The super luxurious suites on the fifth floor of the Hausville Peninsula Hotel have old facilities but there are many rooms and plenty of space.
The idle team, plus Lu Ming, Yu Luan, Heitou, and bald Quickson, can accommodate nine people.
The hotel's facilities are outdated and its reputation is not good, but it still sticks to its old ways. The five floors of the hotel are all luxury suites. The top five floors have two sets of super luxury suites with more than a dozen rooms. The prices are high, so where will the customers come from
In the study, Lu Ming looked at the coded letter. There were some books at hand. He checked them one by one and shook his head every time.
He doesn't need to know too much about Western languages. If the first few letters don't form a phrase, the book is wrong.
Because it is a very simple coded letter, nine digits represent a code, and every three digits represent the page number, line number, and word number respectively.
But precisely because of its simplicity, it is difficult to crack if the correct code book is not found.
On the other side, Yin Shabel and Han Annie also used some books to try the coded letter.
In fact, Bald Quickson, Yin Shabel's followers and people around her were also working hard to decipher the letter.
It was Yin Shabel's suggestion to deliberately stay at the Peninsula Hotel, but it was exactly what Lu Ming wanted.
There was a knock on the study door, and Yu Luan's crisp voice said, "Master, Mr. Rooney is here to visit you."
Han Annie and Yin Shabeier both looked up in surprise. Han Annie's bright eyes flashed, wondering if this guy could get some clues about the code book from Rooney. However, if the other party made the code book himself, then he could only use force.
…
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception room, there is a beautiful view of the golden beach and the blue sea.
Although floor-to-ceiling windows with views were installed, they were obviously inconsistent with the layout of the room and lost the visual enjoyment.
Rooney sat opposite Lu Ming, sipping his coffee slowly and smiling slightly: "Mr. Lu, what are your plans after buying this place?"
Lu Ming's team from Donghai is already talking to him.
Lu Ming shook his head. "Renovation, a major renovation. Moreover, I am going to launch an apartment-style hotel model. To put it simply, the hotel will be converted into smaller suites, with about 20 rooms per floor, which means more than 100 rooms. Then, we will sell them to the public. From a private perspective, it can be used as an investment. People can stay here for vacation and let the hotel take care of it. When guests move into the rooms purchased by investors, the hotel and the investors will share the profits according to a certain ratio."
"If promoted properly, this type of tourist apartment hotel will easily become a hot spot, and it will not be difficult to sell it to the outside world, and it will not be difficult to attract tourists in the future. Even these more than 100 investors will become our loyal promoters."
Rooney was stunned for a moment, then he sighed, "Mr. Lu is really a business genius!" He smiled again, "I'm relieved now, Mr. Lu, I've already told my team that the hotel and the club will be sold to you for a symbolic price of 10,000 yuan, and I've also given full authorization to my wife. If you agree, your team and my team will reach an agreement tomorrow, and you and my wife can officially sign the contract."
He smiled mysteriously again: "It's hard to find a soulmate, right?"
Lu Ming was slightly startled: "Authorize it to your wife?"
Rooney smiled and said, "Yes, I came here today not only to talk business with you, but also to surrender myself to the Special Investigation Bureau. You are an officer of the Special Investigation Bureau, right?"
Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "I'm not an official investigator. Wait a minute, I'll call someone over!"
Rooney smiled, "Okay, I'll wait."
…
Lu Ming was in the outer room, slowly lighting a cigar. In the inner room, Han Annie and Quickson were taking Rooney's statement.
"Teacher, are you worried about something?" Yin Shabel walked over and sat down next to Lu Ming naturally. She was wearing a snow-white dress and sapphire crystal high-heeled sandals. Her pair of snow-white jade feet painted with light blue nail polish were delicate and tempting. This beautiful girl turned into a gorgeous girl. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, she can really be very pretty. It depends on how she dresses to show her youthful or mature temperament.
There was a faint fragrance, and she was very close to him. Lu Ming felt helpless. She was only eighteen or nineteen years old, in her prime, and not a little girl like Bisi. It would be difficult to treat her as a daughter. You feel like you have found your father's love, but the psychological difficulties I have to overcome are not ordinary ones.
"I also find it a bit strange. It's very weird that this guy suddenly turned himself in!" Yin Shabel asked and answered herself, thinking that the teacher was also thinking about this question.
Lu Ming was not surprised by the twists and turns of the case. He was involved in all of it. He just didn't expect that the other party would choose to surrender himself, and it was Rooney who surrendered.
In fact, Lu Ming had deciphered the coded letter on the first day he returned to Hausville.
The coded letter was not very long. If each code represented a Griffinian letter, then the letter might be just a dozen words.
