Chapter 27. Who do you pledge allegiance to
When Yin Hui originally asked him to meet here, the actual situation turned out to be a meeting between a great warlord and a saint, which made him, the client, very embarrassed.
The Twilight Bar twenty years ago was more grand. After all, the dispute between the old and the new had not yet completely intensified, and the old nobles would never think of their radical opponents executing the king.
The door of Twilight Bar is closed. As we all know, bars are generally not open in the morning. Some stores open at two o'clock in the afternoon, and some open around five o'clock in the evening. Twilight Bar is also included.
Zhou Jinru walked around and walked to the back door. As expected, the door was open.
When I opened the door and walked in, there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air. It seemed that even under the curfew, the bar was open normally, and there were still customers coming to spend time.
It’s just the identities of these guests…
Zhou Jinru pretended not to see the police officers wearing black uniforms of the police station. They were so drunk that they didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
The bartender opened his bloodshot eyes. The customer in front of him was quite unfamiliar. He had never seen him come before and there was no guide. How did he know to come in through the back door?
"A glass of milk, do you provide breakfast service?"
"Yes sir."
Zhou Jinru smiled: "Don't be nervous, I am here to revisit my old place. It has been many years since the last time."
"Yes sir, it is our honor to serve you."
After eating, Zhou Jinru was not in a hurry to leave. He sat with a glass of milk in front of him for a long time without anyone disturbing him.
Until noon, a bearded man walked in from the front door, glanced at the scattered guests in the bar, walked to the bar and ordered drinks with ease.
Zhou Jinru picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp, squinting his eyes slightly, stood up and left through the front door.
He took a roll call and went to Leon's mansion. The coachman said that he could not go to this place. Not only would he be censored, but he would also be arrested and imprisoned for a few days.
"Go to the Church of Silence."
"Sorry sir, the Silent Church is also a prohibited place."
Zhou Jinru hummed. Since he couldn't go here, he couldn't go there either, so he chose to return to the outer city.
It seems that the new nobles have made a lot of preparations, and he can only visit one person.
…
"Mr. Four, are you back?"
Standing at the door of the apartment, Karl saw Zhou Jinru getting out of the carriage and thought to himself that the explorer was really rich, and carriages were always coming in and out.
Zhou Jinru smiled and asked, "Has little Luo Shan found her doll?"
"Not yet, maybe the little goblin hasn't come back yet."
Karl burst out laughing, obviously he also knew the story Zhou Jinru told the little girl.
"Let's stop the little goblin matters here, I'm going to rest."
"Okay, remember to remember it during dinner."
Zhou Jinru responded, walked into the doorway, and stepped up the steps step by step. When he reached his door, he did not take out the key to open the door, but continued to go upstairs. When he counted to the seventeenth step, he was already standing at 3-
In front of room 2.
Boom, boom, boom.
Fingers knocked rhythmically on the door. Two minutes later, the wooden door opened, revealing a haggard face: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Mr. William."
The door was about to close in an instant, but a hand had already reached into the crack of the door and got stuck in the door, preventing the people inside from closing the door.
The pale man said angrily: "Who are you! What do you want to do!!"
"Mr. William, it's inappropriate to talk at the door."
The door panel was forcefully pushed open by Zhou Jinru, and an iron arrow was pointed at his abdomen. William's face was full of vigilance, and his eyes kept drifting behind him.
"There's no one behind me. Trust me, I'm the only one here."
"Come in!"
A smile appeared on Zhou Jinru's lips. When he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of a pair of exquisite leather shoes in the shoe cabinet at the door.
Yesterday, when he heard the quarrel between Karl and his son and went out, he was attracted by the clear sound of heels stepping on the stairs. The disheveled man hurried upstairs, but the heels were trimmed with silver. This was not something that an ordinary person could have.
In addition, Huron specially brought people to visit, Zhou Jinru suspected that there was someone in this apartment that he particularly cared about.
The person who can become the chief of the Londinium Police Station will definitely not be an ordinary person. He is at least a nobleman, and noblemen will inevitably maintain their own dignity and do not want to fall down the class no matter what. Even the landlord Karl must keep it.
With a hint of decency, Zhou Jinru could already see the behavioral habits of the Victorians.
"We need to have a good talk, now."
William did not let down his guard: "Who are you?"
"Explorer Thomas Cartman, not many people know this name, because they all call me Mr. Four."
"My friends in Colombia never even mentioned an explorer named Cartman."
Zhou Jinru nodded: "Then you have heard what I said now."
At some point, William was shocked to find that the man in front of him reached out and grabbed the hand crossbow in his hand. The iron arrow of the crossbow was broken, and the solid metal was deformed by the grip.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a simple way of survival for explorers."
He placed the twisted arrow on the table, grabbed a chair with his right hand and sat down.
I don't know if this person is an enemy or a friend, so it's better to be careful.
William wiped his face: "I'm going to wash my face."
"Please."
Zhou Jinru picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water. Before he picked up the water glass, he heard a knock on the door: "Is Mr. William here?"
This is the voice of Karl, the landlord.
The bathroom was next to the door. After washing his face, William opened the door a crack, revealing only half of his face: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. William, your rent for the next month has already been paid, and I am here to inform you of this."
Karl's statement was brief, and he left after finishing speaking, unwilling to stay for a moment longer.
William looked complicated, closed the door, looked at Zhou Jinru who was drinking tea alone, and whispered: "Did you do it?"
"It's not me. I'm not that kind. Mr. William, we have only known each other for ten minutes. Do you think I did it?"
"You, who are you?"
"Just an explorer."
William didn't believe this perfunctory statement at all, but the next moment, his eyes widened, his bloodshot pupils filled with disbelief.
"This! This is! You! You!!!"
A rivet was slapped on the table by Zhou Jinru. William trembled with his hands and wanted to touch it, but he dropped it weakly.
"Mr. William, I have a question for you. Who is your true allegiance to?"
"Of course His Majesty the King!"
William blurted out.
Zhou Jinru snorted: "Aslan can be the king, and Feilin is also eyeing the crown!"
Who is this guy!?
He can take out the rivet token unique to the royal family. Is it the secret guard of the royal family?
