Behind an iron-black streetlight pole twenty meters away from Mr. Eve, Lumian leaned sideways there, under the cover of the passing crowd, pressed his peaked cap, and watched the target pick up the gold coin and put it in his pocket .
Until then, he breathed a sigh of relief, put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards No. 126 Market Avenue, no longer paying attention to the suspected fake Mr. Eve.
This is because the "Art of Transit" has been officially triggered and cannot be interrupted.
But it takes a process to show the effect, at least half a day, at least one day later, the fake Mr. Eve will be plagued by bad luck and frequent situations. At that time, if Lumian does a little more, he will have a high probability of One's own abnormalities are exposed to the eyes of the official Extraordinary.
After walking for a while, Lumian didn’t dare to get too close, considering that No. 126 Market Avenue is the residence of “Black Scorpion” Roger, which is actually the headquarters of the Stinger Gang. The cafe asked for a booth by the window, and ordered a cup of Filmer coffee and a cream donut.
While waiting for the food to be delivered, he looked around, not only at the pedestrians coming and going on the Market Avenue outside, but also at the posters pasted on the walls around the cafe.
The latter is dominated by the parliamentary elections that will officially start this Sunday.
There are three candidates, Matthew Boulanger of the National Party, Hugues Artois of the Enlightened Party and Jacques Sanson of the Change Party.
Lumian read with interest the various candidates' claims while keeping an eye out for everyone trying to get close to 126 Market Avenue:
Matthew Boulanger is the current Member of Parliament of the Candid Market District. His slogan is "Make Intis Glory Again". He believes that the defeat in the war with the Loen Kingdom a few years ago is the root of many current problems and must be restructured. Intis' army emphasizes that Intis should give priority to taking back the benefits lost in the southern continent, so as to feed back the country, boost the economy, and change the appearance of the market area.
He believes that in the process of "making Intis great again", people in the market area will get more jobs and more opportunities, including but not limited to going to the southern continent to make a fortune, joining the army, and benefiting from foreign trade wait.
Hugh Artois is a very popular candidate recently. His slogan is "more jobs, a fairer society". He declared that he would vigorously develop the economy, build more factories in the south of the market area, and abolish the bundled There are many restrictions on factory owners, bankers, financiers, and merchants, but in contrast, he intends to shake the privileges of the church and the wealthy class and collect more taxes from them.
Jacques Sanson of the Change Party advocates similarly to Hugues Artois, and they all believe that there should be no privileges in the current society. Whether you belong to the church’s property or come from financial income, you must pay the same as everyone else. Tax.
He also radically claimed that the current tariff policy hinders the development of Intis, especially the city wall and 54 checkpoints surrounding Trier, which should be torn down, and as long as the goods circulate and the market becomes free, There will be more factories, taxation will increase significantly, coupled with the taxation of the privileged class, the national treasury will quickly fill up after a short period of embarrassment.
At that time, he will fumble to establish an annuity guarantee system that Emperor Roselle once conceived, so that the laborers in the market area can obtain the most basic protection.
So, his catchphrase is "Tear down those **** walls!"
Lumian read it roughly and felt that if he was allowed to choose, he would vote for Jacques Sanson.
Regardless of whether this person has the ability to realize his proposition, for the people in the market area, cheaper wine and goods, and more security are the benefits they can really feel.
As for taxing the privileged class, they don't care too much, they just hope that one more Cope will not be taken from them.
But Jacques and Sanson were obviously treated differently. His propaganda posters were posted in the corners where they were least likely to be seen. This is also related to the fact that the Change Party has always been a minority in Congress.
Because the Stingers support Hugues Artois of the Enlightened Party, Lumian paid the most attention to this candidate. He not only read his election platform, but also carefully examined his color photos
This is a man in his thirties. His black hair is fluffy and thick, but his temples are a bit gray. He has a high nose bridge and a large nose tip. He has deep blue eyes. He is tall. He is dressed in formal attire and looks elegant.
"We can't let this guy be chosen...unless the Stingers are completely maimed before he is chosen, but behind the Stingers there is the mysterious 'Mrs. Another 'Red Scorpion'...Well, the election will officially start this Sunday, the Police Headquarters, the Gendarmerie and the official Extraordinary should all be mobilized to closely monitor each constituency, it is not so easy to make trouble...Let those of the Savoy Party Coolies, porters, and waiters play a role?" Lumian thought about how to get Matthew Boulanger and Jacques Sanson to get that congressional seat.
