Chapter 324: Big Trouble
Almost as soon as the carriage appeared, the profession of coachman also appeared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a rule, there are as many coachmen as there are carriages. Judging from the fact that almost every noble family on the mainland is equipped with at least one carriage, it is clear that the number of coachmen is quite large.
Not to mention anything else, there are definitely quite a few coachmen who accompany the carriage outside the walls of the Red Fort Palace at this moment, waiting for their master to leave the banquet of the King's Palace.
Duke Li'an said: "After discovering this matter, we immediately sent people to gather all the carriages and coachmen who were staying on the palace wall to check them, and then found that there was indeed a coachman who had disappeared. ”
Speaking of this, Duke Leo's eyes suddenly shot a gleam, and the momentum of the whole person instantly increased, staring at Leo like a lion king sweeping through the eight wildernesses: "And the carriage driven by the vanished coachman is exactly the one that your Lord Leo is riding in!" ”
Although he was already mentally prepared, when Duke Leo really said it, the expression on Leo's face still changed involuntarily.
Sure enough, it was him.
No wonder the Marquis of Habs has been looking at himself before, no wonder Duke Lean will ask himself again and again, it turns out that the killer who killed Edgar turned out to be the coachman who replaced Morata for Leo today - the strong man of the Sanctuary Lei Feng.
Leo exhaled softly, and the doubts in his heart increased rather than decreased. Why did Lei Feng kill Edgar? And it was on such an occasion as easy to spot today.
Leo subconsciously glanced at the Marquis of Habs, wanting to get some hints from the Minister of Justice who seemed to have some kind of alliance with Lord Leifeng, but at this moment, the Marquis of Habs was also puzzled, and seemed to know nothing about it.
In fact, this is not surprising, you must know that a guy who hides his face and keeps it secret, how can he easily confide his true thoughts to others?
"Well," Leo laughed dryly, and said, "Actually, this coachman is also a new recruit recently, and I personally also—"
Leo was interrupted by Duke Leo before he could finish his words: "As far as I know, since Lord Leo came to Ridema City, there has always been only one subordinate and coachman named Morata, and this Morata has been with Lord Leo for several months. ”
That's the trouble with lying, because you have to cover up another lie with one lie, and if any one of them fails, all the lies will collapse like dominoes connected together.
It is precisely because of this that in front of Duke Lean, who had been prepared for a long time, these excuses made up by Leo were completely vulnerable, and suddenly made Leo very passive.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, Leo not only has nothing to do with the murder of Edgar as he thinks, but is forced to get into such a big trouble because the murderer is his own driver.
For now, I'm afraid the only thing that makes Leo feel some comfort is that the Duke of Leanne has not yet discovered that the "Morata" who drove the car for him is actually someone else's pretend.
After thinking about it, Leo, who really had no excuse to prevaricate, simply came to deny it completely: "In short, this matter has nothing to do with me, and it is useless for you to ask me." ”
Leo was telling the truth, but at this moment, after proving that the killer was Leo's coachman, these truths were no longer enough for Leo to prove his innocence.
You must know that there are countless people who can prove that the last thing Edgar did before he died was the conflict with Leo on the third floor of the King's Palace.
If there is a conflict, there is a motive to kill, and after having a motive to kill, you can order your own driver to quietly kill someone. From a logical point of view, such an inference is clearly defensible.
So whether Leo admits it or not, he has become a major suspect at this moment, that is, the person behind the murder of Edgar by instructing his coachman.
After some interrogation, Duke Lean, who still hadn't received any information from Leo, finally looked a little impatient, and the words in his mouth gradually became stern: "Lord Leo, I think you should know very well that if the Edgar is really killed by your subordinates, even with the artifact in your hand and the identity of the god, it will not be enough to save your life. ”
Leo let out a long sigh and said to Duke Lean in front of him with a sincere expression and tone, "I really don't know anything. ”
It must be said that the feeling of being wronged is simply rotten.
"Okay." Duke Lian nodded, and suddenly stood up from the sofa: "Someone! ”
Six Blood Shadow Guards appeared in the room.
Duke Leo glanced at Leo and gave an order to the six Blood Shadow Guards: "You are here to 'protect' Lord Leo, no one can enter or leave this room without my or His Majesty's orders, understand?" ”
Leo didn't have the slightest expression on his face when he heard this, he just shrugged his shoulders helplessly, of course he wouldn't be naïve enough to think that these Blood Shadow Guards were really here to protect him, in fact, of course, these guys were just watching him so that he wouldn't have a chance to escape.
In other words, Leo is now under house arrest.
"If Lord Leo suddenly remembers something, please tell these Blood Shadow Guards." After dropping this sentence, Duke Lean left the room with the Marquis of Habs.
"At least I didn't get put in a black cell, which is a bit of a blessing in misfortune." Leo comforted himself a little self-deceptively, and couldn't help but feel a little slanderous about the mysterious Lord Lei Feng in his heart.
"You said that this person is true, when to kill Edgar, it is not good, but at this time. Well, now that the Children of Darkness haven't been found, I've been locked up here. Maybe before the plot of the Children of Darkness is revealed, His Majesty the Emperor will send someone to cut off my head. ”
The more Leo thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he was a little dazed for a while.
While Leo was at a loss in the room, two guests dressed as figures were whispering in a corner of the second floor of the King's Palace.
"Lord Darkchild, the guards here seem to be tighter than we thought, what should we do now?" Dressed as a middle-aged nobleman, the vampire demon king Ragud was obviously in a hurry.
With his powerful induction power, Ragaid knew very clearly that there were a total of twelve Sacred Domain powerhouses in the King's Hall at this moment, and so many Sacred Domain powerhouses were not something that Ragaid could deal with today. If discovered, Ragand even doubted that he would be able to escape the palace alive.
"Don't mess around, Raghoud." The Dark Child's calm voice rang out, "Don't you notice that since twenty minutes ago, the movements of these guards have been a little excessive? Something unknowable must have happened up there, and perhaps you should grab a lone guard and interrogate it. Also, find a way to contact our internal response. ”
"Yes, my lord."
