Bolton, the substitute for punishment, led the team to the conference room of the "Balan Fishery Company", where two rows of corpses were neatly lined up, as if someone had lined them up after they had died.

The floor was covered with sawdust, and not a single piece of furniture was intact.

The glass on the windows had long since shattered, and it looked like the shock wave from a violent explosion had shattered it, as there were many shards of glass on the corpses on the ground.

Strangely, no one witnessed or heard the violent explosion.

The strangest thing is that the branch of a big tree outside reaches into the room, and when you look at it from the outside, it looks as if the big tree has bent down and stretched its branch in.

Some people witnessed that the big tree seemed to suddenly come to life, and some people even heard the big tree talking.

In addition, one of the walls of the conference room seemed to be elastic and wavy, and two of the walls were full of holes the size of fists.

Those who have participated in the war are familiar with the scene of a room that has been strafed by enemy heavy machine guns or machine guns.

The problem is that no one has witnessed the presence of heavy machine guns here, nor has they heard the sound of heavy machine guns, let alone left traces of their erection.

So the police thought it was an extraordinary case and handed it over to the substitute punishment, Gayle was ostensibly a follower of the "Lord of the Storm".

Burton glanced at which line Hobert had left behind: "This is most likely a vendetta, but it must have been a feud a long time ago."

"The murderer killed so many people in a row, and even wrote 'hehe', which shows that he is a rational and perverted extraordinary!"

At this time, a police officer walked quickly from the side of the stairs: "Guys, do you have any clues?" ”

Burton glanced at the officer with some anger: "We just arrived. ”

The police officer was full of smiling faces: "It's the group of reporters below, who have been asking and asking, I want to prevaricate them if there are any clues." ”

Burton said impatiently: "Tell those reporters that it's a vendetta or a gang fight." ”

The police officer said with some embarrassment: "The policeman saw this line of writing on the wall, and now the reporter knows this line of writing, and everyone already knows that it is not a simple vendetta or a gang fight." ”

The two substitute punishers looked at their captain, who had just said with certainty that it was a vendetta.

Bolton's old face turned red, and he reached out and slammed a wall: "Why isn't it a vendetta?" ”

The police officer didn't know the inside story, and quickly explained: "Because of the vendetta, I will definitely write something like 'I have revenge', but the other party writes 'I found you', which is obviously the beginning of a serial murder case!" ”

Bolton was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the writing on the wall again, and muttered to himself, "Didn't you take revenge because 'I found you'?" ”

It reminded him of the Aurora Maniacs, who he still believed was a vendetta, because he had taken on too many similar cases.

An ordinary person is targeted by a bullie, resulting in the destruction of his family.

At this time, the ordinary person met the opportunity to become extraordinary, and after a few years or ten years, the avenger who had been distorted by hatred and potions would definitely come back and kill.

It's just that the scene was too bloody from time to time, and the bodies of Gail's family members were not seen, and according to the investigation, Gail's family was fine.

On that note, it seems a bit of an anomaly.

This is the difference between the concept of thinking about the case between the official extraordinary person and the police, and Bolton didn't bother to explain to the officer: "Then you can explain it to the reporters according to the gangster's fight, if not, I will tell those reporters." ”

The two substitute punishers hurriedly asked the police officer to explain to the reporter according to the captain's statement, because the captain had just been punished by the headquarters for hitting the reporter last month.

……

When Hobert and Foirth reappear on the streets of Connaut City, the two immediately blend in with the cheerful atmosphere of the tourists.

For the people of Rune, the first place for a holiday is the city of Connat.

In Hobert's mind, Diece Bay is just on the northern edge of the subtropics, and the warm winds from the sea are blowing right in the city of Connaut, and it is still warm as spring when the entire northern continent enters the cold and dry winter.

In the summer, the Cruise Mountains of South Walshire block most of the hot air from the southeast, so the summer in Connath City is not as hot as in other coastal cities.

There are also beaches and small islands not far from the coastline, making it a paradise-made destination.

It is still during the New Year holidays, and there are a lot of tourists from the northern counties.

Upton's company, as well as the "Balan Fishery Company", are in another district, where there are fewer tourists and don't quite feel the atmosphere of a resort.

In the shopping streets and coastal streets, the streets are full of people, and the streets are full of entertainers, most of which are instrumental performances that can be done by one person, such as violin, saxophone, etc.

Hobart chatted quietly with Forth, occasionally stopping to enjoy street performances, and when he came across a wonderful place, Hobert would reward a few copperpennies.

