Chapter 855 Lady''s Night


    When Duanmuhuai and Mary returned to the hotel, it was already midnight.


    “Woo……”


    "I really didn''t expect that you could not drink alcohol."


    Looking at Marie walking beside her, Duanmu Huai was speechless.


    "That''s just a wine bar. If you can''t drink, just drink less."


    "But... it''s rare to have such an opportunity...drinking alone...it''s not interesting...hiccup."


    "Why……"


    Looking at Mary like this, Duanmu Huai sighed helplessly.


    "Anyway, go back and have a rest first."


    "Um……"


    Walking into the elevator, Mary leaned against Duanmuhuai, her head bit by bit, like a sleepy child. Speaking of which, it is rare to see Mary''s cute side. In Duanmuhuai''s impression, Mary''s performance is no different from that of an ordinary daughter-in-law most of the time. She is elegant, well-educated, very responsible, and brave.


    So it is quite interesting to see her like a child.


    "Ding——"


    The elevator issued a crisp reminder and then opened the door.


    "Mary, I''m here."


    "Um………"


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s words, Mary just responded in a daze, while Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed her collar, lifting the girl in front of her up like a kitten, and shaking it a few times.


    “Woo……”


    “To be honest, it is rare to drink red wine like this.”


    Looking at Marie who was still confused, Duanmu Huai shook her head helplessly. Then he picked up Mary, walked out of the elevator, and then put the unconscious girl who had already slept back to her room. Mary lying on the bed looks like the sleeping beauty princess in a fairy tale, but she looks very beautiful and cute.


    "Go to sleep slowly, you''ve been tired for a day today."


    Duanmuhuai reached out and touched Mary''s head, then planned to leave. But at this moment, he found that Mary''s hand was holding the corner of his clothes.


    "Well... don''t leave me...mom..."


    “…………”


    Hearing Mary''s whisper, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly.


    "After all, you have to talk about dad."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai sat down next to Mary, and the girl''s originally tight expression seemed to relax a lot because of this, and she fell into a deep sleep again.


    Speaking of which, it seems that I have never heard Marie mention her family situation...


    Looking at Mary who was asleep, Duanmuhuai touched her chin. Of course, many people in the trial court have their own secrets, and Duanmu Huai didn''t plan to ask more questions. But Mary''s situation seemed to be even more complicated. His understanding of Mary''s family was limited to her inner world that she had seen when she was in Antarctica with Mary. I remember that Mary''s mother left her alone in Wudu and then went abroad to work.


    Although Mary was very strong on the surface, she actually hoped that her mother could be with her.


    After that, Mary seemed to have occasionally spoken on the phone with her mother, but that was the case.


    Although there are two good friends of Charlie and Asherika, and Mary said that the families who boarded in Wudu also took good care of her, it was just that the situation was different from her biological mother.


    Recall that in the Inquisition, Mary seemed to be with her most of the time, and she stayed alone for the rest of the time. It’s not that others excluded her, but that everyone just had their own things to do. Of course, Ojis doesn’t seem to like her very much-well, strictly speaking Ojis doesn’t seem to like anyone who monopolizes himself. I remember that after confessing that he had been with Rumiell for sixty years in the future world, Ojis looked very unhappy with Rumiell.


    An and Gureya are Jiao Bulimeng, Bambi spends most of the time playing with Kura, Ryumiel and Aclere are always together, Shizuka and Maria are good friends... Although strictly speaking, the relationship between Mary and Lani is pretty good, the two are master-apprentice relationships, and they are not ordinary friends.


    Um?


    Think about it carefully, why are there one-to-one pairs under my court? Now Aojis and Javi seem to be in a pair. When it comes to being alone, it seems that only a few people are left, such as Lorena and Zhen Jiling. However, Lorena spends more time exercising every day than with her friends, and Zhen Jiling is busy broadcasting every day...


    Is this normal?


    Forget it, it doesn’t matter.


    Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly.


    So should she also call her two friends as logistics staff? Although to be honest, Xia Li is useless to the court in Duanmuhuai, considering that she and Mary have a good relationship, maybe she can...well, wait and see.


    Just like that, a night passed.


    "Um………"


    When Mary opened her eyes, it was already early in the morning. She blinked and turned her head blankly. She saw Duanmu Huai leaning beside her, closing her eyes to rest.


    "Hey? Mr. Duanmu?"


    Seeing Duanmu Huai''s face, Mary suddenly woke up and almost jumped out of the bed.


    "Why are you here? Wait, this is my room..."


    As he spoke, Mary turned around and looked around. Well, from the outside, this is her guest room.


    "What, have you not woken up yet?"


    Looking at Mary''s puzzled and panicked look, Duanmu Huai smiled.


    "Didn''t you say you wanted me to stay last night?"


    “Oh…ah…ah…!”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary was stunned. Then she suddenly remembered something and quickly retracted her face and directly retreated into the quilt.


    "……Hug, sorry, I''m so embarrassed! I''m awake, I''m completely awake!"


    "That''s good." Duanmu Huai also stood up now.


