"Looking for a place to have a drink?", Kevin had a hunch that he might have discovered something unusual, so his tone became very soft, more like an exchange between friends than the kind of red fruit business.

His words worked well, and Niles nodded in agreement, and he and Kevin found a bar nearby, asked for a very remote corner, and ordered a fairly good bottle of spirits.

The current Bureau of Contraband is faced with a very awkward situation, which was originally proposed by Mr. Maggs to be established in order to accompany the second prohibition and thus to tear apart the territory of the old party. This has indeed been achieved in part, that the Contraband Investigation Bureau has a lot of powers and is directly accountable to the state authorities, without going through the town hall and not under the management of the town hall.

Some places, such as Turnier, have played such a role.

But the Contraband Investigation Bureau is a bit awkward on the territory of the New Party, where they don't need to exercise their powers, like Illion, where the vast majority of bars have their own licenses, and the largest liquor merchant, Doolin, also has a liquor license. Once they have legal documents, their actions are legal and not subject to the Contraband Investigation Bureau. In such a city, the Contraband Investigation Bureau does not have an easy time.

Olodore is obviously the same, the bars in the wealthy area basically have business licenses, although most bars in the lower city do not have this paper, but these people are not so easy to catch, unless it is reported by peers. At the same time, another problem arises, even if there is a dirt among peers, they will not report it, and they will achieve their own goals through official means, and this dishonorable means will be spurned by everyone, and even cause a reputation crisis for the gang.

In such a situation, the RAD on the New Party turf is like a somewhat redundant department, with nothing to do all day.

The two of them sat down and drank a little wine, feeling a lot more relaxed, and Niles never knew how to speak, not because he wanted to speak, but Kevin took his point. In fact, all works of art that enter the Doge's Palace are registered and recorded in a book. This book is still in the safe in the treasury of the Governor's Palace. After the death of His Excellency the Doge, all the keys were retrieved by Vivien, and the seemingly scheming woman actually had her own style.

There were more than 300 works of art recorded in that book, including who sent them and when, but now there are less than 285 works of art in the Doge's Palace, and more than 20 works of art have disappeared completely.

Nils didn't have the courage to do such a frenzied thing, although it was no longer the old society of the past, and the nobles didn't even need any evidence to let the police arrest people just by suspicion, but once the matter was exposed, he would not be happy. Hundreds of years in prison are a certainty, unless he can close the loophole.

As long as he has money.

The problem is that he doesn't have any money, or he only gets a small portion of it.

The idea of stealing His Excellency the Governor's artwork and cashing it out was the idea of Vivien's two brothers, and they presided over it, and under the pretext of threatening the work of Nils and the other man, they were asked to take the works of art that His Excellency did not like from the Governor's palace for "maintenance" reasons, and then return them after dropping the bag.

What was sent back was not a high-quality fake, but the original picture frame or base plus some miscellaneous things, and it would be sent to the collection room after completing the storage procedures. Over the years, they have stolen a lot of things and sold them, and for the first time they may have been threatened, as well as a sense of conscience and fear. However, under the appeasement of a large income, they gradually became accustomed to the "poisoning" of this idea that "a son stealing Lao Tzu is not a thief", and became a matter of course.

As soon as the two young masters ran out of money, they would steal a piece of art and send it to the Federation to sell, and five percent of the money would be divided between the two craftsmen, and the rest would be divided between Vivien's two brothers.

The original plan was to steal out and destroy the register of all the works of art at about the same time, so that nothing would happen to His Excellency the Governor, after all, he could not remember everything in his collection, and when they were selecting works of art, they were looking for things that had not appeared in the Governor's Palace for a long time.

Who would have thought that the Governor would suddenly fall and his power would shrink, especially when the imperial dynasty was overthrown and the new party came to power, and the people who used to befriend him were gone. How could the Governor take out the notebook when there was no need to make a register? They had no reason to ask for it, the entire Governor's Mansion was the steward, and without reason or excuse, even if they had fooled His Excellency the Governor, they would not be able to fool Mr. Butler.

That's why a handle was left.

