Chapter 586 The Attacking Boy Group
"Well, that man seems to be Sergeant Wensley of Scotland Yard."
"What are the police doing here?"
"Keep your voice down. That guy is not an ordinary little policeman. He seems to be a beloved apprentice selected by Haval Vincent himself, a senior superintendent."
After hearing the name Vincent, the capitalists and politicians who had been discussing business and cooperation not far away scattered as if they were avoiding the plague, and did not continue talking until they ran away.
Haver Vincent, the reinventor of Scotland Yard, who saved the police from being outlawed in the age of private detectives—
Sixteen years ago, Scotland Yard, already known for its low detection rate and passive sabotage, was involved in a corruption case. Among the five police departments, four directors participated in setting up bets.
Before the Queen ordered a thorough investigation, Vincent, who had retreated to the second line, immediately stood up and sent all the participants to court without covering up one person.
Not only that, some congressmen related to this case also lost their skins, either handing over their rights or paying huge fines.
Under such circumstances, the old man set up a criminal investigation department and mobilized elite police forces to deal with major cases, saving Scotland Yard the last bit of face.
Although this is a good thing, the general environment of the country is that the management class does nothing and only cares about making money for themselves. Suddenly, an old man with integrity and a bottom line appears.
Therefore, even Police Officer Wensley became the God of Plague, and the nobles and businessmen were afraid to avoid him, so they couldn't be in the mood to join him.
"It's much cleaner."
Lu Li was half lying on the sofa, with a glass of iced brandy on the coffee table in front of him.
No food, no fruit, not even a hors d'oeuvres.
Since he has participated in many high-profile evening parties and has a wide range of knowledge, for Lu Li, this evening party is just like that, just sit quietly in a corner and wait for the target person to appear.
However, Your Excellency the Countess feels that this is the best social place in Wudu City, with delicious food and fine wine, everything is available, looking along the line of sight——
The luxurious hall was full of guests in luxurious dresses, and in the aisle, neatly uniformed male servants kept delivering glasses of chilled red wine or brandy.
What satisfied her most was that the chef prepared candied partridges for the guests as requested, as well as various fruit products, such as stewed apples and chestnut soup.
"I heard that there are some strange guests here?"
Jerry made a casual gesture, and the servant next to him trotted over, and responded, "There are indeed some strange guests who are here for the first time, and they are holding anonymous invitation cards."
"Where?"
The countess' face was reddish, and there was a tremolo in her voice, as if she was thinking about something.
"Excuse me."
Suddenly, the voice came back by itself, and Zhao Feng, who looked obviously exotic, passed by the side of the baroness, with a formulaic smile on his face.
In order to protect the woman and make sure that she would not be killed before Lu Li arrived, he hid in the nearby bathroom and eavesdropped on the whole scene. Fortunately, the time was not too long, about ten minutes.
"This gentleman, who are you?"
Before coming, Zhao Feng specially dressed up, not to mention shaving off all the beard, and used peppermint-flavored hair oil to style his hair.
The look of greasy hair and pink face just hit the heart of the countess.
"My friend couldn't come due to something, so he gave me an invitation letter." Zhao Feng said calmly.
If nothing else happened, the friend he was talking about should still be sleeping in the trash can. In the next few days, I am afraid that he will be accompanied by a cold.
"can we talk?"
Regardless of Jerry's gloomy face, the baroness sent out an invitation, which surprised Zhao Feng, who was worried that he would not have a chance to get close to the target.
"certainly."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze downstairs.
In a corner of the hall near the wall, Zhao Feng found Lu Li. They were sitting on a row of side-by-side sofas without armrests. In addition, there are no strange guests sitting there, all of them are our own people.
"Let's go to the sofa to talk? I just introduced a few friends to you." Zhao Feng warmly invited instead of customers.
Just like that, three figures came down the stairs, and Jerry's little cousin was one body behind. Since he hadn't received the money yet, he was reluctant to leave, especially when he worked so hard just now.
In fact, Lu Li had noticed the Countess a long time ago. When he saw the Countess chatting and laughing happily with his other younger brother, he couldn't help saying to Bai Yu: "It seems that the plan has changed, you play by ear."
