Traveler In the World

Chapter 18: New Country Merchant

“I’m already working in the research institute. Shouldn’t my progress be based on my research level? How can I be asked to hunt down criminals…” I was full of complaints, complaining that Kim Bradley had arranged for him to chase a man named Barry The eyes of Yi Dao Ren, who had no more time to study alchemy, flashed in his eyes: “How about I take this opportunity to leave Central City?”

The idea of leaving Central City came to mind, but after looking at the tall and strong Alex Louis Armstrong and the corner of his mouth with a hint of unpleasant grin, Mas Hughes, Yi Daoren sighed. After a sigh of relief, “Major Hughes, Major Armstrong, do you have any information on the criminal named Barry?”

Shaking his head, Maas Xiuzi said: “He hides very well, the incidents so far have all happened late at night, and the information obtained by the intelligence department only shows that he is the owner of a butcher’s shop, the first The one who killed was his wife… This kind of guy deserves to go to hell!”

After learning about Barry’s actions, Marth Hughes, who was in love with his wife, naturally hated Barry to the extreme.

Curling his lips, Yi Daoren said lightly: “Then what should we do? Several ladies have been killed in the middle of the night. If this continues, everyone in the central city will be in danger, and their trust in the army will be reduced. The Fordsett will be at war soon.”

“That’s why President Bradley arranged for you and Major Armstrong to help me catch Barry together!”

“I don’t know where and how he caught him… The people he killed were all women, and they were also beautiful women. It seems that he has a lot of resentment for beautiful women. How about finding a beautiful woman wandering in the alley at night, and then we The mantis catches the cicada or the oriole behind?”

Alex Louis Armstrong nodded, touched his chin and smiled: “This is a good idea, but putting a lady in danger is really not what a good man does… Prayer Yi, you are thin… what?”

“Don’t give me any bad ideas!” He glared at Alex Louis Armstrong coldly, and the Yi Daoren took back the hand that was thumping against Alex Louis Armstrong’s chest but was stopped, and said lightly: “There is a soldier in the army. Anyone willing to help?”

“Well…” After making a thoughtful expression, Maas Huoz suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something: “By the way, Lieutenant Hawkeye and Lieutenant Colonel Mastan will come to Central City in the next two days. Why don’t you ask Lieutenant Hawkeye to do me a favor? Prayer Yi is thin, but he looks like that, so he shouldn’t be able to seduce Barry.”

“Master Mustang and them?” Yi Daoren’s brows were slightly wrinkled, and he secretly shouted that trouble was coming, but he said lightly: “Mr. Xiuzi, your words make people very uncomfortable! And I didn’t say don’t call me. Prayer?”

“Don’t worry, these are just little things… Right, Major Armstrong.”

“That’s right! Prayer Yi, what a good name!” Unlike Yi Dao who secretly called for trouble, Alex Louis Armstrong said with a smile on his face: “Zhongzhu Mastan and they will come? If they are willing to It would be great to help! The Alchemist of Flame and Hawkeye, with their help, there must be no problem in catching a small corpse madman!”

“Tsk!” After smacking his lips, Yi Daoren turned his head in annoyance, but suddenly saw a gray-haired old man dressed in completely different clothes from the country of Amestris staring at him, but he looked over. At that time, the old man turned around and left, causing Yi Daoren to frown.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Yi Daoren frowning, Maas Xiuzi thought that Yi Daoist had found something, and immediately followed Yi Daoren’s gaze, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “You are really not from the new country. Is it easy? Prayers.”

“No, what’s wrong?”

“That person should be a businessman from Xinguo, you can tell by looking at his clothes.” After observing Yi Daoren’s expression, he saw that Yi Daoren’s face showed not very obvious surprise, Maas Huozi smiled. : “Looking at him, I thought you knew him.”

“Anyone from Xinguo…” Yi Daoren’s brows loosened, and after thinking about it, he smiled, “Then I should go get acquainted, and if I have the opportunity to go to Xinguo in the future, I will have someone to borrow it.”

After Yi Daoren said these words, Maas Xiuzi’s eyes sharpened instantly, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, but after watching Yi Daoren carefully for a moment, he smiled again: “Then let’s get to know him now, tonight. We still have work to do.”

