Chapter 264: Inquiry (For the sun and moon in the pot, the sleeve is good.) Silver Alliance)
Roland Manor.
As soon as Fang Xian and Pete walked into the living room, they saw Baron Andre Rowland chattering and complaining about something: "Those greedy vultures, knowing that our Roland family has made a fortune, want to take a bite, especially a businessman who came out of nowhere and said that he was willing to buy the equity certificate with 50,000 gold fees...... Is he despising our Roland family? I'd rather sell 40,000 to other nobles than do business with merchants!" β
"Father."
Pete entered the living room, called out, and told him what he had encountered today.
Andrei's expression suddenly became serious: "During this time, try not to go out. β
"Father means that this attack, the target of which is us, is related to the equity of the New World?" Pete is not stupid either, he reacted immediately, his face flushed with anger: "How dare they? β
"There's no way around it, and I'm not sure."
Baron AndrΓ© got up from the sofa and seemed to have made up his mind: "I have decided to sell the certificate of ownership to the Marquis de Miller family immediately, even if the price is a little lower...... In my heart, my family is a treasure! β
"It's a shame......" Pete muttered.
"We've gotten enough, haven't we?" Fang Xian smiled and looked at Andre again: "For this attack, are there any suspicious targets?" β
"I suspect it's the businessman, the kind of low-class person who would choose such a drastic approach...... When I don't know? What can't the lower class do in order to climb up? β
Andrei regained his usual arrogant look.
Fang Xian shook his head, but he didn't refute, just asked, "Our family has a good relationship with the Miller family?" β
"No, it's just that among the bidders, they are the most powerful......" Baron Andrei replied with some weakness: "There are some connections, but they cannot be easily trusted." β
"In short, everything should be over."
β¦β¦
Although I was looking forward to it, there were still two uninvited guests at the dinner.
"Your Excellency, we are agents of the Special Section, and we need to ask Pitt and Mr. Daniel to assist in the investigation of the attack in the afternoon."
The two extraordinaries came to the manor and showed their credentials.
"Yes, I want to catch the murderer more than you do." Andre said a little arrogantly: "Butler, take the two guests to the living room." β
"Mountain black tea from Narnias, hopefully the best taste for both."
Macente, the butler, held a silver tray and brought tea, and stood aside with a smile, waiting for his master's orders at any time.
"Thank you."
The young detective picked up the white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and introduced himself: "My name is Red, and this is my partner, Tabor!" β
"Hello two."
The members of this special department most likely used pseudonyms, and Fang Xian didn't bother to remember them.
"Well, then, please describe this afternoon's situation again."
Red took out his notebook and pen, ready to take notes.
"Okay, I'll ...... my brother this morning," Pete shrugged his shoulders and began to describe what had happened.
Red interrupted a few times and asked questions.
At the end, he suddenly looked at Fang Xian: "Mr. Daniel, I heard that you are a student of the Occult Academy, and when you were attacked, you behaved a little abnormally?" β
"Yes, I tried to find the attacker, but I didn't succeed."
Fang Xian shrugged his shoulders, knowing that the change in his eyes couldn't hide it from others.
Moreover, there is nothing to hide about him being transcendent, everyone knows it.
"Can you tell me your rank and path?"
Red immediately asked.
"The second ladder, the road is secret!"
Fang Xian frowned and replied.
"So...... Do you know or hire a 'druid'? The corners of Red's mouth curled slightly.
"Nope." Fang Xian replied in a deep voice.
Red was about to ask again, when he heard Pete frown: "Enough!" You're here to help us find the prisoner, and you're asking us to help with the investigation, not the interrogation! β
"Of course, if it's a civilian, we'll ask them to go to the police station and slowly cooperate......"
Red replied nonchalantly.
"That's enough, thanks to the cooperation of the two gentlemen, it's time for us to go."
Taber, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke, pulled Red up, and said goodbye and went out.
Fang Xian and Pete didn't move, it was the housekeeper Mason who sent the two agents to the gate of the manor and bowed down to see off the guests.
"They...... It's too much, is it treating us like criminals? We are the victims. β
Pete got up and paced irritably.
"Perhaps, something else has happened."
Fang Xian's eyes flashed, and he knew that it was probably the murderer's death that had been discovered.
β¦β¦
Outside Roland Manor.
"Why are you stopping me from continuing I ask?"
Red looked at his companion.
"The other party is the victim...... And, Daniel really only has a second tier, and the average mystery man can't hide it from my eyes, you know......" Tabor took a contact lens from his own eye that resembled a contact lens.
The color of his pupils suddenly turned scarlet: "And 'Druid' is a third-tier profession. β
"Even if it's not him, there may be an intersection or an acquaintance."
Red muttered, knowing that he was a little strong, and his voice gradually deepened.
"Actually, I don't think it's complicated this time, and it's not very malicious...... It's more like a warning, after all, it's the servants and bodyguards who die, not the nobles. β
Tabor smiled: "It's just that in the end, I don't know what happened, and the murderer was killed...... But it is also justifiable self-defense. β
"We need to get to the bottom of it." "I suspect it's the turmoil caused by the acquisition of the New World's equity certificate. β
"Yes, the great nobles are all in...... I'm under pressure from above to try to calm things down, not escalate, you know? β
Tarber sighed.
"This filthy ......aristocratic quid pro pro quo," Red cursed angrily.
"Look at it, the world is always getting better, isn't it?" Tabor shrugged his shoulders: "In ancient times, the nobles even had their own private fiefs and armies, could enact their own laws, and monopolized the path to becoming transcendent...... Thanks to the Tower of the Wise Sage, it is it that spreads knowledge and guides civilization. β
"I heard that in the Silver Eagle Federation, the aristocracy has been abolished, and citizenship is demarcated by property, and various rights are ......," Red said quietly.
"But in the Narnias Empire, the emperor and the nobility were still in control of everything, FΗ BΓ i and degenerated...... We're not good or bad. β
Tabohaha laughed and said, "Don't compare with the top, compare with the bottom, you will be happier." β
