Game of Destiny: This player is different.

What was even more painful was that he was stupid enough to admit it himself.

Being cheated out of the truth in a very superficial way by a young man who was clearly decades younger than himself.

It's all because of my money-greedy character.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Qin Nuo's silence put a lot of pressure on Duncan.

As an old fritter, he is not afraid of the Night's Watch.

Rochester is well-mannered, even the two official organizations of the Knights and Night Watch are no exception.

But the person in front of him clearly has something to do with the detective.

If it is true as the rumors say, it will be difficult to handle.

A detective with an unscrupulous style of acting, once he has a huge night watchman organization as his backing.

Wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings added, even if your own house is demolished in public...

Thinking of this, Duncan gritted his teeth.

The money can be refunded, but the loss must be stopped.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Nuo with his pupils: "The transaction has always been to pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

Since that Mr. Detective is your friend, I can refund part of the difference.

But as a half-businessman, you're going to let me make some money..."

Words came out of his mouth and Duncan's heart was bleeding.

A few seconds of silence.

Qin Nuo said calmly, "So I only need 857 shillings."

"You are extorting!"

Duncan's eyes were bloodshot: "You know that the exorcism gun costs 500 shillings, but I only charged your friend 1000 shillings. How could there be a price difference of 857 shillings!"

Qin Nuo was indifferent, and explained the real situation: "It is indeed 857 shillings, because my friend not only bought an exorcism gun, but also bought 35 rounds of mercury bullets from you.

一枚水银子弹折扣优惠9先令5便士，差价10先令5便士，合计332先令5便士。

Exorcism guns are discounted at Sh475, a difference of Sh525.

The total is 857 shillings and 5 pence, and I even asked for at least 5 pence. "

Duncan was at a loss for words.

It turns out that the same group of people bought the gun and bought the bullets. No wonder the distance between the front and rear feet is so short.

The expression became awkward, and finally compromised with a sigh.

"Well... who made me respect the Night's Watch.

Please wait a moment, I'm going upstairs to get the money now. "

Duncan got up helplessly and left the chair.

Followed by Qin Nuo's eyes, he stepped up the dusty wooden stairs and walked into the dark second floor.

The door opened and closed, and two footsteps entered it.

"How did you..."

"I don't think you will give money honestly."

Qin Nuo, who followed upstairs silently, said quietly.

Chapter 363 After dark (45), during the rainy season, when strange demons are active

"How could I not pay it back? The most important thing in business is reputation!"

Smith Duncan was taken aback, stepped back to the wall in two steps, and shouted sternly: "And this is my home, have you ever seen a person who doesn't even want a house for a few hundred shillings?!

Okay, wait outside, I'll give you the money as soon as I find it. "

Talking and pushing, the door opened.

With the ear-piercing friction of the latch, Qin Nuo and Duncan were separated by the wooden door.

The bedroom was quiet again.

"Huh~ Is this person a cat? He doesn't make any sound when he walks."

The retired exorcist patted his chest and looked in a certain direction with lingering fear.

The room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a locked door in the middle.

Take out the key, open the door and enter.

Soon, there were rummaging sounds from the messy inner room full of unknown sundries and wooden boxes.

I saw Duncan kneeling in front of a certain box, digging his head into it for a while to rummage.

The noise faded away, and a wooden box with similar shape but countless times smaller was brought out.

He put the box into his arms, closed the lid of the big wooden box and locked it before retreating to the outer room.

Compared with the crowded inner room, the outer room is much simpler.

The wooden bed, wardrobe and two bedside tables are all.

Duncan threw himself on the bedside table and opened the drawer.

A cabinet full of gold and silver jewelry appeared in front of my eyes.

Randomly picked up a few pieces and threw them on the bed, and there were a few marks sunken in the bedding.

"Is it too deliberate?"

Duncan muttered to himself, and returned the jewelry to the cabinet.

Pull the drawer out a little, just enough to ensure you can find it when you open the door.

The jewelry is the same as the Xibei sold in cheap stores.

If you don't distinguish carefully, you can indeed get away with it.

