Durin's Diary

Chapter 128 The Product of Fate

Louis was sitting on the curb by the roadside. The young man, dressed in casual clothes today, was smoking a cigarette and sitting like a gangster.

It all started an hour ago when a fellow church member who knew him well came to him anxiously and said that they had just discovered a Links species that the Alvin family had been secretly looking for while strolling near a horse farm in the suburbs.

Yumi.

Yes, that's the name.

This name was found by the family's prophet through several predictions, and it should be related to the death of cousin Robbie.

Although all Links species look similar, they heard someone call the Links cub that.

So when he came back, he immediately found Louis and told him.

Louis came here with his good brother and the old butler, hoping to see that boy again.

Thinking of this, Louis frowned again - just last night, news came from the Archdiocese of the Church of the God of Machinery and Craftsmen in southern Sidney that Louis' mentor Saror was transferred to the headquarters.

This is a clear promotion but a hidden reduction.

Has the tutor ever offended anyone?

Thinking of this, the church member muttered while drinking beer. The long and fruitless wait made him look a little anxious: "I really saw that Links kid appear on the second floor of the small building over there."

He made such an excuse, but Louis didn't care - one church member might have seen or heard it wrong, but since several church members had just said so, it could definitely not be wrong.

More than ten minutes passed, and finally, Louis and his fellow believers saw a Links kid appear on the balcony. He was carrying a large basket full of clothes. He must have wanted to take advantage of the good weather today to hang all the clothes out to dry.

"It does look like him." Although the old butler is old, his eyesight is better than that of ordinary young people.

Just then, another Links girl came out: "Yumi, didn't the boss tell you not to come out?"

"Oh my god, I was just trying to help you," he complained.

Louis sighed and stood up.

The old butler followed with his servants, and several good brothers also followed.

"Do you know whose property this is?" Louis asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

The old butler thought for a moment and said, "The properties around here should all belong to the Utari Brotherhood."

"Fuck, how is it related to Higgins?" Louis' friend behind him cursed.

"It's only natural that his gang is a mixed bag," Louis said as he pulled out his pistol. "Kill them all, leaving only him alive. If this incident has nothing to do with Higgins, I'll personally apologize. If it does, I'll have to make sure the Utari family is extinct."

"I believe this matter has nothing to do with Master Higgins. He can't even take care of himself, so how can he take care of these gangsters under his father's name." The old butler laughed.

This made Louis laugh - yes, he was always fooling around with women, how could a bastard who couldn't even take care of himself achieve such a big career?

The group walked around, the old butler was responsible for guarding the front door, and Louis and his men kicked open the back door.

"Who are you?" The dwarf who was reading a book in a rocking chair in the yard sat up.

Louis did not answer, but the church member behind him had already responded with a crossbow, and the crossbow arrows nailed the dwarf to the chair.

Louis walked towards the small building, raised his gun and knocked down the Links kid who opened the door with an axe.

Gunshots were fired.

But it didn't matter. There weren't many people in the yard, and Louis didn't even have a chance to fire a second shot before they captured the Links kid named Yumi Salander. He jumped from the balcony, but before he could get more than a few steps, the old housekeeper and his men stopped him. "Yummi, do you know how my cousin and his family died?" Louis raised his gun and knocked the captured Links girl to the ground.

"Take him away." After saying that, Louis turned and walked towards the oncoming carriage.

No one noticed that a halfling sitting in the stable was releasing pigeons.

No one noticed that one of the young people sitting in the shade of a tree near the nearby exchange stood up and walked towards the exchange.

………………

Higgins found out what had happened fifteen minutes after the safe house was breached.

It was no longer important to discuss who was right or wrong at this time. What was important was that he had to rescue Yumi from the hands of the damned Irwin family members before he could tell everything.

If he cannot be fished out, at least he should be killed and the possible ritual of communicating with the dead should be cut off.

Thinking of this, Higgins looked at his butler. The Osso species was too big a target. "Uncle Yuri, ask the boys down there if anyone has seen where Mr. Dulin appeared."

Although he did not monitor Du Lin, Higgins still set up a number of fixed observation points - at least to grasp Mr. Du Lin's whereabouts and never let him have the chance to watch him dance ballet again.

Soon the question had an answer. Knowing that Dulin had taken the girls on a car to the Extraordinary Market today, Higgins immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to find Mr. Dulin. Uncle Yuri, prepare a team of messengers. I want to be the first to know where that idiot Louis took Yumi."

"I understand, sir, but is Mr. Du Lin really that reliable?"

"Everyone says so, so I can only believe it. Also, prepare the emergency carriage. As long as we can bring Yumi out, we must send this kid out of Copenhagen as soon as possible." After saying that, Higgins put on his windbreaker and walked towards the exit.

………………

At the same time, Peck Nash put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the halfling who took the letter from the pigeon's leg: "Yummi was arrested?"

"Yes, our men were following the captors' carriage and discovered they weren't heading for the secret police base. We also recognized Louis Irving as the leader. They must have discovered Yumi's name or identity through divination, and then by chance discovered Yumi's safe house. We also recognized two people in the team who had appeared near the horse farm this morning." The halfling looked at the letter in his hand and whispered, "We must rescue Yumi, Lord Peck, or no one will be willing to cooperate with us."

"Of course, let's go now. If there's any new information on the way, I want to know it first."

"Of course, sir." The halfling said as he snapped his fingers, and a nearby taxi immediately drove over.

"Don't worry, sir, we are one of us." The halfling said as he opened the car door and got in first.

Peck smiled at the coachman and followed him into the carriage.

Instead of sitting down, the halfling opened the carriage seat and unlocked it with the key in his hand.

He took out a revolver and a dagger: "Sir, is there anything you need?"

"I already have one." Peck showed the holster under his suit.

At this moment, a new pigeon landed by the carriage window. The halfling, acting as a pigeon handler, received new information. He took a look and snorted, "Sir, we have company. A young couple, riding a tandem bicycle, are leisurely following the carriage."

"You mean there is another group of people following us? Could they be from the Utari family?" Peck had heard about the Utari family and knew that this family was not simple.

"I don't know, but at least they're not the secret police." The halfling opened the small window at the front of the carriage and said, "Sean, hurry up."

"I know, but the old horse can't go any faster."

He said this while steering the carriage forward.

　The character card has been made, but Du Lin's small picture is wrong. Please refer to the large picture for reference. I will correct the small picture when the time comes.

　　I will put the big picture in the Easter egg chapter