Once the matter is revealed, there is no way that anything will happen to His Excellency the Governor's two children, who simply take out their own belongings and sell them, and the two craftsmen will be unlucky, because their actions are legally defined as "theft". The value of those works of art is staggering, and once they stand in the courtroom, it means that they will never leave prison for the rest of their lives.

Originally, Nells and the other craftsman were cautious, but as His Excellency the Governor's health deteriorated in the past few years, and their energy and memory deteriorated severely, they gradually relaxed their vigilance. The money that was shady in the past was finally able to be used, and naturally began to pay attention to the thing of style. After staying in a place like the Governor's Palace for a long time, their aesthetics and tastes are also higher, and the turf for a dollar and a square meter is very much in line with Nells's aesthetics, and he can afford such an expense, so he uses it.

It was these turfs that allowed him to show his feet.

Kevin's words pierced his psychological defenses, he wasn't sure if Kevin would really do that, and find someone to accuse him of stealing things from the Governor's Palace, but once he did, Mr. Butler of the Governor's Mansion would start checking all the artworks, and there would really be a big incident at that time.

After drinking even a glass and a half of spirits, Nelles was a little drunk, he held his head in pain, and kept shaking his body, "I don't know what to say......"

Kevin patted him lightly on the back, "Just want to talk like that and tell me everything that happened, you know, I'm the best lawyer in the Empire, and with my help, even if you kill someone, I can convince the judge that it's that person he deserves to die, not that you're guilty." ”

Kevin's words seemed to be the light that tore through the night at dawn, he raised his head and looked at Kevin with pleading eyes, "What you said is true?", Kevin nodded, confirmed his question very seriously, and he began to slowly say everything that happened, both left and right are dead, it is better to choose a way to die slower," You know, the nature of our job is to keep the artworks in their original form, so we often send artworks that can't be handled in the Doge's Palace to be maintained in a more professional place......"

By one o'clock in the evening, three empty bottles had been placed on the table, and Nelles was already asleep, sleeping on his vomit. Kevin put down the pen in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief that he had won the case.

Two thieves and two thieves may be a joke in ordinary people's homes, but in the homes of an important political figure like the Governor, who was once an important political figure of the dynasty, it is definitely a scandal, and scandals will always have more and greater lethality than jokes.

Kevin glanced at Niles, who was sleeping in the vomit, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and took out twenty dollars for the waiter who came to inquire, "Give him a shower, wash off his clothes, and tell him to find a gentleman named Kevin tomorrow morning." ”

The waiter glanced at Niels, who was lying in the vomit and rolling in disgust, and after weighing the pros and cons, he reached out and took the twenty pieces from Kevin's fingers, "I see, sir." ”

"Good!", Kevin patted the waiter on the shoulder, "Smart people never make as much as honest people!"

At nine o'clock the next morning, Niels rang the doorbell of the Doge's Palace, and Mr. Butler looked at Niles with some strange eyes, and after His Excellency the Governor returned to the arms of God, the non-direct confidants of the Doge's Palace were all dismissed by Vivien, including this Mr. Niles. But he was very polite and asked, "Is there anything you need me to help with?"

Nelles lowered his head slightly and said, "I want to see Mr. Kevin!"

He swore that he would never drink again, at least not spirits. He didn't know what he had said last night, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said everything he couldn't say, and scolded the two young masters.

God is above, this is not what he really wants to do, it is all to blame on the guy named Kevin, who let himself drink so much that he said things that he shouldn't have said, and there are many more that he can't remember.

When he woke up in the morning in the room on the second floor of the bar, he knew that he was going to be finished, and now the only hope was on Mr. Kevin, who followed the waiter's message to Kevin to see if there was any way to turn around. He didn't want to be completely innocent, he just wanted to be able to spend a few years in prison.

A short time later, the butler opened the door after asking Kevin's opinion, let Nelles in, and pointed him out the room number of the room where Kevin was currently living. Nelles soon met Kevin, who was sitting in a chair by the window, writing something.

"Did you sleep well last night?", he smiled as he looked at Niels, and the sun fell on him, making him look like he was glowing.

"Not good at all!"