Usually where there are performances, people are very crowded, and Hobert will gently put his arm around Forth's shoulders to block out the others.

At first, Furth was attracted to the guitar performance of the busker, and when she came back to her senses, she suddenly blushed a little.

She didn't know when, so she didn't resist having intimate acts with Hobart.

At this time, she heard Hobert whisper in her ear, "I can play the guitar too!" In a few days you can buy me a handful from Beckland, and I'll talk to you. ”

When Hobert was in college, he was still a literary young man, not only could he play the guitar, but he also sang very well, and he used to be a school-like character.

But after graduation, everyone spelled "Do you know who his father is"? Gradually, he rarely played the guitar.

Foirth felt his chest thump: "Okay, okay." ”

Guitar playing is rarely heard in Beckland, a characteristic instrument of the kingdom of Fenerport, which the gentlemen of Beckland considered too frivolous.

In Rune, guitar performances are the only place in such tourist cities.

The more Hobert listened, the more itchy he became, and simply took out a 5 Soler note: "Hello, can I borrow your guitar?" ”

This is a scene that often happens in Connet City, where a gentleman who came on vacation suddenly had an itch and borrowed the artist's instrument to play a song.

But most of them were violins, accordions, and so on, and few people borrowed guitars, but the applause was immediately encouraging.

"Absolutely." The busker, a young man with a beard, got up and handed the guitar to Hobert.

Hobert thanked the young man, took the guitar in one hand, and took Furth's hand around the street performer's "cash box" with the other.

Hobert was intently plucking the strings to find his touch, but Furth was inexplicably nervous, because there were at least dozens of people watching, and there were more tourists on the outer floor.

The point is that she has never seen Hobart touch a musical instrument, and she is very worried about Hobert.

The classical guitar is somewhat different from the modern guitar, but it is also about the same, and when Hobert tuned the tone, his mind suddenly fell into a state of confusion, because his mind was full of songs such as "Blue Lotus", "Travel", and "Chengdu".

But these songs are all Chinese songs, are they still translated into Rune on the spot? That would make it feel completely different!

Fortunately, he pretended to be a young man, cough cough, fortunately, he had the experience of a literary youth and did not make him ugly, he plucked the strings and sang one of the English songs that impressed him more "Sound of silence", which is translated as "The Sound of Silence".

Rune is also a language of alphabet pronunciation, so it is similar to the European and American languages in Hobert's concept, and there is no sense of disobedience in translation, and the lyrics do not even need to be changed.

After the brisk and somewhat ethereal prelude is played, the onlookers stop talking and are completely attracted by the rhythm.

When Hobert's crisp and clean singing sounded, many passing tourists began to come to watch.

Foirth on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to enjoy Hobert's performance.

The first thing the street performers who contributed to the guitar noticed was that it was a new song that they had never heard before, but the lyrics were very meaningful, and the rhythm was light and clear, so it was very attractive, and it sounded like a song that had been polished over and over again.

More and more people were attracted by Hobert's singing, and when the song was over, there were already one or two hundred people around!

Hobert stood up and bowed slightly.

Everyone applauded Hobert, and Foirth applauded and said excitedly, "Awesome Hobert, I mean you sang so well!" ”

Looking at her, it was as if she had just received everyone's applause and affirmation.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hobart gave the guitar back to the busker.

The artist hurriedly asked, "Sir, can I sing the song you just had?" ”

"Absolutely." Hobert didn't rely on this to eat, so naturally he wouldn't be so stingy.

Amid the continuous applause of everyone, Hoberta pushed out of the crowd with Furth.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Folth, it's really you!" ”

It was a woman in her thirties, and she looked good.

"Lynn!" Furth smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

She then explains: "This is Lynn, a best-selling author. ”

When she introduced Hobert, she suddenly didn't know how to introduce it: "This ...... It's ......"

Friend? Still is......?

Hobert smiled, "Let me introduce myself, Miss Folth and I are pure boyfriend and girlfriend. ”

Lin nodded with a look of "I understand", she smiled and said to Furth: "Fast enough, last time we talked about marriage at the salon, you also said that you are single, and now you have a boyfriend!" ”

Hobert corrected, "It's the fiancé." ”

He just corrected it casually, but after he finished speaking, he felt that he had not considered Falth's feelings, so he glanced at Furth, and saw that Furth had no intention of hindering him, and he was relieved.

Lin covered her mouth: "Oh my God, you guys...... You're going too fast! ”

That's when Furth realized what it meant to be a "fiancé", and many times it meant living together.