Each piece costs 1 shilling, and you can get a [-]% discount for bulk purchases.

This is Duncan's little trick to guard against thieves. When the other party finds the jewelry, he will subconsciously search the cabinet, and then flee in a hurry with the fakes.

The real valuables in the back room can be spared.

It's just that the law and order on Oak Street is good, and the so-called fake bait has not come in handy until today.

Even though the counterfeit jewelry was cheap, Duncan still had heartache in the corner of his eyes.

After all, a full chest would cost at least twenty shillings.

"Maybe he didn't take it after he found out it was fake jewelry."

Muttering like this, he moved to the window of the outer room, struggling to move his lack of exercise.

One leg stepped out of the window, stepped on the bricks and tiles on the top of the eaves, and slowly poked out: "Go to other places to avoid the limelight, the night watchman can't keep paying attention to me.

I'll come back when he's busy with other things..."

"So where do you hide so that you won't be found by the night watchman?"

A steady voice sounded.

"Good question, as a lawyer, I have helped many rich people, many of whom are small nobles who set up factories outside the city.

As my personal lawyer and ex-exorcist, they should be happy for me to live there"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Duncan stiffened his neck and looked at the source of the voice.

Wearing a deerstalker hat, the man with black hair and black eyes bowed and squatted lightly and steadily on the bricks and tiles outside the window.

Are you really human...

Duncan wept and mourned, and thumped and slumped on the ground.

"The most important thing in doing business is reputation?"

Qin Nuo jumped lightly and got into the room through the window.

The soles of the shoes touched the ground, and the strong arms directly pulled the opponent up: "I think you seem to be ready to run?"

"No, no!"

Duncan shook his head like a rattle, and denied it flatly: "The rainy season is coming soon, I will check the roof for leaks!"

"Do you need to bring this to check for water leaks?"

Qin Nuo's sharp eyes fell directly on the small treasure box: "It seems that there is a lot of money in it, and it happens that I am short of money recently."

"You can't do that!"

Duncan covered his chest, his face flushed red: "This is illegal, I want to call the police!"

"Well, that's right."

Qin Nuo nodded, and thoughtfully said: "If it's a strange demon, I don't think the police will be able to control it.

It just so happened that I caught a strange monster yesterday and I haven't had time to deal with it yet. "

Saying that, a glass bottle was taken out of his pocket.

The bottle is not big, and the gray-white mist filled in it billows back and forth.

If you look carefully, you can find a floating hideous face appearing and disappearing from time to time.

It was the illusion monster captured from Raul's cellar last night.

"Yes, sorry, I was too impulsive.

857 shillings I'll give you now. "

Duncan, who hadn't dealt with strange demons for a long time, immediately shivered.

"More than that, I just checked the drainage pipe for you, and I have to pay an extra 143 shillings."

Do not--

An emotion called "despair" boiled in Smith Duncan's chest.

But the strange monster in the bottle obviously frightened him even more.

Back on the first floor, the retired exorcist slowly took out the small treasure chest, unscrewed the lock, and then sped up his movements suddenly.

Open the lid, take out the money, and close the lid, all in one go.

Five starched £5 notes were pushed to the edge of the desk.

Qin Nuo shook the greasy smell on it, turned around and raised the money above his head towards the glass.

Under the light, the left side of the £10 banknote clearly reflects the head of Leonard I.

It's real money.

Seeing this situation, Duncan, who regards money as his life, felt even more painful, turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it again: "Promise me, take good care of them.

It will be the rainy season soon, don't let them get wet, and put them in the safest place if you encounter strange monsters..."

Qin Nuo's steps were suspended in the air, without looking back, he asked, "Is the rainy season special?"

"Every rainy season is the most active period for strange demons, and it is also the time when exorcists have the most headaches."

Duncan immediately covered his mouth, turned around and glared: "Damn! This is important information, you can't just listen to it without paying!"

jingle jingle-

The wind chime swayed, and Qin Nuo's back disappeared behind the door.

The dull slamming of the door frame was his payment.

value, zero.

...

"All of a sudden there is money again."
