Chapter 94: Episode on the train


"What's the matter with this Weishan man?" Leo couldn't help wondering.
"The Weishan people are a tribe in the Mozambican continent. There are countless tribes like this on the Mosang continent." Sylvia sighed slightly, and said: "The Imperial Railway Company was hired to build a With the same continental train around Weilun, the railway route must pass through the holy land of the Weishan tribe. Of course, the Weishan people disagree."
Leo guessed: "So you used force to occupy this land?"
"Don't think of us as savage as you," Sylvia gave Leo a cold glance, but then he had some lack of confidence, and said: "But the later methods are not very glorious, and in the end it was troubled. At the mainland parliament, the mainland parliament voted at that time that the holy land of the Weishan people was the state-owned land of the Mogaganu Kingdom, and the royal government had the right to determine the use of the land. Therefore, it forcibly passed the decision to build a railway on the holy land of the Weishan people.
"Later?" Leo speculated according to common sense, "The Weishan people stopped, the railway company forcibly laid the rails, the two sides clashed, and the casualties were heavy."
"Despite the conflict, not many deaths and injuries, only the shaman of the Weishan people died." Sylvia looked a little ugly, saying: "After the shaman died, the Weishan people disappeared overnight. No more conflicts with the railway company."
"This is not good news." Leo is well aware that any abnormalities represent the advent of disaster.
"The people at the time didn't think so." Sylvia sneered with disdain, obviously dissatisfied with the railway company in charge at the time, and said: "But soon they panicked, and the senior management of the Imperial Railway Company successively They were killed and divided into corpses. Each body had a declaration of war from the Weishan people. They did not stop retaliating until all the railway company executives and Mogaganu Kingdom officials involved in the incident were killed. ."
"It seems that the Weishan people are a very vengeful ethnic group." Leo frowned: "Why did they appear again this time? The speaker who died this time was to push the parliament to place the Holy Land of the Weishan people in Mogagan. The speaker of the slave kingdom?"
Sylvia shook his head: "Of course not, the speaker died of illness a few years ago."
Leo analyzed: "It seems that someone is using the Weishan people as an excuse to remove some obstacles."
"Is this still what you said?" Sylvia said angrily: "As long as you have a little wisdom, you can see who did this, but there is no evidence to prove it."
Leo ignored the sarcasm in Sylvia's tone, and asked curiously, "What does this matter have to do with you? Why would the Sky Tower send someone to protect you?"
Sylvia's face immediately became very ugly, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "The reason why the railway company chose the Holy Land of the Weishan people as the railway route was entirely because of reading the novel I wrote, knowing that there is a secret valley that can be directly Through the Mosang Mountains."
"Oh! That's what it is." Leo looked at Sylvia with a look you deserved, and saw Sylvia's eyelids jumped, and the fire that had just been suppressed rose again.
"If it's okay, you can leave!" Sylvia felt that Leo would stay here again, her emotions might be difficult to restore calm, so she directly ordered the guest. ,
Leo also did not intend to stay here, put the document bag in his backpack, and stepped out of the room.
After Leo left the room, Sylvia’s erratic mood gradually recovered, his eyes somewhat complicated looking at the door, followed by a lip, and turned his head to the unconscious Emily, saying: "You also think this Is it an abominable bastard? If you don’t talk, even if you are acquiesced! Your clothes are too bad. If you want to change clothes, your hair will not look good, and you will need to put on makeup..."
How did Sylvia play with the unconscious Emily like a doll in the Sky Tower room, Leo didn’t know at all, but he didn’t care even if he knew it, although he was a little cold, but in his eyes, As long as a living Emily is enough.
After leaving the Sky Tower, Leo went directly to the intercity steam train station at the junction of the three embassy districts of Megalija, Panier and Mogaganu.
The previous Miriah Intercity Train just left the station five minutes ago, and the next one will arrive at the station 15 minutes later. Leo sat in the waiting chair on the platform of the station, holding the newly bought A newspaper read it.
The front page headlines of all newspapers were news of the death of the Speaker of the Continental Congress, and the security department of the Continental Congress had already intervened in the investigation. The Political Department of the French Empire was also following up, and all Weishan people were wanted throughout the city.
Although the newspaper reported extensively on the death of the speaker, Leo was very surprised to find that the ordinary people around him behaved indifferently on this matter.
After inquiring about the ordinary passengers sitting beside him waiting for the bus, Leo realized that it was not the first time that the Speaker of the Continental Congress was assassinated.
In fact, after the establishment of the mainland parliament, no clues were found. It could only be concluded that there were 17 speakers who died unexpectedly, and as many as 35 speakers who could be assassinated or murdered. There are only seven speakers who can finally die, and among these seven speakers, six resigned from the post of speaker, so only one person died in the position of speaker, which is the last speaker.
It’s no wonder that the people of Miria City have seen such a bland view of the speaker’s killing and corpse, mainly because of too much experience. For them, the speaker’s assassination is not news, and the speaker is still alive. It was the last speaker who died of illness in office. It was simply regarded as a miracle by the people of Miriam City. The whole week of news newspapers reported this matter.
At this time, there was a whistle sound from the far distance of the railway, followed by seeing a stream of steam rising like a striking sign to remind everyone on the platform, everyone stood up from the waiting chair and walked to isolation Beside the railing.
At this moment, there was suddenly a loud noise outside the station. Among these sounds were ordinary people shouting, police whistle sounds, and more objects falling to the ground.
It didn't take long to see the crowd at the entrance of the platform not far away suddenly, and then a thin figure squeezed out of the crowd, quickly ran towards the platform, and behind him several policemen blew their whistle and waved Police baton, catch up quickly.
The people on the platform didn't know what was going on, but they were unwilling to cause trouble. They evaded when the thin figure ran over.
