After half-truths about the cause of the incident, Al made his own request: he hoped that the National Police Agency would be present during the investigation. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Director Scott also fully understands this small request of Marquis Al Edward, after all, this noble young master is eager for revenge.

After dealing with Director Scott, Al turned his attention to Duke Leonard, "Your Excellency, I heard that when you led your troops into Hawley, you found that the soldiers guarding the city gate had been killed?"

Lord Duke nodded, "That's true. ”

"I wonder if you can let me see the corpse?"

The Duke gave Al a strange look, not knowing what he had in mind, "Originally, these corpses were to be handed over to the National Police Agency for investigation, and Lord Edward had no choice but to see them. ”

"Thank you, then, sir. As he spoke, he walked up to Aaron and instructed him, Aaron looked surprised, "Are you really going there?"

"Don't worry, there are my acquaintances there, and they will take you in. ", Al assured.

After saying goodbye to Duke Leonard, Aaron left in a hurry.

"It seems that His Excellency the Marquis has a good relationship with Aaron, and this kid has never mentioned it to me. Leonard said meaningfully as he looked at Aaron's back as he left.

"Mr. Aaron is a good man, and it is an honor to be his friend. Al laughed, "This mansion has been destroyed, and there is no one to live in anymore, and some of my family members have entrusted it to Mr. Aaron, and it is really embarrassing to always cause trouble for him." ”

"There's something to be gained in this kid. The Duke agreed, and if anyone heard it, they would be surprised, when would Duke Leonard, who had always been known for his old-fashioned and stern, praise people like this? It seems that because of Aaron's relationship, the relationship between the two nobles has become slightly closer, but because of the particularity of Leonard's status as a duke, the two still maintain an obvious sense of estrangement.

The Duke went to the palace to meet Grievous the Great, and he led his army into the city, although there were good reasons, but he always had to explain it, and Al went straight to the city gates, led by the chief of staff.

Along the way, Al and the chief of staff also opened up a conversation, this chief of staff of the city guard has the unique boldness and straightness of a soldier, as well as a big mouth that is rare for ordinary soldiers, but after a while, Al even knows about the three generations of the chief of staff.

Al also learned the name of the chief of staff: Pierre Augero, a nobleman who graduated from the St. Teresa Military Academy, known as the "Cradle of Generals", can be said to be a typical high-ranking general of the kingdom with orthodox and good roots.

"So you're the son of Saran Aurora, oh, by the way, you should call her Lady Saran Edward now. ”

"What, you know my mother?", Al was a little surprised, his mother was also from a civilian background, and he didn't expect to meet this noble general.

"She and I both graduated from the St. Teresa Military Academy, and we are the same students. Back then, your mother was very famous in the academy, although she was a commoner, but she had a backbone, and she also slapped a noble young master, when we talked about her in private, many people still admired her. However, because of this incident, she was unable to stay in Shenghui City and was sent to the West. ", Ogeero said regretfully.

"It seems that Mother must have been very popular in the academy back then, and I guess there were quite a few suitors," Al said jokingly.

Ogero laughed, "There are some who are famous, but there are few suitors, after all, we were all young people with strong blood at the time, and the most important thing in chasing women is to see if she is good-looking, what does Sharan say, she does look relatively ordinary." ”

Al smiled slightly, and did not think that he was wrong, indeed Lady Sharan Edward was not the kind of beauty at first sight, her charm was like a lilac, which was not very eye-catching, but the longer we got along, the more I would like that faint fragrance.

However, Ogereau's next sentence made Al almost fall off the horse, "But I pursued Sharan for a while, and I pestered her for a long time, and I almost made it." ”

Did Al really kneel down to this gentleman, when he didn't exist?

It's just that he still underestimated the degree of this outspoken person, and the next sentence of Augero was even more lethal, "It's a pity that due to the opposition of my family, this relationship didn't work out, otherwise Your Excellency Al, you are my son." ”

Thankfully, they were riding on horseback, which saved Al from suffering any more damage. By the time he said this, the two had already reached the city gate, and Augero had finally closed his mouth, and Al was very suspicious that this man who had lived so long and had not been killed was also a special gift from the gods.

With the Chief of Staff leading the way, Al was able to see the corpses without incident, and the wounds were half-solidified after a certain amount of time. Some of the corpses had messy wounds, but after Al examined them, he found that all the corpses had fatal wounds, most of them were swords in the heart, or stabbed through them with knives, and one or two had their throats slit, and the techniques were clean and unusually ruthless.

All the soldiers were fatal in one move, and they did not die of serious injuries or excessive bleeding, and the military doctor who accompanied them also made a positive conclusion.

At the same time, Al also noticed something unusual, the fatal wounds of these corpses had a large number of upward and downward blood marks, which was very unusual, and the direction of the blood marks near such wounds should be along the direction of the wound.

The soldiers were armed with steel knives, and Al broke their palms open, revealing that they were long knives of the old style, with somewhat well-maintained blades, but also stained with rust. It's just that the handle of the knife is a little unpresentable, not only is there no wrap, but the handle itself is also pitted, and it is very uncomfortable to hold in the hand.

Al took it and waved it twice, it was so uncomfortable that it was hard to imagine how he could fight with such a weapon.

Chief of Staff Ogereau leaned over to take a look at it and snorted, "These weapons are all obsolete from a few years ago, and they are still using them, and it seems that their commander is also a moth who is full of selfishness." ”

Al was taken aback when he heard this, "Aren't these guards under the jurisdiction of the city guards?"

"How is it possible, how could those noble lords hand over the lifeblood of Hawley District to the city guards, the rules that have been set a long time ago, this door that is not used on weekdays, and several other secret doors, the gatekeepers are all appointed by the Elders. Obviously, there are few people, but they always apply for military spending for various reasons every year, and they have long become the money bags of some nobles. Augero said indignantly, not caring that he himself was one of the "noble lords" in his mouth.
