I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 216 Prelude to the Counterattack

Reward?

This term is no stranger to the people of Shenbang.

The conjecture in Todd's heart was confirmed again, but he didn't say it out loud.

Hannibal already knew some inside information, but he was not that surprised.

According to the laws of the Little United Kingdom, Luden and Todd are now missing fugitives.

If the security team declares them dead, the two can get a new identity, leave the fog city, and start a new life.

In fact, even if you stay in Wudu, it won't affect you.

There are no portraits of the two in the security team. With the legal environment in Wudu, it is not difficult to achieve this level as long as you spend money to manage it up and down.

However, Mr. Luden obviously did not intend to give up his identity.

But as a fugitive, even with the cooperation of the Inquisition, he couldn't leave the nursing home. How could he send blessings to Wudu when he stayed at home?
Hannibal was very curious about this question, he asked politely,

"How are you going to deliver the blessing?"

Lu Deng didn't make a fool of himself, but replied seriously,
"To Loudon the Tribune for inventing the newspaper."

Fight back with newspapers?
This is the first time I heard it.

Luden flipped through the newspapers on the table, pointed to one of the reports,
"After we died, Miss Miller wrote a report. Although it didn't make the headlines, the position was pretty good."

Luden pushed out the newspaper, and Todd and Hannibal carefully read the report.

Regarding the disappearance and suspected death of the two, Miller expressed concern and blessings. At the same time, she suggested that the two may have been wronged, and that the real Jack the Ripper was someone else.

In the report, Miller called on the security team to open a new round of investigations to prevent Jack the Ripper from committing another murder.

Even if Jack the Ripper doesn't show up anymore, these two people shouldn't die with such notoriety. They should investigate clearly and return their innocence.

After reading the report, Hannibal nodded slightly and said with emotion,
"What a kind-hearted girl, pertinent and sincere."

Todd rolled his eyes and scoffed at the report,

"She doesn't want to provoke the murderer, but she is willing to leave us in the dungeon to wait for death. If we really go to the gallows, she may pretend to cry and pray to the Holy Father.

As for the two guys who died unjustly, who really cares? "

Of course Todd heard the conversation between Luden and Miller in the dungeon.

If Mi Le really did what Luden said, the two of them would not need to escape from prison, let alone get to where they are today!
It's just that Todd cast his eyes on Lu Deng, and couldn't help being a little suspicious.

There was no reason why Mr. Luden could not see things that he could see clearly.

In other words, is it all in Mr. Luden's calculations even to this point? !

Todd couldn't help being a little excited, looking forward to how Mr. Luden would fight back.

Luden looked at Hannibal and said politely,

"Please invite a few newspaper reporters to come over. There is a report that needs to be published."

Hannibal suggested,

"If you want to make headlines, the reporter's authority may not be enough, we can go directly to the editor-in-chief."

"No, there's no need for headlines, just a little square in the corner."

Loudon continued,

"According to the Fog City Code, if you want to convict me and Todd, you need at least the signature of a detective. I want his name and information."

"no problem."

Hannibal, no, it should be said that the efficiency of the Inquisition Office is very fast.

Lu Deng quickly met the reporter, paid the other party's remuneration according to the market price, and published the relevant content in the next day's newspaper.

Because Lu Deng had too few words to publish, the two newspapers simply waived his fee.

In addition to the reporter, Lu Deng also obtained the information of the inspector.

"Field Kane?"

Luden noticed that the inspector was not only proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but also had an astonishing amount of property under his name.

In Fog City alone, he owns two real estate properties worth a total of 4500 pounds!
This is not a normal income level for a detective.

Of course, the inspector will use the excuse that he has good financial management in order to save this expensive family property.

He has shares worth 1000 pounds to his name.

Stocks, certificates of shares evolved from the Shenbangfubao contract exchange.

The stocks of listed companies can be freely circulated on the exchange, as long as they comply with the securities law.

The Fubao Contract Exchange now trades two things, one is the old version of the Fubao Contract, also known as futures.

The other is proof of share - stock.

Most of the stocks held by Inspector Field are concentrated in one company-Coral Mining.

As a large coal mining company, Coral Mining has a long history, strong capital, stable output, guaranteed income in drought and flood, and stable profits without compensation.

After reading the inspector's information, Luden made a new request,

"Bring me the information of Coral Mining. I need to evaluate the company's operating conditions."

Hannibal quickly returned with materials, two boxes full.

He was a little excited, because he had read history, and he knew very well that offending Mr. Luden would definitely lead to nothing.

This Mr. Luden is really small-minded.

Hannibal asked tentatively,
"Are you going to go short?"

Just like in Shenbang back then, use the blessing contract to short, and reap a lot of money.

However, after so many years, Hannibal doubted that the trick of the year would be successful again.

After all, even if he is a doctor, he also knows the principle of short selling.

The Fubao Contract Exchange has been in operation for four hundred years, and it has spawned a group of people who make a living on it, and many of them are smart people.

If Mr. Luden wants to use the moves from four hundred years ago, he will probably be disappointed.

"Do not."

Luden shook his head,

"I'm going to sit in the manor."

