At 8:05 p.m., twenty-five minutes before the execution. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Martin pressed the cigarette butt to the windowsill and extinguished it, looking down at his watch. There is still plenty of time, but after tonight, there is no longer a good buddy named Lao Hong in the manor.

For a while, Martin was a little sad.

Even so, Martin did not blame Director Pierre. He knew how much pressure Director Pierre had been under over the years, and that it was a matter of desperation to make such a decision.

If it were him, I guess he would have made the same choice.

Since beating the three boys and retracting their confessions, the police force has stopped the intrigue for the first time, and united as one to put pressure on Director Pierre, demanding a thorough investigation of the case, severe punishment of the murderer, and justice for the children.

It was these police officers who relied on the chief to control the estate, as evidenced by the mutiny of Grant's butler.

No matter how the survivors are used, the only people Pierre truly believes in and values are these policemen.

Wanting to stay in control of the manor, live his kingly life, and appease his men is far more important than dealing with a few errant children.

But even so, Pierre still didn't make a decision.

This feeling of being by someone made Pierre extremely unhappy, especially seeing the uncontrollability of his subordinates, which made Pierre angry and a little uneasy.

After several meetings with Lao Hong, Pierre heard some speculations from him, some very bold speculations.

In the absence of any evidence, Pierre could not do anything even if he believed Lao Hong. However, what is certain is that someone must be behind this, there is no doubt about it.

But to find out who this person is, and whether he is the object of Lao Hong's suspicions, it will definitely not be enough for a few days.

Since the other party dares to sprinkle sand in his eyes, he must be fully prepared and will not let people find him easily.

Even if they are lucky enough to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe the other party will directly fight to the death after feeling the danger and launch a rebellion.

Any attempt to put oneself at risk is undesirable and must be avoided.

If Pierre was a poor bastard with nothing, he would naturally not think about it so much, but he had too many things, and his worries were naturally several times that of a normal person.

The mastermind behind this must be found, but not now.

It seems to be the easiest and safest way to sacrifice Lao Hong in exchange for a moment of peace, but like this, Pierre really can't swallow this breath like a man behind the scenes.

And Lao Hong is a subordinate he admires very much, there are not many people in the manor who have good brains and are willing to work hard, Lao Hong is one of them.

A decision to cut off his arm, how could Pierre be so happy.

Pierre finally tried to defy the crowd, and under intense pressure from his men, decided to postpone the real trial until the boy woke up.

This was Pierre's last chance for Lao Hong.

The boy had been unconscious since he was shot, and even though the other three children were bewitched by others, no one could confess to the unconscious children.

Pierre was ready to interrogate the boy as soon as he woke up, and as long as his testimony was different from the others, Lao Hong's life would be saved.

In order to prevent accidents, Pierre placed heavy guards in the infirmary.

Unfortunately, the boy did not wake up and left this world forever.

The moment he stopped breathing, Lao Hong's fate was almost decided.

The death of another child deeply irritated the nerves in the policeman's mind, and the situation became even more out of control.

Martin received various requests from his men to speak for the dead children and for everyone.

From the beginning, Martin was silent about the matter, which was the only thing he could do as a big brother.

Until the end, Martin was never involved in the incident.

Lao Hong has iced on the cake for him, he can't send charcoal in the snow, at least he can't fall into the well.

Martin knows that there will be a lot of people in the police force who are dissatisfied with him by doing this, but who cares, go to TMD.

Compared to Martin, Director Pierre is one head and two years old.

The day after the boy's death, the police began a sit-in in front of Pierre's door, especially the two families who lost their children, and wept outside the door all day.

There seems to be no other option than to 'bring Lao Hong to justice'.

Pierre knows very well that the reason why this incident has evolved to such a serious point is that in addition to someone behind the scenes, the conflict between forces within the manor is also a very key reason.

The Force is usually divided into several small factions, which are harmonious on the surface but secretly compete with each other, which is something that Pierre likes to see.

However, once they encounter a threat from other forces, they will unite closely to defend their collective interests, which is not difficult to see from this incident.

Two children may have died today, but will it be the two policemen who are designed to be killed tomorrow? Or even more?

There were already various contradictions between the police force and the survivors, and Pierre later began to use survivors on a large scale, which further caused tensions between the two.

As one of the representatives of the new forces of the survivors, Lao Hong naturally became the victim of the first conflict between the two forces.

In fact, these policemen don't care whether Lao Hong is a murderer or not, they just want to use Lao Hong's death to declare their status unshakable again.

As for Lao Hong and their past relationship, they have long forgotten about it.

Pierre knew exactly what was going on, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He asked Brooke, Martin, and Baker for their opinions, and Brooke thought that it was important to focus on the overall situation, and it didn't matter who the murderer was, and he agreed to sacrifice Lao Hong; Martin was silent for a long time, and finally obeyed the director's decision; As for Old Baker, he wanted to compromise as much as possible, so that the resentment of the police officers could be calmed down without sacrificing the innocent.

Pierre ordered the three men to leave the room, leaving him and Lily alone.

Pierre smoked his cigar numbly, his brow furrowed all the time, and the smoke consumed his whole body.

Lily didn't say a word to him, just stood quietly behind her, rubbing her temples lightly for him.

“Lily...”

"Huh?" Lily stopped what she was doing.

"What do you think?"

"I never thought that Lao Hong would die. However, this world is inherently absurd and ridiculous..."

"Hmm... Go and tell them for me, and the execution will be carried out in two days. ”

Pierre's brow finally relaxed, and it was probably the most relaxed moment he had in the morning.

(To be done!) ）
