Chapter 186: Traces of the Origin (3)
Dynasty Club.
Among the children of the imperial capital, there are many legends of this club.
Legend has it that the Dynasty Club is the first club in the entire imperial capital, and the people who created this club are the original Three Thousand Emperors, as well as many of the Three Thousand Emperors' comrades-in-arms and brothers.
No one knows whether this legend is true or not, and no one knows who is behind the Dynasty Club, and even the top families are rarely able to know the forces behind the Dynasty, maybe the Ministry of Supervision knows it, or maybe it doesn't know.
An Xiaoyu only remembered to understand the background knowledge of the dynasty at this time, and couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at the club that had been uploaded on the Internet.
What kind of people are behind the dynasty, An Xiaoyu is not interested at all.
The forces of the imperial capital are intertwined, even light and darkness are often entangled, if you are serious, you will lose, and you will lose completely.
Putting down the terminal, An Xiaoyu looked at the decoration in the box, which was more exquisite than the box prepared when An Xing took them here that night, but because An Xiaoyu said that there were only two people, and there was no need to eat, the noodle base was relatively small and there was no kitchen.
In addition, the other facilities in the house and some expensive drinks, are still very complete.
An Xiaoyu casually picked up a bottle of wine on the coffee table, looked at the factory information, and couldn't understand what the reputation of these wines was. But since it is placed on the table of the dynasty, it must be a famous wine. So An Xiaoyu poured a glass, followed the example of the people on TV, picked up the cup and shook it twice, and took a sip pretendically.
"Poof!" An Xiaoyu almost vomited.
The last time I came here, in order to take care of the girls, the drinks prepared by An Xing were sparkling water and juice, and when I was at the party in Donghuang, An Xiaoyu drank just ordinary beer, but what the hell is this wine now?
An Xiaoyu felt that the taste was strange, like an unripe lemon and crushed grape cores chewing together, and it was so bad to drink.
Putting down the glass, An Xiaoyu gasped and put the bottle of wine far away, not understanding why those people liked to drink this kind of thing. The life of a rich person is really incomprehensible.
When An Xiaoyu rinsed her mouth and the taste in her mouth was completely washed away, there was a knock on the door of the box. An Xiaoyu knew that it was a celebrity who came.
"Please come in."
A uniformed waiter opened the door, followed by a man in a trench coat.
Let the man in the trench coat into the house, the waiter nodded to An Xiaoyu, closed the door and left.
After Baume & Mercier entered the room, he was shocked by the luxurious decoration inside, and was dazzled by the various utensils, drinks and carved crystal lamps prepared next to him, and then he saw An Xiaoyu sitting on the sofa, who was the student who came out of the East Wilderness in his information.
Without the slightest hesitation, Baume & Mercier walked to the opposite side of An Xiaoyu, sat on the sofa, reached out and took out a professional recording box from the breast pocket inside his clothes, pressed the recording button, and asked An Xiaoyu with a smile: "Don't you mind if I record?" ”
An Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You don't mind." ”
Baume & Mercier finds it inexplicable, what do I mind if I record it myself?
put the recording box on the coffee table, and Baume & Mercier began to say a lot of An Xiaoyu, and An Xiaoyu also looked at the famous person.
This man looks very old, at least his appearance is older than his age, but his mental state and physical condition are not bad, looking at the body inside the windbreaker, An Xiaoyu can feel the power emanating from a strong body.
It seems that as a senior whistleblower reporter, in order to deal with those opponents and those to target, Baume & Mercier has exercised himself. And he was once chased and killed, and he was able to escape, and he was really a person with some ability.
An Xiaoyu didn't wait for the celebrity to speak first, and the voice was the first to speak: "The Three Thousand Academy has nothing to say about the continuous violent death case, because there is a certain first-order family behind this matter. It is likely that the lost corpse fell into the hands of a human testing organization that controlled a certain number of practitioners......"
After quickly saying these two sentences, An Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at the celebrity who was hurriedly pressing the stop button of the recording box, and smiled like a poisonous snake: "Do you mind?" ”
Baume & Mercier certainly minds.
If An Xiaoyu said these words and people knew that he had recorded the sound, I am afraid that he would lose his personal freedom the next day. Originally, the celebrity was just just in case, but he didn't expect An Xiaoyu to open his mouth to be such a shocking thing.
As a result, before he had time to break out in a cold sweat, An Xiaoyu sat opposite and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you want to record, no one will touch you with me." ”
Looking at the eyes of the celebrity, An Xiaoyu said, "I am the seventeenth lady of the second An family, do you understand?" ”
The celebrity was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly. He finally understood that what a so-called online fighter, what a well-known reporter, what an associate editor-in-chief, he is still a small person after all. I can't even find out the details of a student, what kind of celebrity is it?
"So, what are you looking for me here for?" Baume & Mercier began to take An Xiaoyu seriously.
