Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 40

Shane was very upset.He regretted his soft-hearted move.

The reason why he kissed Medanzo is very simple: a kiss cannot make people recover from the pain quickly-magic talent, but satisfying the other party's request can make one's guilt less.

Sean would feel guilty for misunderstanding others, but he has more important things to care about: union members have begun to check the addresses of union members, and if a hidden weapon is found, the consequences will be disastrous.At this juncture, he must eliminate his guilt.

No matter how simple things are, they may become complicated and bad because of imagination.

Mei Danzuo raised his hand to touch his face, his expression was both surprised and happy.Sean frowned, trying to say that he was just meeting the other party's request.Ke Meidanzuo supported the side of his head, as if he wanted to kiss him.Sean straightened up, took two steps back, and then explained: "Don't think too much."

Sean knew that Medanzuo's highly divergent thinking might have caused the other party to imagine his motives beyond recognition.It's like the other party weaves a beautiful dream by itself, and then gets into this hard shell called falsehood. As long as Medanzo himself doesn't want to, it will be difficult for him to pull the other party out.

Explanations are mostly useless.Sean resignedly brought up the business: "Give me back the gun."

"It was stuffed in the mailbox outside Green's mansion by me. Don't worry, the mailbox is a decoration, and all letters and newspapers will be received directly by the servants. Speaking of which, you shouldn't use revolvers. It's too outdated, and it's too fitting Lower-middle-class people. It’s not as good as an automatic pistol, and it’s easy to be suspicious.”

"I know, but we can only afford outdated stuff," Sean said quietly.This was pure falsehood, and his companions were not lacking in high society; Francis just wanted to carry the smallest possible weapon. "I have to find out who set us up. You won't interfere, will you?"

Medanzo looked into Sean's dark red eyes and said disappointedly, "You never thought of asking me for help?"

Sean laughed. "Will you tell me who did it?"

"No, but I may be able to give you some clues."

"No need. You have reservations, and I can't trust you." The guilt and helplessness in Sean's heart before had disappeared without a trace.He returned to his normal state of calm thinking. "You might feel guilty for not being able to help me, but that's not necessary. I won't be disappointed by that. I didn't have any hope for you."

Medanzo looked a little bit shocked with his head down.He took off his shirt in silence, intending to heal himself.

Sean walked to the metal door and knocked, signaling the companions outside to leave first.He heard a hiss when Medanzo raised his arm.This made him couldn't help but speak concern: "I should have broken your ribs. Can you still walk back?"

"Most of the injuries can be healed, but it takes a few days for the broken bones to recover." Medanzuo paused, then suddenly smiled at Sean. "I'm too tired and in too much pain. I'm afraid I might faint on the road. But it doesn't matter. The family should be looking for me. They will pick me up from the road."

Sean stared blankly at Medanzo.The other party already knew how to soften his heart.This method is too childish, but it works like hell. "If you're done, get dressed quickly. I'll help you out of the castle."

My precious time is being wasted because of a psycho, it sucks.He thought so when Sean put his arms around Medanzo's waist.

Medanzuo was in a much better mood than Sean.He spoke next to Sean's ear, almost holding the other's earlobe in his mouth. "Say to your companions: don't worry. After the banquet tonight, nothing happened except you kissing me."

"Thank you very much, but you can forget about that too." Sean cast a sidelong glance at Medanzuo, and helped him into the dark space full of pipes.

With the Medanzo matter settled, Sean went to Francis' house.He guessed that the other party would probably not fall asleep tonight.

And it is true.Francis opened the door for Sean seconds after the doorbell rang.His press release has been completed, neatly placed on one foot of the desk, the coffee pot is placed on the other end, and most of the tabletop is covered with materials.

Faced with all this, Sean can only say: "You are working very hard."

"I have to. The accident was against us. The homes of all those who attended the party were searched by the guards, but we were the only ones who were suspected of possessing weapons. We wanted to search the homes of all the attendees. Some of us did. Weapons, so we must quickly find the perpetrator and stop this large-scale search. I am looking at the information of the attendees." Francis poured a cup of coffee for Sean and motioned for him to sit at the table.

"Do you remember who you danced with, who you talked to?" Sean said. "I know you. If someone can steal a weapon from you, there must be something distracting you."

Francis stopped moving and his eyes flashed.When he spoke again, his voice was a little low. "Sorry, I missed it. There's only one distraction, and that's about it. I check after every dance to see if I still have my gun, but when I see her, I forget about it."

