It was extremely quiet. The old butler looked at Lorenzo and did not respond to his words. It was not until a long time later that he spoke slowly.
"Yes, so is she here?"
Lorenzo shook his head vigorously. Judging from his skilled look, this kind of thing had happened many times.
The old butler's stiff face finally relaxed a little, and he sighed.
"Mr. Holmes, you don't mind if we search this place, do you?"
"Do I mind being useful?"
"Probably not."
The old housekeeper said calmly.
He is Stuart's supervisor, and the Stuart family is the center of the entire huge Stuart noble group. Those who became nobles as a result of the war also won more noble titles during the Glorious War.
They were grateful for the status and headed by the Stuart family.
This kind of family is the most troublesome. Maybe you can easily kill one of them, but then you will face the revenge of the entire group, all walks of life, and all different status classes.
Before he finished speaking, the old housekeeper stood up and walked towards the bathroom, not forgetting to load the gun in his hand as he walked.
He won't hurt the lady, but of course it's still possible to blow a detective's head off with his hand.
"Wait, what are you going to do!"
Lorenzo bared his teeth and claws, trying to stop him from entering, but he was still unable to do anything.
Opening the shower curtain, the old butler was only one step away from Lorenzo.
"Look...there's nothing there. Do you want to rub my lower back?"
Bubbles filled the entire water surface. Lorenzo looked harmless, but the old butler probably didn't think so. He looked at Lorenzo hard, and just when he was about to get scared, he finally stopped.
He fired his gun and turned to leave.
"If you see Miss, tell her to go home early. There is a banquet waiting for her in the family tonight."
The old butler walked to the door, but just as he was about to leave, he seemed to see something, and then turned and walked to the closet. Lorenzo's heart was hanging. As a demon hunter, he was not afraid of these people, but there were many things.
It can't be solved by just killing, like these troublesome guys.
His hand was already in front of the closet, and at this fatal moment, a gunshot rang out.
Mrs. Fanlu stood at the door with an angry look on her face, holding a revolver in her hand. The bullet left a big hole on Lorenzo's floor, with smoke rising from it.
"Who trampled on my carpet?"
This old lady came down to earth like a god and saved Lorenzo from menopause that had lasted for decades.
The old housekeeper was stunned and took back his hand, as if he realized it was him. He was about to apologize, but was slapped back by Mrs. Fanlu's angry curse.
"When you're done chatting, leave quickly!"
Lorenzo was so moved that he almost wanted to hug her.
The old housekeeper tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, but obviously this thing didn't really work in front of Mrs. Fanlu.
With one last look at Lorenzo, as if to warn him, he led his men away.
Lorenzo climbed out wrapped in a bath towel, looked downstairs and then at Mrs. Fanlu.
"If you mind if I'm covered in water, I really want to hug you."
"Compared to this, Lorenzo, the cost of repairing the floor will be deducted from your rent."
Mrs. Fanlu obviously had no good feelings towards Lorenzo, so she turned around and walked downstairs, still talking slowly.
"Remember to take the cookies with you when Seliu leaves."
Lorenzo turned his head sharply and saw that the wardrobe had been opened. The culprit looked as if nothing had happened. He still looked at Lorenzo expressionlessly. Finally, as if he was proud, he reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth.
rise.
Sometimes I have to admit that Seleucid is better than Lorenzo in many aspects, and it's not even the slightest bit like it.
"So you are trying to escape that banquet? You should have many ways to avoid it, right?"
Lorenzo finally got dressed. It didn't feel good to be naked.
"No, I just want to go somewhere, and maybe only you can take me there."
Seliu said as he put on his coat, tied up his pale blond hair, and skillfully picked up the deerstalker hat on the hanger and put it on.
If you just look at her back, you will find that she is simply a smaller version of Lorenzo.
Lorenzo looked a little ugly. As Seleus Stuart, there were not many places in Old Dunling that she could not go to. After excluding them one by one, she finally pointed to a bad place.
"What did you want to do there?"
"watch the show."
"Performance?"
Seliu nodded and said seriously.
"There is news that those pirates smuggled a batch of machinery from the East. I am very interested."
"Just because of that? You could even just buy it."
"But Yawei is very old-fashioned. He doesn't even let me touch firearms."
It seems that Lorenzo has become a tool man again, and now it is the right way to make this little girl happy as soon as possible.
He asked with a headache.
"So where is it in Xiacheng District?"
…
Night gradually enveloped Jiudunling, and two detectives, one big and one small, staggered on the street, exhaling pale hot breath from their mouths from time to time, and finally dissipated.
Lorenzo didn't have many friends in Old Dunling. After all, because of work issues, the people he dealt with were basically desperadoes, the kind who might die tomorrow.
He was not sure whether Seleucid was his friend or not, because Lorenzo and Seleucid only got to know each other because of a job. The two of them were like desperadoes walking together, walking across half of Gauluna.
Luo.
Perhaps it was the outlaw's sympathy for each other, or he couldn't bear the unlucky child to die like this. Lorenzo taught the girl many things on the way back to Old Dunling, from how to use firearms to how to use her keenness to see through people's hearts.
And she also learned very well, even looking a bit like Lorenzo.
At that time, Lorenzo even considered whether to return to the old Dunling and take her as his assistant, but when the old Dunling appeared in front of the two of them, what was waiting for him... to be precise, what was waiting for Seleu was a huge welcoming team.
A few days later, the girl was confirmed to be the lost bloodline of the Stuart family, and she was given that noble surname.
Only then did Lorenzo realize that he had been tricked by Seleucid. According to work requirements, he needed to sneak into Nalo in Gaul and bring back Seleucid. To be precise, it was some of the stories of that big shot that Seleucid knew, and this girl threatened him with this.
, and asked Lorenzo to take her back to Old Dunling.
Who would have known that it was just an illusion. From then on, the girl became extremely witty, and even Lorenzo had to admire her.
As the only heir to the Stuart family, there were many people who had thoughts about her, but in the end they were blocked outside the city wall by the Stuart group. This girl was surrounded by countless nobles, and she was now leading
She went to downtown.
Every time he thought of this, Lorenzo felt a pang of regret, as he was just a little short of glory and wealth.
"Honestly, Seliu, if you really do it for my own good, can you stop causing so much trouble?"
Relying on the mutual sympathy between the two desperadoes, Seleu often visited Lorenzo in the days when they first returned to Old Dunling. At first, the old housekeeper could tolerate it, but later Lorenzo taught her how to shoot her head off with a shot.
At this time, they really couldn't sit still.
"But none of them dare. Only you are different."
She answered calmly.
The journey was also recalled in his blue eyes. Now everyone regarded him as Stuart's master, but this lunatic was the only one who didn't care about it all. It seemed that he was still the same as before in his eyes.
The great detective carried Winchester and kicked open the dark door, and then light poured in, illuminating Seleu at that time.
