Chapter 37 The Next Era
In fact, the method of the secret room is not complicated, it is better to be concise, and it cannot be considered as much concealing.
What Faust has always been confused about is not the secret room issue, but why he was attacked by the Black Mass Order?
This is really a big misunderstanding.
Now he has completely understood the order of the attacks in the police station. The Black Mass Clan was investigating Mr. Werner's situation very early. It is estimated that the reason why Mr. Werner's initial disappearance was that he was arrested or killed by the Black Mass Clan.
After the engineer Mr. Werner, the two tenants who moved into No. 221 Yanan Street seemed very likely. They were also because they were prevented from looking for something in the "haunted house" by the Black Mass Order.
It’s just that the cultists did not understand the line between Mr. Werner and the Reef Cafe, so they completely focused their attention on No. 221 Yanan Street.
Faust happened to suddenly move into No. 221 Yanan Street, giving Old Maguire a good chance to murder his stepdaughter.
After the murder, the police blocked No. 221 Yanan Street, and the Black Mass Cult can no longer search the "haunted house". They speculated that the police had some important clues, so they entered the police station that night to create a massacre.
In this process, Faust was both a fuse that detonated gunpowder and an innocent melon-eating crowd.
The matter has nothing to do with him!
One thing Faust couldn't understand before was why the Black Mass Order attacked him?
This attack made him feel that the murder case in the secret room, the attack in the police station were all related to the Black Mass Order.
In fact, although the cultists were extremely cruel, they were indeed innocent in the case where Miss Maguire was killed.
The white cliff is right by the sea, with different species of seabirds flying back and forth, and a few feathers slowly fall on the rocks of the cape in the wind.
Faust picked up two bird feathers and crossed them together:
"Just like this, the two unrelated cases were entangled because they also occurred around No. 221 Yanan Street...
No. 221 Yanan Street may be a cursed haunted house, which originates from the curse of money, wealth and greed.”
Jiabao was still scared, and she was still worried about the murder of Maguire's stepdaughter.
This incident always makes Jiabao have some extra associations. Even if he walks out of the dim Faraday Institute and stands under the hot sun, listens to the sea breeze, waves, and seagulls, he cannot dispel the deep haze on Jiabao's face.
"Even if it's just a stepdaughter, how can you do it as a father?"
Miss Maguire was strangled to death by her stepfather, and Faust himself confirmed the blue-purple scar.
Garbo could even imagine how panic and desperate Miss Maguire's eyes were when her father strangled her neck. She must have struggled desperately during her lifetime, and perhaps even begged her stepfather.
However, Old Maguire was unmoved.
After completing the murder calmly, he continued to set up the secret room scene and prepared to frame Faust for the murder.
Faust said: "In our time, the only criterion for defining relationships between people is money."
Speaking of this, Faust wanted to laugh a little, and he was still carrying a 350 million mark debt.
The mechanical revolution brought by the steam engine shattered the knights, castles and bishops of the vassal era, and also shattered the warmth and moral codes of the vassal era.
In the old world that has disappeared, there were two things that are awesome: one is the vast starry sky above our heads, and the other is the moral law in our hearts.
But in the new world where big machines roar, only money can be awe-inspiring.
"This is the new era." Faust laughed, "the golden age belongs to our generation."
The clever self-crying clocks and clocks are squirting out scorching steam from the magnificent large machinery industry. The airships that cover the sky and the ironclad ships that ride the wind and waves connect the entire world.
What dominates the world is just a Mark banknote painted with the prime minister's avatar.
The sea breeze on the white cliffs became more and more intense. The strong wind that cuts the rock walls and creates the cape has long blown Miss Lilulu, who has long been able to keep it.
The maid of the upper class, even a full-time combat maid, could not stand such a cold north wind.
Faust shook his head: "The wind is too strong, Lord Lieutenant, my dear and dear Miss Lilulu, let's go. No wonder the White Cliff has such a beautiful scenery, but it is so deserted that it has become the nest of the Black Mass Order."
Miss Lilulu was blown away, her hair was messy, and even the beautiful hair accessories were almost blown away.
She waved left and right, her eyes turned pale, and when she heard Faust's words, she said happily: "Young Master can speak human language! That's great, great!"
Jiabao smiled docilely, then unbuttoned his military uniform and put his coat on Lilulu's shoulders.
"Little Lilulu, don't let the wind blow your skin."
As soon as Lilulu was approached by Jiabao, she suddenly trembled. After she gave her thanks in a panic, she hurriedly threw away her legs and ran to the front.
Miss Lilulu's maid dress has a long hem, and the Baijia Shanghai Rock is rugged and steep, making it difficult to get to rest.
She had no choice but to gently lift the corners of her skirt with both hands, revealing her white socks and a small piece of smooth calves.
Decent maids usually require only black stockings. But white stockings are much cheaper than black stockings. Faust buys clothes for Lilulu in this subtlety that is easy to overlook, so it is just to buy cheap goods.
The strong wind blew Faust could only squint his eyes. He looked at Lilulu's lively look in front of him, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
Garbo and Faust walked side by side and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking..." Faust replied, "The new era has the beauty of the new era, just as the old world has the ugliness of the old world."
"So what about Mr. Werner's draft? What does this thing mean for the new era?"
Faust stared at Garbo's eyes, his blue pupils were very beautiful, and his slightly raised eyelashes had a fascinating temperament, which was much more attractive than Lilulu, who looked like a little girl.
Jiabao was stared for a long time and covered his full chest with anger: "Answer my question seriously!"
"Do you know Mr. Werner's full name?"
Garbo shook his head, and Faust felt a little disappointed:
Second Lieutenant Jiabao made a special trip to investigate the case of the Black Mass. She had checked all the materials of the three tenants in advance, but she did not even remember Mr. Werner's full name.
The class gap is arrogant.
"Mr. Werner is a very good engineer at General Steam, but I am ignorant. It was not until I asked Mr. Werner's full name in the Reef Cafe that I remembered that I had read the book he wrote."
Garbo said in surprise: "Have Mr. Werner still written a book?"
"The title of the book is... "On the Next Era."
