I! Cleaner! - Chapter 50 A major case caused by nineteen copper wheels
“The situation has become a success…”
Although it was a bit out of place to say this, Leon thought about it again and again, and felt that this sentence was really suitable to describe the current situation of Charles Department Store.
When Charles’ Department Store started to cause trouble, maybe someone could stop it. After all, before the train started, all you had to do to stop it was put a small wooden block on the track.
But now that the commotion is so loud, more and more people are benefiting, and more people are eagerly waiting for compensation. It is like the train has started running. Let alone the wooden blocks at this time, Even if it is a solid iron wall, anyone who dares to block the road will be knocked through!
Between curiosity about the old Charles and chatting with the coachman, the steam carriage roared all the way and arrived near the headquarters of Charles Department Store.
Looking out through the brightly polished glass and seeing the crazy crowd outside and the big money box that was about to be filled, Leon couldn’t help but secretly marveled at the generosity of old Charles and felt distressed at the same time. He took out two silver wheels and handed them to the coachman.
“give change!”
“…”
Looking at Leon who reached out to him with a calm expression after giving the money, the coachman couldn’t help but smacked his lips speechlessly.
Good guy, it’s twenty-two kilometers from the starting point to here, twenty-two minus five plus two. You should have received nineteen copper wheels for this trip. I answered all your questions along the way, and accompanied you at the top of my lungs. You’ve been chatting for so long, and yet you’re not even willing to give a copper-wheel tip?
Forget it!
Sorry, tipping is a bad habit of rich people, but I have been a poor person my whole life. I have not completely escaped poverty yet, and I do not deserve such extravagant expenses.
In the carriage driver’s eyes, Leon took the change from a copper wheel, hugged the folder with dried blood in his arms, and got out of the carriage with both happiness and depression.
The motivation that had been driving him to go to the water power company to steal information and contact the newspaper to find someone to expose was just to get rid of the patients who were howling miserably in the hospital corridor. He felt that only by bringing this matter out and making a big fuss would he have a chance to get rid of these patients. The person receives compensation for adequate treatment.
But before he could successfully expose the matter, those patients had already begun to receive compensation, and the burden was lifted. While Leon breathed a sigh of relief, he could not help but feel a sense of disappointment.
Hmm… Why don’t you go meet that “Old Charles”!
Thinking of what he heard outside the meeting room of the water power company, Leon, who was standing on the street, pondered for a while before taking steps towards the Charles Department Store building.
Listening to the dispute in the conference room, it seemed that the three noble families headed by Lionheart Lane deliberately reduced the number of filtrations and poured unpurified excrement into the public pool in order to embezzle Charles Department Store.
Although the patients have now received compensation, these three bastards have not been punished yet. They happen to have the operating records of the water power company and several approval documents in their hands.
Although the priority of “punishing evil” is far lower than that of “helping those in need”, after all, tons of bad things happen in the kingdom every day, and I can’t handle it at all, but…
Come on, my twenty copper wheels can’t be wasted!
…
“You mean, the most important documents can’t be found?”
After listening to the report given by the detective, the dark-skinned old man frowned, lifted his knuckles that were thick from years of hard work, and knocked heavily on the thick willow wood office desk in front of him, and said with an unhappy expression:
“Don’t just bribe some security guards and archivists. The total fees I’ve paid you these days are enough to bribe a county council member. Are you really working for me?”
“Well…Mr. Charles, the situation this time is a little bit special…”
Seeing that their biggest financial sponsor was angry, the people in the detective agency couldn’t help but change their expressions, and quickly explained:
“We really tried our best. Not only did we bribe two teams of security guards, we bribed several personal followers of the Tower Shield family, we also kidnapped many family members of employees in the hydraulic company’s archives.
While your wife held meetings for three consecutive days and diverted everyone’s attention away, when the entire water power company was at its most lax, our people had completely taken control of the archives room.
But just a few minutes after our people sorted out a few pieces of materials, followed the archivists into the inner room, and started searching for the remaining files, that damn security manager happened to enter the outer room.
He didn’t know what kind of luck he had. We had nearly thirty files piled up on the table, and he just took the two most important ones away. Mr. Charles, we really are…”
“Okay, I’m not interested in your story!”
Glancing at the unlucky look on the man’s face in the detective agency, Old Charles, whose eyes were bloodshot, couldn’t help but frown and said with an unkind expression:
“What mistakes you made is your business. What I want is evidence that can prove that the three old noble families, especially the Lane family, deliberately violated regulations! Since the things are in the hands of the security manager, go and get them back for me!”
“this……”
The man from the detective agency took out his handkerchief, wiped the hot sweat from his head, bowed his waist and lowered his head and said:
“As soon as our people discovered that the thing was missing, they followed it, but not long after the security manager got the file, he was snatched away by a person who sneaked into the conference room, the policeman who rescued your wife.
After taking the things, the policeman led our people to run around in the water company. It is estimated that he had installed tripwires in some hidden places in advance, causing our people to fall and bleed, and several of them fainted in one breath…”
He paused here, asked the person with gauze tied on his head to come over, opened his mouth and showed the empty gums of his front teeth, and then the detective smiled bitterly and continued to explain:
“Mr. Charles, I know this sounds hard to believe, but look at his teeth… Our people really chased him desperately, but they really couldn’t catch up with him.
The main reason is that the man’s physical strength is really amazing, and he seems to have undergone some special training. After playing tricks on our people and confirming that no one could catch up and interfere with him, he rushed to the sixth floor in less than ten seconds.
Then he kicked the air vent and broke it, and flipped out directly from the sixth floor, as if he ran away from the slide rail that was fastened in advance. Our people chased him all the way, but in the end they didn’t even see what he looked like…”
“Then go find someone who has met him! “
After pressing his buzzing head, Old Charles knocked on the table twice again with a cold face.
“I have raised you for so many years, spending so much money every year, and hiring so many people in total, just to be useful at this time!
Whether it is money or other means, no matter who he is, you have to find him for me! Get those documents! “
“Okay, Mr. Charles, we are already doing this!”
Seeing that the old man did not seem to be prepared to continue to pursue his own responsibilities, the detectives were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly to assure:
“The man kept his head down and covered his face with the brim of his hat. The only people who have seen his full face are your daughter and the lucky security manager.
And because your wife suddenly fell ill, your daughter cried a little…excited at the time, so she couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t describe the man’s appearance. We focused the investigation on the security manager, and now we have vaguely found some clues!
Mr. Charles, don’t worry, as long as the information has not been destroyed, we at Silver Hook guarantee to get it back for you!”
