Chapter 15: Don't Move!

The sun at dawn gradually rises.

But the weak sunlight could not penetrate the thick clouds, and the white mist almost engulfed the entire city.

In the factory area lined with chimneys, exhaust fumes are constantly being discharged, making the already low-visibility weather even more oppressive.

"Ha~"

Rosalia couldn't help but yawn.

In the early morning of May, it was still a little cold in London, and Maggie put a blanket over His Highness's legs.

After a night of torrential rain, the mansion was unrecognizable.

There were many people busy in the courtyard, and after a long time, there was a commotion from the crowd.

"The body has been found." Sergeant Webb in the crowd shouted with his neck raised.

Maggie pushes her wheelchair and asks Her Highness to come down to the pond.

The body lay on a white cloth.

Rosalia looked down and took a closer look.

The deceased was about 35 years old, wearing a black suit and no tie, and all his clothes were high-end goods.

There was a crimson bloody hole in his chest, and there were no obvious scars, and the stiffness on his face was extremely frightened, as if he had encountered something terrible before he died.

"There was no sign of a fight." Sergeant Webb said from the side.

Truly.

The deceased was neatly dressed, there were no lines, and there were no signs of a fight on his body.

"He killed him, he can't be wrong." A doctor next to him affirmed, "The fatal wound was below the left chest, a few centimeters to the left of the sternum." The murder weapon pierced and shattered a section of the rib cage to the heart. ”

"Dead on the spot?" Rosaria asked.

"Within a minute, coronary hemorrhage compresses the heart, causing cardiac tamponade."

"Where's the murder weapon?"

The doctor thought for a moment before he spoke, "Like a bullet...... Although we did not find any evidence, it was definitely not a wound caused by a knife blade. ”

"Can you infer the time of death?"

“…… Well, it looks like he must have died yesterday. But the specific time period of death, with our current ability, it is impossible to judge. ”

"Got your identity confirmed?" Rosalia asked with a blank face.

"Confirmed." Sergeant Webb nodded, "That's Mr. Davis." ”

"Let the family come and recognize it."

When the policeman in the back heard Rosaria's order, he said, "Please come inside."

Mrs. Davis stepped forward.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was the bright red, and it turned out that the lady was wearing a very gorgeous dress and stepping on court-style high heels.

Her long hair was perfectly styled, and her face was deliberately accentuated with heavy makeup, and looking at the corpse, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands.

The police watched the scene in silence.

Madame stopped in front of the corpse, her jaw trembling slightly.

"Ma'am, please ......be sorry," Sergeant Webb comforted her.

Mrs. Davis ignored him, her hands slowly moving to cover her face, and then her knees bent as if they could not support her.

She crouched on the ground, and a wailing cry came from her covered mouth.

Woo, dad and husband are dead......

It's all mine, so sad, haha......

It was like acting, Rosalia thought to herself.

On the way here, she looked up some information about the family, and probably understood the reason why the mayor's daughter hated her father and husband. The two marriages that were forced to marry were not the people they liked, and it was not easy to change anyone.

At this moment, seeing this lady pretending to be sad and acting in front of the police is not disgusting, but I think it is ironic.

A rich material life does not necessarily bring a rich spirit.

"Kelly."

"Captain, please command."

"When the lady is emotionally stable, take her back to make a record." Rosalia ordered indifferently.

"Yes, Captain!"

Kelly received the order to stand directly behind Mrs. Davis.

Looking at her posture, it seems that as soon as Madame's crying stops, she will immediately pull her hair back to the game.

"Wow, Captain, you're really hard-hearted......"

A very greasy male voice came from behind.

A few policemen looked back, only to see the embarrassed Gerald walk in, sighing with a sigh in his mouth: "I said captain, this is a heartbroken new widow, is it too cold-blooded for you to do this?" If you want me to say that you should hand her over to me, let me soothe her wounded heart......"

Rosalia's face was expressionless.

The indifferent eyes seemed to be looking at a corpse.

“…… Uh, ha, haha......" Gerard unconsciously looked away, "Joke, just kidding." Seeing that everyone was so dull, I thought about playing the clown and putting on a joke for everyone......"

