Ember Gun

  Chapter 8 The Reasoning of Fraud

The sunset in the old Dunling is not beautiful. The gloomy and endless steam composes the hazy dome to cover everything. The afterglow of the sun cannot penetrate the layers of gloom. In the end, only the vague red tide can be seen, like fire and rain. .

  The Zeppelin airship is like a giant whale swimming slowly among the clouds, and on the ground you can only see the black shadow that seems to have walked out of the myth.

  Lorenzo sat comfortably in the driving chair, and the group of suspects disappeared from his vision since he changed the route of the steam tram.

   "Detective, we can actually cooperate."

   Regardless of the situation of Eve behind him, Lorenzo said in the wind.

   "Our purpose is all those people. As long as we catch them, there will be precious clues. As for the future, we will wait and talk later. What do you think?"

  Eve thought for a while, and during the bumps, she chose to put down the gun in her hand. Although the contact time was not long, the feeling that Lorenzo gave her was amazing in this short period of time.

  She has never seen such a... calm person, as if everything is under his control, deep and powerful.

  "So do you agree to this proposal now?"

  Lorenzo had mysterious eyes, as if a hidden conspiracy was gestating under the gray blue.

   "Lorenzo Holmes."

  Name is the first step in trust.

  Eve hesitated to stretch out her hand, but when she was about to say her name, Lorenzo retracted her hand.

   "Eve Washar, I know your name."

   "How can you?"

  Eve's heart immediately became vigilant again, and she began to regret this brief alliance.

   "I'm a detective, this thing is very simple." Lorenzo's gaze swept across her.

   "Brand new uniforms, neat clothes, and at first glance, you are a newcomer who just arrived at the police station to report... You should really look at the state of your colleagues most of the time. They are simply drunks. People like you are out of place among them."

  It's like looking at an object, Lorenzo commented.

  "Full of motivation, enthusiasm, hatred of evil, you are a typical graduate, full of fantasies about the world, you love this business very much, and you are eager to make some achievements."

  Lorenzo said distressedly and shook his head.

"It's another kid who is misled by the gorgeous news. This is not as simple as you think. It's not a world where you said that if you raise your hand, the prisoner will raise your hand obediently. The timid will turn around and run away. The bold ones will give you a shot before you finish speaking."

  His words were fierce and precise, at least to Eve’s sounds, but she was a little angry, as if her secret had been revealed, exposed to the sun.

   "You are still a noble boy, you can tell from your necklace."

  Lorenzo pointed to Eve’s smooth neck and said that the silver necklace was tied with a nail-sized ruby. It was originally hidden under the clothes, but fell out in the violent impact.

"This is not something ordinary aristocrats can afford... you know? The police force’s rookie list is usually marked. They will treat those aristocrats with special treatment, in case this group of princes accidentally die. You can take a look when you go back. Look, and this list is also very good, just post it on your bulletin board."

  Lorenzo smiled, and he became extremely mysterious and powerful in Eve's eyes.

   "How do you... know about the police station?"

  Suyalan Hall is not easy for anyone to enter, Eve can't understand.

   "My poor nephew died this morning. I can always report the case, right?" Lorenzo smiled.

  Whether it is Suaran Hall or City Hall, Lorenzo will never be afraid to enter because of that name. As long as there is a correct reason, these are places where ordinary people can get involved.

   "There are only a few boys, and there is only one girl. I guess that person is you, right."

   "Eve Washar."

  Eve was completely shocked by Lorenzo's words. Lorenzo was very satisfied with her somewhat horrified look.

Lorenzo Holmes, he is just a second-rate detective who is good at deception. This is his evaluation of himself. There is no so-called super-intelligence in this world. The lunatics in the courtyard were locked up to death.

  A brain that can promote the development of the world's technology tree is used to fight criminals? This is too much to use.

The most perfect deception should be combined with truth. He will not tell Eve that the police badge of this unlucky child also fell out during the impact just now. It records her information in the police station in detail, and he will not tell her, for convenience. For the shrike's business in the Xiacheng District, the eyeliner of the shrike has long been hidden in the Suyalan Hall, and any movement of people will be reported to the terrible butcher bird when night falls.

The real result is accompanied by mysterious and mysterious reasoning. This is what Lorenzo has been doing. Even if there are many loopholes, they can only believe before the real result. This is like a mathematical formula. As long as the deduction is correct, no matter how outrageous the answer is. , But that must also be correct.

   "Can you believe that I am a detective now?"

  Lorenzo smiled with that sign, everything is in his hands.

  ...

   "Where are we going now?"

   Although temporarily on the same front, Eve still did not relax his vigilance.

  "The purpose of blocking the road is to get down to the city. There are many routes to get there quickly, but there is only one intersection that allows them to pass quickly."

  In order to manage the chaotic Xiacheng District, the old Dunling's measure is to isolate, the two urban areas are separated by tall houses and walls, leaving only a few wide intersections for easy guarding.

  Even if you don’t pass the intersection, you can reach the Xiacheng District. For their benefit, they have already opened the tunnel between the buildings, but now the group of people riding horses can only pass through the intersection quickly.

  They were not only chased by Lorenzo, but the mounted police in Suaran Hall might have caught up with them, and a fierce gun battle broke out all the way.

