Volume 3: He's a Magician Chapter 30: The Prosperous Imperial Capital

The ghost took a step forward: "It's rude for your guest to come. ”

"We just got lost and went wrong." One of them hurriedly left the place with the other four, as if a ghost was chasing him.

The man looked at the five people as if they had seen ghosts, and couldn't help but wonder, what the hell is going on, getting lost and going to the wrong place?

"Black gentleman, who was it just now?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

The black gentleman was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Sherlock in pajamas, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Young master? I thought you were asleep. ”

"You're really noisy." Sherlock said this, but in fact he couldn't sleep at all, and whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the dark past, and those monstrous resentments would keep him awake at night.

"I was negligent." The black gentleman seemed to be very guilty, but he still had a smile on his face, and there was a little guilty look.

"Young master, in three days, the new emperor god will take office." The other party reminded in a low voice.

"Oh." This was to be expected, so he just responded coldly.

At noon the next day, a carriage with the Gardner family crest slowly stopped in the open space outside the fence in the courtyard of the Ford Heslett mansion, and a middle-aged man in a fancy dress got out of the carriage. Ford Heslett, in fact, he also knew that Randolph was secretly selling drugs from the whole clan, and the only person who knew about it was himself.

No matter what century the drug trafficking is, which country is an unpardonable capital crime, but after all, it is his maternal grandfather's family, and suddenly he received the news that the whole family was wiped out, and while complaining in his heart that Randolph was to blame, he also hated Sherlock, and he also knew that the other party was not wrong, but in the end, he just couldn't forgive the other party, the hatred of the extermination, Randolph deserved to die, but what about Eleno? She obviously didn't do anything wrong, but one person made a mistake and all the people suffered, as long as you are a member of the Stewart family, even if you didn't do anything wrong, you will be implicated and die together.

Hessel got out of the carriage, and as soon as the black gentleman took him from the garden all the way to the yard, he saw Edwina lying alone in front of a small black hole and didn't know what she was looking at, if it wasn't for the small hole, it is estimated that she would have wanted to poke her whole head into it, suddenly a pair of pale hands stretched out from the black hole, it is estimated that because they had been soaked in the water for too long, these hands had rotted in a large area, revealing the white bones inside, and a foul smell of carrion came to her nose, Edvina only felt a wave of turning in her stomach, but she was not frightened by these handsIt's no wonder that I was too curious at the beginning, and curiosity killed cats, and it's no wonder that I have always smelled a foul smell in the yard recently, like the rancid smell emitted by animals that have been dead for more than a week.

It's just that where did this corpse come from, who would kill someone and hide it in their own yard, isn't this the head in the water?

"Eleanor Vera, daughter of the Vera family and beloved daughter of the Marquis of Hobert." Edvina suddenly remembered this person, that is, the eldest lady who left her younger brother in the haunted house in order to get the position of the head of the family, it is true that if there is no male blood relative in the British family, the woman or spouse can inherit the family business and inheritance, but it is also that there is no male in this family, or the next head of the family dies of illness, or dies unexpectedly, and there are no other brothers, the woman can inherit, but she only kills her younger brother to seize the inheritance, no wonder it will end up like this, this is self-inflicted evil, although you are lucky to inherit it in the end, it will always be the day of the East Window incident, and I am afraid that it will be even more embarrassing.

"She was killed by her own brother, Count Carl Vera." Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind her, but Edvina was frightened, and suddenly she turned around and saw the black gentleman, who was already standing behind her.

In the mansion, Hessel looked at the enemy in front of him calmly, but he couldn't see any resentment towards Sherlock on his face, not even a trace of anger, but his eyes were as sharp as a blade, it was really difficult to ignore this kind of look, Sherlock had an indifferent face, he knew what the other party was here for, wasn't it because of the destruction of the Stewart family, but didn't that kind of rat want to be completely eliminated? It's just that after all, it's the other party's grandfather's family, and it's inevitable that he will be angry, but he won't regret what he did, and since he made a decision, don't hesitate.

"How did you get those pictures?" Hessel didn't play around the bush either, he didn't come to avenge Randolph this time, he wasn't a fool, he himself said that drug trafficking was a big crime, so it was impossible to avenge a criminal with kindness, he just wanted to know how the other party got the evidence from Randolph.

Sherlock was very surprised, he thought he was here to ask about the crime, but he didn't expect him to ask about this, with a very strange look on his face, like mockery: "I think he probably thinks that drug trafficking is very dishonorable, as long as people want to change their past mistakes and be a new person." ”

Hessel stared at him coldly, staring at him like a snake staring at its prey, what kind of pain to change the past, it was clearly nonsense, he knew Randolph very well, how could he easily admit his mistake, his face suddenly became very cold: "Ford Heslett, it is not a good habit for children to lie, there will always be a day when lies will be exposed, when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be bad for your reputation, I received the news that the former emperor will be disposed of, it is because you used lies to falsify the truth, and you sent an innocent person to death, When the final retribution comes, it will send you to eighteen layers of hell, and the thousands of lives that have died at your hands will be enough to make you irreversible. ”

Sherlock only raised the corners of his lips sarcastically when he heard this, and he couldn't find any trace of fear on his face, in fact, it was not difficult for the other party to know this, eighteen layers of hell? I'm afraid I don't know who will go to hell this time, but the one who pushed you to hell will be him, Sherlock Ford Heslett.

