There was once a hilarious incident where a wealthy man hired a senior lawyer from Golden Tulip to launder money, only to be arrested by the local police shortly after.

Wardhouse sat in the hall for a while, and then waited for the target, a middle-aged man in his thirties with an ordinary appearance, wearing an ordinary shirt and jacket, who was none other than one of the secret guards of the previous Wellington City Lord, Zack.

Zach walked up to Wardhouse, sat down beside him, and said in a muffled voice:

"What's the matter with calling me so early? and can you replace your cheesy messenger? ”

Wardhouse naturally put his slender right leg on his left leg, and the brown stubble above and below his thin lips reflected the deep contour of his face, which was more mature and handsome, ignoring the burial of his friends for many years:

"Naturally, it's for the murderer who killed the members of my team, do you have any clues about this from the Constant Light Burning Sun Church?"

In the small city of Federenburg, there are four districts in the center of the city, in the south, east and west, while on the outskirts are the cultivated land of the peasants and the estates of the nobility, lakes and hunting grounds.

The western and southern districts are under the jurisdiction of the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom, while the remaining northern, eastern, and suburban districts are under the jurisdiction of the Constant Light Burning Sun Church.

And this "Flame Walker" named Zack is ostensibly a member of the City Lord's secret guard, but in fact he is the eyeliner placed by the Constant Light Sun Church around the City Lord, and there is a role in protection and supervision. After all, the behavior and safety of the lord of a city are very important.

As the squadron leader of the "Punisher", he naturally knows his identity, and the two have been friends for more than ten years.

Zach didn't squint, and replied sullenly:

"There are no clues in Hengguang Blazing Sun, but I found a little bit in the city lord a few days ago, can you hear?"

"Earl Wellington, what does he have to do with this?"

"He's naturally not related to it, but one of the people next to him seems to have something to do with it. ”

"Who?"

"His wife, your former good sister, Lady Sally. ”

Hearing the answer, Wardhouse fell silent, remembering the blonde woman with whom he had already broken ...... Although they once fell in love with each other, the ending of the two of them was actually determined by fate as soon as they stepped into this extraordinary road.

After a few seconds of silence, Wardhouse's voice was a little hoarse:

"Whoever it is, this matter has to be investigated...... What does Sally have to do with this?"

"The city lord has actually been secretly investigating the incident eleven years ago, until he found out that the lady did something thirteen years ago, and there seems to be their shadow behind it. ”

Wardhouse was slightly startled, and his dark blue eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally knew what Zach was talking about eleven years ago.

That year, Wellington's first wife, Lady Sophia, and his newborn second son, died mysteriously in the house, and it happened that he went to Atlantis, the capital of Ireland, to inherit his father's title and the title of lord of the city.

When he returned, he found that his wife and newborn child had died, and the death was extremely horrific. Because he went to Atlant with his eldest son, Rowan, who was only 5 years old, survived.

At that time, Wardhouse was not yet the captain, but he heard from his own captain at the time that the corpses of the countess had become bloodless corpses, and the newborn son was brutally mutilated.

None of the servants or guards noticed it, and it was not until the next day that the maid went to serve the lady to freshen up, and found the blood stains all over the house, and ran out screaming in fright.

Only then did the guards in the courtyard hurry into the house, only to find this scene, and even the guards at that time vomited.

The captain of the guard at that time immediately took a few people without eating or drinking, rode to Atlante overnight, and took Wellington, who had just finished the succession ceremony, and hurried back to Federenburg.

Because the steam train was under construction at that time, it was not in operation.

After returning, the enraged Earl of Wellington immediately blocked the relevant news and searched for the murderer throughout the city.

Wellington not only sent all the bright guards and secret guards, but also asked the extraordinary organizations of the two cathedrals to investigate for a long time, but there were no major clues, and in the end it was gone.

The murderer behind it is definitely not a simple person, and it must involve an extraordinary person in the middle and high sequences.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to conceal the investigation of the extraordinary organizations of the two churches, the "Punishers" and the "Constant Lighters".

It wasn't until two years later that Sally, the mistress who accompanied the Earl of Wellington through that dark life, married into the City Lord's Mansion.

As early as Wellington was just coming of age, he met and became his mistress, and because of his ordinary status, he was not recognized by the old earl, who was still alive at the time. can only silently watch his beloved lover marry a wife and have children.

However, Sally did not cut ties with Wellington and went underground.

After four years of marriage in Wellington and when the eldest son Rowan was two years old, Sally became pregnant, the second son of the current Earl of Wellington, Led.

Therefore, when Sally marries into the city lord's mansion, she enters the door with the son of the city lord.

This incident also spread in Federenburg at that time, not only became the after-dinner conversation of the people, but Sally was ridiculed by the noblewomen's circle at that time for a long time.

Wardhouse pondered about Wellington and Sally, still a little confused about what it had to do with the murderer, and then asked:

"The murderer this time is a 'fireman' named Pol, who was only a few years old more than ten years ago, how could he have anything to do with that tragedy?"

Judging from the image you sent me some time ago, it is the same weapon that the murderer used to kill the city lord's wife eleven years ago: the 'Bloodthirsty Blade'.

"It has the ability to feed on human blood, making it impossible to heal wounds. The side effect is that you have to suck a person's whole body blood every two days, otherwise it will backfire on the owner. It has the property of being alive and is a second-level seal. More than a decade ago, a member of the 'Constant Light' disappeared along with others in the line of duty. ”

Wardhouse rubbed his brown stubble and continued:

"Even if the murderer this time is related to the tragedy eleven years ago, what does it have to do with Lady Sally?"

"This has something to do with what the city lord told me to investigate. ”

"What's the matter?"

Zack's expression immediately became strange, "The city lord found out that Lady Sally seems to have had several dealings with a young man when she was not a countess, or when she was a mistress of Wellington...... The perverse kind. ”

"Uh......" Rao is the squadron leader who has experienced strong winds and waves, and his expression at this time is also a little subtle, this feeling Wellington is to check whether he has been ......

"What's that young man's name?" added with a strange expression, "still alive?"

"His name is Ryan, and he was a member of the City Lord's Guard, Mingwei, but he died thirteen years ago after being shot dead in a battle with bandits. ”

"And what does this matter have to do with the murderers of these two times?"

"Soon after, the 'Constant Light' found out that judging from the death of the group of bandits, it was the same as the death of the first wife of the city lord, and they all died from the seal called 'Bloodthirsty Blade'. ”

"Does that Ryan have any other family?"

No, but his father once had an adopted son named Chris, who was 11 years old and studying at the University of Federenburg. ”

Waldhouse thought to himself: Eleven-year-old adopted son? That must have nothing to do with Ryan.

"You think...... That group of bandits has something to do with Sally?" Wardhouse touched his chin with a little scum, is this a murderous aftermath of murder?

"Yes. ”

"Is there any evidence?"

"Not yet, I'm investigating, only a little clue. ”

"Does Wellington know about this?

"The city lord asked me to check what happened eleven years ago, and I found out the death of a group of bandits thirteen years ago in the file of the Hengguang Burning Sun Church, which is strikingly consistent with the death of the city lord's wife eleven years ago.

"Through the bandits, I found out that Ryan was killed by the bandits, but I didn't know what role Ryan played in this at the time, so I didn't pay attention to him.

"I told the city lord this clue about the bandits, but I didn't expect the city lord to ask me to find out if Lady Sally had an affair with a young man thirteen years ago.
