164 – They’ve Taken Shirley
“Shir, Shirley, where are you going?”
“They wanted to talk to me.”
“No, it could be dangerous!”
“I’m not in the right place to argue about danger.”
Shirley said, and Jens fell off when the two navies, much bigger than her, looked in her direction.
Soon a carriage carrying Shirley headed to Dumfelt. Evan talked to Shirley in a carriage of three people. “I heard it started last summer.”
“Hey, that’s right.”
“Do you remember what police station it was in the capital?”
“It was where the square was…”
It was where the main office was located. Evan looked at Viktor and said, “As the captain said, I’m sure I’ll have to tell you what I’m hearing.”
Instead of answering, Viktor nodded slightly, then pulled out his cigarette and asked. Shirley said, shaking her hands.
“Give me that cigarette, too…”
Then Evan gave up a box of cigarettes and said, “You can smoke all of this.”
“I think it’s a good thing I followed you.”
Shirley said, taking out a cigarette and biting it in her mouth.
It took five hours for the carriage to reach Dumfelt Street. Shirley, who got off the carriage, opened her mouth to a threatening mansion.
“Well, what’s all that…”
Shirley only looked around, questioning where she was going now. Evan asked Viktor.
“Did he use the same drug as Miss Scarlett?”
“I’m sure they experimented. Before they used the drug on Scarlett.”
“…wow.”
Evan shook his head in triumph.
Certainly, Shirley was about the same build as Scarlett. There was no connection, so she would have been a suitable experimental subject for the Royal Police.
Viktor was almost certain of his idea as he saw the Vestina spies mention Scarlett Crimson. And Shirley’s presence proved it. The use of the drug may have been due to Scarlett’s memory skills. Royal police could have deliberately given her a drug to sharpen her memories. And perhaps it was a gift for Vestina.

When Shirley disappeared, her neighbour, Jens, immediately ran to the nearest downtown. Then she ran to the store where the phone was.
“I’m calling the Royal Police.”
Because it was a foregone conclusion, the shopkeeper nodded at the phone.
Jens immediately called the Royal Police Agency. And soon, the royal police answered the phone.
Yes.
“My name is Jens.”
Then she heard a phone call from the other side, and soon someone answered it.
“What is the matter.”
“They took Shirley.”
-…who?
“I think it’s the Navy. I don’t know…” And soon, there was a bang.
“Is it so hard to keep an eye on a girl? How much money did we give you?”
“Oh, I couldn’t help it! There’s no way I can do anything with my power.… They were big… you know, big guys…”
“Damn it.”
She heard swearing over the phone. And the other party, Hughan Hunter, yelled at her. “Put the shopkeeper on the phone.”
“Yes, yes!”
Jens quickly changed the line to the owner of the store. The shopkeeper answered the phone and quickly agreed to whatever Hughan said, then hung up.
He left the counter. Then he walked to Jens and stabbed her with the knife he had brought. Jens fell to the spot with no time to scream, and immediately the breath of life was sucked out of her.

The disappearance of the experimental subject put much psychological pressure on Hughan Hunter. This was even more serious in that Viktor Dumfelt was the one who took her.
The variable in all matters was Viktor Dumfelt. He had been escorting Scarlett all this time, and Hughan did not expect him to hover around her.
Hughan Hunter had to find a way to break the situation. Perhaps they had to make Scarlett Crimson give up her technical skills. Viktor may have already noticed the experiments were subjected to the drug.
Hughan identified a photo of Scarlett Crimson kept by the Royal Police. These were pictures of her secretly in the watch shop.
When Hylum was a royal police officer, it was easy for royal police disguised as guests to infiltrate the store, but it was now impossible. Hylum no longer seemed to have any intention of cooperating with the Royal Police, and it was not easy to handle it quietly.
Hughan Hunter, who was fiddling with the photo, soon presented the photo to his subordinate, who entered the office.
“Put this picture in the newspaper. Make sure it becomes ‘loud’.”
“The picture?”
When his subordinates wondered, Hughan said.
“Pirates are gnashing their teeth to find a way to avenge Viktor Dumfelt.”
“Oh… yes, sir.”
When this picture was published, the pirates would notice Scarlett’s appearance wherever she went. Then the pirates would take care of the situation in the background without them lifting a hand.
Unfortunately for Scarlett Crimson, she was the best way to divert Viktor Dumfelt’s attention for now.
Scarlett’s face was immediately featured in the morning paper the next day after his order was given.
