My harem is a bit big

Claude raised his head slightly, probably his subordinate.

The guys in the church pay special attention to the sense of ritual and never run away.

Not long after, a foreigner with red hair and gray eyes arrived.

He gasped and held the door frame with one hand:

"Lord Claude, we found Eve. But..."

"but what?"

"She's dead."

……

075 It's all here

"what?"

Claude secretly gasped, unable to believe his ears:

"You said Eve died?"

Now there is no news about Catherine, and finding her is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But at this juncture, her apprentice died.

Is God even going to be his enemy?

Subordinate Edward put his left hand on his right shoulder and bowed slightly:

"Yes, Lord Claude. In order to avoid errors in the intelligence, I went to confirm it before rushing back to report to you."

Claude's face quickly fell.

Such bad news is not what he wants to hear:

"Where is the body?"

"St. John's Hospital."

Claude took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, stood up and said:

"Come on, take me to see it."

The two walked through the corridor and left the empty Shanks restaurant.

Ride the steam sedan outside and head to your destination.

On the way, Claude narrowed his eyes and looked at Edward:

"Where did you find the body?"

"The black market in the south of the city."

He looked surprised, obviously he had never heard of this place:

"Black market? Where is it?"

"In order to trade, our country's and local businessmen broke through some of the border walls and built several trading points far away from the crossroads, collectively known as the black market. The military personnel guarding nearby should have received the benefits and turned a blind eye to this. Close one eye. That's where Eve's body was found."

“Damn, is there a list of relevant traders?”

Edward grinned bitterly and shook his head:

"Sir, the black market is a gray area, where there is a mixture of good and bad. Even if people from the church go to investigate, they will not get any benefit. It is too difficult to trace it from them."

Originally, Claude could take tough measures.

Threaten to shut down the black market and force them to provide information.

Unfortunately, the armory was blown up by Catherine.

Without weapons as a deterrent, Yue Bu Luo Heavy Industry is just a large-scale private enterprise in the Eagle Kingdom.

Claude has now angered the church and the Truth Society.

If we continue to anger the military personnel, we will undoubtedly make enemies on all sides.

Such a situation would make Yuebuluo Heavy Industries difficult to operate in Wanguo City.

Not long after, the steam train arrived at its destination.

After Claude got out of the car, he frowned slightly and ordered:

"Edward, lead the way."

The two of them stepped in and headed to the morgue on the first floor.

This place was originally a large underground wine cellar owned by a merchant in the south of the city, and was later occupied by St. John's Hospital.

In the closed environment, a faint aroma of wine spreads everywhere.

They found the doctor on duty and explained their purpose.

The other party opened the door and let the two of them pass.

As the largest private enterprise in Eagle Country, Yuebuluo Heavy Industry covers a wide range of fields.

Some of the equipment and parts for this hospital are produced by them.

After the doctor learned the identities of the two people, he was very polite to Claude:

"Sir, I have already inspected the body, and I suggest you not to inspect it."

"why?"

"The deceased had suffered very severe abuse during his lifetime. Except for his face, which was intact, there was no part of his body that was good."

Claude's pupils shrank and asked:

"Can you back out the crime tool based on the wound?"

"I'm sorry, sir. There are many different types of trauma on the deceased, and it is impossible to identify them. But what is certain is that only in barbaric lands where God cannot care, such vicious villains would be born."

While talking, the three of them came to the depths of the morgue.

A corpse was placed on the long table, covered with white cloth.

Claude walked up to him without flinching.

Come here.

It's really unreasonable to leave without taking a look.

Seeing their resolute attitude, the doctor took the initiative to lift the white cloth.

Claude only glanced at it and immediately covered his mouth, feeling a little nauseous.

The doctor quickly covered him with a white cloth and stood beside him, smiling apologetically.

I’ve told you not to read it, it’s because you’re unhappy with it.

Claude was speechless and turned around to leave the morgue.

He and Professor Catherine had a grudge before in Eagle Country.

The power engine invention she made caused heavy losses to Yue Bu Luo Heavy Industry.

A year ago, the Royal Fleet of the Eagle Kingdom defeated the Xia Dynasty's reorganized navy at sea.

Later, a contract was signed to obtain the southern part of Wanguo City and other port cities.

As a pioneer in expanding overseas markets, Yuebuluo Heavy Industry has been very active.

Send Claude over and try to build an outpost.

The Church and the Truth Society have no base in Wanguo City, so they entrusted Yuebuluo Heavy Industries to take care of Professor Catherine.

At the beginning, the two parties got along fairly well.

Until half a month ago, Claude received instructions from his superiors.

Ask him to find out the core technology of the steam airship power furnace from Catherine.

After questioning to no avail, Claude led people to rummage through the boxes.

Unfortunately, no relevant drawings were found.

Unable to deliver, he destroyed the machine shop.

Later, it was Catherine who slipped into the branch of Yuebuluo Heavy Industries.

Use her homemade time-delay bomb to detonate the armory.

Eve, a little girl with freckles on her face, is Catherine's closest disciple.

If something unexpected happens to her, there is a high probability that something will happen to the professor as well.

It's okay to die.

If they were allowed to develop a steam airship, it would be a heavy blow to Yuebuluo Heavy Industry.

The emergence of new technologies means that there must be victims under the replacement.

"Let's go back to the branch first."

Claude got on the steam car and thought seriously in his mind.

Later, you can ask someone to report to the senior management of Yuebuluo Heavy Industry.

It shows that Professor Catherine's research invention will shake the foundation of the enterprise.

In this way, for the sake of long-term interests, the higher-ups will try their best to protect themselves.

Not only is there no punishment, there may also be rewards!

After the steam train leaves, the priest who appears at Shanks' restaurant steps out of the shadows.

Next to him stood a shining knight wearing heavy armor and strong muscles.

The two entered St. John's Hospital to investigate what Claude had just done.

They need to find Professor Catherine as soon as possible and bring her back to Eagle Country safely.
