Chapter Seventy-Two: Abandonment

Aside from helping Williams thank Mrs. Hand, Bill didn't know what to say, perhaps because he was a cold man himself.

But though it was not clear that Mrs. Hand and Williams had any apparent emotional connection, he did make a kind and beautiful lady cry at the moment.

This makes Bill feel that the world is actually closely connected to Williams, and that he can never just be 'Bill' wearing a human skin named Williams Cliff.

But Bill was relieved, he just saw through it.

Riding slowly in the carriage, Mrs. Hand's cake was delicious, with a thick layer of creamy and mellow sweetness, even more delicious than the high-end dim sum at Barclays Trust Bank.

......

The wheels creaked across the sandy road, and Bill left the address of his new home to Mrs. Hand, and did not rush back to the villa, but first bought some groceries in the town of Whitbit and hired some older women to clean the villa.

May is the season when plants grow wildly, the front and back gardens are overgrown with weeds, and the villa area is very large, and there are many places that need to be tidied up.

Brittus Furniture Store arrived on time for a batch of furniture, and they hurriedly unloaded the solid wood furniture in a brand new steam wagon and moved into the villa under their command.

"Be careful when moving things, and never knock on the corner of the table!"

"Big sister, let me go, don't accidentally bump into you!"

"Who is in the hands of the manifest, come and ...... acceptance?"

The furniture entered the villa one by one, but Bill had little interest in the things, and he was standing in the courtyard, his eyes drawn to the tall and handsome steam wagon.

The truck is 9.6 meters long, with bright red paint throughout, four large wheels in front and rear, and a black and yellow steam pipe standing in front of the front of the car, angrily emitting white steam, which looks full of power.

"Cut, sure enough, it's still a steam car, and the carriage isn't cool at all. ”

"The government has opened up the right to use and sell steam cars, and I should buy a car. ”

Bill has a clear goal and is ready to move.

But there are three important things at the moment, hurry up and visit the editor-in-chief Thomas, open the iron box to figure out what is inside, and head to the North End.

The purpose of going to the North District is twofold, to find Lao Wei to check the old-fashioned pocket watch, to find the killer organization middleman, and to try to get clues to buy the murderer.

Bill could clearly feel that as the turmoil of the Norman Revolution gradually subsided, whenever he appeared on the streets of Brittus, there would always be a very unfriendly gaze sweeping over him.

There are also sympathetic or sarcastic glances from members of the Brotherhood.

But the lurkers didn't rush it, and probably guessed that the last killer was quietly killed by Bill, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

But these three things should be done in order, starting with the easiest.

"Mr. Cliff, all the furniture has been shipped to the villa for you, do you need anything else?"

"If there is nothing else, we will go back first, if there is any quality problem with the furniture, you are welcome to contact us at any time. ”

"Well, good. ”

The furniture porter quickly finishes his task and politely bids Bill farewell, and the maid who cleans up also finishes her work before dark and happily returns home with her pay.

The lively and busy villa instantly returned to desertion, and a round of enchanting purple moon hanged.

In the dead of night, owls and insects chirp one after another, and a bottle of Reserve Champagne is opened and poured into the goblet, and the bubbles instantly overflow the glass.

The fireplace was burning, stretching the figure, and Bill didn't feel alone, for Bill was accompanied by shadows and eerie laughter from the top of the mountain.

"Hehe, although I don't know you yet, thank you for accompanying me. ”

"Maybe one day we can become real neighbors. ”

"Cheers!"

......

When Hansen and the newspaper staff visited Thomas's editor-in-chief's home, it happened to be a cloudy day, the sky was gray, and there was a murderous motive hidden under the dark clouds.

The bad stare was evident from Bill's appearance in Brittus City, and the killers did not follow out of the city for the time being, probably fearing being ambushed.

Today, though, they've come to a consensus that the tracker is constantly changing, and they're presumably going to keep an eye on Bill around the clock to find out the best time to do it.

Walking with Hansen and the others, he was still trying to think of countermeasures in addition to being vigilant at all times, but Hansen and the new editorial staff interrupted his train of thought.

They're talking about Thomas's editor-in-chief.

"Hansen is in charge of the editor, how could Thomas suddenly become seriously ill, he has never taken time off to rest at home before. ”

"This ......"

"I can't say for sure the reason for the illness, maybe it's because of your age, don't guess, and don't talk nonsense when you see Thomas in a while. ”

Hansen asked the employee with his fist a critical blow on the head, and the employee rubbed his head and quickly nodded in agreement.

But even so, there were still all kinds of whispers in the team of more than a dozen people, and there was still a lot of speculation among the employees about the sudden serious illness of the editor-in-chief Thomas.

"Well, have you heard, the editor-in-chief Thomas is the patron of this revolutionary faction and one of the founders of this revolutionary party, the New Party. ”

"It can't be true, where did you hear this kind of exciting news, how can it be related to the Spring Revolution that Editor-in-Chief Thomas handles submissions in his office every day?"

As a newspaper employee, after someone said a gossip, the people next to him immediately gathered around, full of interest.

The gossip employee saw Hansen walking in the front and didn't pay attention to what was happening behind him, so he dared to whisper.

"Of course it's true, my dad used to follow the editor-in-chief Thomas, they were all members of the New Party, and the revolution nineteen years ago was organized by the editor-in-chief and like-minded people!"

"Yes, it turns out that Thomas's editor-in-chief is so powerful!"

"I also heard that the editor-in-chief Thomas had a beautiful exotic woman who he loved deeply, and it was only when the editor-in-chief Thomas joined the revolution that he missed love. ”

"Oh, oh, oh, no wonder Editor-in-Chief Thomas is almost sixty years old and still single, he is obviously so rich. ”

"Editor-in-chief Thomas is so affectionate, if it is written in the book, it must be a touching story!"

Walking down the spacious streets of the central block, young employees chattered and Bill followed them unhurriedly, hearing the same stories.

"But what do you say all this has to do with Thomas's sudden illness, is it because after the success of the revolution, he reminisced about the past and became ill?"

“...... No, that's not the case. ”

"I heard my father say that after the success of this revolution, the editor-in-chief Thomas seems to have been abandoned by the New Party......"

The speech was quieter, and the gossip provider felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and secretly looked in the direction of Hansen, and swallowed softly.

Most people, if they keep secrets in their hearts, they will become eager to express themselves, like a feather gently plucking in their hearts, and every time they jump, they itch unbearably.

Originally, Dad and Thomas were gay employees, and they only wanted to share the editor-in-chief's emotional gossip with their colleagues, and they didn't intend to expose the bloody scars.

However, there is a lot of talk as it goes, and leakers usually do the same.

Fortunately, the newspaper staff instantly understood the meaning of the words and stopped asking, after all, no one wants to be the one with the lowest emotional intelligence......
