"Hello, Captain Andrews!" Diego nodded at the man, and went under another umbrella that had been prepared for him.

Diego took off his blazer, unbuttoned his tie and relaxed, and sat down on the chaise longue.

Behind Andrews, a servant came over with a cart of food.

"Oh! What's so delicious about that? Diego asked curiously.

"These are snacks made by the chef of the former Governor." "He's heard you've brought a cook, too, so he wants to prove himself." ”

Diego nodded, motioning for the servant to push the cart of snacks over.

At that moment, a small figure suddenly burst out of the bushes on the side. She ran very fast, didn't look at the road ahead, and hit the cart impartially.

Crash! Syllable! The cart fell, and the plates of delicate snacks fell to the ground, and the plates were shattered.

"What's going on?" Andrews took a small step back in surprise, then looked at the young figure and asked, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”

The little girl fell to the ground, crying profusely, and there was no way to answer Andrews's words.

"This is the granddaughter of Joaquín, my butler," said Diego, "and I let him take it with me, and this poor girl has no parents and her only relatives are her grandfather." ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Governor." Andrews said respectfully to Diego, "It's a pity that there are so many delicious foods. ”

Diego smiled and said, "Look, it's not wasted, is it?" ”

I saw a flock of pigeons flying from nowhere, flying to these snacks scattered on the ground, happily eating the food on the ground.

"Lily, are you hurt?" Joaquín, the old butler, hurriedly ran over and helped the crying little girl up.

The girl's cry was a little quieter and she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, young master!" Joaquin kept bending down and saluting. For fear that the owner would be angry because of this.

"It's okay, Joaquin. Little girls are meant to be lively, aren't they? Besides, there are no children of the same age playing in the estate. Next time, let her be careful, don't bump into others and don't hurt herself. ”

"Yes, young master! Your forbearance is like a gift from God! Joaquín almost knelt down and kissed Diego's shoes.

At this moment, the little girl Lily suddenly screamed, attracting the attention of the people in the garden.

"What's wrong?" Joaquin hurriedly hugged his granddaughter, fearing that she would disturb his master's rest.

The little girl's finger pointed to the ground. Looking in the direction she was pointing, she saw that the pigeons, which had been eating the food on the ground, had fallen to the ground one by one, their feet twitching. Foaming at the mouth.

"What's wrong with them?" Diego looked at the pigeon with a puzzled expression, then at Andrews, and asked, "Indigestion?" ”

Andrews had a long mouth, unable to speak for a long time, and the clothes behind his back were completely drenched with sweat.

"Hahaha!" Andreina laughed and clapped her hands and said, "That's funny! Captain Andrews, you should look at your expression! Hahaha! ”

Andrews's face turned pale. A little stammered, "That...... That's the old cook...... He did it, I don't know ......."

Diego didn't speak, and Andreina's laughter came again. "You idiot! Hahaha! I love seeing you rigid soldiers like that! ”

Andrea's ridicule made Andrews' company even more iron-clad.

"Captain Andrews, I'd better explain what's going on here." Diego de la Vega said with a straight face. "It was a premeditated murder, and I think you can inform General Wild and the Chief of Police."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Andrews panicked and pulled out the intercom and whispered a few words.

Less than ten minutes. General Wild and the police chief were found in the back garden of the de la Vega estate.

"I'm sorry, Governor!" The police chief said as he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "I was just talking to General Wild about suppressing the riots in the slums, and I didn't expect this to happen."

"This is also my negligence, Lord Governor." Wilde looked at the dead pigeons on the ground with a pair of eyes and squinted at Diego.

"I think it's important for us to have a good discussion about my security, Mr. Chief of Police. I'm not worried about the slums, at least they won't rush to my estate, will they? But what is in front of you is naked murder, and it is the murder of the governor of a planet! Diego's tone became more and more intense, "Mr. Wilde, can you explain why this happened to me on my first day in office?" ”

"Lord Governor, I believe Captain Andrews ......," Wild said unhurriedly.

Diego interrupted Wild's words and said even more angrily, "This Captain Andrews didn't even notice it, and he personally brought those things. ”

Wilde looked at Andrews with a gloomy face, and then said, "Lord Governor, what do you want to do?" ”

Diego calmed down, took a sip of water, and said, "I hope to be able to keep me safe, but I can't trust the local army and police. I was assassinated on my first day in office, and my God, my poor uncle's death must have had something to do with it. I'd like to be able to get to the bottom of this. ”

"Yes, Lord Governor, I will send my best agent." said the police chief.

"And the most loyal!" Diego added, "In addition, I want all the security guards sent by the army to leave my estate, and I can only trust the servants and bodyguards I have brought." As he spoke, Diego looked back at Andrena, who was watching the play with relish, and said, "Of course, my aunt." ”

Andreina smiled, and the beautiful eyelashes blinked in return.

"This ......," Wild hesitated.

"What? Isn't it okay? ”

"No, it's just that we're also responsible for your safety, Your Excellency the Governor. If all my soldiers are withdrawn......"

"Then leave a group at the door. I hope that in the future only those with my consent will be allowed to enter my estate. Diego looked at Wild, who had always looked bad, and said, "My bodyguards are the most loyal in the family, and they are fully capable of keeping me safe. Of course, it's not for anyone, but I think I'll feel more at ease that way. ”

"Then do as you wish, my lord!" Wilde saluted the Governor and said, "I will leave the soldiers to look after your estate, but they will only be at the gate to prevent suspicious people from entering. ”

"Well, thank you, General Wild." After Diego finished speaking to Wild, he turned to the police chief and said, "I hope to find out the cause of my uncle's death as soon as possible." Poor uncle must have killed someone! Oh, my God! If this matter is reported to the family or the Federation, I think you, the police chief, should ......."

The police chief shuddered, he naturally knew the importance of this matter, and gave a military salute with a big belly, and said: "Your Excellency Governor, don't worry, I will definitely do my best!" ”

"I hope so! Well, let me be quiet! A good afternoon tea is ruined! Diego collapsed on the recliner as if he were weak.

Seeing this, the police chief and Wilde did not hesitate, saluted Diego and left. As for the analysis and sampling of those poisonous foods and the exploration of crime scenes, they had already been done by the time they spoke.

Seeing the sun gradually set, Diego, who was lying on the chaise longue, turned his back, gave Andreina a back, and gave a thumbs up to Joaquín, the old butler standing on the side.

"Dead boy, the acting skills are really good!"

"It's not like you're an old man who teaches well!"

"What's next?"

"Let's see, the situation on this planet is unknown, and the death of the previous governor is also very strange. Maybe we can use this thread to turn the planet upside down, and the information we need will naturally be in hand. ”

"Okay, then I'll see what you're capable of." Joaquín had a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Diego turned around again, lit a cigarette on his back, and then carefully counted it on his aunt Andrena, who was not far away. (To be continued.) )
