When he looked at the pendant in his hand, Karina, who was lying in Kaplan's arms, woke up, she rubbed her eyes, and saw that the two of them were intertwined and did not panic, but her cheeks became rosy, and she sat up and asked, "Young Master, is something wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just confirming an idea!" Kaplan said excitedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After info finished speaking, he picked up Karina's face and kissed her lips!

Holding the pendant of the necklace firmly to "save progress" was only Kaplan's own guess, and this morning was the first time he had actively stored it. Now that this suspicion has been confirmed, Kaplan will be able to put this ability to good use with peace of mind.

Hearing footsteps, Kaplan let go of Karina, who was breathing heavily. He turned his head to look, only to realize that it was his personal maid who had brought in the clothes.

"Put your clothes aside, I'll get up later." Kaplan said, hugging Karina. He knew that Crook would be late, so he would be stupid to go to the council chamber to sit down.

Lilia put her clothes on the chair next to her and boldly persuaded, "Master Kaplan, Old Man Zack asked you to go to the council hall right away." ”

Waving his hand, Kaplan said indifferently: "Anyway, it's not me who is late, let him wait." ”

Although she didn't understand how her young master knew that there were other people who would be late, Lilia had fulfilled her obligation to remind her and didn't dare to say anything more.

Just as she was about to leave, Kaplan suddenly said, "Wait a minute. ”

"Master Kaplan, what do you command?" Lilia asked, turning around and with a hint of nervousness. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Is it finally going to attack herself?

Although she had just been redeployed, she had heard a lot of rumors about Kaplan. Among them, Lilia is most frightened by the rumors that Kaplan is lustful and abuses women.

It's a pity that Lilia can't make her own decisions about who she serves, and she was already ready to come when she was assigned.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten days of getting along, she found that Kaplan was surprisingly kind and didn't seem to mean to harm her.

Just when she thought that the rumors were wrong, Master Kaplan finally revealed his true nature: he had robbed a woman yesterday afternoon, and he hadn't been out of the room since!

Lilia was worried that she was also taken a fancy to, but unfortunately she was just a bought maid who couldn't even escape!

Kaplan didn't know what Lilia was thinking, so he just touched Karina's head and said, "I haven't introduced her to you yet, have I? Then you can go out and don't let anyone bother me without my orders. ”

"Got it, Master Kaplan. Lilia immediately turned and left. She guessed what was going to happen next, and she didn't dare to stay.

Karina was confused, and was still persuading at this time: "Young master, since you have something, you better hurry up." ”

Kaplan smiled and said, "Don't worry. I know what's going on, and I know someone who goes late. ”

Seeing that Kaplan was so sure, Karina herself would not doubt it. She tried to say something, but her lips were gagged again, and Kaplan threw herself on the bed.

Crook walked into the council chamber and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

The third young master, Liddell, immediately sarcastically said, "You are indeed late, and your shelf is really big." ”

"It's not too late, isn't there anyone else who hasn't arrived?" Zach's son interjected to defend Crook. It's not that he has a good relationship with Crook, it's just that he takes the opportunity to express his displeasure with someone.

Crook felt bad in his heart, and looked at the council chamber, and realized that Kaplan hadn't come! The reason why he came late was because he wanted to sit next to Kaplan.

If you don't sit next to Kaplan, how can you find an opportunity to drug Kaplan?

After learning that the eldest young master was missing and that his horse had been killed, Crook was a little suspicious of Kaplan: the smell of blood in Kaplan's carriage yesterday was one thing, and Eric, who was next to Kaplan, was too flustered when talking to him.

You must know that on weekdays, Eric relies on Kaplan's favor to show off his power in front of Crook.

However, that was only Crook's own speculation, and it was impossible to search Kaplan's residence. After all, Stonier and Kaplan usually have a good relationship, and on the surface, I don't see any reason for Kaplan to do it. In addition, Stoner is a junior swordsman, not something that Kaplan and Eric can deal with.

But what if the real Kaplan attacked? Crook was also unwilling to give up the opportunity to defeat Kaplan: Kaplan and he had never had much in touch with him, and he took the initiative to show favor to him half a month ago. But when they met yesterday, he felt Kaplan's faint murderous intent towards him!--Kaplan couldn't control his emotions in his excitement.

Although Crook is trusted by Gleason, Kaplan is the patriarch's favorite son, and it is definitely not a good thing to be targeted by Kaplan.

