After dinner, Duchamp sent Liermu and the others back to the hotel, and by the way, he told Mura the information he had just obtained, and whispered to Mura to keep the walkie-talkie and not to let Olivier use the walkie-talkie to chat casually. Hearing this www.biquge.info Mura frowned, and forcibly confiscated the walkie-talkie, despite Olivier's protests.

Learmey was not accustomed to this kind of life, and he asked Duchamp in a low voice, "Styry, when are we going back?" ”

Duchamp didn't know the answer, and said vaguely: "I have to wait until I finish the Speaker's banquet, and I heard that the banquet will discuss trade with the Gatapunian territory." ”

"By the way, we have also been invited, and when the time comes, we will also go and see what the feast of the upper class of Gataponia is like." Olivier leaned his face over, a look of innocence and anticipation.

Duchamp glared at him. "In such a strange situation as Julai, you still have the heart to go to the banquet."

"Even if something happens, we're just a bunch of bystanders, what does it have to do with us?" Olivier said disapprovingly, indirectly expressing his revolt against the deal between Mura and Duchamp behind his back.

"Oreo, I'm afraid that the banquet is not so simple, in case there is someone who shouldn't show up."

"Hmph, I've been so bored these days, I won't let go of such a chance to relax!"

Duchamp shrugged and left. Mulla will watch Olivier anyway.

When he returned to his hiding place, he cautiously looked around the warehouse, but found no sign of the young Kulo.

"It's not like he took the 100,000 meters and ran away, right?" Thinking of this possibility, he laughed out loud without self-deprecation, knowing that his thoughts were complete nonsense. There is definite information that the former mayor and speaker of parliament, who died shortly after his death, were long-term political enemies, and the mayor was a well-known conservative in Julai, who was embarrassed to step down because of his open opposition to Julai's entry into the empire, and was even involved in a railway bombing case before stepping down, and the young Kulo was his only relative. In such a situation, Kuro has every reason to cooperate with Lu.

There were several people in the warehouse, Lu and Gavin.

Lu told Duchamp that Kuro had just come, and seeing that Duchamp had not returned, he said that he would come back in the evening, and Lu did not force him to stay.

It was getting dark. A small boat quietly approached the old warehouse, close to the docks, and Akin, followed by Garr, and a middle-aged man whom Duchamp had not seen.

"This is Mr. Walter Afelai, you must have seen his little cuties." Lu pointed to the man and introduced him enthusiastically.

Duchamp suddenly realized that he remembered Lu Lei's pair of naughty bags. "Fortunately! Mr. Afelai. ”

"Our people have all gone to the docks." Ah Jin said excitedly.

"Lu, what are you doing with all your men in the city?" Duchamp turned around and asked for directions in surprise.

"I have a hunch that Julay is getting more and more unusual, and we have to hurry. That Kulo said that as long as we could show what it was to his satisfaction, he would be able to get us direct evidence of the Wheat Field tragedy. As soon as the truth is known, we need to do it quickly and evacuate immediately. Lu said, grabbing the gun in his hand.

With the smell of the sea on his body, Ah Jin took out a chart and marked it on one of the points. "We found a hidden island in the sea, and there is a kind of magical beast on it that is difficult to deal with, and usually no one goes up at all. There is a large cave on the island that can be used as a temporary base. ”

Gal added: "On the dock, we have two clippers hidden and ready to be activated. ”

Mr. Afelai pointed to the map, detailing the island and the surrounding terrain, laying out the reaction and offensive retreat routes in the event of various accidents, and the tone of his voice showed that he had a wealth of combat experience.

As Mr. Afelai spoke, Akin, with a look of reverence, whispered to Duchamp: "Walter is from Norsampuria, and I have heard that many battles have been fought. ”

It turned out to be a fighting nation, Duchamp shrugged his shoulders and leaned in to study seriously.

"There's a dinghy coming in through the waterway." The man in charge of the sentry exclaimed.

The people in the warehouse immediately became invisible and each found a combat post. Walter turned off the lights.

Lu looked out the window for a few seconds and made a judgment: "It's that kid!" ”

Kulo jumped ashore from the dinghy, and without hesitation walked towards the darkened warehouse, pushed open the door, stepped in, and asked into the darkness:

"You're here?"

Lu turned on a dim little lamp, stood up, crossed his hands and asked, "Boy, don't think that if we ask you, we can make a fool of myself like last time, and let me see something practical." ”

Kulo also clasped his hands and asked rhetorically without showing weakness: "Before answering this question, you should show me the evidence that can prove that you have the strength to do great things." ”

Several figures flashed out of the darkness. Kuro glanced at the guy on the mercenary's back and nodded: "The gun is good, but I don't need it yet." "Now it's your turn, boy, what about the evidence you say?" Behind Kurlo, Walter Afelai's shadow flashed, and he blocked the boy's retreat, raising his gun and aiming it at the back of the boy's heart.

"That's an unfriendly way of talking!" Finding himself surrounded, Cullo calmly turned around and protested at Mr. Afeilai's gun.

"Don't get me wrong, that's the way mercenaries always talk." Duchamp jumped down from the beam of the house and said with a grin, "In the afternoon, you took me to the exchange, and you said that you wanted to show me the evidence, and I also went, but found nothing, where is the evidence you said?" ”

Kuro shrugged his shoulders and tried to pull something out of his pocket, but reached into it and remembered that he had been poor for too long, and that the redemption ticket had already cost him. Awkwardly, he withdrew his hand from his pocket and extended his hand to Duchamp. "Do you still have that kind of redemption on you? Take one out. ”

Duchamp suspiciously took out another redemption ticket. Kuro took it, carefully flattened it, and placed it on the table.

"In the exchanges, you should have seen it, there are people everywhere who use this kind of redemption. But have you looked closely at these redemptions? ”

Duchamp looked at it carefully for a long time and replied: "It has the seal of the bank, the private seal and the signature of the head of the household. "Look closely!" Kuro held up the voucher and waved it in the air. "But other than that, it's a piece of paper, a beautifully printed piece of paper! This piece of paper replaces a large stack of Mira, and it also has a joint exchange function, which can also be exchanged in large banks across the mainland. You've investigated the Julay Commercial Bank, so you must know who its owner is. ”

Lu nodded. "Delgado!"

"The cause of the tragedy in Wheat Field Town was the embezzlement of the railway land, so have you investigated, what is the total amount of embezzlement?"

"At least 120 million milas."

For the first time, a satisfied smile appeared on Kulo's face: "Yes, it has been carefully investigated, but the total amount is not precise enough. To be exact, the total should be 240 million. ”

Kuro leaned back in his chair, holding his head in his hands, recalling the numbers and complicated events in his mind, sorting out their veins little by little.

"This figure was originally proposed by the parliament. The empire offered to build the railway to Julay in full, including not only the cost of construction, but also the huge compensation for the land. The then Commissioner of Finance proposed to defer the payment of a small portion of the land compensation for two years to ease the growing financial pressure. Considering that the city hall was already running a large deficit, the mayor at the time, who was also my grandfather, also agreed to the bill. But within two years, the situation was treacherous, and the pattern of Julay changed dramatically, and most importantly, the money disappeared from Julai. ”

"Gone?" Duchamp repeated in surprise.

"Hah, that's it." I hadn't talked about it for a long time, and now that there was a group of listeners, Kuro couldn't help but feel emotional, and there was even a little excitement in his voice. "That's right, disappeared in plain sight!" He stared at the road and declared in a loud voice: "Now, I can conclude that your parents, all the victims in Wheat Town, and a series of events that happened later, are all because of the sacrifice of this money!" ”
