Chapter 248: The Assassin and the Hero (21)
Most of Thorn's men were scattered across the ground as they had to fight against the royal guards, and she only brought five or six men to the underground vault. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It didn't take much effort for Tang Tu and Van Gogh to come to Soon, and Soon himself did not have the force, so Tang Tu easily stabbed her throat.
A flash of white light, Lucy. The scene of Soon's last words begins.
"Hey, you finally killed me, but what's in it for you? The Holy Shroud is not here. ”
"Holy Shroud? We've got it. ”
"No way, the piece you got is fake. You short-sighted guys are always here to sabotage our plans. It would be a waste for the Templars to use their power to enhance the lives of humanity, and for you Assassins to accumulate power and not use it.
Oh no, you just want to live in the primitive past. Hmph, I hope you will never find the true Holy Shroud, you don't understand its value at all. ”
Tang Tu took the necklace around her neck from Thorn's corpse, as it looked like a key.
If what Thorn said was true, and the Holy Shroud in Green's hand was fake, then the treasure key they got might also be fake.
The Patrolman led the royal guard into the underground vault.
"Hurry up, I've got to set off the alarm. You'd better get out of here before I do that, I'll delay as long as I can. ”
Tang Tu nodded, "Thank you." ”
With the help of the patrolman to delay the time, Tang Tu and Van Gogh quickly left the Tower of London in successive sprints, and they returned to the train Bertha.
Tang Tu handed the necklace he had taken from Thorn to Green, "Thorn is dead, and Stadrey must be jumping to his feet in anger now, but we also have bad news. Before she died, Thorn said that the Holy Shroud we had obtained before was a fake, and I suspected that the key was also a fake, so I took back what she was carrying, and you can see. ”
Greene put on his glasses and looked at the key on the necklace and said in surprise, "This key... Pretty much exactly the same as the one we got before, it seems that only one of the two keys is real. ”
Tang Tu patted Ge Lin on the shoulder, "I've taught you all these technical analysis jobs. ”
"No problem, oh yes, remember our friend Fidelek. Officer Eberlin? He seems to have something to do with you. He's been haunting Bank Street lately, you can go there and find him. ”
Tang Tu and Van Gogh came to Bank Street.
There are people coming and going, there are newsboys shouting in the streets, beggars begging in the streets, bankers hurrying, and many more idlers waiting for their opportunities.
Detective Eberlin likes to disguise, and he must be among them.
Tang Tu opened his eagle eye, and sure enough, he found a suspicious person, and made a look at Van Gogh, and the two of them followed silently.
The man seemed to notice that he was being followed, and suddenly he ran, and Tang Tu and the others also ran, their speed was much faster than that person, and they soon stuck behind the man.
Tang Tu quietly grabbed the man's arm, and Van Gogh leaned next to the man and whispered, "Detective Eberlin, didn't you let us come here to find you?" ”
The person caught in the middle sighed softly, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be the two of you, okay, let me go, let's go to the alley over there to talk." ”
Tang Tu let go of Ai Berlin's arm, and the three of them came to the uninhabited alley.
"Detective Elberlin, your disguise skills have improved again, and it took a lot of trouble for us to find you." Seeing that Ai Berlin's face was not very good, Tang Tu did not hesitate to compliment.
"I was going undercover because I was pretty sure there was an imminent robbery at the Bank of England. The kids at the station thought I was joking, and it wouldn't be funny if they had robbed them of their savings. ”
"Robbery..."Tang Tu touched his chin, "What do we need to do?" ”
"Well, the Bank of England branch is robbed every financial quarter, and the point is that each time a different branch is robbed, so the police and the banks can't guard against it.
Recently, I found out that the robbers were backed by the merchant Kok Khan. Kirk Khan provided them with weapons.
I've just received word that Kirkhan's next batch of weapons has just arrived at the docks, and I need you to hunt down the owner of this batch so we can know who is going to rob the bank. ”
So, Tang Tu and Van Gogh went to the Thames docks, inquired about the cargo ship of Dork Khan, and followed the porters to load the carriage.
