Alien paradise

The furnishings in the room are very simple, or... very cheap. Apart from the hard bed, there was only a bench and a shabby low table.

One of them sat on a stool and the other sat on the bed facing each other, with freshly brewed green tea in the middle. The aroma of tea rising with the heat slightly dissipated the musty smell in the air.

"Are you short of money?" After looking at each other for a long time, Walter asked with a frown.

"You mean...why do I want to live in a place like this?" Dann smiled and took a sip from his teacup. "Because I'm used to it. I used to rent it near here when I was investigating in the royal capital. People Aborted It’s dense, the identity is complicated, and there are many alleys. You can escape immediately if you cause trouble. How did you find this place?”

"I don't have the ability to catch you even after I haven't seen you for so many years." Walter shook his head. "The big news that the news agency got recently was probably from you. I found you in the drawer of Church's office. The business card, new, proves that you have been here recently, so I guess your partner will know your whereabouts. Fortunately, Mr. Farrelly will not hide. He told me that you will be at the Golden Rose in the city center. Choose between a hotel and a folk hotel on Yuchang Street. I’ve been to the former, but I’m not here.”

"It turns out he said it." Dann showed his original expression. Only three people have been told where he lives, Farrellan, Sandra and Ryan. He did stay in a big hotel a few days ago, because a decent identity is more convincing. If Watt News Agency does not accept his news, he will have to try other newspapers.

Now that the weekly magazine is on sale, there is no need for him to continue to stay in a conspicuous place. Compared to the Golden Rose Hotel, this private hotel is not even known to most people.

It's just that the other party doesn't know him well. I'm afraid in Walter's opinion, he can't afford the expense of a good hotel, so he would move to such an unpopular place.

"I wanted to beat you up." Walter suddenly changed the subject.

"Is it because I left without saying goodbye...I'm sorry."

"It's not me you should apologize to, but You Yuan'er!" His voice suddenly rose twice, and veins sprouted on the back of his hands, "You know her situation at that time, why didn't you even give her a simple goodbye?"

Dane had nothing to say about this.

He had his own reasons, but he also knew that this move would undoubtedly hurt the boss's daughter, Youyuan Walter.

"That's all, I don't want to talk about the past anymore, and don't expect me to forgive you!" Walter compiled his fist for a long time, and finally let go, "You should leave quickly, don't stay in the capital, otherwise it may It will cause big trouble."

Dan En was slightly startled, "Disaster? What do you mean?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing!" Walter said angrily. "At noon today, the news agency was warned by Duke Longjiu's internal affairs troops. The latest issue of the weekly must be stopped immediately, and the editor-in-chief was also taken away by them. ”

"Churchi?"

"Yes, before he was taken away, he deliberately scattered a bunch of tobacco in the drawer, and I noticed your business card inside. I guess he wanted to remind me to tell you to run away. After all, you are the reporter. The instigator of this will definitely be blamed on you." At this point, Walter sighed and took a sip of tea angrily, "Although I don't know what made the Duke unhappy with this kind of report, but my My intuition tells me that this matter is not that simple.”

Dane pondered for a moment, "How many copies of the weekly have been sold?"

"You still care about that damn news!?" Walter said in disbelief.

"Churchi should just be taken for questioning, and his life will not be in danger. The degree of dissemination of the weekly is the key."

"You mean...if the news cannot be suppressed, they will pay less attention to us?"

"That's right. Only Watt News Agency is publishing now, and Duke Longjiu's attention will naturally be focused on you." Dann said bluntly, "Why don't they let the police station handle the matter, but send the internal affairs force to deal with it privately?" Warning? Because they themselves know that it is unreasonable for a newspaper to openly ban a news agency!”

Walter thought about it for a moment, but fortunately he asked Rich before going out, "I printed two rounds, a total of 150,000 copies, and they were all sold. The third round of printing was also finished, but the Duke's people just happened to come to the door. , now stored in the warehouse.”

"Give me the newspapers for the third printing. I have a way to sell them." Dane stood up, "Of course not now. I will go to the newspaper office in the evening."

"You don't actually plan to leave?" Walter glared.

"Anyway, Church was arrested because of the news I provided. I will stay in the capital until I confirm that he is okay." He walked to the window and glanced at the situation downstairs, "But I won't do anything next. I will live here, just think of me as leaving without saying goodbye.”

"..." Walter stared at him for a while, and finally took a key from his waist and threw it to him, "Take it."

"This is?"

"The key to the news agency's warehouse. All the employees are on vacation now, and there is no one there. If you want to get the newspaper, you have to go in first, right? Of course, if the Duke pursues it, I will say that you stole the key."

"Thank you." Dann solemnly put the key into his arms.

"Where have you been and what have you done in these years? Let's talk next time when we have time." Walter walked to the door, turned around and said, "Also...although I have not forgiven you, my daughter has not I have resented you for so long. She is now married and living a happy life. After this incident is over, explain to her why she left at that time. "

…

Qiseer Longjiu threw down the whip in his hand and shook his finger at the attendant.

The latter immediately brought over the basin and soap that had been prepared long ago.

He carefully washed every finger, including the blood between his fingers. He knew that his father did not like a dirty person, and nobles should pay attention to their appearance at all times.

Even during torture.

"Master, what should I do with this man?" the executioner came up and asked.

"He really doesn't know much, so it's not of much use."

"Then let it go?"

"No... journalists like to make trouble the most. If we let him go now, wouldn't it give him a chance to smear the family?" Zissel wiped the remaining water on his hands with a towel, "I'll let him know how to deal with it after a few days." Manage your mouth. Besides, wasn't he very tough when he was first hired? He said he had nothing to talk to me about, but when he was put on the rack, he did everything. He didn't need to teach him a lesson. , I don’t know what my last name is.”

After he washed his hands, he began to look through the interrogation records. Church, the editor-in-chief of Water News Agency, went to Qianlimburg five days ago and stayed for three and a half days. When he came back, he had the latest issue of the weekly magazine about Paradise Cult. The person who provided him with the information was a man named Dann, who was also a former news agency reporter and was a colleague of his.

This bit of information had long been recorded in Zissel's mind, but it was his habit to watch the records repeatedly after the interrogation. The more he read, the better he could pick out key elements between the lines. Compared with his eldest brother and second brother who are good at fighting, this is one of the few abilities that his father can praise.

Obviously, Church was just a ghostwriter, and Dann was the leader in this matter. At present, he doesn't have much information. He only knows that this person has been in the royal city and has accumulated a certain reputation. Later he went overseas and didn't come back until recently. Although Church had no idea what was going on, Zisser had already smelled a conspiracy. This man named Dann is undoubtedly a believer in the Paradise Cult - a new god is plundering faith, and Dann is his vanguard.
