Patience
Lumian is sitting at the entrance of the alley opposite Parliament Parliamentarian’s Office, mingling with a group of Vagrant.
After tracking and observation, he has roughly figured out the whole thing:
Someone from Parliamentarian’s Office found a trustworthy police officer in advance and asked him to pay attention to cases of deaths due to strange diseases in the jurisdiction, suppress similar incidents without reporting them to the corresponding Official Beyonder, and take away the evidence found and send it to Parliamentarian’s Office.
This also shows that the unhealthy young man That One spitting into the handkerchief and throwing it away knew the consequences of his actions. Otherwise, as long as he did not mention this matter, Parliamentarian’s Office That One would not go to Police Headquarters for help!
Lumian stared at the khaki four-story building, his hands clenched into fists at some point, but in the end he did not make any drastic move.
After a while, he breathed out slowly.
At this time, he saw a relatively familiar figure walking out of the door of the building where Parliamentarian’s Office was located.
The man was wearing a Medium-Height Silk Top Hat, holding a dark-colored Walking Stick in his hand, wearing a straight black formal suit, with a thick brown beard around his mouth and chin, and there were some wrinkles on the edges of the dark blue almost black Eyes.
He is Boss Bono·Goodwell of Goodwell Chemical Factory. He left the celebration dinner earlier than Savoie Gang Boss Gardner·Martin last night, and his photos occasionally appear in the news in some newspapers.
Lumian looked back and waited for a while, until That One Chief Inspector walked out of Parliamentarian’s Office alone and returned to Police Headquarters. He got up and left the entrance of the alley where many Vagrant were lying, and randomly found a Café, where he simply had a late breakfast.
When it was almost 11 o'clock, he knocked on Franca's door again.
"How is it, Official Beyonder has taken over?" Franca has already gotten up and put on her favorite white Lady’s shirt and light-colored breeches.
Lumian shook his head:
"No."
As he walked into Apartment, he further explained, "I was suppressed by a certain Chief Inspector from Police Headquarters."
"Parliamentarian’s Office Those people also know that spitting will cause problems!" Franca understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but sneered.
Lumian found a seat in the sofa area and sat down. From the time Police came to inspect the site, he continued to talk until That One Chief Inspector walked into Parliamentarian’s Office.
Franca looked into his eyes, pondered for a few seconds and said, "I know you are not willing to give in, and I know that you may have a little fire in your heart. In fact, I can understand that although that couple has nothing to do with you, after all, you tried hard to save them, but failed. Most people can sympathize with similar tragic experiences.
"But I still have to tell you, be patient, be patient, be patient, don't be impulsive, and don't take drastic measures to retaliate yourself. Those are the people around Member of Parliament. If something goes wrong, things will get very big, and you and I can't bear it."
Seeing that Lumian did not refute or show any other emotions, Franca secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still say the same thing, it is the best choice to leave this matter to Official Beyonder to investigate. I will let them know about such a case through my channels later, and point out the identity and characteristics of the suspect.
"Although at this time, the important physical evidence should have been lost, and Corpse will probably be sent for cremation through a quick process, but as long as Official Beyonder knows that there is a Extraordinary Ability who is not a normal Pathway in the jurisdiction and is eyeing the person who came out of me Divination, sooner or later his problem will be discovered."
After hearing this, Lumian nodded slowly:
"That's it."
Franca felt relieved and said after thinking, "I will hide the specific things. I will only say that Market District developed a strange disease that caused ulcers all over the body. It was suspected that a certain staff member of Parliamentarian’s Office had wrapped a handkerchief with thick phlegm, and similar things were suppressed by Police Headquarters.
"If not, Official Beyonder will probably suspect that the source of the information is you, Source, and conduct a detailed investigation on you."
Lumian said "hmm", indicating that there is no problem.
Saying goodbye to Franca, leaving White Coat Street, and walking in the direction of Breeze Ballroom, he met Jenna.
"Hey, isn't this Celia?" Lumian greeted.
This "Exaggerated Woman" is now wearing a very simple gray-blue Long Dress. Brownish Yellow's hair is half up and half hanging down naturally. There is no Cosmetics on her face. She looks very beautiful and no longer has that kind of depraved Fascination.
Hearing Charles call out his real name, Jenna gritted his teeth and said, "You should call me Jenna!"
Lumian looked her up and down:
"You were beaten by your mother with a broom? Are you ready to quit the Underground Singer circle?"
"Fuck! You just expect nothing good from me, right?" Jenna spat, "My mother is such a gentle and reasonable person, why would she hit me with a broom?"
Speaking of this, her expression became a little more proud:
"She initially objected to my singing at the Dance Hall, thinking it was dangerous and could easily lead to my degradation. But after I told her how much income I could make every week and that I didn't have to sleep with any man, she was no longer so determined and said that after work today, she would come to Breeze Ballroom to watch my performance. Damn it, what should I do?"
