Chapter VII: Reasoning for Fraud

The twilight of the old Dunling was not pretty, the sky was gloomy and endless steam formed a hazy dome that obscured everything, the afterglow of the sun could not penetrate the layers of gloom, and finally only a vague red tide could be seen, like a rain of fire descending on the world.

Led Zeppelin swam slowly in the clouds like a giant whale, and only the dark shadow that seemed to come out of mythology could be seen on the ground.

Lorenzo sat comfortably in the driver's seat, and the group of suspects disappeared from view as soon as he changed the route of the steam tram.

"Detective, actually, we can cooperate. ”

Regardless of the situation of Eve behind him, Lorenzo said against the wind.

"Our purpose is all those people, as long as we catch them, we will have that precious clue, as for the rest of the later, what do you think?"

Eve thought for a moment, and in the bump, she chose to put down the gun in her hand, although the contact time was not long, but in this short time, Lorenzo gave her an amazing feeling.

She's never seen anything like it...... A calm person, as if everything is under his control, deep and powerful.

"So are you agreeing to the proposal now?"

Lorenzo had a mysterious look in his eyes, as if some hidden conspiracy was being conceived beneath the gray blue.

"Lorenzo Holmes. ”

A name is the first step to trust.

Eve hesitantly held out her hand, but just as she was about to say her name, Lorenzo withdrew her hand.

"Eve Voshal, I know your name. ”

"How could you?"

Eve's heart immediately became vigilant again, and she began to regret her brief alliance.

"I'm a detective, and this thing is simple. Lorenzo's gaze swept over her.

"Brand new uniform, neat clothes, at first glance, I look like a newcomer who has just arrived at the police station to report...... You should really look at the state of your colleagues most of the time, they are simply drunks, and people like you are out of place among them. ”

It's like looking at an object, Lorenzo applauded.

"Motivated, passionate, jealous, you are a typical graduate, full of fantasies about the world, you love this profession and you are eager to do something. ”

Lorenzo shook his head in annoyance.

"Another child who has been misled by the flashy news, this line of work is not as simple as you think, but it is not a world where you say raise your hand and the prisoner will obediently raise your hand, the timid will turn around and run, and the bold will give you a shot before you can finish speaking. ”

His words were fierce and precise, at least to Eve's ears, but she was a little angry, as if her secret had been revealed, exposed to the sun.

"You're still a nobleman, as you can tell from your necklace. ”

Lorenzo pointed to Eve's smooth neck, the silver necklace tied to a ruby the size of a fingernail, which was supposed to be hidden under her clothes but fell out in the violent impact.

"This is not something that ordinary nobles can afford...... You know what? The rookie list of the police force is usually marked, and they will give preferential treatment to those nobles, in case this group of sons and brothers accidentally die, you can take a look at it when you go back, and this list is also very good, and it is posted on your bulletin board. ”

Lorenzo smiled, and in Eve's eyes he became incomparably mysterious and powerful.

"You...... How do you know about the police station?"

Su Yalan Hall is not easy for anyone to enter, Eve can't figure it out.

"My poor nephew died this morning, so I can always report the case, right?" Lorenzo smiled.

Whether it's the Sualan Hall or the City Hall, Lorenzo is never afraid to enter because of that head, as long as there is the right reason, these are places that ordinary people can set foot in.

"There are only a few boys who are marked, and there is only one girl among them, I guess that person is you, right? ”

"Eve Voshal. ”

Eve was completely shocked by Lorenzo's words, and Lorenzo was very satisfied with her somewhat frightened look.

Lorenzo Holmes, he's just a second-rate detective who is good at deception, this is his evaluation of himself, there is no so-called super intelligence in this world, and even if there is, he shouldn't be a detective, but he was locked up to death by the group of madmen in the mechanical institute.

A brain that can drive the development of the world's tech tree is used to fight criminals? It's too big to overkill.

The most perfect deception should be combined with the truth, he will not tell Eve that this unlucky child also fell out of the police card in the impact just now, which recorded her information in detail at the police station, and he will not tell her that in order to facilitate the business of the shrike in the lower city, the Suaran hall has long hidden the eyeliner of the shriek, and any movement of people will be reported to the terrible butcher bird at nightfall.

The real result is paired with the mystical reasoning, which is what Lorenzo has been doing, even if it is full of loopholes, but before the real result, they can only believe that it is like a mathematical formula, as long as the derivation is correct, no matter how outrageous the answer is, but it must be correct.

"Can you trust me to be a detective now?"

Lorenzo smiled at the hallmark and everything was in control.

......

"Where are we going now?"

Although on the same front for the time being, Eve still did not let her guard down.

"On the blocked road, their purpose is to go downtown, and there are many routes to get there quickly, but there is only one intersection that allows them to pass quickly. ”

In order to control the chaotic lower town, the old Dunling was separated by tall houses and walls, leaving only a few wide intersections for easy guarding.

Even if you don't have to go through the intersection to get to the lower city, they have already opened the tunnel between the buildings for the sake of profit, but now the group of people on horseback can only pass through the intersection quickly.

