Chapter 106. knight-errant
Is it compensated?
Zhou Jinru looked at Chen Hong's fluttering cheeks, just wearing a coat, and the thin lady's shirt couldn't hide his proud figure, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Okay," said Zhou Jinru, "that little girl promised me some exciting tricks." ”
"Really?"
The black coat slipped off Chen's shoulders, her hands swam from the man's chest to her arms, and her beautiful face drew closer and closer, and she could almost feel a burning snort.
Suddenly, Chen grabbed Zhou Jinru's hand violently and controlled him in the chair, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth gradually evolved into a mocking sneer:
"How dare you say anything about that Carters girl in front of me! Even if I'm your girlfriend, you're too scumbag, what are you doing in the clubhouse when you have nothing to do, and you're looking for such a small girl, it's too much, don't you have a girlfriend?! ”
Zhou Jinru didn't know how to resist for a while, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ah Chen, you are fishing for law enforcement, you are foul!" ”
"I'm no longer the head of the police station, and I'm not fishing law enforcement!"
Chen said viciously.
"It hurts, it hurts, it's going to be wasted......"
Zhou Jinru shouted, Chen Yuxin couldn't bear it, let go of his hand angrily, tugged at his tie again, and raised his chin: "Hey, don't go to those places in the future, do you hear it?" ”
"I didn't go on my own."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jinru said about the encounter with Adella and Liang Chao in the Western Region, Chen frowned when he heard it, subconsciously bit his index finger, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, on the red stage, there is indeed a genuine royal agent, that is, Liang Chao, who is sitting opposite Zhou Jinru.
"We can think of it the other way around, where the demonstrations in the Eastern Region paralyzed half of the city, schools were closed, factories went on strike, and even some stores were afraid to open, and Lentinium reacted negatively."
Chen blinked: "You say this is a kind of connivance? ”
"If they want to perish, they must be mad, and if the dynamite packs are ignited, the fate that awaits them will be the king's army, and all the chieftains will be hanged on the boom."
"But ......"
Chen couldn't understand, from her point of view, why she did this, let the pain spread, let the seeds of hatred be buried deeply, and the thunderous means could not solve the fundamental trouble, but only postponed the bigger contradictions, until one day they were completely detonated and the country was blown up into the sky.
"It's not just that you can't figure it out, I can't figure it out either."
Zhou Jinru untied his tie, he didn't want to be dragged by Chen anymore, and there was another thing in his mind, if the leader behind the parade was a rather restrained person or organization, with the means and strength to restrain the citizens participating in the parade, did not challenge the existing order of Lentinium, and did not cause a bad impact, then the king in the depths of the palace would inevitably choose to compromise, and a sovereign state could not tolerate a prolonged riot in the capital.
This is just a conjecture, and the reason for the design to dismiss Chen is because she can't do things behind her back.
"Ah Chen."
"What for?"
Zhou Jinru smiled mysteriously, making Chen want to punch him in the face.
"Ah Chen, let's play a role-playing game."
What tricks does he want to play?
Chen didn't speak, quietly looking at the man in front of him, it always makes people feel at ease to have him in a place.
Zhou Jinru didn't sell it, and directly revealed the answer: "Playing a pair of heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, just like those chivalrous comic strips you have seen." ”
Knight-errant?
Chen's face turned red, she clearly hadn't told anyone else, why did he know?
……
……
It's exciting to play a chivalrous person, at least that's what Chen thinks, she's ready to wear a black coat and a rough animal mask.
"Where are we going?"
Zhou Jinru is wiping a short knife, this thing can be used as a melee self-defense weapon, and can also be used as a close-range projection prop, which can be described as inexpensive and quite easy to use, but his approach is very unchivalrous, Chen strongly opposes this, but unfortunately Zhou Jinru has no intention of listening.
"Where you fall, go to the man who digs the pit."
There is no doubt that his target is Count West, who is on vacation today, as soon as he thinks of the picture he saw outside the private room, Zhou Jinru hates this kind of behavior, but in this world, money and power can settle most of the troubles, and even do what you like.
