Some obese middle-aged men collapsed in pools of blood.

When Yang Luo saw this corpse, several information points flashed through his mind.

The deceased was a baron of the Saka family and one of the brighter social stars of the evening.

Earlier, Viscount Godoy Saka had greeted Yang Luo with a perfunctory smile in response to the new face.

It's nothing.

The nobles present, whether it was the surname Saka or other surnames, looked down on the somewhat mediocre Godoy, and Yang Luo, under Godoy's arrangement, wore Godoy's most expensive dress, and did not look like he was rich and powerful.

Yang Luo didn't care about these details.

As he followed the crowd to the second floor to watch the excitement, he took a closer look at the deceased named Morrington Saka.

At first glance, there were two wounds on the deceased's body.

One wound was in the chest, where it had been pierced through the chest by a sharp object, five to six centimeters wide, and pierced deeply, which was the source of blood on the ground.

One wound was above the eyelid of the right eye, a light bullet through the wound that Yang Luo was familiar with, and the inside of the wound was neat and accompanied by burns.

Yang Luo is not a criminal investigation expert, he can only be foolish.

He estimated that the reason for the two wounds was most likely that the murderer had severely injured the deceased first, and the murderer considered Sakaxing's barely okay medical level, and felt that this injury was very likely to be saved, so he took out a laser pistol and opened a hole in the deceased's head.

For humans, brain death means complete death.

Saka is located in the territory of the Sherman Empire, and has not experienced wars or turmoil for many years;

Although because of the economic downturn, the social order is slightly chaotic, and crimes often occur here, most of these aristocratic lords do not have the opportunity to face the murder scene on weekdays.

Many young people took a few glances at the murder scene and went to the corner to retch.

There were two noble ladies with weak psychological endurance, who fell delicately in the arms of the young man beside them.

But most people didn't panic.

The thirty-two nobles with the surname Saka, eleven nobles with the surname Non-Saka, as well as more than twenty ordinary guests and thirteen waiters, all maintained a basic composure.

Three elderly Saka elders stepped forward.

They began to stabilize the order, demanding that the young men immediately notify the noble court and the local police.

An old man said majestically, "No one can leave here until the police arrive!"

Another old man shouted:

"Whoever does it, stand up and admit it yourself! Whether it's a personal vendetta or for whatever reason, this incident will bring shame on our Saka surname! I hope you can take a little responsibility, don't you dare to admit that you dare to kill someone? ”

A noble lady sighed: "It may be that Morrington is too flamboyant on weekdays, he has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and often says that the nobility is useless, and he still has to rely on his own skills to have no worries about food and clothing, and today he can come back to the party, which is a very happy thing, but." ”

"Alright, protect the site! All go to the first floor! Leave a few security guards here to keep watch!"

An old man shouted.

Everyone poured back into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Viscount Godoy Saka had never seen such a scene, his feet were a little weak, Yang Luo took the initiative to reach out and hold his arm, and walked with the crowd as usual.

"Aren't you afraid? My dear nephew, this is a brutal homicide," Godoy asked in a whisper.

Yang Luo said slowly: "This has nothing to do with us, is my uncle familiar with this baron." ”

"He's about the same age as me, we're two grades apart when we go to school, and he's helped me out in the past against the rude aristocrats in other classes, he's a good guy and probably that's the case, and we haven't been in touch with each other since."

It is clear that Viscount Godoy Saka was somewhat unconfident when he said, 'He is a good man'.

Yang Luo didn't ask much.

He was not interested in the life and death of an imperial baron.

The deceased is a baron, and he can catch a lot of them in the empire, as long as he pays enough taxes and is willing to donate, he can also get the same level of non-welfare title through some channels.

However, Yang is not out of the way, and the court of nobility is likely to control everyone and investigate them one by one.

The secret between him and the viscount next to him cannot be easily exposed.

Soon, Viscount Godoy Saka was called to a small meeting.

The meeting was attended by the three respected 'elderly Saka', plus four mature and stable 'middle-aged Saka';

The fact that Godoy was able to be called over also proved his nominal status as a viscount in the Saka family.

About ten minutes later, Godoy returned to Yang Luo.

The middle-aged man had a sad face, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said slowly:

"They asked you who you were, and I told you the truth."

Subtext: Because of the unexpected incident, they are concerned about the identity of the new face who came here, and I admit that you are my illegitimate child, but ask them to keep it a secret.

Godoy patted Yang Luo on the shoulder and continued: "Don't worry, you have been by my side all the time today, and you have always been in everyone's sight, no one will embarrass you, but you should be asked to do an investigation later." ”

Yang Luo frowned and asked, "Do the police care about this?" ”

"The police have cordoned off this hotel and will send a commissioner to assist us later," Godoy said, "and they heard that the death of a noble baron was still a homicide, so they passed the blame to the noble court, whose nearest ship would arrive in more than an hour." ”

Yang Luo sighed: "These policemen's ability to kick the ball is really good. ”

"It's understandable, but I suspect that we didn't want the police to enter, so we put pressure on the police, rather than the police voluntarily giving up the investigation."

