The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

For the next few days, Leo stayed in the room where he could see the perfume shop, monitoring the movement there, and only left twice in the middle to buy the newspaper of the day downstairs.

Although this method of sitting on the sidelines is too clumsy and passive, it is the best way Leo can think of now.

In the past two days, the city of Dulin appeared to be the same as usual, but in fact there was an undercurrent. There were many more police officers patrolling the streets, and agents from the Special Bureau also appeared on the streets from time to time. These agents Not only did they carry some transformed tools with extremely high-tech technology, but they also sent some extraordinary agents to follow them, including both family members and other capable people.

Judging from the contents of the newspaper, Frank Fussen did not succeed in persuading him. Hoover Hansen still decided to participate in the opening ceremony of the Naval Museum, but the previous opening time was postponed for a few days due to the influence of the murder at the International Hotel. , it seems that the navy did not completely ignore the suggestion, and the delay of these few days should be for the deployment of more comprehensive security.

However, the development of the Naval Museum is not the most concerned thing for the citizens of Durin, and even the stalemate in the negotiation of mining rights between the Kingdom and Panier is not what the citizens care about. A tour of the Kingdom of England is their main concern.

The spiritual theater troupe is a theater troupe that has only become popular in recent years. They have launched a world tour a year ago. This month, they just came to the Kingdom of England. They performed two performances in the old and new capitals respectively. The seats are full, and various drama critics are full of praise for the plays performed by the troupe.

The English people's love for drama is definitely the best in the world, and the Turin people are the first among the first. In order to allow the spiritual drama troupe to perform, they even went so far as to submit to the Congress and the royal family through the voluntary way of the Congress. Submit a voluntary motion, requesting Congress and the royal family to use a bill to order the spiritual theater troupe to perform additional performances.

This kind of behavior looks ridiculous in the eyes of people from other countries, but it has become a good talk in the Kingdom of England. Because of this kind of behavior, the spiritual drama troupe, which was supposed to end its tour in the Kingdom of England a few days ago, agreed An encore, it was definitely like a festival to the people of Durin.

The main story in the papers for two days had to do with the spiritual theater troupe, completely stealing the limelight from everything else, including the Navy's long-planned museum opening.

After Leo saw the news about the spiritual theater troupe from the newspaper, he was also curious about this theater troupe, because when he was in Port of Sete, Leo had seen news about this theater troupe from various newspapers more than once , most of them are praises for the performances of the troupe. Almost all the people who have watched the performances of this troupe said that they can feel the shock from the soul.

The spiritual shock obtained from the drama made Leo feel a little curious, because although various immersive films and televisions have matured in the Earth Federation, there has never been a movie viewer who will use his heart to watch the film when he is interviewed. They are more rational analysis from the story structure of the play itself, the plot arrangement, etc., so Leo was curious about the spiritual shock described in the newspaper, and this curiosity also made him decide to watch spirituality. The last performance of the troupe.

For the special bureau, naval security department, police and other departments, although the spiritual drama troupe has stolen the limelight of the Naval Museum, it is not a bad thing, because it will at least reduce the number of citizens participating in the opening ceremony. They were able to complete the on-site security tasks with fewer people, and thus allocated more manpower to monitor the surrounding area of ​​Qianping Square of the Museum, especially the surrounding high-rise buildings that can see the square.

It's just that they didn't know that what they did was probably useless, because the weapons in the hands of the murderer were far beyond their imagination, and the limit distance they thought would not cause any obstacles to the murderer at all.

Leo didn't intend to remind Frank Fussen, and he didn't even take the initiative to contact Frank Fussen these days, because if he couldn't find the murderer through this perfume shop, then the assassination in the ceremony was his only chance to catch the murderer. As for Hoover Hansen's life, it was not his concern.

However, just as he was waiting for the museum exhibition ceremony to begin two days later and the murderer appeared, a newspaper published a message that disrupted his plan.

"Hoover Hansen is dead?" Seeing the headlines on the front pages of all the newspapers, Leo felt that this matter was a bit weird.

I saw that, without exception, these newspapers used the front page to write the news of Hoover Hansen's death in detail, and then used large articles to describe Hoover Hansen's life. A summary of my life.

After seeing the content in the newspaper at the beginning, what Leo thought of was a trap, a trap prepared by the Kingdom of England for the murderer.

Leo felt that what they did was to take advantage of this sudden accident to disrupt the murderer's position, make her lose her composure, and come out by herself to investigate whether Hoover Hansen was dead, as long as she came out Investigate, then there must be traces to follow, and then follow the vines to find the source.

But after carefully reading the newspapers he bought, Leo felt that things might not be as simple as he thought. Hoover Hansen might really be dead, because there are many newspapers run by liberals in these newspapers , while publishing Hoover Hansen's obituary, he also attacked Hoover Hansen's series of massacres in Mozambique, calling him a butcher.

If the official falsification of Hoover Hansen's death was used to create a trap, it is absolutely impossible for some newspapers to humiliate what they consider a naval hero.

Therefore, the only possibility is that Hoover Hansen really died, but it is not known whether he was assassinated or died of natural causes due to old age and frailty.

However, in Leo’s view, Hoover Hansen’s abnormal death is very likely, because just half a month ago there was an article about Hoover Hansen’s participation in the launching ceremony of a new Navy ship. His physical condition is no worse than that of normal young people.

If Hoover Hansen had been ill recently, the Navy would not have allowed him to attend the opening ceremony of the museum, so Hoover Hansen's death happened suddenly and abnormally, so Vinlen officials used various means of concealing the truth of his death.

