Chapter 59 Safe Hastings! (Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone~)

Most people make the right choice when they are pointed at by a gun.

The people in front of you are no exception.

“Wait, don’t shoot, I’m not mean!”

The gun-wielding Goethe didn’t lower the muzzle, but looked towards the alley that the other party rushed out of.

There, three silhouettes rushed out.

Two of them pinned the other to the ground, beating and handcuffed.

Black uniforms and handcuffs all indicate the identity of the other party.

The remaining one looked towards Goethe.

Or to be precise, after the other party glanced at the revolver in Goethe’s hand, he opened the mouth and said.

“Hello, sir.”

“Although Hessings can’t help but have a shotgun, Revolver requires you to register with the police station.”

Although the other party reminded, but the tone was aloof and remote, and then, looking at Goethe with a scrutiny.

This makes Goethe slightly frowned.

At this time, a chubby face blocked such a look.

“Mr. Marple is in Hastings for the first time today, and he is not familiar with it, but such a gentleman must obey the rules here, and I will take him to register. “

“And…”

“You wouldn’t suspect he was the murderer of ‘St Ruth’ Hospital?”

The mystifying words made the eyes The police glared at Hunter.

And Hunter’s mystifying didn’t stop.

“You’ve got some spare time to catch a little thief like this, you might as well find out why someone broke into 21 Chuck Street, and why my tenant was disappeared.”

Chuck Street?

It wouldn’t be so coincidental, would it?

Goethe gave Hunt a surprised look.

The police outside the carriage glared at Hunter again, turned around and left quickly with the person they had just caught.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Hunter did not forget to shout.

“Remember, we pay our taxes so that we are protected, not questioned!”

The voice was quite high.

Everyone around you can hear it.

Suddenly, the other party left faster.

Seeing the back of the other party hurriedly leaving, Goethe sighed inwardly.

If you want to recreate the Luster scene, the difficulty has increased!

When the other party left, his eyes were quite bad.

And that kind of aloof and remote attitude…

Goethe started to think about whether to adjust the plan.

“hmph, ignoreant.”

Hunter coldly snorted, then turned to Goethe with a smile: “Mr. Marple, don’t bother with these guys, they just It will only scare the ordinary person, and it is always the last to arrive.”

“Well, when I encountered a robber and had to go through the no-man’s land by myself, I was deeply touched.”

Goethe agrees.

Then, asked without a trace.

“The Chuck Street you mentioned earlier?”

“21 Chuck Street is a property I’m in charge of. It was short-term leased to a gentleman this morning. It happened to be the day when the second rent was paid, and when I went to the door in the morning, I found that the building was already empty.”

“Not only are people gone, but also things.”

“The most important thing is…”

“I found blood!”

“This is not a good thing, I called the police immediately, and they blocked 21 Chuck Street, let me go back and wait for the notice!”

“Damn!”

“I shouldn’t have called the police!”

“Every blockade One day at 21 Chuck Street, I’ll lose a fortune!”

Having said this, Hunter foul-mouthed again.

“So it is.”

Unlike the previous corpses, in order to make Poirot .Marple’s identity more secure, Zota’s corpse and the scene Goethe have been processed The – the corpse was no longer in Hessings.

Almost everything was burned.

In addition to the clothes and revolvers on the body, there are only 140 banknotes and 60 golden gram langs left.

The money also made Goethe’s plan easier to implement.

“The law and order in Hessings has always been very good, but, for some reason, some worrying things have happened one after another since yesterday, as if…”

“Calamity suddenly set his sights on Hessings.”

Hunter thought for a moment and gave a description.

“Calamity?”

“How come?”

“It should be all accidents!”

Goethe said with a faint smile.

In this regard, Hunter will naturally not refute.

The customer is always right!

Even if the customer is wrong, it’s not the customer’s fault!

It’s his fault!

It is precisely because of this philosophy that Hunter is recognized by every customer.

Of course, Hunter has the ability to match.

At least, Goethe is quite happy with the house in front of him.

It is a three-story independent building with a small garden where the flowers in the flowerbed are multi-colored and well-manicured.

“This is Kimmel Street, which is close to the heart of Hastings. It is safe and beautiful.”

“The first floor has a dining room, a living room, and a kitchen. , servant’s room and bathroom, the second layer is the master’s study and reception room, and the third floor is the master’s bedroom – I do not recommend you to choose a room with a terrace, not only is it expensive, but also because of the black satin The weather is always cloudy and rainy, and the rain that keeps falling will always make you feel that the terrace is useless.”

“Also, there is a basement here, which can store abundant food and drinks.”

After walking off the carriage, Hunter took Goethe to visit the house in front of him.

Overall, in line with Goethe’s expectations.

“How much is the rent?”

Goethe asked.

“400 yuan per month, if you are willing to pay quarterly, I can give you a monthly discount of 20 yuan.”

Hunter quoted a price with a smile.

“Yes.”

Goethe didn’t bargain, which is inconsistent with who he is now.

And, from a simple memory in my head, Kimmel Street is worth the price.

“You’re quite impressive.”

“And I’m not going to put you at a disadvantage – when it comes to choosing a maid and a maid later, I promise you can demand for their use at the lowest price.”

Hunter promises.

Then, the other party did the same.

In the agency, Goethe signed a servant ‘Kay’ and a maid ‘Maria’ with a weekly salary of 5 yuan and 4 yuan respectively.

Maid Kai, twenty-five years old, unmarried, literate.

Maid Maria, nineteen years old, unmarried, good at cooking.

It wasn’t until this time that Goethe knew that Hunter was the manager of the agency.

“Good work, Mr. Marple!”

Hunter shook hands with Goethe, then took out a gun certificate.

Seeing Goethe’s surprised look, Hunter laughed.

“I have a lot of friends in the police station.”

“It’s not too difficult to get such a certificate.”

“If you need anything , please remember to find me.”

Hunter said.

“Of course I will,”

Goethe promised.

Then, with Hunter’s farewell, Goethe boarded the carriage with his maid and maid.

The maid and Goethe sat in the carriage.

The valet sat outside with the driver.

The maid Maria was dressed in a standard maid attire. At this moment, her head was lowered, her hands were on her legs, and her fingertips were constantly rubbing, looking a little nervous.

“What are you good at cooking?”

Goethe asked directly.

“Stew, stew.”

Maria stammered in reply, then, suddenly thinking of something, she immediately added: “I can also scramble egg sauce. “

“Egg sauce?”

Goethe startled.

The name of the dish reminded him of a dish in his ‘hometown’.

“It is to break two eggs, put them in the heated butter, add sugar, ginger and salt in order, and finally pour in the milk and stir, don’t let them boil, but make them sticky…”

Maria explained.

Goethe’s eyes looked towards the window.

It wasn’t that he lost interest in Hessings’ ‘scrambled egg sauce’, it was just that he found out someone was following him.

And…

It’s full of malice!

PS Wishing everyone a safe, prosperous and happy Year of the Tiger~
