Chapter 2442 Convenient Identity

Chapter 2442 Convenient Identity

In this way, all the things are connected. Shade's boss, Director Anros, has mentioned many times that an agent is missing in Yuewan City, and that agent is also involved in the matter of the three precious cards.

So the agent somehow met his "defected colleague" Miss Brown before he died, which led to the disappearance of Mrs. Fox's nephew and his wife, which in turn triggered the [Eternal Light], and finally involved Shad, who was already related to this matter.

After going around in circles, the matter finally fell on Xia De's head.

Shade continued chatting with Mr. Dylan, and then quietly gestured to Mr. Albert beside him. The coroner, who also disguised his face, then emitted a group of auras that only the ring magician could see. Shade guessed that this was the "light incarnation" clone technique he had used before.

Soon the light returned, and Shad ended his conversation with Mr. Dylan:

"Besides this house, are there any other clues about suspicious people?"

"Sir, this."

Mr. Dylan did not answer immediately this time, but said awkwardly:

"You know, this is not your mission."

Looking at his expression, it seems that he is afraid that Shad will suddenly shoot him. The reputation of "Grey Eagle" was built by Sparrow Hamilton with other people's blood. The ace agent is definitely not a soft-hearted person.

"Indeed, this is not my task."

Shad nodded, then leaned forward suddenly, and Mr. Dylan in front of him almost jumped up in fright.

"If you have any questions, please ask your new supervisor, Mr. Richard, to ask Her Highness Margaret. I don't need to explain what I do to you."

"Yes Yes."

Mr. Dylan's forehead was covered with sweat, and the other agents he brought with him kept silent. This was obviously a matter between superiors, and keeping silent was a basic quality of an excellent agent.

“In addition to us and MI6, there are many people looking for that mysterious man, because it is said that the man got a card from the hand of the Death Agent, a very precious card.

It could be from the [Founding] series, [Angel] series, [Devil] series, or [Ancient Wise King] series. The value of that card is at least 500 crowns."

That is more than 6000 pounds, and if it is really the original series of Rhodes cards, and it is genuine, 6000 gold pounds cannot even buy it.

"Any other information?"

Xia De asked again. Even though he didn't do anything on purpose, when he got serious, the mental suppression caused by the powerful soul had already made the room with the door open silent. Mr. Dylan, who was facing him, was already terrified:

"Sir, there is no other information for the time being. The intelligence obtained by the hidden MI6 agent is very important, but the cards are not important to us. The intelligence is about the local gray glove agents accepting bribes from the seven major families. That's all, really all."

Even the clergy of the Orthodox Church were corrupted by the "City of Wealth", and it was not unimaginable that the agents would accept bribes. Therefore, the "mermaid" was right to choose this city.

"Okay, I understand. If you have any questions about my actions, just go and ask Her Highness Margaret."

Xia De didn't think he dared to go, and didn't even think he dared to tell about his appearance.

Having said this, he left with M. Albert.

Back on the street, the coroner hesitated to speak, and was very curious about Shad's identity. He could see that "Mr. Watson" was most likely a big shot in Gray Gloves. But after thinking about it carefully, it didn't matter, so he didn't ask in the end:

"There were no documents or cards in the house, but I found this in the cracks of the floor."

He showed the key tied with a red string in his hand, and said with a smile:

"It's good to have a clue, Mr. Albert, do you want to do a divination?"

When the two met for the first time, Ptolemy Albert said that he was not a fortune teller (Chapter 2056), but now he said:

"Divination has a certain margin of error. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Can you wait for me? I'll go ask a nearby locksmith. Maybe there'll be some clues."

So he walked into the misty fog, and then Shade continued to walk forward and entered the snack shop that was still open at the intersection to replenish his "toy inventory". When Shade walked out of the shop with the paper bag and stuffed the bag into his coat, he noticed that Mia was still in his pocket, but he did not intend to let the cat come into contact with the harmful toxic fog.

After all, little Mia is very fragile.

Mr. Albert soon returned with another carriage:

"The local locksmith has also joined the mutual aid association. Although the key was not made by him, he can tell whose craftsmanship it was. The locksmith industry has its own rules. Let's go find the person who made the key."

