Another person died.
This is the topic people talked about this morning.
According to “Queen’s Daily”, at the junction of the eastern district Elyse and the inner city, a man was shot and killed there. Due to the proximity to the inner city where the rich live, the patrols were dispatched very quickly, but as many times before Again, they found nothing.
According to the autopsy of Suaran Hall, the man was hit by a shotgun head-on at close range. The four-scattered projectiles beat his body to a bloody face, making it difficult to distinguish his appearance, but according to the tanned skin and the faint fishy smell, Suaran Hall speculated that he was a sailor, but they didn’t know why the sailor appeared there that day. It was very far from the harbour, so he didn’t have any motivation to come here.
Another unsettled case, at least the public thinks so.
We are not surprised by this result, or even panic. After all, for a long time we are used to it.
This is Old Turin, the heart of the entire Irvine, the heart of the entire world, where the first steam engine in human history came from.
Therefore, everyday all, there are countless strangers who come here, some for wealth, some for knowledge, and some for power.
The excessive flow of people has brought about the deterioration of public security. In order to maintain order, Old Turin has divided 4 districts, and they are in a circle.
The most central is the power center of Irvine. The Platinum Palace where Queen Victoria lives is there. At the same time, there is also an established by Royals third Tactical Army stationed there. Beyond this is the inner city where the rich and dignitaries of Old Turin basically live here. Enjoying the 24-hour protection of the patrol, outside of this is the outer city district, which is divided into 4 small areas. Most residents live here, which is the largest part of the entire Old Turin, and the last is the lower city district.
According to the documents of visitors, the districts of Old Turin are open to them one by one. If you are dressed in tattered clothes, you will not be able to enter the outer city district. At most, you can only hang around in the lower city district, and the lower city district is in a sense Not even the city.
At the beginning, it was a slum, but as more and more people came here, the lower city district continued to grow, and finally became so large that even the consul had to face it.
As a result, a chaotic and disorderly urban area appeared, where the largest black market transaction in the entire Old Turin, the last incinerator of all secret information, was only a fine line from the world pursued by everyone.
The dead sailor was from the lower city district. To the residents of Irvine, the people in the lower city district are not even considered humans. They are just a group of dirt that defiles this beautiful city.
So the death of the sailor became the talk of everyone, no one cared at all, except for one person, the one who killed him.
Lorenzo walks in the lower city district. The infrastructure is built as it extends to the outside of the city. Now he is on the edge of the lower city district. The infrastructure here is not the same. The boots are stepped deep on the muddy road. If it weren’t for making a living, Lorenzo would not come here.
Wearing a deerstalker hat dyed black, he pressed down the pale-gold short hair, and a dark red tie on his chest. The wide gray and black trench coat perfectly blocked the guns underneath. He held his cane and looked at his hand from time to time. The pocket watch in China looks like a businessman in a hurry.
Lorenzo’s clothes are just right, no different from ordinary pedestrians, but now he is in the lower city district, in the eyes of the people in the lower city district, he is a fat sheep who strayed here.
People from different countries and regions are watching this fat sheep in the corner. It is not under the jurisdiction of the patrol. Even the dead are rarely held accountable. After all, there is a huge flow of people here. Everyday all there are countless people arriving with ships. The city.
Among them are who, and they also know that who should be targeted, who should not be targeted.
A few newcomers were interested in Lorenzo. They quietly divided Lorenzo’s property. Some people wanted his trench coat and some people wanted his pocket watch.
The others just ignored this. After the lower city district became the black market in Old Turin, a new black industry chain was formed here. Most of the people who dare to grab people are gangsters, and they will only get themselves involved in helping.
On the dirty street, this group of people surrounded Lorenzo like this, looking fierce.
“My friend is well dressed.”
The one in the lead looked at Lorenzo with a smile. This was not kind, he just found that Lorenzo’s pocket watch was much more valuable than it seemed.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t do it.”
The voice was a little helpless, it seemed he was used to it, and Lorenzo didn’t care about what happened to him.
