Chapter 284: The Great Robbery

Saturday morning at 8:00, the city-wide martial law in Tobeisk had been lifted, which made this Saturday of the Thunder Month, which should have been ordinary, abnormally lively.

People who had been trapped at home for a whole day walked out of their homes one after another. The hawking sounds in the city and the shouts of newsboys promoting big news were louder than ever before.

The sound of horse hooves and carriage wheels of rental carriages made a pleasant sound on the street, and the hurried and mixed footsteps made the city full of vitality.

The rising thin fog shrouded the city, and the chimneys on the outskirts of the city spewed black smoke toward the sky, but all this could not affect people's good mood. It was just that the actions of the City Hall and the church yesterday made the citizens who didn't know the truth terrified. The news that hundreds of people died overnight also cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

But fortunately, everything had returned to normal, and Tobeisk was shrouded in thin fog and sunlight again. Although it was not good weather today, people's moods were exceptionally good.

On Queen Mary Street, which was bustling in the west of the city, the morning light spilled on the street. The pedestrians coming and going did not disturb the quietness of the detached three-story building on the street at all. Perhaps this family was still sleeping to spend this unusual Saturday.

Xia De and Dr. Schneider, wearing black coats and black hats, appeared at the corner of the street. The two men were in a hurry, holding black suitcases in their hands, but in the lively crowd, they did not attract the attention of others.

Brushing shoulders with passersby, the carriage also drove past them slowly. The doctor and the detective stopped one after another at the door of No. 17 Queen Mary Street. Dr. Schneider walked up the steps under the eaves, and Xia De stood behind him, turning his back to the door and looking around the street.

Click~ with a sound, the keyhole covered by the blue-eyed doctor turned, and the door was opened.

The doctor pushed the door open a crack and walked in with his suitcase first. Xia De, who was on guard, holding a suitcase in his right hand and his left hand in his coat pocket, looked around, then turned and walked up the steps, entering the door against the crack.

Click~

The door was locked from the inside. The morning sun slanted on the steps at the door, and the pedestrians on Queen Mary Street did not notice what exactly happened at this moment.

The two men who entered the interior of No. 17 did not communicate with each other, put on shoe covers, wore gloves, and wore masks in the hall, and then entered the living room one after another.

Facing them, the fat maid wearing an apron walked over with a tray, looking at the two strangers in surprise:

"You..."

"Sleep."

The doctor said softly. Xia De quickly took the tray from the maid's hand and put them on a table on the side. The doctor carried the sleeping maid to the window and threw her directly into the alley on the side of the house.

Then he found the remaining two servants on the first floor, and after making them fall asleep, he threw them all out of the side window into the alley.

They did not stay on the first floor for too long, and the men holding the suitcases stepped on the stairs and came to the second floor.

There were six rooms on both sides of the second-floor corridor. The doctor walked toward the second room on the left, and after confirming that Xia De followed, he pushed open the room.

The young man who was sitting at the desk organizing his luggage looked at the door in astonishment:

"Who are you?"

"Her divination was indeed correct, and the information sold to me by the old man was also correct. He hired a Ringed Shushi to protect himself."

The doctor's dull and monotonous voice came from behind the mask.

"What do you want to do to my employer?"

"Leave here, your employer is related to the 【Lord of Blood Banquet】 cult. Correspondence Ringed Shushi of Zalas Literature Academy, if you don't want to cause trouble, leave here immediately."

"How do you know... forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. Everything here has nothing to do with me. It's really bad luck to encounter this kind of thing. I said why the hiring fee was so high. Damn it, I won't be summoned and questioned by the Academy, right."

The young man hurriedly closed the suitcase, passed by the two people wearing masks, and left without looking back.

Xia De and the doctor still did not communicate, nor did they search the second floor, but walked directly into the third floor. Xia De used the silence rune obtained from Yin Luna, and then kicked open the door near the stairs.

After opening the door, Xia De and the doctor shot inside together, and the three men in the room were beaten into sieves without even speaking.

"The desperadoes he hired to protect himself deserve to die."

The doctor lowered the muzzle, smoke rose, and the men's voices sounded very dull behind the masks.

Exiting the room with Xia De, they came to the door of the master bedroom on the third floor.

Knocking on the door, after the rude man's cursing sound came from inside, the doctor kicked open the door and walked in with Xia De:

"Whoever moves will be shot."

Two men aimed their guns at the four-poster bed.

The curtains in the room were drawn tight, making it unusually dim, and the air was filled with incense and a strange odor that could be smelled even while wearing a mask. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the clothes of a man and a woman lay tangled upon it; the belt of a police uniform was draped together with a woman's garter.

The four-poster bed hung with curtains. As Xia De, who was walking behind, turned on the gas lamp on the wall, the middle-aged fat man and the graceful woman who were not wearing clothes appeared behind the curtains.