So, Crook came up with the idea of using a truth potion. If Kaplan confessed in front of everyone that he had something to do with Stoner's disappearance, then his father would not spare him, no matter how much he loved him. In case even if you think too much, as long as you remove the effect of the drug in time after the questioning, no one will find anything.

But what he didn't expect was that his plan ran into a problem from the beginning, if he couldn't sit with Kaplan, where would he have the chance to get the drug?

"Crook, sit down first. Acting Patriarch Zach asked him, "Did you find any clues?"

Finding a random place where no one was around and sitting down, Crook shook his head and replied, "Yesterday morning, the eldest young master went to Maple Leaf City to attend the engagement ceremony of Young Master Kaplan, and returned to the villa once after the noon banquet was canceled, but immediately went to the camp of the city guards. And after that, all the guards in the villa didn't see the eldest young master, and obviously the eldest young master didn't come back. In addition, since Master Stonier did not bring his personal guard yesterday, no one knows his specific whereabouts. ”

The second young master, Skoll, who was originally reading a book, raised his head and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?

Zach explained, "That's why I called everybody. No one had seen Stoner return to the cottage since the previous evening, but the guards said he had returned before dinner. ”

Kaplan's third brother, Liddell, said nonchalantly: "Maybe the eldest brother is hiding somewhere to cultivate, right? Isn't this common in the past? Now it's only been one night, so there's no need to be so nervous." ”

"This time it's different. Zach said worriedly, "Yesterday evening, the corpse of Stonier's horse was accidentally discovered by the city guards. The war horse was hacked to death, so I can't help but worry. ”

"Could it be that the eldest brother killed the horse himself?" suddenly came from the door, and it was Kaplan who arrived.

"Why did Stonier kill his own horse, and even if he did, would he have tied it to a stone and sunk it into the river?" Zach said angrily, "Kaplan, not only are you late, but you dare to talk nonsense!"

"I don't know what's going on at the scene, but I'm just saying a possibility. Kaplan yawned and sat down "casually."

Once Kaplan was seated, he took the cup on the table and poured himself a cup of coffee.

Crook didn't expect Kaplan to sit next to him by himself, so there was another opportunity to use the truth elixir. However, looking at Kaplan's overworked appearance, Crook couldn't help but feel that he might really be thinking too much: does this kind of lustful waste really have the guts to attack his big brother?

Kaplan's fifth brother, Stephen, shouted at this time: "Since the eldest brother is gone, why don't we hurry up and look for it? It is a waste of time to stay here." ”

With that, Stephen stood up and wanted to go out.

"Stop!" Zach quickly stopped Stephen and asked, "Do you know where to find your eldest brother?"

The next development was similar to what Kaplan remembered, and Kaplan had already dispelled the idea of the second brother Scoll continuing to go to Maple Leaf City.

"Well, looks like you'd love to stay in the lodge. You're so weak, I'm afraid you'll be blown away by a strong wind as soon as you go out, right?" Cousin Klatt still sarcastically said in a weird voice, but his sarcastic words changed a little. Maybe it's because Kaplan's morning exercise is too hard and he looks very tired.

Kaplan was also not angry and said, "Thank you for the reminder. My body is a little too weak, I'll be exercising a little bit lately. ”

Klatt was Kaplan's "former" comrade-in-arms, and Kaplan naturally didn't take his little sarcasm to heart. Klatt was stunned by Kaplan's answer, and couldn't speak anymore for a while.

Kaplan yawned, picked up his coffee and took another sip. - Under his attention, he had already noticed that Crook had flicked some powder into the coffee cup with his fingers.

Crook was a mid-level knight, and his movements were so fast and stealthy that no one noticed him except Kaplan, who knew he would do it. Even if anyone found out, they would only think that Crook had bounced off the dirt on his cup.

After Kaplan drank the coffee with the ingredients, Crook asked as expected, "Young Master Kaplan, do you know the whereabouts of the eldest young master?"

Kaplan asked with a surprised expression, "How do I know where Big Brother is?" What do you mean by asking me that?"

"Isn't the eldest young master the best relationship with Young Master Kaplan? I thought he might tell you about his itinerary. Crook replied, his suspicion of Kaplan completely gone. While answering, he flicked some powder again in Kaplan's cup.

In order to reassure him, Kaplan immediately took another sip of coffee and said, "I didn't even talk to my eldest brother yesterday, how can I know his itinerary?"
