It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The summer nights on the outskirts of Bordeaux are breezy and refreshing, and apart from the annoying mosquitoes, everything seems so quiet and comfortable. Mo Ming, Sun Heiqi, Bilasi, Lu Qi, Kojiro, and Shinzaemon were all armed and quietly touched the location determined by Sun Heiqi during the day.

It's a typical French farmstead, with red-brick houses that look sturdy, and it's no wonder the Scots consider this their old nest. The farm has several rooms, including a bedroom, a kitchen, a barn, and a well in front of it. The farm is surrounded by a lush vineyard, and it is this vineyard that greatly covers the approach of Mo Ming and the others.

I really don't know what the Scots think about Lu Dao, and don't they know how to choose a place with a wide view and an open field? Mo Ming couldn't help but complain.

The farm bedroom was still lit and the door was open. There was a man's rude voice and a woman's debauched laughter inside, Mo Ming smiled, it seemed that there was still a show inside. Such a lack of vigilance, he doesn't even close the door, I really don't know what Lu Dao thinks of these Scots. Is this careless, careless, or careless?!

Mo Ming gestured, and Sun Heiqi comprehended. I saw him take a small hand-thrown bomb from his waist, carefully inspect the fuse, and then put it back on his waist, and then he picked up a tinder jar to see if the fire in it was extinguished; After inspecting both, he pulled out two Model 1633 flintlock pistols from his bosom and began to check the charge and safety device.

Behind him were silent Kojiro and Shinzaemon, both of whom were also carrying two pistols loaded with medicine and a sharp katana.

Several people have been acting together for a long time, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other, and many times they only need a gesture and a look to understand each other's meaning. Sun Hei Nanachi rushed to the door with his waist brisked, followed by Kojiro and Shinzaemon; With a pistol in his hand, Mo Ming formed a second echelon with Lu Qi and Bi Lasi, and also rushed forward.

A Scotsman at the door was sitting alone drinking in the cool night breeze, when he suddenly heard a dense sound of footsteps outside the door, and was about to shout when he saw a black shadow suddenly jump in front of him.

"Bang!" With the explosion of the Type 1633 flintlock pistol, a blinding flash of gunfire flashed in the darkness, and the Scotsman at the door fell to the ground without a sound.

After shooting, Sun Heiqi did not stop, threw away the flintlock pistol that had been fired, took out a simple hand-thrown bomb and tinder canister wrapped in thin iron from his waist, lit the fuse, and walked quickly to the bedroom next to him that was making a loud noise, and the Scots were obviously having fun in it.

"Bang dang!" Sun Heiqi slammed open the door that was not closed tightly, and then threw the sparkling hand-thrown bomb into the stunned eyes of everyone in the room, and then quickly exited the room.

"Boom!" Barely counting the seconds, the bomb exploded with a dull explosion more than a second after it was dropped, and scattered steel nails and broken pieces of iron raged through the room, and screams rang out one after another.

Shortly after the hand-thrown bomb exploded, Kojiro and Shinzaemon had already rushed past Sun Heichi and rushed into the house, both of them holding a flintlock pistol loaded with ammunition in one hand and a katana buckled at their waists.

"Bang! Bang! The two pistols in Shinzaemon's hand were fired one after the other, killing two Scots who were not seriously injured and were about to take up arms to fight back. The improvised hand-thrown bomb was so powerful that it could only kill and cause chaos, so the Scots in the room were barely killed by the bomb on the spot, and the worst one was only bleeding profusely.

Kojiro also quickly finished firing his pistol, killing a Scotsman who was crawling towards his weapon and a woman who was yelling. After shooting, the two quickly drew out the shiny katana on their waists, and together with Sun Heiqi, who was holding a flintlock pistol and entered the room again, they instantly controlled the situation in the entire room.

Mo Ming and the other three entered the room a few seconds later than them. At this time, the situation in the room was settled, three Scots and a suspected dancer were killed by a pistol and fell to the ground bleeding, leaving three Scots and two dancers alive.

One of the three Scots was wounded, the bomb seemed to explode at a very close distance from him, and multiple fragments or steel were embedded in his body, and it was really hard to say whether he would have survived. The other two were not seriously injured, and they were being held to their necks by the katana of Kojiro and Shinzaemon at the moment, and they did not dare to move.

The two dancers seemed frightened, they curled up by the wall, sobbing silently, and Sun Heiqi forced them with guns on the side.

