Chapter 16: JLA Vendetta (Part I)
In the Barrantes Mansion, Edward and Evelyn heard that Ryan was coming back today, although they didn't say anything, they were very unhappy in their hearts, plus Edward had avenged Perold before, but he didn't succeed but suffered a loss at the hands of the other party, in fact, if Frankie hadn't appeared in time that day, I'm afraid that his life would have been put together, but, although he already hated Ryan, the other party was also a member of the Barrantes family after all, this is a fact, they don't want to admit it.
At this time, I saw a brown and black carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion, Evelyn finished the last bite of snacks in her hand, stood up from the sofa, walked to the door, and saw Ryan walking down from the carriage supported by a young strange man, so he walked forward slowly, Ryan saw the other side walking towards him, he was slightly stunned at first, and then frowned imperceptibly, in fact, he had already thought about countless possible scenarios when he came back here, These people hated him so much, knowing that they were coming back, how could they not want to make trouble.
Ryan didn't have the leisure to chat with the other party, ignoring Evelyn's arrogant appearance and about to walk around the mansion in the other direction, however, where would she let him go so easily, stepped forward with her right foot to block in front of him and asked with a smile: "Brother, don't you plan to talk to me when you just came back?" ”
"We don't have much to say." Ryan said coldly, his eyes were full of indifference and alienation, and then he walked directly around her He really didn't want to say one more word to the other party, stay for a second longer, just feel that if he said one more word to her, even if it was a punctuation mark, he would feel extremely disgusting, and now these people seemed to him to be a hundred times more disgusting than the rats in the basement.
Evelyn didn't expect this little slut to leave her no face at all, so she turned around angrily and stepped forward to take a few steps forward and stretched out her hand to touch Ryan, but was blocked back by Claude beside him, she couldn't help but look at the other party angrily and reprimanded: "What are you, dare to touch me!" ”
Claude was not annoyed or angry, and the smile on his face did not change in the slightest, as if the person who was scolded was not him, but said in a calm tone: "If Miss can speak, it is better not to use your hands and feet, after all, it is difficult to wash the clothes when they are dirty." "From now on, he has only Ryan as his master, and this is the commander's order, and he is even more willing, and he doesn't need to be too polite to those who come to find trouble.
Evelyn immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly, "What do you mean by that?" Looking at Ryan again, he found that he didn't mean to reprimand Claude, and he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, "Ryan, you just connived at the people around you to talk to me like this, don't forget that I'm your sister!" ”
Ryan turned to look at her angry face, but raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm surprised that you still remember you and my sister, but I want to remind you that if you know how to respect others, they will naturally respect you." After saying this, an extremely familiar voice came from behind him: "Sister, I have reminded you that Ryan even killed his father ruthlessly, not to mention that he will say anything good to us." ”
Although the expression on Ryan's face was still very indifferent, he sneered in his heart: just solved a trouble, and another of these people is really endless. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but he didn't refute it, because it was true,
Ryan said with a cold smile on his lips, "Hear that?" So you better stay away from me in the future, or I don't know if the next time I see you again, you will be outside the coffin, or on the stage of some puppet opera house, or if you will have been bitten apart by wolves. After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned around and walked towards the mansion, and Edward, who didn't look at it, walked straight to the room, Claude took his luggage from the carriage, smiled politely at the two, and then followed the other person away.
This is clearly an undisguised threat, Edward turned around sharply, looked at the back of the opposite person walking upstairs with hatred, and for a while, the corners of his mouth pulled up a sneer: "Ryan, I won't let you be so proud!" ”
Ryan looked at his bedroom, it was obvious that none of these people had let the servants come up to clean his desk when he was away, the bookshelves, and even the floor were covered with dust, and the corners of the walls and those places that could or would not be noticed were almost covered with spider silk, Claude put down the luggage in his hand and said softly: "Young master, leave it to me next." ”
Ryan nodded, then took a step back, Claude walked in slowly, opened the window, let fresh air in, washed away the musty smell, and then brought buckets, rags, mops and other tools for cleaning, this scrubbing, that scrubbing even the usual places that would not be easily noticed, but in a few minutes, the whole bedroom was extremely clean, it was almost spotless, and the speed of cleaning was even more surprising.
