Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 116 Playing the role of the instigator
The dock area in August is the busiest time of the year.

The early-harvested grains in Jianhai County and East Chester County need to be transported to various places as soon as possible, and the industrial products and specialties they need must also be transported upstream from Pritz Harbor through Backlund and Tingen City upstream.

Tingen City, located at the confluence of the two important waters of the Loen Kingdom, the Hoy River and the Tassock River, is a transit point for water transport in the entire eastern part of the Loen Kingdom.

The middle-aged man opposite Angel focused on the busy scene outside the window.

"It used to belong to the Mutual Labor Society, didn't it?"

Taking a sip of her coffee, she asked with a smile.

Looking back, the man's sharp eyes fell on Angel.

"Are you asking me out just to poke someone's sore spot? Then I think you've already done it."

"How could it be, Vaughn, after Chairman Jike was arrested, you are already the actual controller of the Mutual Aid Society. I came here to help you solve the problem."

Angel let his voice have a hint of temptation, and replied softly.

The middle-aged man who once gave a speech in front of the warehouse of the Labor Mutual Aid Association and directed his subordinates to try to arrest Angel is no longer the style he was then, but is troubled by trivial matters, with a tired expression on his face.

Vaughan seemed annoyed that he was seen through by the other party, rubbed his short brown hair angrily, took out the cigarette case from the pocket of the wrinkled coat that was poorly cared for, hesitated for a moment and put it down again.

"That's right," he pursed his lips, and finally said in a slightly rough voice, "Jike left this mess, and my subordinates pushed me to the position of president to fight for their interests, but More people are not convinced, making it difficult for my orders to be carried out."

"But what does it matter to you, eh?"

Vaughn's gray eyes were locked on the hood in front of him, and the muscles of his arms were constantly contracting and relaxing, stretching the coat tight, as if he was about to throw a violent attack in the next second, and kill this mysterious woman who dared to speak out.

"Of course it's related, and it's not a small one." Angel looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the table by the window in the coffee shop, so he pretended to be mysterious and continued in a low voice.

"Jike made a mistake to expose himself and was arrested in Enmat Port. We partners are also very anxious. Although the gang that occupies your territory, the Wild Bear Gang that was driven out of the dock area by you, is now more powerful than you, and opened There are better conditions, but we are still willing to give priority to the gangs we have cooperated with."

"The premise is that you have rectified the internal affairs, twisted into a single rope, and find a way to get rid of the Wild Bear Gang, otherwise you will not be able to accept our commission."

Hearing "continue to cooperate", Vaughan was a little restless. He repeatedly opened and closed the iron cigarette case, his eyes wandered, and his face was uncertain.

"Then what do you want to get out of it?"

he asked hesitantly.

"Of course it's business as usual. You do what you should do. You only need to help us transport some sensitive materials occasionally. Don't ask too much, just take the money."

"Without these benefits, how long can your mutual aid society last just by collecting money from the poor people on the pier? Three months? Half a year? Before next spring, the entire pier area will belong to the Wild Bear Gang, and then I will find them to cooperate also the same."

Angel added the last piece of weight.

Taking a deep breath, Vaughan refocused his gaze on Angel and nodded.

"For the sake of Jike, and for the sake of those brothers under him not to be bullied by the Grizzly Gang... Tell me in detail, what should you do?"

Having found enough excuses for his behavior, the confusion in his gray eyes has been replaced by greed, his body leans forward, and his words are full of desire for power and money.

When Vaughan's tall figure left his sight, Angel left through another door of the coffee shop.

"Very well, this way both of them are settled..."

She muttered to herself, pulled up her hood to hide her face, and got into a hired carriage.

"Go to the North District, Champagne Street."

After giving instructions to the coachman in the carriage, Angel closed his eyes, feeling the "Instigator" potion that had begun to slowly digest in his body.

Early this morning, she met with the heads of the "Wild Bear Gang" and the "Labor Mutual Aid Association" successively. Using the information acquired from the Jules Detective Agency and the police's internal investigation report on the gangsters in Tingen City, she completed the investigation. "Abetment" to these two gangsters vying for the Quayside:
Using the peace talks as an excuse, invite the other party's leadership to negotiate, and then take the opportunity to get rid of them, seize the territory and annex the other party's industry while the other party is in chaos.

For the leaders of the two gangs, she made the same arrangement, making them all think that with the help of Extraordinary power, they would be able to win the next battle with certainty.

Next, as long as she goes to the police headquarters in Tingen City and uses her identity as a trainee inspector to make a report, she will be able to arrest the two gangsters on the spot when they are negotiating openly and preparing for the "beheading operation" secretly.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from within the police from tipping off and alerting the two gangsters, she would go to the police station at the last minute.

If everything goes well, the police will get the results, the dock area will lose two scourges, and the world where only the gangsters are injured will be achieved.

Most importantly, she can also use this to successfully play the role of "instigator".

According to the previous summary of how to act as an assassin, now Angel can be sure that Cole's role as an assassin and abettor before being promoted to a witch is also effective for her now.

That is to say, she only needs to act a little bit quickly, and she can quickly digest the new "Instigator" potion in her body, and she is ready to be promoted to "Witch" again.

If all goes well, maybe by September, she will be able to become a "witch" again...

Champagne Street, North District, Jules Detective Agency.

This time it was another private detective who received Angel.

"Mr. Jules went to the South District to investigate another commission, but don't worry, he went there after completing your commission. All the 'red chimney' houses in the urban area and suburbs of Tingen are here."

Compared with other colleagues, this elegant and easy-going detective is more like a clerk who sits in an office all the year round, and he is also very efficient in organizing files.He quickly sorted out and bound nearly a hundred pages of paper reports, and handed them over to the commissioner.

Angel glanced through it briefly, and found that the document was very neat and detailed. It not only classified all the target buildings by district and street, but also recorded the landlord and tenant information she needed. Marked additionally.

Considering that the commission was completed in only 3 days, the Jules Detective Agency must have used a double-digit manpower to travel all over the city in time to conduct a detailed investigation.

Satisfied, she counted out the balance of 15 pounds and handed it to the detective in front of her.

"Thank you, please sign this, and the commission will be officially completed."

The detective took the gold pound, carefully put it away after verifying the authenticity, took out the power of attorney signed by Angel before, and asked her to sign it, ending the whole commission.

"By the way, what did Detective Buz Jules go to the South District to investigate this time? I also want to thank him in person."

After signing his own name, Angel asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Well, this belongs to the customer's privacy, it's not easy to disclose..."

The detective looked troubled.

"Learn more, so I can do publicity for you." Angel slightly used the "persuasion" ability of some instigators, "Actually, I was recommended by your former client, Mrs. Green. This kind of word of mouth, Works better than any ad.”

"That's right, I can only tell you a little about the general situation, and I can't involve the specific information of the customer."

The detective was easily persuaded.

"There is an enterprise called 'Langerus Iron and Steel Company' in the southern district, which has raised a large amount of funds for the development of iron ore. Many wealthy people in Tingen City have invested in this project. Recently, the owner of the iron and steel company, the owner of the investment project The initiator, Lanwusi, absconded with money."

"So those investors entrusted you to find clues and find that Lanerwusi?"

Angel originally just asked casually, but now he is really interested.

"Yes, the entrusted amount is very generous. If you find the clue, you will get 10 pounds, and if you help the police catch him, you will get more than 100 pounds, so..."

"So you all went into battle?"

Angel looked at the detective agency office which was empty except for the receptionist and the detective who received clients, and joked.

"Isn't that what's left of me..."

The detective replied with some embarrassment.
