IE: Chapter 64. The Big Case.

Frank was sitting on a sofa in front of an alien with a dog's head and a human body.

"Tell me, when did you arrive on Earth? How did you get here? What have you done since you came?"

"I've been on Earth for about 3 years, I came to Earth hidden in the cargo bay of Oliver's ship, I've been in hiding since I came over here, and I've never harmed an Earthling, really."

The dog-headed man was quite friendly when he saw Frank, because he felt that they had some affinity.

"Oliver, the smuggler who's selling alien weapons? Do you know where his ship is stationed?" Frank thought back for just a moment and knew who the 'Oliver', the dog-headed man was referring to.

He became a part-time M.I.B agent. He didn't have to work in the M.I.B at ordinary work time, and he had a salary. He was no longer afraid of being bullied on Earth.

'Look, the M.I.B even gave me a secretary, how cool is that?'

Behind Frank, a worm was quickly taking notes with his pen. How could the four Worm Guys not get demoted when they planned to run when the Bug came? They were really busy tonight, and hadn't had the time to rest.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open. Frank was dubious, "Hey! I'm interrogating someone here! Who let you ... N! You're here! Please, have a seat."

Halfway through the words, Frank jumped off the sofa as soon as he saw who came in.

"I hear you've officially joined the M.I.B? Congratulations. But you had a busy night yesterday, right? I'll take care of the rest." Noah sat on the sofa, looked at the dog-headed man, then at Frank, and again at the dog-headed man.

"I have nothing to do with him!" Frank shouted.

"I know, I just thought you guys looked a bit alike in some places. "Noah shrugged his shoulders, 'Especially the dog head.'

"You and J look a lot like each other." Frank scowled and walked out. When he first came to Earth, he found that most humans looked the same, and it took him a long time to tell the difference.

Noah looked down at the worm, "Who are you again? Neeble? If you're tired, you can rest a while. By the way, when you guys helped us take care of Serleena last time, J and I noted it in our report."

The four Worm Guys were entertaining to watch. They were usually doing odd jobs around headquarters, and were quite fun to talk to. They had high IQ, but rather low combat ability. They were slightly worse than Frank.

But, they had a special ability. When their bodies were sliced into several pieces, they wouldn't die. They could connect themselves back together, and recover. According to Weaver, the M.I.B used their genes to develop injury medicine to help people recover faster, without leaving scars.

In fact, with the technology that the M.I.B has right now, if the M.I.B took some of the technology and sold it to ordinary people, it would definitely become the most profitable company in the world.

However, the M.I.B chose to keep it a secret, they weren't lacking money. Just like the jewelry store of the Arquillian royal family before, that had now become one of the properties of the M.I.B.

The M.I.B owned a lot of other businesses on Earth. The M.I.B was a small but wealthy organization. Moreover, as with many medicines, the components to make them were too difficult to come by.

Neeble gave Noah a kiss on the cheek, and skipped away. He went to look for his three brothers to play together, or down for a cup of coffee and chat.

"Name? Place of origin ..."

....

While Noah was taking notes on this alien, J was driving towards Wu Yuan's Restaurant.

However, his face didn't look good. Who knew that an earthling looking artificial skin was so expensive. It cost him a whole month's salary, and that was an insider's price!

'I should have looked it up before promising Mr. Wu, but that fish was really good.'

The artificial skin was truly life-like. When it was placed on a model dummy, it really looked like a real person. It could also show natural expressions.

'If this was a woman's skin, would it look like a real woman?'

Suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with the insider's price. Since he had joined the M.I.B, even if he wasn't an alien, the M.I.B should still provide a disguise for free. 'So, why did they charge me?'

He also thought of the colleague who had helped him make the outer skin. That guy was looking at him a little strangely. Many people within the organization were single, and had been for many years. Their physiological needs .... couldn't be fathomed.

"Some soup dumplings, and Moo Shu Pork. Oh, and here, this is what your boss ordered." J handed a box to the waiter at the Wu Yuan's Restaurant.

'With such an expensive thing, is it okay for me to have another meal for free, right?'

A short while later, the Earthling-looking Wu Yuan came out with the food, looking a little older than when they met yesterday.

"Thank you, J. Feel free to come and eat at my place more often. Actually, I can also cook some western food." Wu Yuan was relieved to see that N wasn't around. He always felt that N could see all the alien ingredients he was hiding in the kitchen.

"Wu, we're doing an alien registration program at the M.I.B these days. You know about it, right? Do you have anything to tell me?" J took a bite of the Moo Shu Pork, he liked the dish.

Wu Yuan's face changed, "J, everyone in our restaurant is registered and has paid taxes. They're all clean, you can investigate it as much as you want. And yesterday ..."

"Yesterday?" J looked at Wu Yuan, then continued to eat his dumplings with his head down. He took a careful bite and slowly sipped the soup. He almost burned his tongue off the first time he ate them.

"J, I found out that there's an alien ship landing in New Jersey in a couple of days. I don't think it has been reported to the M.I.B." Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and blurted out a piece of information. He understood that if he didn't do something, J wouldn't leave, and this restaurant of his wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"What about the specific time and place?"

10 minutes later, J took a sip of hot tea and stood up with great satisfaction, "Next time you hear something like that, remember to let me know."

'An alien ship illegally landing on Earth. Now this is a big catch!' What kind of merit would he get if he was registering aliens like N was doing? After his years as a cop, he knew that he had to look for big cases himself.

"J, don't tell anyone I was the one who told you, please." Wu Yuan begged with his hands clasped together.

If word got out, not only would he not be able to gain any footing on Earth, but he would also be hunted down and killed on other planets. He preferred the peace and quiet of the current situation and didn't want to keep running.

"I still want to eat your cooking in the future. Relax, no one will know it was you. I'll tell people it was something I found out by chance."

J went out and got into his car. 'I'll have to talk to Zed about going to New Jersey tomorrow. maybe, I'll tell him I still have some things to wrap up about the last case, or tell him I overheard a message when I was registering an alien? Hmm...'

While driving, J took out his communicator and dialed a number, "Hey N! Forget the little alien registration thing, I have a big case here, and I need back up. This time, I'll be the one sharing the merit with you!"