The doctor held the gun in his right hand and tore open the curtains by the bed with his left hand. The woman screamed and hid in the quilt, while the middle-aged man shouted, and then his head was topped by the doctor's muzzle. He looked at the strangers who broke in here in horror.

"Lidevich Field Police Chief, Mr. Anthony Wograve?"

The doctor used his gloved hand to first shake Xia De's certificate, and then took a black and white photo from his pocket and looked at it after throwing it on the bed. It was a black and white close-up photo stolen from a special angle of the Police Chief.

"MI6? The money is in the safe next door, don't shoot, I am..."

"You don't have to answer."

The doctor's muzzle shook, and regardless of the Police Chief's lover screaming on the bed, he said to Xia De behind him:

"Go next door and search."

"Alright."

Xia De turned and walked out of the room. Dozens of seconds later, the sound of wall demolition came from the next room.

Boots hit the floor, and Xia De soon walked back. His left hand was holding a cloth bag full of banknotes, and his right hand was holding a plaster statue with ruby eyes.

"Found it, in the safe."

"Woman, give you three minutes to put on clothes and leave this house, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen."

The doctor's dull voice came from behind the mask. The woman, who was terrified to the point of paralysis, got up and grabbed the clothes on the carpet to leave the room, and the panicked footsteps disappeared at the stairs.

The doctor's gun-holding hand was very steady. The middle-aged man who was naked from the waist up was pointed at the top of his head by his muzzle, his hands raised high and not daring to move. His brown eyes kept looking at the two strangers wearing masks:

"Listen, gentlemen, I can give you money, I can give you..."

"Shut up! Kill you, first because you deserve to die."

The doctor's thumb slowly moved the hammer. The middle-aged man shook his head in despair, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could no longer make a sound at this time. Cooperating with 【Mercury Blood】, he fully understood what exactly the people in front of him were.

"Second, because you killed my client."

Xia De said, walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and opened the bedroom window.

The sunlight entered the room, making the abnormally white skin of the fat middle-aged man who was naked from the waist up seem to reflect light. The warm breeze of summer also blew into the room, but it did not make Anthony Wograve, who was pointed at by the gun, feel at ease at all.

"Third, do you know how much time and energy we spent looking for this thing?"

The doctor hit the Police Chief's face with the butt of the gun fiercely, and while the middle-aged man was groaning in pain on the bed, he dragged him to the window.

"You guy who brought me bad luck, lie here!"

Pressing the middle-aged man's head on the windowsill, the doctor took a ruby-like eye from Xia De's hand. After confirming that he was wearing three layers of special protective gloves borrowed from Priest Ao Gu Si, he slammed the glass-like ruby onto the windowsill. Immediately, bright red things seeped out from the broken glass.

It looked like gel as a whole, but also had some liquid components.

Xia De opened the suitcase and used an empty bottle prepared in advance to contain those liquids. The doctor observed the color of the blood-red liquid against the sunlight, then reached out and dipped some with his gloves, and roughly wiped it into the middle-aged man's mouth.

The Police Chief of Lidevich Field in Tobeisk immediately twitched, and abnormal blue spread from his mouth to his whole body.

"It is 【Forged Philosopher's Stone】, the poisoning situation is the same as the characteristics given by the Academy."

The doctor was then relieved.

"There are still some liquids on the windowsill, cannot be collected completely."

Xia De reminded while holding a small bottle filled with half, and the doctor glanced at the red gel and liquid droplets on the windowsill:

"No need to collect all, we want to tell the True God Church that we have nothing to do with the cult, just for this relic."

Letting go of the twitching Police Chief, the doctor opened his suitcase and took out a small bottle of brown liquid. This was the potion "Heart of Fire" taken from Priest Ao Gu Si. Calling it a potion, it was actually strong fire oil.

Xia De squatted on the ground and put the other "ruby" eye of the plaster statue and the small bottle filled with half into his suitcase.

With a click, the boxes were fastened at the same time, and the two men stood up facing the sunlight outside the window.

Xia De lifted the middle-aged man who was not dead yet to the windowsill with one hand, canceled the silence rune, and aimed at his head and shot.

Bang~

While the terrified screams on the street rose one after another, he grabbed the banknotes in the cloth bag and threw them out in handfuls. The wind took the dancing paper pieces to a farther place, and the banknotes falling in a flutter made the screams on the street even louder.

The doctor smashed the fire oil in his hand on the ground, and the two walked out of the room with suitcases. As the door was slammed shut, the doctor pointed backward from his shoulder, and a fierce fire exploded with a boom, black smoke billowing from the window toward the sky, and the chaos quickly spread to the entire block. ===== CHAPTER 285 =====
