Balanchi and Garion hugged each other tightly, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief that the ghost that followed them had finally died at the mouth of their guns, which was a self-inflicted end.

Dumas held his shotgun, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, as if he was afraid of the scene just now.

What happens if he is a step too late?

After being taunted temporarily, Fred finally took his last breath, and before losing consciousness, his eyes were still staring at Garion, and the raised hand finally fell.

Everything is settled.

Seeing that Fred had taken his last breath, Baranchi rushed forward and kicked him a few times. Vent all your previous resentment.

"That's enough."

Garion grabbed Balanchi and whispered, "He's dead." ”

Balanchi, who was tightly grasping his wrist, spat at the corpse and said angrily, "A person like him is innocent of death!" ”

A thrilling contest ended, the three people present finally breathed a sigh of relief, at this time the London police also rushed over, they looked at the corpses lying on the ground in a pool of blood, as well as the guns in the hands of Garion and Dumas, and quickly raised the gun to the two people present, Garian also Dumas raised his hand, slowly squatted down, and put down the gun in his hand.

"Don't shoot, we're innocent, this man tried to block the road and robbed, and we shot him dead."

Garion gave Dumas a look, pretending to be flustered and saying, "We are defending ourselves, not shooting and killing." ”

"Shut up."

The policeman touched Fred's arteries and snort, and after confirming that the other man was dead, he pointed his gun at the three people in front of him.

Because the police also did not know whether it was a murder or what they said was justified defense, in his opinion, all three people present were murder criminals.

"We are not criminals......"

"Less nonsense."

The police confiscated the guns of the two men, pointed them at them and said, "Now come with me to the police station, whether the criminals will naturally know." ”

However, Garion had anticipated this situation for a long time, and even had a confession with Dumas before executing the plan.

Back at the police station in London, Garion begins to tell the story he had made up as if it were what was happening on the spot. He explained what was happening in a simple and clear way.

It was as if he had returned to the scene when he was interrogated in Paris, with the lampshade above his head glowing dimly, and he sat in a closed interrogation room, looking at the two policemen in front of him.

The other party pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and recounted Garion's confession to him.

"You mean that this suspect, who claims to be Jack the Ripper, forced you to get out of the car and threatened to kill you all after you came back from the party? Finally, your friend who happened to be passing by, Mr. Alexandre Dumas, killed the suspect by sneaking up from behind with a gun? ”

After listening to Garion's story, the policeman slammed the table, glared at the calm-looking man in front of him, and roared, "Are you really a fool for me?" Make up a story to fool a three-year-old child to fool me? ”

He stared at Garion's eyes, trying to find a flaw in the other person's eyes, but the man in front of him had always been unhurried, as if he didn't take them into account at all. In fact, Gallian did not need to be afraid of the police in London at all. Naturally, there will be people in Paris who put pressure on the British authorities.

"I'm not lying, Mr. Policeman."

Garion was not frightened by the other party's bluff, but said very calmly, "My coachman can testify to this question, this man did want to assassinate me. ”

The policeman interrupted him and asked, "Then how do you explain the gun you were carrying?" Do you usually carry a gun on the street? ”

He replied eloquently, "Do I have to explain that I have a gun with me?" Can't you bring guns to defend yourself if you have too many enemies? ”

At this time, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and the person who came in said to the police in the interrogation room, "It has been investigated, and it is true, because the deceased who was shot was killed for trying to intercept the carriage and assassination, and they are not guilty." ”

"But I think ......"

"Release them immediately."

The sheriff said impatiently, "Everything has been figured out, and there is no need to leave these guests here." ”

He pulled the police officer in the interrogation room and whispered, "They're coming back from a royal dinner party, you should know who can be invited in, right?" ”

The policeman's face changed, and he finally understood why he was so busy sending a few people away.

Now that they had spoken, there was no reason for them to stay at home, so they opened the shackles and let him leave.

While it is strange that both men were carrying weapons on the street at the same time, all the evidence, including eyewitnesses, pointed to Garion being in good faith.

So he could only be acquitted for a while.

At this time, Hugo, who had a gloomy face, also came to the police station, and when he heard that his prospective son-in-law had been arrested, he even attacked him on the spot. However, he endured it, after all, he was only a man of letters, and he had no more privileges in London than the title of leader of the literati in Paris. When he came to the police station and saw Garion and the other three coming out of the interrogation room, his hanging heart finally fell, he excitedly held the other party's hand, and asked in a low voice, "How is it, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Garian said with a smile, "After all, I am the victim, everything is settled, and the police have ruled that I am fighting back in self-defense and am not guilty." ”

"Yes."

The policeman who followed behind Garion said in a strange way, "And there is the guy who claims to be the ripper, and we will continue to follow him to find out if he has committed other crimes in London." Also, be careful when you go back and don't get stalked again. You were lucky enough to be dodged this time, and the next time this happens, you should seek assistance from the nearby police as soon as possible. After all, you're not a professional. ”

"Okay."

Garion smiled.

After leaving the police station, he felt more relaxed than ever. Hugo stood beside him, and he already knew about Gary's safety plan, and he asked directly, "What are you going to do next?" ”

He smiled slightly, in fact, he had already made a new plan in his heart, and said to Hugo, "Don't worry, the next thing has been measured, and I will take care of it." ”

Garion turned his head and said to the great writer beside him, "And Your Excellency Hugo, I would like to ask you for a favor. ”

Looking at Garion in front of him, Hugo didn't expect this young man to suddenly make a request, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want me to do for you?" I will try to help you as much as I can. ”

Garion calmly replied, "When you tell the others about what happened tonight, you say that the assassin was sent by the Count of Paris. ”

In response to this condition proposed by Garion, Hugo asked, "Huh? What do you want to do......"

Garion didn't make it clear, but just pretended to say, "You'll understand then." ”
