Chapter 441: Clues to the Direction of Money
"Xia Lan, is this our new home?"
Before nightfall, Xia Lan and Adelina and their party moved into the manor villa near the sea, and completed the odd things such as food, lodging, bathing and other things under the proper arrangement of the housekeeper Bernie.
It was the first time for Adlena, who was born in poverty, to face such luxurious enjoyment, a quiet and elegant environment, a palatial residence, and servants waiting to serve her at any time, just like the so-called aristocratic life imagined in her mind.
Sitting on the sofa wrapped in a soft and comfortable bathrobe, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the living room exudes a charming and comfortable warm color, holding the hot tea carefully prepared by the servants, smelling the faint incense in the air, the whole person can't help but lazily indulge in it.
Xia Lan scolded the servants waiting not far away in the living room, and said to Adrina with a smile, "Do you like this life? ”
"Hmm!" Adelina leaned her little head on his shoulder and whispered, "It's just that it's a little dreamy and unreal." ”
"You'll get used to it later." Xia Lan stretched out her hand and grabbed her shoulder and said. "It's a pity that we won't be able to live here for long."
Adelina knew the meaning of Xia Lan's words, she had already seen the wanted text posted in Monteres, and now she was like a public enemy of the entire Eldran continent, it seemed that everyone was eager to catch her to receive that rich reward, if she stayed in one place for a long time, it would be easy to expose her whereabouts, sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, is it because she has involved Xia Lan, without her savings, will he be happier and freer? However, these words were always buried in her heart and not confided.
"How long are we going to stay in Montrex?" Adrina's mood was a little low.
"The scheduled plan is three months, but it needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis." Xia Lan patted her head and soothed, "If something unexpected happens, we must leave." ”
"Xialan, it's all my fault......" Adrina couldn't help but say with a sour nose.
"Don't get too cranky, everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes the real fault isn't you." Xia Lan said softly. "Be obedient. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine. ”
"Hmm." Adelina snuggled up to Charan and muttered.
"I'm probably going to be a little bit busy during this time, and you're here to keep an eye on Winnie and Magnison. Once you find out that they are moving, you must not be soft. Xia Lan slowly stepped into the topic and said, "Also, remember to keep your distance from the servant butler of this villa. Don't let them have deep access to Winnie and Magnison, lest they reveal our secrets, I've already told the butler, but I still need you to oversee them in the shadows. ”
"Okay, I'll do what you asked." Winnie said seriously.
"I'm going to see Winnie and Magnison in the underground warehouse, you go back to your room and wait for me to come back."
After parting with Adelina in the living room, Charan walked alone in the direction of the underground warehouse, where he had strictly ordered Bernie, the butler. No one was allowed to approach the underground warehouse without permission, and Bernie, the butler, did so without even questioning, just as DeWitt had said, and Bernie the butler was more afraid of trouble than he was.
Before moving into the villa, Charan had instructed the servants to clean up the underground warehouse, and when Winnie and Magnison had finished their dinner and shower while he and Adlina were watching, they entered the house and began to sort out the utensils and materials provided by Charrain.
When he entered the underground warehouse, it had been converted into a rudimentary real room for two people.
"From today onwards, your food and lodging will be settled here, in the event that I have not completed what I need. You can't leave here even half a step, and I'll rearrange the equipment and materials. ”
After seeing Winnie and Magnison in the underground warehouse, Charan announced unceremoniously.
"You are more 'merciful' than a slave owner!" on this. Winnie looks indifferent on the surface, but there is a strong irony in her words. "What if I need to fix my excretion? Don't forget that I'm a woman, and I don't want to shamelessly expose myself in front of an old man. ”
"You can discuss these bits and pieces with Adelinea." Xia Lan glanced at her and said. "But don't wait for the opportunity to act ill, if Adrina accidentally kills you, it will only be at your own fault."
"Tut, you've really raised a good obedient." Winnie sneered.
"And yet you don't even qualify to be a bitche." Xia Lan smiled.
"No, it's just an excuse you don't dare to ask for." Winnie straightened her small chest and fearlessly confronted Xia Lan.
Xia Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that I need to get to know you again." ”
"If nothing else, please leave, and don't delay the work of our 'slaves'." Winnie turned her face and snorted coldly.
"I wonder if you have come up with a solution to Adelinea's relics now?" Xia Lan said lightly.
"Huh. We haven't even studied the hair and blood of her body, what solution do you want us to take? Winnie scoffed.
