Chapter 142: Detective Van Lentin
Could it be that the style of painting will become a detective drama next? For this locked room murder case, Fan Lentin conducted an in-depth investigation and found that after ruling out all possibilities, no matter how incredible it is, it is also the only truth......
This is obviously impossible!
The murder of an ordinary person is a criminal case, and the murder of a king is a political event.
In political events, people no longer care about the truth, but about profits!
The first to arrive were a few big nobles, and then the spokesmen of interests sent by the princes, who did not dare to show their faces in public at this time.
None of these men came to avenge King Barry or to find the truth. The incident happened suddenly, and all they were thinking about now was which prince to support to get greater benefits, and then which prince should be blamed...... As for the waiter who fled, no one cared.
This matter must be that the pawn who was instructed by others could not afford such a big crime, and he did not have such a big political benefit to distribute.
Among the princes, although the eldest prince is the legal heir, he has lost the support of the elves and his strength has plummeted; The second prince is closer to the south, and a better agreement can be reached in the future; The third prince is "generous" and seems to be easier to manipulate...... These thoughts, which were previously frowned upon under the suppression of King Barry, are now all coming up! Several of the great nobles quickly exchanged short words, trying to form a temporary alliance before the situation became clear.
And some of the king's favourites knelt in front of the great bed, weeping mournfully, hoping to make a good impression on the others present.
But everyone in the process ...... are secretly paying attention to the silent Van Lentin.
"King Barry's Loyal Dog"...... They never doubted Van Renting's "loyalty" to King Bari, nor did they deny that there would inevitably be a reckoning with Van Renting next.
But everyone knows that now is the scariest time for Van Lentin! Because the chain around his neck has been untied, and the most powerful force of the royal family is still in the hands of Van Lentin! Before the new king succeeded to the throne and took over the authority to divide and win over this force, Fan Lunting could still control this force for a short time. Enough for him to deliver the final blow to avenge King Barry!
This force is invincible in this kingdom, and whoever it points to, everyone will accept the catastrophe! This is the reason why the three princes did not dare to enter the palace...... They were afraid that they would inexplicably arouse suspicion, and then they would be slaughtered by Fan Lenting to vent their anger!
No one in this country thinks they have a good relationship with this loyal dog......
How do they know that Fan Lentin, who looks like he is in grief and can't extricate himself, is actually thinking about things at a rapid pace.
Looking at the corpse of King Barry, what he thought about was the sudden appearance of the old man next door, those provocations, the quarrels about the elderly being afraid of the cold, the explanations of the headaches of those old people, and the countless pictures of the final stroke turned in his mind like a marquee, and finally stopped at the last scene Shen Yan looked at him from afar.
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth...... Fan Lentin suddenly figured out what he had overlooked before leaving!
There were no symptoms of a stroke on that face!
…… King Barry, he was poisoned by medium carbon!
…… Or by your own hands!
The cold is biting.
When Van Lentin Pegasus returned to the alley, he found the old man waiting for him in the alley.
Still sitting alone in a wheelchair, parked in the middle of the alley blocking the entire path. It's just that the little guy behind him has disappeared, and the old man's face is less crazy than before, and a little more calm and casual.
The white-haired old man sat quietly and watched the fallen leaves swirling in the wind.
"Hospital?" Fan Lentin asked with red eyes and a hoarse voice.
At this moment, under Shen Yan's prompting, Fan Lenting finally figured out the cause and effect! can turn him, the head of the palace and the head of the secret spy, and can't even figure out the reason...... The other party is undoubtedly the mysterious "hospital" organization!
Van Lunting received news a long time ago that the "Hospital" organization was going to take action against Barry, but he never found a clue under his strict defense...... He thought it was a fake message. How do you know that the other party has already made a move, but the target you can choose to start is your own "loyal dog"!
It's so ironic that you know, even if Van Lentin ran to the front of the palace and loudly announced that he had killed King Barry by himself, not many people would believe it! Everyone will only think that he is too sad and crazy. Because everyone believes that everyone can betray the king, but he, a loyal dog, will not, this has almost become the truth of the Upper Penglin Kingdom.
