Chapter 431 Alienation Space
When Chen Ke and Jacob left Sean's mansion, the guards in the courtyard had not yet woken up.
The two of them were shuttled through the shadows of the building, sneaking in blind spots where gas lights could not be illuminated, and soon hid in a pitch-black alley.
"Baron Mox, Mrs. Kaserine, what are their origins?" Chen Ke asked.
"Mox is the best doctor in Longton. It costs a lot to find him to see a doctor, but his skillful medical skills obviously cannot cure his wife." Jacob said.
"What do you mean is Mrs. Kaserine died of illness?" Chen Ke wondered. If this woman died of illness, Sean's words just now would be a bit interesting.
"No...no, Mrs. Kaserine has a neurological disease. Baron Mox tried many methods but could not cure her. Mrs. Kaserine has not gone out for several years." Jacob said.
Neurological diseases are also a very difficult disease to treat in modern times. In the 19th century, they are no different from terminal illness.
However, not all neurological diseases are fatal. For rich people, they do not need to do heavy physical labor, so they will not make their lives unable to continue.
"Take me to their mansion." Chen Ke urged.
"Chen Ke wait a moment... Don't worry, the other party is Baron Mox, you can't threaten them in the way you just now." Jacob opened his hands and made a wait-and-see position.
"He has my stuff in his hand, and I don't care who he is." Chen Ke said.
"Shawn controls Longton, but he is just an entrepreneur. And Baron Mox...he is the best doctor in the city, and he even saw the Queen..." Jacob said.
Chen Ke pinched his chin and paced back and forth, and he understood what Jacob meant.
Sean is the social overlord under the Longton table, and offending him will be subject to some revenge, but Baron Mox is a public figure on the Longton table. If he touches him, he must give Longton society an explanation.
Jacob knew that Chen Ke would not change his mind, and he did not want to stop Chen Ke, but was worried that Chen Ke would do excessive behavior, which would prevent many things from ending.
After all, dealing with street gangsters and employing killers is one thing, but being wanted is another. Chen Ke helped Xu Jing and wanted a normal innocent citizenship.
Humans are social animals. If they are separated from society, they either have the power to open up a new world, otherwise they will end up very miserable.
"I understand what you mean, I have a sense of responsibility." Chen Ke nodded.
"I hope so, but East Longton is a little far away. We use our legs and may have to walk for half a night..." Jacob said.
"I have a way." Chen Ke said, turning around and walking out of the alley. Jacob followed Chen Ke skeptically.
After a while, the two drove their carriages toward Donglangton on the street in the middle of the night. Chen Ke used the ability of time to pause to steal a factory carriage.
This carriage should be a carriage from a winery. Two horses dragged a green four-wheeler truck. Judging from the volume of the tow bucket behind, it should be able to be equipped with eight big poke wine.
He asked Jacob to drive and sit in the secondary seat by himself. If there was still time before dawn, Chen Ke planned to return the carriage.
After driving in the carriage for a while, Jacob alertly bypassed the patrol route of the security officers. Fortunately, Longton's patrol density was not high. After about two hours of touching, they could already see the red roof of Baron Mox's majestic mansion.
The sound of Big Ben came from a distance. The two hid their carriages in the alley near the park, and then walked towards the Red Roof Mansion.
Mox's mansion is a very grand but not large two-story villa with its own courtyard, which is in sharp contrast to the crowded five-story workers' residences around.
The guards at the gate of the gate were wearing the blue uniform of the security guard. Jacob's concerns were reasonable. Mox was not a member of the royal family, but he was awarded a title, which was considered to be a noble rank by his own medical skills.
I wanted to rely on time to stop the guards at the door, but at the same time, a black carriage rushed over from the other side of the street and stopped at the door of Mox's mansion.
Chen Ke and Jacob quickly dodged, hid in the dark corner beside him, and observed the visitor.
The black carriage was pulled by two horses, and three people wearing windbreakers came down from the black sedan chair at the back. They were wearing triangular hats and carrying a black bag in their right hand.
The sharp-eyed Chen Ke suddenly realized that the black bag was actually a cold weapon wrapped in cloth.
When the three of them got out of the car, the coachman took the reins and drove away the carriage. The three of them talked to the security guards, not seemingly under the control of the curfew.
"Who are they? They are also here to find Baron Mox?" Chen Ke looked at Jacob.
"I don't know. They have a status far beyond the security station..." Jacob shook his head.
When Chen Ke saw the security guarding the door bow respectfully to the three people and then made way, the three people walked into the mansion with great swagger.
"Is it because I'm in the medical industry? No, I seem to have seen it..." Chen Ke murmured to himself. He remembered that when he was still wearing a Florence suit, he seemed to be staring at him somewhere...
Speaking of which, Florence's suit is very similar to their outfits... but it may be a little more advanced.
"They might be secret keepers..." Chen Ke didn't say it, but he already had his own judgment.
The secret keeper was directly ordered by the Queen, a special organization in the 19th century Ingram's fight against mysterious things, and hunted every night.
In other words, wherever they appear, there are mysterious things.
"Jacob, Baron Mox's mansion, may be hidden in Baron Mox's mansion that you cannot understand. I advise you to watch the carriage here." Chen Ke warned.
"Is it the same as the one below the academy?" Jacob had seen those things before. After hearing what Chen Ke said, he instantly understood what he meant.
"Of course, I'm not sure, but do you know the secret keeper?" Chen Ke asked.
"Well, I don't know. What is that?" Jacob shook his head.
Chen Ke refocused himself on the mansion. Since the secret keeper is a secret organization, it is normal for civilians like Jacob to not know it. But even so, the people at the security station should have a basic understanding of the secret keeper, after all, they still need cross-departmental cooperation.
The security guard standing at the door rubbed his hands and cursed the cold air tonight. He saw the gas lights flashing unnaturally, so he walked up to him and plucked the gas valve.
At the same time, Chen Ke had passed by him and entered the small courtyard of the mansion.
The mansion looked small, just a two-story villa. He approached the door of the mansion and gently pushed open the door. In front of him was a long wooden corridor.
The visual length of this corridor is far more than 200 meters, which is obviously contrary to logic. After all, from the outside, the single-story width and length of the Mox Mansion are not as high as 200 meters.
The three suspected secret keepers who just entered didn't know where they went, and Chen Ke stood at the door without hearing any movement.
He stepped on the wooden floor with one foot, and suddenly felt that the floor was like an escalator in a shopping mall. He moved himself into the room and the wooden door behind him also closed with a bang.
Chen Ke turned around and the window on the wooden door was pitch black and there was no sight outside. He took out the Type 67 pistol and looked to the end of the corridor.
