The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When the time was up, the guards waiting at the door walked in together with Frank Fusen, and saw Leo standing next to the learning machine, and the surrounding rooms had returned to their original state.

"How? Did you get anything?" Frank Fussen asked impatiently while the guards were inspecting the so-called artifact.

Leo didn't answer, just shook his head.

Seeing Leo's response, Frank Fussen did not show a surprised expression. He knew that countless people had tried this thing before Leo. Except for a few people who successfully obtained some weird knowledge, the others Either crazy or nothing.

In fact, at this moment, he felt very fortunate in his heart, because if Leo's situation was different, he would have to deal with a crazy and powerful transcendent, and it was still an important place like the National Bank. He was unlucky, who let him make it happen.

The artifact guards on the side quickly completed the inspection of the artifact. In fact, this kind of inspection is just a routine, because various experiments have been done before, and the artifact is indestructible. The reason for being alone in a room.

After checking, the few of them put the lid on the box again, took out the key hanging around their necks, locked the lid, and carried the things out without saying a word.

"Let's go!" Frank Fussen teased Leo with a sense of complacency as he walked out, "Now you know why I am willing to trade this qualification, right? Because this thing can only be done by luck , and I know very well that I am not a lucky person, and it seems that you are neither."

Leo, who was walking behind, didn't refute him, and Frank Fussen didn't get the response he wanted, and felt a little bored, so he didn't say anything more.

The two walked out of the basement converted from an entertainment cabin in silence, returned to the ground, walked out of the National Bank, and boarded the carriage waiting at the door.

After Frank Fussen pulled the cable beside him, indicating that the driver could leave, he took out a heavy briefcase from the hidden compartment next to the seat, put it in front of Leo, and said, "This is The reward for another transaction will be given to you in advance, and I hope you can settle the case of Deputy Envoy Panier as soon as possible."

Leo didn't take the briefcase, but just looked at Frank Fussen calmly.

Frank Fussen frowned and said, "Why do you want to go back on your word?"

Although Frank Fussen often gives people the feeling that he seems to be easy to talk to, but when he becomes serious, the aura that should belong to the director of the special bureau is naturally exuded.

Leo was not influenced by Frank Fussen, he still looked calm, and said: "I remember I said that I want all the information about the construction of the seminary and the temple of the gods," he said, his eyes glanced at the briefcase, Said: "Don't tell me that this briefcase contains all the information."

"It's true that there are not so many materials in it, but it contains the things needed to read the materials." Frank Fusen seemed to have thought that Leo would ask this question, so he quickly answered: "It's all about the information needed to view the materials." qualification documents."

"Qualification documents?" Leo was stunned, picked up the briefcase, opened it, and found that there were some official documents with stamps inside. He randomly took out one and looked at it. The right to consult a copy of materials at the National Library.

Before Leo could ask, Frank Fussen took the initiative to explain: "At first I thought there were copies of these documents in the Special Bureau, but I went back and checked and found that these documents had been removed from the archives of the Special Bureau more than ten years ago. It was taken away, divided into dozens of copies, and placed in different departments. If you want to check these materials, you can only take the supporting documents and go to each department to check them."

Leo couldn't help frowning when he heard the news, and almost thought that Frank Fussen did it on purpose, but he quickly thought about it, the director of the special bureau should not be so boring, looking for trouble and causing trouble for him, So there is no more to say.

After holding the briefcase in his hand, Leo said to Frank Fusen: "Let's go to the Wanguo Hotel."

Hearing this, Frank Fussen was slightly stunned, and immediately knocked on the wooden board behind him, gave a loud order to the driver outside, and then asked curiously: "Is the murderer in the Wanguo Hotel? Impossible inside the Wanguo Hotel All deliberate people have investigated, and none of them fit the characteristics of the murderer."

"Have you really checked everything?" Leo asked with a smile, "What about women? Have women checked it too? What about the courtesans and wandering warblers who have been hanging out in the Wanguo Hotel all year round? Have they checked it too?"

"Woman?" Frank Fussen couldn't help but startled for a moment, and his face quickly showed a pensive look.

Just like the vast majority of men in the Kingdom of England, Frank Fussen would naturally look down on women just like them, so when they discovered a murder case, the target of the murder was a powerful man, they subconsciously Just exclude women and place suspicion on men.

In addition, he knew from Leo that Pasa Cagulan turned out to be a beast soul warrior. In this way, women would not be on his suspicion list, so they all focused on the investigations in the past few days. On the men of the hotel.

Now that he heard Leo's reminder, Frank Fussen immediately realized that he had a misunderstanding in his thinking and ignored such an obvious group of search targets, which made him wonder if he was really old.

Neither of them spoke in the car, they sat quietly, their bodies swaying back and forth regularly with the bumps of the carriage.

Not long after, the carriage slowed down and stopped quickly, and the main entrance of the Wanguo Hotel appeared on the window of the carriage.

Leo didn't say hello to Frank Fussen, he got out of the carriage and entered the very deserted Wanguo Hotel. Frank Fussen also got out of the carriage and followed quickly.

After entering the lobby, Leo scanned the surroundings, then walked directly to the lobby reception counter, and asked the idle lobby manager, "Who are the socialites and wandering warblers who were doing business in your hotel on the day the murder happened?" , bring out their list."

Facing Leo's request, the lobby manager didn't react for a while, and was stunned on the spot. After all, a stranger suddenly ran over to ask for a list of courtesans. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel a little at a loss.

Seeing that the lobby manager didn't respond, Leo turned his head and said to Frank Fussen who was walking beside him, "Come on!"

