Chapter 216: There Is Really a Secret Path!?
"In fact, from beginning to end, this Borpe was the only one who planned it, and it should have been this person who first told Mirio about the plans for tourist attractions." Yan Feng explained.
After Mirio made the offer to Mayor Rao, he was firmly rejected, so he began to think of the next step after Mirio regretfully told Borpe about the result.
"Oh! I see, that is, it is Borpe who wants to buy the Palazzo della Signoria, right? But will this help in developing the town into a tourist attraction? Andrea said suddenly, but then asked suspiciously.
Richelieu smiled and replied to her, "Naturally, the biggest selling point of this town is its long history, the Renaissance walls, the magnificent Palazzo della Signoria are the symbols of the town, and once the Palazzo della Signoria is bought, Borpe will be able to start promoting the name of the town of Auditore." β
"But in this way, could it be that Borpe for the town, okay? Wouldn't this transformation have a lot of benefits for the town? The increase in the flow of people in the town is also a good thing for the development of the town, right? Cailliaud was even more puzzled when he heard the explanations of the two.
Yan Feng touched Cayo's long soft hair and said, "On the surface, it does seem to be a great help to the town, but that Borpe is not such a kind person, in the final analysis, he is for his own interests, from his series of actions after being rejected by the mayor again and accidentally making the mayor so angry that he fell ill." β
"That guy definitely didn't want to develop the town out of good intentions, he instigated Mirio to seize power obviously to take control of the entire town to achieve his subsequent goals, although I don't know what his real purpose is for the time being, but I feel that it shouldn't be as simple as wanting to develop the town into a tourist attraction."
Harrier Eagle stroked his glasses and asked, "But these are just the Admiral's conjectures, I don't think there is any way to convince that Mirio by this alone, listening to Andrea and Cayo's description, that guy should have inherited his father's stubbornness, if we don't put the evidence in front of him, I'm afraid that person won't trust us easily." β
The company stroked the long blonde hair that fell on his shoulders and said with interest: "In other words, we need to find the true purpose and evidence of Borpe, right?" This kind of detective game-like plot is really interesting. β
Andrea clenched his little hand, waved it a few times in front of his chest, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not fun! If we fail, Grandpa Rao will be ousted from the position of mayor, and Mirio and Borpe will not know what means they will use to take the Lord's Palace! β
Yan Feng shook his head, "Although it's a pity to say this, but whether we succeed or not, I'm afraid that Old Man Rao will have to retire, after all, his body is indeed no longer suitable to serve as the mayor, the key is the candidate for the next mayor and his follow-up governance policy." β
VV was entrusted with his chin and pondered, "In other words, in order to reassure the mayor and Andrea, we must make sure that the next mayor's policy is really beneficial to the town before leaving, right?" β
"That's it, so we're going to split up next, one group goes to the town to inquire in detail about Borpe's words and deeds after coming to the town, and the other group tries to go to his location in the town to secretly check on if he can find more clues, and then find a way to convince Mirio, after all, if there are no accidents, he is almost destined to be the next mayor." Yan Feng nodded approvingly.
After Andrea heard Yan Feng's words, he volunteered: "Then let me go to the town to inquire!" I'm pretty familiar with my uncles and aunts in town! β
"No, you and Cayo can't go, if you suddenly walk out of the Lord's Palace and start asking around for information, it will definitely arouse the alarm of Borpe and Mirio, so it is easy to startle the snake, it is better not to even Antonio and Ugolini, the child's mind is not so careful and easy to leak his mouth, just let the four destroyers play around the town, so that they can also paralyze Borpe and them."
Yan Feng shook his head and refused after hearing Andrea's self-recommendation, and told his analysis and arrangement.
The company stood up, propped his hands on the table, and said excitedly: "In other words, there are only five of us who act in two groups, right?" How do you group them, can I be in a group with you? β
Richelieu and VV looked at her vigilantly after hearing the company's words, and then VV proposed, "I think it is better to let me and Harrier Eagle lead the team separately, after all, the language barrier is also a more troublesome problem." β
Yan Feng said approvingly, "Yes, due to the remoteness of this town, the townspeople should not be able to speak English. β
Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Then let's do this, Harrier Eagle, you and I are in a group, the two of us will go to Borpe and Mirio's residence to check it out, VV, you take the company and Richelieu to inquire about the news." β
Considering that the investigation team was secretive, it was best to make an appointment with as few people as possible, so Yan Feng only planned to go with the Harrier Eagle, while the other three adult ship girls who obviously showed signs of open and secret fighting were sent to the town by him to inquire about the news.
The eye contact between the three just now Yan Feng noticed that if he brought VV, it would ensure that the other two would pay most of their attention to their side when performing the task, resulting in a lack of concentration, so Yan Feng chose the Harrier Eagle who had just arrived at the town guard mansion to act together.
