Chapter 51 Night Detective

  Night.

  The outer city under the purple moon was dark and silent.

  Compared with the inner city in the distance, this place at the moment is more like a pool of stagnant water.

   Across a spacious river, many tall buildings in the inner city can be vaguely seen in the distance.

  The lights are brilliant, like the stars in the night.

  The stars are reflected on the black as ink river, which is the all-night noise of the rich.

   After watching for a long time, I seem to be able to hear the collision of wine glasses and loud talking and laughing from over there.

  Chen Lun has been standing behind a tree by the river for a long time, looking at a bridge through the guardrail.

  The bridge has checkpoints, five people in one team, and several teams work in shifts.

   "Through this bridge, you can enter the inner city from the outer city..."

   Chen Lun thought to himself.

  He came here at night, because he wanted to go to the inner city to check the situation in advance and prepare for the next plan.

  The isolation between the inner and outer cities is quite strict.

  In order to prevent people from smuggling from the river to the opposite bank, a row of five or six-meter-high guardrails were even erected on both sides of the bank.

  The metal guardrails painted with black paint are closely spaced, less than a palm wide, and the top is as sharp as a gun point. If someone tries to climb over the guardrail, they will be gutted if they don't pay attention.

  And there are police officers and guards cross-patrolling on the water of the Amber River and along the inner city, with almost no dead ends.

  I'm afraid this is because the outer city is too chaotic.

  The people living in the inner city are people with power and money. If the two sides are allowed to communicate, it is very likely to cause danger to the residents of the inner city.

  The more noble a person is, the more afraid he is to deal with the bottom.

  The reason why Amber City has formed such a clear-cut situation today is due to the influence of the dignitaries on the parliament.

   "It's really strict..."

  Chen Lun sighed, it is difficult to sneak into such a situation.

   But there is no need for him to sneak in.

   "Fortunately, I already have an identity certificate, so I will be interrogated at most."

   Pausing for a while, Chen Lun moved, like a fast-moving ghost, and disappeared in place.

  In front of the checkpoint on the bridge, the two guards on guard had just finished inspecting a caravan carriage and stood there bored. Soon, they saw a tall man slowly approaching.

   "Sorry, please show your identification."

  A guard with a short sword on his waist, stretched out a hand in a leather glove.

  Chen Lun handed over a small leather notebook.

  The guard checked his identity certificate, and by the light of the street lamps on both sides, he looked at the black-haired young man in front of him a few times.

  Seeing him dressed decently and holding a book in his hand, it was indeed as stated on the identity certificate.

  The guard handed back his identity certificate, and saluted with his left hand on his right chest.

   "Mr. Jack, may the sun shine on you."

  He stretched out his hand to feint, and then stepped out of the aisle.

   Chen Lun nodded, and walked straight onto the bridge under the watchful eyes of several guards.

  Walking on the bridge, overlooking the river on one side, he couldn't help feeling secretly.

   Indeed, as he expected, without an ID card, it would be difficult to walk in the inner city, and I am afraid that even this hurdle would be difficult.

   When you really enter the inner city, the first thing to do is to find a fixed residence to avoid being frequently checked.

   After crossing the bridge, Chen Lun came to a very spacious street.

  The view into the eye is quite spectacular.

  The ground of the street is paved with uniform blue-gray stone bricks, with tall and neat buildings on both sides.

  Those buildings seemed to be various types of shops, and Chen Lun also found a branch of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in it.

  Different from the outer city, electricity is widely used here, like two completely different systems, operating independently.

  Colorful signboards glisten at night, carriages and well-dressed pedestrians shuttle on the street.

   In a trance, Chen Lun seemed to see the shadow of his previous life.

  He walked all the way, and according to the roadside guide signs, he headed towards the Second Avenue where the Pompeii Manor was located.

  On the street, you can often see fashionable women walking together. Some even turned their heads to wink at Chen Lun, and then left with a chuckle.

  If Chen Lun stepped forward and said in a magnetic voice, beautiful lady, please give me a chance to buy you coffee.

  Then the probability of these women handing over their contact information is probably 100%.

   But he doesn't have time to pick up girls.

