The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the next few days, Leo spent the next few days according to the document inspection certificate issued by Frank Fussen, running around in the library in downtown Dulin and various colleges in the suburbs, looking up all the construction materials about the seminary, as if he regarded himself as a scholar.

Frank Fusen always felt that Leo must be hiding something, so he had been sending people to monitor Leo these days, but found nothing, which made him wonder if his judgment was wrong.

In addition, although the martial law on the towns around Durin and the ships going out to sea in various seaports is perfectly executed, it is almost impossible for anyone to leave quietly in such a tight blockade, but doing so will, after all, cause serious damage to the normal travel of people and goods. The great impact may be bearable in a short period of time, but it will definitely cause complaints after a long time. So Frank Fussen must find the murderer before the complaints arise.

The search of Dulin City cannot be carried out with great fanfare, but can only be carried out secretly, so there are many things that need to be paid attention to. Dealing with the rich and powerful in the city, and getting them to cooperate with the search will take up most of the energy. Ou's attention shifted to other places.

If Frank Fussen puts all his energy and attention on Leo, with his sophistication, he can definitely see the clues from some of Leo's whereabouts, because although Leo is walking around according to the position marked on the data list these days, He consulted various materials, but the data storage point he chose to go to covered the entire inner and outer urban areas of Dulin City except the palace, and the streets he chose back and forth were also completely different, almost involving more than 80% of the streets.

When Frank Fussen reduces his attention to Leo, Leo can also feel it, because when the attitude of the superior changes, the enthusiasm of the people below will definitely change when doing things, and he can be in charge of monitoring from around The special bureau agent clearly felt it.

In fact, Leo knew from the very beginning that Frank Fussen did not trust him and sent people to spy on him. He did not show dissatisfaction with this, because this kind of surveillance would not bring any hindrance to his actions. Will help him solve some minor troubles, such as wanting to borrow some materials that are no longer on the list from the library of a certain college.

Because those monitors want to know what Leo wants to do, they will take the initiative to open some permissions for Leo to obtain more intelligence information, but they don't know that their behavior is completely within Leo's expectations. It was also the result of being deliberately guided by Leo, which enabled Leo to consult a large amount of information beyond his authority, enriching his database.

However, looking up the information is not the main purpose of Leo. He just searched the entire Durin through the route and location he chose by looking up the information, and using the spirit net, and what surprised him was that he didn't find anything. It seemed that the murderer had fled Durin City.

"Impossible? Impossible to escape." While Leo doubted his own judgment in his heart, he immediately dispelled the doubt, because judging from the previous situations, that woman must have a way to allow her to leave safely. Otherwise, she would have risked leaving immediately after assassinating Hoover Hansen instead of staying here and waiting for the limelight to subside.

Although what happened in the perfume shop shows that she has been exposed, but if she is a smart person, she will definitely see that her whereabouts have not been exposed from the martial law imposed by the Special Bureau and the police on surrounding towns, so she should not be in this terrible situation. When she leaves the Kingdom of England during the time period, she will only lurk in Dulin City, waiting for the martial law to be lifted.

After careful analysis, Leo was very sure that the woman was still in Dulin City, but the place where she was hiding must be an unexpected place.

This question didn't bother Leo for too long, and soon a news report in a newspaper attracted Leo's attention, and at the same time he felt that he had found the trace of the woman.

I saw that in this newspaper, the advertisement on the front page stated that the last performance of the spiritual theater troupe will be held tonight. The nearest seaport city leaves the kingdom by boat.

In addition, it was mentioned in the newspaper that because the members of the theater troupe are often harassed by fans and admirers, they cannot rest assured to rehearse the last play, so the head of the theater troupe asked the royal family to allow the theater troupe to stay in the palace before the performance , to facilitate rehearsal.

For this seemingly rude request, the royal family was extremely magnanimous, agreed to the request, and specially vacated an area of ​​the royal palace, and no one was allowed to enter, so that the theater troupe could rehearse with peace of mind. This decision is also positive. I believe that the royal family is very close to the people and knows how to be flexible.

What Leo focused on was that the time when the head of the drama troupe made this request happened to be the day when the woman was exposed in the perfume shop, which in his opinion was not just a coincidence.

After confirming the target, Leo found the customer service on the hotel floor and told him the request: "Prepare me a ticket for today's performance by the spiritual drama troupe."

The floor customer service quickly responded: "Sorry, the tickets for the performance of the spiritual drama troupe have already been sold out, and the tickets for our hotel have also been booked by other guests."

Leo frowned and said, "Please ask the customers who booked the tickets, I am willing to buy them at a high price."

The customer service on the floor shook his head slightly, and said, "Sorry, I don't think those few guests who made reservations should be short of money."

Hearing this, Leo suddenly remembered that almost all the people living in this hotel were rich, so naturally they would not be willing to sell the tickets they had in hand.

"If you don't mind, I still have a ticket on hand, which I can transfer to you." At this time, a slightly familiar voice sounded behind Leo and said.

Leo turned his head to look behind him, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, because he knew the person who came, and it was the old man Rembrandt's personal maid, Vaschi.

"Long time no see, Mr. Leo." Vaschi was wearing a very decent high-necked pleated dress, with a black gauze hat half-covering her face slanted on her head, looking very elegant and decent.

"Aren't you in Miria?" Leo asked.

Vaschi explained: "Miria's affairs are over, and I have now returned to work with my husband."

Leo frowned and said, "Shouldn't that be in the Mosang Continent?"

Vaschi responded simply: "This time I came to the Kingdom of England for other things."

Leo was silent for a while, and asked abruptly, "How long have you been in Dulin?"

"Before you come." Vashj quickly responded: "Is your room suitable now?"

