It was early evening, the last train.

The front of the train and the two cars in front of it rolled on their side, but fortunately the train was new, the steam power of this era was not enough to make the train run at high speeds, and for safety reasons, the two cars closest to the front were the wagon cars.

But the passengers in the last seven carriages were not comfortable, and the huge inertia caused many to be injured, bleeding from the head, and some to break bones, and the most serious was the death of two passengers, who were unfortunately standing in the middle aisle at the time of the incident, so they hit the hardest.

Amid wails and shouts, Sean orders Arthur Young to walk to the city of Billington in search of rescue, while he himself is busy comforting the injured passengers.

The white shirt on his body was blood-red, and it looked very scary, but it was actually a bottle of wine. Carmen was more miserable, he broke his head, bleeding profusely, and by the time the rescuers arrived at 8 p.m., his head was still dizzy.

The railroad belongs to Sean's private property, so he has the responsibility to arrange for his subordinates to compensate the dead and injured passengers as soon as possible, and he is not stingy in this regard.

This incident is a big blow to Sean's career, which will undoubtedly raise questions about the safety of the railway, and some people even spread rumors that the place where the railway took place was once an ownerless cemetery, and the accident caused by violating the rest of the dead.

The real reason is that a section of track has been stolen, and the train driver has taken emergency braking measures to find out about the situation, but it is still too late to prevent the accident from happening.

The local patrol arrested a large number of people the next day, but did not find the thief. Three days later, a shepherd boy found the stolen railroad tracks in a small ditch three kilometres away from the accident.

It's not easy to throw the tracks three kilometers away, and it's intriguing to throw them away after so much effort.

For safety reasons, the railway only runs during the day, and the train that caused the accident is the last train of the day, and a train full of coal passes by an hour before it reaches the accident site.

In other words, the thieves only have an hour to commit the crime, and there should be three to five people working together, so that in the wilderness, these people carry heavy railroad tracks and walk three kilometers away.

Although it is remote, it is impossible to hide such a big action, and this is not stealing chickens and dogs at night.

Stealing is not the purpose?

Sean listened to the report of Nelson and others and had a vague judgment.

"People from several nearby villages, mostly their own people, are engaged in agriculture and herding, and a few work in the mines. We focus on the people who work in the mines, and only they have the possibility of coming into contact with outsiders. "Because outsiders come here, whether it's a gang of several people, they're bound to be discovered by the locals, but if you have your own help, it's easy." ”

Nelson was more worried about coming at Sean himself than for railroads or other industries for Shawn himself.

"What did you find?" asked Sean.

"There are indeed discoveries. Nelson nodded, "There's a guy named Bobby, a villager from a nearby village, who has always been an idle and gambler, and who became a miner after our coal company opened. You know, the mine only recruits people based on whether you have the strength to eat. This person has recently made a relatively generous move, threatening to make a windfall......"

"Arrest him. Sean ordered.

"It's a pity that when we noticed him, he had been missing for several days. His body was found today in the coal dump, where his throat was cut and buried under the coal pile. Nelson looked carefully at Sean's drastic face, "We immediately checked on his co-workers and found that there were five fellow miners who claimed to be from Moore City for several days, and these five people had a lot of relationships with Bobby, and someone had seen them drinking with Bobby a lot. ”

Mining areas require a large number of people, most of these miners come from other provinces, so the personnel are complex, tens of thousands of able-bodied people get together, it is natural to form gangs, and there are often some criminal cases, as for fights and brawls are not uncommon.

There are a few scheming guys lurking among tens of thousands of people, making it impossible for Sean to send someone to keep an eye on every miner.

While the true purpose of the five Moors is unclear, there are some measures that must be done.

At the coal company, Sean breaks up miners from different regions, tries to prevent them from forming gangs because they are fellow villagers, and forms a full-control self-defense force equipped with weapons. At the same time, through the way of bribery, a large number of eyeliner was planted among the miners, which can be regarded as a remedy.

Just as he was about to leave after inspecting the coal company, a vicious explosion occurred in the warehouse area, killing 17 people and injuring more than 50 others.

On the night when Sean was a little dazed, there was a brief fight outside his temporary home in the mine, and several guys opened fire on Sean's residence, and one of Sean's guards was hit by a stray bullet and slightly wounded.

Sean's guards immediately returned fire, and in the darkness the assailants fired a few shots before dropping the body of one of his accomplices and fleeing.

This series of vicious incidents made Sean vigilant.

This is clearly for him personally.

The news soon reached Poitou, which immediately caused an uproar, and the more outrageous it became, it was even said that Sean was seriously injured and died.

Sean is not what it used to be, and he has risen so fast that people forget that he was once a broken aristocrat.

The value of his property is hundreds of millions, not to mention the promising industry and mining industry he has invested in, and even the value of his tea plantation is beyond the reach of many family generations of hard work.

However, Sean is unmarried, let alone has no heirs.

The do-gooders are even worried about Sean's huge inheritance.

In Northern Genoa, Sean didn't know how twisted the news would be when it reached Poitou.

He did disappear, and on the night of the shooting, he left. His loyal bodyguards felt the need for their master to temporarily hide their tracks in case something might happen.

The enemy is dark and I am clear.

This kind of opponent hiding in the shadows is the most difficult to deal with. Because there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

And his temporary disappearance will cause more speculation from the outside world, and even Sean's friends believe that Sean may be seriously injured.

Sean's roots in Genoa were not strong, he rose too fast, and although he already had common interests with many people, he took this opportunity to hide aside and see who his true friends were.

So, it was discovered that all the doctors who were skilled in surgery in North Genoa were called in by Sean's guards with rifles, while Professor Nolan, the most famous doctor in Poitou, went north by starry night.

Soon, Sean's personal bodyguard, Arthur Young, was seen guarding a carriage as it sailed south, and the stench of the carriage, which was said to be tightly covered in the summer, gave the guards a look of pathos.

At this time, Audrey panicked north.

Braving the scorching heat, she rushed to Northern Genoa, and asked everywhere about Sean in any place where Sean had been, and where Sean had been in a stronghold related to Sean's industrial layout in the north.

No one knows where Sean went, but many people believe Sean died.

Rumors always spread more deeply than the truth.

Audrey's helpless figure fell into the eyes of those who cared about it, until a white-robed priest approached her with a letter.