As it was getting late to-day, they decided to do so tomorrow morning, and that night they stayed in the Palazzo Auditore under the hospitality of Cristina.
During this period, Yan Feng also asked the old woman about the situation of this lord's palace through Andrea, and he wanted to verify whether his previous messy conjecture was correct.
However, Cristina is only a married daughter-in-law, and she does not know much about the past of the Auditore family.
I just heard that my husband's family, Auditore, used to be a well-known banking family in FranΓ§a, and then moved to this town after the family fell into the middle of the road.
Yan Feng was a little sorry for not asking about the specific situation, and it was impossible for Yan Feng to go to him to ask him if he had any of these when the old man Rao was sick in bed.
However, after asking for Christina's consent, Yan Feng planned to explore this manor.
"Admiral, is there anything strange about this manor? We've lived here for a year and we haven't found anything. β
Andrea, who was following behind Yan Feng, watched his admiral check around in the study next to the office, and asked curiously.
Yan Feng replied while groping carefully on the edge of the wall, "It's some of my cranky thoughts, you can think of it as if I was exploring in the ancient building, in fact, you don't need to accompany me, isn't it okay to play games with Richelieu and VV?" β
This time Yan Feng also brought the ship girl killing and Monopoly games without accident, and after teaching the game method to a few I countries, they were all addicted to it.
Except for Andrea, who was reluctant to leave his admiral, the other three had already played with Richelieu in the guest bedroom on the left side of the second floor.
Andrea, a tsundere and clingy cutie, was reluctant to leave Yan Feng's side for a moment after reuniting with the Admiral for a long time.
So he finally suppressed his desire for the game, and followed Yan Feng to start exploring in the manor.
"Hmm...... It's a pity, if you really have Eagle Vision, it should be easy to find. β
Yan Feng stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead after searching everywhere and found nothing, and said regretfully.
Andrea pretended to be disdainful and snorted, "So I'll just say, there's nothing strange about this house, at best it's a relatively long history, Admiral, you're really making a fuss." β
Yan Feng leaned against the wall and said with a smile, "That's right, after all, it's just my delusion, and the surname Auditore should be just a coincidence." β
"By the way, my Ellie daughter, don't you miss Daddy Admiral for so long? I've heard Cayo say that you sometimes say my name at night. β
When resting against the wall, Yan Feng saw that there was no one else around, and began to tease Andrea with confidence.
"Who would miss you! I'm just reminding myself to be careful that your daughter is a pervert, don't get me wrong! After hearing Yan Feng's words, Ellie jumped to her feet unexpectedly, and she retorted with a flushed face.
But then she gritted her teeth and thought, 'Cayo, that traitor! Next time, I must add a course to her, and I dare to reveal such a secret thing to the Admiral! β
Looking at Ellie's daughter's tsundere's cute appearance, Yan Feng couldn't help but tease her for a while, until Ellie was really about to get angry.
Yan Feng saw that the time was not early, and he propped up the wall with his hand and planned to go back to the room to sleep, "Okay, I won't tease you, let's go back to sleep, we have to go out early tomorrow morning...... Well? β
It turned out that at this time, Yan Feng suddenly felt that the wall he pressed suddenly fell inside, and the bookshelf behind him also made a tooth-aching "squeak" sound.
ββ¦β¦ Wouldn't it, really? β
Yan Feng looked at the dust that fell from the operation of the mechanism on the bookshelf in front of him, and looked confused.
Andrea also looked at the scene in front of her with her mouth wide open, she didn't expect that this ancient mansion really contained secrets.
After the bookshelf was completely removed to reveal the passage behind it, there was a "bang" sound, and Yan Feng even felt that the entire ground seemed to shake slightly.
Just when Yan Feng and Andrea were in a daze, the ship girls who were originally playing cards upstairs obviously sensed the movement, and they all dropped the game one by one and ran down to check the situation.
"Admiral! This is? β
VV looked at the secret passage in front of him and asked in surprise, and the others also looked at the passage in front of Yan Feng in surprise.
Yan Feng cautiously stepped into the passage and took a breath, although the air quality inside was a little poor, but he could feel that there should be a vent in the secret passage, at least it would not suffocate those who entered.
"I don't know the specifics, anyway, let's go down and have a look, by the way, has Ms. Christina been awakened?" Yan Feng turned his head to everyone and said, and asked about the old woman's situation.
Cayo shook his head, "Grandma went to bed early with Grandpa, and we didn't hear any movement in the master bedroom when we came down just now, so we shouldn't have noticed." β
After listening to this, Yan Feng said excitedly, "Then let's go down and check it out to see if we can find any secret information about the Auditore family." β
