Ella and Melanie were transported into one of the warehouses. She noticed that there were about five or six people in this warehouse. Most of them were young and beautiful girls, and the youngest was no more than eleven or twelve years old.
An older man took out a pen and paper, listened to the thug's dictation and began to record the cargo information.
It didn't take long for his expression to become serious.
"Reporter and her bodyguard? Idiots! How dare you cause such trouble? They are not poor people from Batignolles. If they disappear for a few days, they will probably call the police!"
"But she beat me, old Hendler! Is that all there is to it?"
A man with a bandage on his head and braces on his arms came limping over. He kicked Ella so hard that the latter could hardly help making a sound.
"Well, Vectturnian, you can send a letter to that newspaper. Threatening them for a ransom, we will try our best to settle it privately, so it will still be within our rules."
Victurnian stomped on Ella's calf again,
"It's cheaper for her!"
At this time, a thug whom they were not very impressed with put down his cart and walked over.
"You are old Hendler? Now tell me in detail about the so-called first warehouse and second warehouse."
"who are you?"
Hendler asked cautiously,
"Why are you asking these idiotic questions, wait... I don't seem to have seen you."
The blond young man smiled and said,
"What are you talking about? Didn't you introduce me, we are old friends."
The guard in Hendler's eyes disappeared little by little, and he patted himself on the head as if remembering something.
"Oh yes, there is such a thing. What do you want to know, old friend?"
Hyde smiled brightly,
"I want to know a lot about—"
"But before that, there's Victurnian over there, isn't it? I think you need to find a club and break your right leg. Don't waste a moment, go."
Vectturnian first showed a look of confusion and anger, but he sat back before he could utter a single curse word.
"Yes, you are quite right, I really should break my right leg."
Several girls huddled in the warehouse looked at each other. In their opinion, this sunny young man was undoubtedly a big shot in the Belleville Party.Even if he gave such an order, no one would dare to resist him.
Victunian found half a broken brick from somewhere.
"Sorry, I couldn't find the stick, but this thing should break my bones too."
"It's ok."
After getting the answer, the big man began to deal with his right leg silently.
One after another, without hesitation.
In the eyes of those girls, Hyde's sunny smiling face was like the devil in the story.
Chapter 53 Legal Slaves
Ella turned over and sat up, the hemp ropes wrapped around her hands and feet had already been cut by the invisible flames.
"I wasn't injured, so wouldn't this be a little too harsh?"
She even felt that the kicks were due to the side effects of the Ring of Pride, which made her passively provoke Vecturlian while pretending to be asleep.
"With that person's style, who knows how many people he has hurt before this."
"Too."
Ella nodded and stopped asking.
Old Hendler felt a little strange about the conversation between the two, but there seemed to be a voice in his mind emphasizing to him that everything was completely normal.
"Okay, old friend, tell me first, what are Warehouse No. [-] and Warehouse No. [-]."
According to common sense, it is impossible for Hendler's old friend to be ignorant of this basic question, which should definitely be a doubt.
But the old man seemed unaware of this.
"Warehouse No. [-] is slaves that can be sold for a good price. The guys in Warehouse No. [-] are all poor ghosts with insufficient documents. After blood is taken, they are useless. Then they will be released."
"Blood sampling?"
Hyde and Ella repeated in unison, they looked at each other, and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"Yes, blood sampling."
Old Hendler looked a little dissatisfied.
"I don't know what's going on with the boss. In the past few days, every brother has been asked to turn in blood. It's nothing the first time, but who can bear it after a long time? We can only collect some from those poor ghosts."
He complained lazily,
"The business in the No. [-] warehouse is not very good. In recent years, those old customers have lost contact one by one..."
"That's normal."
Hyde sneered, and he sarcastically said in a disgusted tone:
"Who would buy slaves among the nobles or wealthy businessmen nowadays? If there is such a perverted need, why not find a way directly from the workers?"
