Chapter 392: Facts
Xia Lan looked at Trevor with a blank face and staring at Trevor with his eyes staring at the spear nailed to the wall, the stinging red blood slowly dripped from his heart to the ground, looking around, it was a mess, a naked corpse lay on the crooked sofa, the healthy wheat skin was covered with purple and blue scars, on that familiar face, there were clear tears left in the rolled eyes, and the white viscous liquid was faintly visible in the black denseness.
If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.
I didn't expect them to do this!
After placing Adelina in place, Xia Lan immediately rushed to the station of the Lin Ying Mercenary Group, since the "Subversive Fang" openly launched an operation against him, presumably the people of the Lin Ying Mercenary Group will definitely find some abnormalities in the process of surveillance, but for some reason, he always has an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the scene in front of him was enough to prove the conjecture in his heart.
Although he only found two corpses in the station, he knew that all the members of the Lin Ying Mercenary Group might not escape the poisonous hands of the "Subversive Fang".
Are they really ready to wipe out everyone around them?
Nothing worse now is the disappearance of Hermia's mother and daughter, and if the "Subversive Fangs" learn of their relationship with Ser Hollebas, the situation will be completely unfavorable for him.
Xia Lan closed his eyes and pondered, did he really want to expose his last hole card?
However, this hole card is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, and it should never be used until the last minute.
After secretly deciding to settle down, Xia Lan fell into a situation where she had nowhere to go for a while.
The Gold Coast Hotel was destroyed in a fire, and the Governor's Mansion was temporarily unable to go, and even had to hide the disappearance of Hermia's mother and daughter in front of Sir Hollebas. The Lin Ying mercenary regiment was slaughtered. There is no point in staying any longer......
Maybe. He still has a place to go.
Looks like a little bit of risk is needed.
Thinking of this, Xia Lan quickly left the station of the Lin Ying Mercenary Group, and did not forget to set a fire to this place when leaving.
……
Sir Hollebus quietly left the noisy council hall, and with some distraught, he came to the quiet garden full of greenery, and walked along the stone road in the cool breeze, and it was a long time before his heart gradually calmed down.
"Lord Sir, so you're here."
Ear. A calm and hoarse voice sounded, and Sir Holebas looked at the distant scenery without looking back and said, "Marenko, the result of the matter responsible for your inquiry has come out?" ”
Since Necid was seriously injured and Pilar left for Brandel, Manko has become the only high-ranking powerhouse by his side to protect him.
"Yes, according to your orders, the subordinates have already finished investigating, I wonder which one you listen to first, my lord?" Manko stood behind Holebas and bowed his head respectfully.
"Let's talk about Sir Laulandus first, and the noble members of the council have been noisy early in the morning, and the whole person is not at peace. I want to know what's going on here, and listen to that old fellow Matthewt's report. Is it simply when we are stupid? Sir Hollebas said with a calm face.
"Sir Sir, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the guards in charge of patrolling the area of Lilac Avenue in Wisteria District in the middle of the morning suddenly heard the movement in Sir Lawlandes' mansion, and when they arrived at the scene, they saw the scene of corpses all over the mansion, and the identity of the deceased was all palace guards, and when they entered the hall, they saw Sir Lawlandes' fiancée holding Sir Lawlanders, who was covered in blood, and wept bitterly......" Mancoe described seriously: " As for the robbers, it was Sir Laulanders' fiancée. ”
"Did this guy live to be a dog all his age? Will he believe such a clumsy lie? Holebas said angrily.
"According to other guards present, Master Matthew ordered the evacuation of most of the remaining personnel after investigating the scene." Ma Enke's face condensed slightly: "Although I haven't investigated the situation at the scene specifically, I guess Master Matthew must have discovered some special situation at that time to make this decision. ”
"Special circumstances? Looks like I'm going to need to ask Matthewt for myself what's going on with that old fellow! Sir Hollebas nodded thoughtfully, and said, "What about the other thing you were told to inquire about?" ”
"This ...... Sir Sir, there was a sudden fire at the Gold Coast Hotel just before dawn......" Mancoe said with some slurification.
"Fire?" Sir Holebas's face changed, and he quickly turned his head to look at Maenko behind him.
