Duon's mind went blank, and he didn't even listen to a word of what Bailey said afterward.

Count McNuss's ...... Funeral?

What the hell is going on?

Duang was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that his father has ...... Gone?

No, Laura said a few days ago that his injuries have healed, but his body is a little weak, and he is looking forward to it at home, waiting for him to come back......

No...... That's impossible!

Duang's mind was suddenly confused, he wanted to ask Bailey about that money-rich thing now, but now he couldn't even think of a word, he beat his spirit, and casually found an excuse to terminate the conversation with Bailey, and then hurriedly sent another private message to Laura.

Laura still didn't reply, and after waiting for about an hour, a figure pedaling a bicycle suddenly appeared in Duon's sight.

None other than Laura.

Seeing Duang, Laura shook her thigh and got out of the car. Now that she's pretty good at riding a bike, she puts it away and stands in front of Duang. Panting and said, "I finally got rid of them, if I hadn't ridden fast......"

Before she could finish speaking, Laura noticed that something was wrong with Duon's face.

Unsightly!

It's ugly!

Duang suddenly stretched out his two hands, grabbed Laura's shoulders tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Let me tell me, how is my father now?" ”

Laura chuckled in her heart, and a very bad thought suddenly arose in her heart, wondering if he already knew? No, I can't!

Laura forced her composure and showed a very reluctant smile: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" Count McNuss is very good now, and when I went to see him the other day, he asked me about you......"

Just said that. Laura closed her mouth, for she saw that two lines of tears were slowly flowing from Duon's eyes.

Laura couldn't pretend anymore, her head gradually lowered, and she said slowly: "It seems that you already know......"

Seeing her like this, Duang's heart sank suddenly.

He grabbed Laura's shoulders like a madman and shook him violently, "What the hell is going on? Is my father dead? Isn't it? Tell me, tell me everything. Why are you lying to me? Why don't you tell me the truth! ”

Laura's eyes were very gloomy: "It's the Countess who won't let me tell you, I'm afraid you'll ......"

"Don't say it, don't say it. I don't want to hear this! Duang yelled, "Laura, hurry up and tell me the truth." Tell me all, count me in begging you! ”

That's it. Laura couldn't hide it anymore. She sighed softly and told Du Ang the whole thing as it was.

It turned out that Duang mysteriously disappeared at that time, and Count McNuss, who was already seriously injured, was even more seriously ill because he was worried about his son's comfort. Although it was not fatal, it was always in a state of unconsciousness, and at that time, Du Ang's family was suffering from internal and external troubles, and Du Ang was missing. Count McNus was unconscious, and the Countess was in tears all day, and the house was a mess.

In order to treat Count McNuss, the famous doctors in the imperial capital were basically invited, but everyone was basically helpless for Count McNuss, and they took a lot of medicines, but there was no good effect, and even His Majesty Charles XVI sent the imperial doctors in the court, but it still didn't work.

At this time, I don't know where I heard the news, I heard that thirty miles outside the imperial capital, there is a small town called Portola, there is a miracle doctor, the means are superb, not to mention the treatment of dead flesh and bones, but only the patient still has a breath, this miracle doctor has a way to save people back.

Upon hearing this, the Countess immediately sent someone to invite the famous doctor back at all costs to treat Count McNuss for treatment. However, three groups of people were sent in a row, but they couldn't invite the famous doctor back, because they didn't come at all, and they didn't come to pay any money.

The famous doctor said that he now had several serious patients there, and that he had to rely on his own treatment every day to prolong his life, and that if he left and came to the imperial capital to treat Count McNuss, it would take at least a day to return, and without him, these patients would surely die. The famous doctor said that he was only a doctor, not a politician, and that in his case, the lives of all patients were equally precious, and there was no distinction between high and low, and he would not leave the lives of these patients because of the high power of Count McNuss, so he was willing to relieve Count McNuss of his illness, but Count McNus had to come to Porto in person and come to him in person to see him.

Such a reason is absolutely tenable!

The Countess feared for her husband's life, and although she was a little dissatisfied with the famous doctor's inaccessibility, she could not say anything more, and the next day she arranged for the Count of McNus to be sent to Porto in a carriage to see the famous doctor for treatment.

However, just thirty miles away, something happened.

A few more masked men, and the magician, somehow learned of the news, and then set up an ambush on the way, and attacked Count McNuss's convoy, a full forty-two people, including Count McNus and the captain of the guard Royce, who was in charge of the guard, thirty-one people were killed on the spot, and only eleven escaped alive, and all of them were wounded.

This was due to the fact that the attackers scattered immediately after the successful attack and did not pursue them, otherwise these eleven ordinary people who were just servants and maids would not have escaped alive.