Lu Ming and Rooney had been to his study several times to discuss business. He was a little surprised to see several Zhongzhou books in his study, because although Rooney could speak Zhongzhou dialect, he obviously did not like Zhongzhou culture. Lu Ming was deeply impressed by those books.
He secretly asked Yu Luan to buy a comparison and then tried out the code book.
Afterwards, Lu Ming also wrote a coded letter and asked Yu Luan to secretly deliver it to Rooney's office. Of course, even Rooney did not see Yu Luan.
The team stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, which made it very convenient for Yu Luan to do things.
Lu Ming's letter meant that it was impossible to keep secret the assassination of Duke Haussburg by your organization. In order to preserve the flame, you had better cut off your tail as soon as possible and sacrifice some members of your organization to keep the hope of the remaining members continuing the flame.
In the letter, Lu Ming also used the phrase "it's hard to find a soulmate".
When Rooney met Lu Ming, he also said "it's hard to find a soulmate".
Lu Ming knew that he should have some suspicion that he was the one who secretly tipped off them, but he was not sure.
Selling the property to oneself for ten thousand yuan is actually a kind of return.
Of course, on the surface, there is nothing strange about this kind of negative asset being half-sold and half-given away.
He did not expect that Rooney's organization would resolve the matter by surrendering himself, and it was Rooney who surrendered himself.
It seems that Rooney's position in the organization is much higher than he thought, because if a very important leader is not sacrificed and half of the organization is not wiped out, this shocking case will indeed be difficult to resolve.
In particular, the root of the problem has been found, the coded letters have been intercepted and cracked, and the mysterious man's secret help is only to buy time for them.
Looking at Yin Shabel who was frowning in thought, Lu Ming said, "Forget it. From today on, this case is no longer our responsibility. We have done what we should do."
Yin Shabeier thought for a moment and said, "Teacher is right!" She stretched out her snow-white hand and said, "Then teacher, don't even think about it. Give me the cigar. Smoking too much is bad for your health!"
Lu Ming had no choice but to hand over the cigar. At this time, there was a knock on the door and Quickson and Han Annie walked in.
"It seems that the case is almost complete. Most of what he confessed is true!" Quickson was a little excited. "The details of the assassination plan are very clear, and they can be corroborated with the assassination incident one by one. In addition, when we first came to Hausville, he ordered people to set fire and set up a fake fire alarm. He wanted to steal materials while we were still unstable to see what clues we found. He confessed all of these."
"In addition, he also confessed a lot of people, including..." Quickson paused, "Who would have thought that the chief councilor of the Hausburg family is also an important figure in the separatist organization?!" Looking at Han Annie who was holding a densely packed list, Quickson said, "Director Han, what should we do?"
Annie Han is the senior deputy director of investigations, two levels higher than Quixon.
As for Yin Shabel, the senior investigation director, Quickson knew that he couldn't get along with her.
"You and I will go report to Minister Nelson!" Han Annie glanced at Yin Shabel.
Yin Shabel left all the investigation procedures to her, so she nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."
Quixon smiled bitterly: "Now there will be hundreds of political prisoners in prison again, oh!"
He should have vaguely realized that there must be other reasons for Rooney's surrender, and that his surrender turned the assassination into a political incident. According to imperial law, several executors had already died. According to Rooney's account, several direct planners might be sent to the gallows, and the rest would be thrown into jail as political prisoners. In fact, this was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
But for his boss, such a conclusion would make everyone happy. For political incidents, the faster and more low-key they are handled, the better.
He shook his head, and he couldn't be too serious about finding out the real purpose of Rooney's surrender.
He glanced at Lu Ming again and said with a wry smile, "Advisor Lu, I'm afraid you will be a popular figure in this bureau from now on."
Less than half a month after the action was taken, the case was solved, forcing an important figure from the other party to surrender.
Moreover, there were no more violent incidents, such as the need to send a large number of police officers to carry out a siege, which was what the superiors were most happy to see.
It seems that my recommendation of Lao Lu was not in vain.
As for Ms. Yin Shabel and her followers, they will also have a great addition to their resumes, having made remarkable achievements right after joining the Special Investigation Bureau.
This kind of real talent will gradually build her prestige, rather than those second-generation rich and fancy aristocrats who live off their past achievements.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
However, Quixon smiled bitterly. If things continued like this, he felt that the empire would be riddled with holes and have too many hidden dangers, just like a giant covered with boils. If he didn't have the heart to endure the pain and cut off these boils, he would be terminally ill sooner or later.
On the other side, Lu Ming was thinking that according to the values of this world, Rooney would not be regarded as a traitor by the separatists. On the contrary, his reputation would be greatly improved after going to jail. After all, he might not be able to get out of prison for life unless there was an amnesty or something like that.
But there is no problem for him to release news to the outside world and remotely control the separatist organization.
He vaguely guessed that he had helped his organization, but he wasn't sure it was him, which was for the best.
