Chapter 587 Enrollment

Good sound insulation and undisturbed environment make this place a dead world.

Yang Yuanyuan sat quietly on a chair in the side hall of the library, dappled by candlelight, and the surrounding tall bookshelves and dark curtains made the environment extremely dark.

Smelling the faint smell of ink in the air, she stretched herself. Although she didn't eat or drink for three whole days, the girl still felt good.

On its side, there are seven neatly arranged bookshelves, which are nearly four meters high, and there are also small ladders for people to take books.

"Finally figured it out..."

The square table is full of books, including classic church works, collections of folk poetry, and old and yellowed personal diaries. Without exception, they are all hand-copied orphans.

Yang Yuanyuan quickly etched those boring words deeply into her mind, and then put them back in order. Some especially important orphan copies were burned until there was no ashes left.

Compared with other actors, she has a special philosophy of action, and she is not in a hurry to investigate on the spot, but does the opposite, visiting major libraries in the city alone, in order to find a few words about the truth from written records.

Of course, there was another special reason for doing this: the competition was the investigation team headed by Lu Li.

At the same time, a figure in a black windbreaker walked into the library of King's College.

There was no time for Duke to reminisce about the past, he noticed the aura left by someone's activities nearby.

"Analysis of Dreams", "Herbology and Mental Patients", "Complete Explanation of Human Anatomy"...

Translations, manuscripts, parchments, and printed books are worthy of being a comprehensive university jointly founded by the Emperor and the Duke of Wellington. There are many books in the library, including deluxe editions wrapped in cardboard and magnificent covers, and old books bound by cable .

As far as he could see, most of them were medical classics and theological works, but Duke didn't stop. He walked straight to the side hall, holding two silver coins engraved with heraldry in his hand.

And Yang Yuanyuan also sensed that someone was approaching, so she couldn't help speeding up her movements, and burned all the books scattered on the table.

In this way, I should be the only one in the world who knows this secret.

Of course, this is too absolute to say, but at least it can be concluded that there are very few people in the London area who know the inside story, no matter who the visitor is, there is room for maneuver.

Is there a player who plays first?

Or, which hard-working student stays up late at night to come here to explore the truth?

Both of them were a little nervous, but not very serious. Duke was more confident in his strength, and Yang Yuanyuan was more confident in his own value.

Candlelight shines through the gaps between the books.

Duke saw a figure in a black smock. The person's face was shrouded in darkness, but it was not difficult to see that it was a woman through the outline of the body.

The blonde she met the night before?

The thought disappeared in a flash, the other party's figure was not so mediocre, with a protruding front and back, which was extremely hot. As for the one in the side hall, his figure is not mediocre, but he has nothing to do with hookers.

"Who are you?"

The moment the mysterious man turned the corner, her muscles tensed up, and her strength gathered in her body so that she could explode at any time.

Hearing this, Duke, who was about to let go and let the silver coin fall to the ground, stopped.

"Long time no see, you have to be glad you didn't attack first." Duke whispered.

And this voice sounded like the sounds of nature to Yang Yuanyuan, who was highly nervous, because the relationship between her and Duke was pretty good.

"Um."

Looking at the two silver coins exuding a dangerous atmosphere, Yang Yuanyuan nodded calmly, agreeing with Duke's statement.

Who can defeat a person who has won the title of top student many times in a row?

Probably only those two people.

The figures of Lu Li and Pan Ming came to Yang Yuanyuan's mind. The key is that the relationship between the three of them is ridiculously good. Even if she is in the next class, she has already heard about it.

After thinking for a moment, she put down her guard completely, put the cowhide book in her hand that was only one-sixth of the burnt book on the table, and said helplessly:

"As you can see, everything is gone."

"But I'm sure you've got things firmly in your mind."

Duke shrugged his shoulders and invited, "Let's go to the next park and have a sit? There are a lot of delicious food there, and it just so happens that the rain has stopped."

Can I say no?

Yang Yuanyuan hesitated to speak, after experiencing so many things, no one can continue to be naive, she responded with a smile: "Of course, I haven't eaten for nearly three days, and I haven't had a drop of water."

