"Since it is a dark history with fatal blows, they will definitely be well hidden, it is not easy to find, and our strength is simply an egg hitting a stone compared to them." Su Yunuan's worries are not unreasonable.

Xu Jingning is also worried about this, her father has not left her many contacts at her disposal, and it is already very difficult to resist Moss's attack, and if she has to take the initiative to find evidence of their crimes, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Ou Yan didn't care, in his eyes, there was nothing that couldn't be solved, but he hadn't found a way yet. "So you didn't think of the idea of killing people with a knife? You know, where there is competition, there will be opponents, and we are not the only ones who want them to fall. ”

That's right! Why didn't she think of it! Xu Ningning's eyes lit up. "It's a no-brainer to know."

Xu Jingning walked to the bookshelf and took down an old-looking notebook from the top shelf.

"This is my father's notepad, which I haven't looked through, and I think I'll find a clue in it."

She kept this notebook very well, but before that, she had not opened it once, for fear of touching the memories that she least wanted to remember.

Ou Yan and Su Yunuan were a little hesitant and didn't step forward, after all, it belonged to someone else's **, and the two of them were outsiders, so it was too rude to flip through it like this.

Xu Ningning glanced at the two of them, "Come here, it's okay, you are here to help me, my father won't mind." ”

The brother and sister walked over.

This notebook records some daily trivial matters, but my father confessed before his death, and it must not be lost, so Xu Ningning will keep it properly to this day.

The thick notebook recorded some of the things that her father had started since he was fifteen years old, and he recorded them in great detail, no matter how big or small, and you can imagine how strict her father was a thoughtful person.

"This notebook is very secretive, and now no one knows about its storage except the three of us."

Born into such a large and prominent family, everything needs to be kept an eye on everything, so her father will secretly record these things.

Throughout the English, some of which are local slang, Su Yunuan struggled to see it, she rubbed her eyes, but gave up. "Look, I don't understand."

Not only Su Yunuan, but Ou Yan also looked a little tired, although he spent a lot of time in the UK, but compared with a person who has lived here all his life, he is definitely not comparable.

Xu Jingning closed the notebook and had no choice but to say, "In this way, let me filter out the useful information first, and then we will discuss it together." ”

"That's all well and good, but it's also a way to miss out on some of the most inconspicuous but critical pieces of information. It's okay, let's look at it together, and you can explain what you don't understand. Ou Yan rubbed his temples and said softly.

"It's fine. Xiao Nuan, if you are tired, you can take a rest first. Xu Ningning found that Su Yunuan had always looked lazy recently, as if she didn't have enough time to rest.

Su Yunuan yawned and smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'll go take a rest first, something calls me." ”

After speaking, he exited the study, leaving only Ou Yan and Xu Ningning, patiently studying the notebook left by his father.

Count Omdo, that is, Xu Ningning's father, was awarded the title of viscount by the queen at the age of fifteen, and was the most respected young man in the Gulrant family.

Judging from the notebook, it is at this time that Omdo's relationship with the other two brothers began to change, especially the elder brother Moss, who could not bear to be knighted before his younger brother.

An increase in status means an increase in loneliness, and it is not unreasonable for people to say that the heights are unbearable. Since then, Omdo has been alone, loner, and has become a little withdrawn.

Perhaps this is also one of the Earl's motives for recording daily chores, as a pastime for the long and lonely life.

Xu Jingning obviously didn't expect that such a gentle father would also have such a sad past, and couldn't help but redden.

"Now that you've decided to look through the past, be strong." Ou Yan didn't look up, and said while looking at the contents of the notepad.

"Hmm." Xu Jingjing took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, calmed down his mood, and continued to look down.

Count Omdor was a genius in architecture, and the Rose Castle was designed by himself. At the time, the Queen entrusted him with the task of establishing a world-class landmark in London.

Before the construction of the building could be completed, the queen revoked the plan, and Omdo, who was in charge of the matter, was imprisoned, stripped of his knighthood, and almost did not save his life.

The reason for the incident is that it is suspected of embezzling huge sums of money, shoddy engineering materials, and cutting corners. In the end, the matter was found out, and it was proved that Omdo was innocent, and his life was saved.

This incident devastated Omdo, and it took him a long time to get back on his feet. The notebook did not record what was going on, and it was only a passing mention of the result, perhaps because he did not want to record this gloomy past.