This is the case in the lower city district. He previously killed a few desperate people under the crowd of dozens of people, thinking that he would establish some prestige, but he would still be like this every time he came. Lorenzo thought someone was targeting him, but Later he discovered that it was just these people who had passed away.
This is the lower city district, the temporary residence of the aliens. According to Irvine’s law, this is not protected by Kingdom, and the people here are not considered citizens. Beyond this is the estuary of River Thames, where there is the largest seaport in Irvine. People who hang out in the lower city district may be here today, and the fishing boats may go to other Sea Territory on the 2nd day.
There are also gang reasons. The benefits of the black market are only these. For these industrial gangs, conflicts will break out in the lower city district every day. Everyday all people die, and their bodies will be thrown directly into River Thames and then concentrated incineration.
It’s not that no one remembers Lorenzo, it’s just that they died too quickly.
The bright knife swayed in front of Lorenzo’s eyes, and when he was thinking about how to deal with these desperate thugs, the rush of horses hooves sounded, a dark carriage stopped by the street, and the carriage driver was not polite and straightforward. Take out a pistol and shoot at these mobs.
He is really welcome. After a few shots, the corpses of the thugs lay in front of Lorenzo. People on the street fled because of the gunshots. For a while, only him and the carriage driver were left on the empty streets. .
“Mr. Holmes?”
It seems that he can’t see Lorenzo clearly because of his old age, but the shooting just now is so precise, making it a bit difficult to judge this carriage driver.
“it’s me.”
Scanning the emblem on the carriage, Lorenzo got into the carriage without hesitation, but instead of getting in the carriage, he sat in the front of the carriage with the carriage driver.
“What’s the matter with those people?”
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lorenzo looked disgusted.
“Illegal immigrants. Recently, there are more and more Illegal immigrants. Most of them are criminals. They think they can usher in a new life in Old Turin, but they don’t know that they have to say goodbye to their past when starting a new life… They still keep it. Thug thinking has caused a lot of things recently.”
The carriage driver waved his whip, and the carriage started slowly, moving forward on the muddy road.
“Burlau doesn’t care about this?”
“The adults have been very busy recently. Two gangs are about to go to war due to territorial issues. The adults are mediating recently. Those two gangs have important industries. The adults don’t care whether they win or lose, but because of their conflict, those industries are bound to Affected, their lives are not so valuable yet.”
“Hmm…it looks like his style.” Lorenzo said nodded.
“By the way, Mr. Holmes, if you want to come next time, please order in advance. I will pick you up and avoid unnecessary conflicts.”
The carriage driver said again, thoughtful like a steward.
Lorenzo nodded, did not speak, although he was in the car not long ago, it was clear that his destination had arrived.
Behind the heavily dilapidated buildings is a hidden castle, piled up of various rubble, with broken flags and iron frames hung, like the work of an artist.
Get off the car and take off his hat to thank the carriage driver. This is a long time since he studied in etiquette class. Although he is not sure what occasion he should use, it has become part of his habit.
Walking to the weird castle, the half-covered door opened directly to him, and then the real appearance of the lower city district was revealed before his eyes.
Different from the rundown of the outside world, the luxurious here is like an inner city, like a slum to the Platinum Palace in a flash.
It was the end of October, and the weather turned cold, but Lorenzo still felt a burst of heat as soon as he entered, not only in his body but also in his heart.
The space inside is much larger than the outside. Various expensive paintings are hung on the pale gold walls. The floor is covered with silhouetted marble. The attendants with gorgeous masks are holding plates and are on the gaming tables. Bringing drinks.
The long-distance female singing on the high platform in the center drove the atmosphere of the entire casino.
The incense was ignited in the delicate iron cage for 4 weeks. It smelled good, but with a trace of stimulant, so that those who were still hesitant to bet all the chips.
This is what the lower city district really looks like.
Unlike the inner city, it is not under jurisdiction and has become a den for many nobles. They seem to be gambling, but they are turning their wealth to another channel. The amount of secret currency transactions here is an amount that is difficult for ordinary persons to reach. Of course, there will be many nobles who are looking for excitement here, they are all VIPs in the lower city district.
