Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 94: Baohua and the Lion

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
After hearing Leon's answer, the policewoman's expression could no longer be described as complicated.

A man whose opinions were considered radical among the rebels had just caught a high-ranking member of the rebel party and interrogated him. The questions he asked seemed to be very fatal, forcing the other party to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall.

After he had interrogated the rebels, he warned himself to be careful of the Ryan family, and told himself calmly that he would go to the Ryan family to recognize his relatives...

No...Which side are you on?

The female police officer was completely confused by Leon's answer. Although she had a thousand questions in her mind, she didn't dare to disturb him when she saw his tired expression. Instead, she sat at the other end with the unconscious female prisoner.

……

Since the entire carriage was "booked", there was no need to slow down and stop frequently to accommodate passengers getting on and off. In addition, in order to arrive at the station earlier and get rid of these extremely troublesome passengers, the speed of the steam carriage was increased to the maximum.

Due to all the reasons mentioned above, the carriage arrived at Redwood Avenue where Ryan's family lived in less than half the time it usually took, and then hurriedly asked several "plague gods" to get off the carriage.

Lyon, who had taken a short nap in the car, recovered some of his strength and looked much better. After getting off the car and being blown by the cold wind, there was no sign of anything abnormal.

Ignoring the policewoman's hesitant look, after taking the sheep's head and broom, Leon identified the environment around Redwood Avenue, and then walked towards the two giant trees nearly 100 meters high at the end of Redwood Avenue.

Yes, Redwood Avenue is just as its name suggests, with two extremely huge redwood trees planted on it.

This giant tree has a reddish-brown bark, can be over a hundred meters tall, and has an average breast diameter of over eight meters. Generally speaking, it should not appear in an industrial city like the royal capital, let alone in the redwood avenue where every inch of land is valuable.

But for some groups, these do not constitute a problem. In fact, the more difficult and unreasonable things are, the more they can highlight their superiority and uniqueness.

The two redwood trees at the end of Redwood Avenue were forcibly transplanted from hundreds of miles away by the royal family for this purpose. They were eventually given as gifts to the two most distinguished nobles in the kingdom and planted at the gates of their private estates.

According to the royal family's original statement, they hoped to use this tree species, which can survive for up to a thousand years, to symbolize the two most loyal supporters of the royal family, who would be able to live with the country and pass on from generation to generation.

It's a pity that the royal family, who spent a lot of effort to give these two giant trees, was indeed a little too sentimental.

Not many years after receiving the cedar tree, the Baohua family launched a violent coup d'état, attempting to completely overthrow the royal family. In the end, they were betrayed and the entire family was executed. The execution platform was set up under the cedar tree given to their family.

Although the other family did not stage a coup, it also changed from the Lionheart Family, which was once aggressive and aggressive in expanding its territory, to the Ryan Family, which is known as one of the three major cancers of the kingdom, and became a huge pimple growing in the heart of the entire kingdom...

To be honest, these two trees are so unlucky that there might be some consequences.

After successfully entering this private road that was not open to the public with the help of his credentials from the Clearing Bureau, Lyon did not admire the villas and gardens on both sides. Instead, he walked quickly past the magnificent buildings and headed straight towards his goal.

"Hey? You went the wrong way!"

Seeing that Leon walked to the end of Redwood Avenue and did not go to the Ryan Manor on the left, but turned right, the female police officer who was holding the female prisoner behind hurriedly reminded him:

"Not over there! That's the Baohua family's manor! The Ryan family is on the other side!"

"I know."

Follow the road all the way to the right and you will come to the entrance of Baohua Manor, which is completely abandoned but you can vaguely see the majestic entrance among the ruins overgrown with weeds.

Leon first checked the land that had been used as an execution platform and was almost soaked in blood, then he cautiously approached the slightly withered giant tree and touched the cracked dark brown bark.

There was no movement.

It seems that this giant tree, which witnessed the end of the Baohua family and contributed a lot of wood to the execution platform that killed them, has not become abnormal because of this and is still just an ordinary fir tree.

After withdrawing his hand with regret and some relief, Leon confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the tree, and then he went back the same way and walked towards the Ryan Manor on the other side. You are really... Whenever you encounter two opposite options, do you have to step on both sides?
After chasing for a long time while carrying a female prisoner who was heavier than herself, the policewoman had just taken a break and was about to go back again. The exhausted policewoman couldn't help but secretly glared at Leon from behind, wondering if this guy had something wrong with his brain, just like he had doubted herself in the past.

This suspicion reached its peak when Leon took her to knock on Ryan's door and told the housekeeper in charge of welcoming guests the purpose of their visit.

……

No...you really came here to recognize your relatives?!

After staying calm in the carriage, the female police officer thought that Leon was just too tired, annoyed by her questions and didn't want to answer, so she just made up an excuse.

But after following Leon into the Ryan Manor and being led by two waiters into the three-story building where the Ryan family stored their family tree, the policewoman, who had been full of questions, couldn't help but lean over and whispered, "I'm not going to say that. I ...

“Leon, I’ve read your file. Your parents are ordinary people from Lane County and have nothing to do with this Lane family!”

"I know."

After responding without raising his head, looking at the two large cabinets of books in front of him, Leon, who was a little headache, decisively ordered this free labor to be dispatched.

"Put the person down first and help me look through the Ryan family tree."

"what?"

"What? Have you forgotten that you have been recruited by me?"

"..."

After remembering her current "identity", the female police officer who had to ask for help had no choice but to do as she was told.

After rejecting the two waiters who wanted to help and tying up the female prisoner tightly under their strange looks, the female police officer seemed to have thought of something, and hurried back, leaning close to Leon's ear and whispering excitedly:

"I see! Are you planning to check the Ryan family tree first, specifically looking for those suspicious guys whose life trajectories are not normal or who suddenly became rich, and then focus on digging out the crimes they have committed?"

"..."

Don't tell me, I really mean this...

However, I am not looking for crimes, but traces of suspected profiteering with the help of abnormal objects. Those whose "history of wealth" is obviously not right are naturally more likely to have had contact with Yang Xin.

After looking at the female police officer in surprise, Leon nodded silently and said half-truthfully:

"almost."

"I knew it!"

After confirming her guess, the female police officer clenched her fist excitedly, then glanced at the waiter in the distance with a guilty look, and then asked in a low voice:
"Then how can I help you?"

"If you want to say that... that's it!"

After thinking about it, Leon rummaged through the bookshelf, took out a not-too-thick list and handed it over.

"You are a policeman after all, so you should be more familiar with this."