However, Ou Yan felt that there was something else hidden, although he had not come into contact with Count Omdo himself, but through the notepad of Guò, Ou Yan could probably guess who the Count was.

He is definitely a fair and honest person, and he will never bury this past because of shame, but I'm afraid that even he doesn't know the truth of the matter, right?

At the age of twenty-eight, Omdo was re-knighted, this time even more sensational, and the queen directly conferred on him the title of earl. And Moss, who has been working hard for the title, once again missed the title.

Most of the notebooks are recorded in Omdo's own experience, and the people of Moss only describe the increasingly tense relationship between them, and then nothing else.

Moss was finally knighted as he wished, because at this time, his father, the old earl, was terminally ill and died. The title of Earl was rightfully inherited by Moss.

Count Omdo wrote in his notebook: "The sudden death of my father has left me in shock and grief as well as doubt. But I'd rather believe that my father was destined than to doubt anyone. I am afraid that the truth of my suspicion is beyond anyone's tolerance, and my father must not want to see such an outcome, so it is better to let this quiet go to heaven......"

Seeing this, Xu Ningning couldn't help frowning, "If the old earl's death is really hidden, then Moss must be involved." ”

"Your father didn't say who he doubted, don't be limited in your thinking from the beginning." Ou Yan frowned, the old earl had passed away for too long, and even if something was wrong, there was no way to verify it.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door in the house, "Miss, the mayor of the town has come to visit, saying that he has something to say." Leng An's calm voice sounded outside the door.

Xu Jingjing hurriedly closed the notebook and put it back in its place. "Got it, come right here."

After speaking, he glanced at Ou Yan and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what he is here for." ”

"It's been hours since the accident, and he's going to have to give you an explanation."

As for what the explanation is, it depends on what he wants them to know, Ou Yan took the lead and walked out, "Let's go, see what he says." ”

In the living room, the mayor was a little restless, looking very nervous, and he couldn't even hold a cup of tea.

"Mayor Mare, you're finally here." Xu Jingning hugged Ou Yan and walked in slowly.

The mayor of the town looked out of the door when he heard the sound, and immediately stood up, "Miss Xu, I'm really sorry, I heard that you and Mr. Ou were injured, is there any big problem?" ”

Xu Jingning rolled her eyes and pointed to the eye-catching bandage on Ou Yan's leg, "You can see it, right?" Do you feel hurt badly? ”

"This ...... I'm so sorry! The mayor wiped his cold sweat and sat down cautiously, "This is all my negligence, and the government will bear the losses caused to the two of them." ”

"Of course you'll have to bear it!" Ou Yan sat on the side and didn't speak, so Xu Jingning took over the talking.

The strong low pressure caused the mayor to dare not come out, and this invisible sense of oppression was the source of Ou Yan, who was silent on the side.

It is said that he is a small influential figure in China, and if he has the intention to make a big deal and rise to the level of international friendship, then his career in office will be over.

"Yes, yes, we will definitely bear it, don't worry." The mayor of the town smiled and echoed, suddenly remembering the main purpose of his trip, so he sat up straight and ran to the topic, "Regarding this accident, the preliminary investigation has already yielded results. ”

After speaking, the mayor glanced at the two people opposite, one was closing his eyes and the other was staring at him, urging him to hurry up.

"The shark has been brought back to safety, and as for how it got in, we found that the copper net used to intercept it at the end had broken a big hole, and I think the shark slipped in after it broke through the copper net."

"Isn't the copper mesh regularly reinforced? Why is this happening? Xu Jingning asked rhetorically, wanting to be perfunctory, no way!

The mayor was stunned, "This ...... This ......," he said after a long time, "this is an oversight on the part of an insider, and the person concerned has been detained." ”

"Even if it is in disrepair, the copper net will not be so fragile, Mr. Mayor, how long have these people been lazy to steal, and how much of a loophole have they exploited to cause such a situation?" Ou Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly opened his eyes, and as soon as he spoke, he forced the mayor to be speechless. "Aren't you going to check these safety facilities regularly? Why didn't you find out in time? ”

The mayor was dripping in a cold sweat, sat on the sofa, and was speechless for a long time.

Xu Jingjing sneered and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Mayor also knows that there is such a big loophole under his hands?" ”

"Indeed, I also knew." The mayor frowned, and the expression on his face was very stern, "I also trust these people too much, but I didn't expect them to be in a nest of snakes and rats, and they are complicit." ”