    "Take a shower and change your clothes, then we go to have breakfast, and then go to the countermeasures. Yamen just called and said that there is something important to discuss with us."


    "Okay, I''ll go right now!"


    Mary wrapped herself in the quilt and heard Duanmu Huai''s footsteps gradually leaving, then the sound of closing the door sounded. Then she carefully poked her head out of the quilt, looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Huh……”


    After breathing a long sigh, Mary left the quilt and got off the bed. She also remembered that she was a little fluttering because she drank a lot of red wine last night. When she leaned against Duanmuhuai, Mary felt very relieved and unconsciously wanted to act coquettishly towards Duanmuhuai, so she subconsciously said...


    “Woo…”


    Thinking of this, Mary''s face turned red and she wished she could get back into the quilt again. Although I was drinking, I was a little too unpretentious. As a lady, I could actually say that kind of words to a man... Fortunately, it was Mr. Duanmu, but it was someone else''s words...


    It seems that it is better to drink less in the future.


    While reflecting on her heart, Mary came to the bathroom, wearing yesterday''s foreign clothes, and she didn''t look messy.


    …………


    Why do I always feel a little unwilling to give up?


    After that, Duanmu Huai also returned to her room, took a shower and changed her clothes. When he walked out of the room, Mary was already waiting for her outside the door.


    “Good morning, Mr. Duanmu.”


    Although Mari was saying hello, Duanmu Huai always felt that there seemed to be some resentment in her tone?


    Well, maybe it''s an illusion.


    After breakfast, the two left the hotel and came to a family restaurant near the countermeasures bureau, where they met the Yamen Search Officer.


    "Yo, good morning."


    Duanmu Huai said hello to Yamen and looked at the man in front of him with a smile, with a man with dark circles in his eyes, looking like he was staying up late to work overtime.


    "Do you look like you, didn''t sleep well last night?"


    "What didn''t sleep well? I didn''t sleep at all last night..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Yamen was speechless. Duanmuhuai and Mary killed the ghoul and went home to eat and sleep. As a result, he was in great trouble. Because the killed ghouls were even SSS-level, and his partner, the search officer, went for treatment because of injuries, Yamen was tortured by the senior management of the Countermeasures Bureau for one night.


    In fact, it is normal for senior management to have this kind of reaction. You report that you are going to deal with ordinary ghouls, but you come back and tell me that you have killed someone else''s boss. Can this be the same?


    You should at least give us some psychological preparation! This is not a surprise, it is already a shock!


    So the Yamen Searcher had to describe everything from beginning to end. Of course, since he and the Zhenhu Searcher acted separately, he was not very clear about most of the situation. It was only after hearing the Zhenhu Searcher''s explanation that he knew the situation. No matter what, after the special countermeasures bureau figured out the causes and consequences of the matter, it was also shocked, and at the same time, it also gained a deeper understanding and understanding of the strength of the court.


    In fact, strictly speaking, similar things are not unfamiliar with the countermeasures themselves. For example, there is a case of ghoul eating people on the street, and then the search officer goes to investigate. As a result, he accidentally found that the other party was a powerful ghoul of S level or even higher level. In this case, those with better luck can come back to report, and those with worse luck will be eaten by the other party on the spot.


    Well, if this situation is in the court, it is not luck, but strength. If it were a countermeasure, facing the one-eyed owl, it would have been wiped out without any preparation. However, the court directly killed it, and did not even make too much noise. It was as easy as dealing with a soldier...


    After realizing this, a new decision was made within the countermeasures bureau.


    "The headquarters hopes you can help with a difficult case."


    As he spoke, the Yamen Investigator handed the two documents to the two.


    “Tough case?”


    “That’s right…it’s an underground auction.”


    “Underground auction?”


    "Yes, it is an underground auction organized by ghouls. We have always investigated this. According to the information and clues we investigated, ghouls will capture and capture humans, and then take them to the auction for auction. Those who participate in the auction are all very powerful and famous ghouls. They will eat the humans they took, or keep them as pets..."


    “Oh, it’s so interesting.”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows. Although he was very interesting, his tone was cold and full of chill.


    "However, since the auction is very secretive and is likely to be related to SS-class ghouls, we have not yet grasped the specific situation of the auction, and we don''t even know the people and location... Therefore, the Bureau of Countermeasures hopes to entrust the Trial Court to investigate and handle the case."


    "No problem, leave it to us."


    Duanmuhuai finished reading the documents at hand, then nodded, and the Yamen Searcher was relieved.


    "Then please ask the two of you. If there is any situation, you can contact me at any time."


    After saying this, the Yamen Searcher stood up, saluted the two of them, and then left.


    "I really didn''t expect that these ghouls would actually auction humans as commodities..."


    Even Mary''s face looked ugly after listening to the instructions of the Yamen Investigator.


    "So Mr. Duanmu, how should we act?"


    “This time it’s much easier.”


    "Simple?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Mary blinked in surprise.


    “That’s right.”


    Looking at the girl beside her, Duanmu Huai smiled and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.


    "It just so happens that we have a piece of Tang Monk''s meat here?"
