Chapter 196: The Castle 7
Fat Bear continued: "This ionic powder was found by me under the statue of the castle in the afternoon. I was surprised at the time, because this thing was used by our ancestors to summon spirits, and I didn't know why it was here. β
"Fatty, you already noticed that something was wrong!" Zheng Tian was surprised.
Fat Bear nodded and continued: "Yes, I deliberately kept this matter a secret, just to wait and see. It wasn't until tonight that Four-Eyed told me that I saw Kolinev's ghost, and I realized that someone was deliberately trying to use the ghost to create a riot and then take advantage of the chaos to steal the Soul Map. So I'm going to do what I want, and I deliberately put on a dojo to try to lure that person to show up. β
I gave the fat bear a thumbs up: "Awesome, so you still have such a hand." β
"That can't! Fat man, I'm a Flying Bear Daoist! Don't you have two brushes that dare to go it alone? After speaking, the fat bear looked at Virgo: "But I didn't expect your kid to run so fast, the front foot is still in the garden, and the back foot is running up to the study." β
"You came to the study to steal a painting, right?" I looked at Virgo and said.
Virgo's expression was a little flustered, but he still refused to admit it, and he insisted that he had never been in the garden, and that he had been sitting in the study, waiting for Daria to come and discuss the inheritance with her. As for the "Soul Map", he didn't know it was hidden here.
At this time, the fat bear suddenly walked up to his side and turned his jacket pocket over, and there was a lot of blue powder left in it:
"Still want to deny it?"
Virgo pushed the bear away, straightened his clothes, and told us that it was indeed his, but that he wasn't here to steal the painting.
It's all hammered and you still want to deny it?
I sneered: "How did Kolinev die, you don't know it, do you?" β
Daria became emotional, and she looked at Virgo with sharp eyes: "I've always wondered why all the surveillance and defense systems on the night my father was killed were out of order, because only those with security clearances could turn them off. You did itβyou betrayed the Brotherhood! β
Virgo was furious when he heard this, and he slapped the table hard, saying that Daria was framing him.
At this time, Ivan, the butler on the side, spoke, saying that Virgo had many bad debts in the Brotherhood in recent years, and had embezzled the funds in the Brotherhood many times, and said that he had met Virto secretly with the Black Thorns.
When Virgo heard this, his expression became even more flustered. As soon as he shoved Daria away, he was about to run outside. Ivan immediately ordered his bodyguards to take him down, but Virgo still roared that he had not defected, and that we had deliberately joined forces to kill him. Daria immediately slapped her and had her bodyguards escort him to the basement of the castle.
Then Daria angrily said that she would report Virgo's crime to the meeting of elders of the brotherhood, and then the elders of the church would conduct a public trial, and that the wicked man must not go unpunished, and the public trial will be scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
I asked Daria if she could let us go during the trial, and I wanted to meet with the elders in the congregation to see if anyone knew anything about Uncle Dao, and Daria readily agreed.
The fat bear touched the buttocks of the arrow, and pitifully asked Dalia for an extra reward, and Dalia immediately agreed, and asked the family doctor to treat the fat bear with the arrow.
This time, he was able to catch the inner ghost of the brotherhood, and the fat bear contributed a lot. I didn't expect this fat man to be so effective at a critical time, and he knows a lot, and he even knows the way the ancestor summons spirits, and it seems that I will have to ask him for more advice in the future.
After the matter had calmed down for a while, I walked alone to the garden, and it was ten o'clock in the evening. I looked up at the sky, and the crescent moon had turned round.
I took a sharp puff of my cigarette and didn't say anything all night.
The next morning, I thought about it and felt that this Virgo had close contact with Uncle Dao, so I wanted to talk to him alone before he was put on trial, hoping to pry a little bit of Uncle Dao's news out of his mouth, although I was worried that he would not cooperate, but it was always right to try. After obtaining Daria's permission, Wei Yin and I went to the basement, and Yang Wen accompanied us as a translator.
The basement of the castle is cold and dark, with a medieval atmosphere.
When Virgo saw us Chinese coming, he was very emotional, and he kept cursing foul words.
I motioned for him to calm down, and then took out Uncle Dao's photo to show him. Strangely, Virgo stopped cursing when he saw the picture of my Uncle Dao and looked at us with a complicated expression.
"Do you know him?" I asked Yang Wen to translate.
Virgo's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he told us that "Dao" was his good friend, and asked us what our relationship was with "Dao", and I said in my heart that it was unlucky for him to have a friend like you.
I revealed my identity and hoped that he could provide some clues about Uncle Dao, but Virgo always said that he was wronged, that he had never betrayed the Brotherhood, and that he had never said anything about Uncle Dao.
Wei Yin was in a hurry, went up and grabbed him by the collar, and asked him not to waste our time, and if there is news about his father and Uncle Dao, he must tell it.
Virgo didn't buy her account at all, he tilted his head to the side and was silent.
I pulled Wei Yin away, changed my tone to a relatively gentle tone, and told Virgo that Uncle Dao had brought us from China, and now that he is missing, we are very worried, and if he is still a friend of Uncle Dao, please tell us about Uncle Dao's situation.
Virgo remained unmoved, ignoring me.
Thinking about it, I am also naΓ―ve, the reason why the addresses of Uncle Dao and Dean Wei were exposed is probably the secret that this so-called "friend" Virgo told to Black Thorn, how can I pry the clues of Uncle Dao out of his mouth now?
I glanced at him, grabbed Wei Yin and prepared to leave. Just as I turned around, Virgo suddenly spoke something in Russian, and I asked Yang Wen what this meant, and Yang Wen translated: "You are all accomplices." β
In the afternoon, the Brotherhood's Council of Elders was held in a business building in the center of Moscow.
We went to the meeting place in the same car as Daria, with Sergey, the captain of the guard, escorting Virgo in another car, and Ivan, the butler, staying at the castle.
After entering the venue, the image of the delegates changed my traditional perception of gangsters, they are all in suits and leather shoes, with extraordinary temperament, as if they are the leaders of the social elite, and I think these gangsters have almost been whitewashed.
At the congress, Dalia commissioned Sergei to list Virgo's crimes: betrayal of the Brotherhood, defection to the Black Thorn, murder of Kolinev, embezzlement of public funds......
Each one was enough to send Virgo to hell.