"Yes, the cause of the fire is unknown, but now the fire has been extinguished, and according to the sheriff's survey, more than 20 passengers have been killed in the fire, and countless more have been injured...... "Matthewn whispered.
"What about them?" Sir Holebas said with a gloomy face.
"Although there were many women among the dead, according to the mouths of his subordinates for the rescued passengers, they did not see the person you said at that time, and perhaps they had been rescued by His Excellency Xia Lan before the fire...... "Matthew said.
Holebas breathed a sigh of relief, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart, he turned his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "I know, you go down, if you see Matthewt, please let him come to me personally." ”
"Do as you command."
The words fell, and Matthew left quickly.
Sir Holaibas stood motionless, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but the slightly rapid breathing betrayed his state of mind at this time, the Sir Lawlanders case, the hotel fire, and the sudden arrival of Charland earlier, is there a connection between a qiē and a qiē? He didn't know, he just guessed.
"Sir, you called me?"
In the distance, Matthewt's loud voice suddenly spread throughout the garden, and Hollebas frowned slightly, turned to look at the middle-aged but still energetic guy, and snorted softly through his nose, as if he didn't want to see each other.
Although he and Matthew belong to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but the superficial status does not represent a qiē, if it weren't for Matthewt's reliance on his father-in-law who was the former president of the council, Sir Hollebas would have belittled this shrewd and cunning guy a long time ago, in fact, in the final analysis, he and Matthew have the same thing in common, because they both relied on his wife's family to get to this point, but for some reason, he always looked at each other unpleasantly, and always felt that this guy would always shirk perfunctory and evade responsibility when he encountered things, But it is undeniable that this guy still has some ability, otherwise he would not have been favored by the old speaker.
"Matthewt, I need to ask you something, and you must tell me honestly." When the other party came closer, Holebas said unceremoniously.
"What deserves your attention, Sir?!" Matthew snorted.
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you, what the hell is going on with Sir Laulands?!" Sir Holebas said with a cold face.
"You really want to know?" Matthewt raised an eyebrow.
"Is there any reason you can't say?" Holebas asked rhetorically.
"No, I know there will be many people who doubt the truth of the case, but I didn't expect that the first person to ask me was you." Matthew retracted the frivolity on his face. "I'll be gagged if anyone else asks me, but you might be qualified to know the truth."
"It seems that this case is indeed not as simple as it seems." When Holebas heard this, he immediately said with a solemn expression.
"Of course." Mattheut said in a deep voice: "This case is not something we can meddle in at all, because, I found several remnants of terrifying battle aura at the scene of the incident, and there were even faint magic fluctuations in it. ”
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your investigation?" Holebas's eyelids jumped.
"Everybody has their own secrets, so there's no doubt about it." Matthew said. "What do you think would happen if the nobles knew the truth about this?"
"I understand your concerns." Sir Holebas nodded expressionlessly.
"By the way, I'll give you a piece of information, Sir Lawlanders is not an easy fellow! I suspect that this case was specifically directed against him and would not affect the other nobles. Matthew said with half-squinted eyes.
"I see, aren't you going to investigate Sir Lawlanders in depth?" Holebas nodded.
"Investigation? Sir, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to rush me to die, do you?! "Matthew doesn't have a good airway." I don't want to get involved in the game of those terrifying guys, anyway, the information is given to you, and it's your business to investigate or not, so I will never accompany you. ”
With that, Matthew turned and walked away.
Looking at the other party's distant back, Holebas's mind was still immersed in the truth brought by Matthewt.
Strength horror guys? Who else is there but them in Port Louis today?
For the first time, Holebas thought of the people that Charlan was talking about, but why did they target Sir Lawlanders? Or rather...... Xia Lan was also present at the time?!
"Lord Sir, it's time to go back to the council hall."
At this time, Ma Enke quietly came to his side.
"Those councillors are finally willing to be quiet?!" Holebas Road.
"Yes, even many councillors have already found out that you are not in the synagogue, and if you return any longer, I am afraid it will not be good." Mancoe Road.
"I see, it seems that their discussions have reached a conclusion, and they are waiting for me to go back and preside over the announcement of the new decree...... Hmph, now I know why that old guy likes to play in the synagogue and disappears! Holebas said as he walked in the direction of the council hall, "I don't know how much it takes to deal with them, but it's a pity...... I'm used to it. (To be continued......)
