Chapter 24: Acceptance

By the time Sean Sr. and Yaan returned to the station, it was almost midnight.

And when old Sean walked into the dungeon, his face was completely gone, and his usual smile was completely gone, replaced by an incomparably dignified one.

As for Ya'an, like a corpse that has lost his soul, his face is dull, his eyes are distracted, and only the only bits of blood on his face still indicate that he is a living person.

Seeing the way the two men came in, Lawrence sighed, knowing that what he had guessed had happened.

"Lord Bonaparte, the girl has found it, but—" Old Sean pursed his lips, glanced sympathetically at Yaan next to him, and continued:

"It's dead."

Lawrence nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and basically confirmed that this was Ciro's handiwork.

Whether it was coercion or inducement, Ciro used the girl to invite Ya'an to a tavern to get drunk, take the opportunity to steal the key, and finally kill people.

"Do you know how to die?" Lawrence asked, also wanting to see how vicious Ciro's methods were.

"Ugh..."

Old Sean sighed, he often heard Ya'an mention the girl, he thought that the two of them would tie the knot and love for a lifetime, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen suddenly, so he said seriously:

"We asked her parents and said that in the afternoon they had a sudden abdominal pain and that a person claiming to be a doctor came forward to help, saying that he needed immediate surgery, but the operation failed..."

Abdominal pain is unbearable and needs surgery? Lawrence knew on a second thought that the poor girl had probably been poisoned. In order not to expose that the girl was poisoned, Ciro also deliberately arranged a killer disguised as a doctor to create a reasonable medical accident.

"What a seamless, fluid conspiracy..."Lawrence bit his lip, feeling more and more that this Ciro was a little tricky.

Without knowing the existence of such a conspirator, Lawrence would not even have linked the one-eyed escape to the girl's death.

As for tracking down the murderous doctor again, I'm afraid I won't be able to find even the slightest clue, Lawrence also wisely gave up, and dealt with the current one-eyed escape first.

Ya'an's eyes pumped out tears, and he choked up and said:

"Even though she was smiling happily at noon... It's all my fault, I poured too much wine on her and made her stomach..."

"Boy, don't be stupid." Lawrence said with a blank face. Rather than comforting others, Lawrence is more accustomed to throwing the truth directly at them:

"Can those water-mixed fruit wines in the drinking hall drink people to the operating table?"

Ya'an was stunned for a moment, several tears slipped down his cheeks, and asked in a daze, "What do you mean by adult?" ”

"She deliberately asked you to drink in the morning, and she deliberately drunk you, and you just lost the key, and it happened to be the one in the one-eyed cell, and One-Eye happened to get the key, and the girl happened to have abdominal pain, and she happened to die in an operation that no one can blame, and the doctor happened to be missing."

Lawrence looked into Ya'an's eyes and said mercilessly. Then he closed his eyes and added:

"It's like a cog, that's fine."

"You mean... Someone is manipulating?! Fortunately, Ya'an didn't lose his mind, and after a little pondering, he understood what Lawrence meant.

Lawrence tapped his head twice, closed his eyes and sighed, and sighed:

"Poor girl, who suffered so much after being poisoned, the doctor who came was still a killer. She lay on the operating table trustingly and let the other man disembowel herself, while the killer stuck a knife in her heart. ”

Old Sean couldn't help wiping away a handful of tears when he heard this, and patted Ya'an on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Who is it... Who is it! I'll kill him! ”

Ya'an clenched his fists and slammed it on the iron door next to him, a huge clanging sound echoing in the dungeon.

His tears had stopped, but his whole body, even the roots of his teeth, trembled with anger, and his low roar was like that of a hungry wolf with bared teeth.

"Ciro Russell, the name of the man behind it." Lawrence said in a deep voice, "You can't kill him alone." ”

Ciro Russell? Ya'an had heard the name mentioned by the seniors in the team, but he didn't talk about it much, and everyone who talked about it looked scared, as if they were commenting on the devil.

But Ya'an didn't care, the girl's smiling nightmare at noon was still in front of him, and they even made an appointment to meet next week. It's just that when Ya'an saw her again, he only saw a corpse covered with a white cloth.

"Whoever it is, I want him dead." Ya'an's voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was too heartbreaking to cry on the road.

"You can't kill him." Lawrence shook his head slowly and said softly:

"But maybe I can."

Yaan looked into Lawrence's eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, the meaning of Lawrence's words was already obvious.

"As long as I can avenge her, I am willing to give up everything to follow the adult, even if I am allowed to fall into hell, I am willing."

Ya'an raised his head, there was no confusion in his clear eyes, only a few tears on his face still remembered his cowardly and immature past.

Without hesitation, he placed his right hand in front of his heart and recited the oath to Lawrence word by word.

An Avenger has been born who will strike fear into the hearts of all enemies, and despite his fragility, Lawrence believes he has unlimited potential.

Lawrence also nodded solemnly, accepted Ya'an's oath, and said:

"I have made a covenant with thee that if I can execute Ciro with my own hands, I will let you do it; If you can get Ciro's body, I will let you burn it. ”

Ya'an didn't speak, just nodded resolutely.

"Alright, boy, go get some sleep and forget about that for a while. Ciro Russell is not the one to burst into his house and shoot him. ”

Lawrence said, indicating that Yaan could leave.

Looking at the back of Ya'an leaving, old Sean sighed a little:

"He used to be a good boy, and I don't know if this path is right for him."

Lawrence shook his head a little indifferently and said:

"It's the path he chose. I need his loyalty, he needs my power, and we just take what we need. ”

Lawrence, remembering that he had not yet told Shaun Sr. about the expansion of the patrol, briefly relayed to him the decision of the afternoon council.

Shaun Sr. began to think that this was a great thing for the patrol team, just like the uninformed councillors. It was only after Lawrence explained that he discovered the trap.

"Lord Bonaparte, there are indeed a lot of hidden dangers in this, just between the new and old players, it is estimated that they will not be able to stop the infighting."

Old Sean said with a worried face that he had been on patrol for more than ten years, and seeing that the place was thriving because of Lawrence's arrival, he didn't want to go back to the days when he was despised before.

"I know that, too." Lawrence nodded and acknowledged that he had largely summed up the risks in Parliament, adding:

"There are two things that matter now, one is to catch One-Eye back as soon as possible, and the other is to find a way to gather new patrols in Xicheng District."

Old Sean thought about it, and these two things are not easy to do.

Escaping from the dungeon will surely lie dormant for a long time, and it will be difficult to find his place, and even if One-Eye is cautious enough, he will go straight to Ciro's place.

As for recruiting new recruits in Xicheng District, in the words of old Sean, fifty dogs are more useful in the team than the poor people recruited there.

Although Lawrence knew that there must be talent available among these poor people, he had to admit that it was indeed a difficult task.

"Anyway, I have to go to Xicheng District tomorrow. Like last time, take twenty men, fully armed, and walk with me. ”

Lawrence instructed old Sean, and then couldn't help but yawn, it was indeed late.