Fortunately, due to her poor health, the Countess did not go with Count McNuss, but stayed at home and waited for news, otherwise she would most likely be one of the victims. When the news of Count McNuss's death came back, the Countess fainted on the spot.

That night, the body of the Earl of McNus was brought back, and when she touched her husband's cold cheek, the countess's heart was like a knife, and with a whoa, she vomited a mouthful of red blood.

It was a terrible situation. There are simply no words to describe it.

was originally a happy family, but in just over a month, the son disappeared inexplicably, and I don't know where it is, and the husband died.

The assassination of Earl McNus shocked the government and the opposition, His Majesty Charles XVI, Emperor of the Bauhinia Empire. Together with the two princes, they came to the house of Count McNuss, expressed their deep condolences to the countess, and solemnly stated that they would gather the strength of the whole country to capture the murderer of Count McNus as quickly as possible. Avenge Count McNuss. The Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Light also came and personally celebrated Mass for Count McNuss. as well as blessings to the countess.

In addition to them. The military of the Empire, the old subordinates of Count McNuss, the Marquis Solomon's family, the head of the Knight Guild, and the head of the Imperial Wizards Guild. In just a few days, these have heads and faces in the imperial capital. The big people, who are usually rarely seen, almost all appeared in Count McNuss's house.

Some people come to mourn with sincerity, while others attend because they don't want to be the target of suspicion. The murderer of Count McNuss has not yet been caught. His identity is now a very sensitive topic.

Under the personal attention of His Majesty the Emperor, Charles XVI, a litany of suspected targets surfaced.

Although Count McNus has always had good interpersonal relations in the court and the opposition, it is absolutely impossible to want to offend no one in his decades-long career in the sea.

According to statistics, there are more than 160 people who have a grudge against Count McNuss and have a motive for killing, and there are names and surnames to be queried.

No way!

After reading the list and resumes of these people, Charlie XVI didn't say anything, and the eldest prince Powell stared at his red eyes and almost scolded his mother.

What kind of bullshit list is this?

Who worked it out?

Withdraw him from me! Never Hiring!

Although there were often disputes over political differences in the past, and they often blushed and quarreled with thick necks, the relationship between the eldest prince Powell and Count McNuers was far closer than that of ordinary people.

It has long been said that as a member of the royal family, especially the eldest prince who is likely to inherit the throne in the future, Powell has a lot of people who come and go, and there are few people who may be able to call him friends.

Count McNuss, count one.

And it's the kind of best friend who can make friends with him.

His best friend was assassinated and died, Powell was already very sad, he has always paid great attention to his appearance, but he has not even washed his face in the past few days, and he has not shaved his beard, he cried several times, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and even his spirit was a little trance.

He has been looking forward to the results of the investigation as soon as possible, and then be able to avenge his good friend as soon as possible, but after waiting for such a long time, what the people below showed him was such a bullshit thing.

On a certain day, who and who had an argument with Count McNuss over something or something, and who was the eyewitness at that time, and so on.

On a certain day, because the fruit stand was placed in front of the door of the Earl McNuss, it was possible to hold a grudge and wait for revenge, and even after a drunken time, he said that I want to kill the bitch of McNuss after he was drunk, and there were witnesses at that time, and so on.

On a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year, Count McNus was whipped five times by Count McNus in accordance with military law because he was late for an early morning exercise, and although he did not say anything resentful, it was inferred from human nature that he probably had the idea and motive of killing Count McNuss. How......

……

There are 166 names in the whole article, all of which are this kind of bullshit stuff!

The anger of the eldest prince Powell can be imagined.

According to his original thoughts, the list reported below should only have a few people with the greatest suspicions, and the number should not be too many, and then these people are either raided or tortured to extract confessions or coercion and inducement, anyway, it doesn't matter if you use all kinds of means, a little bit of asking, you can always find some clues and breakthroughs.

But now...... So many people!

Can so many people be arrested?

Can they all be tortured to extract confessions?

If you do this, what kind of impact will public opinion have? How bad will the rumors be circulating on the streets?

Damn, that's a hundred and sixty-six people!

The Grand Prince Powell and His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI are having a headache about how to catch the murderer, while on the other side, the Countess is also having a headache about what she should have a headache about.

At that time, Duon had not yet made contact with Laura, so in the hearts of everyone, including the countess, he was in a state of mysterious disappearance, and there was no reliable news at all, and no one knew whether this young master was still alive in this world.

If at any other time, Duang disappeared, it might not be a very important topic, at least for people outside their family, it didn't matter if he was missing or not, whether he was dead or alive, and not many people cared, but not now. Because, now that Count McNus has died suddenly, the title of Earl needs to be inherited by someone, and more importantly, the head of the McNus family also needs to immediately determine the next patriarch...... (To be continued......)
