Chapter 95: 94 Precious Flower and Bobby Laien
94 Precious Flower and Bobby Laien
Do you want to hear what you are saying?
After hearing Leon's answer, the female police officer's expression could no longer be described as complicated.
A person whose remarks were considered radical among the rebels had just interrogated a high-level rebel, and the questions asked seemed very fatal, forcing the other party to commit suicide by hitting the wall.
And after he finished interrogating the rebel, while telling her to be careful about the Laien family jumping over the wall in a hurry, he told her calmly that he was going to the Laien family to recognize relatives in a while…
No… which side are you on?
The female police officer, who was completely confused by Leon's reply, although she had ten thousand questions she wanted to ask in her heart, seeing his tired expression, she was embarrassed to disturb him again, so she sat on the other side with the unconscious female prisoner.
……
Because the entire carriage was "chartered," there was no need to slow down and stop frequently to take care of passengers getting on and off, and in order to arrive at the station early to get rid of these troublesome passengers, the speed of the steam carriage was raised to the maximum.
Under the blessing of various reasons, the carriage arrived at Red Cedar Avenue, where the Laien family was located, in less than half the usual time, and then hurriedly invited these "plague gods" off the carriage.
And Leon, who had taken a nap on the carriage, had recovered a little physical strength, his complexion looked much better, and after getting off the carriage and being blown by the cold wind, no abnormality could be seen.
Ignoring the female police officer's hesitant look, after taking the sheep's head and the broom, Leon identified the environment around Red Cedar Avenue, and then walked toward the two giant trees nearly a hundred meters high at the end of Red Cedar Avenue.
Yes, Red Cedar Avenue was just like its name, really planted with two incomparably huge red cedar trees.
This kind of giant tree with reddish-brown bark, which can exceed a hundred meters at its highest and has an average chest diameter of more than eight meters, generally should not appear in an industrial city like the Capital, and even more so should not appear on Red Cedar Avenue, where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold.
But for certain groups, these did not constitute problems, and even the more difficult and unreasonable things were, the more they could highlight their superiority and uniqueness.
The two red cedar trees at the end of Red Cedar Avenue were transplanted forcibly by the Wang Shi from hundreds of miles away for such a purpose, and finally given as gifts to the two most noble noble families in the Wang Guo, planted at the gates of their private manors respectively.
According to the Wang Shi's original statement, they hoped to use this tree species, which can live for up to a thousand years, to imply that the two most loyal supporters of the Wang Shi could be passed down from generation to generation with the country.
Unfortunately, the Wang Shi, who spent a lot of effort to send these two giant trees, was truly a bit self-indulgent.
The Precious Flower family didn't last many years after receiving the cedar trees before forcibly launching a violent coup, attempting to overthrow the Wang Shi completely, and finally, after being betrayed, the whole family was executed; the execution platform was set up under the cedar tree given to their family.
And the other family, although they didn't launch a coup, also changed from the Lionheart family that was keen on pioneering and expanding territory to the Laien family, known as one of the three major tumors of the Wang Guo, becoming a huge hidden sore growing on the heart of the entire Wang Guo…
Honestly, these two trees are so unlucky, maybe there is a saying.
Relying on the credentials of the Cleaning Bureau, after successfully entering this private road that was not open to the public, Leon did not appreciate the villas and gardens of various sizes on both sides, but walked past the magnificent buildings one by one, heading straight for his goal.
「Eh? You went the wrong way! 」
Seeing that Leon did not head toward the Laien Manor on the left hand side after reaching the end of Red Cedar Avenue, but turned to the right, the female police officer, who was following behind with the female prisoner, hurriedly reminded him:
「Not that way! That way is the Precious Flower family's manor! The Laien family is at the other end! 」
「I know. 」
Walking all the way to the right along the road, to the gate of the Precious Flower Manor, which, although completely abandoned, could still be seen to have some style among the overgrown ruins.
Leon first checked this land, which had been set as an execution platform and was almost soaked with blood, and then cautiously approached the giant tree that looked slightly withered, touching the cracked dark brown bark.
No movement.
It seems that this giant tree, which witnessed the end of the Precious Flower family and contributed a lot of wood for the execution platform that killed them, did not produce anomalies because of this, and was still just an ordinary cedar tree.
After withdrawing his hand with regret and a bit of relief, Leon, confirming that this tree did not produce anomalies, returned directly along the original road and walked toward the Laien Manor on the other side.
You are really… is it that whenever you meet two opposite options, you have to step on both sides?
Chasing for a long time while holding the female prisoner who was heavier than herself, just after taking a break, she had to go back again; the exhausted female police officer could not help but secretly glare at Leon from behind, suspecting that this guy's brain might have some problems, just as he suspected her in the past.
And this suspicion reached its peak when Leon took her to knock on the gate of the Laien family and stated his purpose to the butler in charge of welcoming guests.
……
No… you really came to recognize relatives?!
After calming down on the carriage all the way, the female police officer thought Leon was just too tired and was annoyed by her questioning, so he just fobbed her off.
But after following Leon into the Laien Manor and entering the three-story small building where the Laien family kept their genealogy under the guidance of two attendants, seeing him actually flipping through the genealogy that was allowed to be checked, the female police officer, who had already held a belly full of questions, finally couldn't help but lean over and whisper:
「Leon, I've read your file, your parents are ordinary people from Laien County, they have nothing to do with this Laien family! 」
「I know. 」
After responding without raising his head, looking at the books placed in two large cabinets in front of him, Leon, who had a headache, decisively ordered this free labor.
「You put the person down first, come and help me flip through the Laien family's genealogy. 」
「Ah? 」
「Ah what ah? Forgot that you have already been requisitioned by me? 」
「……」
After remembering her "identity" now, the female police officer, who had something to ask of him, had to honestly follow suit.
Refusing the two attendants who wanted to provide help, and tying the female prisoner tightly under their strange gazes, the female police officer seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly hurried back, leaned into Leon's ear and whispered excitedly:
「I know! Are you planning to check the Laien family's genealogy first, specifically looking for those suspicious guys whose life trajectories are not normal or who suddenly made a fortune, and then focus on digging into the crimes they committed? 」
「……」
Don't say, I really mean this…
But what I'm looking for is not crimes, but traces of suspected profit from anomalous objects; the possibility of those people whose "history of making a fortune" is obviously wrong having contact with the sheep's heart is naturally higher.
After looking at the female police officer with surprise, Leon nodded silently, half-truthfully:
「Almost. 」
「I knew it! 」
After confirming her guess, the female police officer clenched her fists excitedly, then aimed at the attendants in the distance like a guilty conscience, and then asked in a low voice:
「Then how can I help you? 」
「As for you… just this one! 」
After thinking for a while, Leon flipped through the bookshelf and took out a not-too-thick roster and handed it over.
「You are a police officer anyway, you should be better at checking this. 」 ===== CHAPTER 96 =====
