Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 487 Tracking

Three days later, the old man found the Saffron Grand Tavern and the round-faced man introduced the old man to his boss. The leader hopes that the old man will become his own, and in the future there will be a reliable point of contact in Port Cobichous. But the old man shook his head and refused, saying that he was old and did not want to fit into the special department anymore, this time only helpful.

“The woman you're looking for has been found.” The old man said, "She took a little black dog and got off the Lipton passenger ship 17 days ago, around 10 a.m. on March 11, and stayed in the city until the afternoon, hiring a long-distance carriage at the carriage store in Newburton, Red Nose, to the town of Ankano. That's the railway station under Tyrsim, take the train to another jurisdiction, oh now it's called another state going there to buy tickets..."

“Railroad? What is that...” a big man curious to interrupt asked.

“Well, how do I put it?” The old man thought about it before answering: “It's that two railroads are laid on the road, and then a dozen cars are pulled by the train head to drive on the railroad tracks, day and night, effectively shortening the journey. For example, we're here in Langhu City, under Amphiston, for at least a dozen days or even a half months by wagon, but now it only takes three days by train. Also very convenient and fast to transport cargo, the number of cargo that can carry twenty or thirty four-wheel carriages in one carriage is very popular with merchants..."

A newspaper hit the face of the man interviewed, which was called the head of the big man. He hit the front page of the newspaper and printed a train pattern. The date was the end of last year's newspaper, and the title was to celebrate the completion of the South Four States Railway Line into its operational phase. The following news details the utility of railways and trains and the changes and developments brought about by passenger and logistics freight...

“Watch the news for yourself, don't worry about looking for women.” The leading man scolded and turned to the old man: “You said the woman stayed in town until the afternoon, where she went and who she was looking for. Do you know? ”

The old man nodded and replied: “The woman left the customs building with her puppy, took a taxi to the East City commercial street, saw the Restaurant bookstore, went in for an hour, mainly to buy maps of overseas autonomous territories, and bought two more tourist books. Speaking to the bookstore owner for more than 10 minutes, he called himself a pharmacist and went overseas to buy rare medicines.

When she came out of the bookstore, she went to Mills's restaurant, where she had lunch, where the bookstore owner recommended a large plate of beef. During the rainy season, the restaurant owner Daddy Mills had another rheumatism episode, and this woman gave Daddy Mills an ointment she made herself, which was very effective in relieving Daddy Mills' rheumatism pain. Daddy Mills bought all the ointment this woman was carrying with eight gold crowns.

And then after that woman left, someone asked Daddy Mills, "Is that ointment really working?" Daddy Mills pointed to his knee and said that after applying the ointment, he felt cool and comfortable. There was no more pain in the bone that ants were biting, and his knees were not swollen anymore, which meant that he would no longer have to fear the humid weather or sit in a wheelchair in the future.

Over the past half month, there have been a lot of people with rheumatism who have been looking for Papa Mills, trying to get a little ointment from him, all at a small price to a Golden Krone. The big bottle of ointment that the woman sold to Daddy Mills could fit for at least 30 years. Everyone said Daddy Mills made a fortune. But Daddy Mills didn't sell much, and he looked at the ointment very tightly, not easily, just like his own life.

After leaving the restaurant, the woman went to the Golden Rose Hotel downtown, asked for a room, took a bath, then left the room, went to the carriage store in Newburton with the red nose, hired a long-distance carriage to Ankano town, bought some food and drinks, took her puppy to the carriage and left overnight... "

“No, that woman has been out of the city for over half a month, and you can still paint a clear picture of her whereabouts in the city, not a lie?” The round-faced man next to him stared at the old man with suspicious eyes. It was suspicious that the woman had been in town for only half a day, and the rest of her actions were the same as those of the people who had just arrived in the city, except for the fact that treating the owner with rheumatism in a restaurant was noticeable. How could the old man so clearly depict all her itineraries in the city. You know, half a month has passed, and a lot of people have long forgotten if they saw this woman that day.

“If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do...” The old man stalled: “In fact, you're lucky. When this woman got off the passenger ship, she was portrayed. Single women like this can easily be the target of three hands who spend their days in the dock area. There was also a fight between the Ruby Brotherhood of the Port Cobichous Pier District and the mafia alliance of Vacas to fight for the rights of the woman.

