ps: I feel that the job of a revenge planner is very suitable for Earl, please ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket.

Chapter 320 That night, the sound of the bell seemed to echo in my ears

Xicheng District, the headquarters of Moriarty's villa.

Yan Qing and Wu Ming returned safely after completing the assassination, and at the same time brought first-hand information to Moriarty. The operation to eradicate the Quinn family has entered the final stage.

"Although so many things happened in one night, the only thing that has attracted the attention of the Empire's officials is the fire in the Quinn family mansion. The rest of the sail club, the gang headquarters, and the assassinations in various places have not been exposed yet."

In the study, Moriarty, who was smoking a pipe, flipped through the information in his hand. If he couldn't get a cigar, he could only smoke a pipe like Holmes reluctantly.

"No, the death of the general who defended the city may have alerted the empire."

Wu Ming, who stood with arms folded, reminded aloud that although his methods were so quick that there were no flaws, no one knew whether there would be any experts in solving crimes in this area, and he used his brains to connect everything together.

"Hehe, it won't be so fast."

"It is a serious dereliction of duty to guard the city and drink. After the general falls from the building, his subordinates will definitely be in chaos. If these people don't want to be sentenced to death, they will definitely help cover up the delay."

Moriarty's insight into people's hearts is obviously extremely accurate, and he can control the other party's psychological activities even if he is not present at the scene. Without this ability, he would not be able to command and commit many major crimes remotely.

Because sometimes, just a few small hints are enough for Moriarty to get the desired result without breaking the law, so even if he knows that he is behind the scenes, it is still useless.

"Furthermore, our goal is to completely eradicate the other party. If you beat a snake to death, you will suffer from it. Even if the empire is not aware of the relationship, I am going to expose it by spreading public opinion."

Moriarty puffed out smoke rings. Although he had already started to eliminate the key members of human smuggling and trafficking, and successfully paralyzed the criminal industry chain, there were still many accomplices and accomplices who had not been eliminated.

"Although the empire is decaying, the current emperor and ministers are not stupid. Although the laws of the empire are full of loopholes, they are still quite effective. The next thing is to use official power."

Hearing what Moriarty said, Yan Qing, who stood leaning against the wall, opened her eyes, and seemed to be quite touched, and sighed:

"Is it justified? Moreover, after the empire takes action, it will definitely start to remove the smuggling and trafficking offline outside the imperial capital. This can be regarded as handing over the clues directly to the desk of the chief of their security bureau."

"That's right, and we want to take advantage of the busy time of the empire to expand the underground forces. This action has completely swayed the name of 'Shinjuku'. I think they understand how the rest of the organization forces should deal with themselves."

After finishing speaking, Moriarty took the last puff of his pipe, swept the matter of the Quinn family into the garbage dump of his mind, and stopped asking about it. Instead, he began to think about the future, that is, which industries he should get involved in.

First of all, he himself needs a double identity.

In addition to being the boss behind the Shinjuku organization, Moriarty needs an identity that can walk on the bright side. He was a mathematics professor at a university in his previous life, so it seems that he can also find a way to sneak into the scientific research field in this empire.

Secondly, in order to cover up the huge underground empire that has been established, Baidao naturally needs various commercial businesses to help cover up.

Taverns, hotels, shops, carriage and horse dealerships and other formal industries can try to get involved, and other places where the three religions and nine schools gather must also need to be stationed, and support and control of local gangs is also indispensable.

Compared with the cannibalistic nobles in the imperial capital, Moriarty has a much more conscience. Apart from being convenient for collecting information, these places can also provide a little shelter for the poor people at the bottom.

He can even do more charity than Schindler. After all, those Jews do not get paid for heavy labor in the factory, and he not only manages lunch and work meals, but also distributes wages according to work.

In the end, Edmund's revenge planner's proposal is quite interesting, but it can only be regarded as a personal career for amateur entertainment. Anyway, helping people plan perfect crimes is also a good job.

Of course, the reason why Moriarty agreed to the cooperation proposed by Edmund was not all out of interest, but because the huge plan mentioned above could not be promoted by himself, so he needed strong helpers and foreign aid.

And the Count of Monte Cristo has successfully entered the elite circle of the empire, so naturally there is no more reliable ally than the other party, who can give a lot of support in all aspects, and everyone can win together.

After drafting all the plans, Moriarty paused the pen, and went through it in detail from beginning to end. A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself:

"However, thinking of me as the 'Napoleon of crime', I didn't expect that there would be a day when I could play a positive role? What a twist of fate."

Just when Edmund and Moriarty had finalized their plans for the future, Hassans, who had completed the assassination commission, met at the appointed place.

Except for Shadow Lantern, Cursed Wrist and Kuxinzi completed the task immediately after, while Tranquility and Baimao were the slowest.