"Hmm. This was my mistake. Xia Lan thought for a moment and nodded and admitted her mistake. Tomorrow you will see samples of these things. ”
"Actually, the best way is for you to have Adelina go directly to our full range of examinations, and we guarantee that we can give you the results you want within a month." Winnie suddenly laughed wickedly.
"This building is too stupid. It's too low-level, and maybe I'll have to re-examine your IQ. Xia Lan shook her head.
"I didn't expect a guy with a violent brain to start talking about IQ, it's unbelievable." Winnie said.
Xia Lan didn't want to continue to entangle Winnie about such a boring matter, but chose to turn away.
When he disappeared into the underground warehouse, Magnison, who had been silent in the corner, stared at Winnie, the corners of his mouth curling imperceptibly.
"Old fellow, what are you looking at?!"
Noticing the gaze behind her, Winnie instantly turned her head and glared at Magnison.
"Young people nowadays are really becoming more and more disrespectful." Magnitson shook his head and sighed.
"I admire your learning, but I don't mean I will admire your people." Winnie said dismissively.
"I just think I found something interesting." Magnison Road.
"What's the matter?" Winnie asked.
"I've been curious about your relationship with that Lord Xia Lan before, and on the surface you hate him to the core, but in fact it doesn't seem to be the case." Magnison said calmly.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Winnie said with a frosty face.
"It's nothing, you should know this answer better than I do." Magnison smiled.

Montrés Sheriff's Office.
Ansel looked solemnly at the information about Brentin in his hand. The autopsy report of Gotch and his group, his deep blue eyes like a tant, after reading the last coroner's statement of the poison, he took a deep breath, reached out and pressed it on the bridge of his nose and rubbed it gently.
According to the coroner's test of the poison that killed Gotch and his party, this poison is a fairly rare nerve poison, and the poisoned person will show nerve paralysis and kidney failure after poisoning, and eventually cause the heart to beat and breathe to stop, and the toxicity is so strong that even the toxin left in the blood in the corpse can still poison a person, and the most terrible thing is that the person who developed this poison can actually control the time of the poison, so he led Brundin. Gotch and his party died suddenly and collectively in the middle of the night.
Although this poisoning incident looks like pirate infighting, Anse El does not believe that the rebellious pirates who "murdered" Gotch and others can get their hands on this poison, and the coroner has made it clear that the pharmacist who can make this poison can only develop it with the ability of a high-level pharmacist, and a pirate with a humble status has something to do with the noble high-ranking pharmacist.
The Black Wolf, which had left the harbor in the middle of the night, had no clues, but Anse Air had scattered clues from other sources to investigate.
In assisting in the investigation, Obara once said from Gotch that the group on board their ship did not have the same accent as the people from the West Coast Continent, and according to their body size, they were two men and two women like the wanted text, and the scope of the investigation could be narrowed down at once.
He had already asked his subordinate security officers to start asking around Montrés about these clues, but recently there were too many outsiders in Montrés, and the investigation had encountered great difficulties and obstacles, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, and now he was most worried that these four people had left Montrés, but he would not give up the investigation lightly until it was really confirmed.
Organize the complicated thoughts in your mind and connect them with a little clue.
Out-of-town, two men and two women, accents, rare poison...... That's right!
Ansel's eyes lit up, and a crucial question suddenly came to mind.
Currency!
When a person comes to an unfamiliar place, they spend money, and the currency they carry with them can basically tell where they are coming from.
First of all, the currency of the West Coast continent is excluded, as long as you narrow down the scope of investigation to the currency exchange huàn merchants and shops, hotels and taverns, you will definitely be able to find out the clues of the four people who disappeared!
"Maiden!"
At this time, Ansel shouted to his deputy at the desk not far away.
"Inspector, what are your orders?" Maiden stood up from his office chair and hurriedly walked over to his desk and asked.
"Inform the people below that the direction of investigation has shifted to the currency circulating in the Monteres market, as long as the currency does not belong to the West Coast country, all the currency will be traced to the source of the currency, pay attention to the secretive action, so as not to startle the snake!" Anse Air said sternly.
"Yes! Do you have any other instructions? Maiden asked.
"Spying on Claydo. Oak's personnel continue to be vigilant and must report any strange findings. ”
With that, Anse El got up from his chair, straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going to report to the director about the progress of this case, and the matter here is left to you for the time being." (To be continued)
