Sitting on the four chairs were Verrocchio, Anno, Ludovic, and the rescued Manlio.
Manlio did not dare to speak, and the three adults were also silent.
The scene seemed to be frozen.
Anno winked at Verrocchio.
Verrocchio understood immediately. He coughed twice and said with a smile: "I guess the food will be served soon. Let's go to the restaurant first."
Ludovic stood up: "Actually, it's getting late, so I'll go back first, Mr. Verrocchio."
"Well, goodbye, Lucvedo." Verrocchio shook hands with Lucvedo.
"I will inform you as soon as there is any news." Annuo added.
Ludovic nodded: "It's best to hurry up. I should stay here during the day these days. The second trial of Leonardo da Vinci and Suwalt is coming soon. We have to speed up the progress."
"certainly."
Ludovic picked up his coat from the hanger and walked out of the office.
Annuo glanced at Manlio, who had his head lowered, and smiled: "Let's go, Manlio."
Manlio raised his head and glanced at Annuo secretly.
Manlio just looks young. Due to long-term malnutrition and a living environment similar to that of a captive, his height is only about 1.3 meters.
But he is not young anymore, he is already fourteen years old, and he still has certain communication difficulties, so Annuo cannot find a reasonable way to communicate for the time being.
He could only pat Manlio on the shoulder.
Manlio stood up and followed Annuo towards the restaurant.
...
Dinner was spent in difficult exchanges.
In the end, Annuo finally got some information from Manlio.
Suwalt, indeed, suddenly gained a large amount of wealth about a week ago.
Suwalt, who had gained a lot of wealth, did not think about improving his poor quality of life. Instead, he hid part of Flora and bought a lot of good wine for the remaining part and kept it at home.
He doesn't like drinking, he just likes the feeling of numbing his nerves, so getting drunk in a pub is the same as getting drunk at home.
As for the person who gave Suwalt the money, Manlio did not see it, because that person and Sualter were discussing things outside at that time. Manlio only knew that that person was a man.
At this point, things are completely clear.
Someone paid money to hire a male model, Suwalt, to commit suicide and frame Leonardo da Vinci.
And the person who paid the murderer...
Annuo narrowed his eyes.
After dinner, Annuo decided to let Manlio stay at his home first.
The little boy's mood while eating made An Nuo feel a little uncomfortable.
The surprise of seeing normal food for the first time, the hesitation of not knowing whether you should enjoy normal food.
Manlio fell asleep easily.
Annuo told his servant: "Take good care of this little guy." After saying that, he went to sleep.
He has not slept for two days and one night, and he is still holding on.
...
Suwalt returned to his shabby little house.
Seeing the door open, Suwalt ran into the house in horror.
"Manlio, where are you hiding?" he yelled first.
Manrio did not come out.
Suwalt spat angrily: "Damn it!"
He hurriedly ran to a corner behind the bed and turned over a stone as big as a chopping board.
There is a bag under the stone.
Suwalt hurriedly picked up the bag, poured out all the Flora inside, and counted it.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the chain in the corner and pursed his lips.
He thought Manlio had finally been humiliated and ran away.
Forget it, just run away and save yourself the trouble of feeding.
What is hidden under Suwalt's handsome appearance?