Burlau once said this to himself. According to Irvine’s law, everyone here has enough crimes to spend the rest of his life in prison. Of course, the aristocratic class in Old Turin will be at least one third less.
No one stops Lorenzo. Unlike the short-lived strangers outside, the people here can live a long time. They know that Lorenzo is who.
Pushing open the iron doors, Lorenzo with no difficulty came to the deepest part of the ground, and here he met the employer of this business.
The man wears a delicate silver mask with thorns and birds carved on it. Sitting behind the oak table, the whole room was filled with incense, and the singing on the phonograph slowly flowed. He closed his eyes and waved his hands like a conductor until Lorenzo’s arrival broke the world he was immersed in.
“Welcome! My friend!”
He saw Lorenzo and smiled welcome.
This is the real ruler of the lower city district, and all the gangs are Burlau, who bows down to him.
Butcher Bird Burlau.
Lorenzo sat opposite him unceremoniously and spoke directly without any kind words.
“There was nothing on that person. Before he died, the whole person was like crazy, and he couldn’t ask anything, and there was no clue to check.”
“En? Is this really the case?” Burlau took out the glass from under the table and poured his favorite wine into it. “Lorenzo, you are the best detective I have ever seen. You should not only find these, right.”
Listening to Burlau’s words, Lorenzo sighed helplessly.
“It’s just speculation.”
“What speculation?”
Hearing Lorenzo’s words, Burlau became interested, and as expected, Lorenzo Holmes would never disappoint him.
“I found his whereabouts based on drug dealers. A sailor in the lower city district, with little income, but everyday all would look for different drug dealers to buy hallucinogen. When I found him, the sailor seemed to have injected a large dose of hallucinogen. The speech was vague, and there were patrol officers everywhere near the inner city, I couldn’t ask too much…
So I speculate that something happened to him, something that shocked him so much that he can only escape by hallucinogen. “
Lorenzo’s voice was very soft, as if he was reading a permeating story.
“Why do you think it is a matter of fear.” I don’t know why Burlau cares about the word fear.
“Because I hit him in the chest with one shot, dozens of bullets pierced his heart, lungs and skeleton. Even if he inhaled hallucinogen, he would feel pain and wake up.
You must know that people are afraid of death. As long as I seduce a little bit, he will be 100 respectful to my words for the rest of his life. I ask what I ask and what to answer. “
“But he didn’t. He kept talking foreign language that I didn’t understand… Although his face was smashed by the bullets, I could see that his face was as beautiful as relief.”
“It’s as if I didn’t kill him, but saved him from a nightmare.”
Burlau was stunned when he heard this. He ignored Lorenzo’s speculation, but cared about his actions.
“You killed him? You should have brought him to me alive!”
“what?”
Lorenzo was taken aback.
“You didn’t say that you want to survive. Could you please pay attention to your identity? You are Burlau, the boss of the lower city district. The nobles in the House want you to die. The gang below want you to die. Only you die. Only then can they become the next boss.”
He directly took the wine glass and drank, he continued.
“I am thinking of you. People who know my identity more or less know the relationship between you and me, and you again emphasized that this matter should be kept secret. I guess this matter is very important, right?
They all want to bring you down, and I won’t leave them a handle on this important matter. You see it’s just a dead sailor, and no one will think of you. “
Lorenzo put down his glass and spread his hand.
“2 All the best.”
“So your 2 holistic beauty is to kill the only clue and come here for a drink?”
Burlau calmly took out a revolver from under the table. The silver metal surface was engraved with reliefs of gods and ghosts, exquisitely without firearms.
“Lorenzo, I hope you can understand one thing. You are my employee and I am your employer. You won’t get money like this, but you will get a bullet.”
Without even looking up at Lorenzo, he filled the bullet nest one after another, 5 rounds left behind, and then he turned the bullet nest and pointed the muzzle at Lorenzo.
