Old-time musicians

The carriage passed through the rain curtain, splashing water with fine dust.

Joan held the seat cushion with both hands: "Caron, you seem to be tanned. I think you look much healthier than before. But does this mean that the living conditions at the resort are somewhat flawed?"

Xilan rolled her eyes at her: "I'm not on vacation." She asked Xiang Fan Ning, "Is the creation going well?"

"I have completed the first draft of "Symphony No. 1"." Fan Ning touched his face and looked down at several newspapers that came to Ufranser in recent days. "How come these various gossip media are all about An anecdotal report on the 'Dream Man' incident in the South Pier area?"

He just felt that the strange man's face was a bit too photogenic.

Sheeran said: "You said at the time that when a similar incident occurred in the imperial capital of Shengtalan Castle more than 20 years ago, various media gossips and 'revelations and cross-examinations' were flying all over the place, which caused a commotion for more than a year." The little girl curled her lips, " This shows that no matter what era it is, citizens have similar preferences, and thriller news or sexy news are always the most eye-catching."

Fan Ning frowned. This matter had always made him a little uneasy, but there really was no way to start. The main focus of the guiding school was on investigating the Transcendental Club in a more specific way and fighting for the protection of labor rights.

Of course, the progress of the latter two is still not good. This organization is too remote, and the whereabouts of "Experience Officer" Erof are difficult to track. Fan Ning didn't gain anything from him at the last gathering.

As for the incident at the Jinlangnia Machinery Factory, only the watch production line was shut down, and other businesses continued as usual. The factory owner Stanley was still "working day and night" on his way of making money.

Thinking of this, Fan Ning asked: "Sheeran, how many workers have died due to exposure to abnormal substances? What are the current compensation measures for these families?"

"85 people, as of April 5th." Sheeran answered directly.

Obviously, she has been involved in this matter since she joined the Guidance School and has continued to pay attention to it.

She continued: "The current compensation for each deceased worker's family is 38 pounds, 5 shillings and 9 pence. Well, this figure is far from Monroe's expectations and is still being negotiated... But considering that the workers' families are in urgent need of money, the school is temporarily It is not advisable to adopt an overly tough attitude. It is most practical to first fulfill the current standards of the empire. For those who are in the most difficult situation, the school has also provided them with some help..."

"The peak period of death is far from coming. This is a long, painful and destined process." Fan Ning knew it in his heart.

The workshop is so large that there are probably nearly a thousand workers in it. In early March, he and Lawyer Monroe visited the workers' residential area again. More people showed obvious health symptoms, and they did not realize the seriousness of the matter. They thought it was an ordinary physical illness, and they were friendly. And easily thanked Fanning for her concern.

"Has there been anything new in the Bologna School in the past two days?" Fan Ning thought for a while and asked again.

Joan and Sheeran looked at each other, and Fan Ning keenly caught a hint of gloom on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Sheeran said: "Joan was taken away by several of their members and held for about six hours."

Fan Ning looked puzzled: "What the hell are they doing? Suddenly they have a brain convulsion? For more than a month, haven't everyone been having a war of words..."

Long before Fan Ning left Uvranser, the civil servants on both sides had started "friendly" exchanges in the distance. The Bologna School issued a document condemning the Guiding School for crossing the border without authorization and mishandling it, resulting in the death of a large number of students at the University of San Lenia. ; The Guidance School issued an article stating that the Bologna School treated students differently and did nothing, and that its intervention was to protect the infringed interests of the middle class; the Bologna School exposed the Guidance School's actual intention to meddle with its own occult literature; the Guidance School suggested that the Bologna School should first do its own Thoroughly investigate whether school members are involved in secret organizations...

And a copy of the official sealing documents was sent to the Special Inspection Office.

But why Fan Ning is said to have lived a peaceful life is because the knowledgeable members on both sides did not take any action at all, and the Special Patrol Office did not know whether they had read these official documents.

"Last night at Qiming Church, you said everything was business as usual. What happened? Why did you tell me this now?"

Qiong's brows were also tightened: "What happened early this morning, the school discovered the connection between the underground party members and Professor Lorraine's incident. The first person to discover it was you, your code name of 'Mendeleev', they already know ”

Fan Ning looked stern.

This matter was within the scope of his expectations. Fabian was so clear about the underground gathering, and he had the investigative capabilities of the Bologna School behind him. The information on both ends was like a thin film of soap that could break at any time.

However, he still tried to think about where the subtle disturbance was that allowed the Bologna School to successfully piece the information together.

Sheeran hypothesized: "I think the problem was with that operation, the way you killed the agent."

"It's very possible, but given the fighting situation at the time, I had no choice." Fan Ning nodded.

Fabian witnessed with his own eyes the sparkling transactions between "Mendeleev" and the "broker".

The Bologna School must have surveyed all the clues at the scene in detail, including some remnants of phase aura in the corridor, including the body of Spin Cecil, and there may be onlookers in the distance. As long as one of them has a little knowledge, things will be different. The means can easily be reversed.

Even Joan can master a retrospective ritual, let alone the entire St. Lenya University.

"Then, Joan was taken away, and Dean Fabian asked her to admit that the 'purple bean cake' in the underground party was her."

Fanning frowned: "If I were Fabian, and I substituted the identity of 'Mendeleev' into the many doubts before, um... the interaction between 'Mendeleev' and 'purple bean cake' at the two parties, the various clues of Professor Lorraine's incident, the relationship between Fanning and Joan in St. Lenya University... This is indeed, at least 80% probability can lock the corresponding relationship, Fabian is not a fool."

He rolled up the newspaper and looked at Joan in doubt: "So, why did the school release you in just 6 hours? If some of our previous assumptions are true, their motives are definitely not that simple..."

Purely to maintain the rules set by the authorities and the Special Patrol Office? Report those who are so-called 'spying taboos'?

Fanning would rather consider the worse angle: Fabian used the power of the Bologna School to temporarily control Joan, so that he could use it for other purposes later, such as... the School of Harmony in her vague memory! "

"It was my decision." Shiran said, "I used some methods that could be effective in the short term."

"I went to their door and told them that 'Purple Bean Cake' was me."
