.

It was an employee of the firm, his assistant - a reliable old chap.

Bruno greeted him.

"Brother Sanders, there is no need to go to the office, someone is messing with us, today."

The detective's speech gradually slowed down, and he noticed that the dwarf's expression was not right.
