Chapter 11: Embers rekindled
Chapter 11 Embers Rekindled
"As you know, I almost caught them."
In some small rooms, two people sat looking at each other, Lorenzo wrapped in his clothes, explaining everything today.
"Obviously there are people who don't want us to investigate these. They tried to destroy the corpses, and even said that they didn't leave any live mouths. I was able to grab at least three live mouths and bring them back for interrogation, but they were all killed."
The gunman who served as insurance, he was always at the forefront, shooting everyone who fell behind.
"Shrike, this is different from the gangsters we have encountered before. They have a very rigorous internal structure... This is not something gangsters who rely on interests can do."
Shrike was rarely disturbed under that half of the mask, and he really knew a lot about this.
"Most of the people in Xiacheng are wall-to-wall grass, and whoever obeys others can even sell their relatives in order to survive."
Shrike said slowly, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
"But those people are not afraid of death, are they? People in Xiacheng are not so noble and fearless."
Turned his gaze to Lorenzo, looking forward to the surprise that this detective would give him.
"Then did you find any clues? I believe you will not return without success."
Lorenzo nodded at this, and then said.
"The people in the Xiacheng District got the news in advance...or that is part of their plan. Once the action fails, they will sneak into the Xiacheng District, and the gangsters need to show up for them at this time."
"Shrike, you know how strong this group of people's territorial awareness is. The territory represents wealth in Xiacheng, so that group of gangsters can only come from the local area. I need to know who is managing that area."
"Saab."
Shrike is the owner of the Xiacheng District, and he immediately thought of who the people were there.
"Saab, a Viking from the northern waters..."
Shrike's thoughts stopped, which coincided with the origins of Wall.
"Do you think the goods were taken by Sabo?"
"It won't be him, he is just a guy who eats under your hands, he has no access to your level of business."
Lorenzo directly denied this idea.
"He is just a smoke bomb. Someone needs to pay for it. As long as the price is good, I believe he will do it."
"Then what are you going to do, Lorenzo Holmes."
Shrike pressed his chin lightly, and he began to find things interesting.
"It's very simple, find him, put the gun on his head, ask him who made him do this, and pull the trigger until he says."
Lorenzo's voice has no fluctuations, just like normal speech, but the evil contained in it is shocking.
"You will kill him like this."
"Shrike, I had a lesson at the Wangli Medical College. Although I can't understand it profoundly, I still understand how to avoid fatal injuries to the human body."
Picking up the gun from the side, Lorenzo tried back and forth on his body.
"You should also go to class, and learn to live to grow old. This kind of shooting to avoid fatal injuries is very suitable for suspended animation."
Lorenzo has a serious face, this unscrupulous person is rarely serious.
Shrike didn’t know what to say for a while, he thought Lorenzo was very peculiar, really peculiar.
For a long time, the Shrike sent someone to follow the great detective. After all, he was too curious about Lorenzo's past, and most of the traceable results were very boring.
Lorenzo would be very diligent to investigate and solve cases when he was at work. When he was not working, he would take a steam tram to take classes at various universities. He spent a long time in the Royal Academy of Art, which made the Shrike think this The detective is about to change his career to become an actor.
The result of the fact is that he only learned acting to better solve the case, and as part of his graduation exam, he sneaked into Shrike's side.
Lorenzo Holmes is really a genius, there is no sound, no one notices him, he is so carelessly dressed in black and white dress, holding a wine tray into the shrike’s casino, and personally serving a table of guests. Shuffled and became a croupier.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to signal to Shrike, Shrike had never noticed that this great detective was so close to him unknowingly. It was just that he wanted to test his performance ability, but what if he had a knife in his hand?
No one knows how many skills Lorenzo has, but it is certain that he must use these abilities as a detective.
Is it okay to have this talent to do something else?
"You just went to Saab alone like this?"
Shrike doesn’t distrust Lorenzo’s abilities. He is very strong, and the shotgun’s firepower is also very fierce, but it’s still a little weak to face a gang directly.