The carriage carried the two through the lower town, and the old locksmith they found at the next stop had nothing to do with [Eternal Light], but his nosy neighbor had also participated in [Eternal Light] activities.

Under the persuasion of his neighbor, the old locksmith finally revealed that he had made the key half a month ago. Although he had only seen the key, he knew where the door lock was:

"This key is a copy of the original key. The original key had a number on it, which was deliberately erased, but I still remember it roughly. Similar locks are all produced by the Yuewan United Lock Company. There is only one store selling them in the entire downtown area, and the locks corresponding to the numbers should have sales records. Of course, the premise is that the lock was sold within a year."

So the next stop was a store that sold door locks. It was the first time Shade had heard of such a store. This time, the "Eternal Light" didn't work. Shade used illusion to turn invisible and looked through the sales records himself, and then he knew where the key corresponded to.

"Let's go to the downtown area, 7 Augustus Street, Building B. Augustus?"

This is not an uncommon name.

Shad and Mr. Albert continued to ride in the carriage through the thick fog in the lower town, and this time when they arrived at their destination, fortunately the door was not open and there was no gatekeeper, but unfortunately Shad heard numerous heartbeats from inside the door.

Shade went straight up the stairs. Mr. Albert, who also noticed something was wrong behind the door, wanted to stop him, but Shade shook his head.

"I know."

He did not use the key, but knocked on the door politely. After the knock, the person behind the door obviously waited for a while before answering. The door was only opened a crack, and a man with a local appearance showed his face:

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Shade thought for a while:

"Excuse me, is Ryan Anjou here?"

As he spoke, he used his fingers to grab the door, and his longest middle finger stretched directly into the door. "Lion Anjou" was the name of Margaret's father, so the man inside the door trembled, and the muzzle of the gun stretched out from under the door lock:

"roll!"

"Wait a moment."

Another voice came from inside the door:

"I'm curious about who is so bold as to make such a joke. No matter which side they are from, at least their courage is admirable. Let them in. Since they are here, they are all friends."

There was a series of sounds of pistols being loaded from inside the door. Mr. Albert sighed, thinking that Shade wanted to kill everyone after entering the door this time, but Shade said again:

"Director, there's no need to welcome me like this, right?"

A doubtful tone was heard from the inside, so Shade took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to the man at the door. The latter's eyes widened immediately when he saw the familiar ID. He passed the ID to the inside of the door, and then there was a series of sounds of re-closing the safety of the pistol.

"Come in, I didn't expect to see you here."

Director Anlos's face appeared from the doorway, but after glancing at Mr. Albert, Shade assured:

“A friend you can trust.”

So the two of them came into the room together, and Director Anros returned the certificate to Xia De with a smile. As for how Xia De knew that his boss was inside the door, it was naturally because when he used his hands to pry the door open just now, his fingers were facing the inside of the door, and "her" perception was not limited to Xia De's eyes.

"Why did you come to Yuewan in person?"

The door was closed again, and Shade's colleagues consciously made room for the hallway, leaving only Shade, Director Anros and Mr. Albert.

Director Anlos pressed his hat on his head so that his whole face would not be visible to Mr. Albert.

"You know the recent situation in Yuewan. The local police and the Gray Gloves are busy maintaining law and order. So I thought of coming here in person to take advantage of the chaos and do something."

He lowered his voice:

"I heard that the Gray Gloves' ace, the Gray Eagle, is here too. I'm really looking forward to fighting him."

So the "Grey Eagle" nodded in understanding:

"My friend and I are tracking down a Rhodes card. We have obtained some clues. This matter seems to be related to the missing bottom fish."

Director Anros felt that it was quite reasonable for Shade to be here to "look for cards":

"I didn't take the initiative to look for you, but you were able to investigate it yourself. That's right, and our deceased colleague gave the card and some important information to other people before he died.

I came here to deal with this matter, which is not a big trouble. There is not much progress at present, but a few days ago, a stranger passed information to us through our channels and wanted to sell the information to us.

I wanted to meet the person who took the information in person, but he didn't show up, so we tracked him down and found him here. I suspect that the person who took the information is also familiar with the Sixth Bureau, and has even met me before. He knows our internal information channels. "

Xia De pretended to know nothing:

"Director, is there any other news? I just want that card. You know my methods. Let me help you."