Hearing this, the helplessness on Bai Yu's face dissipated a little. He didn't want to sacrifice himself to accompany a dissolute woman, if there was another choice.
Why don't you go, boss?
In fact, this sentence has been held in Bai Yu's heart for a long time. In terms of appearance, few people can hold back Lu Li.
However, when the baroness was walking this way, Lu Li performed what is called a low-key domineering act on the spot.
Looking at the facial features alone, they still haven't changed, but when they are combined with temperament, they all become ordinary, and the whole person is as inconspicuous as a passerby.
Magical skill!
The first time he saw it, Lu Li made up his mind to learn it, not only because of the powerful boost it brought after mastering the skill, but also because it helped reduce trouble.
For example, damn girly!
No one likes passers-by, right?
Frankly speaking, Lu Li really hated his face, he could attract beautiful girls wherever he went, and he was not very good at rejecting...
Just as he was thinking, a greasy voice came.
"Several, welcome to my banquet."
Lady Vanessa greeted everyone with a smile, and sat down next to Bai Yu, with Zhao Feng beside her.
Two very oriental boys.
To be honest, the Countess really didn't expect how many surprises today's dinner would bring her.
But, how to conquer them with charm?
If only she likes money and real estate like her little cousin or the two men she met a while ago, she's not short of those things.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Countess."
Bai Yu was a little restrained, and when he thought of the task assigned to him by the boss, and the seductive eyes of the woman beside him, he felt shivering in his heart.
If the other party kept a clean life and never touched anyone else after her husband died, Bai would also be willing to make do with it and sell herself out.
It's a pity that Bai Yu has already heard about the other party's story. You must know that before Lu Li's arrival, several guests were still discussing with great interest the story between Her Majesty the Countess and the thirty lovers and knights.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Lu Li and Wen Si's expressions were as usual, their attitudes were not very enthusiastic, they just responded lightly.
Of course, Vanessa didn't care either.
Wensley has good facial features, a tall stature, and a very powerful position. Many noble ladies want to have something to do with him, but in the view of the Countess, this police officer has a dangerous hairline and is not too young. Small, almost thirty years old.
The third younger brother, Gao Qian, is not ugly, but he has nothing to do with being stunning.
As for Lu Li...
An ordinary man who almost forgets at a glance, might as well be Gao Qian.
Ms. Kamio, who is far away in the depths of the universe, would never have imagined that there would be such a blind woman in the world who would use Lu Li as a backdrop.
In this way, Bai Yu and Zhao Feng began to cater to this dissolute lady.
There is no way, Boss Lu, who doesn't want to be a light bulb, let alone watch people flirt, hinted with his eyes to the two younger brothers before leaving that this woman must be taken down tonight.
"Hey, friend, what is the origin of your two partners?"
On the other side, Jerry chased after him, put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder, and said in a bad tone.
"Who are you."
Lu Li frowned.
Although he has already guessed that this is the first Jerry brother in the diary who gave the deceased cousin a cuckold, he still pretends not to know him.
Almost at the same time, Officer Wensley, who was standing beside him, grabbed the hand, lowered his voice, and warned, "If you don't want to go to jail for a few days, you'd better settle down."
"I didn't break the law."
Jerry is not afraid of threats, even if he heard from the management that the other party is from Scotland Yard.
"No crime? The crime of adultery has not been abolished. Twenty years ago, it would have been hanged in public."
As he said that, Officer Wensley sensed that the other party was guilty, and his strength of resistance was getting weaker and weaker. He continued: "Although the world has been declining these years, and some laws are useless, if you meet a law enforcement officer who is willing to pursue , what do you think will happen?"
"Maybe you will find some politician friends to help intercede and hire a lawyer to defend your innocence, but these will take time. During the detention period, I may send you to Newgate Prison or Millbank Prison."
The former has just installed a new gallows, and the prisoners can see the tall wooden stakes and corpses through the windows; the latter, known for its messiness, is the place where cholera first broke out.
Hearing these two places, the little cousin immediately fainted. He didn't dare to pester Lu Li any more, and walked towards the dining table in a daze. He was just a run-down nobleman, and he didn't dare to conflict with powerful people.
