Chapter 84: The Fall (3)
Yesel has been in turmoil these days, and as the commander of the Golden Army in Jessel, it is Albert's duty to maintain law and order in the city. If nothing else, some of the command of the soldiers who came back from the north would belong to Albert, so he had to behave well these days.
Albert stared up at the terrace.
"Who's the person up there?"
The three-star military commander shuddered.
"It should be the Duke of Immiti."
"Should?"
Albert narrowed his eyes and looked at the waiter at the restaurant, his clothes were easily recognizable with the shop's sign emblazoned on them.
He said coldly.
"Tell me who it is."
The waiter said as if squeezing toothpaste.
“...... It's the Duke of Imiti. ”
Although it was a dukedom, Imiti was only a country duke from the west, and Albert would not save face for him, he pointed to the top of his head.
"Go and get the Duke of Immiti down."
The waiters huddled in a ball, and at last pushed the youngest one out, and the scapegoat ran upstairs with a sad face, and in a few moments he almost fell down the stairs like a roll.
"Imiti...... ...... Imiti"
"Did you run away?"
Albert muttered, not surprised by Imiti's departure.
The young waiter took a long breath and finally came to his senses.
"Duke of Immiti...... He's dead! ”
"Dead?"
The three-star commander exclaimed, Albert quickly turned around, stared at everyone with a sharp gaze, and those who heard the news immediately closed their mouths.
He waved his hand.
"What to do, what to do."
After receiving the order, the three-star commander walked away quickly, and the lively crowd on the street dispersed like a stream of water, but the whispering was getting louder and louder.
"Take me up."
Albert walked briskly up the stairs behind a few waiters, and the restaurateur was standing at the top of the stairs on the third floor, his face bloodless, staring blankly ahead.
Albert patted him on the shoulder, the two had dealt with each other a few times, and they were quite familiar.
"Boss Rai, what the hell is going on."
Rai muttered.
"Poisoning, poison in pufferfish."
Hearing Rai's words, Albert noticed the person next to him, who was wearing a dark chef's suit, and his whole body was shaking in place like a sifting chaff.
"I've already dealt with it...... It's been fine for so many years......"
Albert squinted slightly, motioned for a few of his men to follow him to control the two, and everyone walked forward.
The patio doors had been pushed open, and the streets were full of whispers, but the terrace was eerily quiet.
The Duke of Imiti was lying crookedly in his chair, the corners of his mouth covered with reddish-brown saliva and his eyes bulging out.
Albert took two steps forward and touched Duke Yimiti with the back of his hand, he should have just died, but the temperature on his body was a few degrees lower than normal, which seemed to be in line with the reaction of puffer fish poisoning, no wonder Boss Rai was so panicked.
Not to mention that Duke Imiti's family would come to him for trouble, his reputation was ruined.
Albert withdrew his right hand and turned to stare at the attendants.
"What just happened here."
The waiter on the far left stepped forward.
"Duke Yimiti is a frequent visitor here, and he doesn't like us to add wine to him, so I have been standing outside after the dishes have been ordered, and then one of them said that he wanted to meet Duke Yimiti, and I asked Duke Yimiti what he meant, and he did not object."
He swallowed and said with difficulty.
"Then I heard a scream, about ten minutes after the man went in."
Albert thought for a moment.
"Rai."
The restaurateur looked up, his face sad in tears.
"Commander Albert."
"Although your puffer fish here are freshly slaughtered, this shop has been open here for decades, and I believe in your craftsmanship...... Where are puffer fish bought from? ”
"We have someone to catch puffer fish in the Gueirero River."
"Do you have a detailed receipt of goods?"
"Yes."
Albert nodded, motioning for a few of his men and waiters to leave, and when the patio door closed, his gaze shifted between Rai and the cook, their faces pale.
Albert sighed softly.
"Yesel is a mess these days, and the death of Duke Imiti will definitely implicate more things, but with the deaths of these people, the thread seems to have come to an abrupt end."
Rai didn't say anything, he couldn't even explain it, someone had died in his shop because of puffer fish poison, and the news would spread in Yesel tomorrow morning at the latest.
"Rai."
Albert raised his voice, "This incident is too coincidental, I prefer to believe that you didn't do it, there are not many restaurants in the whole Yessel that can cook pufferfish, I will find out all the puffer fish that these restaurants have purchased in the past few months." Puffer fish poison is a precious alchemical material, they must have a source, but also have a destination, as for the disappeared ones...... I think that's what Duke Imiti ate. ”
"Albert Commander ......"
Rai didn't know if Albert was testing him, he was stiff, "What the hell are we going to do." ”
"The shop is temporarily closed, you are experts in puffer fish, and you must have a connection with the alchemy workshop that buys puffer fish poison, you have to help the Golden Army find out about the puffer fish poison these days, and I will declare your innocence in the name of the Golden Army afterwards."
Albert glanced at Imity's corpse before walking out the door.
He had a few words with a few of his men, and soon someone came to clean up the mess on the terrace, and through the glass of wine, Albert saw the light and shadows, like a ghostly ghost.
The corpse downstairs was quickly cleaned up, and the blood stains were scattered in a large area, but as the water washed away, the stone slabs returned to their original color.
As the night deepened, seeing that there was no valuable news coming from the streets, the crowd of onlookers could not hold back their loneliness and dispersed one after another.
Standing on the terrace and looking into the distance, the lights of the restaurants on the street went out one after another, and the Maple Avenue in the distance also looked dark.
Seeing that the clues were almost collected, Albert rubbed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the new four-star commander.
"Mosses, I'll leave it to you here, get the results as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Moses was a capable young man, and he knew what Albert meant.
Albert waved his hand, vanished into light chips, and appeared on the opposite terrace in the blink of an eye, and the guests here did not seem surprised by his arrival.
Oreo held up the muffin in his hand, and the latter took it.
It is impossible for Angelo not to know that Yessel is so messy, and Mourning suspects that Angelo will have to cut him when he comes back, so he sneaks to Oreo's side early, so Albert becomes Oreo's only eyeliner in the palace.
Albert swallowed the muffin in his hand.
"Who do you think did it?"
"I don't need to know who did it, I just need to know what the impact will be."
Albert looked surprised.
"Duke Imiti is dead...... In whose hands will his private soldiers fall? Angelo isn't dead yet, they're worrying about this? ”
"Of course."
Oreo tugged at the corners of his mouth and picked up Albert's words.
"Imiti brought four thousand men from the west, and he defected to the Duke of Apollion, and the two were said to be cousins, but Apollion did not seem to trust him as a relative."
"You have to mean that Apollion did this?"
"It's possible."
Oreo paused, and pointed to the top of his head.
"But I suspect he did it."
