A taxi passed by slowly and looked extremely shabby, driving side by side on the street. The driver in the blue hat looked out from time to time, as if he wanted to attract customers and complete his first transaction of the day.
Business.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the car body was too old, even the exterior paint was scraped into a mess. After driving around the street, the driver didn't find any customers who were willing to patronize him, so he could only leave in disappointment.
.
However, if you can see the back compartment of the taxi, you will find that it is not as shabby as you imagined. Instead, it looks extremely clean and even a bit luxurious. A middle-aged man with thick hair and sharp eyes is staring at the driver.
Back view.
This man has a typical federal face, but his chin and cheeks are shaved with green stubble. In comparison, the driver who is driving in front of him is much less trimmed, with messy beard and sunken eye sockets. He looks extremely
abjection.
If Adrien or Adolf saw this man, they might have some impression, because this is the well-known detective in the Imperial City who Lu En used as a lottery ticket to let them compete for the post of Speaker of the Blood Tribe - Moriarty!
But that was all in the past.
Due to Luen's decisive decision, the real Moriarty actually failed to defeat the one Nim pretended to be, allowing Adrien to win successfully. As the winner, Adrien magnanimously defeated Moriarty.
Di and others were handed over directly to Adolf.
To be honest, Moriarty has encountered countless dangers in his life, but there are only a handful of dangers as bizarre, absurd and fatal as this time.
He originally thought that he was dead, just like the ending he had imagined countless times, that he died quietly somewhere, and then was randomly dug into a hole and buried, and there was no trace of this person in the world again.
This kind of result has caused him to wake up in nightmares countless times late at night, making it difficult to sleep, and he knew that if he continued like this, such a result was almost inevitable.
However, every time he encounters a new incident, he always puts his worries aside instantly, as if deep in his genes, there is a desire for adventure that even he cannot control.
However, he did not die, or rather life was worse than death.
Adolf did not kill him, but the result was even more uncomfortable than killing him. His sign was smashed, the detective agency was banned, the novels he published were banned, and even his family, friends, and classmates were warned and threatened.
.
Adolph was venting his anger on Moriarty. Although he knew it was not his fault, people are not absolutely rational creatures after all. He knew what Moriarty cared about, so he destroyed it. This was better than killing him.
, there will be cruelty to come, the so-called murder and heart-breaking, nothing more than that.
For Adolf, this was just a moment of anger and was quickly forgotten, but for Moriarty, his life was completely ruined, and everyone avoided him.
Even his beloved woman Qiao Na was forced to leave him due to various pressures.
After all, Qiao Na also has parents, relatives and friends. No one can exist in isolation in this society.
Except Moriarty.
Although he is alive, in everyone's eyes, he seems to be a dead man, a living corpse, or a walking corpse.
Moriarty tried to resist and even retaliate, but the deeper he investigated, the more desperate he became.
What he was fighting against was not a person, a person with great energy and extraordinary means, but an interest group with extremely powerful energy and extraordinary means. Surrounding Adolf's vampire clan, any member could easily crush him if he put out a finger.
Broken, there is no difficulty.
And the reason why he is still alive is entirely because Adolf has...forgot about it.
Moriarty is an arrogant person. He even once wrote in a book without shame that 90% of the people in the world, in his opinion, have the same IQ as the monkeys in the tree. How can they endure this?
kind of humiliation.
But he had no choice. After living in the imperial capital for so many years, he knew the nature of the Federation. Even if he collected all the evidence against Adolf and put it on the president's desk, the president would pretend that nothing had happened.
In this world, things are never as simple as black and white, and justice may not always defeat evil. Moriarty has understood this truth long ago.
However, he did not give up. To become a famous detective, perseverance is essential. He was always secretly looking for a way to deal with Adolf, and during the investigation, he gradually discovered the existence of the vampires.
Then, he was found at the door.
Of course, I didn't come to kill him, otherwise he would have been dead by now, but I came to cooperate with him.
Naturally, the collaborator who came to his door was the middle-aged man sitting behind him, named Gomez, who was the owner of a large wine estate in the northern part of the federation. However, secretly, he had another identity. He had just held a
Complete the promotion ceremony and become a new member of the blood family.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Gomez is already a rare big shot, but among the vampires, he is almost at the bottom. There are many people who are richer, more powerful, and more powerful than him. If Adrian and
Adolf is a flower, so he is not even qualified to be a green leaf, and can only be regarded as a thorn at best.
But a thorn is also ambitious.
Luen's appearance and the earth-shaking reforms for the vampires made Gomez smell the opportunity, and he felt the charm of power in Luen's body.
Money and power are not as direct as naked strength. It doesn't matter if you have money and power. These vampires unite and can even knock down the federal president, but they have to kneel in front of the master. They are not as good as being favored.
dog!
During those hours of kneeling outside with everyone else, others were either fearful or anxious, but Gomez seemed to understand the true nature of the world!
He wants to gain powerful power, want to be favored by the Lord, and even more want to get the position of Blood Count promised by the Lord!
But he himself does not belong to the circle of the imperial capital, and he is a shrimp-level figure in both camps. To put it bluntly, no one will take him to play, let alone monopolize all the fruits of victory, so he
We can only find another way.
Before that, Moriarty was the most famous detective in the imperial capital. No matter how difficult and unsolvable the case was, he could solve it easily. He also helped Gomez solve some troubles, so he knew Moriarty clearly.
ability.
One wants revenge, while the other is blazing with ambition. The two hit it off, and even in order to win over Moriarty, Gomez revealed some secrets about the vampires to him.
A common enemy can unite people, but common interests can make people risk their lives.
Who in this world can resist the temptation of immortality?
