It was close to 6 p.m., and it wasn't yet completely dark.

The street lights next to the streets of the upper town have come on.

These street lamps, of course, are not electric lights, but kerosene lamps, which are two meters high.

Dedicated lamplighters are in charge of lighting and replacing them every evening, making the night in Uptown much brighter.

As for electric lights, there are actually them.

But it has not yet reached the level of entering the public domain.

Houses in Uptown, as well as some private homes in Midtown, do have electric lights to use.

For example, in the high walls of the baron's mansion, there are two lamps by the door.

Leaking through the gaps in the iron gate, even in the dark, people can see who is coming.

Needless to say, it's evening.

Xia Yanzhen stood outside the door and looked inside, and could see that outside Baron Barth's three-story villa, there were many lights, which had been turned on.

It emits a brighter light than a kerosene lamp, illuminating the surroundings.

Because both of them were wearing patrol uniforms, after the bodyguard saw it clearly, he was not worried that it was a gangster, and came out to inquire directly.

The police officer who came with Xia Yanzhen explained his intentions.

Let the bodyguard frown, and this kind of thing?

They didn't know about it, so they went to the villa alone.

It took a while to come out, followed by a middle-aged man with an arrogant and angry look.

When I saw the middle-aged man, relevant information emerged.

Xia Yan really knew that this person was the coachman from last night.

"I'm gone, you're asking for a lot of blessings." When the police officer who "escorted" Xia Yan Zhenlai saw this scene, he turned around and left, his task had been completed, but he didn't want to step into this troubled water.

Xia Yanzhen didn't care either.

"How dare you come here!"

The coachman Moore walked over and looked at Xia Yanzhen and scolded loudly.

Xia Yanzhen glanced at him twice, and suddenly smiled: "I'm here to apologize." ”

"Get out! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Mo Er couldn't help but say, he was going to push Xia Yanzhen.

Xia Yanzhen avoided one side of his body: "Aren't you the one who came to the Grand Field to complain during the day?" I'm going to apologize now, you still want to drive people out, is it a weak heart? ”

There was a lot of sarcasm in the tone.

"What nonsense!" More was furious and was about to fight with his fists.

"What to do!"

At this time, a voice came from behind, causing Moore's fist to stop in mid-air.

"Butler Bernard." Moore immediately turned around and hurried in, his temples slightly pale, and his face changed to a flattering and flattering smile as he greeted the man between the middle-aged and the elderly.

Housekeepers, in this kind of family, usually have a high status.

Many aristocrats, the degree of dependence on the butler is equivalent to the crutch of a lame man, and he can't do without it for a moment.

The older the aristocracy, the more so.

The new nobles were much better, but Baron Bart also relied heavily on Bernard's butler.

"You're the patrolman who scared the horses last night?" Bernard ignored Moore and looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.

"No, I'm the unlucky guy who accidentally fell last night." Xia Yanzhen said, changing his rhetoric.

He already understood what was going on.

Last night, the horse was frightened, and in order to evade responsibility, the coachman Mohr made up a lie that it was caused by Xia Yanzhen's whistle.

Probably in order to be more realistic and appear innocent, he also came to the Grand Field to reprimand.

With Baron Barth's status, if such a thing really happened, the coachman would come to reprimand him on his behalf and let the patrolman receive some punishment, which was nothing.

But Moore did not know the "intimacy" of Baron Bart and Granfield.

Gran Field attaches great importance to it, and does not care about the face problem, and directly sends people over to be disposed of, so that Moore is self-defeating.

Bernard knew what he meant when he heard the song, looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked, "You mean to say that you didn't startle the horse?" ”

"The horse was startled first, and I just blew the spoon and wanted to pull it, but unfortunately I fell and knocked myself out."

"Nonsense!" As soon as Xia Yanzhen's words fell, Moore scolded angrily, and then looked at Bernard in a bit of a panic, "Butler, this inferior person is lying!" ”

“……”

Bernard glanced at Moore indifferently.

Compared with the different attitudes of the two sides, he already has an answer in his heart.

"Did you go to Grand Field during the day?" Bernard asked.

In the Baron's Mansion, of course, there is more than one coachman, and it usually does not restrict the entry and exit of Moore and others.

Unexpectedly, Moore went to Gran Field to complain.

This thing went back and forth, making both sides a little embarrassed.

Moore nodded stubbornly: "Because ...... Because...... Miss was frightened, and I couldn't be angry—"

"Hmph." Bernard snorted coldly, "Come in." ”

He interrupted Moore.

It's not a place to talk.

Because of the appearance of Jack the Ripper, every house is now heavily protected, and there are bodyguards at the door.

Moore shouted, already noticed.

Many times, the new aristocracy has to pay more attention to face than the old aristocracy.

It is impossible to be like ordinary people, noisy and shouting on the street and at the door.

When Bernard turned back, he already had some calculations in his heart, and now, for the sake of the baron's face.

This innocent patrolman will definitely be punished.

After all, the fact that he disturbed the horses was "true", and it had been publicized by Moore, and it would appear that the baron was weak and deceitful if he was not punished.

Of course, because this person is indeed innocent, the punishment should not be too severe, and it is a matter of peeling off the skin on his body.

When the matter is over, Moore will be punished in private.

In the eyes of the superiors, dog fighters are nothing, on the contrary, they need dog legs.

