It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Starry Mansion, in the luxuriously decorated study room.
Two core executives of the British branch of the Templars were having a heated discussion about Elison's death:"Elliotson is dead, and the analgesic potion has been discontinued!"
"Fry plans to let the entire fog fall into the hands of the mob!"
"Maybe he didn't intend to do anything but just mess up our lives."
"Nursing homes are closed, the city's health care system is in disarray, drug prices are skyrocketing, and it's a complete mess!"
"But he cannot understand the seriousness of his actions. This kind of person is simply an anarchist!"
But Starry, who was sitting on the desk chair, listened to his subordinates' speech without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
As the youngest son of the Starry family in the West District of Fog City, the reason why Starry He was able to stand out among several brothers and finally became the boss of Starry Enterprises and the railway tycoon in the foggy city.
To a large extent, it was due to his personality charm and ability to disguise.
Born into a wealthy family, he learned to He hid the disdain in his heart with the smile and flattery on his face, and then through practice and tempering, he became a master of controlling people's hearts.
Every move seemed to have a deep meaning. He picked up the tea spoon and gave the cup in front of him Steaming black tea with a spoonful of fine white sugar.
At this moment, Lucy Thorne, dressed in a Templar costume, also walked into the study
"ah! Miss Lucy, you're here just in time, let's have a cup of tea!"
Hearing Starry's invitation, she went straight to the side, picked up a cup of hot tea prepared by the servant, put it to her nose and smelled it, and then said:"My research is nearing the end, our dear London, Shouldn't have been bothered by these troublesome idiots for so long...."
"I heard that you were harassed by this sister for a while. What was her name? Miss Frye?"
"Miss Frye won't be the problem, but the Amelia man next to her may be the troublesome figure."
Hearing this, Starry couldn't help but move his hands. He seemed to be curious, and asked:"Amelika people? Is there a name?"
"Kennedy, or Lyon, was a single father with a child, and I heard he was very skilled."
Hearing the term"single father", Starry seemed to think of something. The disgust in his eyes flashed away.
The curiosity in his heart also disappeared with it.
"We can just leave this guy to Ross to deal with. There is no need to dirty our own hands...."
While speaking, Starry slowly stood up from his seat, clasped his hands behind his back, walked to the glass window behind him, looked at the foggy city at night, and said in a deep voice:
"The stability of Fog City is the only thing we care about. If anyone dares to stop us, there will only be one end...."
The chilling meaning in the words is self-evident.
However, what they didn't know was that the single father Lucy Thorne said was standing in front of them, watching their every move, filming all of this with a camera, and using a voice recorder to record what the meeting was going to be like. The whole process of using drugs to control the people in the foggy city was recorded.
Looking at the stack of photos and audio tapes on the table, Leon planned to give the tape anonymously to Officer Ebelin, the master of disguise, and threw the stack of photos into their mailbox.
······
Early the next morning, a piece of news in the newspaper stopped the Frye twins who were gearing up to deal with the mob gang today.
The police successfully destroyed a large warehouse of the Thug Gang in Lambeth, which contained a lot of drugs, and shot Stern, the boss of the Thug Gang in Lambeth, on the spot.
"Leon, did you do this?"
Evie looked at Leon who looked calm and asked in shock.
"Evie, you must have heard of the saying"killing someone with a borrowed knife," right? Use the help of others to achieve your goals, so that both parties get what they need."
Leon stood up, looked at the fleeting scenery outside the train window and said:"The times are progressing, society is developing, and our way of doing things has to change. If we remain unchanged, we will be abandoned by the times."
······
In the next few weeks, Lyon borrowed the police's help and almost wiped out all the thug gangs in the foggy city. The Blue Umbrella private armed enterprise company was established with the fall of each thug gang, and the local jurisdiction's The police station also established a second special police unit, and for a while the security situation in the entire foggy city was much better than before.
Seeing that Starry's wings had been clipped a lot, Leon and Evie finally found the next clue that would lead them closer to the Holy Shroud.······
The moonlight is hazy, and the gentle breeze blows on the face, making people feel relaxed.
At this moment, two vigorous figures suddenly appeared on the roof of the building.
I saw two figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, running freely on the roof of the building towards a certain destination.
After a fierce chase, the two figures suddenly stopped.
A slightly delighted female voice suddenly sounded:"This time, I won again!"
"My dear mentor, this time we are in a draw."
After that, Leon smiled slightly at Evie beside him.
Seeing Leon's smile under the moonlight, Evie, who had just won the parkour victory, was startled for a moment, and then moved her eyes unnaturally.
Leon on the side did not notice Ivie's little girlishness. Instead, he roughly looked at the majestic tower in front of him and asked curiously:"The Monument of the Fog City Fire"...Are you sure the Holy Shroud is here?"
After calming down the inner turmoil and trying to concentrate, Evie took a half step forward, pointed at the monument standing on the square, and said,"I'm not sure, but the clues pointed to by the documents are there."
"Well, let’s get started!"
Jumping off the roof, the two came to one of London's famous landmarks, the Monument to the Great Fire of London.
The Great Fire in the Fog was the most serious fire in the history of the Fog, which occurred from September 2 to 5, 1666..The fire spread throughout the city. At that time, about one-sixth of the buildings in the foggy city, Europe's largest city, were burned down. The fire burned many buildings in the foggy city, including the most famous St. Paul's Cathedral. But it was a blessing. Dependently, the fire also accidentally solved the plague, a problem that was difficult to eradicate. The reconstruction project after the fire in the foggy city made the economy of the United Kingdom begin to advance by leaps and bounds. The author of"Robinson Crusoe" The famous writer Defoe of the United Kingdom once said that without that fire, the economy of the foggy city and even the entire United Kingdom would not have improved so quickly.
Therefore, in order to commemorate this significant fire, the government of the United Kingdom Architects were sent to design and build the perimeter of this monumental monument. The patrol officers responsible for guarding it had gone home from work.
This is why the two chose to come at night.
Night is always the natural ally of assassins....
After walking around the monument, Evie soon found a carving that resembled a mechanism at the base of the monument, with a circular depression in the center of the painting.
Evie took out the small metal disc from the underground secret room of Kenway's mansion and placed it in the pit.
The next second, there was a subtle sound of gears turning inside the base of the monument.
Following the procedure in the literature, Evie recovered the disc, used the hook gun, and climbed to the top of the monument.
Just after a while, Evie returned to the ground with a ring-shaped metal block in her hand.
Raising the object in her hand to Leon, Ivie smiled slightly:"Obviously, only assassins can unlock such a mechanism...."
Following the instructions, the two left the monument and came to St. Paul's Cathedral several hundred meters away.
"The treasure trove should be here somewhere..."
Compared with the monument, St. Paul's Cathedral, the fifth largest cathedral in the world, has a more complex terrain and tighter defense.
Avoiding the surrounding patrol guards, the two used hook rope guns to climb to the top of the main entrance of the cathedral from the side.
Evie activated her eagle vision and quickly found the location of the mechanism - on the pedestal behind the stone statue of St. Paul, there was an image with missing pieces.
Put both the disc and the ring-shaped metal block into the depression to form a complete image.
The next second, with the sound of gears turning, a secret door suddenly opened in the dome building in the nave of the church in the distance!