Daoist Yi looked at Maas Huoz with some surprise, and then smiled: “Then see you tonight, Major Huoz, Major Armstrong.”

“See you tonight”

“See you tonight”

Yi Daoren gave a military salute according to the etiquette, and then walked in the direction where the old man from the new country left.

After watching the Yi Daoist leave, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly whispered, “Why let him contact the Xinguoren?”

“We can’t stop him from going to see the people of the new country. Rather than let him be enraged by us to join the Central Military Department, it is better to let him have a chance to leave!” Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, Mas Hughes laughed Said: “Also, Roy and the others have already arrived in Central City!”

“Uh… you really can bluff people.”

According to the information obtained from the enquiry on the road, Yi Daoren turned left and right, and came to the entrance of an alley, and he could not help frowning.

He was here to chase the old businessman from the new country, and he planned to have a good relationship with the old businessman from the new country. If he escaped from the country of Amestris in the future, he would have a place to go.

But the situation in front of him made him know that the old businessman in the new country he was planning to deal with didn’t seem to be an easy target!

“Do you have anything to do with me? Mr. Captain of Amestris.”

An old but energetic voice came from behind, which made Yi Daoren froze. He turned around and saw the old Xinguo businessman who was close at hand. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.

After Yi Daoist learned to perceive the dragon pulse, his perception became more and more acute. Usually, let alone an old businessman in Xinguo who touches his back in an unmanned alley, he is so close that he can take his life in an instant. In the crowd, he will also feel the person behind him!

But this old businessman from the new country quietly touched his back… Dangerous! very dangerous!

Yi Daoren, who had this knowledge in his heart, hesitated for a while whether to get involved with this old businessman in the new country.

If you accidentally get out of the wolf’s den and enter the tiger’s mouth, it is not funny to describe. Yi Daoren doesn’t want to become that kind of hard-working existence.

“Mr. Captain?” Seeing that Daoist Yi didn’t answer his question, the old businessman from Xinguo raised his brows and asked again, but his tone was a little unpleasant.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” When he came back to his senses, Yi Daoren first apologized, and then smiled: “My name is Yi Daoren, because of my name, I have always been considered to be related to Xinguo, but I have never seen Xinguo people. Now When I see the old man, I want to get acquainted.”

For the old businessman of the new country to know that he is a captain, Yi Daoren is not at all surprised. He is not wearing the white coat of the researcher at the Third Research Institute, but the blue Armestris military uniform. Also has the captain’s epaulettes representing his identity.

“Yi Daoren?” The old businessman from Xinguo was stunned for a while. After looking at Yi Daoren in surprise, he nodded slightly and said, “The old man’s surname is Hu, you can just call me Lao Hu.”

After introducing himself, Lao Hu looked at Yi Daoren again, then frowned slightly, and said solemnly: “Has Captain Yi really never seen a Xinguoren? Then how do you know alchemy?”

“Uh…you can tell that I can do alchemy?” Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu in amazement.

“It seems that you are really not from the new country…” Shaking his head, Lao Hu said with a smile: “Your qi and nature’s qi coexist in harmony, inseparable, this is a phenomenon unique to alchemists, Amestralis. Although the alchemists in the country can sense the energy of nature, they cannot live in harmony with it.”

“I see… Thank you Lao Hu for your advice! If Lao Hu knows about alchemists so well, could it be that he is also an alchemist?”

Shaking his head, Lao Hu said with a smile, “I’m not an alchemist, I’m just a martial artist who knows how to fight.”

“Wufu? Do you mean a fighter?” Yi Daoren looked at Lao Hu in surprise.

Although Lao Hu’s voice is full of energy, he is not tall, only reaching Yi Daoren’s chin, and Yi Daoren’s height is 1.8 meters. Converted, Lao Hu’s height is about 1.6 meters, and he looks thin and thin. Yes, so Yi Dao people do not believe that Lao Hu is a fighter.

But remembering that Lao Hu could silently go around behind him without being noticed by himself, Yi Daoren believed it a little more.

But compared to a fighter, Yi Daoren felt that Lao Hu was more like a killer… Of course, he wouldn’t say this without thinking: “Then you must be a strong fighter, Lao Hu!”