According to Hyde, the slave trade had become an illegal business in Paris because of the Abolition of Slavery Acts enacted six years earlier.
Perhaps before the Second Republic was replaced by the Empire two years ago, there would still be some nobles who would take advantage of the loopholes in the laws that were not very strict and use slaves in private.But since the president was honored as emperor two years ago, fewer and fewer people dare to do so.
But the irony is that, compared to the illegal buying and selling of human beings, getting ideas from workers is protected by law.The workers' children who were sold into the compound just had a more civilized name.
"That sounds...disgusting."
Ella sighed.
She unshackled the girls and said:
"You can go home, go to the police, go to your parents."
"What on earth are you..."
"We are also detectives from the police department. All you need to do is go to the police station in the Batignolles region and report Melanie Raffaelli's name."
Hyde asked Hendler a few more questions, and learned that Hendler's identity was only the person in charge of Warehouse No. [-]. Their leader, who is also the general leader of the Belleville Party in Batignolles, is now in the courtyard in the tallest building.Other than that, he doesn't know much.
"By the way, Hyde, when you use the sigh of the neglected, Melanie should not be able to see you, right?"
"Yes, I thought you shouldn't be able to see it..."
Hyde shrugged, looking a little disappointed.
"Okay, then I should wake her up and let her protect those girls and leave.
Ella took out a potion and brought it to Melanie's nose.
Miss Detective twitched her nose, then sneezed, and quickly bounced off the ground.But because the ropes on his hands and feet hadn't been untied, he fell back heavily.
She quickly came to her senses and recited a spell to free herself from the rope.
"Where were we sent?"
Melanie moved her arms and legs and looked around.
At this point, Vecturlian had successfully knocked himself to the bone and passed through the pain.Old Hendler sat on the chair with a dazed expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The Belleville party is in the lair of Batignolles. The gang intends to sell us as slaves for money. In addition, I have a lot of windfalls. Your instinct is right. This country gang really has a problem."
"What happened to them?"
Melanie deserves Victurnian and old Hendler.
"I asked them some questions, and I just used small tricks in the process of asking."
small means...
Melanie's face turned pale, and she found that the man who had passed out on the ground had his right leg twisted at a strange angle.
"Oh, that's self-defense. He meant to force us before."
Melanie's face turned from white to green.
"Nobody touched me, did they?"
"Of course, who asked me to be your bodyguard... By the way, you can take these children to the police station and say that the Belleville Party is involved in the slave trade. Bring a few more people later, and finally So that the executor in charge of this area can also be called, this place is indeed related to dirty blood."
Ella's voice was very vague, and only Melanie, who was closest to her, could barely hear her clearly. This was to avoid unnecessary trouble for those girls to hear important information.
"Okay...wait, what about you?"
Melanie froze for a moment, she just had the illusion of accepting the order of the superior executor, and it took a while to realize it.
"I will keep an eye on the people here, don't worry, I can protect myself."
"be careful."
Melanie stopped talking nonsense and led the six girls away quickly.The dozen or so thugs near the No. [-] warehouse were powerlessly asleep, and even if someone escaped in front of their noses, they couldn't wake them up.
Some sweat oozed from Hyde's forehead, and it was a bit exhausting for him to quickly manipulate the spirits of more than ten people.
He took the magic potion thrown by Ella, drank it dry and praised it.
“The effect is better than before”
Hyde showed far more strength than before, you know, the ring of the arrogant is now in Ayla's hand.He completed the suggestion and mental manipulation without the help of this alchemy item.
"Return the ring to you, I'm still not good at spiritual magic."
Ella took the brass ring off her thumb and gave it back to Hyde.
"Let's go and see the No. [-] warehouse and their leader."
Hyde suddenly smiled, and said with some freshness and nostalgia:
"This is a long-lost cooperation? I almost forgot that we were members of the same executor team."
As she spoke, she put the ring back on her index finger.
