Kieran had his dinner in John's office.
Two hot dogs, a doughnut, three pieces of fried chicken, and a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Even though he could only use one hand and the other was cuffed to the chair, it didn't stop Kieran from enjoying his meal.
For Kieran, who had been eating fast food for three years, even fast food was a delicacy.
"Thanks for the food that tastes like real food!"
After pouring the last bit of orange juice into his mouth, Kieran couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction as he savored the sweetness and slight sourness of the orange.
The only thing that made Kieran feel bad was that the food didn't replenish his HP or Stamina.
All it had was the [Hunger] debuff.
Unconsciously, Kieran thought of the canned food and bottled water he got from the newbie dungeon.
"Is this also considered a newbie benefit?"
It was easy for Kieran to connect the dots.
Then, instinctively, Kieran felt bad that he didn't bring more canned food and bottled water with him, even though he had brought out the two most valuable rocket launchers.
Never underestimate a stingy person's stinginess.
When Kieran put the glass back on the table, the office door was pushed open.
John walked in with a cigarette in his mouth and tossed the handcuff key to Kieran.
His meaning was obvious.
Kieran was fine.
After unlocking the handcuffs, Kieran moved his left wrist around and asked, "Who was that guy? Was he hired by one of my old friends? "
"No!
Do you remember when you were catching the murderer today, you helped us catch the pickpockets? "
John asked.
"Don't tell me that the pickpockets nowadays have become so inhumane?"
Kieran pretended to be surprised.
Although he wasn't a real detective, Kieran knew that thieves and pickpockets might be in the grey area, but they would never commit murder.
"Of course they wouldn't, but the big boss behind them would!
"Do you remember the 'Jimmy' I told you?"
John spat out a mouthful of smoke.
"Of course, didn't he go missing?"
"The district you are in charge of has also become chaotic because of his disappearance!"
Kieran nodded.
I've never wished for Jimmy to appear in front of me like I do now!
"Jimmy's disappearance has left the position of the underground boss of this district empty!"
"Those who want to stand out and ascend to the position of the boss are starting to display themselves crazily!"
At this point, John lit up another cigarette irritably.
Even a cigarette had only been lit for less than two minutes.
"So, I am the target of the 'demonstration'?"
Kieran instantly understood.
With John's explanation, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
Today at the train station, the boss behind the pickpocketing gang he uncovered was fighting for this district, and his behavior was naturally seen as a provocation.
Coincidentally, the boss behind the scenes needed more fame.
And what better way to gain fame than to kill someone who had just offended him?
How brave and fierce! How vengeful!
In the eyes of others, it was not desirable.
But in the eyes of the underground, it was an advantage.
"Don't worry, I've already sent my men to bring that bastard back!
I want him to spend the rest of his life in the Black Dungeon! "
John's rough face had an angry smile on it.
Anyone who saw it would feel a chill down their spines.
John had understood the situation at the scene through the patrol officers, so as the chief officer, he knew very well that the gangsters were not just messing around. They were after Kieran's life.
If it wasn't for Kieran's decent fighting skills, the next time he saw Kieran, he would have gone to the morgue at noon.
John still valued his good friend, Kieran. After Kieran had helped him solve a murder case at noon, John had automatically considered Kieran as a good friend.
"Any news on Altilly Hunter?"
With John's assurance, Kieran did not want to pursue the matter any further. Instead, he asked about the young lady's whereabouts.
Kieran knew that the chief officer before him was an upright and righteous man.
He could allow Kieran to defend himself.
But he would never allow Kieran to kill on his own initiative.
Especially when the mastermind was in a terrible state, if Kieran really went to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely be standing on the opposite side of the mastermind.
Before he could find out Altilly Hunter's whereabouts, Kieran did not want to lose his ally.
Otherwise, he would really be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I've already sent out all the men I could.
Including the reserves that I left behind! "
John said.
John's reply made Kieran understand that his Sub Mission [The Female Body at the Police Station] had worked.
Still, Kieran did not mind making John's search easier.
"I got some more accurate news this afternoon.
"There's someone with this young lady!"
Fortunately, this person has an obvious scar on his face. He has a scar that starts between his eyebrows and goes all the way to the left corner of his mouth. His hands are thick, and his back is injured! "
Kieran told John about the clues he had gotten from Guntherson.
Then, he saw that John was in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Kieran asked.
"Is this the guy you're looking for?"
John rummaged through the pile of documents on his desk and found a portrait.
Although Kieran had never seen the man before, when he saw the scar that started between his eyebrows and went all the way to the left corner of his mouth, he was more than half sure that it was him.
However, Kieran did not say it out loud.
Instead, he asked about the man's identity out of curiosity.
"Who is this?
"'Blackhand' Jimmy, the boss of this district!"
Sheriff John replied.
Kieran was stunned on the spot when he heard the answer.
After a while, he rubbed the space between his eyebrows and groaned intermittently.
"Can it be more of a coincidence?
"The Altilly Hunter that I'm looking for is hanging out with a completely unrelated person like Jimmy the Blackhand?"
"This means that the person Altilly Hunter saved was Jimmy the Blackhand!"
Altilly Hunter must have gone missing on a rainy night because she was worried about this injured man. The place he was staying at must have been very simple, so simple that it didn't even have a roof!
If Hunter knew about this, he would be very sad! "
Kieran looked at the portrait in his hand carefully.
This Jimmy, who was known as' Blackhand ', was not very old if his hideous scars were disregarded, and his appearance could be said to be somewhat delicate and pretty.
On top of that, the excitement that came with his identity was unparalleled for a rich young lady like Altilly Hunter.
The worst part was that Altilly Hunter was not a weak young lady. With Guntherson's training, she was much stronger than the average person.
This kind of power made her thirst for adventure even more.
She did not want to be tied down in her father's manor, even if it was for her own good.
At the same time, her strength would be a fatal trigger.
The reality was far crueler than she had imagined.
[Main Mission: Find Altilly Hunter or her body within a month]
Kieran could not help but sigh when he saw the word "body" in the Main Mission.
The description of the Main Mission had already stated what Altilly Hunter would have to go through.
"I don't know if Hunter will be sad or not, but I know that if I can find Jimmy the Black Hand, this mess will be over. I'll have enough time to take care of those bastards one by one!"
John said.
"Then I can only hope that there aren't too many places in the city that are leaking!"
Kieran said with a smile.
"No matter how many there are, I'll find them one by one!"
John said before he turned around and left the office.
Kieran shook his head as he looked at John's departing figure.
It had been almost a full day. It was unlikely that Altilly Hunter and Jimmy were still there.
John knew that as well.
However, they would not give up hope.
That was why Kieran did not try to persuade them.
Kieran stretched his back and stood up from his chair. He picked up the box with the [Viper-M1] and prepared to return to his room.
He did not want to spend the night in his office chair.
When Kieran walked out of his office, he saw a frantic police officer running towards him.
"Hey, Carl!"
Kieran waved at the young officer.
"Detective Kieran, where's the Chief?"
The young officer nodded at Kieran and asked hurriedly.
"John just left!
What's going on? "
Kieran asked curiously.
Although Carl was young, Kieran knew that he was not the type to make a big deal out of nothing. Something must have happened for him to be in such a hurry.
"Our men are fighting with Shuberg's men. They have strong firepower, so we need reinforcements!"
Carl did not try to hide the truth.
"Shuberg?"
Kieran did not have much of an impression of the name.
"He's the one who sent the assassins to kill you on the street!"
Carl explained.
"It's him?"