According to the laws of Intis, anyone who has lived in a constituency for half a year and has a job or is studying at a university has the right to register and vote in the constituency, and Lumian has not been in Trier for one month.
While thinking, he did not forget to look out the window, looking for the trace of Louis Lund.
After a long time, seeing that the golden sun had risen to the middle of the sky, Lumian felt that waiting was not an option:
This is because he has a problem with his identity, and he belongs to the target of the Stinger Gang's close attention. He can't squat directly opposite the house of "Black Scorpion" Roger, and hide in a certain building there. will be limited and prone to omissions.
The second is that as the leader of the Savoy Party, he has a lot of things to do, and he has to rest. It is impossible for him to stay on guard 24 hours a day for two consecutive days.
While thinking about it, Lumian had an idea:
"I have so many subordinates, and I paid for Anthony Reed, why do I have to come by myself?"
He stood up abruptly, left the cafe, and walked towards the Breeze Ballroom.
When he walked to the middle of Market Avenue, Lumian saw a lot of people surrounded by the side of the road, the outermost circle was a circle of policemen in black uniforms, and next to them were two rows of mounted policemen sitting on horseback watching the passers-by.
Surrounded by two or three hundred people was a temporary wooden platform, on which stood a man in a black suit but without a tie.
"We need jobs, we need more income
"I will build more workers in the Rue Saint-Geres generation
"I promise factory tax breaks...."
Yo, isn't this Mr. Hugues Artois? Lumian was much taller than Intis's average height, so he could clearly see the appearance of the speaker on the wooden platform.
That is the elegant, personable, black-haired and blue-eyed Hugues Artois, the candidate supported by the Stinger Gang!
Lumian stopped and listened for dozens of seconds, his eyes instinctively looked at the upper floors of the buildings behind and opposite Hugues Artois, and looked at the windows and roofs there.
Not surprisingly, he found signs of the police or people who obviously did not belong to the owners of the house in those places.
The protection is fairly tight... There is no way to shoot Hugues Artois's head and chest with a rifle at those positions... Lumi'an looked back with a little regret.
There is another way to make Hugh Artois lose the election, and that is to make him unable to participate in the election.
And the dead are automatically disqualified from running for office!
Lumian had seriously considered the feasibility of this method when he was in the cafe, but he thought it would be too much trouble, and the gangsters in the entire market area would probably be pulled out as scapegoats, and he himself was also in this category. At that time, there is a high probability that his identity will be exposed, and he will be forced to flee the market area, or even Trier, and lose the chance to track down Mrs. Puares and the priest.
From the current point of view, the difficulty of assassinating a candidate is quite high. Even if he succeeds in luck, he may not be able to escape.
Lumian turned his attention to a few people standing behind the wooden platform. They should all be members of Hugues Artois's campaign team, three men and two women.
Among them was a woman with red hair who was said to be of noble blood, with heroic features and a soft face, but overall, she was a slightly neutral beauty.
She was tall and tall, wearing a white and brown hunting suit, surrounded by four other people.
Lumian, who was afraid of missing Louis Lund, did not listen to Hugues Artois's speech, and withdrew from the crowd of onlookers, and walked back to the Breeze Ballroom.
At noon, there were no customers here, some waiters and bartenders were resting, and some were doing tidying up.
Lumian said to Louis and Sakota who came up:
"Give me four people to guard around 126 Market Avenue."
"No. 126..." Louis repeated first, and then blurted out in shock, "Isn't that the home of 'Black Scorpion' Roger?"
The boss wants to join the Stinger Gang again?
Lumian nodded frankly:
"Yes, don't get close, don't be spotted, just watch in different directions to see if he is among the passers-by."
Lumian pointed to the wanted posters posted on the wall by the police, and pointed to Louis Lund who was on the edge.
The arrest warrant that belonged to him was quietly changed after he joined the Sava Party and moved to a more inconspicuous place.
Luis and Sakota turned around and looked at the arrest warrant carefully, seeing words such as "Kordu Village".
They vaguely understood what they agreed to immediately:
"Yes, boss."
After the four gangsters left the Breeze Ballroom with a warrant, Lumian said to Louis and Sakota:
"You have been helping to maintain order in the dance hall on the first floor these days."
After giving the order, he said casually:
"I just listened to Hugues Artois's speech. It was not bad. Well, who does our Savoie Party support as a member of Congress in the market area?"
Louis glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"The Baron said before, vote for Monsieur Artois."
Some people died, but not completely dead...