Claude put all Ryan's things in order and came to him and said, "Young Master, it's finished, you can go in." ”
Ryan nodded and walked in slowly, just then Evelyn suddenly stepped forward angrily, Ryan saw that she was drenched, and even the delicate makeup on her face was spent, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, Evelyn looked at him and asked angrily, "Ryan, what do you mean?" ”
Ryan turned his head to look at Claude, and Claude immediately remembered that he hadn't noticed Evelyn standing under the window on the first floor when he was cleaning the window just now, so the water just happened to be splashed on the other party, so he stepped forward and said embarrassedly: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I didn't find you when I just cleaned the window." ”
"It's you!" Evelyn immediately glared at Claude when she heard this, "Even if it is necessary to splash a whole bucket of water on the windows to clean the windows, you obviously did it on purpose!" Then he looked at Ryan and said, "Ryan, when I go and tell my mother, you will wait to be scolded." Then he turned around and raged.
"You did it on purpose, right?" When the other party's figure disappeared from sight, Ryan turned to look at Claude, seeing that he still had the guiltless smile on his face, and his thin lips couldn't help but raise a light smile and asked.
"Those who are not good for the young master do not need to be polite." Claude admitted very simply, he saw Evelyn standing under the window on the first floor watering those roses, so he would splash that bucket of water, not to mention, those gardens will naturally be Ryan in the future, wouldn't it be better to water them now?
"My mother, Allison, has always loved these two, and if she hadn't gone shopping with other noble ladies today, it would have been absolutely endless, and now she is going to tell her, what are you going to do?" Ryan asked with a smirk as he looked at Claude.
"This kind of thing couldn't be easier to solve." Claude said confidently.
Hearing him say this, Ryan didn't say anything more, and then when he reached into his pocket and wanted a handkerchief, he touched something and couldn't help but wonder, and then took it out of his pocket and saw that it was a letter, and it was sent by Her Majesty, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Claude, when did you put this in my pocket?" ”
"When you were still in the Commander's Mansion just now, the Commander stuffed it into your pocket." Claude replied immediately.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ryan couldn't help but ask in a deep voice when he heard this.
"You didn't ask me either." Claude asked, with a very innocent look on his face.
"I'm going to kill you!" Ryan said coldly, with a little anger in his tone, and then opened the envelope and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, then repacked the envelope and said, "Gina Davis was found hanging in the Holm Forest, let's go." ”
Claude replied "Yes" and then picked up Ryan sideways and walked to the window, then jumped on the window, and then flew out of the window, quickly disappeared into the night, and soon the two came to the Holm Forest, the moonlight shone through the gaps in the trees and cast mottled shadows on the ground, a female corpse in a black dress hung on a branch 6 meters from the ground, her mouth was wide open, blood flowed down the corners of her mouth on both sides, and a pair of eyes stared at the boss and the inside was full of bloodshots, Death is not blind, obviously extremely unwilling to die.
And there was nothing nearby that could be used to step on the foot, apparently the deceased did not commit suicide, and what does the black letter "J" mean by writing black paint on the trunk of the tree where the deceased hanged? The deceased was also holding a black letter in his hand, which was not red as usual, but black.
The clothes worn by the deceased are black, and even the black envelope is black and the letter "J" is written in black paint, the first letter of the deceased's name is "J", and the time of death is night, if the murderer kills according to the color of the clothes worn by the deceased today, then he must always monitor the deceased's movements to see when she will wear black clothes, and if the deceased was killed according to the first letter of the deceased's name, then what does this mean.
Claude looked at Ryan, who was meditating, and said, "Young Master, do you remember the female corpse that drowned in the river three months ago?" At that time, the case was solved by you, young master, personally. ”
Ryan then remembered that there was indeed a female deceased who drowned in a river three months ago, and the name of the drowned deceased was Gillian Loydon, although three people who killed the dead had been caught at that time, but at that time Gillian was found to be suffering from depression and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and the three girls were the ones who indirectly forced Gillian to die, so he was detained for five months and was released.
Ryan suddenly thought of something in the midst of lightning, and one of the three people who forced Gillian to death at that time was not the deceased Gina Davis today? He immediately opened the black envelope in his hand, and the letter only wrote a short sentence: "Come to Holm Forest at 16:50 in the afternoon to find me." "The deceased died at 19:50 p.m.
The deceased was killed by the murderer after receiving the envelope and then coming to the forest, which means that the murderer killed the deceased according to the first letter of the first letter of the deceased's name and the color of the clothes worn by the deceased. Ryan immediately looked at Claude on the side and said, "Claude, there may be two more people who will die next." ”
Claude immediately showed a look of extreme shock when he heard this-
