Chapter Eighty-One: The Poor Dagger
Without waiting for David to answer, Ilea held up the recorder and played the dialogue inside.
"Tell me the name."
"If I tell you, will you let me go?"
"No, you killed my father, he regarded you as a close friend, and I need to avenge my father."
"No way, if you know his identity, you'll know that your revenge can't be accomplished."
"That's my business."
“…………”
"He forced me, the Figuerola family is the lord of the West, and that person is the next heir of the Figuerola family, he only needs to move his mouth, someone has done everything for him, they designed to frame Hugo, my only son, I have to do what he says.
"Only in this way can I save Hugo, I don't want to murder your father, we are friends, but I can't disobey David's orders, I'm sorry, I'm too weak......"
…………
"Do you have anything to explain, Lord David?" Ilea pressed closely.
"Recording the voice, that's the Merlin prophet's method." David said, "No matter how many times I feel it, it's still amazing." I do not doubt the abilities of the prophet Merlin, but there is also a drawback to this means.
"It can only record the voice, but it can't record what the speaker is in."
"What does that mean?"
"I mean Sir Carroman probably said it under duress. It is known that Sir Carroman had gone out hunting with his attendants more than ten days earlier, and had disappeared since then.
His family had been looking for him all this time, and just three days earlier, word came from Acorn Castle that the body of the attendant who had gone out with him had been found.
"Judging by the wounds left on his body, it is clear that he had fought before he died, and the people of the House of Ville concluded that Sir Carroman had been kidnapped."
"Are you implying that I kidnapped Ser Carroman and forced him to say what he had said?" The girl said angrily.
"I don't say so, but Sir Carroman's behaviour is very strange, for he was a nobleman, and the head of the House of Ville, who appeared on the stage himself to take part in your play, and suffered an emotional breakdown in the middle of the performance, and took his own life with his own hands.
"Don't you think it's all a little out of the ordinary?"
David's words made many people present nod secretly, especially when they recalled the bloody scene before, the look on Caroman's face was indeed very struggling, and the whole person seemed to be coerced by someone.
But in the end, his conscience still prevailed, and instead of listening to the arrangement of the female lord, he framed David, but ended his own life, which seemed to make sense at first glance.
Miss Rabbit laughed angrily, "Obviously you threatened him below, otherwise why did you bring his son here?" ”
"Hugo is here with Madame Catherine, and if you don't believe me, you can ask him. Besides," David paused, "would you like to explain how Sir Carroman's right hand is missing?" ”
"I didn't cut off his right hand, but ......" The girl suddenly realized something in the middle of her speech, and when Huls handed her over, she didn't say anything about Carroman's condition.
Even if she confessed to Hulse now, the latter would most likely not admit that his people had done it.
And the worst thing is that Ilea doesn't have any evidence on hand.
From kidnapping to handing over people, Huls did everything very cleanly.
Sure enough, when the girl turned her head to look at Hulse on the side, the other party just smiled helplessly at her.
In the eyes of outsiders, the new head of the Arias family is indeed the one most likely to kidnap and take revenge on Karoman.
After all, Carroman had killed her father by mistake, and with this hatred, Ilea had every incentive to do such a thing.
It's just that most people can't understand why the girl is doing everything possible to drag the Figuera family into the water.
First Huls, then David.
If it weren't for the identity of a dragon slayer heroine here, she would have been taken down by the guards of the Figuerola family at this time.
In fact, the sheriff had shifted his attention from Hulse to the female lord, and he looked eager to take someone when he gave David's order.
Miss Rabbit, who originally thought that there was all the human and material evidence, and that she could convict the real murderer with the help of the power of public opinion, suddenly found that she had been busy for so many days, except for helping Hulse clear his grievances, it seemed that she had gained nothing.
Instead, he inadvertently took a black cauldron that kidnapped and forced Carroman to death.
The girl's lungs were about to explode, and her gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, expecting someone to stand by her side.
However, most people, from nobles to commoners, looked at her with only suspicion and hostility.
The Figuerola family has ruled the western frontier for more than 900 years, and has replaced the Enriquez family as the legitimacy of this land, enjoying great prestige among the people.
Even if she is now a dragon slayer hero, everyone is still more inclined to believe in the latter than the Figuerola family.
Ilea suddenly felt that she might have been wrong from the beginning.
One should not rely on the power of the public to counter the power of the Figuerola family.
But if she didn't, she didn't know what she could do to avenge her father.
After all, in the West, the Figuerola family is too powerful, as a top wealthy family entrenched in the upper echelons of the empire, whether it is military, political or economic strength, it is far from being comparable to the small Arias family.
From the moment she was determined to embark on the path of revenge, almost everyone persuaded her to give up.
However, she is not Hugo, and as a member of the Arias family, Miss Rabbit has perfectly inherited the characteristics of her father's tendons.
Of course, she does not know how to weigh the pros and cons, but on some issues of principle, the new head of the Arias family is more stubborn than anyone else.
She couldn't accept that her beloved died like this, even if she knew that she might be in danger if she pursued it, but she still bumped into it without hesitation.
Perhaps in the eyes of smart people, she was not wise at all. But Miss Rabbit still stubbornly feels that there are some things that must be done in this world, and she is far from the end of the road.
If this was a three-man game, Hulse and David had already played their trump cards one after another, but Ilea's trump card was still tightly held in her hand.
And that's the biggest ghost at the table.