“You are the best detective I have ever seen, but you are really stupid in doing this… so do you gamble on luck? One in 60% probability.”
Burlau looked at Lorenzo seriously, he didn’t crack a joke in this matter.
The smile on Lorenzo’s face stiffened.
“Okay, okay, you are really boring.”
With a wave of his hand, he tried to press down the muzzle, but then Burlau raised the muzzle again.
Seeing this scene, Lorenzo also knew that he could only explain the matter at gunpoint.
“I have been following that sailor for many days. His name is Wall. He is a Viking from the Northern Sea Territory. In the past few days, he wandered between several drug dealers. He didn’t even mean to return to the port. Abandoned by his captain.”
“When you gave me this case, you just asked me to investigate this person, and you said he had a secret.”
As if there was no muzzle in front of him, Lorenzo was casual again.
“To be honest, your request in this case is really ridiculous. You don’t know his secret, but you let me investigate…”
“Identity, communication, nothing, a very clean person, until I witnessed him injecting hallucinogen.”
“what happened?”
Burlau is especially concerned about Sailor Wo.
“It’s so nonsense, you know?”
Lorenzo put on an injection around his neck while talking nonsense.
“A whole hallucinogen is lethal for ordinary people. He just shot it all in, and it continued for several days. I have confirmed this from the drug dealer. He buys it every day.”
“I thought it might be a problem with Viking’s physique. After all, the pirates of their ancestors hit Old Turin directly.”
Speaking of this, Lorenzo raised his eyebrows, saying that this kind of dark history always makes him particularly happy.
“I found a Viking in the lower city district and experimented with it. After a whole hallucinogen went down, he foamed at the mouth.”
“So Wall has a problem with his body?”
Burlau grasped the key.
“Yes, there is a big problem with the body. And not only that, he is very offensive, in these few he killed at least 6 people, otherwise you think a sailor is rich. Then I did kill him, but it was also he begged me of.”
Lorenzo recalled the story of that night.
The rising white steam and the light cast by Zeppelin airship inside, Lorenzo is the dark silhouette, underneath is the twisted flesh and blood, dark red blood is in every bullet hole, the chest is violently ups and downs, and the throat is whimpering. He didn’t understand the sound, but he seemed to understand the meaning.
kill me!
Take me away!
“So I stabbed down the wound of the bullet hole with a sword.”
Lorenzo pulled out his cane, and the dark wood cracked to reveal the cold glow underneath.
“I pierced his cervical spine… the carotid artery ruptured, causing a lot of internal bleeding. He died soon, but something strange happened at this time.”
In Lorenzo’s story, Burlau couldn’t help but leaned forward, listening carefully to every word, and constructing the scene of the night in his mind.
“He should be dead… He must be dead, but his heart is still beating, beating violently. It can be said that his brain is dead, but the body is still alive, squeezing continuously blood out of the bullet holes.”
“This is a completely abnormal phenomenon. I pierced his heart with a stick and sword again. At this time, the corpse is truly dead.”
The story is over. Burlau is silent and seems to be thinking about something. Lorenzo is not in a hurry, just drinking a little wine. He is very clear that all the things that can be placed in Burlau are good things. Drinking more is a little bit.
“You should have brought his body back.”
“No need.”
“No need? You know that there is a physical problem!”
Burlau was really angry this time, it seemed that he would shoot in the next second.
“What about taking it back? You are in a casino instead of a morgue. You have a bunch of thugs but don’t even have a coroner… Do you know how many bones there are in the human body?”
Looking at Burlau disdainfully, Lorenzo continued.
“Now Wall’s body is lying in the morgue in Victoria central hospital. It was dissected by a group of forensic doctors who had been in the established by Royals Medical College and did not know how long they graduated.
Piece by piece, neatly placed on the iron frame, like a hearty human feast, every anomaly is recorded in the report strictly in accordance with the rules, and all of this is now waiting for me. take. “
Picking up his pocket watch, Lorenzo checked the time.
“There are still 2 hours before these people get off work. Do you have anything else to ask?”
