Chapter 35 Sponsors
Luke asked Shelley: "Are all the people I invited here?"
"Everyone is here. Regardless of whether they are planning to defect to the Public Security Bureau or not, they must give our Secret Intelligence Bureau face. But... we will have a difficult life in the future."
Shelley showed a pessimistic mood.
In the past, there was a certain tacit understanding between the Secret Intelligence Bureau and the Public Security Bureau regarding the interests of the dock. However, they did not expect that the Public Security Bureau would immediately take such extreme measures as soon as something happened to the Crazy Ax Party.
He looked like he was trying to drive the Secret Service out of the dock.
Now the Sheriff's Department is threatening the Secret Service's sponsors.
Even though the Secret Service is such a strong protector of the crazy ax party, its poor strength still makes some sponsors start to plan for the future.
If the Secret Intelligence Bureau really loses the dock this time, and is strangled by the Raging Waves City Administration Department, it would be better to find a ship to go to sea and work as a sailor based on the dead salary from the General Administration.
I'm afraid I'll never see such a leisurely day again.
Will I have to make a living by extorting hawkers from now on?
When Shelley looked sad, Luke threw her a bag, stood up and walked out.
"Take your things and follow me to meet our sponsors.
The Crazy Ax Party...I'm sure of it!
The dock...no one can take it away!"
"What is this?" Shelley wanted to open it, but when he saw Luke had already walked out, he immediately picked up the bag and chased after him.
The meeting on the third floor was filled with smoke and smoke.
The bigwigs from various forces who accepted the invitation smoked cigarettes and discussed what happened at the headquarters of the Crazy Ax Party.
"I think the Wild Ax Party will definitely not be able to hold on. I heard that Black Jack paid a high price to invite all the sailors in Cape Port, thousands of them! If the giant tree is there, the Wild Ax Party may be able to hold on, but now it depends on Lan
Bert?
Tomorrow we'll see his head being kicked like a ball."
"The Sheriff's Department must have given you a greeting. Director Holt is very, very determined to seize the dock. Our detective has just taken office, so I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat Holt."
"You are not planning to surrender to the Public Security Bureau! No matter how the Public Security Bureau and the Secret Intelligence Bureau fight, the Secret Intelligence Bureau will be here. You are not afraid that the Secret Intelligence Bureau will come to settle accounts with you in the future."
"Afraid, why aren't you afraid? That's why I came here. Let's discuss our difficulties with Detective Meteor. The worst we can do is give money to the Public Security Department and the Secret Intelligence Service at the same time.
It’s just that the money must not be the same amount as before.”
"Sigh... The fight between the Public Security Bureau and the Secret Intelligence Bureau has made it difficult for those of us who work below. Not only do we have to pay for it, but we also have to pay for it with our lives.
Did you know that someone previously posted a reward for the giant horned demon tree in the Assassin Tavern... 5,000 gold coupons.
It was just 5,000 gold coupons that killed more than a hundred of the Crazy Ax Party members. In addition to those who died last night, the total number of deaths in all parties in our Cape District was almost a thousand!
I don’t know when it will end, and I’m really afraid that it’s me who gets kicked in the head.”
"Captain Hansenton, you also have a large business at the dock. What do you think of this matter?"
When someone said the name Hansenton, everyone else stopped talking and looked at a middle-aged man wearing a triangular sailing hat.
His skin was very rough due to years of exposure during sailing, and there was a centipede-like scar on his face.
He is Captain Hansenton. He has a fleet of ships under his command, and the dock he controls is second only to the Crazy Ax Party. In terms of strength and power, after the death of Jumu, he is the number one among this group of people.
If you want to jump off the leaky ship of the Secret Service, Captain Hanselton is undoubtedly the best person to negotiate with the Secret Service agent on your behalf.
Captain Hanselton has not spoken since entering the conference room. Instead, he observes everyone here with his sharp eyes developed at sea.
Seeing everyone raising his head, he said slowly: "Everyone, everyone should be very clear about how the Secret Intelligence Service treated us in the past. At the same time, it is collecting money. The Public Security Department cannot take as much care of us as the Secret Intelligence Service.
.
The Crazy Ax Party also makes you money!
Why...the Wild Ax Party is in trouble now, are you ready to watch them die? Inspector Meteorite defended the Wild Ax Party to the death on the first day he took office, so you are so anxious to jump ship?
We sailors are most afraid of working with people like you."
Captain Hanselton's words made the conference room quiet, and everyone was smoking and thinking about their own affairs.
After a while, Pisco opened the door and shouted: "The detective is here!"
Everyone in the conference room quickly stood up and saluted Luke as he walked in: "Hello, Inspector Meteor."
"Okay, okay, okay..." Luke waved enthusiastically and greeted everyone: "Everyone, sit down! We are all our own people here, there is no need to be so restrained..."
"Thank you, Mr. Inspector."
Luke greeted everyone warmly, suddenly took out a gun from his arms, and shot Captain Hanselton in the head as he bent over and sat down.
Three more shots in a row.
All the bullets went through the top of his head, and Captain Hanselton fell on the table and died on the spot.
Everyone was stunned.
What is this for!
Could it be that...the Secret Intelligence Service called us here to kill us all?
Shelley, who had been on the battlefield, reacted very quickly, took out his gun and pointed it at a room full of people: "Everyone put their hands where I can see them."
Those who wanted to resist immediately raised their hands.
They all know how powerful Black Mamba is, and they also know that Black Mamba really dares to shoot.
Someone asked: "Inspector Meteor... we have not betrayed the Secret Service, and we are willing to do our best to support the Crazy Ax Party."
Shelley controlled the situation and whispered to Luke: "Detective, Captain Hanselton is one of our own. He was the one who told me the warning from the Sheriff's Department.
He also said he would help us convince these guys not to surrender to the Sheriff’s Department.”
Luke put the pistol back into the holster and said to Pisco who was staying at the door: "Move Captain Hanselton's body out, and then take people to his dock to arrest Dougherty and Felix.
Search the Lucky Princess and bring the safe under the tenth plank to the left of the captain's cabin."
"Yes, Detective!" Pisco walked in, carried Hansenton's body and went out.
At this time, a group of imperial agents rushed in after hearing the sound of gunfire and came to support.
Luke asked the spies to go out, then smiled and said to the sponsors: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I killed Hansenton because he was the mastermind behind the assassination of my former detective.
Pisco has gone to get evidence.
Everyone, please take a seat and let's talk business.
Black Mamba, put your gun away."
"Yes, Detective." Shelley put the gun back into the holster on the outside of his thigh, and then asked: "How do you know it was the former Detective Inspector who was killed by Hanselton?"
"Of course it is through investigation." Luke looked at the sponsors who were still standing and said, "We don't have much time, so sit down as soon as you can."
"Sit down!" shouted Shelley.
The sponsors quickly found a seat and all gathered at the other end of the conference table. The nearest one was four seats away from Luke.
The new detective came in and beat Hansenton to death. No matter what the reason was, everyone was really frightened.
Luke waited for everyone to sit down and asked, "Whoever wants to jump off the ship can leave now."
Sponsors were crying.
