I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 203 Barber Todd

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Luden's mood was extremely complicated.

This style of painting is not right!
The entry I chose, is it [Human Stars Shine] or [Like Stars Shine]?
Before he saw any of the human stars, a humanoid one had already jumped out!
This entry is fake!
Luden spent 1 million Nebula coins for simulation, but got him a fake entry?
After carefully reading the reports in the newspaper, Luden looked at the date in the newspaper and was taken aback for a moment.
"Is this the newspaper from four days ago?"

"That's right, Dean."

Ren just went downstairs at this time, noticed the news that Luden was checking, and said casually,

"We can't order the papers for the day, which were donated by a respectable old gentleman, and the murderer, if I remember correctly, has been arrested."

Lu Deng was taken aback again, was he arrested?
Jack the Ripper would not be caught so easily.

Is it because I have preconceived ideas and made a wrong judgment, or did the security team catch the wrong person?
Luden put the newspaper aside, didn't seem to care about the matter, and chatted with Ryan casually.

From Ren's mouth, Luden learned that the 'Jack the Ripper' was arrested when he committed the crime. He was a fellow of God, so Ren heard the news from others.

"...Where does this guy live? It seems to be the Santa Fe block. The children are down, Mr. Luden, let's change the subject."

Jack the ripper from the santa fe neighborhood was caught.
For Luden, this is not good news.

If you give the security team an excuse, the other party will severely extort a sum of money, and the final pressure will also be transferred to the underground godfather Lu Deng.

The Santa Fe neighborhood, what a mess.

Luden didn't continue to think about it, but waited for breakfast.

Soon, the simple yet plentiful food was brought to the table by Sister Feixi.

Luden not only paid off the 5 pounds, but also bought enough food for 5 pounds, and told Sister Fishy that this was a week's food.

The children who just woke up were still a little sleepy and listless.

After seeing the food on the table, each eye glowed green, like a very hungry wolf.

After a simple prayer, everyone was given a plate full of food, and many children piled up food in front of them.

While the children were eating, Luden also learned about the situation of the orphanage through chatting with Ren.

"Oliver Orphanage is on the verge of bankruptcy due to operational difficulties, and Wudu has deemed it unable to continue operating."

Ryan patiently explained,
"We have no right to adopt new orphans, but we have to raise these children or send them to other orphanages. Believe me, the situation there is not much better than ours."

Rennes had a good impression of the new dean.

The other party took the initiative to pay for the shortfall and let the children have enough food. From this point of view, it is already better than too much.

As for what kind of person is the new dean?

Look again.

Luden nodded, indicating that he understood.

Orphanages, in this day and age, are undoubtedly a dark corner where sunlight hardly shines.

These children who have been abandoned once can grow up in the orphanage.

Engaging in something legal is already the most ideal ending.

This orphanage will not admit new orphans, and Luden will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the existing members to achieve the perfect ending of the blessing simulation.

"A coming-of-age ceremony?"

Ren looked at the end of the dining table, where a skinny little girl was trying her best to keep her ladylike eating.

"Bailey will have her bar mitzvah in six months and she wants to be an actress."

Luden nodded,

"Then we need to find her an etiquette teacher and a dance teacher as soon as possible."

Ren shook his head with a smile, only thinking that the dean made a joke and didn't take it to heart.

After breakfast, the orphanage was operating normally, so Luden found an excuse to go back upstairs to rest.

He slept for eight hours at a stretch, before he was exhausted from last night.

Before dinner, Luden finished washing, dressed and went out, and told Sister Feci not to prepare dinner for him, but remember to leave the door for him, he will not spend the night outside tonight.

As before, Sister Fisher said piously,

"May the Holy Father bless you, Abbot!"

After going out, Lu Deng didn't waste any time and went straight to the strange bird bookstore.

When the old man saw Lu Deng again, every wrinkle was full of helplessness.

He knew very well that the Inquisition could not escape the demon in front of him.

For Mr. Luden, he never cared who he cooperates with, as long as it can be useful to Luden.

