MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 15 make money
Chapter 15 Making money
In fact, even without the safety notice issued by Mr. Coleman, due to the professionalism of a "famous thief", Tu Fu also noticed that the number of police cars on the main street has increased recently.
On the way home several times, Tu Fu came across a police car patrolling. He resisted his instinct to escape, for fear that someone would come to arrest him.
"The three main districts of Leeds (Green District, Wood District, and Central District), including the main river Moine River, have been successfully unlocked.
In addition to this, there are three other districts and suburban areas that have not been surveyed. It is estimated that it will take at least one month to unlock a new area in free time every Sunday. "
After returning to the room, Tu Fu concentrated on drawing on the paper.
On the desktop is a map of the whole city of Leeds that sells for only 5 pence, which is cheaper than the price of a newspaper.
Every passing area in the urban area was marked by him with a marker pen. In less than a week, relying on horse-drawn trains and other traffic, Tu Fu quickly unlocked the observable area of half the city of Leeds.
All these preparations are done in order to spy more secrets when returning to the ghost ship next time.
"At the same time, Mr. Alonso and the people from the underground trading organization have not seen any movement for so long, and they probably gave up." He ticked off this matter.
By the way, mark the location of the "Old Hunter" tavern and memorize it as a control point.
As far as Tu Fu knows, as long as the monitoring equipment on the ship can be turned on, the video recording function can be triggered, and the video data of the last three months can be automatically saved.
And he learned that extraordinary people exist in small circles, and trade through gatherings.
In this way, if you want to get new news, you must deploy control in advance.
"The last is the murder case in the Wood District. Grace mentioned that the same incident happened a month ago, which may be a good opportunity."
Tu Fu added this latest incident that may involve mystery to his notepad, which is also an object worthy of attention.
It just so happens that the murders happened in the Wood area, and the murderer can also be checked from the surveillance.
Looking at the pile of notes in front of him, in order to prevent the content inside from being deciphered, Tu Fu specially used Chinese characters to encrypt.
Fortunately, after reviewing the historical data, there was no suspected time traveler before him.
this means,
In the future, you don’t have to worry about pretending to be second-hand.
"Finally, there is the issue of potions. You can find a safe place to take them while ensuring that there is no risk at all. It is best not to take them in Leeds."
Then the basic situation is like this.
Tu Fu classified the tasks according to the urgency of the tasks, and figured out the general direction after coming to this world.
Working hard as an ordinary person, you can peek into the extraordinary without getting involved too deeply.
The process of completing the recording work is unavoidable. Compared with the big shots in Leeds, Tu Fu will know more about the secrets hidden in the city's darkness and those shady deals.
Although, this excitement did not last for too long.
After retracting the perspective of God, Tu Fu touched his empty pocket, and was surprised to find an incredible thing.
He has no money.
This is a very real problem.
That's right, even though he is the super-fraud Mr. "Grand Thief", playing with many extraordinary people at his fingertips.
But he has no money now.
Yes, even though he has the potion in his hand, he can cross the restricted area at any time and become a freak with extraordinary power.
But he really has no money now.
Yes, even though he controls the eye of the sky, he monitors every move of the city at all times, comparable to an omniscient and omnipotent god.
But now, even going to and from school by car every day has to rely on Sophie's wallet, and owes a lot of money to the young lady.
If this continues, I don’t know how long it will take to get enough tuition for public universities.
The word "poor" in capital red was almost engraved on the forehead.
"It can't go on like this."
After reorganizing his thoughts, Tu Fu suddenly crossed out the first line of the notebook to expand the scope of monitoring, and rewritten and added a more important matter to the previous page.
and ranked first.
There are only two simple and simple words—making money!
Make money!
Still making money!
After figuring it out, Tu Fu acted immediately and whispered: "Beautiful Sophie~"
The beautiful Miss Winston was in the next room. After hearing the call, she opened the door expressionlessly: "I declare in advance that I will refuse to accept all your stupid challenges from now on."
In the past few days, Tu Fu has tried his best to win a lot of pennies from her to pay for the fare, including but not limited to betting, telling stories, guessing puzzles, and brain teasers.
Almost made Tu Fu try his best to cheat the little girl out of money.
"Okay, but I guess Miss Sophie, who is beautiful, kind, and warm-hearted, is more beautiful than a princess, and better than an angel, I believe you will definitely not refuse to lend me five pools." Tu Fu vowed.
Sophie opened her mouth without thinking, "I refuse."
"It's a deal, thank you again for your generosity."
After a short few seconds, Sophie changed slightly, and then she realized that this was a double negative sentence, so she stared at her big eyes full of murderous intent.