"Won't the Duke be glad that Randolph will recognize his mistake?"

Hessel didn't have the patience to spend any more time with the other party, just got up from the chair and said coldly: "I'll wait, wait until you tell the truth yourself." ”

Then he brushed his sleeves and left.

Edwina sat at the table, but the thought of the rotten hands she had seen in the hole this morning made her feel sick to her stomach, and her favorite dessert on the table had no appetite at all, and she only said three words: "I'm not hungry." ”

She got up and went back to her room, and Sherlock and the Black Gentleman all looked at her with puzzled expressions, not knowing that people who were usually so good at eating didn't eat a bite today.

Sherlock felt a sense of foreboding, and Edvina had just walked to the door of the room when she suddenly stopped, and a hand came out from behind to cover her mouth.

On the snowy mountain, Edvina woke up from a coma and found that her hands and feet were tied, and there was a strange young man standing in front of her, but to be honest, the person in front of her really looked a bit like the ancestor of the monkey, in fact, she really didn't know what the ancestor of the monkey looked like, so she could only say that he was half a monkey.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing with me?! She said it again in a tone that sounded very annoyed.

He is the Gardner family, the third son of the Duke of Hesel, Viscount Dehua, and he is also the least valued by Hesser, and can even be said to be dispensable, usually he doesn't even dare to speak loudly to Hesel, where did a Sherlock mere earl dare to speak to Hessel like that, yesterday Hessel's face was extremely gloomy when he returned from the Ford Heslett Mansion, but fortunately he didn't take his anger out on himself, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand here today.

And the purpose of kidnapping Edwina today is to attract Sherlock, but Hessel doesn't know yet, isn't it to force the other party to tell the truth in person, then use Edwina's life to contain the other party, for her Sherlock has to tell the truth obediently, but how does he know that Hessel doesn't care about the truth at all, he is just glad that there is a bed bug like Randolph and ruins the reputation of their Gardner family, who in the British aristocracy doesn't know that he and Randolph are brothers, maybe it will make people misunderstand something, The only way to do this is to make a break with the fallen House of Steward.

"Before Ford Heslett arrives, I can only wronged you Miss Sherman, and if you want to blame, blame the Earl."

"It's really long-winded." Edwina coldly turned her eyes away and looked at the vast snow in the distance, the person in front of her who she was extremely disgusted at the moment, just when Dehua thought that the other party would not speak again, but listened to Edwina say disdainfully, "No wonder Duke Hersel doesn't value you, and quietly your brain is simply used as an ornament." ”

The smug smile that Dehua had originally put on his face froze suddenly, and became extremely ugly for a while: "What do you mean?" ”

"What do you mean?" There was a hint of contempt in Edwina's smile, "Don't you know? Duke Hersel didn't care how Sherlock got the photo at all, he wanted the Stewart family to get rid of the relationship, but you are nosy, if today's incident is spread, others will think that the Duke of Gardner cares so much about the photo, should he also be involved in drug trafficking. ”

This is simply a threat, Dehua was dumbfounded for a while, but he couldn't say a word, he was angry when he saw the contempt in the other party's eyes, and he raised his hand to give the other party a hard slap, but before the slap fell, he was grabbed by the wrist from behind.

Sherlock held the knife and cut the rope on Edwina's body, turned to look at Dehua and said mercilessly: "I don't admit that you are stupid, I think you are not only stupid now, but also a stupid thing that has more than enough to accomplish and fail." ”

"Who are you to scold me?!" Dehua stared at him, his eyes almost dripping venom with hatred.

"What if your father, the Duke of Hessel, asked me to tell you?" Sherlock's starry blue eyes looked at him coldly, and his extremely handsome face became extremely cold.

"What, my father?" Dehua looked at the other party in disbelief, almost unable to believe his ears, "How is this possible?" ”

"What's impossible?" Sherlock's voice had become extremely cold, and there was a faint hint of anger, "Hessel seems to care about the Stewart family and the photo, but he can't wait to draw a line with the Stewart family, if he really wants the so-called truth, he can know it in the morning, or he only needs to investigate to find out, why there has been no movement until now." ”

Indeed, there is no need for him to cover up the truth about this kind of thing.

"Why?" , Dehua's expression suddenly became hideous, "Because of my status as a viscount, I am not as good as two brothers in that family after all, a marquis and an earl, and I have been pressed underground by my identity and power, and I am nothing in the eyes of my father and mother, as well as the old lady, worse than the mud in the soles of my shoes!" ”

Sherlock looked at him strangely, in fact, Sherlock was not impatient to care about the other party's status in the family or what happened, and even this person had nothing to do with him, but he should never have reached out to Edwina, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his voice also raised the decibels: "You only complain like this, it seems that I am even inferior to a pig and a dog, instead of having time to complain to me about this mess here, it is better to think about how to win the attention and appreciation of Duke Hessel." ”

Just as Dehua was about to say something, Sherlock continued: "But you don't have that opportunity anymore. ”

"What do you mean?" A sense of unease suddenly welled up in Dehua's heart.

"Black Gentleman, I order you to kill Devard Gardner."

β€œyes,my lord。”