Godoy sighed:

These people in front of you are almost the ones who have the real right to speak on this planet, except for me, most of them have huge connections and wealth.

"Other guys who can't do it will not come here to bring shame on themselves."

Yang Luo nodded and smiled: "This kind of living situation is not something you can decide with your uncle, you are under pressure from your father." ”

"You can comfort people that we can't make a choice, but we can try to change."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yang Luo casually picked up a glass of watermelon juice and took a sip, Viscount Godoy Saka stared at the glass, then turned his head to cover his mouth and retched.

Poplar:

Tsk, so weak.

At this moment, a well-dressed young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes hurried to Yang Luo's side.

"Hello, Hui, can you come with me? Three respected elders who want to ask you. ”

Viscount Godoy Saka cast an encouraging look at Yang Luo: "Go ahead, there will be no problems." ”

Yang Luo's acting skills are not bad, he pursed his lips slightly, frowned slightly, groaned a few times, raised his hand and pushed his glasses with his middle finger, and then nodded in response.

"Please follow me."

The young man bowed his head and hurriedly left, and Yang Luo followed behind him and was taken to the small room on the first floor where Godoy had just held a meeting.

In the room, three elders of the Saka family sat on the sofa in the center.

There were several middle-aged men in the corner, whispering about the inheritance of the deceased's property.

The title of the deceased is not hereditary.

Yang Luo put his hands behind his back, calmly stood in front of the three old men, and continued to interpret 'apprehension' and 'nervousness'

Hello, young man," sighed the old man in the center, "I'm sorry that the first time you attended our family gathering, you were confronted with such a vicious incident, and the perpetrator was bound to be punished. ”

Yang Luo nodded slightly.

"What's your name?"

"Hui," Yang Luo responded.

"Okay Xiaohui," the old man on the left said slowly, "Let me ask you a few questions first, what is your relationship with Godoy?" ”

"I'm his distant relative, and Lady Deli is my aunt, to be exact."

The three old men chuckled lightly, and the middle-aged men in the corner also looked over.

The old man on the right asked: "You've been by Godoy's side tonight, haven't you?" ”

"Yes, almost everyone can prove it," Yang Luo nodded.

"What do you think of this murder?"

Yang Luo said: "I don't know very well, and I don't know much about the situation, but this matter should have some negative effects, especially when the murderer is found, if the other party is a member of the Saka family, or even a nobleman, I am afraid it will attract public attention." ”

The three old men suddenly became melancholy.

The old people sighed:

"I'm surprised that you can take that into account. Yes, for the aristocracy, reputation is the most important wealth, and our family is already in the waning state and cannot afford to lose its reputation. ”

"It's best for the murderer to be someone outside the family, but that's not something we can decide."

"Alas, Morrington is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he has indeed offended many people, but he does not have this level of deep hatred."

"He looked down on his family, so he was killed by fanatics within the family?"

"Do you think there are any fanatics among our children and grandchildren?"

"That."

Yang Luo couldn't help but interrupt the three old men who were about to talk:

"I think that things may not be so complicated, or it may be a murder out of impulsive passion, such as a dispute between the murderer and the deceased, and the murderer stabbed the baron in the chest with a murder weapon in a moment of excitement, and was afraid that he would retaliate later, so he simply took out a pistol and penetrated the baron's brain."

"The top priority is to restrict the movement of everyone in the hotel and not give the murderer a chance to deal with the traces."

"Let's also check the monitoring, maybe there will be unexpected effects."

The old man's eyes lit up in the center: "Do you know how to find the murderer?" Xiaohui? ”

How could I understand this," Yang Luo smiled implicitly, ", I just like to watch some detective dramas and novels. ”

The old man said, "What you just said is very reasonable. It's amazing that when I talk to you, most of the anxiety and tension in my heart have subsided, as if you can give me great comfort. ”

"Come here and sit in the back of us, Godoy has mediocre qualifications and no ambitions, but he is actually the real lineage of this family, and it just so happens that you are here to represent him in this matter."

"Just now we obviously asked him to stay, but he said that he couldn't do this, and he had to go back to accompany you, and said that you were too young to experience this kind of scene."

"You're much calmer than he is."

"Then we'll let you be here, let him cry outside! Hahaha! Oh yes, Morrington's nephew just hung up, and I can't laugh like that, and make people think I have some vendetta against him, which is not appropriate. ”

Yang Luo muttered, "I should probably go and comfort Uncle Godoy, he is frightened. ”

The old man said, "Oh, no, now it's up to you to represent him and move a chair!" You guys!"

A middle-aged uncle was about to move the chair immediately, Yang Luo took the first step, and said again and again that he would be good if he came by himself, and smiled awkwardly at the corner.

The middle-aged uncles gave him a kind smile.

Yang Luo muttered in his heart.

Didn't Godoy have so many resources? Why is it so miserable?

Wrong.

Yang Luo quickly understood something.

This is not a care, but a temptation.

