Chapter 446: Big Hand Undertaker
"board."
"Saw." Crunch...
"Hammer." Knock knock knock...
"Okay, time to call it a day!" Zhang Da also sat on a stepladder and looked up at the ceiling he had repaired, feeling very satisfied.
Tom, who had been assisting Zhang Daye by handing him tools, immediately moved the ladder away when he heard the word "finish work".
When Zefa walked into the tavern, he saw Zhang Daye floating in the air. He asked in confusion: "Piao-Piao Fruit?"
"Hey, Mr. Zefa? What's that floating fruit?" Zhang Da was also stunned. He reached out and touched his butt, feeling something was wrong. Then he fell down headfirst, "Tom!"
Tom, who was carrying the ladder, looked back and ran faster.
Zhang Da also pulled himself out of the hole in the floor and pulled out a chair next to a table. "Sorry, there was a small accident. Please sit down."
Zefa asked, "What are you doing?"
"I've repaired the ceiling, and now I have to repair the floor." Zhang Da also looked at the hole he had made and felt a little depressed.
Wendy and Xia Lulu sensibly brought over some tea and snacks, then sat quietly aside.
"Thank you." Zefa gave Wendy a loving look. What a well-behaved child, why would she get sick on a warship? He looked at Xia Lulu and asked in confusion, "Is this... a new member?"
Zhang Da also said: "This is Xia Lulu, you have met before."
"Long time no see, Mr. Zephyr." Xia Lulu suddenly transformed back into cat form, stood on the table, and said in a tone like Wendy's parent, "Thank you for your guidance to Wendy at Whiskey Peak."
"So it's the flying little white cat." Zefa finally remembered who Xia Lulu was. "Are you the cat who ate the Human-Human Fruit, or the human who ate the Cat-Cat Fruit?"
"You can understand it however you want. I am who I am anyway." Xia Lulu knew that Zhang Da also liked outsiders to think that everyone was capable, so she deliberately made her words ambiguous.
"Haha, you really are..." Zefa didn't ask any further questions, thinking that they might not trust the navy enough.
Zhang Da didn't want to talk too much about this. He asked, "When did you arrive?"
Zefa took a sip from his teacup and said, "I just arrived this morning. I came to sit with you while the students were out on their mission. Is everyone else here?"
"Some are catching up on sleep, some are out playing, and some are exercising in the yard."
"Boss! That guy..." Rui Mengmeng ran in from the backyard. When she saw Zefa, she was stunned for a moment and stopped talking. "Ah, Mr. Zefa, hello."
"Hello." Zefa greeted with a smile, "What happened?"
Rui Mengmeng looked at Zhang Daye hesitantly, not knowing whether she should tell him this.
Zhang Da considered this and guessed that Altaïr had confessed after being tortured to death. There was nothing to hide. "Don't worry, just tell me. This should have been handled by the navy."
Zefa became interested. What could be so mysterious?
"Oh." Rui Mengmeng said hurriedly after getting permission, "That person committed suicide. You and Wendy should go check it out!"
"What?"
Altaïr was tormented by Perona's Negative Ghost for the entire morning, but he still couldn't get any useful information out of her.
Later, Zhang Da also asked Tom to tickle the soles of his feet with a feather for ten minutes. Artair almost laughed to death but he kept gritting his teeth and persisted, not even revealing his own name.
There was no other way, so he had to put it in the yard and let Rui Mengmeng watch it while he was exercising, hoping to wait for Ye Yan, the shameless guy, to wake up before trying to figure out if there was any solution. Unexpectedly, Rui Mengmeng was not paying attention for a moment, and he found the opportunity to end his life.
By the time Zhang Daye and Wendy checked on Altaïr, he was already completely dead, and there was nothing they could do to save him.
"This is the killer we caught last night." Zhang Da also briefly explained the situation to Zefa. "The sheriff came this morning and after hearing that it was a killer, he didn't dare to take him in. He asked us to hand him over to the navy. Unexpectedly, before we could send him over..."
There is a common sense in being a sheriff in 59GR, which is to stroll around Tatsuya's tavern every morning, and you will get some gains every few days. But today the sheriff was scared. It is okay to catch some thieves and robbers, but killers are too scary. He is afraid that he will die without getting any credit, so he decided to push it to the navy.
Zefa stroked the sparse stubble on his chin and guessed, "This style, and this outfit... are somewhat similar to the style of the 'Big Hand Mortician'."
"Big Hand Funeral Director?" Zhang Da had also heard of this person. It sounded like he was in the funeral business, but that was just a cover. In fact, his main business was the killer business, organ trafficking business, and even the slave trade business, which were shady things.
Maybe after his own killer kills someone, it is their branch that takes over the funeral business. In the process, they may also take the opportunity to take away one or two usable organs. It is a true one-stop service.
