I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 204
Most afraid, the air suddenly quiet.

Luden didn't know what to say for a moment.

Good news: Todd is not Jack the Ripper
Bad news: Todd is also a murderer, the serial kind.

Suddenly, Luden figured out something.

Todd lives in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

With Todd's identity, knowledge, and craftsmanship, as long as he wants to, he can live a better life in the fog.

Instead, Todd stayed in the slum-like Santa Fe neighborhood.

He killed people and burned their bodies.

The corpse is very heavy, it is very tiring to dissect the corpse, the fuel for burning the corpse is also very expensive, and the stinky smoke from burning protein is difficult to cover
This job cannot be done by one person.

Even if Todd could do it, with such a big commotion and no one to help cover his tracks, he would have been arrested long ago!

And in the Santa Fe neighborhood, there's only one man who can do it—the Godfather.

That's why Todd settled in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

The former godfather of the Santa Fe neighborhood was Todd's asylum. If the guess is bolder, Todd may have been ordered to kill.

The godfather sent the people he hated to go to Todd's barbershop, and Todd took the opportunity to kill them and incinerate their bodies.
Funeral one-stop service belongs to yes.

The arrest of Todd further confirms Luden's conjecture that without the blessing of the godfather, Todd is like a mouse in the sun, and sooner or later he will show his little black feet.

These things are not made up by Luden's brain, but pieced together from fragmentary clues. Even if it is not the truth, it is not far from the truth.

There was no change in Luden's eyes, and his tone was still cold.
"Godfather Brando knows about you, and you have proved your loyalty to the Kingdom of God and your loyalty to the Godfather."

Hearing Luden's words, Todd's expression softened.

He was not sure at first whether the other party was the messenger of the godfather.

Even if there is a new godfather, it would be a headache just to clean up the mess in the Santa Fe neighborhood, so how can he take care of him?

Under the former godfather, Todd's identity has always been kept secret, as if it didn't exist.

Todd retreated to the corner, like a wounded beast licking its wound, and asked hoarsely,
"What do you need me to do?"

"Live."

With that said, Luden walked towards the cell fence,

"Before the godfather allows you to die, you must live. Your heart does not beat for itself. Believe me, even if you die, the godfather will put his hand into your chest, squeeze your heart, and bring you to death. Back to this world."

Listening to the other party's words, Todd shivered for no reason.

He is a real murderer, even if he is called a murderer, it is not an exaggeration.

Even so, when the other party said these words, Todd only felt a chill down his spine. In front of the other party, he was like a helpless baby, and the other party was the real devil!

This feeling is very strange.

The only thing Todd can be sure of is that he smelled a breath from the other party.

A faint smell of blood.

He was sure that the blood on this man's hands was only a lot more than his own!
In the cell, Luden shouted loudly,

"I was wronged—"

Even if Lu Deng was wronged, even if the people from the Strange Bird Bookstore helped Lu Deng get through the relationship, even if the detective nodded in agreement.
It took Luden a lot of effort to leave the dungeon.

Strictly speaking, it is 3 shillings and 9 pence.

Because Lu Deng only carried so much money with him.

From this small encounter, it can be seen that Wudu's respect for the Code is far inferior to that of Shenbang.

Ceremony breaks and music breaks, ceremony breaks and music breaks!
In fact, most of the eras that Luden experienced were full of rituals and music.

In history, there are only two periods when "rituals are not broken, and music is not bad".

One in the past and one in the future.

The only thing that made him happy was that after Luden was ransacked by the guards, he triggered [Outlaw Madman] and received a reward of 1 shilling.

Back in the carriage of the Strange Bird Bookstore, the old man looked at Lu Deng with an apologetic face, and presented him with 3 shillings and 9 pence.

"Sorry, Mr. Luden."

The old man said helplessly,

"Since we decided to record, the secular forces have weakened a little bit."

He can influence the inspector in various ways, and even manipulate the inspector, but he can't influence every guard.

The King of Hell is good to see, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

"Thank you for your generosity, you have done enough."

Lu Deng accepted the other party's money and looked back at the security team at the same time.

3 shillings and 9 pence.

Luden recorded this account in the account book.

The money paid by the Inquisition, that's the money of the Inquisition.

It was Luden's money that the security team took away!

Account, to be clear.

The old man knew that this matter would not be so easy to pass, but the fate of the security team was not his turn to worry about, as a member of Shenbang.

He sighed, trying to persuade,
"Mr. Luden, don't take such risks in the future, we can't guarantee your absolute safety."

Luden shook his head,

"No one in this world is absolutely safe."

He didn't share his gains with the other party, and the old man didn't care about a pervert who killed a whore or anything.

Luden changed the subject, and mentioned,
"I'm going to investigate this case. I need a semi-official identity, a disguise that can make me inconspicuous."

The old man nodded slowly and didn't say much.

Lu Deng glanced at the other party in surprise, and emphasized,
"It's a deal."

"I know, Mr. Luden."

"As a transaction, you can put forward a condition."

"I know, Mr. Luden."

The old man didn't know how many times he sighed, he looked forward helplessly, and explained,

"Our conditions are very simple, conditions that you will definitely agree to."

He solemnly said,
"Please allow us to document your story and we can promise never to make it public."