"You've been staying here? Perhaps, Pan Ming's side is going to be empty."

"Well, where did he go?"

"City Library."

"There is a high probability that this is the case. In fact, I went there the afternoon I received the mission."

The two walked and chatted.

Compared with the East End, Westminster and its surrounding areas, everything is so tightly organized.

The simple stalls made of canvas and iron sheets, like mushrooms emerging after the rain, filled the square.

Among them, there are middle-class people who go shopping at the night market after a busy day, young people who can't get more pocket money but are chasing trends, and citizens from the Eastern District who have received a few years of education and come here specially to set up stalls.

"What do you want to eat? Please."

Duke was full of pride.

For him, meeting Yang Yuanyuan was definitely a surprise. After all, the other party must have a lot of secrets, so he doesn't need to waste time investigating.

"Have some pudding first."

The pudding in Whitechapel is light, greasy and firm, while the pudding in the West End is softer, with raisins and dried strawberries added, and the price is more expensive.

For the next period of time, the two tacitly did not talk about "cooperation", and the local tyrant Duke took Yang Yuanyuan to wander around.

Grilled shellfish, muffins made of fresh meat, salmon with fennel, fish offal soup, meatballs, cheese and ham...

About half an hour later, Yang Yuanyuan finally had her stomach full. She was wandering in the windy night street with a box of hot mashed potatoes.

"What about Lu Li, haven't you been with him all the time?"

"I'm going to track down the murderer. Pan Ming and I will split up and go to all the libraries in the city to find clues."

"Supreme Mother God?" Yang Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, as if she had already guessed Duke's target.

"That's right."

The topic is gradually getting on the right track.

Dozens of streets away, the Garrett mansion.

Lady Vanessa was restrained, and two handcuffs, one on the left and one on the right, fixed her on the bed.

At first, she thought it was a "cute oriental boy" trying to play some kind of sentiment, but as time went by, a terrifying reality came before her:

It seems that he was kidnapped at home.

"What do you want? Money, or real estate, I can give them all."

Hearing this, Bai Yu couldn't help cursing bad luck in his heart, because of this scene, he was taken too much advantage by this bold woman.

The same was true for Zhao Feng who was standing beside him. He pushed aside the splinter and waved his hand out the window, finally no longer having to restrain his emotions.

Because the situation is under control.

And downstairs.

Butler Mace slowly closed the drawer, and put a well-crafted seven-shot runner into the inner pocket of the coat.

After a long period of ideological struggle, he finally decided to have a good talk with his wife tonight, whether to leave the depraved city of Wudu, or be shot to death by an insignificant small pistol.

"For the honor of the family... For the honor of the family, this is not a crime, it is to clean up the house."

After murmuring a few words in a low voice, the old butler's gaze became firm. He first went to the kitchen, packed the hot coffee and fresh biscuits that had been brewed in advance, and then walked upstairs.

In the room, the light was dimmed.

Lu Li sat on a seat far away from the bed, his face blurred in the shadow.

"Ms. Vanessa, Baron Garrett's widow after his death, arrived in London about two months ago."

Police Officer Wensley restrained his steady temperament, and asked in a cold tone: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"

On the side, Bai Yu and Zhao Feng put their arms around their chests, squinted their eyes slightly, and cooperated with this boring performance.

If the police officer is not there, there is no need to be so troublesome, just a show of force.

"I was in free love."

The baroness subconsciously defended herself. When she saw Lu Li leading Officer Wensley break through the window, she immediately thought that a crime had happened.

However, until now, she has slowly realized that her husband has passed away, as long as she finds a reliable lawyer, the charge cannot be established, and at most she will be criticized on a moral level.

"According to the law, any law enforcement agency has only 48 hours of closed detention power for suspects. Once this time is exceeded, they must go to the judicial process."

After thinking it over, Wensley, who represented justice, not only did not play a role, but gave Vanessa courage. She believed that no one would dare to commit murder in front of a senior police superintendent.

The baroness tugged on the two handcuffs that fixed her, and said with a threatening tone, "If there is no search warrant and interrogation warrant, please release me."

"And, if you want to continue the interrogation, you have to show evidence."

In the room, it became silent.

