[民国奇探][乔楚生x路垚]烈士之死15
东风在五天后终于出现了。
这期间乔楚生身上有些伤口已经拆了线,不过有些较深的还在愈合。
乔四爷以往也没少受过伤,从来没有像现在这么迫切地期盼着自己快点恢复。
因为每次路垚给他换纱布清理伤口时的那个表情……四爷觉得再多几次自己的心脏就要受不了了。
偏偏三土十分担心感染,完全不接受让乔楚生自己处理伤口的提议。
四爷想说我以往都是自己照顾自己,也好好的活到现在……想想还是算了。
这天一早萨利姆来到公寓,带来了斯宾塞伯爵送到巡捕房的疑似凶器。
乔楚生拿起那把韦伯利转轮手枪,掂了掂,熟练地弹开弹巢,手指一划,弹巢快速旋转。
路垚在仔细阅读同枪一起送来的斯宾塞伯爵的信:
Dear Mr. Lu,
Please forgive the time it has taken for me to get back to you regarding the matter of the murder weapon. As I mentioned in our last conversation, my investigation process has been hampered by the habit of prevarication in this matter among my men. I finally received a tip yesterday that led me to one of my lieutenants, who apparently tried to replace a lost weapon a few weeks ago. After extensive questioning, he admitted to having misplaced his service revolver, but then recovered it again. Interestingly, he appears to have lost it at a hotel during a liaison with a Chinese girl, whom he had been seeing for about a month. The revolver was later returned to him by hotel management. I have sent it along for your "forensic ballistics." It is my sincere hope that this will help forward your investigation.