"Yes, but I have my own way. What's more, even if I can't help it, you can't help me, can't you? As you said, this cargo is related to a Duke, and you can't leave any trace."
Shrike nodded. He can become the master of the Xiacheng District by wandering between various forces. A duke is not enough to make him fall to the throne, but it can shake his rule. After all, the Xiacheng District is just a trash can. However, compared with those who truly have authority, Shrike is still much worse.
"Take it, take it, you are my messenger."
Speaking of Shrike throwing his revolver, the weapon used to threaten Lorenzo.
"Sabo knows this gun, and he will understand what's going on when he sees it."
Xiacheng District is more complicated than everyone thinks. Shrike is the leader, but he leads only a mob. Everyone comes for profit. Shrike is the control of interests because his fist is the biggest. By.
Since Lorenzo had thoughts in his heart, Shrike was relieved a lot, and it seemed that he got up and was about to leave.
"Good night, Mr. Holmes."
The door slowly closed, and the uninvited guest finally left.
Lorenzo looked out the window, wiped off the water vapor on the glass, the dark carriage merged with the night, and finally disappeared into Lorenzo’s sight.
Witnessing the departure of the shrike, Lorenzo tightened the curtains, then put on pajamas to completely cover up the black tattoo.
Facing the whole gang alone, to tell the truth is to be sent. Lorenzo has the confidence to sneak into Sabo, but he has no confidence to escape from a group of angry bandits, but as Shrike thinks, Lorenzo is a genius. He never let go of any opportunities that he could take advantage of.
Take out the thing that has been hidden by him from the windbreaker, and by the light, the crystal light of the ruby on the necklace is blurred and beautiful.
This is no longer a luxury item that can be described. The quality is perfect. The interior seems to contain blood. It is beautiful and amazing. The edge silver decoration is inlaid. Of course, the most important thing is the inscription on the back.
"The embers reignite."
Lorenzo whispered, and as the words murmured, the ruby in his hand seemed to come alive, exuding the warmth of life.
This is Eve’s necklace. Lorenzo tore it off when the girl rushed. Fortunately, the situation was critical and the girl didn’t even realize it.
The embers reignite.
This is a proverb from a noble family. Lorenzo carefully recalled the knowledge he had accumulated in Old Dunling for so many years, and quickly determined the goal, and then was slightly shocked in his heart, as if he did not expect it to be like this.
Washar is not Eve's last name, it should be her mother's, she just used this to cover up her true identity, otherwise her boss will at least send her a team of mounted police when she sees her last name.
Eve Phoenix.
This is her real name, the son of the noble phoenix family.
Eve’s true identity is simply a surprise. He initially held the necklace just to use Eve in the follow-up. After all, this thing seems to be very important to this girl, and in order to investigate the goods, he needs one in the Suaran Hall. His eyeliner, an eyeliner that belongs only to him.
Lorenzo is still worried about how to dig out the information he wants from Sabo, but now everything is fine.
Circumstances changed, a brand-new plan appeared in Lorenzo's mind. From planning to implementation, in just a few minutes, in his mind, he had killed a few back and forth in Xiacheng District, and everything ended. The directions are correct, and Lorenzo will get what he wants.
At the same time, in the remote suburbs, in the duke’s manor, the girl had just finished taking a shower and looked out the window blankly in her bathrobe.
Today is not a beautiful day. She experienced the first case in her life, but she also received the first punishment. Officer Press was very dissatisfied with Eve’s rash actions. She received it on the first day of work. take a vacation.
Although I feel unhappy, the excitement of the detective is real. The whole boring life boils a little, new life, new experience, and some special people... Eve tried his best to put herself and Lorenzo The encounter between them is described as "getting acquainted."
The hand touches the neck habitually, but the familiar warmth is gone, and it feels empty.
The girl's expression suddenly became surprised, and then panicked. Now she realized that her precious necklace was missing.
Where is lost?
She tried her best to think, but in the end it was a blank, she couldn't remember anything.
