How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

After visiting several well-known private clinics in succession, he said that the situation was serious. After promising generous rewards, he sent three doctors with different fields of expertise to the carriage to Joestar's house.

Yu Gongcui watched the black carriage drive away at high speed, the hooves of the horses and the spinning wheels separated the sewage, and the black London in the reflection became blurred.

He didn't wait until the water ripples stopped, he drooped his eyes on the side of the road and fell silent for a while, then turned and walked into the side alley - not far to the west was a slum with scattered low bungalows.

The road under our feet gradually turned into bare land, which became more and more muddy in the rainy days.The narrow alley can only accommodate two people passing by each other, and the nose is filled with a faint rancid smell. Compared with the majestic street covered with red bricks outside, it seems to be two completely different worlds.

A spotless white shirt was exposed from the cuffs and neckline of the black tuxedo, and there was a silver collar pin decorated with gemstones pinned to it. Just standing there, Yu Gongcui, who broke in abruptly, became a foreign object that was incompatible with the surrounding scene.

There were few pedestrians on the street, he ignored the strange eyes cast by the bystanders, walked forward calmly, and finally found a dilapidated tavern with a half-open door at a slightly open intersection.

The moment he opened the door and stepped in, the laughter and scolding inside the tavern stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their attention to this noble boy who seemed to have gone to the wrong set, which contained undisguised rejection and suspicion.

Yu Gongcui didn't care, and stepped forward alone in this suffocating silence, took out a few banknotes with a sense of weight from her arms, and placed them on the round table in the center of the tavern.

"Excuse me, I want to know about Brando's house. The West End is only so big, and everyone is neighbor to each other, so they should know something. So, is there anyone in the know who can help me with this trivial matter? Are you busy?"

Someone looked at the numbers on the banknotes and swallowed silently.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, waiting for the first warrior to eat crabs, and at the corner, a drunk with disheveled hair burped for a long time, and cursed uncleanly.

"Here, hiccup, it's not a place for those policemen who sit on the side of their buttocks! You brat with no hair, leave the money now and get out, I'm still thinking of killing you—"

Before the thoughtful men exchanged glances, Yu Gongcui reached into her arms again, took out a shiny black wheel, flicked her thumb, and flipped the safety off with a snap.

"..."

The drunkard's voice stopped abruptly, and he fell headfirst on the table, as if he was finally lulled to sleep by the effect of alcohol.

Yugong Cui once again looked around at the quiet crowd in the tavern, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a disappointed tone: "What's wrong, everyone, does no one know?"

He pulled out the banknotes again, and stacked them on the round table unhurriedly.The vacillating eyes that were excited by the sidelines came together again, becoming more enthusiastic than before, and finally someone couldn't help coughing, and spoke slightly stammeringly.

"You... are you talking about Brando, who got lucky and went to join the nobles?"

Yu Gongcui's eyes flashed, and she pushed the stack of banknotes forward with a smile on her face, without delaying: "That's right. Please explain in detail, I want to hear."

Under Yu Gongcui's encouraging eyes, the man came up to take the reward tremblingly, pinched and licked and appraised against the sun, his expression gradually changed from suspicion to ecstasy, and the atmosphere of the tavern became warmer.

Everyone is eager to speak, racking their brains to pull out the fragmentary memories of the past, maybe they can get a lot of money from this outsider with a face full of stupid people and a lot of money!

"Ah, it turned out to be that kid, I even played chess with him!"

"That's right, it's the guy named Dio, isn't he? It's his father who saved a nobleman, so he got lucky—a scum like Dalio, who kindly saves people? Pfft, I'm laughing to death Already!"

"The rumors are not all true. In the years before Dalio's death, even his wife's relics were used as wine. If there is any relationship, how could he be so embarrassed!"

"If you want me to say that Dior is also very unlucky, with this kind of father, he will be ruined for the rest of his life. I heard from the owner of the pawnshop that the child was unwilling to sell his mother's skirt at that time. Hiss, he was beaten so badly by his father..."

Yu Gongcui pursed her lips and listened, from time to time.Insert a sentence or two to steer the conversation in the right direction.

"That's a scum, believe that God will not forgive such a crime. That Dalio, he must have died in the torment of illness?"

This idealistic inference was unanimously confirmed by everyone in the tavern.

"It took about half a year—bedridden, with a swollen throat, fingers swollen to the point where he couldn't grasp things, and it took him a long time to die. I have to say, it was a good thing for the kid."

...Good thing.

After that, Dior found Joestar's house according to the information left by his father, and was adopted by a gentleman who followed the principles of a gentleman. Beaten bothered.

Dior was the only and the biggest beneficiary of Dalio's death--in front of Amamiya Tsui, he had also settled his suspicions indifferently.