"How would your mother react if she saw you wearing a low-cut skirt and deliberately raising your legs while singing 'He knows how to use his fingers'?" Lumian asked deliberately.
"You will go on stage and beat me to death!" Jenna rubbed his Brownish Yellow-colored hair.
She thought for a while and said, "You don't have to wear those too revealing skirts. Didn't I try to sing in a small dress last time? The response was pretty good. Well, it's been a while. You can try again. The rest is about choosing songs. I will discuss it with Franca. She is very discerning and even composes her own music and lyrics, but they are all quite strange..."
Lumian smiled and said, "If that doesn't work out, I can ask René to hold a theme night event.
"Breeze Ballroom Tonight's theme will be 'Love'."
This could be paired with some less raunchy love songs.
"What a great idea!" Jenna's eyes lit up.
She looked at Lumian and thanked her awkwardly:
"You have a pretty smart mind, uh, fuck, thank you!"
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, Jenna instinctively glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "I also told my mother that I am good friends with Savoie Gang's 'Red Boots' and got her protection, that's why I came to Breeze Ballroom Singing, and was well protected. I went to see you that day to raise the Singing fee. Because of the relationship with Franca, you agreed.
"If my mother comes to ask you, this is how you answer."
Lumian nodded and mocked:
"You call this collusion."
"This is called well-intentioned concealment." Jenna responded happily, "At least I have to wait until I can sing for another year, save enough for tuition, and pay off the debt."
Lumian glanced at the performer Apprentice and asked thoughtfully, "Have you not considered finding a way to get the accident compensation you deserve?"
"How to get it?" Jenna opened his eyes wide and looked confused, "The court hasn't made the final decision yet Verdict."
Lumian smiled:
"Why wait for the court? Repaying debts is an act protected by 'Guardian of Commerce'. We can get it ourselves."
"That Factory owner didn't say he wouldn't compensate us. He kept appealing but had objections to the division of responsibilities and the amount of compensation..." Jenna looked at Lumian suspiciously, "You want to force him to compensate us? This is illegal!"
"Illegal?" Lumian said with a funny face, "As a Gang leader, I break the law every day. Didn't you want to assassinate Margot before to avenge your friend? At that time, why didn't you think that it was illegal?"
Jenna's words stalled and he muttered, "Margot is the leader of Gang. He has also done many bad things, and every bad thing is enough to send him to the gallows."
"So you want to punish him for the law?" Lumian said with a smile, "That Factory master may have done many bad things. We cover his face, sneak into his home, tie him up, and force him to compensate everyone, or directly ask him to hand over the money, and you can split it up in private to avoid being suspected in the follow-up investigation."
Jenna showed a troubled expression:
"I'll think about it again, I'll think about it again."
Charles is worthy of being the leader of Gang. Talking about illegal crimes is as easy as eating meat and drinking wine.
Lumian didn't give any more advice. Since Jenna wasn't in a hurry himself, there was no need for him to be in a hurry for her.
As evening approached, Lumian was sitting in Café on the second floor of Breeze Ballroom, waiting for another night to come.
He has nothing to do for the time being, so he is just waiting for Franca or Boss to help him find Auxiliary Ingredient for "Pyromaniac" Potion, which is officially Impact Sequence 7.
"Boss, what do you want to eat tonight?" Louis saw the sky getting dark and leaned over to ask Lumian.
Lumian was about to answer when he saw Jian and Tu Shuna walking up.
This "Exaggerated Woman" has changed into the Rose color Long Dress from before. The skirt is supported by bones, like an upside-down flower.
Her long Brownish Yellow-colored hair was simply pulled into a bun, and most of it was draped down in an unusually smooth manner. The makeup on her face was very light, mainly to highlight her original skin and beautiful facial features. There was a black mole in the middle of her right cheek, and she was holding a folding fan with exquisite patterns in her hand.
Louis and Sakota were both a little stunned when they saw this. They couldn't believe that this was "Little Slut" Jenna.
Jenna asked Lumian slightly nervously:
"Is that okay?"
"It's pretty good." Lumian didn't hit Jenna again.
At this moment, there was a loud rumble in the distance, the ground trembled obviously, and Café Glass Window made a crashing sound.
"Fuck, what happened?" Jenna looked out the window in shock.
Lumian stood up, reached the window, looked outside, and found that all the pedestrians were confused and a little panicked.
He looked into the distance and noticed that there seemed to be conspicuous black smoke rising to the south.
"Go and find out what happened." Lumian ordered Louis.
After Louis went downstairs, Jenna approached Lumian and saw black smoke coming from the south of Market District. He suddenly became a little nervous and worried, and felt very uneasy.
After a while, Louis returned to Café and reported to Lumian:
"Boss, it was Goodwell Chemical Factory that exploded."
With a snap, Lumian turned his head sideways and saw the fan in Jenna's hand falling to the ground.
Jenna seemed to have lost his soul in an instant, and said in a whisper, "My mother, my mother is there..."
