Sensitively noticing the unusual meowing, Jenkins noticed the reminder of the chocolate, and when he turned around, he just saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat leaving the hall in a hurry. This is the person who has been following him since he came to the city hall. In fact, when he came to Beldyland, he was often followed by people when he went out in public, but the stalkers were ordinary people, so he didn't care, he Knowing that it was sent by Queen Isabella to monitor and protect him.
"So when will the Queen summon me? I won't see you again. I'm going back next week."
Thinking in his heart, he watched the man who was hiding his panic disappear at the door of the hall. When the man was leaving, he passed a tall, thin foreigner with a Cheslan look. The foreigner who entered the door also looked very flustered, standing there as if looking for someone in the hall, but obviously there was no target for him, so he walked to the corridor on the left.
Boom, boom, boom~
The sudden sound made the entire third floor freeze. Jenkins widened his eyes and walked quickly to the sofa:
"It's gunshots, don't walk around, stay here. It sounds like it's coming from the first floor."
His voice was soft but powerful. As the only male in the tour group, the girls naturally believed him. As for the other people in the hall, they naturally recognized the sound just now as three gunshots. Although they didn't know what happened downstairs, it was definitely not a good thing.
Because the area of the city hall complex is too large, there are more than one staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, so it is definitely impossible to block the floors now. The crowd did not leave the spot, and most of them held their breath and listened carefully. As expected, another gunshot came from almost the same location, and Hathaway, who had the best hearing, even recognized that it was different from the gunshot just now. There are small differences, and it's definitely not the same gun that's being pulled.
"You can't stay here, find a room to hide first."
Jenkins made a decision immediately. He didn't worry about the bullets himself, but there were too many people in the company. If a gunfight happened around him, it would be difficult for him to keep everyone. It happened that some people with panicked faces came from the second floor to the third floor. Under their leadership, all the people in the hall left here and entered the corridor of the government office area that was not open to the public.
At this time, there were at least a few hundred people on the third floor. In the sporadic gunshots downstairs, everyone realized that a group of people had just rushed into the city hall with guns. The other guards collided.
Today is the public opening day, which is a special day that requires extra security protection, so there are a large number of guards and security personnel inside the city hall. Before the people on the first and second floors fled to the third floor, the guards of the city hall had already gained the upper hand, and it was believed that the gunfire downstairs would soon die down.
Just as they estimated, the sporadic gunshots lasted less than ten minutes and then stopped. The worried people waited for a while to confirm that there was no danger, and then they felt relieved and wanted to send someone downstairs to confirm.
Naturally, it is not the turn of the tour group to do this kind of work. Jenkins watched the young man in uniform volunteer to go to the stairs, touched the cat on his shoulder, and then took a step to the side without any trace. In front of Britney.
Boom~
There was another gunshot, but the difference was that the gunshot appeared at the stairs on the third floor. The young man who wanted to deliver the letter was so frightened that he fell to the ground and crawled back to the corridor. Holding a small pistol, the man with the muzzle pointing upwards walked up from the second floor.
He seemed to be in a very bad condition, walking with a limp, and his black coat had been stained dark red by the blood flowing from his right chest. When he came to the third floor, the blood dripping behind him almost left a line on the stairs, but he still walked up tenaciously, observing the people in the corridor one by one with fierce eyes.
"Don't move, I will kill anyone who moves!"
This is a foreigner with a Cheslan look, and he speaks Fidictli very poorly. He seemed to be trying to find someone in the crowd, but there were too many people crowded in the corridor, and anyone who wanted to hide could just bend slightly and hide in the crowd.
"All Cheslans stand up! I'm only looking for Cheslans!"
He shouted to the crowd, the people he was looking at subconsciously wanted to see if there was such a foreigner around him, Jenkins squinted his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the foreigner who just passed by the guy who was following him was sticking Wall bent his knees slightly, trying to make himself look shorter.
"you!"
I don't know if Jenkins is too conspicuous among the women, or because he is very unlucky and standing too far ahead, the gunman suddenly pointed his gun at him:
"Did you see the Cheslans?"
"About ten minutes ago, when I walked to the third floor, I saw a group of Cheslans leaving the city hall."