She was a little embarrassed: "It's not what you think!" ”

However, it is difficult for her to make too specific rebuttals, because she and Hobart do "live together".

Lin Ke didn't care about this: "You must write to me when you get married, and I must attend your wedding!" ”

Lunch, of course, is Hobert's "fiancé" treat, who came to the coastal city, how can he not eat seafood?

Hobert very gentlemanly asked the two ladies to order, and Lynn was really unceremonious, shrimp, fish, and crab were all the best, but Furth looked at the price behind the dish first.

Until Hobart reminded her, "You forgot, our expenses are on the coast gang's account." ”

Since Upton said that, if it is not recorded in the accounts of the Coast Gang, it will not give Upton face.

Only then did Foirth remember, and began to order the dishes he liked, without thinking about the price.

The three of them were eating happily, when suddenly a middle-aged man with a full beard and a fierce face sat down next to Hobert: "Long time no see, old friend!" ”

Hobert looked at the middle-aged man: "You recognized the wrong person. ”

"Introduce yourself," said the other man, "I am a bounty hunter, and I may mistake my wife, but I will never mistake the face on the bounty order, respected Mr. Hobert." ”

After all, he was out to play, and of course Hobert didn't want to wear a "mask", so he just made his beard longer and changed his hairstyle, which looked seven or eight points similar to his original appearance.

Everyone is here to travel, who cares if there are any traitors in the newspapers?

Sure enough, even after a performance, no one recognized Hobert.

But in the dining room, Hobart is unlucky enough to meet a bounty hunter.

Hobert smiled, "You did recognize the wrong person, my name is Sherlock." ”

It occurred to him that the name didn't seem to work, and the military and the church seemed to be looking for Detective Sherlock.

But the bounty hunter didn't notice this: "Don't worry, I'm also here for a vacation, and I won't pull you to collect the bounty."

"I think if I suddenly had 50 pounds more in my wallet, I would have been able to assume that I didn't see you."

Of course, the bounty hunter would not be stupid enough to subdue the "10,000-pound bounty", he felt that since Hobert had brought a woman to Connort, he must have come to play, and of course he would not want others to find out about his deeds.

It's a crowded restaurant again, and if the other party doesn't want everyone to find out about their whereabouts, they won't do it easily, so they dare to take the opportunity to blackmail.

Hobert really didn't want to be disappointed by this, and was about to use "association" to solve the problem, when seven or eight came over, led by a middle-aged man who was a little fat but looked quite rich.

There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, somewhat cute baby fat girl, holding a noblewoman's arm a little behind, while the remaining four or five were burly bodyguards.

The middle-aged man smiled at Hobert, "Mr. Matthew, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Hobart got up: "Mr. and Mrs. Dominic, it's a pleasure to see you again. Elizabeth, are you also on vacation? ”

This is exactly the Elizabeth family who came to Conant City for a vacation.

Elizabeth gave a lovely smile, "Yes, Mr. Matthew. ”

Dominia seemed to have changed her face, still smiling for the last second, but when she saw the bounty hunter, she asked with a bored face, "What do you have to do with Mr. Matthew?" ”

The bounty hunter looked at the bodyguards: "It's nothing, I recognized the wrong person." ”

With that, he got up and left.

Dominia winked at two of the bodyguards, who immediately followed, and in order to prevent the bounty hunters from continuing to pester Hobert, they of course had to "talk" with the bounty hunters in private.

Dominia smiled and struck up a few words with Hobart, then shook Hobert's hand: "Don't bother you on vacation, goodbye, have fun." ”

He took advantage of the handshake to approach Hobert: "Mr. Ulysses once said that if you are willing to go to the city of Tingen, there will be a new identity and decent new job waiting for you. ”

Hobert said, "Take me thank you, Mr. Ulysses, I will go to see him if I have time." ”

Elizabeth also came over to say goodbye: "Goodbye, Huo ...... I mean Mr. Matthew. ”

"Goodbye, and have fun."

After sending Elizabeth's family away, Hobert smiled and explained to Forth: "I went to Tingen to handle a case before, and I met Mr. Dominia at that time, but I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Furth nodded, she remembered that she and Hugh were hiding from Zielingers, and that Hobert was on a business trip to Tingen, and she and Hugh were staying with Hobert.

Now that I think about it, it may have been the life of renting together during that time that made her think that it was no big deal to follow Hobert to Fenerport.