Bad, it doesn't matter.

But dogs are stupid and bad, and they will cause trouble for their owners, so they can't.

Moore exposes his stupid and bad side.

The dog can't be kept, and it's basic to break the leg and throw it out.

The rest depends on the meaning of the baron.

Bernard took the two to a small room, made them wait, and went to Baron Bart himself.

He has a plan, but he will not be good at making claims, and he needs the baron's approval.

Soon, Baron Bart nodded in agreement with Bernard's approach.

The punishment for Xia Yan is dismissal.

The punishment of Mohr should be postponed, for ten days and half a month, and when the matter is completely settled, he will break Mohr's legs, cut off his tongue, and find another excuse to expel him from the mansion.

This is true punishment.

After receiving the order, Bernard returned to the small room and said to Xia Yanzhen: "You go back to Grand Field, resign from the position of patrol officer, and the matter will be revealed." ”

"Huh?" Xia Yan was really a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Excellency the Baron is generous and does not want to hold anyone else responsible. You take off your uniform and that's it, understand? Bernard looked at Xia Yanzhen with a blank expression.

Mohr next to him couldn't hide the smile on his face when he heard it.

"Oh, I see." Xia Yan was really stunned.

He understood, it was just wrong and wrong.

I know you've been wronged.

But when it was spread, Baron Yu's reputation was damaged - his majesty was not strict, he was deceived by his subordinates, and so on.

So, it's still you who is wrong, and you have to pay the price.

"If you understand, let's go, and you can go back for me." Bernard waved his hand, and said the second half of the sentence to Moore.

"Yes!" Mo Er said respectfully, glanced at Xia Yanzhen proudly, and left with a high spirit.

Xia Yanzhen didn't leave, but looked around.

"Not leaving?" Bernard frowned.

"Do you know me?" Xia Yanzhen took off his helmet, threw it on the ground, and began to untie the poncho.

Bernard didn't speak.

He really didn't know who Xia Yan really was.

An inferior person, do you need to care?

"You see, you don't even know who I am." Xia Yanzhen took care of himself and said slowly, he had already lost his coat, belt, and T-crutches, "It's really reckless to make a decision so easily." ”

"Oh?"

"Recklessness, there is a price." Xia Yanzhen said, "Unless you can fight like me." ”

As he spoke, he shook his left hand.

The Spear of Kindness appears and is aimed at Bernard.

"Huh." Bernard didn't laugh back, like an adult looking at a child with teeth and claws, "Okay, very good sir, tell me who you are, and I'll think about what decision to make." ”

Xia Yan was really unhurried, took out the coat of the Prisoner of Darkness, and put it on himself.

Bernard's face finally changed, with a hint of surprise.

He didn't see the revolver, which is understandable.

But what about this tunics? Conjured out of thin air?

"Me, Jack the Ripper!"

After putting on the Prisoner of Darkness, Xia Yanzhen smiled wildly and pulled the trigger.

Gunshots.

Bernard was shot in the chest and fell with an incredulous look.

A few seconds later, he got up again, groping his chest in surprise.

"Pound!"

The small closed door was slammed open.

This small room, along with the inside and outside of the villa, the small door leading to the outside garden at the moment, and the small door leading to the villa open at the same time.

Several bodyguards rushed in, pulled out their revolvers, and aimed them at Xia Yanzhen.

"Shoot! To live. Bernard growled.

Gunshots rang out.

Xia Yanzhen had a few more holes in his trouser legs.

Bullets fall to the ground.

"Tsk." He shook his head, "You can't do it, Lington's big man, that's it?" ”

This is the task of the Second Order Dream Apostle.

These bodyguards are just ordinary people, and the revolvers they use are also very weak to the level of the steam age.

No.

As he spoke, Xia Yanzhen fired five more shots at Bernard.

Bernard was shocked continuously, including the first shot, and had a total of six cylindrical wounds on his body.

Through the wound, the internal broken organs could be seen, no bullets were seen, and not much blood was coming out.

This strange thing made Bernard's face turn horrified.

Even more uncertain than Bernard were the bodyguards who rushed in, and when they saw the wounds on Bernard's body, their breathing became thick.

I can't take my eyes off it, it's obviously a wound, but it looks so attractive, as if it's a peerless beauty.

The bodyguards' eyes were red and gradually lost control.

"You ......" Bernard sensed that something was wrong, and his words were drowned out by the bodyguards who pounced on him, turning into terrified screams.

"You guys are getting busy, I'm going to kill Jack the Ripper." Xia Yanzhen walked out of the small room and closed the door, isolating Bernard's miserable screams behind him.

"Ahh

When a maid saw Xia Yanzhen, she couldn't help but say, and ran while shouting.

"Am I that terrible?"

Xia Yanzhen had already taken out a full set of Prisoner of Darkness to change into, and also changed out of his shoes.

Start testing how effective this mission world really is.

Baron Barth's home was a suitable testing ground.

"Whew-"

At the end of the aisle, a man appeared, holding the gray-white spear in his hand, aimed at Xia Yanzhen, accompanied by the sound of an air valve.

A bullet whizzed.

Xia Yanzhen raised his hand and grabbed the bullet: "I feel that I have the power of a modern sniper rifle, but unfortunately, it is still not enough to see." ”