Godoy is the descendant of this family, and what the nobles value is the so-called inheritance system, if Godoy rises again, it will damage the interests of these nobles in front of them.

Since the other party already knew that he was Godoy's 'illegitimate child' and let him stay here, it was most likely just to observe/observe.

If he were as mediocre as Godoy, these nobles with the same surname would be truly reassured.

Yang just smiled calmly.

This kind of intrigue between the petty nobles is just that.

However, in the next half hour, Yang Luo finally witnessed what it means to be a fool.

These guys in front of them are simply a group of idiots who have mastered aristocratic etiquette and can only intrigue!

The process of questioning one by one is simple and sloppy.

Some nobles suspected of having a motive for the murder were called to the three old men and asked similar questions.

Yang Luo originally thought that the three old men were seriously solving the case, but after some inquiry, he found that they were turning over and over those questions.

What do you think of Mornington?

Have you ever had a conflict with Mornington?

Have you ever been to the second floor tonight?

Other than that, there are no tricks.

Not only that, but there were more and more people sitting behind the sofa, and almost every young person who was questioned would be called over by three old men to take a seat, and then listen to the next guest together.

Half an hour was wasted.

The ship of the Noble Court was still half an hour away from reaching Saka, and the commissioner sent by the police was reluctant to enter, apparently not wanting to cause such trouble.

Yang Luo was indeed a little bored while listening.

Are these aristocratic lords comfortable for too long, causing the folds of the cerebral cortex to become shallow?

Since you want to find the murderer before the arrival of the noble court, then go to the actual investigation, a group of people do not look for evidence, motives do not scrutinize, murder methods do not judge, and even the time of death is not judged, just in that hard concave shape, trying to express their wit and wisdom.

Watch the surveillance!

Watch the surveillance!

Even if the fucking Conan is here today, you have to watch the surveillance first! Are the surveillance footage placed throughout this hotel an ornament?

However, Yang Luo was always restrained, he blended in the crowd behind the sofa and waited quietly for things to progress; During this time, Godoy came to see him twice uneasily, and finally simply stayed in the corner.

By the time they had finished questioning the last guest, the room was packed.

"Uh-huh," said the old man in the center, "what do you think about this?" ”

A middle-aged uncle hugged his arms: "I think this incident will definitely have an adverse impact on our family, and we must prepare in advance." ”

Yang Luo: Specifically?

A lace-haired grandmother said softly: "Now we can't add more uncertainty, we have to optimize our course of action on the basis of dealing with the highest priorities." ”

Yang: What are the specific contents of the action plan?

The young man who went to call Yang Luo over just now sighed at this moment: "Yes, we must unite and show the cohesion of our Saka family in this matter, now we need to work together to find out who the murderer is, if he is a member of the Saka family, we have family rules outside the law, if he is not a member of the Saka family, we must not give up." ”

"I would suggest that this could be a long tug-of-war, and that we should first set up a homicide response committee."

"I propose that someone of high standing in the family should be the head of this committee."

"Yes, we also have to make our own donations to fund it, and it's for the sake of all of us, and it's in our vital interest."

"The establishment of this committee must focus on the efficiency of dealing with problems, we must work hard, make real contributions to the family, grasp the main contradictions, and be able to reasonably analyze the negative impact of public opinion, which is a huge challenge to our personal ability."

"It's a great challenge."

"I propose that we have an encouragement ceremony first, and how about everyone touch a glass first? For the establishment of the Homicide Response Committee, for the glory of the Saka family, and for the revival of our family!"

"Good!"

Ding, ding, ding.

A group of nobles clinked glasses to each other, and the atmosphere in the conference room was hot again.

Poplar:

He*'s!

Hang these nobles one by one!

Godoy saw that Yang Luo's expression was a little ugly, and he came to his side with a smile and muttered, "Just get used to it." ”

"Need my help?" Yang Luo asked.

Godoy visibly hesitated.

He had been with Yang Luo for a week, and he knew that this 'illegitimate child' was very good, but his deal with Yang Luo and the two of them had better be low-key.

But Godoy soon realized another problem.

The court of nobles may pull us all over to investigate," Godoy said in the faintest of voices, "and may do a comparison of information. Biometric comparison.

Yang Luo nodded, already understanding what to do.

In other words, he must now find a way to hand over the case to the police before the aristocratic court intervenes, and quickly find the murderer to avoid the innocent himself and Godoy being involved, which will cause immeasurable potential harm. In particular, Yang Luo himself can't touch too many inspections, let alone verify biological information.

A few thoughts quickly crossed his mind, Yang Luo knocked on his glasses, and after Lu sent back the message, he made a decision in his heart. He immediately lifted Erlang's legs, folded his hands on his knees, took the soda bottle from Godoy's hand, and threw it to the ground.

Ding, ding, ding!

The bottle made a crisp sound, and a group of people subconsciously looked over.

Yang Luo's figure was back, his temperament changed slightly, and his eyes were a little sharper.

"Everyone, carefully crafted lies can't hide their own inflated desires, I already know who the murderer is!"

A group of nobles looked shocked.