And the thin figure was obviously reluctant to let go of such a good blocking tool. When running in the crowd, from time to time, she pulled a handful of women around her, making their bodies involuntarily block the route he ran over, blocking The police behind him.
Soon the thin figure came not far from Leo. A pair of calm triangular eyes with a deliberately lowered cap glanced at Leo’s striking backpack, and a grin hung on his dirty face.
Immediately afterwards, when he saw him passing by Leo, he deliberately hit the backpack behind Leo. So that the backpack exposed a small hole, and then quickly stuffed his hand into the backpack, the whole process was completed in an instant, plus the body cover, no one noticed, except for two parties.
The thin figure was obviously very confident in his technique. Without stopping to check, he sprinted forward, and one turned over the fence and ran towards the fast approaching train.
At a distance from the head of the train, the thin figure jumped off the platform and landed on the railroad tracks in the exclamation of everyone on the platform, and then turned over, rubbed the edge of the train, and fell to the other side of the train. It disappeared into the steam erupted by the train, leaving only the policemen roaring angrily on the platform.
For passengers boarding on the platform, this matter can be regarded as an idle conversation on the journey. Many people are speculating about whether the thin figure is male or female, why was it chased by the police, etc. Wait for doubt.
As the train stopped on the platform, passengers boarded the train one after another, and Leo also got on the car following the flow of people, and found a seat by the window.
After that, Leo randomly selected a copy of the Gamorai poetry manuscript that the old man Rembrandt gave him from the backpack. The slap-sized object wrapped in cloth in the corner of the backpack did not touch. .
Soon the train restarted with a whistle and moved forward slowly. The car was not full yet. Because Leo was sitting in a remote location, there was no one sitting around, so that he could read his hand at ease. Poems in Gamore language.
Although this kind of poem written in Gamore language is obscure, Leo read it with interest. He found that the same poem can become hundreds of poems with completely different meanings after the pronunciation of the basic roots is changed. , Making him a site down, even the first poem in the manuscript was not fully read.
However, it is clear that some people do not want Leo to read the book in such a leisurely manner and smoothly reach the suburban hunting ground.
The train drove past one station and officially left the city of Miria. When entering the outskirts of the city, two big men wearing ordinary cotton jackets and a round felt hat walked to Leo’s seat and sat down. Leo's side.
Leo sighed slightly, put down the poetry manuscript in his hand, turned his head to look at the face of the two who was different from the people of the Weilun mainland, and said nothing, and the one in the backpack was forced into Take out the items and put them on the table, it's a whole thing that you take away, don't want to cause trouble.
However, the two big guys were obviously not prepared to let Leo just like that. One of them said: "We hope you can help us take this thing to a place and give it to a person."
"I don't want to cause trouble." Leo looked at them calmly and said.
"But you are already in trouble," the big man sitting next to Leo showed his fierce eyes, threatening: "You better promise to help us do this, otherwise, if you..."
Leo sighed again when he heard this. From the perspective of the two big men, Leo now had such a helpless look, and felt that the other party should have been forced to accept their request.
However, before they could tell where to take the things and who they gave them to, they felt a sore neck, blurred vision, and suddenly stopped breathing.
After breaking the necks of the two, Leo gently supported the bodies of the two, let them lie on the table, and then put their hats on their faces, looking like they were asleep.
After doing all of this, he picked up the object that caused the disaster again, but did not untie the cloth bag outside to see what the object was, but put it directly back in his backpack and continued to pick up the Gamore language Read the manuscript of poetry.
After about ten minutes, the train drove two more stops and finally came to the destination hunting ground station of Leo's trip.
Leo put the manuscript back in his backpack, stood up, rolled over the dead man beside him, walked towards the exit of the carriage, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Many people on the train are getting off at this stop. Because of the rest day, some civil servants and middle-class families in Miria City will take their families on holiday in the suburbs, and the best resorts in the surrounding area Naturally, it is close to the hunting grounds of the Dibia Mountains.
Although spring is not a season suitable for hunting, spring is very suitable for outings. It is a very pleasant thing for the whole family to spend a rest day in a mountain villa, so when Leo rented a mountain in a hunting lodge alone In the hut, the person in charge showed a surprised expression on his face.
Although the reception staff at the Hunting Field Hotel was puzzled by Leo's coming to the suburbs during this period, his face was not revealed, but a professional recommendation: "If you are alone, I recommend you to us Hot Spring Hotel..."
"No more! I want to live in a relatively remote mountain hut. I want to be alone." Leo said his condition, and the hotel receptionist who heard the condition looked at Leo's eyes. Becomes a little weird.
Leo also seemed to realize that his words would cause ambiguity, so he added: "Relax, I am not here to commit suicide. If I want to commit suicide, I will not rent a mountain hut, but go directly to the mountain, it will be better. some."
The hotel receptionist touched the back of the head embarrassingly~EbookFREE.me~ said: "Oh! Sorry, mainly because something like that happens every year here, making us nervous."
Then the hotel receptionist introduced Leo to several mountain cabins suitable for living alone, but Leo was rejected.
After vetoing another mountain hut, Leo suddenly proposed: "Do you have a map here? I selected an area on the map, and then you told me if there is an empty mountain hut there."
When the hotel receptionist heard it, they thought the method was good, so they found a map and spread it on the table.
Soon Leo found the special land on the map that was constantly rented by the escapers at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, so he drew an area around the land and asked if there was a suitable mountain lodge for rent.
The hotel reception staff checked the information and found that there was no holiday hut built there, but there was a public hunting house that provided hunters’ rest. Because of the spring, there was no hunter hunting, so the hunting house was vacant.
So the hotel rented the hunting house to Leo, and let the hotel's hunter guide lead Leo to there.