At the same time, Jerry sighed in his heart:
The bitch Vanessa is finished, there must be some big event on the table, and Scotland Yard deliberately arranged for her.
But what crime can a stupid woman commit?
After about half an hour.
Bai Yu found Lu Li who was drinking by the dance floor, and said in a sad tone, "Boss, it worked, that woman let us stay here overnight."
us?
Wensley felt a chill. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such an unclean woman existed in this country that believed in Jesus.
"What's the end of the banquet?"
"It has to last until one o'clock in the middle of the night. She said that if Zhao Feng can't wait, he can go up to Lele with her first."
"That guy doesn't really want the Countess to have a dewy affair, does he?"
"How is it possible? She suppressed the discomfort and performed it, but she believed it was true."
As a cosplayer, what kind of beautiful woman has never seen before, classic, gentle, modern... Only when my mind is trapped by the door can I be interested in a woman who behaves dissolutely.
"Hang her up first, and control her when the guests leave."
"receive."
Looking at the back of Bai Yu leaving with his wine glass, Lu Li thought for a few seconds, looked at Gao Qian who was doing nothing beside him, and said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to do, I will arrange something for you."
In an instant, Gao Qian's expression changed.
Unlike before, he knew this boss too well, so he definitely wouldn't arrange anything good.
"In addition to the Countess, she also has two good friends with similar personalities, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Axe. Are you confident in getting a relationship with them?"
"Don't feel aggrieved, the rare event participation, you also know that it's rare to see a few of them in the whole city. With the habit of a murderer, there is a high probability that they will do it."
In the end, Gao Qian nodded helplessly, holding the cup to find the target.
Frankly, it's not that hard, just look for the most unrestrained woman on the dance floor.
Twelve midnight.
All the boys Lu Li sent out got something.
Bai Yu and Zhao Feng coaxed Her Majesty to such an extent that she couldn't find Bei, and she lay on the sofa and giggled; room to sit.
As for Police Officer Wensley, he was really tired of this kind of flashy and extravagant atmosphere. Hearing that there was a Roman-style bath in the mansion, he simply went in for a dip.
"The meeting will end in forty minutes. Let's clean up and pretend to leave first."
In the mist of water, Lu Li took a sip of tea. The mellow tea soup from the Indian colony, paired with milk, left a lingering mellow taste on his tongue.
"A cup of tea from a noble family is enough for a poor family to eat for ten days. I guess there is still some left over. How can he?"
After saying that, Officer Wensley stood up and walked out of the antique bath along the marble steps.
The two began to put on their clothes.
Looking at Lu Li's muscular body, the gentleman seemed to have forgotten his troubles, and couldn't help joking, "Oh, isn't this physique just what those noble ladies desire?"
Fortunately, when taking a bath, I wore a towel around my body, otherwise the level of jokes would be even more terrifying.
"This topic is really embarrassing. Let's talk about the case?"
"All right."
Wensley shrugged, put away his joking thoughts, and asked while putting on his clothes, "Why are you sure that the murderer is after this woman? You know, Scotland Yard invested too much in this operation."
"Because we only found this one clue worthy of further investigation, we can only gamble." Lu Li sighed, not wanting to explain too much.
And Police Officer Wensley wouldn't ask questions, he just had this kind of character, he just sighed:
"I hope I can bet right. It was a rare quiet night in Whitechapel last night, but I am deeply disturbed. I worry that those members of the heretics are targeting the City of Finance, or the West End."
"If the three women in the hall are dead, it can prove that the Midnight Butcher has started to expand his hunting range. After all, she likes to kill unclean people, so there is no reason to let Your Excellency the Countess and the two noble ladies go."
"she?"
Wensley was keenly aware of Lu Li's words.
"That's right, before the truth emerges, don't be limited by inertial thinking. Maybe the pagan believers are a group of women."
"Perhaps, this world is really getting more and more crazy. The Unclean, the Lover Knight, and the Supreme Mother Goddess that you and Mr. Holmes talk about."
The conversation gradually died down.
the other side of the city.
Duke knocked off the ash, held it in his mouth, walked quickly through the corridor connecting the management room, pushed open the library door, and at the same time, lifted the collar of the windbreaker up.