Seeing the change in his attitude, An Xiaoyu didn't set up a dragon gate formation with him anymore, and said directly: "There are two main things to come to you today. ”
"The first thing is to tell you to stop spying on me, otherwise your drones and the people you sent out will have to be dealt with by me. As for the two rental houses, I happen to be very interested, and if there are any clues and changes in the future, I will tell you directly. ”
"The second thing is about the tragic events that happened before, and the missing bodies that you investigated. I need you to continue to follow up and investigate, I will solve it on the side of the family, you can follow up on the clues of the people, you can find me if you have any problems, and I will provide you with convenience. ”
Baume & Mercier thought about it and was very strange: "Since you are from the family, why don't you let the people of the An family investigate?" Also, the family is in the same spirit, blocking these news is definitely not just the credit of the family, why are you investigating these things? ”
An Xiaoyu explained: "Although I am a member of a family, I am a person from a family of cultivators, and the family of cultivators wants to come and don't care about worldly things, but I am just the righteous daughter of the An family, so I am not familiar with the people of the An family, and I only have some rights to call." ”
"And you've been following and investigating for so many years, and you definitely have some experience, it's just that you've been marginalized. I really came out of the wilderness, and I just think you are more reliable when I cooperate with you. Those people in the family, you know, don't know when the news will leak. ”
"As for why I am investigating these things, I can only say that the black hand behind this matter has something to do with me. But who is behind it, I just have a guess, and I'm not sure. But I can tell you, if you knew, you wouldn't live long. ”
Baume & Mercier shuddered, not doubting An Xiaoyu's words at all.
Or from the moment he entered the Dynasty Club, Baume & Mercier never thought of doubting An Xiaoyu's words. Being able to enter the dynasty has already shown the particularity of An Xiaoyu, even if she is just the righteous daughter of the An family, there must be a deeper reason why the An family regards her as a righteous daughter.
Coming out of the Dynasty Club, Baume & Mercier stood at the door of the club and breathed a long sigh of relief, not only did he not have the nervousness he had just now, but he even suddenly felt some excitement.
How many years have I been, I have been engaged in online journalism for 20 years, and now I am just an associate editor-in-chief, doing the same work every day, or occasionally having some bizarre sesame cases for him to investigate.
He also once thought about when such a day would come to an end. He hopes to be like when he was younger, to track down all kinds of things, to find the truth behind them, and to reveal the unknown facts.
However, his career as a journalist fell in that investigation and he never recovered.
For many years, the serial accidental deaths in the girls' apartment have become a sore spot in Baume & Mercier's entire career. There is no way to solve it, there is no way to report, and even the investigation can only be secretly investigated. After so many years of investigation, only the same helpless result can be obtained.
Even the investigation report written by himself can only be placed in the section of urban gossip, which is regarded as a fantasy novel by everyone.
From that time on, Baume & Mercier began to wonder, what is the meaning of being a journalist? If you can't reveal the truth of the matter in front of everyone, what is your work and life for?
His heart began to be confused, the young edges and corners began to be smoothed, relying on years of experience and accumulated popularity, he became the deputy editor-in-chief of a large website with a considerable salary. It can be said that among people of this age, his achievements are already quite good.
But why?
He asked himself countless times why, since when did he lose interest in everything. I don't want to make friends, I don't want to travel, I don't want to take pictures, I don't want to write, I don't want to fall in love, I don't want to see this gray world.
A golden man in his forties, with a mature face and a muscular body, but still single?
Many people in the company even went viral and rumored that there was some incurable disease in his body, but he himself didn't care at all. All he wants, the truth, that's all.
And now, after many years, someone finally told him, you continue to investigate, and I will solve the rest of the problems.
Baume & Mercier realized that the young heart he thought he had lost was still hidden in his chest. Looking at the traffic in front of the club, looking at the pedestrians hurrying by, and looking at the clear sky of the imperial capital, Baume & Mercier felt that the world was finally full of dreams and hopes again.
An Xiaoyu stood at the window, looking at the departing celebrities, but what she was thinking about was not about these violent deaths.
Baume & Mercier is certainly a talent, and he is also very experienced in investigating these cases, and he will inevitably investigate the matter clearly in time, but after all, it will take time after all. There is another reason why An Xiaoyu called the celebrity to come over.
After the celebrity left the dynasty club, An Xiaoyu also hurried out of his room, put on a black hooded cloak with his gloves, and took advantage of the night that began to darken, went out of the back door of the dynasty into the street, and fell far behind the celebrity.
She didn't approach, but was far away, using her feelings to lock down the whereabouts of the celebrity, as well as the actions of some other people around him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Baume & Mercier to start having a few more tails behind him.
Keeping tracking on the edge, An Xiaoyu observed these tails, and directly called the cultivator in charge of patrolling this part of the An family.
When the celebrity walked to the mouth of the remote alley, An Xiaoyu stood on the top of the high building, watched a few people rush out of the alley, covered the mouth of the celebrity, and dragged him directly into the alley.
Immediately afterwards, several martial arts cultivators of the An family fell from the sky and beat the captives to the ground, and the celebrities left in a hurry after thanking them, and the martial arts of the An family did not chase and beat hard, but only gave An Xiaoyu a reply call and continued to patrol.
In their opinion, this was just a simple conflict incident that An Xiaoyu encountered by chance, since An Xiaoyu just ordered them to drive people away, after they were done, they just continued their work.
And An Xiaoyu hung up the phone and stood on the top of the towering building, the night wind blowing the black cloak on her body, hunting in the moonlight. A sly smile appeared under the hood, and An Xiaoyu's faint voice sounded in the wind:
"Now, let me see where you're going!"
