Chapter: 435

Mr. K asked the waiter who led Lumian into the ground to take the diamond necklace and looked at it in his hand.

Vaguely, Lumian seemed to see a little golden light seeping out from the shadow of Mr. K's hood.

After a few seconds, Mr. K put the diamond necklace back into the waiter's hand: "It's fake, the workmanship is fairly fine, and it's worth 50 Filkin."

"Okay." Lumian did not hide his helplessness, but instead said, "Also, I need a set of identification."

An important reason why he has been living in the "Golden Rooster Hotel" is that there is no ID card.

After receiving Mr. K's affirmative answer, he left No. 19 Scheer Street and returned to Candide Market in a public carriage. Lumian sometimes thought about how to join a certain gang without attracting suspicion, and sometimes guessed that the severed finger might be What role does it play, and sometimes think about how to get those pawnshops to pay more money for the fake diamond necklace, at least 3 Filkin...

Amid all kinds of thoughts, Lumian gradually came up with an idea.

At the same time, he planned to find a safe house in the Candide Market area and the Botanical Garden before the afternoon, the kind that didn't require identification.

"I still have 850 Felkins and 24 Copes on me now, deducting the information dealer Anthony. The final payment of 400 from Reid has not been given, and the remaining 450 Felkins are enough to rent two or three safe houses..." Lumian carefully calculated how much assets he still has.

He pursed his lips and felt that it was necessary to put Mr. K's severed finger in the Golden Rooster Hotel before renting a room.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, Lumian found a room on White Coat Street in the Candide Market District and Stone Street in the Botanical Garden that did not require identification.

Of course, the rent has a certain premium. The former is not much better than Room 207 of the "Golden Rooster Hotel", but it costs 6 Filkin per week. The latter is more similar to the apartment rented by Aosta Trull, and the neighbors around A worker in the factory in the south, 10 Felkin per week.

Lumian paid four weeks' rent at a time, but did not receive any concessions.

Back at the "Golden Rooster Hotel", he watched "Men's Aesthetics" for a while, softened his own edges and corners with cosmetics, added shadows in some places, and trimmed his eyebrows.

After a while of busy work, Lumian completed the initial disguise, which made him look like an ordinary man in his twenties with a dangerous temperament.

After combing his blond and black hair, he put on his dark blue peaked cap, took Mr. K's severed finger, and walked all the way to the Breeze Ballroom on Market Avenue.

He didn't go in directly like other guests, he stopped between the khaki-colored building and the white spherical statue composed of countless heads, and said to the two gangsters guarding the gate: "I want to see Baron Brinel. "

Without waiting for the two gangsters to come back, he added: "You tell the Baron, it's Charles who met last time. He should be very happy to see me again."

The two gangsters looked at each other. After all, they didn't dare to delay Baron Brinel's business, so they separated one of them and entered the ballroom.

In less than five minutes, the gang member came out and said to Lumian, "The baron asked you to go to the place where we met last time."

The cafe on the second floor? Lumian smiled, put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly into the Breeze Ballroom, and went up the stairs, where he saw Baron Brinel holding a mahogany pipe.

This gentleman was wearing a black suit made of fine tweed, with a half-height silk top hat on his hand, and a shiny ring on his left palm. He was protected by four gangsters behind him.

"Sit." Baron Brinel swept his brown eyes, smiled and pointed to the seat opposite the table.

Lumian walked over generously, sat down, looked at Baron Brinel's deep-lined face and natural curly brown hair, and said, "Good afternoon, we meet again."

Baron Brinel knocked on the bottom of the mahogany pipe and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Lumian took out Charlie's fake diamond necklace, and said calmly, "I'm a little short of money recently, and I want to mortgage this necklace to you. It's worth 1,500 Filkin. Just give me 1,000."

Baron Brinel turned his head to his opponent and said, "Go find someone to identify it."

"Yes, Baron." A gangster thug with obvious bruises on his forehead walked out of the cafe.

Brinell looked at Lumian again, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, makeup technology has improved significantly, although there are still many flaws, compared to before, you are no longer so easy to be recognized at a glance .”

"Thank you for your suggestion." Lumian laughed, "Men's Aesthetics is a good magazine."