Even King Barry himself said that my son would betray me, but Van Lun could not.
As a result, the other party took advantage of his "loyalty" to carry out this assassination. He can't wait to cut this old man in two now! But at the same time, Fan Lunting also understands very well that the other party must have a deep meaning when he wants to see him, especially since he has no way out now.
"Well, it's the hospital." Shen Yan replied in an affirmative tone.
"Why are you telling me? If you hadn't smiled at me in the morning, I wouldn't have guessed that you were behind it...... It's too late for me to guess! Van Lentin asked.
"Because I'm going to make a deal with you." Shen Yan replied slowly.
"Deal? Hum! The most important thing I should do now is to kill you and avenge King Bari!" Fan Lenting said fiercely.
"You should understand that the killer is nothing more than a knife in someone else's hand, and you should go to the person who holds the knife." Shen Yan didn't care, saying the reason why no one believed it. "Besides, if you really want to avenge King Barry, you won't come to me alone."
……
"What deal?" Fan Lentin asked after a moment of silence.
"I told who hired us to organize the killing, and you answered me for a small matter in exchange for the female assassin who entered the palace a while ago, and I want to know all the information you have found about her." Looking at Fan Lunting's puzzled eyes, Shen Yan directly revealed his shortcomings and said, "It's okay to tell you, originally this list involves the current political situation, and our organization doesn't plan to take it."
Because no matter what we do, it will be Stormwind's Shovarier who will benefit in the end...... He didn't give us any money!
But that girl was the elimination member of our organization, and she happened to hear the news and stole the materials. Tried to prove himself by completing this order alone, and ended up like you know, failed...... In order to maintain the reputation of the organization, we had to continue to complete this order.
And, clean up the traitors! ”
Fan Lenting knew that Shen Yan was not lying, and his words also made him vaguely see a cold and huge organization, which hid in the dark and did not hesitate to assassinate the king of a country in order to maintain his reputation! No mercy to the betrayer......
As for the betrayal, it did not lower his opinion of the "hospital" organization. No secret organization can avoid betrayal, because there are too many reasons for betrayal...... The key is how to deal with it.
"Isn't it against the principles of your organization to sell your employer?"
"He's no longer an employer after the deal is done, and we wouldn't normally do that. Who let this affect the image of the organization? Now we're going to clean up all traces and knowers, and then when it never happened. ”
"Insider...... Including me? Fan Lentin asked vigilantly.
"Including you, of course!" Shen Yan nodded honestly and sincerely, but he added, "But you are a professional and a person who needs the organization, so we also provide another set of solutions." Shen Yan took out a platinum ring and held it in his hand to play with it. Join us and you'll have access to one of the safest shelters in the world, a safe place to retire, and never worry about what will happen to you when you get old.
As for other benefits, they can be exchanged for meritorious service...... We'll talk about this when you agree to join us. ”
"Okay...... Tell my employer. Van Lentin nodded.
"The Great Prince." Shen Yan not only said the name, but also took out a contract written in black and white, on which was signed the elf name that the eldest prince had given him. Fan Lunting knew that this was a murder with a knife, but he still did not refuse to be a master of playing conspiracy, of course he knew that the eldest prince could be the murderer, but the murderer was not necessarily the eldest prince...... Who said the murderer can only be one person? Maybe each of the four princes has placed an order for the "hospital"!
In this case, he still intends to obey the other party's will and kill the eldest prince...... Because it was a test of his qualifications to join the "hospital".
The last time he wielded this knife, he swung it for himself! As for whether the eldest prince is a murderer, does it matter? Like his loyalty to King Barry.
How can there be absolute loyalty in the world, and loyalty that cannot be reciprocated is a joke.
"I'll send you the information you want in a moment. One last question," Fan Lentin thought for a moment, or asked, "what position do you hold in the hospital organization?" Can I know your real name? ”
Fan Lenting still had doubts in his heart, because the "hospital" organization he saw through Shen Yan's shadow was so huge and thick that it was terrifying! From another point of view, he, the leader of the secret agents who controls a kingdom, even knows a lot of secrets of the Divine Court, but he doesn't know anything about this organization. This is no longer fantasy, but fantasy...... He couldn't believe that such a thing existed in the world.