At this time, Lin took a closer look at Hobert: "Don't say it, you really look a bit like 'traitor' Hobert!" ”

She laughed, "If one day I can't sell my book with Folth, I ask you to pretend to be Hobert, and we will send you to the police station to collect the 10,000 pounds bounty." ”

At the same time, she also felt a little strange, obviously the other party introduced herself as Sherlock, but why did the middle-aged man just call him Mr. Matthew? Could it be that the full name is Sherlock Matthew?

Then Lynn couldn't help but think: he can't really be Hobert, the "traitor" who killed the prince is in love with a best-selling author, and oh my God, the inspiration for the next book is here!

Foirth smiled unnaturally from the sidelines, "There shouldn't be such a day." ”

Because even ten Fluthga and ten Lynn couldn't get Hobert to the police station.

"I don't care." Hobert smiled: "I can make ten thousand pounds in one day, just thinking about it makes me feel like I've made a fortune!" ”

It occurred to him that he seemed to have made more than 10,000 pounds today: hehehe, it was true that making extra money could make people happy.

The three of them ate about 6 pounds for this meal, and even Lin was a little embarrassed, usually eight or nine people went to the restaurant and opened two bottles of good wine, it would not necessarily cost so much money.

Lynn noticed that Hobert had put the accounts under a name called the "Shores".

Curious, she said goodbye to Herbert and Furth outside the restaurant, then returned to the restaurant and asked the waiter, "Hello, may I ask, what kind of organization is the 'Shore Gang' that gentleman just mentioned?" ”

The waiter who was busy didn't look up: "Sorry, I don't know." ”

It wasn't until a 1 ssole note was handed to him that the waiter immediately put on a smiling face, and there were not many people in the restaurant at this time, and the waiter whispered: "Beautiful lady, the Coast Gang is the biggest gang in Connat City!" ”

Lin couldn't help but cover her mouth, it was hard to imagine that Furth had actually befriended the gangsters! No, it's Forth's fiancé who seems to be so familiar with the gangsters!

The waiter, probably thinking that his answer was not worth 1 sul, continued, "But Mr. Upton is a very reasonable gentleman, and he has come here to dine, and he does not look rude at all.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Upton has recently been granted the privilege of being the general agent of the 'Determined Machinery Firm'!"

Lynn was surprised again, she had heard science fiction writers talk about the "Sharp Machinery Company", which was probably one of the top steam engine companies in the country.

The gold content of this kind of company's general agent is self-evident, I didn't expect a gang leader to get the company's general agent! There must be someone behind this who has used rich channels and contacts to complete such an operation!

She suddenly thought of the gentleman who helped "Sherlock" out of the siege: "Do you know that Mr. Dominia?" ”

"I know him." The waiter smiled: "I have a colleague from Tingen who knows him, he is a big arms dealer, and he also runs a business of transportation, ships, etc., and it is said that he is a big businessman in Tingen. ”

Lin sighed: The friends of Firth's fiancé are very powerful! He can't really be Hobert! Although he betrayed his country and his king, he never betrayed his lover. It's absolutely okay to write this in the next book, but you can't use your real name, otherwise it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the royal family and "traitors".

……

Hobert felt that the wind on the coast was still a little cool, and it was still winter after all.

But it's only relatively cooler, much warmer than the wind led by Jeffrey, and visitors only need to wear autumn clothes.

After a short stroll on the beach, Furth looked at the sea and stretched: "Finally walked on the beach here, okay, let's go back." ”

Hobert took out his pocket watch: "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"If someone recognizes you again, you'll be in trouble." When the bounty hunter threatened Hobert just now, Furth was worried.

Of course, it was the bounty hunter's fear that Hobart would cripple him with a punch, and her vacation had just been ruined.

Hobert smiled, "I'll wait until someone recognizes me, we can leave at any time anyway." ”

Furth smiled, "Okay then. ”

Continuing on, the two of them played beach volleyball for a while, and then took a boat out to sea to see the uninhabited island.

Unfortunately, the water was a little cold and he couldn't swim, which made Foirth feel a little regretful, and Hobert looked at Foirth's figure and stopped at the position of his chest, and also felt that there was a lot less fun.

After getting off the boat, the two of them bought a coconut and sat on a deck chair on the beach while drinking, watching the sun gradually set over the horizon.

Furth sighed, "Hobert, this is how life should be.

"Sometimes I really want to push everything off, and I don't have to worry about promotion, curses, or whatever, just go around and have a look.

"Let your life stop and rest."

Hobart smiled and said, "With me here, you can do whatever you want." ”

But the book still has to be written, and it needs to be done as soon as possible.

Furth took Hobert's hand and smiled sweetly.

(End of chapter)