Not only were they chased by Lorenzo, but the mounted police of the Suaran Hall had probably already caught up with them, and a fierce shootout broke out along the way.

"How can you be sure we'll catch up?"

Eve didn't understand, only to see Lorenzo point upward, it was the wiring diagram hanging on the cab.

"You should be concerned about the daily news...... For example, the lower city will also be included in the operation of Iron Snake. ”

Lorenzo's habit was to read the newspaper and visit the town hall once a week to see if there were any new regulations or anything like that.

This habit was developed in a movie in his dream, where the Earth was blown up to build the Cosmic Highway because he didn't go to the Galactic City Hall in time to read the ordinances...... A story full of black humor.

Well, forget about the old dreams and look at the present.

A few months ago, Old Dunling decided to extend the Iron Serpent to the Lower Town, and Lorenzo speculated that some higher-ups were trying to do something about the Lower Town, just as it had been a long time ago.

As long as the railroad tracks are spread out in the lower city and the old armored iron snake is online, the old Dunling can clean up the filth of the lower city at any time, but unfortunately this operation failed as soon as it was launched.

The railroad tracks did unfold in the lower town, but not a single Iron Serpent could get into it, and the outlaws were more united than anyone could have imagined, and the operation was soon stopped, and the railroad line became a road for the gangs to transport goods, and the economy of the black market skyrocketed a lot, as I remember at that time.

"Although it failed, the railroad tracks in the lower city are connected to the outer city, but no one dares to drive there!"

Based on the map in his head overlapping with the wiring map in the cab, Lorenzo was able to stop them, just outside the downtown.

......

The team hurried forward, and this time the operation happened more than they could have imagined, just as Lorenzo said, the mounted police of the Suaran Hall had caught up with them, and the piercing whistles kept echoing, like the death knell before the end.

Although the situation is critical, the lower city is at the moment, and even Sualan Hall will feel tricky as long as you get there, and once you get there, this bad day will be over.

In fact, it was already half dark at this moment, and only the red clouds on the horizon were still releasing the last shimmers.

This is the gap between the old Dunling, the day is coming to an end, and the night is not yet coming.

A cool breeze blows, and the steam reverberates back and forth.

It was about to arrive, but at that moment there was a roar, and the whole street began to tremble slightly, and then the steel serpent smashed through the fog.

"Finally catching up with you!"

The fog is torn, and the great detective makes his debut.

Lorenzo stood in the cab and set up Winchester, firing mercilessly, along with the mounted police in the rear, who also saw Lorenzo as one of the enemies, and there were several bullet holes in the compartment after the gunfire was fired.

It's almost there!

They thought so to themselves, but then the Iron Serpent sped up behind them.

Gunshots and explosions, vision became confused, and the ears were filled with the violent impact and the howls of the crowd, and everything rolled with warm blood.

The Iron Snake has gone off the rails.

The first thing the gang did after the railroad tracks were built was to cut the railroad tracks in the lower city from the outer city, and the route was indeed direct, but it was broken.

The iron serpent kept rolling against the enemy, and at last it was like a large lump of rotten iron, and the blood on the ground was dragged for a long time, and those who were not yet dead let out a feeble wail.

Eve's head ached, as if it was about to fall apart, and at the last moment she was thrown out, her vision blurred by tears of pain, she struggled to her feet, and then saw the dark figure beneath the cloud of fire.

Lorenzo held his shotgun in one hand and his staff in the other, not far from the remains of the Iron Serpent, stepping on a man who was not yet dead.

"Looks like you're the only one left, friend. ”

The muzzle of the black hole drooped, and no one knew if Lorenzo would shoot suddenly.

"I'm not going to say anything. ”

The man said calmly, not caring that death was approaching.

"Oh?"

Lorenzo smiled, he was best at dealing with these strong-minded people, but when he was about to say something, the skull under his feet exploded...... He's dead.

The smile froze, and the wounded figure looked ahead, under the old building, and gave Lorenzo a dead look, took the muzzle of the gun that was still emitting white smoke under his clothes, and then turned to leave.

It was the one who served as the insurer, and he lived to the end.

This time Lorenzo was really angry, but as soon as he lifted his footsteps, he stopped, and now more people walked out of his surroundings, holding guns and swords, and the momentum was menacing.

As if suddenly realizing something, Lorenzo turned around, and the bustling city was a hundred meters away, and the mounted police stood in a neat row, their guns pointing upward, like an iron curtain separating the luxurious from the dirty, watching all this coldly.

Lorenzo stepped into the lower city, and the iron snake rolled and crushed the enemy, but also reached the lower city in the onslaught.

More gangsters came out, sprinkled like a sea of people.

Now there was no way back, and if you were going backwards, you would be arrested by the mounted police, and if you were going forward, you would be hacked to death, and just when Lorenzo was at a loss, another shot rang out.

Eve held the handle of the gun in horror, and in front of her was a thug who had been knocked out by a shot, and seemed to notice Lorenzo's gaze, and she explained in a little panic.

He ...... He's going to do it to me first!"

The situation was a little awkward, and before Lorenzo could say anything, the crowd pressed up.
