Chapter 32: Dragon's Eye
Seeing Kelvin's doubts, the man introduced himself.
"Oreo Pravor, professional detective."
Kelvin wasn't as flustered as he thought, he put down his glass and said disdainfully.
"Professional detective?"
Oreo nodded, looking serious.
"Yes, professional detective."
"So......" Kelvin sat back in his place, staring into Oreo's eyes with interest, "are you going to arrest me?" ”
"Of course." Oreo nodded as a matter of course,
"But before I can do that, I have to follow the process to judge you."
Hearing this ridiculous words, Kelvin narrowed his eyes and sat up straight.
I don't know if it was because of the illusion caused by alcohol or something else, but he felt a hint of threat from this man.
But it's just a threat.
"Trial?" Kelvin nodded and held out his right hand, "Please." ”
"Okay."
Oreo nodded again, "Then these dead people will serve as a jury, I promise they are fair and impartial." ”
Kelvin corrected.
"No, they just passed out."
Oreo raised his head and said firmly.
"But they're going to die sooner or later, aren't they, and that includes you, and maybe me."
Kelvin sneered.
"That's right."
Oreo frowned, pensive.
"So, Lord Kelvin, where does the story begin......
Kelvin glanced out the window, and in the moonlight, the Hora Mountains were clearly visible in the distance, indicating that the steam locomotive was still moving on its course.
Since my time has not been delayed, it is not bad to listen to Mr. Detective's high opinion.
He filled his glass and said.
"Let's start with the Walden Bank robbery."
After thinking for a while, Oreo frowned.
"Let's start with the robbery, then...... Mr. Kelvin, although I have never seen your move, I know that you are a well-known bounty hunter in the mainland, otherwise you would not have been commissioned by some big man. ”
Kelvin said nonchalantly.
"Yes, a big man."
"That lord is a Venada who told you to go to Walden Bank and steal a batch of safes, and he must have promised you a lot of benefits."
Looking at Oreo's puzzled eyes, Kelvin took a sip of wine before speaking.
"The annex he promised me in the capital of the Vinada Empire, along with 20,000 gold coins."
Oreo commented.
"Quite a good pay, so you didn't hesitate to take it.
However, you will definitely be puzzled, because thirty-one safes are not worth that much money, so there must be something quite precious hidden in them. ”
Despite his best efforts, Kelvin smiled smugly.
"Yes, quite precious."
Oreo said quietly.
"But what you don't know is that the big people in Turin also value these safes, and in order to get something, they will not hesitate to make a deal with you, and of course you will pretend to say yes...... Because you desperately need a chance to get out. ”
Kelvin nodded.
"It's nature."
Oreo stood up suddenly, but Kelvin didn't panic, he looked at Oreo and then at the bottle in his hand.
"Do you want wine?"
Oreo held out his right hand.
"yes, the bottle in your hand."
Two positions away, Kelvin tossed the bottle over.
Oreo said as he walked back to his place.
"You bribed the first pursuers with a portion of your treasure, but you know that the second group of pursuers will come after you sooner or later, and you don't have enough money to make this group of men obedient, so you have a second plan."
After a moment of silence, Kelvin said admiringly.
"You're right, it's the auction last night."
"It's a brilliant idea," Oreo said in admiration. "In the name of treasure, rob the nobles of their money. Then you divide the money in half, give half to Cathu, and ask him to return to Turin on his errand, and the other half to appease his men. ”
Kelvin's face grew heavy because Oreo was right about almost every point.
Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Oreo continued.
"But you made a serious mistake, and I only found out after boarding the steam locomotive."
Kelvin shook his head.
"Mr. Detective, I don't know what I did wrong."
Oreo was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Oh, you deserve it."
Without waiting for Kelvin to reply, he continued.
"Your Excellency Kelvin, you are wrong to be too greedy, you could have taken that thing away with you, but you wanted to kill your men and take this treasure for yourself."
Oreo raised his voice and said with dancing hands. "Your Excellency Kelvin, you have killed two birds with one stone, and you still want to kill three birds with one stone is the biggest mistake."
Kelvin's eyes sharpened, and he asked hurriedly.
"What do you mean?"
Oreo avoided his bloodshot eyes and bowed his head.
"Lord Kelvin, it's not hard for me to know your origins.
Your father was a soldier of the East Ikra Empire who died in the battle to suppress the rebellion of the Venada Empire, so you will never agree to the request of the Venada nobles to steal the treasure on their behalf. ”
Kelvin quickly relaxed, and he said conceitedly.
"So what?"
Oreo said disappointedly, as if looking at an unsuccessful student.
"So, Lord Kelvin, you should take that treasure to the East Ikra Empire alone, instead of riding on this steam locomotive that goes to the Venada Empire on the surface."
"Forgive me for interrupting,"
Kelvin leaned forward, as if looking down at his prey.
"Mr. Detective, you are the smartest person I have ever met, and I admire you. But then again, what is your purpose, is it for the treasures, or for fame? ”
“......”
Oreo showed a rare look of confusion, and he thought for a moment before speaking.
"You may not believe it, but I didn't intend to get involved in it at all."
Still, he turned around and looked for something beneath the pile of gold coins, and it wasn't long before he saw him carry out a safe.
Kelvin asked with interest as he drank the wine from his glass.
"Mr. Detective, that's the only safe I haven't opened, can you tell me what's in there?"
"Because this box is going to self-destruct, right?" Oreo put the safe behind him and shook his head.
"I don't know what's in it, but it's definitely a message, a message that is bad for one or more adults in Turin."
Kelvin said in surprise.
"That's a lot of money."
"It's worth a lot of money, but it's not as good as what you have."
Oreo patted the safe behind him and sat down.
Kelvin looked out the window again, and then said.
"Mr. Detective, if your target is this box, I can give it to you, it's a recognition of the smart."
Oreo scratched his head, a look of incessant resignation.
After a long time, he said.
"Mr. Kelvin, I'm afraid I'm asking for more than that."
Unexpectedly, Kelvin laughed, waved his hand casually, and said heroically.
"Mr. Detective, as long as you can handle it, you can choose what is in this carriage!"
"Oh."
Oreo nodded, stretched out his right hand, and said word by word.
"Kelvin, I want the dragon's eye in your hand."