Sting.
Torn strips of cloth tied the cuffs of the garment tightly, gloves were on, and a Nightkin was done preparing for his departure.
"What's your weapon?"
Zhou Jinru found that Chen was not carrying a weapon, and he didn't know if she was very confident in her own strength, or if she was prepared otherwise.
Chen shook his head: "I don't use weapons, didn't you say that even if I don't use a knife, I can use a knife." ”
Zhou Jinru: "?! ”
He just said politely at the time, he didn't expect Chen Zhen to be so strong, so what else to prepare, just let her draw the knife.
By the time they went out, there was already a car waiting, Chen lifted the curtain, saw the person sitting inside, turned his head to stare at Zhou Jinru, and wondered: "Why is she?" ”
"Old friend, you don't seem to like seeing me? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you for being forced to take a vacation. ”
The dark green long-haired woman sitting in the carriage smiled happily, and her expression was very different from what she said.
"When you're away from home, the first person you look for is your friends."
Zhou Jinru pushed Chen into the carriage and sat beside her, not caring about Xingxiong's opinion.
Xingxiong shook his head: "I don't want to be your friend at all, my old friend works in the police station, and when I meet her, it's not because of a property dispute, or there is an accidental casualty, and I have to worry about whether she will arrest me and go to jail." ”
Since you don't want to be friends, then don't come, and I didn't invite you to come!
Xingxiong was indeed not invited by Zhou Jinru, she began to communicate with Zhou Jinru not long after Chen was dismissed, and the rhetoric was very simple, if it weren't for Chen, the Eastern Region would be even more chaotic than it is now.
Do you Longmen people love face so much...... Zhou Jinru thought in his heart, it was inconvenient for him to show his true thoughts, so he took the initiative to speak: "How is Earl West's side?" ”
"Very good, a little episode that happened on the red stage didn't disturb his interest, he hasn't gone home yet, my people are watching over there."
Chen looked dazed, saying that he was playing a chivalrous guest, and the content of the communication between these two people didn't seem to have the intention of letting her participate.
Zhou Jinru nodded: "I hope he can have fun, where is the person we are looking for?" ”
Xingxiong glanced at Chen's face, reached out and took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase beside him and handed them over: "Earl West only brought a personal valet with him when he went out, and his butler was still in the manor to take care of the day's affairs, by the way, there was a bit of ambiguity between the butler and the countess." ”
"Awesome, you play yours, I play mine."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Chen found out that she was an outsider and couldn't understand anything.
Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand and hugged her shoulder, completely ignoring the star bear opposite, and said in a low voice: "The reason why you were dismissed is because you bumped into Earl West doing good deeds, judging from the information, this earl has a considerable amount of money and political resources that many people have hoped for all their lives, and he is also very high in the parliamentary seat, right?" ”
"You're saying I'm going to ruin his positive image?"
Chen quickly figured out Zhou Jinru's subtext.
"It's just scratching the surface, we'll find something else interesting as we dig deeper, we're going to have a bit of a lot of people to visit tonight, I hope you're prepared."
The carriage began to move, and the slight jolt underneath them proved that they were on their way to their destination.
Zhou Jinru is happy to continue to analyze: "The occurrence of a contradiction, we have to look at not only the two sides of the contradiction, but also the real beneficiary, with the status of Earl West, he does not need to go to the red stage to have fun in person, as long as a phone call, there will naturally be a carriage to send what he wants into his private estate, but he still went, was it a whim?" ”
Chen shook his head slowly: "No, from what I know about Earl West, he is an old-fashioned and conservative person. ”
Xingxiong suddenly asked, "If Mr. Earl asks you to keep your mouth shut, when what is in front of you does not happen, will you agree?" ”
"No, there's no way I'm going to agree to his request, I heard screams, that shouldn't have happened, I ......"