Although Leo was very sure that his speculation was true, he did not rush to draw conclusions, so he went downstairs and found a child who was checking leather shoes nearby, and asked the child to send a letter to him with five pence as a reward. Simple letter signed to the Special Bureau, to Frank Fussen.

Leo, who returned to the monitoring room, waited silently for the arrival of Frank Fussen. He was not at all worried that the child would not see Frank Fussen. Now that this is the case, Frank Fussen may also be looking for him. Once there is news of him, he will definitely ask. And come to him right away.

Just as Leo expected, after he waited for less than half an hour, a figure jumped in from the window on the other side of the room facing the dark alley, and after landing, he went straight to Leo's side, Said: "General Hansen is dead, he was assassinated."

"I can guess." Leo nodded, without turning his head to look at Frank Fussen, but asked directly: "Is the wound that caused his fatal injury very small, and the body tissues around the wound seem to be burnt?" It's like burnt."

"How do you know?" Frank Fussen was taken aback, staring at Leo in surprise.

Leo asked curiously, "How long is the distance?"

"According to the investigation, it was shot at the top of a Poseidon church two kilometers away from Hansen's mansion." Frank Fusen quickly answered, and at the same time looked at Leo suspiciously, and said, "Did you know that? The murderer has a weapon that can assassinate the target from a long distance?"

"Yes." Leo admitted honestly, and said.

Frank Fusen couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you say it at the time? If you said it, General Hansen would..."

"He will die as well." Leo looked at Frank Fusen disdainfully, and said, "Do you think those big figures in the kingdom will believe that there is such a weapon in the world that can assassinate at a long distance?"

Frank Fussen didn't speak, because obviously let alone those big figures in the kingdom, before confirming the location of the assassin's assassination, he also wouldn't believe that someone could kill others at such a long distance.

Now not only the police, but even the Special Bureau, the Naval Security Department and other departments have doubled the pressure. The case is more about finding out what weapon the murderer used, and taking or destroying the weapon.

Otherwise, none of the high-ranking figures in Dulin City will feel at ease, because any of them may become the next victim of this weapon.

"What have you been doing these two days? Have you found the whereabouts of the murderer?" Frank Fussen did not dwell on this issue, but asked Leo, while walking to the window and looking out, he saw the opposite After the perfume shop, I couldn't help being stunned, and asked, "Does Jilianna's perfume shop have anything to do with this matter?"

"It's a little bit related." Leo nodded, and then told Frank Fussen about the smell of perfume he found at the murder scene, the results of his investigation here, and how he waited for the murderer to appear.

After listening, Frank Fusen showed a little disappointment on his face, and said: "It is indeed a good clue, but unfortunately it is useless now, the murderer assassinated General Hansen at home in advance, and now I am afraid he has escaped from Dulin City It’s impossible to stay here until the murderer appears.”

"I don't think so." Leo refuted Frank Fussen's opinion, and said with great confidence: "Actually, I think the murderer should appear soon!"

"Why?" Frank Fussen looked at Leo puzzled.

"It's very simple, because everyone else thinks like you that the murderer has escaped from Durin City, so they will inevitably intensify their searches on the surrounding towns of Durin City, and even the harbor cities of the entire kingdom." Leo explained: "So the situation outside will be extremely severe. Checkpoints will be set up and searches will be made everywhere. Dulin City will calm down and become the safest place."

Frank Fussen froze for a moment, then fell into deep thought, nodded after a long time, and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense."

Leo continued: "In fact, we don't know much about the murderer. At most, we only know that she is a woman, maybe a survivor of the ancient clan. I don't know anything about other details, such as her appearance. Now in Dulin City, There are hundreds of thousands of people from the Mosang mainland, she doesn’t need to do anything at all, as long as she integrates into the hundreds of thousands of people, she will not have any troubles as an ordinary Mosang.”

"Yes." Frank Fussen also agreed with Leo's statement, and said very seriously: "I will transfer the person back..."

"Don't do that." Leo dissuaded, "I don't think you can transfer people back. Instead, you should increase the search efforts in surrounding cities, and let other departments cooperate with you to increase search efforts."

"You..." Frank Fussen didn't understand Leo's intention of doing this for a while, and hesitated for a while, but soon he realized what the benefits of Leo's doing were.

Once Leo's method is followed, then the surrounding area of ​​Durin City, and even all the towns in the Kingdom of England except Durin are dangerous for assassins. Only Durin is safe, so Durin is equivalent to An invisible cage traps the assassins, giving them plenty of time to find the murderer.

After listening to Leo's suggestion, Frank Fussen did not stop, and immediately rushed back to the headquarters of the special bureau, summoned his subordinates, and announced the decision to expand the surrounding search efforts, and then contacted the police and navy to cooperate with the search In the surrounding area, a series of measures such as strict inspection of ships going out to sea in the harbor.

After arranging the matter, Frank Fussen handed over the matter to his subordinates, and he returned to the hut where Leo was staying, waiting for the murderer to emerge by himself.

Although Leo analyzed the murderer's mentality and behavior well and soundly, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in it. After all, after the murderer successfully assassinated the target, it was very likely that he would run away immediately.

Because one thing they all ignored before was that the murderer did not necessarily commit the crime alone, maybe she had some accomplices, and it was impossible for the survivors of the ancient clan to survive alone.

If there is other people to assist, then she can think of a way out before the assassination, directly arrange a ship, and after the assassination is successful, she will leave the Kingdom of England by boat. In this way, all the speculations made by Leo will be in vain. up.

However, things didn't seem to be going in the worst direction. On the third day after Hoover Hansen's death, the person Leo was waiting for appeared.
