Chapter 262: In-depth investigation

PS: I'm sorry, the last chapter should be two hundred and sixty-one

About ten miles from Bersington Manor, the grove where Hathaway killed Bishop Beyoncé was guarded by the Royal Guard and the Church's Templars from the day of the crime, and no one was allowed to pass through.

At this moment, Marquis Abbe stood beside a clearing with a gloomy face, looking at the clergy of the Natural Church in the clearing. Judging from the outfit, the white-haired man at the head was dressed in a green robe, with a gold trim on the neckline, and a green leaf-shaped pin with a unique shape on his chest, and the clergy who followed behind him were obviously inferior to the archbishop in terms of clothing. Next to him, however, was a middle-aged man dressed as a knight, and the delicate golden unicorn badge on his chest indicated his identity - the Unicorn Knights.

"Lord Stephen, didn't Bishop Beyoncé give him orders when he went out? There's always going to be something wrong, right? The middle-aged knight asked suddenly, his eyes were clear, and his expression was even more magnanimous.

"According to Bishop Beyoncé's subordinates, when Bishop Beyoncé returned that day, he seemed to have something in mind, and he has been alone ever since. It didn't take long for her to leave in a hurry, and it didn't look like she had been prepared in advance, and no one had contacted her before...... To be precise, she hadn't been in contact with anyone before she left. ”

In other words, her departure should have happened suddenly, and when she came back, she seemed to be preoccupied. Is it understandable that this sudden incident is likely to be related to her heart? ”

Middle-aged knight ...... The leader of the Unicorn Knights, Steven. Kennett asked.

"There's a good chance it's related."

The old man with the gold collar on his robes was none other than Archbishop Alain. Stephen is also the most revered person in the Ortigar Empire by the Natural Church. Hear Steven. Kennett's question, he also fell into deep thought.

Steven. Kennett could think of it, he naturally thought of it, but in the early investigation, he didn't find any suspicious people and things, he shook his head with some regret, and said thoughtfully: "This is exactly what is disappointing." Bishop Beyoncé had been to a tavern before she returned, and she had just had a glass of wine and came back. Oh. When he went to drink. It seems like I've talked to two people. ”

"Who?" Steven. Kennett asked casually.

"One is Leonardo, a favored retainer of Emperor Fivinel XVIII. Earl of Beirut; The other was Hathaway, Countess of the Cordillera. Bel. "Alain. Bishop Stephen said, "We have investigated both of them, and their backgrounds are relatively clean, and there is nothing special about them. The Earl of Beirut and Bishop Beyoncé knew each other before. Just said hello in the past. ”

"You're talking about Hathaway. Earl Bell? ”

The moment he heard Hathaway's name. Steven. Kennett's heart moved, and his eyes suddenly became more bright.

"You know?" Alan. Stephen asked, surprised.

"I've seen a very interesting girl in Vermont. I don't know about her...... What to do here? "Steven. Kennett asked.

"I inquired. She came for the sake of refugees in the Kingdom of the Alps. ”

Alan. Stephen was a little puzzled, not understanding why the other party cared about the countess: "The Cordillera is sparsely populated, and I heard that she intends to move a group of refugees over, which is a good idea. Although the Cordillera Plateau is a little farther away, it is a safe place for refugees. ”

Steven. Kennett nodded and asked, "What kind of enemies does Bishop Beyoncé have?" Or is there something coveted about her? ”

Alan. Stephen smiled slightly, "Nature's enemies are our common enemies. As for what's on her...... You know, Bishop Beyoncé is a very special locust, always in good spirits, even in battle. ”

"What is it?" Steven. Kennett's eyes lit up.

"I don't know. Her identity is relatively special, no one knows, if it is really that thing that people covet, then she should know quite well. The two counts would not be suspicious, because they could not have such a deep intersection with Beyoncé. ”

"Where is that Earl Bell now?" Steven. Kennett asked suddenly.

"I heard that I went to Vannar City, do you need to bring her back?" Alan. Stephen looked at the leader of the Unicorn Knights, he knew that the other party could not be untargeted, could there be something suspicious about that countess.

Marquis Abbe, who was standing not far away, heard all these conversations in his ears, and there was a little anger in his heart.

Ridiculous!

Could it be that just because this place is close to the hunting village of the emperor's majesty, the nobles of the empire are also the object of suspicion?

This is too inappropriate to take the nobles of the empire!

He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Kennett seems to have misunderstood, Count Bell may not have the strength to attack Bishop Beyoncé, I hope you don't jump to conclusions." ”

The slightest carelessness in such an issue, which concerns the overall situation of the empire, will lead to great trouble, and it must be taken seriously.

Truth be told, Alain. Stephen was also very puzzled in his heart, Beyoncé's strength was clear to him, with her background and strength, even if she succeeded herself as the archbishop of the church in the Ortigar Empire, it was okay, and she did have a treasure on her body that could replenish the consumption in battle. But who is Beyoncé making enemies with, and is the other party coming for this treasure on her?

What frustrated him the most was that no one knew what that treasure was, so naturally he couldn't find it, and this case couldn't be left untouched for a long time...... Thinking of this, he naturally turned a deaf ear to Marquis Abbe's words, and then turned to Steven. Kennett: "Your Excellency Kennett, I remember that you seem to have one more thing to do, and you are solely responsible for it, okay?" ”

"As you wish, Lord Stephen." Steven. Kennett bowed in response.

Facing the two people in front of him who looked at him as nothing, Marquis Abbe's face became more and more gloomy.

……

'Ahh Ahh ’

Hathaway, who had just been circling around the camp, suddenly sneezed several times in quick succession, startling herself...... It's not windy, it's raining, why do you sneeze all of a sudden?

"Your Excellency, rest early, and we will continue our journey tomorrow."

Leonardo. Beirut greeted her and slipped into the tent, and the others went into their own tents, and the camp fell silent for a while.

Hathaway was bored in the tent, she only sat for a while and then walked out, looking at the blue moon in the sky and thinking silently. (To be continued......)
