Chapter 44: Your Sister?
Simon collects Eve's body and goes to headquarters to report Eve's death.
And the four Ember also returned to the headquarters.
Al and Borgia sat back at their tables, silently continuing the game that had not yet been played.
And Lorota didn't go to the café again, sitting on the sofa with her head bowed a little depressed.
No one took the initiative to speak, which made the atmosphere of the detective agency fall into a strange embarrassment.
Until a middle-aged gentleman in a long tuxedo and shiny leather shoes, meticulously dressed, walked into the detective agency.
He glanced at the people in the living room and asked,
"May I ask who is Lord Ash Black?"
"I am, something?"
Ember got up and stepped forward, looking at the visitor with a little confusion.
"Lord Black."
The middle-aged gentleman took off his hat and pressed it to his chest, and saluted in the most standard manner, "I am a housekeeper, and I am here to invite you instead of my master." ”
"Who is the master of your house?"
Ember frowned slightly, "Have I met him?" ”
The master of this butler was undoubtedly a nobleman.
But the only nobleman Ember knew was Viscount Glerint.
But as far as he knew, Viscount Glerinth's butler was not the one in front of him.
"You and my master haven't met."
The butler smiled politely, "But you and my young lady should be very familiar with each other." ”
"Audrey?"
Ember immediately realized who he was talking about and asked rhetorically.
The butler smiled and nodded.
"I'm sorry."
Ember was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I still have work to attend to here. ”
"It's okay."
Without hesitation, the butler said, "I will wait for you outside until your work is over." ”
"Well, then, I'll wait outside and won't disturb your work."
The butler saluted respectfully again, turned and left the detective agency.
"Audrey."
Al came behind Ember at some point, stared at him with his eyes, and said quietly, "The Miss Audrey you just talked about, could it be Audrey Hall?" ”
"You know?"
Ember looked at him in some surprise, "Could it be that you are also a hidden nobleman?" ”
Al mistakenly thought that Ember was mocking, and immediately became angry, "What's wrong with the civilians? Civilians eat your rice! Can't commoners have heard of the name of nobility? I'm also an extraordinary, okay?! ”
"What the captain said makes a lot of sense."
Borgia also stared at him with a faint gaze, "After all, we are extraordinary, although we are not like you who can often go to the banquets of nobles and have no chance to meet Miss Hall, but we have also heard of the most dazzling jewels of Beckland. ”
"Beckland's brightest jewel?"
Ember touched her chin and muttered to herself, "She still has such a title?" ”
Elton cast a hostile gaze, his eyes seemed to breathe flames, and even his expression seemed a little distorted.
If before we only looked at the class enemy with the eyes of the class, now we look at a heresy.
"You don't actually have to be here with us."
Lorota sighed lightly and said, "Even if you want to investigate the case, it won't happen overnight, and the upper authorities won't necessarily hand over this case to us to deal with, so it's useless for you to stay here." ”
"It's the butler."
Lorrota paused and said earnestly, "He's representing the Earl of Hall, and although he said he could wait outside, if you really make him wait too long, it will definitely leave a bad impression on Earl Hall." ”
"That's how I see it, too."
Borgia nodded.
"What about you, Captain?"
Ember raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Al to the side.
"Get out of here."
Al glared at him and said angrily, "Don't let me see you for a day today!" ”
He suddenly felt that Ember might as well not come to work if he came to work!
"Okay."
Ember shrugged and turned away from the detective agency.
And on the street outside the detective agency, the butler was standing in front of a carriage waiting quietly.
"Mr. Ash, can we go?"
The butler still asked politely with a proper smile.
Ember bowed slightly, and took two steps forward to board the carriage.
Then, under the whip wielded by the groom, the white horse pulled the carriage slowly towards Queens.
Ultimately.
The carriage stopped in front of the luxurious villa of the Count Hall's family.
"Please come with me, Mr. Ash."
The butler made a respectful gesture of please, and after making sure that Ash was following the pace, he led the way.
"Please wait a moment."
The butler led Ember to a reception room and said respectfully, "The master will be coming soon, do you need coffee or tea?" ”
"Black tea, thank you."
Ember nodded, and instead of choosing to sit on the couch, he walked to the window and looked through the glass at the garden of Earl Hall's house.
Until the sound of the door opening and the sound of approaching footsteps came from behind him.
"Click!"
Ember turned around, and a middle-aged gentleman in a dark brown waistcoat with two beautiful mustaches appeared.
Undoubtedly.
He is the owner of this villa and the main owner of the inviting embers, Earl Hall.
"Good morning, Lord Black."
With a gentle smile on his face, Count Hall greeted Ember as he stepped forward.
"Good morning, Earl Hall."
Ember bowed in response, and the maid knocked on the door, her hand holding tea and snacks.
"I think we can sit down and have a good talk."
Earl Hall waved for the maid to put down the refreshment, then pointed to the sofa and smiled at Ember to invite him.
When Ember was seated, Earl Hall smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Black is from Wintershire? ”
"Yes."
Ember nodded, "Because of the decline of the family, I am going to come to Beckland to find an opportunity to make the family great again." ”
He's seen the 'Ash Black' profile.
This is a lonely nobleman from the northern Winter County, but the title is not high, only the viscount.
In one sentence, it is said that there is a sister and a house, and both parents died.
"Make the family great again?"
Count Hall looked at Ember with a strange look in his eyes.
For a noble boy who was quite close to his daughter, he naturally checked the bottom of the embers.
Judging from the information he obtained, the Viscount Black had just inherited the title this year, and he resolutely chose to come to Beckland because he was dissatisfied with the continued decline of the family.
So Count Hall didn't have any doubts about his words.
It's just that.
It is obviously impossible for an ordinary declining aristocrat to maintain a good relationship with the Night Church.
Even if he's from Wintershire, where the Night Church headquarters is located.
There must be a bigger secret hidden in this Viscount Black.
Although the information I saw was perfect, there were some very obvious loopholes -
For example.
The family member was almost dead, and only one sister remained, Viscount Black, who came to Beckland, why didn't he bring his sister with him?