Sean said nothing.He knew that Francis was referring to the shrewd young lady.For the other party, this is likely to be a love story with a not-so-good ending. "If you have an impression of other things, then things will be solved. People at the banquet show politeness and don't get too close to other people or even bump into each other when they walk. Do you remember who touched you?"

"No one bumped into me. You also know that the servants at that banquet were only members of the Green family, and the others were all well-educated people who would not be rude. As for the union representatives, you also saw that they had How restrained...Wait." Francis' eyes lit up: "I know who it is. A man toasted to Fanny, and she didn't want to accept it, so I drank it for her. At that time, I thought he was just toasting to Fanny indirectly. His father showed his favor, so he didn't care."

Shane nodded. "It's not surprising that you think so. Her father is known as 'the man who propped up the steel sky', because the two important industries of steel and air transportation are completely controlled by him. Moreover, all the nobles have business with him Come and go. Sounds amazing."

"He is a speculator who is good at brainwashing and has no humanity."

Sean looked at Francis in surprise.He had never heard the other party speak in such a cold and ruthless tone. "How are you?"

"Hey, I'm fine, don't worry about me." Francis picked up one of the materials spread out on the table. "If it's him, it'll be easy. He's done some nasty stuff before, and as far as I know, this rising star of the businessman has no backing—not at all. Find our guns and send them to the captain of the guards." There. The guy can pick out the scent of everyone who touches that gun. I might have to make some compromises with him, but he'll do justice."

"Then besides the framer himself, he will also recognize you, me...and Medanzuo." Sean expressed his anxiety: "Leaving aside what will happen to Medanzuo, we will definitely be in trouble."

"No. I know the captain. He's a rigid, impartial enforcer, but he's also kind. He doesn't tend to anyone, he doesn't flatter or sympathize, he just keeps the peace stubbornly. I used to Having dealt with him many times in interviews, he must have recognized me, but I'm not in prison now. Besides, now that the 'crow' has changed. He's going to be very relieved that we've dropped the drastic measures. "

Sean was still a little worried.Francis saw it and pre-intercepted what Sean wanted to say. "Don't worry about it, I will arrange other people to deal with it. Compared with this, you might as well think about what to wear and what to say when you have dinner with Adam next weekend."

"He invited me to visit him?" At this point, Sean paused.He always regards Adam as the child who took over his sword, so he often ignores the objective fact that Adam is now his elder. "Mr. Adam has been very busy. I don't want to delay his business."

"Yes, he's busy. Mr. Adam suffered a bit in prison, you know what they do, bright lights, drowning. And he almost got court-martialed. But once he got out he was busy with business. , the establishment of a trade union, and the voyage mission assigned to him by the government. But he still wants to see you. I told Mr. Adam in detail the scene where you encouraged everyone. He was very excited and said that he wanted to see you alone. "Francis Come over, with curiosity in his eyes: "You just need to be there to watch, I rarely see him so excited, it's really unforgettable. I even started to guess that you are his illegitimate child, or someone else related by blood."

"You think too much." Maybe he has already guessed who I am, but it's just too unbelievable, so he wants to see me to confirm.Sean guessed silently.

Tired angry man sitting in corner of prison room.

This level of the prison houses prisoners who have committed treason and will one day be court-martialed.There was nothing in the room, the walls and doors were covered with iron sheets, and the prisoners could only sleep on the cold metal floor.The small iron window on the gate let in a faint light, and this was the only source of light.This space is too depressing, and it is easy to be anxious.

The man clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.Instead of praying to God, he cursed in the most vicious words in his head whoever took that gun and sent it to the escort.

Yes, he knew that the captain of the guard could find out who touched the gun, but he still had to take a risk.After shooting, he kicked the gun under the long table, intending to dispose of it later.But when he looked again, the gun was gone!It was taken away!

The door was opened.Due to the light stimulation, the man closed his eyes for a while.The person at the door surprised him.He knew that the person he was following could go in and out of the prison freely, even if he saved himself, it would be no problem!

But his mission failed.This is the key.

The person standing at the door took two steps forward.The man thought it was a sign of forgiveness, so he walked over excitedly, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes.

He was kicked away.But he straightened his upper body and walked back to the person who kicked him on his knees.Kicked away again, he climbed back again.He is now like a dog wagging his tail at his master, and he will continue to do so until he is rewarded or forgiven.

He wailed, "Sir, trust me! I didn't say anything! I won't tell you your name even in a court-martial!"

"Very good, obviously you remember my warning to you." The man in the dark nodded approvingly, then bent over suddenly, as if wanting to help the terrified wretch up. "But I forgot to tell you, even if you obey my order, I can't keep your life."
