Chapter 142: The Lying Butler
Melk Manor, Zhang Jichuan wore a human skin mask that was seven or eight points similar to Pidlow, coupled with the extraordinary ability of the 'United Nations General Assembly Washing Powder', and successfully deceived Yolton's butler and invited him into Melk Manor.
When entering the door, Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong tacitly drew the housekeeper's attention away, and Zhang Jichuan flashed to the side and quickly opened a door that did not exist
On the balcony by the garden, there was exquisite morning tea and dessert on the table, and Mrs. Bhatti and Zhang Jichuan sat opposite each other.
Heh, this Mrs. Batti was frightened by Viscount Lando, and she didn t dare to receive the male nobles alone indoors, but this is fine, so that I don't have to be careful when I enter and go out Zhang Jichuan thought silently.
"Baron Pidlow, please use some of the morning," said Madame Batti softly, a faint sorrow on her brow.
"Thank you, ma'am." Zhang Jichuan pressed his hand to his chest, bowed slightly, and took a sip of morning tea before he spoke, "Madame's Day mourning, yesterday I was entangled in mundane affairs, and I couldn't come to mourn Baron Jolton earlier, but I didn't expect that in just half a day, there was a theft of the body, which is really ridiculous."
Mrs. Barty looked slightly unnatural, bowing her head and weeping.
Zhang Jichuan continued, "But don't worry, Madame, the Marquis of Basatia has called on me and others to make a proposal to Your Majesty to search the entire Zero Capital and the surrounding suburbs, Your Majesty has agreed, and it will not be long before the body of Baron Yolton can be recovered." ”
"Ah," said Madame Batti, her body trembling slightly, and the look on her face could not tell whether she was happy or alarmed, "then, thank Baron Piedlow." ”
"It should." Zhang Jichuan smiled slightly, took a bite of the soft bread, and suddenly asked, "In the obituary released by Madame, it was mentioned that Baron Yolton committed suicide?" ”
Mrs. Batty bowed her head slightly, "Yes"
"But if Baron Jolton committed suicide, then who will come back to steal his body?" Zhang Jichuan's face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if the theft of the corpse had nothing to do with him, and fully brought in the identity of Piedlow, looked at Mrs. Batty and said, "So, how is Madam sure that Baron Jolton committed suicide?"
"Did Madame see it with her own eyes?"
"This," Mrs. Batti was speechless for a moment, and panic flashed across her face.
"Your Excellency," the butler behind Mrs. Barty suddenly spoke, "Madame did not see the old man commit suicide, but the servant saw it." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Jichuan's eyes flashed, and his gaze moved to the housekeeper, "It turned out that the housekeeper saw it?" ”
Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong, who were behind him, also looked at the housekeeper together, their eyes full of scrutiny.
According to Ms. Vivien, there were only three people at the scene when Jolton died, the masked man, and Ms. Vivien. So, either the housekeeper lied, or he was the masked man!
"Yes, the servant saw the old man commit suicide with his own eyes." The butler bent over.
The corners of Zhang Jichuan's mouth hooked, and he nodded, as if he was convinced, "I see." ”
But then he changed his words and said, "But Baron Jolton is fine, why should he kill himself?" And there are still many doubts about this matter because someone came to steal his body. But rest assured, Madame, when Baron Jolton's body is found, she will advise the Marquis of Basatia to examine it carefully and determine the true cause of his death.
"As a new nobleman, I will definitely not let Baron Jolton die in vain, please rest assured, Madame."
Madame Batti's face was not bloody, and she looked a little sickly white in the early morning sun, and she smiled reluctantly, "Then thank you Baron Pedrow." ”
"Madame is gracious."
Zhang Jichuan didn't say more, accompanied Mrs. Bhatti to eat some desserts, and then got up to say goodbye.
"Butler, give Baron Pidlow a ride for me." Mrs. Batty gave the butler a look, who nodded understandingly.
"Yes."
"This housekeeper has a ghost!" When the front hooves of the horse pulling the cart stepped past the gate of the manor, Zhang Jichuan in the carriage had already opened a door that did not exist, and appeared in the vineyard a hundred meters away with Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong, Mao Rongrong immediately raised his hand.
Zhou Xinyi's eyes were solemn, and she didn't have much expression, "Get ready to fight." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Jichuan and Mao Rongrong nodded.
Mrs. Batty has said that she wants the butler to 'give her a ride.'"
The three of them relied on Zhang Jichuan to keep opening the door, walking between the jungle and the shadows, and following the 'own' carriage from a distance. When the carriage left Melk Manor or so for a kilometre, the two horses pulling the cart suddenly went berserk for some reason, spread their hooves and ran into the jungle, leaving no matter how the groom was leashed.
Bang!
The two horses had red eyes, ran faster and faster, and threw out the groom sitting outside the carriage
When two horses pulled the carriage past a mountain, they heard a loud noise erupt, and the rolling earth and rocks on the mountain were like a torrent falling from the sky.
The two horses let out a long, terrible neigh, and in an instant they were buried in the rolling earth and stones
Swish!
A figure wrapped in black, with no eyes showing, appeared in the smoke and dust, releasing a dark crown of soul light, in which all nine nodes were occupied by transcendent items.
The black shadow summoned a magic staff, condensing into thousands of metal cone thorns in front of him, and he gently pushed it, and suddenly the cone thorns were like dense raindrops, stabbing at the thick pile of rocks.
"Goodbye, Baron Pidlow, if you want to blame it, I'll blame you for too many things" The black shadow said softly, but in the next second, his body stiffened slightly, and he made a puzzled voice, "No, Baron Pidlow is also a superb, how can he be killed so easily?" ”
The black shadow immediately realized that something was wrong, and slapped it out, and the surging soul power came out of the body along the palm, and with a bang, it kicked off endless smoke and dust, and in the midst of the flying earth and rocks, the black shadow's eyes were like lightning, ignoring the thin black clothes, and saw the wreckage of a carriage.
But there were no human corpses under the earth and rocks except the corpses of two horses!
The dark shadow was shocked, "Where is Baron Pidlow?" ”
At this moment, two voices rang in his ears at the same time.
A male voice said, "Heh, are you looking for me?" ”
The other is the barometer of the female voice "Lomonosov, atmospheric pressure." ”
As soon as the female voice fell, a powerful squeezing sensation came from all over the black shadow's body, and he instantly sensed that the atmosphere in the surrounding void seemed to become thick as water, and a strong pressure came from all directions.
"Not good" Under the black clothes, the black shadow's complexion changed greatly, and after the atmospheric pressure was modified, his movements became difficult and obscure, and it was very difficult to even turn around.
"Meow!"
An afterimage appeared on the edge of his vision with a cat meow, and he saw a golden copper claw clawed at his throat