Before being assassinated by the Senate, Lu Deng had always been the best partner of the Senate, and the cooperation experience between the two parties was very pleasant.

The old man sighed,
"What are you going to do, Mr. Luden."

Luden's thinking was very clear.
"I need money. Based on my understanding of this era, nothing can be done without money."

The expenses of the orphanage, the management of the Santa Fe neighborhood, down to the doorman at the entrance of the tavern, up to the detective of the security team.
There are too many places that need money, and Luden has too little money.

He can use [Outlaw Fanatic] to earn some pocket money to deal with daily expenses and emergencies, that's all.

If you want to give blessings to more people, you cannot do without money.

The old man smiled wryly, and looked at Lu Deng more helplessly.

In this world, anyone may be short of money, but this man in front of him is not.

Luden had a hundred, a thousand ways to make money, but he would never take the initiative to ask for money from the Inquisition.

He can never say:

"I, Luden, pay money!"

The old man said slowly,
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you, and you may not need our help."

He wanted to know the real purpose of Mr. Luden's visit.

Luden said with some embarrassment,

"Ahem, mainly, you have free newspapers and books here, oh, and free tea and snacks."

old man:
After a few seconds of silence, he shook the copper bell on the table and called a young man,

"Give me some tea and snacks, sir."

Luden hurriedly said with emotion,
"You are too kind."

The old man didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, so he said bravely,

"This is what we should do."

Drinking tea, eating snacks, and reading newspapers.

Luden felt that he was living like a Lord of the Twist.

Half an hour later, Luden put down the newspaper.

The drowsy old man opposite him opened his eyelids and looked at Lu Deng quietly.

The old man knew that Mr. Luden did not come for money, nor for newspapers and snacks.

Luden pointed to a name on the newspaper and said seriously,

"I want to see him."

The old man picked up his glasses and struggled to see the name clearly:

Jack the Ripper.

"We have no information on him."

The old man said truthfully,
"He's just a murderer, even if he's more famous, he's just a murderer. We can't know everything."

Things like the killing of the godfather are considered a major event in the eyes of the people of Shenbang.

Even the godfather's basic necessities of life, daily life, will be watched by a special person, so many secrets can be recorded.

A killer who preys on whores?
The grade is a bit too low.

There are a lot of scum in this world, and in this era, killing a few people is not even big news.

"I see."

Luden nodded and continued,
"So, I'm going to meet him and have a chat with him if I can."

Hearing Mr. Luden's request, the old man did not remain silent for too long, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"I'll arrange it for you."

Fifteen minutes later, Luden appeared in the security team's dungeon and was roughly pushed into the cell by two members of the security team.

"Be honest! The guy who even steals newspapers!"

"You fellows from God State, can't you stop?"

"."

The team members left cursing, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the cell.

The Inquisition works faster than before.

The old man called a familiar detective, and without any evidence, he falsely accused Lu Deng of stealing the newspaper, and the detective threw Lu Deng into this cell knowingly.

All the other cells were full, except this one.

Because, Jack the Ripper is locked here.

The dim fire flickered, and Luden could smell rotting rats in the air.

In the dark corner, there was the sound of iron chains moving, which soon stopped.

A hoarse voice came and asked feebly,
"Are you a reporter, a lawyer, or a relative of a prostitute? Or a detective's subordinate?"

Apparently, life was not easy for the suspect these days of his arrest.

The case of Jack the Ripper was worthless in the Inquisition, but it caused a sensation and attention in the Fog.

Journalists with a keen sense of smell run as fast as sharks smelling blood.

"neither."

Lu Deng did not use Wudu language or Shenbang language, but first used the ancient Qiyun language, and asked,
"Are you from the Santa Fe neighborhood?"

The moment I heard Gu Qiyun's words, the iron links collided together, and the people in the corner sat up and asked in surprise,

"Are you a man of God?"

Before coming, Lu Deng had read the other party's information and knew his details.

Todd Barker is a barber. The Barker family is regarded as an aristocratic class in the Kingdom of God. He has been trained by nobles since he was a child. Qiyun language is an indispensable part of education.