   After spending nearly two hours and taking a long detour, Chen Lun finally found Second Avenue.

   And it was already late at night.

  The terrain of the inner city is relatively high, and the further you go, the higher you go.

  From here, looking over the guardrail, you can see the spacious Amber River and the dark outer city.

   "Nine Second Avenue, Pompeii Manor."

  He came to the periphery of a huge manor.

  The rustling wind blows the lush trees in the manor, and the shadows of the trees dance and sway gently.

  Through the exquisitely carved black guardrail, looking in from the gap, you can vaguely see a lawn, and there are several villas in the deepest part, and the lights are on.

  Walking around the guardrail, Chen Lun estimated the area in his mind.

   "It's so big...how can I find it?"

  Chen Lun couldn't help frowning.

   While he was thinking, suddenly his expression changed, and he dodged behind a tree, hiding in the shadows.

  The sound of footsteps came later, and two police officers from the public security station passed by with lanterns and a big dog on a lead.

  "...Recently, an order was sent from above to increase the patrol time. Alas, I still want to go home and spend more time with my daughter."

   "No way, bear with it, buddy.

  Garden Hotel had such a big incident, even the son of Lawson died there, it is inevitable to strengthen the security. "

   Two police officers are chatting, one of them is complaining.

   "Those damned extremists actually did such a cruel thing...!"

   "Do you believe the explanation given above? Forget it, I saw the investigator of the mysterious department at the scene with my own eyes, and most of this was not done by normal people..."

   Just as they were gradually walking away, the big dog at their feet seemed to have discovered something, and stood where they were.

  It stared straight at the hiding place of Chen Lun, and let out a slight growl.

  The police officer felt the rope in his hand tightened, and also noticed the abnormality of the big dog.

   "What's the matter, Charlie?"

  Following the sight of the big dog, the two police officers looked at a tree outside the fence of the Pompeii manor. Years of experience told them that there seemed to be tricks in the shadows behind the trees.

  They looked at each other, took out their sticks at the same time, formed horns with each other, and slowly approached Chen Lun.

  One of them also put a whistle by his mouth, ready to blow it at any time to notify nearby police officers for support.

  Chen Lun's heart tightened.

  He didn't want to be found out, it would mess up his plans.

  The index finger lightened slightly, and it ticked towards the big dog.

  The dog broke free from the rope, jumped over the two police officers and rushed to Chen Lun.

   "Charlie!"

   Before they could react, the big dog named Charlie ran back to their feet.

   Wagging his tail, he handed over the silver medal he was biting into with his mouth.

   "Eh... Yin Jue? Haha, what a good boy!"

   "When did Charlie learn to pick up money? Dude, I think you can make a fortune with it..."

  The two police officers breathed a sigh of relief, teased each other a few words, and left with the dog.

  The big dog turned his head and saw a thumb sticking out from the shadow behind the tree.

  Its tail wagged more merrily.

   Waiting for the police officers to leave, Chen Lun came out from behind the tree.

   "It seems too idealistic."

  He glanced at the Viscount Manor beside him, pondering.

   Originally planned to find an opportunity to sneak in, find [Philip’s legacy] and leave.

   But now it seems that this plan is a bit unrealistic.

  The Pompeii manor is too big, even if he uses animals to search inside, it will take a lot of time. However, it is impossible for him to appear frequently in this area, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.

   "Use an alternative plan... first break into the manor, and then wait for the opportunity to find it."

   Made up his mind, Chen Lun was about to leave.

  Passing by the gate of the Pompeii manor, it happened that two middle-aged maids came out of it.

  They were carrying some packages in their hands and seemed to be going out.

   "...Miss Rebecca has been losing her temper a lot lately, which is really a headache."

   "It doesn't matter, Lord Viscount has already found a tutor candidate, it seems to be a professor from Huang Yuanwei College, and he will come to you in a few days...

  Miss Rebecca won't be so idle by then, making fun of us all the time. "

  Chen Lun walked forward as usual, but his heart sank.

  Anyone has chosen?

  Is the road to the alternative plan also blocked! ?

   Thanks to the beauty—Tang Jiuxin for a monthly ticket!

   I love you (′‵)