Unfortunately, the fight-winning Vakas sent someone to follow the woman for half a day, never finding a chance to do it, and watched the woman get on a long wagon and leave. So Vakas' mafia alliance has been a big joke in the docks for most of the month, and the three hands say they just let a fat sheep go.

I just told you that the woman in the city got her whereabouts from the Mafia Alliance, and they followed that woman for half a day, knowing where that woman had gone and what she had done. In addition, they provided information that the dog the woman was carrying was very strange and spiritual, and that her chances of doing so had been sabotaged several times. ”

“Why don't you just go up and rob that mafia if you haven't found a chance to steal it?” The big man who was hit in the face by a newspaper asked.

The old man tried to laugh, but he held on, and he shook his head and said to the big men in the room, "You've been here three days, haven't you noticed how different this place is from other colonies? Even on the mainland of the kingdom, I assure you that you will find nowhere more policing and orderly than here. People who mix black here need agility and skill. The kind of highway robbery that you just said was a death, aggravating circumstance, getting caught and shooting directly on the side of the road...”

“Is it so harsh?” The round-faced man thought about it and said, "We've been wandering around town for the last three days, and I think it's a lively business atmosphere, very orderly. But when you say that, we haven't really seen a fight in broad daylight. So if we do a blood case in this town, disguise ourselves as that woman, and use our official powers to capture this woman, will you? ”

The old man's face changed dramatically: "Leave me out of this if you want to die. I've told you, it's not like any other colony. Your colonies in other countries use blood clues to lure local authorities there to help you hunt down that woman because local officials in other countries' colonies want to close the case as soon as possible, so follow the clues you left to search for that woman, and they don't care if she's innocent or not.

Unlike other colonies, criminal cases are handled by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Patrol Police, all of which are veterans of adjudication. It doesn't matter if you leave a clue, you just send yourselves into the trap they set up. It's very simple, if they look at the woman's itinerary, they can see that the woman is not the real killer, and they can use this woman or pretend that she lured you to hook up and beat you up again... "

“Speaking so brilliantly...” The big man headed it is also a little unbelievable.

“I can't help you if you don't believe me.” The old man sighed: "The Overseas Autonomous Territories are now completely different from the colonies of those countries on the West Coast and are even developing faster than the kingdom itself, at least monsters like railway trains have not appeared on the Farea continent. Don't watch you gather at the Saffron Lounge in three days, but I'm sure your whereabouts and every move will be in the eyes of your hearts, but you don't know it.

Your status here is as smugglers, so it's easy to keep an eye on you because there are countless smugglers on the West Coast who come to the Autonomous Territories to buy goods and sell them to the colonies of the West Coast countries. This has contributed greatly to the economic development of the Autonomous Territories and is why the Autonomous Territories have given preferential treatment to smugglers. If you are discovered not as smugglers, but as someone from a special division of the kingdom with other intentions, I'm sure you will find it difficult to walk here. ”

“How can we find the woman's whereabouts in the Autonomous Territory?” The leading man asked anxiously: "She left the city half a month ago. If we get to Ankaro town and get on the train, we don't even know she's going to go to that jurisdiction, how do we find her? In those colonies on the West Coast, we used to make blood plants on her, forcing her to hide under official hunts and to flee to expose her whereabouts..."

“You SWAT guys are a generation less than a generation.” The old man exclaims: “Is this the only bloody way to find someone? In fact, trying to find this woman's whereabouts is very simple, claiming to be a pharmacist like her, with a puppy, and a beautiful woman, wherever she goes, makes a very impressive impression, as long as she starts a little bit in words, even lets those who have seen her speak voluntarily about her whereabouts.

All you have to do is perfectly play the role of a smuggler, and by the way, ask the station's patrol officers, ticket vendors, train attendants, floor sweepers, etc. Exaggerate the woman's talent in medication, saying that you wanted to find her to buy that amazing cream for her father, who had been in bed for years with severe rheumatism. Your filial piety, your magical ointment, your mysterious female pharmacist, these can all be legendary stories, no one will be unhappy to help you find this woman...

It's just an obvious solution, and secretly you go to the gangs that are hanging around the station, threatening to seduce people, and I'm sure they'll tell you where this woman is soon. And finally, women pharmacists who come to overseas autonomous territories like this will be noticed by local patrol police departments, and if you can find a high-ranking figure in the patrol police department, with his introduction and help, you can easily grasp the woman's whereabouts. ”

When the old man had finished speaking, he got up and walked away, turning to the big men in the house and saying, “This is the last time I've served for half my life in the Kingdom Special Branch. Do my duty again, even if you don't know if you can count as a Secret Service. You don't have to come to me anymore. I've moved, and the shop is sold to the owner of the house. I intend to retire officially from today and no longer be part of this mess. ”

The old man grew up.