Bilas and Lu Qi stood in the corner with two pistols, Mo Ming looked around the room, and then frowned and said, "Why is there an extra man?" Inspector Sun, which one is the one who is stalking you? ”

"Dead, the closest corpse to you." Sun Heiqi stared ahead with his eyes and said.

Mo Ming took two steps around the room, and then said in English to the Scots in the room, "Give you two minutes to think, if anyone thinks they have information at hand that interests me, then he may be able to survive." I'm not kidding, start the timer now. ”

"I have something to say...... "A wounded Scotsman on the ground whispered as he pursed his lips.

"Shut up! Leicester! Don't you see that they're teasing us at all? They're East Coasters! We'll all ...... Ah......" said the other with a sudden growl.

Shinzaemon slammed the back of his knife on the guy's back, and the sharp pain interrupted his next words.

"Lester, is it?" Mo Ming still stood in place, expressionless and said to the middle-aged Scottish man on the ground who looked a little embarrassed: "Now you can say, if your news is enough to satisfy me, then I think you can live." ”

"Hugo committed an affair in Marseille as a young man, and he and his wife conspired to deceive and kill a baron who had travelled there. And the baron's son......" Lester began, at first it was harder, but the more he spoke, the more fluent he became.

"Shut up! Leicester! You devil! You're going to hell! The "Scotsman" under Shinzaemon's control suddenly became agitated, and he began to curse at Lester.

"Looks like you're that Mr. Hugo." Mo Ming looked at this guy with gray hair, and suddenly smiled, "What a person with a story." Bilas, shut him up, I'll interrogate him later! ”

Bilas picked up a piece of twine, tied Hugo firmly, and shoved a mass of rags into his mouth. Under the double threat of muskets and sabers, Hugo did not dare to resist.

"Alright, you can move on now." Mo Ming turned around, looked at Lester and said.

Lester licked his lips and continued, "Good sir. The baron's son inherited the title, and he now has a large estate in Toulouse and the Languedoc region of Haute Gallen, with an unrivalled influence. He even married the niece of a close vassal of a king in the north, and if you easterners want to do business in the rich regions of Toulouse, Languedoc, or even Provence, you can no more than this powerful baron. ”

"Getting to the point!" Mo Ming looked at Lester coldly, "What is the connection between that baron and this Mr. Hugo?" ”

"After the old baron's death, the murderer was never found. The little baron had been searching for his father's murderer all these years, and had declared that whoever caught the murderer or provided a conclusive clue would receive not only a bounty of two hundred francs, but also his own friendship. I think that's going to help you guys a bit. ”

"Perhaps. So, why haven't you reported this Monsieur Hugo all these years? ”

Lester snorted and didn't speak. Mo Ming looked at him, and knew that this kid was probably also a scumbag habitual offender with a lot of cases, maybe he also had his share in that incident back then, but he didn't plan to pursue it.

"Well, there's the last question. How to make this Mr. Hugo honest and obedient? Mo Ming asked.

"He has a daughter who lives in the countryside of La Rochelle......"

"Woo woo woo ......" Hugo, who had been squatting on the ground, struggled violently at this time, and Shinzaemon and Bilas worked hard together, so that the guy could barely hold down.

Mo Ming walked up to Hugo, who was tied up like a dumpling, the corners of his mouth curled up in a dangerous arc, he looked into Hugo's eyes and said, "How old are you this year?" It's almost fifty, right? You must love your daughter very much, does your daughter know that you are a murderer? ”

Hugo stared at Mo Ming and did not speak.

"Let Monsieur Hugo speak." Mo Ming commanded. Hearing this, Bilas took out the rag from Hugo's mouth.

"Spare Lola! I know what to do! Hugo looked into Mo Ming's eyes and said slowly.

"What a great father's love." Mo Ming said with a smile, "I like to deal with smart people the most." I remember that one of Ludwig's personal servants was also named Hugo, and he was about the same age as you. Lester, isn't he? ”

"Yes, sir, after Hugo fled from Marseille to Bordeaux, he met Ludwig, who was a small merchant at the time, and then assisted him in starting a textile business, and in the process, he helped Ludwig kill many of his competitors without knowing it. Many times...... Many times they have come to me for help. Lester said.

"So, I think Mr. Ludwig was involved in the murder of the baron, right, Hugo?" Mo Ming's eyes rolled, and he decided to draw the basin of dirty water to Ludwig.

"Yes...... He participated. He was in dire need of a cash flow in his business, so he conspired with me to murder Baron Reyer. Under the pressure of Mo Ming's dangerous eyes, Hugo said with difficulty.
