72 Behind the scenes
Saint Laurent neighborhood, 23.
It is a small single-family building, with a lawn in front and a back garden in the back, and the house has three floors, and the shape is similar to that of the Bell family, except that one is located on the east side of the block and the other is the westernmost part, which is still far apart.
This is the residence of Lord Fontaine.
Although he is a nobleman, Fontaine does not live on the north shore of Reims City, as an outsider and a native of the imperial capital, he is actually not accepted by the aristocratic circle of Reims City, and despises the chain thing, although there is a high and low difference, but it is also relative.
The people of the imperial capital look down on the rude and uneducated provincials, and in the same way, the provincials will also exclude the people of the imperial capital, even if they want to be the imperial capital, and even, very easily, accept the popular culture from the imperial capital, which does not prevent them from saying all kinds of disrespectful and despising the imperial capital, especially an existence like Lord Fontaine.
Of course, Lord Fontaine is a transcendent being, and in the entire city of Reims, few people dare to despise Fontaine head-on, and all these nobles can do is to spontaneously isolate Fontaine from their social circle.
In their opinion, this is a victory.
It's just that for Fang Dan, this isolation is ridiculous.
He was no ordinary nobleman, and the transcendent looked no different from ordinary people, in fact, more like a different creature.
Interpersonal relationships, social circles, these are just dispensable aids, it is good to have nature, and it is much smoother to get things done, even if there is none, in fact, there are not too many obstacles.
After all, when it comes to the Mystery and other transcendents, relationships and nothing come in handy.
Johnny stood in front of the door and rang the doorbell.
In fact, for him, things like doors and walls are actually non-existent obstacles, and with his extraordinary abilities, his body can be blurred and ignore these obstacles.
Ring the doorbell before entering, he rarely does anything like that anymore.
At this moment, I had to do it.
The doorbell rang for a moment, then it stopped suddenly, and the door in front of Johnny opened silently, and the living room, which had been dark, was lit up one after another.
Johnny glanced back behind him.
The rain pierced through the somewhat gray sky, tearing into thin lines and enveloping the entire neighborhood, and a little further away, it was a hazy cloud.
Night is coming.
Passing through the porch and into the living room, the door closed silently behind Johnny, keeping the rain and darkness out, and strangely enough, the unusually bright interior gave a very eerie loneliness.
Johnny silently entered the living room and stood in front of the fireplace.
In the fireplace, neatly stacked firewood spews flames in the fireplace, making a sound of peeling.
"Got a clue?"
The living room was empty, but there was a voice.
The sound is as if it was made from a synthesizer, and it is different from normal human voices, with an eerie mechanical sound.
In front of Johnny, on the wall above the fireplace, hangs a top hat.
The black top hat is a bit like the character in the animated video of Aqua Blue Star, on the top of the top hat, there is a blurred face, and the facial features on the face are faintly visible, and the voice comes from that mouth.
It throbbed, twisting like a man's whole body tickling, but it never got out of the nail that hung on it.
The scene was extremely eerie, and ordinary people might have fainted to the ground, or fled in amazement.
Johnny was not surprised, his expression was as solemn as ever, he took off the top hat on his head, put it on his chest, and bowed slightly towards the top hat, before raising his hand to arrange his messy hair.
As he straightened his hair, he spoke.
"I found a clue, but, I don't know if it's useful?"
Johnny's voice was deep and powerful.
"Oh!"
The top hat lengthened the voice.
Then, a creepy shrill laugh rang out inside the top hat, like a pervert who couldn't control his emotions, and it took a while for the shrill shrill laughter to fade away.
"Whew......"
The laughter was followed by the sound of whipping.
It was like a tiny whip coming down and striking at the top hat.
In Johnny's line of sight, electric light was faintly visible, and at the same time, there were strong energy fluctuations.
"Good...... Good...... Lord Fontaine, I see!"
The top hat suddenly swelled, and then shrunk again, like a child being beaten by an adult, begging for mercy.
"What a clue, you say!"
The top hat became serious, and although the voice was still weird, the attitude was normal.
Then Johnny's voice rang out in the room, as low and powerful as ever, not hurried, not much, but telling the whole thing clearly, and his language organization was far superior to Livingston's.
"Ryan Charles?"
Inside the top hat, the voice of Lord Fontaine came out.
"Yes, Ryan Charles, the same kid who recently entered the department, this time, he also followed Livingston with us to the warehouse, the scene of the murder!"
Johnny added.
Then, there was silence.
There was black smoke condensing on the top hat, and in the black mist, there was the shrill cursing of the top hat, and the sound of whipping electricity one after another, the guy cursed and begged for mercy, and the curse and begging for mercy cycled.
Then, the black mist spread out and fell to the ground, forming a human figure.
Soon, the black figure turned into reality, and Lord Fontaine appeared in front of Johnny, and when he appeared, the top hat hanging from the wall fell off the nails and appeared on his hand, which was worn on his head instead.
At that moment, a top hat was a top hat, just like the same type of top hat hanging from the shop windows on the street.
"There's something going on over there in Rock Village, and I can't stay long...... You talk about things quickly, make things clearer!"
Johnny nodded.
"This kid was recruited by Mr. Albert?"
"Yes"
Johnny nodded again.
"As far as I know, he was recommended by a childhood friend of Mr. Albert, and Mr. Albert owes that friend a favor, and this time, it is a favor to return that one!"
Johnny should have done his homework beforehand and came prepared, and he quickly explained Ryan's background and the reason why he was recruited by Iris very clearly, and he should be very capable of learning this in such a short time.
"Albert doesn't know this kid is the target of Swan Castle?"
Lord Fontaine glanced at Johnny and asked softly.
Johnny shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know about this, Mr. Albert, I don't dare to peep into ......"
