Chapter 1, Rookie Inspector.

He always requests the purchase of some very peculiar plants, even if he only needs certain roots or leaves. Although they are not considered rare or exotic, collecting them is quite troublesome

Hello, I am the client, Fran. Fran stammered as he greeted them in an Eastern language

For this high-end dress that cannot be washed, the cost of cleaning will delay her dreams by several more days

With this cleverness, his position rose steadily, from the initial role of recorder to that of clerk, and then to trainee prosecutor. If he makes appropriate rulings in a few cases, Fran believes that the title of trainee will soon be removed.

He knows that the guy has appeared again

Even the bustling revelry of the city that never sleeps has gradually faded into a hazy silence

Fulan waved his hand with reluctance, signaling the coachman not to bother with the change. He then turned and walked up the two steps, pushing open the somewhat weathered red-painted wooden door of the tavern

Fulan clearly knows what the free gift has been given to him many times, that soft and delicate gift, on many lonely nights, igniting passion in his shabby little apartment

Currently, I am still just an intern, but after a few more court cases, I believe the official status is not far off. Fulang boasted confidently, sharing in Anmei's joy, and he felt quite warm inside.

If it were not for the sake of making a living, who would be willing to endure hardship by working outside in the cold weather?

Fulan Fuleier stood in the stone-arched entrance of the apartment, complaining about the dreadful weather. He was a tall, slender young man, with his lips pressed tightly into a thin line, and his brown pupils, matching his hair, gave him a slightly aloof appearance

The Midnight Butcher, this is the term used within the patrol team to refer to that guy

to describe it in the words of a proverb, it is simply a "naturally cold face"

The Golden Goose Tavern is probably the liveliest place on Green Agate Street, featuring inexpensive and delicious beer, exuberant and uninhibited barmaids, as well as the most famous private rooms. Although it may be vulgar, every normal man can find his own enjoyment there

"It won't do now; I still have work to do this afternoon." Fulan took out a black badge engraved with 'Tianping' and proudly waved it in front of Anmei.

"Fleir is quite a handsome young man, though he does appear a bit too cool," many girls have remarked.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, the destination was reached

The red rooftops, the exaggerated billboards, and the loud clamor of the drunkards continuously emanate from the windows

Due to the cold, the blood has not completely coagulated, staining the damp pavement with a layer of thick red

The "Code of Conduct of the Seventh Court," as everyone affectionately refers to it

When the man raised the hand that had been hidden behind him, the glint of the sharp knife flashed under the light, causing Mamer's alluring eyes to turn filled with terror and despair

For a part-time barmaid in certain industries, this dress is one of her highly favored secret weapons

The inclement weather has made the transportation industry in Feidu unusually busy, with carriages carrying passengers flowing continuously. The wheels churn the muddy water, splashing it everywhere, as the coachmen skillfully maneuver their vehicles to avoid various obstacles, speeding along the not-so-wide road

From the age of sixteen to twenty-three, over the course of seven years, Fulan has memorized the legal code thoroughly and has accumulated a wealth of experience. At times, even some senior judges in court rely on him to discreetly remind them of the contents of legal provisions.

The grayish-white mist rendered the Green Agate Square desolate; this old square, which has seen better days, is currently cordoned off by a squad of mounted police. Occasionally, early-rising residents curiously approach to find out what has happened, only to be promptly dismissed by the soldiers.

After all, in a world where interests reign supreme, the only one who truly wishes him well is this young lady

Then a certain patron would say a few words to the owner, and quietly slip a few silver coins, purchasing the right to spend some time alone with her in a small room upstairs in the bar

This impoverished lord, who does not even possess a private carriage and has fallen to living in the old town, finds that the people who make a living here exhibit a kind and tolerant disposition. After all, having a genuine nobleman residing nearby is something that instills a sense of pride. Moreover, this lord is courteous and possesses a refinement and demeanor that set him apart from commoners

"When the tavern closes, remember to come pick me up," said An Mei, her pretty little face flushed. She pouted her playful little nose and added, "I have a gift for you to celebrate, it's free."