Everyone looked at this woman who felt good about herself with strange eyes.

"Did you not understand the situation?" Lu Li sighed helplessly, "You are involved in a major case, there is no legal process to go through, and we don't need to provide any evidence."

As he said that, Lu Li raised his eyes to look at the door, and signaled Bai Yu to solve the trouble.

Just like that, the room fell silent again.

In fact, what he has to do is very simple, that is, let the woman in front of him cooperate obediently and stop messing around.

If you can control the blonde, everyone wins——

Lu Li completed the mission and led the team to fight the Tully Street fire case;

The Duchess, who was destined to be slaughtered, was lucky enough to save her life. It doesn't matter how she plays with the lover knights, as long as she doesn't touch the bottom line of the law.

click.

The moment the door opened from the inside, the old butler was stunned. He didn't expect so many people to be crowded in the room, and they were all neatly dressed.

In addition, my wife is undergoing...interrogation in a strange posture?

"It's so late, what's your business?"

Bai Yu pulled him into the room, locked the door with his backhand, and looked directly at Mace.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, the butler still sensed something strange, raised the tray in his hand, and prevaricated: "The kitchen has baked some snacks for the night, and I want to ask the three of you if you are hungry."

"I didn't expect Officer Wensley to be here, did something happen?"

Metz turned against the guest.

Wensley, on the other hand, was full of black lines. He had never encountered such a situation. He had no evidence, no law, and went directly to control important people related to the case.

The whole process is efficient and rough, but it is easy to attract complaints.

At that time, I have a headache.

However, out of self-knowledge and directness, the police officer decided to trust Lu Li, and said solemnly:

"Your wife is in connection with a serious case under Scotland Yard's undercover investigation."

"Serious case? With all due respect, her private life is indeed very messy, but it must have nothing to do with the serious case. There should be some misunderstanding."

Due to the sudden situation, Metz suppressed the killing intent in his heart, with a smile on his face, and interceded: "Why don't you open the handcuffs first, and let's go downstairs to the reception room to have a chat?"

Seeing the old butler speak for herself, the countess was a little moved, but she didn't feel ashamed.

For such a person, shame is worthless.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door again, and Gao Qian brought back two women from the next room——

Mrs. Ivans and Mrs. Akers.

In this way, everyone is here.

Perhaps out of some evil intention, Zhao Feng asked Officer Wensley to borrow two more handcuffs, and handcuffed the three of them together.

"Okay, I won't waste time playing riddles anymore, let's get back to business."

Seeing that Officer Wensley failed to frighten him, Lu Li threw a copy of the backup file onto the bed.

"There is a criminal organization targeting the three, and we will be in charge of security in the following time."

"Then why didn't we discuss it in advance and insisted on using this method? With all due respect, this is not at all the way Scotland Yard behaves."

As she spoke, the Countess looked at Wensley, who claimed to be a senior police superintendent, obviously having doubts about her identity.

It's a pity that Wensley had already completely given up his dominance. He felt that as long as he could successfully solve the case, the police would be able to bear all the consequences.

"Before speaking, it is recommended to take a look at the archives. After reading it, it is not too late for you to express your opinion."

Finally, with the help of two best friends, the countess, whose hands were bound, saw the document.

A description of the murder scene, complete with black and white photographs, and a forensic autopsy report.

"The identity of the deceased was a wandering warbler. She kept in touch with several men at the same time and died in an alley some time ago."

"Prior to this, there have been at least 40 similar cases, including wandering warblers, ballet dancers, and thrill-seeking noble ladies."

Following Lu Li's description, the three of them began to panic. They have no sense of shame, but it doesn't mean they have lost their ability to think.

"That tricky criminal organization, composed of heretics, with strange methods, has been operating in and around the Whitechapel area."

"Relevant evidence shows that the scope of the hunting ground has expanded, and Her Majesty the Countess is the next target..."

Before she finished speaking, Vanessa's face was full of fear, and she lost her voice: "If there is no such rainstorm, I should go to the Whitechapel area."

"Fortunately I didn't go."

Lu Li said meaningfully: "But the hunter will come after him, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night, and it's not impossible to commit crimes during the day."