It took a while for the round-faced man to wake up. The old man clearly found it dangerous to stay with them, so he just got away with it, but he preferred to make such a big speech, as if he had suffered a great loss...

“This, this old man is so shameless, he clearly forgot his duties as a sneaky agent. The Kingdom's special services are prescribed, and while the SWAT is in operation, the latent agents of the mission must unconditionally cooperate with and assist the SWAT in fulfilling its mission...” The round-faced man is angry.

The leader waved: “Forget it, we don't know if we can still be SWAT people. The old man was right, we had been blindfolded by hatred, creating so many blood cases in the West Coast colonies, trying only to force this despicable woman out and use the colony's local bureaucracy to make it impossible for her to hide. Now that we have arrived at this overseas autonomous territory, we must be careful not to try anything further.

Let's see what the old man has to say, Egger. You take a group of people to Ankaro tomorrow and find out where that woman is. I'll wait here for two more days until Sinos' last group arrives. The old man's right, we've been stuck in this big tavern every day for over 20 years, and it's quite remarkable. By the way, Egger, tomorrow you're going to Ankaro Town not only to ask about the woman's whereabouts, but also to dress up as a smuggler. Ask more about the production price of merchandise and goods everywhere in the direct jurisdiction, making people feel like you're doing a business investigation... "

“Okay, boss, let's order a carriage first, and we'll go to Ankano tomorrow morning.” The round-faced man nodded back.

“Boss, we don't have to sell anything else, we're in the cigarette business. I promise we'll make a lot of money.” A long-faced man pulled a packet of sailor's cigarettes out of his pockets and threw them on the table: “Like this cigarette, it's powerful and a favorite of sailors and carriagers in the pub. A bag here only takes two sonars to buy. But if you go to those colonies on the west coast, you can sell a pack of riazos, which is five times the price..."

The head man directly removed the cigarette shell packaging, pulled one out of the torn mouth, took one of the two rough bamboo cigarette butts that accompanied both sides of the cigarette box, inserted the cigarette into the cigarette butt, skillfully lit the matches to ignite the cigarette butt, took a deep breath. The rest of the cigarettes were also quickly divided by the big men in the other room. The long-faced man finally took back his cigarettes, and found that only four cigarettes remained in the cigarette box.

"Silva, don't forget, we're not really here for a smuggling business, we're here to catch and kill the woman who has humiliated us all our lives, that identity is just our cover, understand? After washing away our shame, if you survive, I have no objection to you coming here and selling this cigarette to a West Coast colony. The problem is that you have to get a lot of cigarettes from a tobacco factory..."

Silva was the long-faced man who stumbled back into his pocket with an empty cigarette box: “I get it, boss. ”

The methods offered by the sneaky old man proved to be very effective, and soon the information from the woman with the puppy calling herself a pharmacist came together to the head of the big man.

“First, on the afternoon of March 12th, the woman arrived in the town of Ankano and bought a train ticket number 15 to Prince, Mormary, where she spent three days in the town, staying at the Grand Tavern of the Qinghe River. I haven't been out for the last three days, either shopping or staying in a tavern. I got on the train on the 15th afternoon on time..."

“The station manager in Princetown was very impressed with the woman because she came down from the box and asked him what transportation was more affordable, convenient and safe to use to get to Slinkas. The station administrator recommended his brother-in-law's carriage to him and sent the woman to Slinkas, a pharmaceutical production base under Mormary's administration, where she told the station administrator's brother-in-law that she was a pharmacist on the way to buy a shipment of medicines.

Obviously, boss, this woman doesn't realize that we've been tracking down overseas autonomous territories, and now she thinks she's safe, so she can go slowly to some pharmaceutical base to buy medicines. She then returned to Princetown on March 24 with two carriages full of medicines. Purchased a train ticket for the next day, even the medicines from the two carriages were shipped to Lane Lake City under Amphiston... "

“We'll be in Langhu soon.” The head man made the decision: “Now that the woman has bought two carriages of medicines, she should stay in Lanhu City for a while and dispose of them. I think we will soon find her whereabouts, this time we must not let her escape from our sight..."