Such a result was not caused by the difference in strength, but because the tasks assigned to the two were already messy and varied, and after the assassination, a certain degree of processing was required to cover up the corpse.

After the four met, they reconfirmed the task entrustment to completely eliminate possible mistakes and omissions. Since they took the employer's money, they naturally needed to do the job beautifully.

This is the most basic contract spirit.

"I'll go to Mr. Moriarty's again tomorrow night to settle the remaining money."

While speaking, the curse wrist kept the assassination order close to him, while Baimao stood aside and urged:

"Okay, it's time for us to go back. The boss of Shadow Lantern left a secret sign here. He has already completed the commission and returned."

Accompanied by the dim moonlit night, Hassan and the others fled away and ran to the small building not far from the agreed place. This was also done to prevent possible stalkers from being brought back to the base camp all at once.

"Huh? Why is the door still half open?"

The curse wrist that fell into the courtyard first found an abnormality, but did not perceive any danger.

"Maybe Lord Shadow Lantern left the door for us?"

Jing Mi guessed casually, but Bai Mao didn't think too much, and walked forward carelessly.

"Maybe, I just forgot to turn it off, let's go in quickly."

Watching Baimao go up and push the door, she didn't say anything to the fanatic who was at the back of the line, but a trace of madness flashed in her originally calm eyes, and she instinctively fell into the state of a fanatic.

Just as Baimao put his hand on the door, bursts of bells broke the silence of the night sky and came from afar. Although the sound was not very penetrating, it could still be heard clearly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the endless ringing of the bell, Baimao pushed open the door, and at a glance saw the old man of the mountain staring straight at the door, and the shadow lantern standing silently at the side.

"First...First Generation...First Generation Master!! Hiccup—"

Listening to the bell ringing in his ears, and looking at the skull mask in front of him that seemed to be burning with the fire of the underworld, Bai Maang, who was the first to suffer, almost fainted from fright, but Jing Mi followed behind and quickly supported her.

But in fact, the state of Tranquility and Curse Wrist is not much better, especially seeing the old man of the mountain with the accompaniment of the bell, which simply indicates that the end is coming.

Just when the three of them were at a loss, Fan Xinzi, who was originally at the back, stepped into the house, raised his hood, knelt down and bowed his head, saying:

"My lord, the old man in the mountain No. 20. The leader of the [-]th generation is crazy about Hassan, and I extend my most loyal greetings to you."

Seeing that Kuangxinzi had already set an example, Curse Wrist, Tranquility and Baimao quickly imitated the example, followed by half-kneeling to perform the salute.

Now they have come to their senses, regardless of whether the old man came to the door to chop off his head with a knife, the courtesy he should have is still not to be lost.

Glancing at the well-behaved disciples and grandchildren in front of him, the old man of the mountain followed the open gate and looked into the distance. Hearing the sound of the twelve bells gradually dissipating, he murmured to himself:

"Is it twelve o'clock at midnight? I didn't expect that there is a bell tower to tell the time in this imperial capital."

ps: Second update

ps: Ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket.

Chapter 320 Go, demolish the clock tower

The voice of the man on the mountain talking to himself was not loud, but it was enough for the Hassans of all generations in the room to hear clearly.

Assassin is a profession that needs to listen to six directions and see all directions. If you really lose this basic skill, it will not be too late for the real evening bell to fall.

Laziness, depravity, deterioration and decay, these are the things my father hates the most.

Each generation of Hassan had lost his head once due to various reasons. Now that he has become a Heroic Spirit, he has naturally improved, at least he will not make the same mistake again.

Except for the fanatic whose expression remained unchanged, Manju Wrist, Tranquility, and Baimao were obviously relieved, and even the seemingly unhindered Shadow Lantern slightly relaxed his tense body.

For all these reactions, the old man of the mountain naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it, silently skipping it as if he didn't notice anything, and asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me, what did you do when you came back so late?"

Hearing the words of the old man on the mountain who asked knowingly, the half-kneeling fanatic responded without hesitation:

"Reporting to the first generation of adults, I have received an assassination commission from 'Shinjuku', and tonight is the time to deal with it."

The old man on the mountain was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and intuitively felt that the matter was not simple, as if there was a deep inside story hidden in this operation.

"Assassination commission from 'Shinjuku'?"

"Yes, 'Shinjuku' is an organization established locally by Professor James Moriarty, and this assassination commission is also for the purpose of purging and deterring."

Kuang Xinzi nodded affirmatively, and directly revealed the whole situation of his employer.

Such actions are against the professional ethics of a killer, but once the girl's inner beliefs become fanatical, she will not care about these things at all.

What's more, this is still reporting to the old man of the mountain. Even if she doesn't say it, it's just a matter of turning around to figure out everything with the old man's ability, so there is no need to hide it.

"Moriarty? Besides him, who else is in the capital?"

