Chapter 411 Suburbs
Chapter 411 Suburbs
In film and television dramas, there are often similar scenes like this——
Following the good guys to find clues, you may have to drag yourself from the "first season" to the "final season".
But by getting clues from the bad guys, sometimes with a quick turn of the camera, the protagonist can directly reach the outside of the final BOSS's "cave".
They say "life is like a play".
Wayne's feelings today are actually roughly similar.
Luke Matthew had a "physical examination" in the cathedral for a long time. Although he was confirmed to be a Level 0 Extraordinary in the "Sacred" realm, he did not find any solid problems.
Moreover, the cathedral neither explicitly rejected Wayne's charitable proposal, but at the same time it also did not directly address the detective agency's subsequent idea of "contracting" part of the church's cheese.
After returning to Georgeburg,
Wayne called on a few "stealth professionals" from the detective agency and followed the address given by Mr. Weisman to find a manor that was not too "suburban". There they soon saw the two attackers who had tried to visit the detective agency at night last night.
So far, the detective agency's file collection work is still in its "early stages".
However, because Seth has been doing these clerical jobs, and with the assistance of beautiful girls with excellent memory like Inissa, at least some of George Berg's basic information has barely taken shape by now.
For example, the manor where Wayne and his friends found someone.
According to the records in the exorcism department's files, it was a local property of a wealthy man in South Carolina.
Perhaps because it is not too far from the city, the total area here is relatively small compared to those large manors that pursue the so-called "rural style".
There are no small plantations or mills, and it doesn't look like a good place to ride horses.
However, the buildings inside are luxurious at all. The main house and the villa are hidden by lush trees in a spacious courtyard, with neatly trimmed flower beds and lawns.
Judging from temperament alone, she seems a little "unproductive".
Rather than a "landlord", this place is more like the residence of a "merchant".
Perhaps because there was no need to take care of those less practical auxiliary facilities, the manor did not seem to have too many servants.
Only two or three gardeners and gardeners were busy in the courtyard, and the rest were probably in the main house or the villa.
Wayne and his companions were lucky. After they entered the manor, they found the two attackers from last night in the annex.
The two guys seemed to be quite relaxed, smoking, drinking and playing billiards in a room that looked like an entertainment room.
Lina took out two steel wool balls from the side and asked, "Should we just tie them up and take them back?"
"Breaking into a private residence in broad daylight. I don't think this is a good idea."
Wayne dug out the Georgeburg map with various annotations in the bushes and thought for a while. "It seems that they will not leave here at least today, and they are staying in the villa. Let's confirm who the owner of the manor is first."
Many files in the Exorcism Department were actually backed up from places like the City Hall or the Police Station.
Although the information is available, its accuracy is hard to say.
For example, the detective agency’s current courtyard, according to the records, is still registered under the name of the landlord, but in fact it is currently used by Wayne and his team.
Several agents headed towards the annex and the main house.
Damon MacCready and Willy teamed up to find a window and quietly climb into the seemingly relatively deserted annex.
Liam, who had a rare opportunity to show off his abilities, started to act according to the "Chameleon" plan, intending to use his extraordinary abilities to sneak into the main house in broad daylight.
Wayne and Lina were looking around in the bushes with binoculars.
The two of them appeared in Georgeburg relatively frequently, so it would not be good if they ran into acquaintances.
Big Spider Peter is relatively free.
Soon he disappeared without a trace. …
The owner of the manor doesn't seem to be at home today.
However, it was soon confirmed that there was something wrong with the manor.
In the detective agency, simple schematic diagrams were drawn one after another and placed on the table in the meeting room.
Liam tried to follow the detective agency's style and used one of the sheets to make a key report:
“There is a basement at this location on the first floor of the manor house. Judging from the layout, it might have been a wine cellar or a special storage room.
"My extraordinary ability felt disturbed after I got close to it. I can confirm that there is an influence of extraordinary power. But the entrance is a double locked door, and there are servants walking around nearby. I can't enter without being discovered."
After a rough investigation, Wayne and his team returned to the detective agency in two groups.
The people who took over the position were Doug, Connor and "Strange Sound".
The birds were responsible for keeping an eye on the two guys and flying back to inform the main force when they left the manor.
As for Connor and the "strange noise", it's mainly just in case.
There were thirteen servants in the manor today, eight male servants and five female servants.
Their identities are still unknown, but the guy who looks like a butler and at least four male servants all look alert and capable.
There is no way to confirm whether the other party is a Beyonder for the time being, but judging from his temperament, he at least has the quality of a bounty hunter.
Inissa looked at the name of the manor owner marked on the map, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head:
"From the newspapers and files I've read recently, it seems that this person has no overt connection with Cohen Pharmaceuticals.
"Although we cannot rule out the possibility of falsification or deliberate concealment of experience, there does not seem to be any overlap between his public resume and that of Mr. Baker or Mr. Weissman."
This is a bit strange...
The address of the manor was given by Mr. Weissman. It is normal that it has nothing to do with him.
The two guys who attacked the detective agency last night were neither of the currently wanted criminals on the market nor did they leave immediately. Either they had a mission that had not been completed yet, or they used the place as a temporary "safe house."
According to Mr. Weissman, Mr. Baker had visited there secretly.
The two attackers from last night also showed up there today.
Rounding it off, the probability that it is related to Cohen Pharmaceuticals or Mr. Baker is not low.
Cohen Pharmaceuticals is not a spy organization, so it shouldn't hide its relationship so deeply...
Wayne thought about it for a while, then quickly gave up thinking about it.
This kind of thing may be hard to figure out even if you rack your brains, so it's better to wait until those two guys leave the manor and find a chance to catch them and ask them about it.
The situation of the manor has not been clarified yet, so there is no need for the detective agency to carry out any high-risk operations.
Otherwise, if the servants inside fought back, they would not be able to tell whether the other party was an unwitting and legitimate self-defender, or an accomplice who colluded with the attackers.
Night soon fell again. Without an owl on duty tonight, the agents on duty could only keep watch more carefully.
One of Doug's pigeons came back from dinner.
Wayne grabbed a handful of beans and fed it, then untied the small note tied to its leg and took a look.
Ok? !
