Chapter 30: The Baron
The dark carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion, and Lorenzo sat in the car and looked through the window, and the exquisite prosperity came into view.
After careful selection, Lorenzo set his sights on a baron, whose name was Able, because of his father's fortune in business, and although he was an incompetent man, he still lived an enviable and luxurious life in the old Dunling.
Lorenzo was identified as him because the baron's private life was very disorderly, and it was reported that he already had several wives, not to mention countless people, of course, this did not mean anything, and the real reason why Lorenzo was eyeing him was his wives.
According to the newspaper given by Beroe, the Baron Abel had been in contact with Hughes several times, and he hired many of the remnants of Gaul-Nalo from the south at a particularly cheap price from Hughes, and contrary to the expected discrimination, some of those remnants became Abel wives, but most of them did not live long before dying.
Several wives and people, Lorenzo made up tens of thousands of words in an instant, if he is really the next revenge man of the demon, then all this can be explained.
A poor girl came to the old Dunling in order to make a living, and died tragically under the pressure of the baron, so her admirers did not hesitate to become demons and chase down the old Dunling for revenge...... Vulgar tales, but with great possibilities.
"The Baron of Abel was in a downward spiral, and he could not afford to live in luxury, but he could not afford to pay the expensive commissions, so most of his servants were the remnants...... This is a common situation, they are the vulnerable, and in their hands, those people are like slaves hundreds of years ago. ”
Beroe said lightly, he didn't want to mention this, this was the dark side of Invig, even he would feel depressed and sad.
"He's probably not the only one who hired the remnants, right? ”
Lorenzo asked.
"Yes, but the more important reason is that Baron Able's wife has recently died, and if the demon is really as vulgar as you think, then it must be because of his wife. ”
"Mu's woman died so inexplicably...... This may be a reason to become a demon, but of course we should talk to the baron before it is officially confirmed. ”
Lorenzo pushed open the door and strode out, and with the whole of Invig behind the removal mechanism, it couldn't have been easier to break into a baron's home.
The shrike walked ahead, but this time he was not wearing a mask, after all, compared to his real appearance, it was the mask that really made people remember "shrike", and when he took off the mask, he was like a nobody, and no one could have imagined that the ruler of the lower city would be like this.
Joey followed the two, and the group pushed the iron gate of the mansion like this.
As the Shrike said, the Baron of Abel was obviously not very prosperous, and when he came in, he felt empty, Lorenzo could not even see a few servants, weeds were everywhere, and it seemed that the baron spent all his spare money on pleasure.
"Do you think he'll cooperate with us?"
As he was on the way, Lorenzo suddenly thought of this and asked the shrike.
Although he hadn't seen the Baron Abel yet, a nasty character had already come to Lorenzo's mind, asking about the shrike, but secretly holding Winchester's hands tightly.
In Lorenzo's career, he met many people, good guys, bad guys, adults, minors, men in skirts, women in bow ties, and many other strange people.
There is an old saying that there are many people, but Lorenzo felt that no matter how different that person is, or if the language is different, there is at least one thing that is common to human beings, to all life.
That's fear.
Fear of death is the international lingua franca.
It seems to sense Lorenzo's malice, and even if it is all mistaken and has nothing to do with this Baron Abel, his damn behavior still annoys Lorenzo, and sometimes this detective will not hide his malice towards others.
"He will cooperate with us, and even say that half of the nobles of Old Dunling will obey us if necessary. ”
In Lorenzo's suspicious gaze, the shrike was confident.
Shrike is the master of the lower city, but in reality he is only a puppet, and the real ruler of the lower city is the purifier, Queen Victoria, who lives in the Platinum Palace.
Countless nobles of Old Dunling had gone to the lower town, and everything they did would be closely recorded by the shrike, which would be the evidence to control them when necessary, and to judge.
"If that Baron Abel doesn't want to lose this honorable title, then he'd better do it. ”
Shrike smiled slightly, but the smile was chilling.
On the surface, the aristocracy ruled over the old Dunling, but in fact, the power of domination has always been firmly held in the hands of Queen Victoria.
Lorenzo glanced at the shrike and did not feel that the hearts of these political people were dirty, but at the same time he had a new understanding of the machine called the state.
Behind the Purifier is the whole of Invig, and this country has the most complete and powerful industrial technology in the world today, Lorenzo now sees far from the essence of this world, and there are more dangers hidden in that darkness, but now is not the time for them to appear.
Pushing open another big door, and no one even stopped Lorenzo, the smell of wine and extravagance came to his face, and the smell of wealth rolled in the whole air, rich and almost disgusting.
"It seems that this baron is more extravagant than we thought...... It's enviable. ”
Looking at the white body lying across the carpet and sofa, Lorenzo didn't know whether to envy or mock.
Shrike squinted at Lorenzo, then coughed vigorously.
The flames in the fireplace had been extinguished, only the embers were still faint, the winter in the old Dunling was very cold, and those white flowers seemed to have slept here all night, and they didn't know how much wine they had drunk, and they hadn't been awakened by the cold.
The heavy coughing sound obviously did not wake the men, and Lorenzo lifted Winchester in some reluctance, and before Shrike could stop him, he pulled the trigger, and the thunderous gunfire woke everyone up in an instant.
The girls were wrapped in blankets and had misty eyes, as if they hadn't figured out what was going on, but then they saw the people in black who looked like deaths standing in the doorway, and then let out a piercing scream and fled wrapped in blankets.
"What's wrong?"
The man got up from behind the sofa lazily, scolding and scolding, but soon a cold touch came from his forehead, and his sleepy eyes slowly opened, and then he completely sobered up.
Winchester pressed against his forehead, and Lorenzo asked with a look of disgust.
"Baron Able?"
Able nodded vigorously, he didn't even have time to lift his pants.