Leo heard the words, but did not respond, and walked towards his room, followed by Vaschi, and the two entered the room one after the other. Vaschi closed the door, and then walked to the bar of the room like the owner of the room , picked up a bottle of wine, got a glass of wine for herself and Leo, picked them up and put them on the tea table next to Leo, while she herself sat opposite Leo.

"You have something to do with the woman who killed Pasa Cagulan and Hoover Hansen?" Leo asked straightforwardly after Vaschi sat down.

"Why do you think so?" Although Vaschi didn't admit it, he didn't deny it either.

Leo said calmly: "You probably didn't know that I live here today, but you just came out to meet me now, and it was when I mentioned the spiritual drama troupe, what do you think I should think at this time? "

Vaschi smiled, shook the wine glass in his hand, put it on the table without drinking, and said, "I knew it when you stayed in this hotel. I didn't plan to meet you at first. You always encounter some bad things when you meet," she said with a slightly ugly look on her face, as if she had thought of something bad, but she quickly returned to normal, and continued: "But you now I have found the spiritual theater troupe, so if I don’t come out to meet you again, I’m afraid that woman will fall into your hands. Although my relationship with her is not good, she is still working for Mr. What she did this time has nothing to do with her husband, so I have to save her."

"Isn't Pasa Kagulan a student of Mr. Leo?" Leo frowned and asked.

"Mr. has too many students, but there are only a few students that he really admits." Vaschi looked at Leo meaningfully, and then said: "Pasa Kagulan is not qualified to be admitted by Mr. admit."

Leo asked again, "Why did Pasa Cagulan investigate me?"

"Speaking of which, it's also my fault that Mr. has not kept his mouth shut." Vaschi smiled wryly, and said, "Because Mr. has said more than once that you are the only one who can unlock the mysteries of prehistoric civilization ruins besides him, Pasa. Kagulan came to the Kingdom of England to investigate you, probably because of this reason."

Leo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Pasa Cagulan's explanation was not lying. It was indeed because the old man Rembrandt often mentioned him that he came to investigate him, but he also didn't tell the truth. Obviously, when investigating him He didn't have any good intentions. It is conceivable that if the information obtained by the black market shows that he is just an ordinary scholar, Pasa Kagulan may have already taken people abducted.

Leo suddenly thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Does he have items from prehistoric civilization?"

Vaschi curled her lips, and said with a bored face: "It's really boring to talk to someone like you, and you can guess the whole thing in a few words."

Leo said again: "In this way, Pasa Cagulan's death was not an accident, it was aimed at that prehistoric civilization item."

"It can't be entirely for the prehistoric cultural relics." Vaschi shook his head and said: "The Kagulan family came from one of the tribes that betrayed the ancient tribe back then, and Pasa Kagulan is also from the Kagulan family. It is not without reason that he was killed."

Leo looked at Vaschi meaningfully, and said, "Is this the only reason? Is there no other reason?"

Vaschi curled her lips and said, "I really don't like talking to people like you. You always look like you're being seen through." She hesitated a little, but said truthfully, "It's actually very simple. Some people don't want The agreement on the mining rights of Panier has been negotiated, not only on the Mozambique continent, but also on the Kingdom of England."

"The countries on the mainland of Mozambique don't want this agreement to be negotiated. I can understand it. After all, they don't want the resources in their hands to be poached so easily." Leo nodded in understanding first, but quickly Asked suspiciously: "But what about the Kingdom of England? Shouldn't the Kingdom of England be dissatisfied with this agreement?"

"It's very simple, because the benefits are uneven." Vaschi smiled contemptuously, as if laughing at the behavior of some people, and said: "Once the agreement is negotiated, all the ores mined through the agreement will be given priority to those under the control of the navy." Smelters and shipyards. All the ore will be used to make ships first, and the rest will be used for other purposes.”

When Leo heard this, relevant information appeared in his mind. Although the current political situation in the Kingdom of England is dominated by the confrontation and balance between the royal family and the Congress, it does not mean that the political forces in the Kingdom of England are only the royal family and Congress. Nobles and military nobles have considerable influence in the kingdom, and among these political forces, the military's political power has always been a very important political force, and can even affect the direction of the political situation.

However, the military is also not harmonious. The bad relationship between the army and the navy is hardly a secret in the kingdom. Especially this time, the battle between the kingdom's army and the French Empire did not gain the upper hand. The Venaya Port, the only stronghold in the Vinaya Continent, has made the navy more influential within the military. Some people even think that the army should be abolished, incorporated into the navy, and become a naval landing combat force.

Now the navy has almost become synonymous with the military department, and its political power is huge. There is no doubt that if the content of the mining agreement is really dominated by the navy, then once the agreement is negotiated, the power of the navy will definitely multiply and become a kingdom. Nor is there necessarily a third force on the political table.

"It's no wonder that only a deputy envoy died, and the murderer was from the Mosang Continent, but the negotiations with the Kingdom have reached a deadlock. It turns out that the root cause is not Panier, but the Kingdom." Leo murmured to himself. Said: "The assassination of Hoover Hansen is also to suppress the political influence of the Navy?"

Leo remembered that the opening of the Naval Museum was not only to highlight the past achievements of the Navy, but also to pave the way for Hoover Hansen to enter politics. There has been news that Hoover Hansen will be in a few months. , Retire all his military posts, and participate in the general election of members of the House of Commons as a civilian.

If there is no accident, with Hoover Hansen's status as a naval hero and his connections in the past, his election to the House of Commons can be said to be a sure thing. In another two years, as long as he makes no mistakes, he will continue to run for the House of Commons It is not impossible for the speaker, in that case, the Navy will have absolute control over the House of Commons. I am afraid that neither the royal family nor the Congress would like to see such a result.
