When it comes to the prosperity of Old Dunling, the first thing that everyone thinks of is basically the inner city, which is the area where the wealth of the entire Old Dunling is most concentrated. It is different from the "royal area" in the center of Old Dunling that is protected by guards and high walls.
, this is the last place most nobles can come into contact with.
This place is covered with electricity, and at night it is brightly lit, and you can see people walking around in tall buildings. Their figures are cast on the ground by the light, spreading out in a blurry and broken shape. As the steam rises, even on the edge of the inner city
You can also smell the intoxicating aroma of wine.
The streets are full of new-style cars. Because they have extremely high requirements for road conditions, most of them can only move in the inner city. But even so, the rich still spend a lot of money to buy this seemingly useless thing, just because it represents
The most cutting-edge technology, and this is a status symbol.
Lorenzo sat at the dining table on the balcony, overlooking the peaceful sleeping form of the city.
This location is very good. Sitting here, you can observe the situation of the entire neighborhood. Although it is already dark, there is no such thing as darkness in the inner city. Bright electric lights light up every corner.
This is the position of a hunter. No matter what abnormality occurs, Lorenzo can detect it immediately. If he has a new sniper rifle from the Mechanical Institute in his hand, he can easily kill everyone in sight from this position.
Of course, Lorenzo is a detective, not a cold-blooded killer, and he is not a pervert who enjoys killing.
The table is already filled with food, and now it's just waiting for the arrival of another guest.
Looking down at her pocket watch, she was already ten minutes late.
But Lorenzo is not in a hurry. It is now 11:20, and there is still some time before the end of the night, so it is not considered a rush.
There were many pedestrians on the streets, and it was obviously almost midnight, but it seemed like a beautiful day had just begun.
Looking at the pairs of figures leaving, Lorenzo was thinking when a figure sat down.
Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Lorenzo was stunned, and then the etiquette class taught him that he should give him a good compliment now.
"Hmm...very good."
The girl in front of her is really dressed up, gorgeous but not vulgar, as if she is a social butterfly who often attends balls.
Lorenzo knew very well that the girl was not pretending on purpose, it was just the difference in family atmosphere since birth.
So temperament is really a mysterious thing. Lorenzo can imitate anyone, but he can't always grasp the key temperament.
"You asked me out just to eat?"
Eve looked at Lorenzo. This detective had always been so mysterious, appearing and disappearing suddenly, leaving only a letter about today's itinerary.
"Of course, only when you are full can you have the strength to work, right?"
As Lorenzo said this, he picked up the knife and fork and started eating. This man really looked like a hungry wolf.
Eve sighed, a person like Lorenzo would not do meaningless things, he must have a purpose, but he refused to say it now.
"Have you made all the preparations I asked you to do?"
It was really ugly to eat and talk at the same time, but Lorenzo didn't care about that anymore, he had long forgotten about the etiquette lessons.
This is the inner city, and this meal can eat up most of his salary, so he will not give up enjoying it.
Eve leaned back slightly, she didn't want the oil to splash on her skirt.
"I've done it all...what do you want to do?"
The letter Lorenzo left contained a bunch of strange requests, such as dressing more formally but wearing casual clothes under your skirt, and also requiring him to bring weapons and money.
It took a lot of effort for Eve to put a close-fitting dress under her long skirt. Similarly, the ribbons on her thighs were also covered with weapons. The girl didn't even dare to walk fast for fear of making a metallic knocking sound.
.
Suddenly I remembered the Killer Queen in the story. That charming woman would hide the flexible and sharp iron pieces under her clothes. When she embraced a man passionately, she would pull out the metal and bring out a scarlet. At this moment, Eve
The only difference between her and her is that what she pulls out is not the iron piece but the Bonin 91 pistol.
Lorenzo wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. It felt good to have a full meal. He might not know when the next time would be for such a luxurious meal.
"For your career and mine, Detective."
Raise your glass and drink it all in one gulp.
