"Do you need to explain something, Mr. Constable?" said Vivien, looking at the embarrassed Sean as she sat in the galloping carriage, "what did you find, and why did you look so anxious when you saw those two pictures?" ”

"It all started half a month ago, when Madame Maria commissioned me to investigate her husband, Quake Terry, because she found that Mr. Terry had not been at home since a month earlier, and Maria, who had had two unhappy marriages, got rid of me to investigate. ”

Speaking of this, Sean's calm voice paused for a while, only to see him subconsciously put the new cigarette hidden in his clothes to his mouth, and continued:

"After half a month of follow-up, I did find out that Mr. Terry was having an affair with other women, so I took a picture and gave it to Ms. Maria this morning, after all, a man is in the same room with a woman who lives alone, and I really can't think of any other reason until you hand me the picture. ”

Vivien, who had already had a general understanding of what had happened after hearing Sean's explanation, nodded and said, "It's rare that the deceased are Terry's mistresses, so why is Lady Maria in danger? ”

"I still understand the basic etiquette of being a gentleman. Saying that, Sean could only put the most unlit corner of his mouth under the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath, put it in his pocket, and continued to explain: "Lady Maria is a strong and independent woman, she will definitely go to confront her husband, you want Terry to kill his mistress, I gave Lady Maria a picture of her husband in the same room with his mistress, and you have a picture of his mistress being killed, so what will Terry do?"

"Kill Lady Mary, and kill the mouth. ”

Vivien took Sean's words and speculated, she squinted her eyes and turned to Sean and said, "Then you are also among his exterminators, do you want me to protect you." ”

Looking at Vivien, who wrote ill intentions on her face, Sean shook his head and refused without thinking about it, not to mention whether Lady Maria would reveal her information, even if Terry knew my identity, he might not be able to find me, after all, there are countless private investigators in this city, and escaping the Steam Capital is the best choice, but for the sake of safety, I still have to be careful recently.

Vivian, who was rejected by Sean, was not annoyed, pursed her rosy lips, and then asked: "But if you say that Mr. Terry is the murderer, Ms. Maria will be in danger, and if Mr. Terry is not the murderer, then your inferences are not valid." ”

Hearing this, Sean's face did not change at all, but his tone was a little heavy: "If the inference is wrong, we will be scolded by Mr. Terry and Ms. Maria at most, but if it is correct, then Ms. Maria will be the fourth innocent life." Of course, I'd prefer to speculate on the former. ”

"I hope you're wrong, huh?" said Vivien, who said as if she had discovered something, and said sharply, "You said that Lady Maria might be the fourth, so who is the third?"

"Mr. Terry also has a mistress in the Giles neighborhood. ”

"How can you be sure she's dead. ”

"Because I was near me when he committed the murder. After speaking, Sean looked slightly moved, and took out the cigarette in his pocket and put it to his mouth, "If I were a little more careful, I guess I could, no, I would definitely find out, maybe I could save them." ”

"It's not your fault, Sean, we can't stop the murder in the first place, we can only do what we can to reduce the occurrence of future murders. ”

"I'm fine, Vivien, and... Thank you. ”

"I can't believe that I can get the thanks of some miserly vampire, it's really not easy. ”

Sean looked at Vivian's very exaggerated expression, he thought about it and still felt that it would be better for her to be happy for a while if he didn't tell the eldest lady who often fell into financial crises about the increase in her consulting fees.

"Vivien, do you feel that the carriage is getting slower? ”

After saying that, Sean frowned, ready to remind Warley, who was catching the car.

"That's... That Sean seems to me to remember one thing, very important. ”

Saying that, Vivian's face became a little unnatural, a little ashamed, and a little hopeful, and then asked cautiously: "Do you know that today the city hall is surrounded by the entire southern riot farmers, because the agricultural tax policy promulgated last week has caused all the farmers to be dissatisfied, and now they are all blocking the door of the town hall in the steam capital to protest, which has blocked the entire dusk avenue." ”

"So we can't walk through City Hall Square?"

Vivien nodded.

Sean looked at the unreliable eldest lady with a face of shame, his brain couldn't help twitching, turned his head and gently pulled the bell located at the head of the carriage, and immediately got a reply from Warley, who was driving the car.

"What do you command, sir? ”

A small door was pushed open in front of the carriage, and Warri's voice came in.

"Mr. Warry, can we take Dawn Avenue instead?"

"I'm afraid not, sir, for we're completely blocked. ”

As Warley's honest voice spoke, the carriage had stopped moving forward.

Sean, who took a deep breath, swallowed back the anger rising in his heart, turned his head to Vivian in the carriage and said kindly: "Miss Vivian, I hope you can remember to tell me sooner next time, and I also hope that your coachman can remember to tell me earlier." ”

Vivien hung her head and asked softly, "So what now?"