Todd and his girlfriend fall in love, but are blocked by his family. In order to live an ideal life with his girlfriend, they elope to Wudu.

Not long after arriving in the fog, his girlfriend passed away due to illness.

Todd didn't want to go back to his hometown, but fortunately, he had a good skill in cutting and shaving, so that he would not end up on the streets.

The two sides communicate in Qiyun language, even if the wall has ears, it is difficult to understand what they are saying.

"Yes."

Luden nodded, raised his hands, signaled that he was not malicious, took a step forward, and said in a low voice,

"I'm here on behalf of the godfather."

Todd said cautiously,

"The godfather is dead."

Before he was arrested, the godfather in the Santa Fe neighborhood died unexpectedly. Every godfather in the Santa Fe neighborhood knew about it, and Todd was no exception.

Luden explained,
"The new godfather, Brando."

Brando?
Todd tried to search for the name in his mind, but found nothing.

"Godfather. I haven't heard of any new Godfather."

Todd is still vigilant, but his tone has softened,
"Listen, I won't say anything, I won't admit anything, the godfather can rest assured, I won't break the rules of the Kingdom of God"

As he spoke, Todd's voice gradually weakened.

He knew that he was probably going to die and suffer this injustice.

But, for some reason, Todd didn't want to defend himself.

Likewise, he has no desire to talk to the godfather.

Let him die quietly, like a cockroach in a corner.

Faced with Todd's weakness, Luden became tough instead, and he said indifferently,

"You betrayed your own family, and they don't recognize you as a member of God State."

Hearing this, Todd turned his head away, not wanting to talk nonsense with the messenger.

Luden snorted coldly and continued,

"The godfather needs to know if you have really committed the unforgivable sin, and if so, he must go to your girlfriend's grave and tell her all this, and tell her that she fell in love with an impure soul .”

"He dares!"

The sound of the iron chains colliding was a little messy, like Todd's heart.

Todd protested loudly,
"He can't do that! She's my wife!"

Lu Deng looked at the other party with cold eyes, without saying a word.

They are all gods, and they know very well that the godfather can do this.

Even said. The godfather should do it.

The godfather of Shenbang itself evolved from a priest, and he also serves as a priest.

Dialogue with the dead and undead is also one of the duties.

With just a few words, Todd was severely manipulated.

He can accept that he has been wronged unjustly, and he can even accept that he is hanged.

However, Todd couldn't accept that he was humiliated in front of his lover and had to bear this kind of infamy!
"I was wronged!"

Todd stood up and took two steps forward. The iron chain restricted his movement and prevented him from moving forward.

Luden took a final step forward, and fought back forcefully,
"Everyone says they are wronged, what about the evidence?"

He and Todd were face to face, and he could smell the sour smell on each other, a musty smell, which almost made Luden suffer from asthma.

Todd's eyes were red, and he stared at Luden like a beast.

If he wasn't bound by an iron chain, he would rush up immediately and tear the guy who threatened him to pieces!

After intimidation, comes temptation.

Luden won't get tired of playing the carrot and stick trick for many years.

Luden's voice became softer, and he said softly,

"If you are willing to cooperate with the work of the godfather, the godfather is willing to hold a wedding for you and your lover after you are released from prison."

Todd fell silent.

She'd always wanted a decent wedding, the Godfather kind.

However, no godfather is willing to offend the Buck family. Many people sympathize with them, but they will not lend a helping hand.

Even if she is dead, in the belief of Shenbang people, a wedding can still be held, and their souls are still legal couples in heaven, receiving divine blessings
Seeing the other party's heartbeat, Lu Deng struck while the iron was hot, taking advantage of the victory to pursue,

"I need evidence to convince the godfather that you are not the murderer!"

Do you want evidence?
Todd has a perfect proof.

Todd was close to Luden's ear, lowering his voice as much as possible so that he would not scream, and said word by word,
"Every time I kill someone, I burn the body!"

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, belated blessings.This piece of 4000 words is sent, today there is only one update, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be closed for half a day.