The old man of the mountain was a little curious about this, and he was not surprised why so many heroic spirits appeared, because after thinking about it, he knew that King Solomon, who was in charge of controlling the gate of the realm, must be lazy again.

"Returning to the first generation of adults, Yan Qing, Wu Ming, Mary, the Cave King, the Ripper, and Frankenstein are all in the imperial capital now. In addition, according to Moriarty, some time ago, I saw Kong Ming and Iskandar. trace."

Shadow Lantern, who was in charge of collecting spying information, responded. With his heaven-defying ability, he even went in and wandered around the Imperial Palace for several times, and even invaded the arsenal where Teigu was kept.

"Kong Ming? He's on vacation? Didn't work overtime?"

The old man of the mountain was a little surprised. He was a little unbelievable because he didn't know about the leave issue in the community. He really didn't expect Gilgamesh to grant Kong Ming a leave.

"Could it be that the hero king is kind-hearted? However, since Kong Ming is on vacation, it seems that the work of Mei Lin and Mei Li will be a lot heavier."

In fact, it really is.

Compared to Kong Ming, who is "complaining, but still working hard", Meilin and Meili belong to the complete opposite lazy cancer of "never work unless whipped". Advanced karoshi.

It was a great opportunity to ask for leave and skip work that day, and Kong Ming and others seized the excellent opportunity because they went to work early.

But Merlin and Meili are late for work every day, and when they want to fish in troubled waters and run away, Enkidu and Gilgamesh's domestic violence is over.

Originally, due to Enkidu's negligence, more than half of the community's staff disappeared. Adhering to the spirit of mending the situation after the sheep was replaced, Gilgamesh naturally couldn't let the rest of them run away.

As for old fritters like Merlin and Meili, Gilgamesh almost took out the handcuffs and shackles from the treasure house and locked them up on the spot, letting them spend 24 hours a day dealing with a mountain of work.

Anyway, they are all heroic spirits. As long as the related epic legends are not wiped out, there is no such thing as exhaustion.

Knowing the general situation from the mouths of Hassan, the old man of the mountain has also learned about the affairs of the community, but he is not prepared to intervene to help, because Ying Zheng and Gilgamesh can handle it well.

The man on the mountain didn't ask too much about what happened to Hassans tonight. It was nothing more than a routine job of "taking people's money and doing things for others".

Although it was just a work inspection that happened to happen, the old man of the mountain was quite satisfied with the result. No one needs to be punished with the traditional beheading sanction. Before leaving, he exhorted:

"Keep in mind the rules of the order. If you deviate from the path of the old man in the mountain, I will not show mercy."

The old man of the mountain came and went without a trace, and by the time the Hassans reacted, there was no figure in the house, only a faint blue ghost fire remained.

The frozen and silent atmosphere lasted for another 5 minutes. After it was confirmed that the old man had really left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed like an avalanche, without the oppression of facing death like before.

When Baimao stood up from the ground, her legs were still trembling. Earlier, she really thought that she was going to confess here, but she didn't expect to come back with her life in a twist of fate.

"Scared... scared me to death..."

Seeing Baimao's panting and deep breathing appearance, Curse Wrist and Tranquility nodded empathetically. They really didn't expect that after happily completing the commission, what greeted them when they returned home was the scariest horror movie.

Although the Hassans wear skull masks and fly around the walls every day, the skull mask of the old man on the mountain is the last thing they want to see, because it will remind everyone of the painful memories when they were dying.

"Although I already knew that the old man of the mountain is in this world, I didn't expect to meet him so soon."

An Jing sat on the stool and played with the dagger in her hand, and held the mask she just took off in the other hand, with a happy smile on her face.

"Hehe, it's good to see the first-generation adults sooner, at least you don't need to be as worried as before."

The curse wrist's ability to resist pressure is obviously stronger, and the awe in my heart is greater than the fear, thinking about how to stand on the saddle and serve loyally for the first generation of adults.

Kuang Xinzi calmed down and returned to a normal state. The excited little girl regained her composure. Sitting at the dining table, she had already tore up the still warm roast chicken. It seemed that she was hungry.

Shadow Lantern raised his hand in greeting, motioning for everyone to come over for supper, and Curse Wrist and Jing Mi responded immediately.

Only Baimao Hassan sat on the ground and rested for a while, and when he regained his strength, he jumped up and walked out the door without looking back.

"Eat first, I'll go and tear down that damn clock tower and come back!!"

ps: My roommate had a birthday yesterday and drank it, so...

ps: The update will be added in the past few days, I wish everyone can play sword style and Fujino.

Chapter 320 Ernest, you know nothing about power

The next day.

With the rapid spread of the rumors spread by Moriarty, the cases that occurred in various places in the imperial capital were discovered and reported to the police department one by one.

However, the imperial officials had not received any news before, so they were unable to effectively control public opinion at all, exposing all crimes nakedly to the sun.

For a time, there was an uproar in the court, and the crowd was furious.