"Because I'm from another world, our organization is just starting to reach out in this world. As for the name...... I have long forgotten my name, and I am just an ordinary member of the organization. Shen Yan's answer was unexpected by Fan Lenting, not in this world? You're kidding?
"If you have to have a name...... My organization's code name is 47, but they all call me the bald Take. ”
Shen Yan left, pushed the wheelchair by himself, and left slowly.
Before leaving, he flicked his fingers and flicked the platinum ring at Fan Lentin with his back, and the spy leader reached out to catch it.
The autumn wind and fallen leaves, the mossy alleys, and the two people who are drifting away.
A few days later, the secret spy organization of the Upper Penglin Kingdom suddenly raided the Great Prince's Mansion under the leadership of Fan Lenting, killing everyone except the elves!
At this time, everyone figured out that the person who plotted to assassinate the king turned out to be the eldest prince! Well, no one believed that he was wronged, not even those who were slaughtered. Even the eldest prince was thinking before he died, how did I expose myself?
Fan Lenting's image of a loyal dog is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whoever he bites, the man can't even argue. However, the spy group also suffered heavy losses in this raid, losing about half of its armed forces.
And their spiritual core, the gloomy spy leader Van Lentin, disappeared after this operation. Some say he died, but many more people saw him spinning a ring in front of the Grand Prince's body and leaving in the white light.
No one knows where he went.
Under the witness of the gods and the support of the great nobles, the second prince officially ascended the throne as the new king of Upper Penlin and possibly the last king of Upper Penlin.
Because King Barry died suddenly, he did not know the dealings of the house of Ahibon with the gods, the gods...... Naturally, I chose to forget it completely. Now there is only one last thing left that requires the cooperation of the Ahibon family, and it is not a big deal to let Xiuvarie spend more force to occupy Upper Penrien, is it not much better than paying a subordinate position?
Dominic was personally promoted by the god of the hills, but the king of the hills fell into the hands of Dominic; Asa Constance was personally promoted by Dominic to serve God, and now Dominic has been stripped of everything by Asa and imprisoned.
There are so many "jewels and jades in front", no matter how stupid people are, it is time to wake up, which god is not cautious before promoting from God? Even consider this a taboo!
Because you never know who the monkey is, and if you don't have a big ambition, maybe give it a pole and it will climb on top of you. The best thing to do is not to kill him when he finds out he's a monkey, but to keep anyone out of a chance to touch the pole. The promise of the gods is just a carrot hanging in front of the Ahibon family, their family has no foundation in the divine court, who will fight the gods for them? Now that the thing has been done and the creditor is gone, it's the best of both worlds.
Van Lentin quietly left, then appeared in a room in the white light.
He stood in the middle of the house, looking at everything around him in amazement. It was a room made entirely of "bronze", perhaps buried deep underground, or hidden in an unknown area, Fan Lenting couldn't guess.
Because although the room is spacious, the basic utensils are complete, there is a lot of food, and there is even a pipe on the wall that can gush out the spring water when you twist it...... But the only thing missing in this room is doors and windows!
It's really safe.
Van Lentin was finally convinced that he was safe...... From the sound of percussion, you can know the thickness of the copper wall, at least ten meters or more! Such a room, even if he knew the place, and then gathered all the peak masters of Peng Lin, he would not be able to break it!
The only inconvenience is that this room can only be accessed through the ring, which can be used once a month, and requires the consumption of something called "points". The points pre-deposited to him are only enough for two or three times.
Such a claustrophobic house is indeed safe, but it can only be used for evacuation, and people who live here all the time will go crazy.
This is forcing him to leave to earn points...... As for how to earn "points", he found a list on the table, and the first item was "Go to a village to be a teacher and teach and train new secret ......"
"I knew that," he said with a wry smile.
In the inner ring of the ring, the number "97" is engraved.
The number is within the hundreds, and that's the only thing Van Lentin is happy with.