She is a vibrant young woman, with two green eyes that sparkle like the finest agate, evoking love and admiration. Tiny, faint freckles adorn her nose, adding a playful charm to her overall appearance. "Anmei, stop scaring people," Fulan said irritably, waving her hand and pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the beer that had splashed onto her sleeve.

Therefore, when that man approached her, Mabel decided to conduct another business transaction

If it were not for selling a gilded picture frame left behind by her father, Fulan would truly be unable to come up with the funds

They have long been aware of this special customer

The father, who had a considerable understanding of the law, left behind a substantial amount of notes during his lifetime. It was only after thoroughly studying these notes that Fran, with the assistance of a distant relative, managed to secure a job at the court.

A businessman who appeared to be the leader took the delivery order, examined it carefully, and revealed a slight smile

Although Feidu is located on the border, a hundred years ago, the Marmork merchants, who crossed the tumultuous and desolate sea with fleets laden with precious goods, quickly transformed this remote fishing village into the most prosperous commercial city of the entire Byron Empire

If there is no stock available, a deposit of half the amount will be collected first, and the goods can be picked up during the next return.

Moments later, in a corner of the Golden Goose Tavern, the noise of a table being overturned and the whistles of onlookers filled the air. The owner behind the bar, looking at the two people who had fallen to the ground in an embrace, shouted loudly, "My lord, if you need the small room upstairs now, I can give you a 20% discount."

He weighed the purse found on the corpse, listening to the crisp sound of the coins clinking together, and Lem muttered a few curses under his breath

"My lord, it has been a few days since we last met." Someone whispered sweetly in Fulan's ear, as a slick object quickly licked his earlobe.

The tavern was quite warm. Fulan moved his somewhat stiff body, nodded to a few acquaintances who greeted him, and walked towards the table in the corner where a group of Eastern merchants had gathered

The unbearable agony shattered all her thoughts and perceptions into fragments, and soon, she knew nothing at all

The night is already very deep, with not a single star in sight, only countless raindrops falling from the sky, striking life with pain.

This almost flirtatious robbery is a little game that he and An Mei often play, and it symbolizes their familiarity with each other. Fu Lan is also quite happy to use this method to give her some small gifts

The pepper and wool produced here can be transported, yielding rewards sufficient to satisfy any greedy merchant

The dim light made it difficult for Mamer to see the man's features, but the loud sound of his tall boots on the pavement, the slender cane in his hand, and the carriage parked behind him all suggested that this man could afford her

Seeing the somewhat wary expressions of the merchants, Fulan took out a note.

Oh? How beautiful!" An Mei quickly snatched the handkerchief, carefully examining the lily pattern and lace embroidery on it, and then brazenly placed it into her own waist pouch

The chill of the overcast winter feels like a heavy fog embracing the entire city, with the sky shrouded in gray, obscuring the sunlight. The thick, dim clouds finally parted at noon, and after a half-day's respite, the persistent drizzle resumed, weaving a curtain of rain like silver threads.

The valuable items carried by the victims were never lost

The car was driven very steadily, but cold rain mixed with ice particles poured in through the damaged crack in the roof, causing Fulan to shiver and pull up her collar

Licking her full, sensual lips, Mamer leaned her body against the lamppost, gently rotating the handle of her umbrella, trying to reveal her long, athletic legs from beneath her skirt. Her proud bosom elegantly outlined a magnificent curve beneath her clothing. When it comes to the art of seducing men, she is certainly not lacking.

Although the old man's soft and squishy thing made Mamer's tongue work hard all night, resulting in his immense satisfaction, the cost was that his jaw was sore and numb the next day

Hmm. Fran gently patted Anmei's head and said softly to her, "Just wait a little longer, once I take up the position of prosecutor, I will be able to support you."

Anmei widened her beautiful green eyes and excitedly rubbed against Fulan, "Have you been promoted to prosecutor?" she exclaimed

Generally, it takes about fifteen minutes, sometimes a bit longer, and in Mamer's purse, there will also be an additional jingling item.

Glass, spices, seasonings, and many other rare items previously unheard of can be exchanged for tenfold profits as long as they can be transported to Feidu without any loss

The snuff box inlaid with silver foil, the elegantly designed lighter, the unique collar buttons... countless trinkets, all of which have changed owners at this https://m.hetushucom.com

After settling the remaining payment, the merchant returned to the room and, after a moment, handed him a bulging little leather pouch.

