Chapter 61 Bookstore
Dark night in Igwynte, White Pearl Street.
After cleaning up the scene, the two men in black quickly left the scene. They climbed out of the window, dived into the shadows, and then quickly turned left in the alley on White Pearl Street and moved forward.
After carefully circling in the dark for a long time, the two men in black finally moved towards their goal. They walked to the end of a long and narrow alley and entered a building through a back door.
After passing through a dimly lit corridor, the two men in black came to a spacious room with many bookshelves lined with old books. A decadent smell permeated the air.
At this moment, between the bookshelves, there was a bald, hunchbacked old man standing. When the two men in black saw him, he immediately knelt on one knee and started talking.
"Mr. Clifford..."
"What's the situation?" After hearing his men's words, Clifford said slowly, and the two men in black in front of him also answered quickly.
"We went to see Cole, and he did receive Mr. Burton's belongings at noon today, and it was this thing..." As he spoke, a man in black handed a pocket watch to Clifford. Clifford took it and observed it carefully for two seconds, then frowned and spoke.
"This is indeed Burton's stuff, so did Kohler see the seller's appearance clearly?"
"No, Cole said that the other party was a slightly taller man, masked, carrying a gun, and a ruthless character. Cole himself was robbed by him." The man in black continued to report. Listening to his words, Clifford couldn't help but snorted in response.
"Hmph... Most likely he wanted to trick the other party but ended up meeting a tough guy. Where are the Kema people now?"
"That guy was disobedient and wanted to fight back, so we killed him and sent his body back with talismans." The man in black continued to answer. Listening to his words, Clifford nodded slowly.
"That guy asked for it. The intelligence we got this time is indeed a bit limited, but at least we have confirmed that those guys may sell the stolen goods on White Pearl Street... You should continue to pay attention to any movement in this area recently, especially those channels for selling stolen goods. We will definitely catch those guys in the act."
Clifford gave instructions to his men, and his men in black nodded in response.
"Yes, sir."
…
At this moment, in front of the building, on a roadside corner across the street, Dorothy was standing there quietly, using the gecko corpse to locate another base of the Holy Communion in the distance.
"Finally... found another one..."
In order to find the hidden base of the Holy Communion on White Pearl Street, Dorothy directed this fishing drama.
Dorothy first identified Cole Cross, a notorious loan shark on White Pearl Street, through the results of her three-day investigation on White Pearl Street. Then she used the corpse doll to pawn the pocket watch she got from Burton to him, and then used other corpse dolls to spread the news on the street.
The purpose of doing this is to attract the attention of the Holy Communion's eyes and ears on White Pearl Street. They are all on this street, and the Holy Communion's base is bound to hear the rumor. After the divination failed, the Holy Communion, which is in an intelligence dilemma, will most likely not let go of such a clue. They will secretly send someone to verify the message with Cox Cross, trying to get clues about the unknown enemy from Cox.
This was also what Dorothy expected to see. She had used animal dolls to monitor Cole all the time, waiting for the members of the Holy Communion to come over, and then followed these people to the Holy Communion's base on White Pearl Street.
"So... now we've found another one... what should we do with it?"
Under the moonlight, Dorothy leaned against the wall by the roadside and began to think. It was good to find a base, but what to do with it afterwards became another problem.
Dorothy can carry out a surprise attack as she did before, but once the base is attacked, the remaining bases of the Holy Communion will definitely be alert. It will be much more difficult to repeat the last tactic. After all, it has been several days. If the companion who disappeared in the mission a few weeks ago suddenly comes back, they will be suspicious and alert no matter what.
Without a sneak attack, Dorothy actually didn't have much chance of winning against a single stronghold of the Holy Communion.
Moreover, he couldn't report it directly because there was a traitor in the Security Bureau. Reporting it would only alert the enemy and make them evacuate early.
So how should we deal with it?
Dorothy was at a loss for a moment. She looked across the street at the building that served as her base, carefully examining its front door and the sign on it that was illuminated by the street lamps.
"Barnard Old Book Collection"
"Is this a bookstore? Or... this bookstore is probably just a disguised storefront for this base."
Looking at the sign of the bookstore not far away, Dorothy thought for a few moments, and then some ideas slowly emerged in her mind.
"Maybe... I can give it a try..."
Dorothy nodded slightly, murmured, then she turned and walked away from White Pearl Street. Today's investigation ended here, and now she needed to go back and have a good rest.
…
The sun rises in the east, the darkness dissipates, and the night passes quickly.
Early in the morning in Igwynte, on the upper floor of an apartment building on Nanyanghua Road, Gregor, who had worked all night, was climbing the stairs with tired eyes and a slightly shaky body.
"Ugh~ I searched all night but found nothing. And I don't know where this fake news came from. It's really annoying..."
Complaining in a low voice, Gregor had a lot of resentment in his heart at this time. Ever since the Burton case, he has been on duty frequently in recent times. He is either analyzing cases in the bureau or running around for various intelligence. He has been exhausted these days.
"Recently, we received intelligence that someone on White Pearl Street was selling the Burton case's dirty tricks... This is the nth time we've received similar intelligence. This time, it's probably fake again... Anyway, it's a good thing that Mr. James sent another team this time. I have to take a good rest today."
As Gregor thought about it, he came to the door of his house. After opening the door with the key, he saw his sister sitting on the sofa in the living room eating breakfast.
"Good morning, Greg, are you back from your night shift?"
"Well... good morning Dorothy..."
Greg nodded, closed the door and went into the house. Dorothy asked curiously after taking a look at the tired Greg.
"Greg, you've been working a lot lately. Is there something wrong?"
"It's because of the murderer Burton Weir that day. Seven people were killed but the murderer has not been caught yet. Many rich families feel unsafe, so the demand for security guards has increased. We have been so busy these days because of this..." As he spoke, Greg took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then sat down on the sofa and drank milk.
Listening to Greg's words, Dorothy also covered her chest and spoke in an uneasy tone.
"Burton Weir... I saw it in the newspaper too. It's so cruel. It's disturbing that such a brutal and vicious murderer is still at large. I feel unsafe on my way home from school..."
"Don't worry... Although the murderer is still at large, he should have no interest in ordinary people... Well, I mean he might only target rich people." Gregor said after putting down the milk bottle. Knowing the inside story, he knew that this was a covert spy murder case and the victim was far from a good person.
"Dorothy, you'd better not be affected by the public opinion about this case. Remember to focus on learning."
"Well, don't worry, I'm studying hard every day."
Dorothy replied with a smile, thinking that she worried about tuition every day.

"By the way, Greg, do you know...White Pearl Street?"