"This is my ID. I hope you will cooperate with our investigation." Frank Fussen took out a ID and put it on the counter in front of the lobby manager. The ID he took out was not from the Special Bureau. Most people don't even know that there is a special department called the Special Bureau in the kingdom, and the manager of the lobby is obviously one of the ordinary people, so the certificate Frank Fussen withdrew was a senior police officer certificate from the police station.

After seeing this familiar ID, the lobby manager couldn't help but sigh. He has seen similar ID dozens of times in the past few days, so he can tell at a glance how high the police officer's rank is corresponding to this ID.

After a promise, the lobby manager immediately walked to his office, took out a folder after a while, put it on the counter, and pushed it down in front of Leo.

As one of the top three high-end hotels in the capital of the kingdom, it receives diplomatic missions from various countries or other people who are either rich or expensive all the year round. Naturally, it is necessary to carefully select some entertaining men and women to supply to the hotel guests. They must accept the investigation of the hotel, and confirm that her body and knowledge will not tarnish the reputation of the hotel before they are allowed to enter the hotel's bars, entertainment venues, bathrooms and other places to contact the hotel guests.

There are hundreds of names recorded in the list provided by the lobby manager, and most of them have been crossed out. These people either found a good place to belong and gave up this industry, or they were lost in this luxurious life, rotting and dying. .

Leo picked up the list and looked at it for a while, then pushed it back to the lobby manager, and ordered: "Mark the names of the people who were active in the hotel that night."

The lobby manager was naturally very familiar with these names, so he quickly drew circles on the list with a pen, and soon all the names were marked.

Leo took it over and looked at it again, frowned slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, because in the marked list, he did not find anyone who matched the murderer he had speculated.

Frank Fussen on the side watched Leo's movements, and he could tell that Leo was looking for the murderer, but he didn't understand what Leo was looking for, because in his opinion, Leo seemed to have just taken over the case , I haven't closed the details of the case yet, and I haven't asked him for any information related to the case, etc. Leo should know nothing about this case.

But looking at it now, it is obvious that Leo has already investigated the case clearly, and even has some speculations about who the murderer is, which makes him feel a little puzzled.

Leo ignored Frank Fussen's reaction. He repeatedly recalled the information he had collected and the results he had speculated based on the information in his mind. After confirming that there was no mistake, he thought of another possibility, so he asked the lobby manager, Said: "Have all the names of people been recorded on this list?"

"Of course it's the entire list." The lobby manager said very firmly: "As long as the socialites who are active in the hotel must register with me, they can only enter the hotel with my consent. The list of these people will be recorded in it. Will be updated..."

When the lobby manager was expressing his high professionalism, Leo noticed that the receptionist in the lobby had a look of disdain on his face, as if he didn't agree with the lobby manager's words.

"Don't talk yet!" Leo immediately raised his hand to stop the next words of the lobby manager, then pointed to the receptionist in the lobby who showed a disdainful expression just now, and said, "Tell me, besides the names on the list, are there other names?" Can a courtesan enter a hotel without this list?"

"I, I don't know anything." The receptionist in the lobby did not expect that he would be called by name suddenly, and his face immediately showed a look of panic, shaking his head and denying.

"What do you think of one more person in the police station's detention room?" Leo ignored the remarks of the receptionist in the lobby, and turned to Frank Fussen and asked.

Frank Fusen said very cooperatively: "No problem, there are many vacant rooms in the detention room. I believe he will be willing to say anything after a night's stay."

"Wait, wait! I really don't know anything." The receptionist in the lobby is obviously a newcomer with no social experience. After being intimidated by Frank Fussen, he said everything, "It's the manager! The manager will Bring some people who are not on the list into the hotel."

"You'd better explain, Mr. Manager." Leo turned his head and looked at the lobby manager coldly, and said.

"No, this is absolutely nothing, I..." Although the lobby manager tried his best to be calm and showed a look of being wronged, some other uncontrollable body language on his body had already given a completely different picture. Answer.

"I'll leave it to you." Leo said to Frank Fussen beside him without waiting for the lobby manager to speak in defense.

Frank Fusen still took the first two steps very cooperatively, and said to the lobby manager with a cold look: "Follow us honestly! It is best not to let me do it. If that is the case, you are assisting criminals in committing crimes, and the crime is different." gone."

"Wait a minute, I remember, wait a minute, I remember!" The lobby manager has a wealth of ability to perceive words and expressions, and it is easy to see from the expressions of Frank Fussen and Leo that they are not threatening, but genuine Wanting to take him to the police station, he immediately panicked and said, "There was an unregistered wandering warbler that night, but they left soon."

"How many times has that Oriole come here?" Leo asked again.

"The third time, it was a newcomer." The lobby manager quickly explained: "I just let her in because I thought she was a newcomer, she was clean, and she looked good." Is it to observe whether she adapts to this place? If she adapts to this place, then put her in the list, it is not intentional not to include him in the list. "

"Does that woman live in the Kraft neighborhood in the Garden District?" Leo asked

"Yes, yes!" The lobby manager nodded quickly and said.

"Write me her address." Leo ordered.

"Yes, yes!" The lobby manager quickly agreed, quickly wrote the address on a note, and handed it to Leo.

After Leo took the note, he and Frank Fussen immediately left the hotel, boarded the carriage, and drove towards the address written on the note.

After the lobby returned to calm, the lobby manager wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the nervousness just now, then turned his head and stared fiercely at the lobby receptionist who betrayed him, thinking about how to punish him, but then he had already He didn't have any thoughts about the whole person anymore, because he saw the hotel manager looking at him coldly, obviously the hotel manager saw everything in that scene just now.