The other party loaded a total of three carriages, and Tang Tu and Van Gogh went over to check the goods on the carts incognito. One was filled with tea, the other was porcelain, and the third carriage was filled with weapons.
Van Gogh made a very subtle and unique mark on the third carriage so that they could easily identify it during the tracking.
After a while, someone came over and got into three carriages, the carriages started slowly, and Tang Tu and Van Gogh followed all the way on the roof.
After driving together for a distance, the three carriages parted ways, and Tang Tu and the two ignored the other two, only staring at the marked vehicles.
"It seems that they did it on purpose, and the other two vehicles were used to distract the enemy." Van Gogh said.
The tracking process was not very smooth, when the carriage passed through the square, because there was no foothold at a high place, Tang Tu and the two had to return to the ground, grabbed a passing carriage and continued to track.
Snipers were also spotted on the way in the middle, and before the snipers found them, Tang Tu and Van Gogh dealt with them.
The carriage traveled to the vicinity of the railway station, and the carriage changed drivers once. Eventually, they stopped in front of a mansion.
Several people wearing top hats walked out of the mansion, because of the cover of the brim, Tang Tu and the others saw the faces of these people above, but from the ownership of this mansion, they had already guessed who the people below were.
"That seems to be Starry himself?" Van Gogh said in disbelief.
"Well, he's a Templar, unlike people like Thonn, his force value is above the two of us, after all, he is a big boss." Tang Tu said.
Van Gogh suddenly made a sudden realization, "I remembered, before... On one of the side quests, we overheard a conversation where the minions we killed said that Starry would personally lead the bank robbery. ”
Tang Tu thought for a while, "I also have a little impression when you mention this, it seems that when you were doing the assessment task, you didn't care about it for the time being, looking at their appearance, it seems that they are about to set off, they are planning to rob the bank now?" ”
The group of men below got into the carriage, and one of them, who appeared to be Starley, instructed the next one, "Just like before, let Prades open the vault, and we'll loot the things before leaving the money in his warehouse." We've lost a lot of money in other places lately, and we're all waiting for this money. ”
Tang Tu frowned, "Prades... It sounds like this person is a bank insider, an inside line for them. ”
"This is critical information, and Detective Eberlin will be pleased." Van Gogh said.
Tang Tu nodded, "I'm afraid it's too late to stop this robbery, but knowing this person, the police just need to keep an eye on him, anyway, the money Stadier stole is in this person's warehouse, and it can't fly anywhere..."
Tang Tu and the others went back to find Detective Aiberlin and told him what they had found.
Aberlin was really excited, he couldn't fight against Starley's robbery alone, but he could make further arrangements for Tang Tu and the news they had gotten.
Ai Berlin returned to the police station, and Tang Tu and Van Gogh returned to the train Bertha.
Ge Lin was still immersed in research, but he waved his hand at Tang Tu and the others and ignored them.
Tang Tu and Van Gogh are a little bored, it seems that Ge Lin can't receive the task here for the time being, and the mission is not over yet, do you want to visit all the NPCs you know?
Suddenly, a letter in Green's hand caught Van Gogh's attention because the pattern on the envelope of the letter was very peculiar.
Van Gogh looked at the name on the envelope and said, "A letter...?" Green, is this your letter? ”
Greene finally looked up, "Yes, it's a dinner invitation, from Maxwell. Rose, the leader of the Blighters. ”
"Hongmen Banquet?" Van Gogh took out the invitation, "Are you going to a banquet?" ”
"Of course not, I'm so busy that I don't have time to go to this kind of banquet where you can see that there is a problem." Greene said.
However, Van Gogh took a great interest in banquets, and the "Hongmen Banquet... It seems to be funny, since you don't go yourself, how about we go instead of you? At least we can't let the Blighters think we're scared of them. ”
Greene rubbed the corners of his forehead, which was a little painful, "You two want to go?" It's okay, but you have to be safe. ”
"Don't worry, if things don't go well, we'll run away." Van Gogh said.