Luden readily agreed to this condition without hesitation.

"no problem."

That night, Luden returned to the orphanage in a carriage, washed himself with cold water, had dinner, and returned to the third floor to rest.

The next day, a visitor broke the tranquility of the orphanage.

There are very few visitors to the orphanage, and even if there are, they are all bad customers, who come to collect debts.

The new director seemed to have magical powers. After he came, the whole orphanage became more lively.

The visitor was a young woman with pale blond curly hair, not tall, but very elegant.

She told Sister Facie that she was looking for the Abbot.

Sister Feci asked subconsciously,
"Are you the dean's wife?"

The woman blinked mischievously,
"Is the Dean's wife as beautiful as I am?"

Sister Fishy: .
She asked, "Is the dean handsome? If so, I can consider it."

"Sorry, I'm wrong, I just think you and the dean seem to be a good match, my God, what am I talking about, Holy Father, please forgive my sins"

Sister Fisher took the woman upstairs to the Abbess.

When Lu Deng was found, he was reading a newspaper from a few days ago in the library on the second floor.

"Hello, Mr. Luden."

No need for Sister Feci's introduction, the woman walked up generously, stretched out her hand to say hello to Luden,

"I'm Miller reporter from the Lucky Newspaper. You can call me Miss Miller. I want to ask you about Jack the Ripper. Is it convenient? If you can provide valuable information, the Lucky Newspaper is willing to pay you handsomely." .”

Lucky newspaper?

a familiar name.

Lu Deng got up to shake hands with the other party, invited Mi Le to sit down, and at the same time let Sister Fishy leave.

"Miss Miller, forgive me for offending me. I am a member of God's Kingdom. No matter where I am, I will bind my words and deeds with the sacred code."

Lu Deng looked directly at Mi Le, and said seriously,
"You are not a reporter, nor are you here for an interview."

Mi Le leaned back, with a sly smile on his face, put down the pen and notebook in his hand,

"Why do you say that, Mr. Luden?"

"First, you are not from Shenbang, you are from Wudu."

Luden said slowly,
"Lucky Newspaper is the newspaper of Shenbang. They prefer to hire people from Shenbang. Even if they are willing to use people from Wudu, they will not invite a noble lady like you."

Miller objected,
"Why can't I be a man of the Gods?"

"Accent, fair lady, an accent."

Lu Deng stopped what the other party wanted to refute, and continued,
"Maybe the accent doesn't tell the whole story, but very few people from Godland would call me Mr. Luden."

Miller was stunned.

Of course she has taken history lessons, and she also knows the history of Shenbang.

However, the moment she met Mr. Luden, she didn't feel that the name was too inappropriate.

Only a true Godlander will understand the weight of the words 'Mr. Ludden' in Godland.

Miller is indeed not a god-born man.

Still stubborn, she asked,

"Even if I'm not from Shenbang, why am I a lady from your family?"

Luden shook his head with a smile, and said casually,
"You can buy first-hand information from a private detective, wear clothes that look second-hand but are neat, and even wear a whole outfit to pretend to be a reporter. Your hands are smoother than milk, and you have never weaved or washed clothes. Except for nobles Miss, I can't find a second possibility."

Mi Le was convinced and said with emotion,

"You are more attractive than the rumors say."

Luden just nodded with a smile, accepted the other party's compliment implicitly, and didn't say much.

Mi Le closed his smile and said seriously,

"I want to know more about Jack the Ripper. I'm writing a novel about him. It will be serialized in the newspapers. It must be very popular!"

"Todd was wronged."

Luden said casually,

"There will be new victims, I guess, Jack the Ripper will be pissed off, he will commit crimes soon."

"You're right Luden again, I mean, Mr. Dean."

Miller avoided the words 'Mr. Luden' and asked cautiously,

"What did you do before, detective? I have never seen you with such keen observation and careful deduction. You should be a detective!"

Luden said flatly,

"You don't need to say these compliments, Miss Miller, you want me to go to the scene and look for clues to the murderer, right?"

Miller sighed,
"Yes, it's amazing, you guessed it right again."

In less than five minutes, she was already convinced by the detective-like man in front of her.

no way.

Luden is too good at pretending.

Luden put down the newspaper completely, and said seriously,

"I can accompany you to the scene of the crime. Maybe there will be something to gain. In return, you need to come to this orphanage regularly to give vocal music lessons for the children."

Before Luden finished speaking, Mi Le nodded quickly,
"make a deal!"

For her, being able to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with someone like Lu Deng is sure to make a profit!
Lu Deng stood up and set off with the other party to investigate the case together.

The breeze blew up a corner of the newspaper on the table, and under the newspaper lay a piece of information about Miss Miller.

Provided by the Inquisition, the details are appropriate, and no one can deceive the old.

There are two kinds of detectives in the world.

One kind, predicting things like a god.See the whole leopard at a glance, look for the devil in the details,
The other kind seems to be ordinary, but it can be on par with the former.

Mr. Luden is the latter kind of detective.

Ask him the secret of being a detective?

Mr. Luden would say modestly, "There is no one else, but you are familiar with it."

If you are in pursuit, break the casserole and ask the end.

Luden will reveal the real answer:
"Constantly ask Du Niang when things happen."