  "How are you sure we can catch up?"

  Eve didn’t understand, but Lorenzo pointed to the top, which was the route map hanging on the cab.

   "You should be concerned about daily news... For example, the Xiacheng District will also be included in the scope of Iron Snake operations."

  Lorenzo’s habit is to read newspapers and go to the city hall once a week to see if there are any new regulations or the like.

  This habit was derived from a movie in his dreams. In that movie, the earth failed to go to the Galaxy City Hall to see the regulations in time, which resulted in the earth being blown up to build a cosmic highway... a story full of black humor.

  Okay, forget the dreams of the old days and come and see now.

  A few months ago, Old Dunling decided to extend the Iron Snake to the Lower City. Lorenzo speculated that it was a high-level person who wanted to take action on the Lower City, just like a long time ago.

  As long as the railroad tracks are laid out in the Xiacheng District and the old-style armored iron snakes are on the line, the old Dunling can clean up the filth in the Xiacheng District at any time, but it is a pity that this operation failed as soon as it started.

The railroad tracks did unfold in Xiacheng, but no iron snake could drive into it. The desperadoes were more united than everyone thought. The operation was quickly stopped, and the railroad track turned into a gang. On the road to transport goods, the economy of the black market has soared a lot. I remember that Shrike was not good at that time.

   "Although it failed, the railway tracks in the Xiacheng District are connected to the outer city, but no one dared to drive there!"

  According to the map in his mind and the route map on the cab overlapped, Lorenzo was able to stop them, outside the lower city.

  ...

  The team moved forward quickly. The accident in this operation was far beyond their imagination. Just as Lorenzo said, the Mounted Police in Suaran Hall had already caught up to them, and the piercing police whistles kept echoing, like the death knell before the end.

  Although the situation is critical, the Xiacheng District is right in front of you. As long as you get there, even the Suyalan Hall will feel troublesome. Once you get there, this bad day will be over.

  In fact, the sky is already half dark at this moment, and only the red clouds on the horizon are still releasing the last glimmer.

  This is the gap between the old and the spirits, the day is about to end, and the night has not yet arrived.

  The cool wind blew, and the sound of steam echoed back and forth.

   was about to arrive, but at this moment there was a roar, and the whole street began to tremble slightly, and then the steel snake broke through the fog.

   "Finally catch up with you!"

  The fog is torn apart, and the detective comes on stage.

Lorenzo stood in the cab and set up Winchester and fired mercilessly. The mounted police at the back also opened fire. In their opinion, Lorenzo was also one of the enemies. After the gun was fired, there was a lot more inside the carriage. Bullet holes.

   is almost here!

  They thought so in their hearts, but then the Iron Snake accelerated and appeared behind them.

  Gunshots and explosions, the sight became chaotic, the ears were violent shocks and the howls of the crowd, everything rolled with warm blood.

  The iron snake is off track.

  The first thing the gang did after the railroad tracks was built was to separate the railroad tracks in the lower city from the outer city. The route did go straight, but it was broken.

  The iron snake kept rolling over the enemy, and in the end it was like a large pile of rotten iron. The blood on the ground was dragged for a long time, and the people who had not yet died let out weak wailing.

Eve’s head hurts, and her whole body seems to fall apart. At the last moment, she was thrown out, her eyes blurred with tears from the pain, she stood up hard, and then saw the darkness under the fire cloud. Silhouette.

  Lorenzo held a shotgun in one hand and his cane in the other. Not far from the remains of the iron snake, Lorenzo stepped on a person who had not died.

   "It looks like you are the only one left, friend."

  The muzzle of the black hole hangs down, and no one knows whether Lorenzo will shoot suddenly.

   "I can't say anything."

  The man said frankly, not caring that the time of death was approaching.

"Oh?"

  Lorenzo smiled, he is best at dealing with these tough-minded people, but when he was about to say something, the head under his feet burst open...he died.

  The smile gradually froze, looking forward, under the old building, the injured figure gave Lorenzo a deadly look, put the muzzle of the white smoke under his clothes, and then turned and left.

   is the person who served as insurance, he lived to the end.

  This time Lorenzo was really angry, but he stopped just as soon as he lifted his footsteps. At this moment, more people walked out from around him, holding guns and swords, aggressively.

As if suddenly realized something, Lorenzo turned his head, the bustling city was a hundred meters away, and the mounted police stood neatly in a row with their muzzles up, like an iron curtain separating luxury from dirty, cold and cold. Watching all this.

  Lorenzo stepped into the Xiacheng District, and the Iron Snake rolled over to kill the enemy, but also arrived in the Xiacheng District in the impact.

  More gangsters came out, eloquently like a sea of ​​people.

  Now there is no way out. Backward will be arrested by the Mounted Police, and forward will be hacked to death. Just as Lorenzo was helpless, another gun sounded.

  Eve was holding the handle of the gun with a look of horror. In front of her was a gangster who was knocked down. She seemed to have noticed Lorenzo's gaze, and she explained in a little panic.

   "He... he did something to me first!"

  The situation was a bit embarrassing, and before Lorenzo could say anything, the crowd was crushed.