"No, not that group of people, that group of people are bait!"
He said hysterically, and asked again:
"There are others! There must be other Cheslans here! Tell me! Or I'll kill you!"
Jenkins felt someone grab his dress from behind, and he knew it was the blond girl. So he shook his head to signal her not to be nervous, and then hinted Hathaway with his eyes not to do anything.
"So, what are the characteristics of the person you are looking for?"
"They are traitors! They betrayed Cheslan!"
The eyes of the two met, and the man with the gun subconsciously spoke his mind. He was slightly surprised, but the extreme anger and the fear of failure in his actions had made him care less.
"Tell me, where is the Cheslan hiding here?"
His muzzle was trembling dangerously, the pain and panic had made him unable to hold the gun steadily. Such a person is the most dangerous, because even he himself does not know when he will accidentally pull the trigger.
"Sir, if you want an answer, hold your gun steady."
Jenkins warned.
"Tell me, where's the hiding Cheslan? I know you're trying to stall, yes, the people downstairs will rush up, but before I do, I swear I'll let you know, my There are a few bullets in the magazine."
Excessive blood loss and fear made him almost insane.
"I'm a nobleman, so I won't lie."
Even Jenkins knew there was no logic in what he said:
"Relax, you'll find out where he is soon!"
As he said, he raised his hands and wanted to take a step forward, but unexpectedly, this made the other party completely out of control:
"Don't come here, I'm going to kill you!"
While speaking, he aimed his gun straight at Jenkins' head, and at the same time, two groups of people rushed out of the crowd in the corridor, jumping out desperately to block Jenkins.
The two groups didn't expect others to make the same move, but in this messy charge, the direction of the muzzle has changed. So those people made a concerted effort to rush at the Cheslan man with the gun. Of course, the seriously injured man was not their opponent, and he was subdued without firing a single shot.
After that, the people downstairs also arrived in time, and the small disturbance was completely subsided. Although the last part of the experience was a bit dangerous, in fact, it took only ten minutes from the incident to the end. Except for the gangsters who broke into the city hall and the unlucky guards at the gate, no one was even injured.
"Jenkins, who rushed out to help you block the gun just now?"
The tour group did not leave immediately after the criminals were arrested, because they were worried that there were still criminals on the street, so Jenkins and the ladies temporarily rested in the conference room on the third floor. Not all tourists can be treated like this, because not every tour group has so many noble children.
"The group of northerners should be related to Dolores, and I probably met by chance today; the group who rushed out first, I should be sorry, I can't guess..."
He answered Britney's question, but guessed it.
"Perhaps it was sent by Her Majesty to protect you."
The blonde girl whispered, and Jenkins looked at her pretending to be surprised. By saying this, Britney basically admitted that she knew the Williams family's secrets.
"is that so… "
He asked softly, but Brienne didn't answer. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, just as Hathaway was trying to find a new topic to discuss the identities of the gang of thugs, there was a light knock on the door of the meeting room, and the guards sent to protect everyone opened the door vigilantly. After a glance, the man who wiped his sweat and smiled awkwardly was let in.
This is Mr. Orbis Wesley, the mayor of Beldyland, whose photo Jenkins has seen. Perhaps in the eyes of the citizens, the mayor is undoubtedly one of the big figures in the city, but in fact, because of the unique political system of the Kingdom of Fidgetli and the various methods the royal family has adopted to check and balance the power of the parliament, the king The mayor of Dubbel Dylan is actually not even as influential in the country as the mayor of Norland, Sachs Ruto.
You must know that Mr. Ruto, who once participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Nolan's first street lamp with Jenkins, can really affect Nolan and its surrounding areas. influence is negligible. There are too many bureaucrats and nobles who are more powerful than him in this city. The actual jurisdiction of this city does not depend on the municipal department.
"Ladies and gentlemen, oh, and Baron William, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I'm really sorry that this happened to you. But please don't worry, the criminals have been caught, and the sound laws of our country must will give them the fullest sanction."
Mr. Mayor said with a reluctant smile that he did not come to visit such a group of "troublesome" guests voluntarily.