"Of course, run over there. ”

With that, Sean opened the car door and walked through the crowd.

And Vivien, who was in the carriage, looked at the dense crowd, couldn't help but feel across, jumped down with Sean, and shouted at the same time: "Sean, wait for me." ”

Sean, who was walking in front, heard Vivian's voice behind him, and subconsciously looked back, only to see the eldest lady with long red hair like a swimming fish, appearing in front of him within a moment, and what frightened Sean even more was that Vivian grabbed Sean's arm, separated the crowd in an almost brutal way, and squeezed forward.

Of course, this behavior aroused the resentment of the farmers who were surrounded by wooden signs and banners, wearing short shirts and straw hats, especially a woman in a police uniform, after all, the police were the helpers of the consuls, and they were the accomplices of the officials who helped to deprive them of their rights.

After a while, Sean and Vivian were surrounded by the agitated farmers, and Vivian, who was in a dilemma, subconsciously prepared to pull out the revolver hidden in her waist, but was held down by Sean and dragged her back behind her under Vivian's surprised gaze.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me, we have urgent business to cross the town hall now, can you let us pass?" Sean said in a very sincere tone to the crowd.

"Hmph, we're not going to let any of the demon's helpers pass. ”

"Yes, we will not spare any of our accomplices. ”

"Immediately change the agricultural tax law. ”

"To return our interests, we will eat bread. ”

A group of farmers shouted.

Sean looked at the crowd with increasingly agitated expressions, and glared at Vivien with resentment, especially the clothes on her body, eager to rip her off and throw it on the ground now.

"Guys, I'm very sympathetic to what you're going through, but we really need to go over now, because... Because of my... My fiancée's family is arresting us, and I know she's a police officer, but I swear she's never done anything to hurt your interests, but she's a real police officer who fights crime and maintains law and order, which is what I'm obsessed with. Saying that, Sean "affectionately" took Vivian's palm, and Vivian, who was standing next to Sean, widened her eyes with an incredulous face.

Sean continued: "Actually, I used to work on the farm, it was my happiest time, but for her, I decided to come to the capital of steam to work hard, but unfortunately no matter how hard I worked, I couldn't get the approval of her family, after all, I am just a poor boy, so I am going to take this opportunity to take her out of here today, to live in a place where no one knows us, and maybe build a farm, just like everyone else." ”

After speaking, Sean hugged Vivian who was about to wave his fist "affectionately", and at the same time whispered: "Vivian, you are calm, calm, if you wear a gang, we will all die here." ”

"You don't know if I'm going to die, but I know you're going to die, Sean. ”

A demonic whisper rang in Sean's ears, making him shudder.

But this scene seemed to these farmers to be a scene of a handsome poor man from the countryside eloping with a rich lady, especially when the rich daughter held the poor boy's hand, the embarrassed smile on the young man's handsome face made them believe it to be true.

At this time, a middle-aged man in the crowd with a gray beard, eyes and a face full of determination and muscles that matched his body suddenly came out in a rough voice: "Sean Morrison?"

"Huh?" was enduring the tremendous force of a certain eldest lady in his hand, and when he heard the sound, he looked over, only to see him exclaim happily, "Uncle Monks?"

"Haha, it's me, I knew you and Sheriff Vivien had a leg. Saying that, Monk squeezed out of the crowd, gave Sean a big hug, and said to the crowd: "Guys, this is a good guy from our Dirk Town, not an accomplice of the devil, on his way to pursue love, I hope you don't embarrass them too much, for love." ”

Saying that, Monk raised his right hand and shouted again: "For love." ”

"For love. ”

The crowd that was already moving nearby immediately reunited, making way for Sean and Vivien.

"Don't go yet. ”

Sean, who was woken up by Monks, thanked Monks, who kept squeezing his eyebrows, and secretly stuffed a business card into his clothes.

Immediately, Sean dragged Vivien along with the crowd who kept shouting "For Love" and ran quickly.

...

At the same time, other police officers who were maintaining law and order also noticed this strange phenomenon, and they didn't pay attention to it at first, until one of the officers pointed to the red-haired female police officer who was being dragged by Sean and asked with confusion, "Guys, do you think that officer is a bit like Director Vivien?"

"Huh?"

"Don't say it, it's like it. ”

"What do you mean, who do you think can be a female police officer with long burgundy hair who is not sent to maintain law and order now?"

"You've found a blind spot, man. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Haha, it's nothing, but I do admire Director Vivien's boyfriend. ”

"How?"

"A true warrior dares to face the roar of the dragon, and he can also face the iron fist of the chief. ”

"Haha, man, you know too much. ”

"Isn't it because of love?"

"Yes, for love. ”

I don't know which policeman suddenly shouted this sentence, and suddenly the policeman and the farmer fell silent, and then they all raised their right hands together and shouted:

"For love. ”
