Chapter 10: The Ember Rekindles

"As you know, I almost caught them. ”

In some small rooms, the two sat staring at each other, Lorenzo wrapped in clothes, explaining everything about the day.

"Apparently some people didn't want us to look into this, they tried to destroy the corpses, and even said that there would be no living mouths, and I could have grabbed at least three of them and brought them back for torture, but they were all killed. ”

The gunman who served as insurance, he was always on the front, shooting everyone who fell behind.

"Shrike, unlike the thugs we've met before, they have a very strict internal structure...... This is not something that a gang that relies on interests can do it. ”

There was a rare slight distress under the half of the mask, and he did know a lot about it.

"Most of the people in the lower city are grass on the wall, and whoever is strong and obeys whom, in order to survive, can even sell their relatives. ”

Shrike said slowly, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"But those people aren't afraid of death, are they? The people of the lower city are not so noble and fearless. ”

His gaze turned to Lorenzo, who was expecting the surprise that the detective would give him.

"So did you find any clues? I'm sure you're not going to go back in vain. ”

Lorenzo nodded, and then said.

"The people in the lower city got the news in advance...... Or maybe that's part of their plan, if the operation fails, they'll sneak into the lower town, and the gangsters need to show up at this time to cover for them. ”

"Shrike, you know how strong this group of people is about territory, territory in the lower city represents wealth, so that group of gangsters can only come from the local area, I need to know who is in charge of that area. ”

"Saab. ”

The shrike was the master of the lower town, and he thought for a moment who the people there were.

"Sabo, a Viking from the Northern Seas......"

Shrike's thoughts stopped, which coincided with Wall's origins.

"Do you think the goods were taken by Saab?"

"It won't be him, he's just a guy who eats under you, and he doesn't have access to your level of business at all. ”

Lorenzo directly dismissed the idea.

"He's just a smoke bomb, and he's paid for his cover, and as long as it's worth a decent price, I'm sure he'll do it. ”

"Then what are you going to do, Lorenzo Holmes. ”

Shrike rubbed his chin lightly, and he began to find things interesting.

"It's simple, find him, put a gun to his head, ask him who made him do this, pull the trigger without saying anything, until he says it. ”

Lorenzo's voice didn't fluctuate, just like he normally spoke, but the ferocity contained in it was terrifying.

"You're going to kill him. ”

"Shrike, I have taken classes at the Wang Li Medical College, and although I don't understand the esoteric, I still know how to avoid fatal injuries in the human body. ”

Picking up the gun next to him, Lorenzo tried back and forth on his body.

"You should also go to class, learn to live to be old, this kind of shooting to avoid fatal injuries is very suitable for feigning death. ”

Lorenzo's face was serious, this unserious person was rarely serious.

Shrike didn't know what to say for a while, he felt that Lorenzo was a very peculiar person, really peculiar.

For a long time, Berau sent people to follow the great detective, after all, he was too curious about Lorenzo's past, and most of the results that could be tracked were very boring.

When he had a job, Lorenzo would be very diligent in investigating and solving crimes, and when he was not working, he would take a steam tram to various universities to attend classes, and he had been at the Royal Academy of Art for a long time, which made Beroe think that the great detective was going to change careers to become an actor.

The result of the fact is that he only learned acting to better solve the case, and as part of his graduation exam, he infiltrated the side of the shrike.

Lorenzo Holmes was a genius, and without any sound, no one noticed him, he was so swaggering in a black and white dress, carrying a wine tray and blending into the shrike casino, and personally shuffling the cards of a table of guests as a dealer.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to signal to the shrike, the shrike would not have noticed that the great detective was so close to him unconsciously, it was just that he wanted to test his acting ability, but what if he had a knife in his hand?

No one knows how many skills Lorenzo will have, but it is certain that he must have put them to use as a detective.

Isn't it good to have the talent to do something else?

"You're just going to find Sabo single-handedly?"

It's not that Shrike doesn't trust Lorenzo's abilities, he's strong, and the shotgun fires hard, but it's still a little powerless to face a gang directly.