Take the manor?

Hannibal pressed, "How much money do you have?"

"good question."

Luden touched his pocket and put it on the table,

"Forty-nine pounds and eight shillings."

Most of the money here was won by him playing cards.

It took part of the article to be published in the newspaper, and Luden asked Father Puji to bring a sum of money to the Oliver Orphanage, and all the rest of the money was here.

Less than 50 lbs.

Hannibal shook his head subconsciously, and murmured,

"Fifty pounds to sit on the bank. With all due respect, Mr. Luden, you must at least find a way to turn this money into 50, no, only 500 pounds will have a chance!"

"you're right."

Hannibal was taken aback by Luden's answer.

He obviously didn't expect that since Mr. Luden agreed with his point of view.

"50 pounds really can't sit on the bank."

Lu Deng admitted very frankly that besides insider information, it also requires strong funds, the stronger the better.

Luden stretched out a hand and said sincerely,
"Hannibal, borrow some money."

Hannibal:
He has a feeling of eating melons and eating himself.

Why are you talking so much about yourself!

Luden has taken the first step to become a manager: financing!

Back then in Shenbang, Lu Deng went directly to the Holy Family, completed the primitive accumulation of capital, and only then did the following series of operations.

Now it's all over again in Wudu, but this time there is no rich woman.

Luden could only go in another direction: to borrow money.

This loan is still a credit loan, because Luden has nothing to mortgage.

Eventually, Hannibal handed Loudon a check for 300 pounds.

According to the agreement, Luden needs to repay 400 pounds within six months.

In half a year, 33% interest, in anyone's eyes, this is a good deal.

But considering that the other party is Mr. Luden, this is still start-up capital, and Hannibal feels that he has lost money.

It's the first time to make a deal with Mr. Luden, so if you lose a little, you will lose a little.

Luden didn't let Todd go, and tried to get some money from the other party. If it didn't work, he could ask Todd to do odd jobs in the nursing home and earn some money for Luden.

Todd was forced to have no choice but to tell the location of the old godfather's secret vault, and at the same time tell Luden where he hid his silver knife.

In the old godfather's secret vault, Hannibal found 25 pounds.At the same time, Todd's silver razor was mortgaged at the pawnshop for 5 pounds.

Luden's funds soared from 50 pounds to 380 pounds!
However, this amount of money was not enough to satisfy Luden's appetite.

He sent someone to the Santa Fe neighborhood to demand that all cadres pay the outstanding fees, and at the same time collect the fees for the next three weeks in advance.

Of course, the cadres will not pay the money so honestly, even if they are willing to pay the money, they will procrastinate.

The new godfather who just took office didn't do much work, but received a lot of money instead.

Lu Deng couldn't get away from dealing with these matters for the time being, so he could only raise as much money as possible through various channels.

Even if the money is enough, Luden still has another problem to solve:

He had to leave the nursing home before he could flex his muscles. Living in this safe haven, many things were inconvenient.

If he wants to leave the nursing home, he and Todd must be cleared of their crimes.

Hannibal knew exactly what Mr. Luden was going to do, the only thing he was curious about was how to do it?

The next day, newspapers were delivered to the streets.

Jack the Ripper is dead, but people's lives are still going on, and there will be new hot spots and new gossip.

As usual, a butcher worked in silence, cutting the skin of the pig with a knife, disemboweling it, deboning it, and chopping it into pieces.
During his breaks, the Butcher was different from the others, preferring to be alone with a newspaper.

A butcher who likes to read newspapers is a rare thing.

Sitting in a corner, the butcher was rummaging through the newspapers.

He wanted to find out more about Jack the Ripper, but he was disappointed.

The butcher obviously didn't understand that only living serial killers were eligible to be discussed.

Once they die, they are worthless.

Is it amazing to kill people?

When the artillery went down, it probably killed more people than Jack the Ripper.

If the number of killings is really to be compared, then the executioner operating the guillotine should be the focus of the newspaper.

The story of a serial murderer, the sense of anticipation is always in the period before his arrest.

Once he was arrested, he became ordinary again, even a little out of grade. The mysterious aura on his body faded automatically, and the fan filter and horror bonus were all eliminated.

The butcher comforted himself that at least he was safe.

He continued to rummage through the newspapers, trying to find reports related to himself.

He saw an article written by a woman named Mi Le, calling on the security team to restart the investigation. The text was limp, like a mosquito.

Something of this magnitude would only make a butcher laugh.

The butcher tore up the report and kept it as a souvenir.

He continued to rummage through the newspapers, trying to find more news about Jack the Ripper.

He found it.

The report was in the most corner, the most inconspicuous place, with only three or two lines of words.

With just a glance, the butcher felt blood rushing to the top of his head, his eyes were red, and he wanted to drag the person in the report to his eyes and kill him like a pig.

The report reads:
"As we all know, Jack the Ripper died in a stupid escape plan, and he succeeded in proving one thing to us: he was an incompetent coward who only dared to bully unarmed whores.

The newspaper apologizes to all readers concerned about the Jack the Ripper case for wasting your time. "

　There are two more changes today, but they will be a little later, and they are coding.