Zhang Da thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember ever offending him...did he have a base in the lawless zone before?"
"Most likely, but sending assassins doesn't necessarily mean you've offended him," Zefa said. "It's possible someone else hired their assassins. The power situation in the lawless zone...it's hard to figure out."
This is troublesome. Zhang Da knows how much he is hated. To wipe out the illegal areas, he must offend more than one or two forces. If these guys are determined to kill him, who knows how much money they can come up with.
"Well, do you know where the lair of that big-handed undertaker is?" Zhang Da also thought that since he couldn't find those who hired the killer to kill him in a short time , he might as well just eliminate this killer organization.
Judging from Ye Yan's description of the killer, this guy might be quite good at hiding and stealth, but his strength in frontal combat is average, and it is unknown what level he is in that organization.
However, Zefa's answer disappointed him: "People like the Big Hand Undertaker won't stay in one place for long. Their headquarters might be able to move at any time like Morgans."
Morgans' headquarters is a spaceship that can be moved by a flock of birds and many balloons. He has to move every time he reports news that is unfavorable to those big forces. It is because of his unparalleled intelligence ability and mobility that he can keep jumping like this without being killed.
Zhang Da also frowned: "So we still have to find a way to capture him alive?"
"There is another way. As long as you join the navy, you don't have to worry about this kind of trouble. No matter what, they dare not assassinate the navy generals." Zefa knew that if the navy and the world government were willing, not to mention crushing those so-called underground forces, at least it would be no problem to deal with the boss of a killer organization.
No matter how secretive the underground forces are, there are bound to be some CP people sneaking in, but these undercover agents will not be used easily.
"Let me think about it." Zhang Da would not sell himself out for such a small matter. He pointed at the corpse on the ground and said that there were other ways to find the big-handed undertaker.
For example... going to an aunt's tea party.
"Then this person..."
"Leave it to me. If I can find any information about him, I'll let you know." Zefa said, "Remember to bring everyone to the base later. I'll introduce you to the cadets and arrange your training."
"Okay." Zhang Da also agreed. Zefa hoped that they would deepen their relationship with the navy. He wanted to take everyone to the navy to take classes. This was a two-way process.
"Pulu, pulu, pulu..." The Den Den Mushi on Zefa's body rang.
"I'm Zephyr."
"Teacher Zefa, this is Ain." A pleasant female voice came, "A pirate ship has been spotted northwest of 27GR. Everyone is gathering and preparing for battle."
"I understand. I'll be right back."
Zefa didn't go back to do the work himself. If the recruits needed to be supported, Major General Kadaru or T. Peng could do it. His main job was to provide naval battle guidance.
How to maximize the firepower advantage of warships through command in naval battles is a very important lesson. Only by learning how to command naval battles can one be qualified to become a naval general.
After Zefa hung up the phone, Zhang Da rubbed his hands and asked, "Do you need help?"
"Let them go. This is a rare opportunity for actual combat, and I just have something to teach them." Zefa shook his head slightly, implying that they should not come to steal the monsters. "If you want to attend as an observer, I welcome you. It would be even better if you could bring Wendy with you to help after the battle."
"Forget about just being an observer. If you have any wounded soldiers who are difficult to treat, you can contact us." Zhang Da had no interest in naval battles. He wanted to learn more about personal combat, such as how to make the Armament Haki 'flow'.
Zefa carried Altaïr's body away, and Zhang Da also picked up a hammer to repair the big hole in the floor.
Rui Mengmeng, Wendy and Xia Lulu stayed in the yard to exercise.
Tom poked his head out of the utility room, carefully observing whether his master had calmed down. After careful consideration, Tom decided to wait until his master had finished repairing the floor and had forgotten about it before appearing again. He tiptoed into the kitchen stealthily.
Knock knock knock…
Zhang Da also struck a few times casually, then looked up and saw the magical glow on Wendy's body: "Oh no! We shouldn't have let Zefa take the body away!"
He suddenly remembered Wendy's magic, Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Galaxy. He should have summoned the killer's soul back and tried to interrogate him! Now that the person is dead, he should be able to tell the truth, right?
Zhang Da didn't give up and asked, "Wendy, can you use Galaxy now?"
"Galaxy?" Wendy said, "I don't know either. I can give it a try."
As she spoke, Wendy carved a magic circle in the yard, then knelt on the ground, closed her eyes and chanted a spell.
After a moment, Wendy opened her eyes and shook her head gently: "No, I can't feel his soul at all."
Zhang Da also thought for a moment and gave up the idea of catching up with Zefa to get the body back. It would be better not to let the government know about Yinhe's ability to communicate with dead souls.
Anyway, it’s just a hidden killer organization. We will deal with them sooner or later.
