Section 147 Search
In Jeff's stammering narrative, Arold roughly sorts out a scene in which the Assassin is wrapped in a gray cloak
In the cloak, his face was masked, and Jeff saw Baron Valk running to the iron fence at the sound of the noise, as if to say a few words to the masked assassin.
"What did they say?" Arold immediately asked Jeff.
"I don't hear clearly, but Baron Valker seems to think the assassin is here to save him." Jeff's words confirmed Arjord's suspicion that it was an operation to eliminate witnesses, but when Baron Valk's father and son were assassinated, there was no reason for the sinners to be arrested.
"The Assassins should still be in the castle for the guards to search." Arjod glanced at Jeff in disappointment, and although he wondered why the Assassins didn't just kill him together, he couldn't find any valuable information from Jeff now, so he had to be re-imprisoned, and he ordered Ron to search him.
The palace guards who received the order picked up the halberds in their hands and rushed into every room of the tower and the side buildings to search if they had seen any suspicious people.
"Peng~~." Sean's wooden door was pushed open, and two palace guards dressed in thick cloth armor with the wide brim of a dome broke in, sewing cloth sewn and filled with various wool and cotton wool, and sewn into small pieces of lattice, a kind of thick cloth armor that could be chopped.
"In the name of the minister-sama, we are going to search your room servants." After the palace guards broke in. Announced to Sean.
"Of course, as the retinue of the palace minister, I obey the order." Sean quickly stood up, leaned against the wall with open hands, and said to the palace guards.
"What? You are the retinue of Miyasami-sama. The two palace guards glanced at each other, and then at Sean, who looked harmless, although they thought that Sean could not be an assassin, but the older palace guard still looked around, this room was not large, except for a dilapidated cabinet, a wooden bed covered with hay, and a basket hanging in the center of the room. Put some dried fruit in it. It's really rudimentary, in line with the identity of the entourage.
"Nothing?" The younger palace guard stooped down to open the wooden cabinet, which contained nothing, and then looked around.
"Wait a minute." Right now. Older court guards. I accidentally saw Sean's gaze passing over the wooden bed. With a stir in his heart, he pointed to the wooden bed and asked Sean, "What's on the wooden bed?" ”
"Hay grass." Sean shrugged his shoulders. Said in a weak voice.
"Huh?" The brows of the older palace guards couldn't help frowning, and the three palace guards were killed in the dungeon, which made them, who were also palace guards, immediately alert at the slightest breeze, and at this time, no matter anyone except those noble nobles and courtiers was suspicious.
"What's wrong, is there a problem?" Although the other palace guard felt that his companion was a little sensitive, he still clenched the halberd in his hand, and the three of them were actually already crowded in this cramped room.
"I'm going to check this wooden bed." The older palace guard stepped forward, lifted the quilt from the wooden bed, and poked the halberd in his hand in the haystack a few times, but found nothing.
"Ahem~~." The fibers in the haystack fluttered, causing everyone in the room to cough, but the more serious palace guard put down his halberd, fell to one knee on the ground, and grasped the edge of the wooden bed with both hands.
"Believe me, I've seen thieves tie stolen goods to the bottom of wooden beds." The older palace guard, as he spoke, lifted the wooden bed with both arms, Sean's expression did not change, but his hands clenched unconsciously, but this small change was not noticed by the younger palace guard.
"Did you find anything?"
"Oh, damn it, it looks like I'm suspicious." As a result, the bottom of the wooden bed was empty, and nothing was found, and the older palace guard lowered the wooden bed in frustration.
"Haha, I'll just say how is it possible." His companion said mockingly, and Sean's face showed a relaxed smile, and just then, the shouts of the palace guards rang out from the corridor outside the door.
"What's wrong?" The two palace guards hurriedly grabbed the halberd in their hands and rushed out, completely ignoring Sean in the room, who had spent a lot of time rearranging the overturned wooden bed after they left, listening to the noisy voices in the corridor.
"The murder weapon was found in the room of an entourage, and there were blood stains on it."
"No, it's not me, you're mistaken."
"Catch him, catch him."
"Ah~~~."
"This guy said that he was the entourage of the palace minister, and he was still a noble child."
"Really? Lord, anything can happen, it's terrible. ”
"Hmph." The corners of Sean's mouth showed a sly smile, he rolled up his sleeve, where there was a scar, it was when he had just become Arrod's retinue, when he was teased by those noble children, the noble son with the shaved head left him a gift with a wooden sword, so he also left some gifts for the other party last night.
"So the murderer was caught?" Arod listened to Ron's report, and didn't expect to catch the assassin so quickly, but looking at Ron's way of wanting to speak and stopping, it seemed that there was something unspeakable.
"Tell me, who is the murderer?" Arold asked.
"Yes, one of your retinues." Ron stood in front of Arrod and said in embarrassment that an assassin who assassinated Baron Valk's father and son had a relationship with Arrod, and if the other nobles knew about it, they couldn't help but think about it.
"My retinue, hiss~~~." Arrod's brows furrowed, how could he be blamed on his own head, it seems that this assassin is not true.
"Lord Abel has arrived." At this time, the Duke of Able, under the protection of the Duke's Guard, came to Arold's room, the young duke was dressed in a magnificent gold-threaded robe, a Roman robe, it seems that although the ancient Roman Empire fell to the hands of the Germans, the glorious Roman Empire still left a deep impression on the Germanic nobles, so that the Germanic nobles were willing to imitate and worship.