"Hasn't uncle come back yet?"
Tu Fu glanced at the time of the cuckoo clock and changed the subject naturally.
Sophie is no stranger to this: "It should be delayed by boring entertainment."
It was already close to ten o'clock. Some time after dinner, my aunt hadn't waited for my uncle to come home. Mrs. Anfer, who still hadn't received any news, was like an active volcano about to erupt.
Just as the two were talking about this, there was finally movement at the downstairs door. Officer Winston greeted Mrs. Anfer skillfully after entering the door.
Uncle Ethan came back very late tonight, later than any other day, he took off his uniform casually, full of exhaustion.
Before my aunt got angry, my uncle took the initiative to explain, "Madam more beautiful than an angel, today we have taken over a big case, which is very important.
All the officers of the Leeds precinct are gathered in Wood, and you can ask anyone about that. "
Mrs. Anfeier immediately stepped forward to give her uncle a warm hug. She touched the fabric of the hem of the clothes in a professional way, scratched every corner under the collar, and sniffed the breath of his collar.
Until nothing was found, then that angry face turned into a smile: "Ethan, of course I believe you."
"What is this smelling?"
The uncharacteristic Tu Fu, who peeped at his aunt from upstairs, was full of doubts. Sophie, who was about to go back to the room, laughed mockingly: "The smell of bad perfume and alcohol."
"I see."
Tu Fu suddenly realized this logic, presumably only dance halls and some unscrupulous clubs can emit such a smell.
As for the hug, I'm afraid they are also looking for the hair scattered on the clothes.
Sure enough, there is no easy word in the world of adults.
"Fortunately, I was caught by my uncle last time."
Tu Fu felt guilty again, he had an ominous premonition.
Assuming that one day he is serious and just wants to enjoy the dance, that dangerous joke may come true when he goes to the ballroom.
I don't know whether "green oranges" are planted in the rich northern and southern continents.
"God is above, I finally don't have to play with those idiots from Fangsheng Church in the future."
The uncle who took off his uniform went to the dining table, and suddenly smiled gratifiedly, "This is a big case, and I may be very busy in the near future, but with my qualifications, if I can contribute to solving the case, I will definitely be promoted in a short time. "
Mrs. Anfill knew that what Ethan said was actually correct. State police agencies generally include criminal police, security police, police reserve and water (sea) police. Ethan's establishment is a serious criminal police. Without a strong relationship, if you want to be promoted, you can only rely on your personal ability to solve cases and accumulate meritorious service.
The sad thing is that the detection rate of the case handling team led by Ethan has been ranked first in the bureau for several consecutive years. In a sense, it is not something ordinary people can do.
"What case is that?"
"Regarding the murders in the Wood area, many people died. I can't disclose too many details. But don't worry, there are many people in the hall. I don't think the murderer will be caught in a long time."
Ethan generously shared this matter, he has not smiled so happily for a long time.
"Murder case? Why do such a dangerous thing." The aunt frowned sadly, she valued her husband's safety more than her promotion. Even though he always complained that this guy in his family was really not up to date, but now that he knew that he had accepted such a dangerous murder case, he couldn't help but want to persuade him.
"Believe me, compared to those terrible kingdom wars I experienced when I was young, this is actually not dangerous, and no one can compare to me in terms of life-saving."
Ethan intentionally made the topic easier, "It's not just a job change, the state will also give a lot of rewards to the team leader who solves the case, which is also a very important income for our family." Zhi, Ma'am, it's time for you to add some new clothes."
For him, the temptation to make money is far higher than promotion.
"But there is still no need to touch such a dangerous thing."
Mrs. Anfield really doesn't understand why a person like her husband who is unmotivated, muddling along, and content with the status quo suddenly works so hard.
In the past, because of this incident, the couple had a lot of quarrels.
"There are some other reasons."
"Tell me."
Ethan spoke with a very serious expression, "Do you remember? My husband said that he would try to get a good grade in the exam, and he planned to try to apply for a public university locally."
"That's a good joke." The aunt smiled knowingly.
"But you definitely haven't noticed that Xiaofu has been working hard recently. Even if you walk past his room very late, the lights inside are always brightly lit, and the textbooks are full of dense notes.
I secretly asked Mr. Coleman, the old gentleman with a hairline taller than mine at Leeds Comprehensive College.
Xiaofu is really preparing for the advanced selection these days.
He is a strong child. Since Mr. Capet and his wife left, he never expresses his sadness easily, and he will not open his mouth even if he wants something.
So, that's no joke"
Uncle Ethan, who has always been careless, said so.