Lorenzo tidied up his clothes, and then Eve discovered that under the black and gray windbreaker was neat white clothes, and the black top hat was put aside, as if he was going to a ball.
"You need to solve the case to make sure you don't get fired, and I need to solve the case to make sure my employer doesn't kill me."
Lorenzo put on his top hat, picked up his cane, found a fake beard from somewhere, and stuck it on his lips.
"You should have brought money, right?"
After sorting everything out, Lorenzo asked Eve. The girl hummed and took out her bag.
Lorenzo nodded and then said.
"I'm looking for you today because I want you to attend a dance with me. After all, going alone is always a bit of an eyesore. I need a female companion."
"Then what does this have to do with our career?"
"Because this dance is hosted by Sabo."
Lorenzo stretched out his hand gracefully and pulled Eve to her feet. The girl gently put her hand on his shoulder. The two had an extraordinary tacit understanding.
"Who is he?"
"A gang boss, a Viking, manages a gang called the Green Sharks, who mainly do finishing work for smuggled goods from the port of Rendona."
Pulling this beautiful lady, Lorenzo didn't mean it but he felt that he was the center of attention here. The detective was really amazing in his dress.
"The gangster who stopped us that day belonged to him. We will definitely be able to pry something out from his mouth."
"Pry out what?"
"Intelligence. Whether it is who he works for or the cause of Wall's death, there will be an answer there. If we are lucky, we can also tie him directly to Su Alan Hall."
The cane tapped the ground gently, kidnapping was no problem for the great detective.
"Believe me, detective, as the leader of a gang, his value is much more precious than the case you are currently pursuing. You will become a new star in the police world."
"Kidnapping is a crime, and how can we try him without evidence?"
Eve is still a person who abides by the law at heart. Compared with Lorenzo, an unprincipled lunatic, she is too noble.
"Saab is from the lower town. From a legal point of view, he is not a citizen of Inverg at all. Even if you kill him, no one will hold him accountable.
Su Yalan Hall has always wanted to carve out a stronghold in Xiacheng District. They can tolerate the existence of this trash can in Xiacheng District, but it must be under official control. The reason why Sabo has been alive is because Su Yalan Hall cannot find a chance."
Lorenzo showed a slightly despicable smile. As he spoke, he picked up Eve's bag and dug out several coins with lions printed on them. This is the official currency of Yin Erweg, issued by Victoria.
The Queen ordered it to be cast.
As he spoke, Lorenzo handed the money to the waiter, smiled and then pulled Eve away from here.
Eve just watched Lorenzo go through her bag and take the money. She was stunned for a long time before she spoke slowly.
"what is this?"
"What's wrong with your treat?" Lorenzo didn't feel ashamed at all.
"Don't look at it. You don't have much money. You are the little princess of the Phoenix family. Don't look like I've framed you for millions, okay?"
Lorenzo said reluctantly.
"According to the income list of the city hall, I am a low-income group."
He didn't lie. Lorenzo did want to work in a serious detective agency at first, but unfortunately he was not serious. A noble lady entrusted him to catch his mistress. In the end, in order to chase the escaping carriage, he shot out the wheel of the mistress.
The unfortunate husband rolled around his lover three times before stopping.
Afterwards, the mistress suffered a fracture and went to the hospital. The noble lady who entrusted her heard that she went to the hospital and gave her another fracture. As for the husband, he thought Lorenzo was sent by the noble lady to shoot him, but the noble lady still had an old love.
He let him go, so he changed his ways with tears.
Everything was happy, but it was a pity that Lorenzo's rough behavior discouraged most employers. In the end, only Shrike would give him some cases to make a living.
The economic condition is not good, and Lorenzo is in urgent need of money to pay this month's rent, otherwise Mrs. Verde will shoot him dead.
"You know what? I'm so poor that I can't even afford bullets. Are you interested in supporting me?"
Just listening to Lorenzo's nagging, Eve gained a new understanding of this damn detective.
