"Of course I do, but the sun hasn't set yet."

Li Yan replied to Dorothy as he took off the steam armor that he had accidentally destroyed and threw it into the iron box.

"Let's go early, today is the last show."

Dorothy walked over with a smile and took off her hat to salute Liang Hui.

"Mr. Liang, Redrick is a good and honest lawyer, and he will definitely be able to help you."

Liang Hui bowed deeply: "Thank you very much, Miss Dorothy, the Chinese of this city will remember your deeds." ”

"I'm just doing what anyone with a conscience would do. I still have a show in the evening, and if nothing else, I'll go first. ”

With that, Dorothy glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan nodded knowingly.

Then he followed Dorothy out of the door and into the ornate carriage.

From beginning to end, Duke Veran just stood quietly, gloomy and silent.

The short-haired girl who drove Dorothy whistled, "Mr. Pinkerton, can you move your car a little?" ”

Several black-clad detectives looked at Duke Verand.

"Let's go."

Duke waved his hand, and he threw a vicious sentence at Liang Hui: "Greetings Monsieur Saint-Yves of Enfield." ”

With that, Duke drove away with his agents in a steam cart under the watchful eyes of everyone.

In the carriage.

"I think I'll make the headlines of tomorrow's lace newspapers."

Li Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"Do you know what today's newspaper headlines are?"

Dorothy poured Li Yan a cup of black tea: "Several local newspapers that commented on the drama severely criticized my new version of "Giant Lake" because I used a Chinese as the protagonist. I received a lot of threatening letters, and some people went to the government to report the Black Rose Theater. These Yankees are really."

"Sounds like you're in a bad place."

"On the contrary, I think it's a good opportunity."

Dorothy shrugged: "If I stop performing for no reason, I'm going to get a lot of resistance, and that's a good reason." ”

She looked at Li Yan hopefully: "If you can really get rid of it." It's all worth it. ”

"You promised Pinkerton that he wouldn't pester me again, but you broke your promise."

Zhen Lian looked at Zhen Lian forcefully, and his tone was extremely stern.

Zhen Lian's face was a little flustered, and she forced herself to calm down, "Didn't he leave in the end?" Pinkerton's investigation into your crime has long since been dropped. I can vouch for my life for this, and I don't know why Duke Veran still found you. ”

Liang Hui's face suddenly calmed down: "That Viper Detective deliberately threatened me with the name of Saint Yves before leaving, which means that the Pinkerton Detective Agency accepted the employment of Enfield Arms Company, and they received the news that we were going to strike." Hmph, the ghost is not gone. ”

Zhen Lian was afraid and angry when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Since you have already guessed it, why are you still asking me for no reason." It's not my responsibility. ”

Liang Hui ignored Zhen Lian's complaints, and just paced back and forth in the room with his brows twisted.

Pinkerton is famous, not to mention that Liang Hui's foundation is not clean, and it is impossible to say that he doesn't have a headache.

Zhen Lian saw it in his eyes and said softly: "It's better to put it aside for ...... first."

"Do you think this is a child's house?"

Liang Hui interrupted her, and he sat back in his seat, picked up the cigarette pouch and pot on the table, and smashed it on the ground angrily, knocking out cigarette ash all over the ground.

"Of the fifty-two chairmen of the Seventh Hall of the Chinese General Association, except for two abstentions, the rest are on my side. The general chairman of the Ningyang Association spared no effort to support me. I got a favor and spent the money. I led the strike, and now I want to be the first to give in? It would be better to kill me. ”

In the past, Liang Hui, who was full of injuries and relied on opium for pain relief, may not have the courage to call out Pingketon. But today, his exuberant energy and ambition have long swelled to a point where he didn't dare to think in the past.

"Pinkerton has a criminal record, and when the time comes, how will you end up? But the gentleman said that he would not interfere. ”

Zhen Lian sneered.

Liang Hui's eyes rolled again and again: "We, isn't there another Mr. Cha?" ”

Zhen Lian appeared with a sneer: "Are you underestimating others too much?" The flame only dances with the flame, and playing with fire is self-immolation. ”

Liang Hui made a straight face: "In the past two days, he has been in the prostitution hall all day long. There have been several violent incidents against Chinese in that neighborhood in the past few days, and three major fires, but nothing has happened in the past two days, you should know what that means, and my request is just a boat ride for him. In the past, you have been serving the two gentlemen, and it is better for you to come forward in this matter, and it will be good for you and me to be able to do it. ”

Zhen Lian thought for a while, plucked a scaly-like hairpin from his hair, and nodded vaguely.

"Okay, I'll figure it out."

As dusk approached, the girls went downstairs in twos and threes, yawning lazily and freshening up, and the music on the gramophone was low and deep.

Cha Xiaodao stayed here for two days.

The "Book of Creation" is still in his hand, and Cha Xiaodao spends the rest of his time studying this "Book of Creation" except for going to the vegetable markets and restaurants in various neighborhoods every day, but unfortunately he still finds nothing.

When Zhen Lian came to visit, Cha Xiaodao was in the back kitchen, he was not used to sourdough bread and clam soup, and he had a natural good appetite, so he mostly cooked by himself.

When Chang~

Cha Xiaodao carried a plate of steamed mussels with onions and placed them on the wine table, peeling the shells. While listening to Zhen Lian's intentions, he nodded: "No problem." ”

"Really?"

Zhen Lian didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"I'm going to be staying here for the next few days, and if you can't find me, or if there's anything you need my help with, I'm not going to say no."

After speaking, Cha Xiaodao smiled at Zhen Lian and said, "Am I much better at talking than your blue-clothed majesty?" ”

Zhen Lian smiled awkwardly.

"It's nothing, I'll go and get busy with you."

Zhen Lian stood up and bowed, and then left.

Cha Xiaodao didn't know where to pull out the tome of the "Book of Creation", and while peeling the shellfish, he struggled to read the contents on it.

His hand fumbled across a plate full of mussels and inadvertently touched a cold palm.

Cha Xiaodao looked up and saw the swallow after washing his hair.

"Don't mind sharing me a little."

The swallow's laughter is a small pear nest.

"Don't mind."

In the past two days in the prostitution hall, Yanzi and Cha have become acquainted with each other a lot.

To be honest, the swallow's temperament is very pleasing to Cha Knife. If he hadn't used Chang Yu's psychological defense, the relationship between the two might have been further.

"Chang Yu hasn't come to me for two days."

The swallow tilted her head.

"Two days is not long."

"I've known him for a year and he comes every weekend. Even if they came to see me, they left immediately because they were in a hurry. Hey, the mussels you made are so delicious! ”

Zha Xiaodao raised his head when he heard this: "He didn't tell you about the deed?" ”

Swallow wiped the sauce on her lips with her fingers, opened her eyes wide and asked, "What deed?" ”

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Chang Yu rushed in excitedly, and when he saw Yanzi and Cha Xiaodao at a glance, he couldn't suppress his feelings: "Yanzi, I did it!" I'm heading to London for the World Expo! ”