And six years ago, the symptoms of that alcoholic before his death were so similar to those of Sir Joestar today.

So he tasted the sweetness of patricide, and couldn't wait to do it again after he became an adult?

There also seems to be an explanation for the drop in trust.Dio Brando, no longer intends to play house wine-like trading games with him.

After grabbing enough benefits from him, this person was already planning to kick him away.Control the entire Joestar family by their own means.

——This kind of resolute attitude of mercilessly turning his face and stabbing a knife is worthy of being a born villain.

After collecting enough information, the silent Yu Gongcui left enough money and let everyone in the tavern scramble, planning to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the half-closed door of the tavern, and hadn't taken two or three steps, he found that the man who provided the information at the beginning rubbed his hands and followed behind him with a flattering face.

The other party's demeanor did not seem malicious, so Yu Gongcui was not so nervous that he drew his gun to face each other, but asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." The man's eyes slid over the pearly silver collar pin on his collar, his attitude became more excited and attentive, and his waist was bent even lower, "Do you want to go to Brando's house?" Do you want to see the old site? I can lead the way, I am familiar with this area!"

But Yu Gongcui's type is only to confirm a certain conjecture, now that it has been implemented, other redundant actions are unnecessary.Seeing the lack of interest on the gold master's face, the man suddenly became anxious, and racked his brains to recommend himself: "What about the cemetery? The pawn shop? If you plan to leave, I can call a carriage for you!"

... Shocked by this person's highly enthusiastic service attitude, Yugong Cuigang was about to politely refuse, but suddenly noticed something, and pinched her chin thoughtfully.

"A pawn shop... I remember you said just now that Dior's mother's clothes were sold."

The other party immediately understood what he meant, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"After all, it's been so long—but if you go and see for yourself, maybe a miracle will happen!"

Yu Gongcui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she felt a little embarrassed not to be paid just for the sake of hard recommendation.He took out the banknote and handed it over, beckoning the other party to lead the way: "Then I will trouble you."

The pawn shop is located at the junction of the slums and the urban area. The streets here are a bit more spacious, and the shop is a little more formal. There are also a lot of decorations such as glass windows and colorful signboards, but it looks a little old and dark because it hasn't been renovated for a long time.

Yu Gongcui looked at the obviously outdated red dresses on the dolls through the window, walked into the store under the guidance of the guide, and explained her intentions to the old and dim-eyed old mother-in-law behind the counter.

"Dario Brando?" The old lady rolled her eyes, looking confused, "It's been too long, who is this person, I don't know!"

Yugong Cui said in her heart that it was indeed so, and she was ready to retreat, but the guide seemed a little unwilling, and rushed up, slamming on the counter, and quarreled with the old man angrily.

"Don't know? You fart! You still remember the wedding ring my grandma bought 15 years ago, why are you so blind today... the money owner?!"

"How could that guy be a customer of a small shop like mine? He just came here to inquire about news! It's impossible to want to prostitute in front of my old lady for nothing—huh?!"

Yu Gongcui was holding the silver collar pin that had been removed, and the gems inlaid on it added a bright light to the old lady's cloudy eyeballs.

"About that lady's belongings, I intend to use this in exchange. In this case, you will probably be able to remember something, right?"

After rushing over and snatching away the ornament with a quick movement that doesn't match her age, the old man smiled with wrinkles all over his face, expressing that he was worried that Yu Gongcui would suddenly regret it in the next second, she rushed to the window and grabbed the old mannequin. The old-fashioned long skirt wrapped around her body was torn off, and amidst the dust flying all over the sky, she stuffed the obviously faded clothes into the arms of the guest.

"That's all that's left. Here, Mrs. Brando's name is still embroidered here. Don't think about going back on the exchange you agreed!"

"how come?"

Folding the water-red long skirt, Amamiya Tsui's complexion was a bit complicated, "This is... a very important thing."

----------------------

As it was getting late, Yu Gongcui had no choice but to stay in London for one night, and set off in a carriage early the next morning, and rushed back to the mansion.

However, the moment I entered the door, I found that the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

An unusual sense of anxiety and depression permeated the mansion. Everyone was in a hurry, deliberately avoiding meeting other people's eyes.Yugong Cui frowned, grabbed a servant casually, and asked, "Where is the young master?"

The latter shrank his neck and replied cautiously: "I went to London, I just left this morning."

Ah, just missed it.

But the doctor has been invited, what is Jonathan doing in London at this time?

Elena was taking care of the comatose Sir Joestar on the second floor, and several doctors were discussing something outside the bedroom.Yu Gongcui asked a few more people, and finally figured out the source of the unusual atmosphere.

Early this morning, Jonathan suddenly announced that the master's medicine could not pass through the hands of outsiders. After the front foot was prepared by the doctor, Elena took the back foot to the bedside and gave it to his father. Molecules suspected that the medicine had been tampered with.