You're pretty self-aware...... Everyone thought so.

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore." Rosaria tilted her head sideways and looked at her subordinates indifferently, "Right now, you have a chance to make up for your dereliction of duty. If something goes wrong again, don't think about staying in London and living a taxpayer-fed moth. You know, India and Australia are short of people right now......"

The corners of Gerald's eyes twitched, and he immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, captain!" ”

The morning air was humid and smelled musty.

Yu Lian got up early, boiled hot water very luxuriously, and enjoyed a hot bath in the morning.

It is said that the ladies of London had a habit of enjoying a hot bath every morning.

For the poor, this is still too much of a luxury.

After taking a shower, he made a simple breakfast.

Boiled potatoes and ghee dough without fillings, served with a lipelin sauce (a hot Indian sauce). The bland food is enhanced with a sauce that adds a touch of exotic flavor, and a bowl of steaming oatmeal is served at the end.

"Ah~"

It's comfortable.

The stomach is already full.

"I've heard that the rich London's breakfast is hearty, steaks, marinated oysters, shrimp, turnips, partridge birds, small plates of eggs, Bayona ham, Russian caviar, fish balls, roasted lamb kidneys, chicken pies, turbot with mayonnaise, pigeon pie, lamb and grilled mackerel......"

Counting and counting, Yu Lian suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he was about to move.

He now has 230,000 francs.

The live exchange rate of the Franc to the British Pound is 25.22:1.

That's 9,120 pounds.

It would take an average worker 227 years to earn £9,120 without eating or drinking.

"Am I going to improve my life...... Yu Lian muttered, putting on his clothes in front of the mirror.

It's still drizzling outside.

The already turbid and foul-smelling air became even more unbearable because of the dampness.

The smell comes from walls, curtains, mattresses and chairs, as well as from guests staying in the apartment.

As the guests change in batches, the lingering smell of the human body accumulates more and more, turning into an intrusive, indescribable, and unbearable smell - the smell of poverty.

In the past, Yu Lian could still tolerate this strange smell.

But now, with every extra breath, he felt that there was an extra part of his body that was polluted.

I really want to move to the West End of London and live in a spacious and bright house!

Sure enough......

Poverty makes people rational, and poverty makes people happy.

As soon as there is a rich man, the heart is restless.

No, you have to hold back, this money can't be spent indiscriminately!

Yu Lian patted his face and warned himself that he needed to use the first pot of gold on the blade, and that coveting enjoyment too early would only harm you!

He straightened his clothes and gave himself a thumbs up in the mirror: "Today is another day of abstinence!" ”

Turn around and get ready to go out.

The statue of the snake girl I picked up last night is on the shoe cabinet at the door.

Next to it is the smelly socks.

"This statue is quite realistic...... Yu Lian played with it in the palm of his hand for a while, touched it up and down, and then threw it into the system space and put it.

Push open the door and go down the narrow, dirty staircase.

Julien's heart was filled with hope.

Today, he has an untold amount of ore and energy.

In Victoria, a time of local prosperity and general turmoil, ore and energy mean the capital of hegemony.

There will be many historical events.

Taiping Rebellion, Black Ship Incident, Restoration of the French Empire, Crimean War, Second Opium War, American Civil War, Lincoln's Assassination, Serfdom Reform in Tsarist Russia, Meiji Restoration, Establishment of the Second German Empire, and Establishment of the French Third Republic......

This is definitely a turbulent time, and if you want not to be humiliated everywhere, you can only be strong.

I don't have to conquer the world, but I have to have the power to conquer the world!

Walking out of the door of the apartment, Yu Lian looked at the rising sun.

Although it has not yet rained, the light that leaks through the clouds is brilliant, tranquil and beautiful.

Suddenly, the mind became extremely open-minded.

“La gloireà mes genoux!” Yu Lian shouted at the sun.

(French: Glory bow down to me!) )

In the next second, several policemen came over, pointed their batons at his head, and shouted: "Don't move!" ”

Huh?

Yu Lian was stunned at the corner of his eyes.

Was it exposed so quickly?

This is really, the business has just started and the direct starting line has collapsed, woo hoo lament.