Each time, there are missing limbs

Marmar has only been there once, and that was half a year ago, when an elderly nobleman purchased her for an entire night with a gold Caesar coin

Everyone knows that Mabel is the most famous signature performer at the Golden Goose Tavern. When she performs a sizzling dance at the table, the excited shouts of the men can almost lift the roof off.

Startled, and nearly knocking over his wine glass, Fran realized that a young blonde bartender was silently standing behind him, smiling like a cunning little cat

Fulan took a silver coin from her purse and handed it to the coachman, watching as he rummaged through his pockets for change, his swollen hands covered in frostbite.

Thus, only large trading caravans under the command of Ahmad would accept his orders. To a great extent, it was not for the sake of profit, but rather for the reputation of being the foremost merchant of the Spice Route

Fulan helplessly shrugged; in front of this little wild cat, she could not present anything more delicate.

Connecting the East and the West, the trade route known as the Spice Route had its first stop in the West at Fidu

Golden Horn Bay, merchants named this straight and wide excellent estuary where the city of Fei Du is located with this affluent name

This is also the reason why he sold his ancestral home and relocated to live in the old district

Detective Knight of the patrol team received the report in the early morning

Just after passing through the Green Agate Square, Mamer stopped at the street corner. Under the dim light of the magic crystal street lamp, she looked sorrowfully at the dress she had just bought. The beautiful layered hem was already stained with several spots of mud

"Damn the weather," Mamer murmured, carefully using her finger to wipe, but only succeeded in spreading the yellowish dirt further, deepening the furrow in her brow.

This is the reason why countless merchants flock to it, even at the risk of their lives, to travel between the two places

If I work for a few more years, I will be able to afford a two-story house with a backyard in the suburbs, or perhaps go further afield and marry a decent man. Every night before falling asleep, Mamer would always count today's earnings, happily calculating her future.

"Quickly ascertain her identity," Lame instructed his subordinate. After a pause, he looked at the provocative dress and added, "Go to the bar and the street of courtesans to inquire if anyone is missing."

"Please take me to the Golden Goose Tavern." Fulan grasped the handle outside the carriage and stepped onto the wagon

Tying the sheepskin pouch around his waist, Fran found an empty spot against the wall, ordered a beer, and after raising his glass in a distant gesture towards the merchants who were still whispering about him, he began to sip it slowly.

Soon, Mamer regretted her greed

Each incision on the corpse is neat and orderly without any disorder

Laim slowly lifted the black cloth covering the corpse, revealing a headless body before him, that of a remarkably well-proportioned young woman

However, Mamer still fondly remembers the feeling of rolling on a bed covered with soft feather cushions

Mabel stepped out of the Golden Goose Tavern. At this moment, the rain mixed with snow that had fallen all day made the entire city resemble a woman who had just been joyfully embraced, damp and weary

If he is a gentleman, then she might still consider visiting that expensive hotel on Diamond Street that leaves one speechless

This is Alif, the most powerful figure among the merchants operating in the spice trade, presenting his delivery order.

The nobility would certainly not go to the small room upstairs, so she was taken to the palace— for Mamer, the luxurious decor of that inn was no different from the palace she had imagined

For the sake of these matters, Fulan not only waited for four months but also took out a total of 20 gold coins, which is sufficient for an ordinary family to live without worry for half a year.

An old cart came to a stop in front of Fulan. "My lord, where would you like to go?" the coachman said respectfully

From the grandfather's title of viscount, to the father's title of baron, by the time it was passed down to him, there were no longer any properties left in the family, except for the lowest rank of noble title

"What’s wrong? Do you miss me?" An Mei wrapped her arms around Fu Lan's neck, gently breathing into his ear, "If we go to the small room now, it will cost money, you know."

Perhaps compared to the City of a Thousand Towers, Anno, Feidu lacks a touch of mystery and beauty; perhaps compared to the Eternal Capital, Tangdin, Feidu falls short in solemnity and grandeur. However, even the most widely traveled wandering poet cannot deny that the City of Eternal Night, Feidu, is the most marvelous city they have ever encountered

The Fulan family is a noble lineage that began to decline a long time ago