Now the servants looked left and right, feeling that each other was suspicious, and could only pray in fear that Sir would get well soon so as to prove his innocence.

As expected of JOJO, he didn't even have to go to the slums to collect evidence like himself, he had already discovered that it was Dior's hands and feet.

However, since he had the above doubts, every time the medicine was delivered to Yu Gongcui, he would switch a copy and watch Sir Joestar take it.The symptoms have been alleviated in the past few days, and as long as the toxin is not taken in the future, he should be able to recover quickly.

If only Yu Gongcui and Dio know the truth, then he can calm down quietly and use some means in private to teach the rampant second young master a suitable lesson, forcing him to admit his mistakes and swear a poisonous oath, and then And don't do this kind of vicious and undisciplined behavior——

But now, the insider has an extra JOJO, and the situation suddenly becomes complicated.

How far the third person has grasped the truth of the matter, and what is the purpose of this trip to London, the situation is still vague and difficult to grasp.

Yu Gongcui temporarily put the red dress brought back from London in the house, and planned to hand it over to Dior after the matter came to an end.

Sending this gift now seems to imply "I have been to the slums, I have figured out your old background", after being misunderstood as a provocation, it may have the opposite effect.

He found Dior sitting at the desk in a daze in the study.The handsome young man with blond hair was wearing a gorgeous dress with feathers on his shoulders. He was clearly in line with the aesthetics of aristocrats, but he smelled like a drunk on the street all over his body.Yu Gongcui couldn't help but think of the crazy drunk in the tavern before, her face suddenly sank.

"It's very disrespectful to use alcohol to drown your sorrows, Second Young Master."

Dio sneered, because there was no one else, he did not hide his true nature at all, his bloodshot eyes squinted violently at Amamiya Cui who was approaching, showing his impatience.

"What do you know - leave Bendio alone!!"

Hearing a soft "Oh?", not only did he not flinch, but he got closer to Dio, who was still disturbed by drunkenness, and leaned down, whispering meaningfully in his ear.

"'What do I know'? Are you referring to the fact that you secretly poisoned Sir Joestar and wanted to usurp the family property, or the fact that your crime was unfortunately exposed and was discovered by the young master?"

Dio was shaken all over, and the slight drunkenness that was still lingering seemed to be instantly dispelled by the retrograde coolness of the spine. The hands on the table could not help clenching into fists. After a moment of suffocation, he gritted his teeth and asked .

"……what you up to?!"

That aggrieved and resentful attitude.

Obviously, except for you, everyone is a victim.

Too lazy to discuss the three views of human beings, Yu Gongcui put out the terms of the transaction bluntly.

"Even if this matter can be easily uncovered, I will not allow you to live under the same roof as Sir. Now that you are an adult, it is understandable to set up a separate family. I have already taken a fancy to several properties in London. You can Choose the right one, and a life unfettered must be wonderful."

He thought that this was considered a very favorable condition, but unexpectedly, the young man's voice of doubt immediately sounded unbelievable, with the hoarseness of a raised silk.

"You want to drive Bendio away? How dare you - who gave you the qualification?!"

"Of course it's you, Second Young Master." Yu Gongcui tilted her head strangely, and reminded kindly by the way, "Although you unilaterally broke our agreement to be a good boy, I continue to make deals with you regardless of the past. Shouldn't you say thank you with a grateful heart?"

Although he was choked up for a moment, Dio's blood-red eyes were fixed on him, and the malice in it was so obvious that it was almost materialized.Yu Gongcui frowned slightly in discomfort, sighed silently, and before leaving, she still gave advice based on the love she had been with for several years.

"You have to pay the price for what you do, and you should have that awareness."

"Although I really want to suggest that you take the initiative to admit your mistakes to Sir Joestar, if you do that, you won't be Dio Brando."

"I still want your soul, so after the turmoil subsides, learn from the lesson and be a good boy - knowing that I can easily give you the life of your dreams, why make mistakes again and again?"

……why?

Of course, it was because he was not only attached to "property", but to the entire Joestar family.

Because the more a certain devil thinks he can control him, the more he wants to break the illusion of calm, and happily imagines that face that is always calm and terrified——

Even in the name of trading, he, Dior, can never be controlled by others, never! !

Finally made up his mind, his blood eyes stared at the back of the deacon who was gradually leaving, and the young man showed a distorted and happy smile.

"Indeed...the power of human beings has a limit."

"So don't worry about handing over your soul to the devil." The other party's answering voice came from a distance, as reliable as ever, "Master Jonathan will be back in the afternoon at the latest, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Of course."

The smile on Dio's face gradually widened, completely swallowed by disturbing elements.He listened to the process of footsteps disappearing on the spiral staircase, and repeated it with a grin.

"--Of course."