“I can’t say it’s strong, it’s just enough to deal with ordinary thieves.” With a casual smile, Lao Hu suddenly took out a pocket watch and looked at the time, frowning: “It’s all this time… Sorry, Captain Yi, I still have I have something to do, so I can’t chat with you. So, if you have something to call me, go to the Hilton Hotel and find me. Until October, I stayed at the Hilton Hotel.”

“I should say sorry for bothering you for so long.”

With a wave of his hand, Lao Hu turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said lightly, “Is Captain Yi from Amestris?”

“Why do you ask that?” Yi Daoren frowned slightly.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that some of your habits are different from those of the people in the country of Amestris… Of course, this may also be caused by my unfamiliarity with the country of Amestris. I have only been in this country for a month, I hope Captain Yi can take care of him more in the future.”

After speaking, Lao Hu turned around and left without waiting for Yi Daoren to answer.

“What a careful person… Lao Hu… is he really a businessman?” Watching Lao Hu’s thin figure drifting away, Yi Daoren stood there and thought for a while, then turned and walked in the other direction. There, It’s his way home.

Although it’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, because Barry is out to commit crimes at night, the work time of the Yi Daoist who wants to arrest Barry has also been adjusted to the evening. Now he should take a rest at this time and doze off when he works at night. .

However, when he returned to the front of the house, Yi Daoren suddenly saw a somewhat familiar person in front of his house, holding a letter and stuffing it into the mailbox.

“Mr. Tucker? Is there something wrong?” After thinking about it, Yi Daoren suddenly remembered that the person he interviewed last year was the only alchemist who wanted to work at the Third Research Institute.

It’s just that Shaw Tucker at that time didn’t have any research results at all, just submitted some theoretical things, but he was rejected.

Startled by Daoist Yi’s voice, Xiao Tucker turned around immediately, and when he saw Daoist Yi, he was stunned for a moment: “Researcher Yi? Uh… I’m fine, why did you come back so early? Uh… You’re still a captain. ?”

Isn’t Yi Daoren a researcher at the Third Research Institute? Why did you become a lieutenant again?

Looking at the Yi Dao man in military uniform, Shaw Tucker felt a little confused for a while.

“I was originally a captain, I just worked in the Third Research Institute. Now that the president has orders, I can only come out to work…” With a smile, Yi Daoren stretched out his hand to lead his home and said, “Come in and have a cup of coffee. .”

“No, thank you Researcher Yi…Captain.” He waved his hand quickly, and Shaw Tucker smiled a little embarrassedly: “I’m here to show you some of my research reports, you didn’t tell me before. The concept of genes? I seem to have found something.”

Hearing that Xiao Tucker said that he had really researched some genetic results, Yi Daoren was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, “Don’t you want to come in and talk?”

In the impression of Yi Daoren, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com genes store all the information of life’s race, blood type, gestation, growth, apoptosis and other processes. If Shaw Tucker really researches something, it will definitely be A major event that shook the entire alchemy world of Amestris!

Shaking his head, Shaw Tucker smiled wryly: “No, you can read my research report first. My wife just gave birth to a child, I still need to go back and watch… Otherwise, I don’t know she will count me. What will it look like.”

“Is this… so urgent?” Looking at Xiao Tucker, who was smiling bitterly, Yi Daoren nodded, and after thinking about it, he smiled: “Well then, tell me your address, if you are free I’ll go to your place sometime and talk to you about genetics.”

“Really?” His eyes lit up, and Shaw Tucker said with a smile, “I live in…”

After watching Shaw Tucker leave with a smile on his face, Yi Daoren looked at the thick stack of research reports in his hand, and smiled: “I didn’t expect that some people have actually researched what they said casually… Let me see. Will you surprise me?”

While flipping, Yi Daoren opened the door and walked into the house.

But Yi Daoren didn’t notice that in the shadow of one of his houses, two people were watching him enter the room, one of them was Lao Hu who he had talked to a few times before!

“Elder Hu, is that guy following you?”

“That’s right. Help me investigate his origins!”

“Yes!”

After the other person left, Lao Hu looked at Yi Daoren’s house for a while, and whispered softly: “Riyueyi… This surname is not often seen in our new country. I didn’t expect to see one here. I can’t be a help for the young master to fight for the crown prince. Your Majesty’s body won’t last for a few years…”