So, Tang Tu and the two came to Maxwell according to the address on the invitation letter. Rose's mansion.
Van Gogh looked at the tall building in front of him and asked incredulously, "Wow, is this leader of the Blighters a nobleman, and he actually lives in such a castle-like mansion?" ”
Tang Tu raised his eyebrows, "Who knows, anyway, these gang members who follow Starui are very rich, maybe he really donated a noble title." ”
Van Gogh looked at the two-meter-high gate in front of him and sighed, "I can't get in at the main gate, there is no doorbell, and I guess I can't hear the knockers. ”
"Go to the back door and take a look, since he sent an invitation to Green, it's impossible not to leave us the door." Tang Tu said.
The back door of Rose's mansion was just an ordinary small door, and sure enough, there was a man in a top hat guarding there.
Van Gogh handed over the invitation, "We're here to find Your Excellency Ross." ”
The guard took the invitation and glanced at it, and said to Tang Tu and the two, "Weapons? ”
Tang Tu raised his eyebrows, "I don't need this, we can just take it ourselves, and we won't bother you." ”
The guard was expressionless, "You'd better settle down, gentlemen, and go in." ”
The guard opened the back door, and Tang Tu and the two glanced at each other and walked in.
In the living room, a man was pouring wine on the dining table, when he heard footsteps and raised his head, his eyes lit up when he saw Tang Tu and the two, it seemed that he knew Tang Tu and the two.
"Distinguished guests have arrived, it is a surprise for the two of you to come, and the two of you have been in the limelight in London lately... Come in, please be seated. ”
It seems that this man is Maxwell. Ross too. Tang Tu and Van Gogh laughed twice, and the two of them sat down at the table unceremoniously.
Rose took two wine glasses and put them in front of Tang Tu and the others, and took an open bottle of red wine and poured them on them.
"I've been paying attention to the two of you for a while, and you're fighting the tough Crovert. Starey confronted, and the heroic demeanor of the two was truly admirable. ”
Tang Tu took a sip of red wine, "Let's knock down your men one by one, aren't you angry?" ”
"Quite the opposite," Rose shook his head as he siped, "surprise is the best spice for life, but when it comes to Lord Starry, that's a different story. Managing the gang makes me burnt out, and it's all very boring for me. So, let's work together to bring down Starley, what do you think? ”
Van Gogh looked at Ross, "What a surprise, sure enough, as you said, surprise is the best spice of life." ”
Tang Tu also looked at Rose, "I'm afraid this is not a surprise but a fright..."
Rose's voice deepened, "Friend, I understand your concerns, if I don't teach you a good lesson about Starry, you can burst into this theater and kill me with your own hands." ”
"You're a theater here?" Van Gogh's eyes lit up.
"It's not a remodeling, it's still a theater in front, I'm just borrowing it from behind, you see, it's also an arrangement of His Excellency Starley, or a handout." At the mention of Starley, Ross looked impatient.
Tang Tu put down his wine glass, "Why are you doing this, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?" ”
"I want to have some fun with the bravest men in London," Ross said.
Tang Tu shook his head, "I thought you and Starry had the same purpose, and we wouldn't trust you without a clear reason. ”
"Well," Rose seemed to sigh, "you know, he asked me to help train his gang boss, but that guy is disgusting. ”
Tang Tu looked surprised, "Aren't you the boss of the gang?" ”
"I'm talking about the guy who carried out Starry's orders, and I had to hide behind the scenes. You know, it's all about freedom, and I run the gang to get more freedom, but it also makes me lose more freedom.
I must do Starey's orders, he is the real gang leader, and I am just his puppet. Taking away my freedom is a heinous sin, and Starey is simply discrediting my humanity by doing this to me. I'm a bloody man..."
"Poof" Van Gogh laughed, randomly realized his gaffe and quickly apologized. Rose didn't seem to care about his rudeness.
"I've got you covered, St Pancras Station has a large amount of explosives that will be delivered to Starley Telecom. How about we make a big ticket? Go and detonate the explosives. (To be continued.) )