"Yes, but I have my own way, and even if I can't do it, you can't help me, can you? ”

Shrike nodded, he can become the master of the lower city by moving between multiple forces, a duke is not enough to make him fall from the throne, but it can shake his rule, in the end, the lower city is just a garbage can, compared to those who really hold the power, the shrike is still much worse.

"Take it, take it, and you are my messenger. ”

As he spoke, Shrike threw out his revolver, the weapon he used to threaten Lorenzo.

"Saab knows this gun, and when he sees it, he understands what's going on. ”

The lower city is more complicated than everyone thinks, and the shrike is the leader of it, but he is only leading a group of rabble, everyone is here for profit, and the shrike is the regulator of interests because his fist is the largest.

Now that Lorenzo had an idea in his mind, Shrike was much more relieved, and it seemed that he got up and prepared to leave.

"Good night then, Mr. Holmes. ”

The door slowly closed, and the uninvited guest finally left.

Lorenzo looked out the window, wiping the moisture off the glass, and the dark carriage blended into the night, and finally disappeared from Lorenzo's sight.

Witnessing the departure of the shrike, Lorenzo tightened the curtains, then put on his pajamas to completely hide the black tattoo.

Lorenzo had the confidence to infiltrate Sabo, but he didn't have the confidence to escape from a group of angry bandits, but as Berau thought, Lorenzo was a genius and he would never miss any opportunity to take advantage of.

He took out the thing that he had been hiding from his trench coat, and by the light, the sparkling light of the ruby on the necklace was blurred and beautiful.

This is no longer a luxury object that can be described, the quality is perfect, the interior seems to contain blood, the beauty is amazing, the edges are silver decorative inlays, and of course the most important thing is the text engraved on the back.

"The embers rekindled. ”

Lorenzo whispered, and as the words whispered, the ruby in his hand seemed to come to life, exuding the warmth of life.

It was Eve's necklace, and Lorenzo ripped it off as the girl ran wildly, but fortunately, the situation was critical, and the girl didn't realize it at all.

The embers rekindled.

This is a noble family proverb, Lorenzo carefully recalled the knowledge he had accumulated over the years in the old Dunling, and quickly determined his goal, and then his heart was slightly shocked, as if he did not expect this to be the case.

Washal wasn't Eve's last name, it was supposed to be her mother's, and she was just using it to disguise her true identity, otherwise her superiors would at least send her a squad of mounted police when they saw her last name.

Eve Phoenix.

This is her true name, the heir of the noble Immortal Bird family.

Thinking of this, Lorenzo suddenly laughed, normal people usually scared to death when they took the immortal bird family, but when he came to Lorenzo, he laughed instead.

Eve's true identity was a surprise, he initially held the necklace just to use Eve in the follow-up, after all, this thing seemed to be important to the girl, and in order to investigate the goods, he needed an eyeliner in Suaran Hall, an eyeliner that belonged only to him.

Lorenzo was still wondering how to dig up the information he wanted from Sabo, but now everything was fine.

The situation changed, a brand new plan appeared in Lorenzo's mind, from planning to implementation, in just a few minutes, in his mind he had already killed a few back and forth in the lower city, everything was pointing to the right point, Lorenzo would get what he wanted.

Meanwhile, in the far suburbs, in the duke's manor, the girl had just finished bathing, and was staring out the window in her bathrobe.

Today was not a good day, she experienced the first case in her life, but also received the first punishment, Officer Pres was very dissatisfied with Eve's rash action, so she received a leave of absence on the first day of work.

Although there is some unhappiness in my heart, the excitement of detective is real, and the whole boring life is boiling a little, new life, new experiences, and meeting some special people...... Eve did her best to describe her encounter with Lorenzo as "getting acquainted".

The hand habitually touched the neck, but the familiar warmth was no longer there, and it felt empty.

The girl's expression was suddenly startled, and then she panicked, and now she realized that her precious necklace was missing.

Where was it lost?

She tried her best to think, but in the end it was a blank slate, and she couldn't remember anything.