Chen suddenly came to his senses and asked in a trembling voice, "This is the reason?!" ”
Xingxiong shook his head, his eyes filled with pity: "This is just one of them. ”
Zhou Jinru's fingers tapped lightly on the paper, and he chuckled: "So, when Count West arrived on the Red Stage, there must be a person with a high position, at least a title not lower than him, who issued an invitation, the kind that cannot be refused, this is our first goal today." ”
On the paper in his hand was the resume of a man, the butler of West Manor.
"It is impossible for the Earl of West to hide from everyone about his trip, he took away the personal valet and left the butler, and the butler and the countess have an ambiguous relationship, he must know the Earl's plan for the trip, because it is related to his personal happiness."
Zhou Jinru paused when he said this, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, attracting the attention of Chen and Xingxiong.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't see how good it would be for them."
"Who?"
"Someone from the Victorian royal family."
Chen was stunned, she never thought that the royal family would be involved, Xingxiong was also stupid, her eyes looked at the curtain next to the carriage, as if to say that it was too late to jump out of the car?
"If you want to leave, you can leave now."
After Zhou Jinru finished speaking, Xingxiong sat back again, she crossed her arms, and said coldly: "Everything is your guess, there is no evidence, nothing can be explained." ”
……
……
West Manor is located near Baker Street in the Western Region, on the west side of Chester Square, directly opposite the Speaker of Lentinium's Estate, and everything seems so calm because of the owner's absence.
"It's past six o'clock in the evening, shall we go straight in, or will we wait until late at night?"
Zhou Jinru's fingers gently rubbed the edge of the short knife, for the nobles of the Western Region, six o'clock in the evening was the time to enjoy dinner, and there was still a lot of time to spend in the evening.
"Don't wait, Chen and I enter the manor, you can go back."
Xingxiong sneered: "I'm going back, you guys have walked so far on your legs?" ”
She gave Chen a look, but she couldn't escape Zhou Jinru's eyes.
Chen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Ms. Xingxiong is right, let her stay here and wait for us." ”
"Okay."
Zhou Jinru chose to compromise, he quickly stepped out of the carriage, dressed in black, easily blended into the night, Chen followed, everything was very fresh, especially sneaking into the manor to find the real secret, which made her feel like she was in the world of comic books.
"Earl West must have a very tight control over his travel plans, and the butler may not know where he went, but he must know when he went out."
……
……
Butler Hughes touched his smooth scalp, after dinner, he was lying on the bed reading a tome, was seeing the wonderful place, suddenly, the light in front of him flickered, he subconsciously raised his head, only to see a black figure pounced up, one hand covered his mouth with a towel, and the other hand grabbed his throat, strangling the faint sound in his throat.
"Search!"
Hughes stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and saw another person emerge from the shadows, groping around the room with great ease.
It turned out to be just a robbery.
That was Hughes's first thought, and soon he stopped thinking so, and the robber in charge of searching for the money easily found the place where the money was hidden, and threw stacks of banknotes with the king's head on them into the sack.
These are two very professional robbers!
Hughes was sad and angry, but he didn't dare to make any sound, for fear that the robbers who were close at hand would kill him again.
"Almost."
The robber stretched out his hand and patted Hughes's bald head, and said coldly: "When your master went out today, did he say anything, think about it." ”
Hughes's mind went blank, what the hell did these two people do?!
A trace of unspeakable fear filled his heart, and inadvertently, tears and snot flowed out, Hughes's slightly obese body trembled, and a few hoarse words squeezed out of his throat: "Today, if you don't come back, you have to attend, Your Highness's dinner." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he only felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and the whole person lost consciousness.
"Gone."
The robber let go of his hand and said hello, and the companion in charge of searching for the money stood up straight in a daze, followed behind with the money bag, and the two disappeared into the night.
"What he said, is it all true?"
"Not lying."
Zhou Jinru squinted his eyes, as for which His Royal Highness had a dinner, it didn't really matter, the important thing was that there was really a royal family behind this matter, and the purpose of setting up a bureau was just to kick Chen out of her position?
It's incredible.
"I think there must be another reason."
Chen was a little interested: "I don't want to know now." ”
"So be it, if you want, you can donate the money, it's all yours."
