Chapter 144: Investigation
Looking through a breach in the outer wall, Ryan only saw a courtyard more than ten meters wide, and at the other end of the courtyard were one large and two small rooms, but the doors of the rooms were all locked, and there was no figure in sight.
Rui An'an sank, because when he saw the scene inside, it was incomparably depressed, incomparably broken, and it seemed that it had not been inhabited for a long time.
"What's next?" Ryan found that the situation was not as he imagined on the way, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, Rai'an had a thought, and he remembered that Dory had said that Yatherine's death seemed to be known to many people, so he had a new idea. He looked around for a while, and came to a grocery store at the entrance of the alley, intending to inquire.
Next, at the cost of two silver coins paid by Ryan, the owner of the grocery store gave an answer, but this answer completely shattered Ryan's original expectations, "The family seems to have died of a daughter, but their family left some time ago, and I heard that they are returning to their hometown." ”
After a moment of silence, Ryan barely bothered to ask about Bentley, the son of Earl Nock.
As a result, the owner of the grocery store knew nothing but that she was married to the son of the Earl of Nock.
Next, Ryan has only one way to go, which is to go to Bingley, the son of Earl Nock, and directly find out the truth about Yathrine's death.
Later, after questioning countless passers-by, Ryan finally found the residence of Count Nock.
A very large courtyard, with a gate more than five or six meters wide and three meters high, looks like it can be used by two carriages to enter and exit. The exterior wall is hundreds of meters wide, which shows how large the residence of the Earl of Nock is, and it can be seen that the Earl of Nock has a high status and can be regarded as a powerful figure in the city of Pouls.
From the exterior of the courtyard, although not very new, it was spotlessly clean, and there was absolutely nothing broken or dilapidated, and it was clear that there must have been many servants in the Earl of Nock's house to do the work.
Ryan looked at it again and again, and it was disappointing, and he didn't seem to see anything special other than the size.
The door of the house was ajar, and two guard-like people were standing outside the door, but Ryan did not act rashly, but stood in a hidden place opposite the diagonal side of the gate, watching the door.
"What should I do?" Ryan was thinking about it in his heart, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while. Door-to-door asking? It was clearly not a good idea, so I had to wait silently.
Half a day passed, and while Ryan was still thinking about what to do, the half-open doors suddenly opened. Then two people came out of the door.
The person walking in front was dressed as a noble young master. The dark blue long-sleeved gown, which seemed to be seamed with gold thread, was a thin gold chain, one end hung in the middle of the dress, and the other end seemed to hang a pocket watch in the right breast pocket. The aristocratic young master is tall, with a fair face, very obvious and sharp facial features, and a very smooth hairstyle.
This is a handsome and beautiful man, who can be 100% sure of a noble young master at first sight. Suddenly a thought came to Ryan's mind: "Could this be Yatherine's husband Bingley?" ”
Walking behind the aristocratic young master was a young man dressed in very ordinary clothes.
The attendant cautiously followed behind the noble young master, and when he looked over from Ryan's perspective, the attendant's brow seemed to be furrowed. However, when the noble young master walked to the door and stopped, the attendant hurriedly stepped forward, at this time, his frowning brows disappeared at once, replaced by an extremely exaggerated smile, and his waist, which had stood straight before, bent down all of a sudden, only to see him smile a little and said, "Young master, where are you going?" ”
"Go get a car." The aristocratic young master didn't even look at his follower, and said coldly.
"Yes, yes." The attendant replied, and then he turned and walked into the door.
A moment later, a new, ornate two-horse carriage slowly drove out of the door.
Two black-robbed, similar-looking horses pulled a carriage with two rows of sealed carriages, the carriages were very new, the body of the carriage was carved with various ornate patterns, and countless thin ribbons of gold leaf were hung, which was very gorgeous.
It was not the attendant who drove the carriage, but a middle-aged strong man, who walked on the side of the carriage.
The carriage drove in front of the noble young master, and the attendant hurriedly stepped forward to open the door of the carriage and helped the noble young master to step into the carriage.
Seeing that the aristocratic young master who was suspected of being the target was about to get into the carriage and leave, Ryan was suddenly a little anxious, he gritted his teeth, and immediately walked out of the hidden place and walked towards the noble young master.
Ryan walked over like this, without a purpose, and even he didn't know what to do next.
When Ryan approached the carriage, he suddenly heard his attendant ask the noble young master, "Young master, where are you going?" ”
"Go to the Blue Rose Bar." The young master replied indifferently.
"Yes." The follower replied. However, the next attendant seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said to the noble young master who had already sat in the carriage: "Young master, Madame has just passed away, isn't it very good to go to this kind of place now?" ”
Suddenly, the aristocratic young master was furious, only to see him staring at his follower, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
The attendant knew that he had said the wrong thing at this time, so he hurriedly bent down and said, "Yes, yes, don't be angry, young master." After speaking, the attendant closed the door of the carriage, turned around and jumped into the rush seat in front of the carriage, and squeezed together with the strong man who was rushing the car. The carriage then drove off.
As Ryan approached the carriage, he was stunned when he heard the words of his attendant, and he was sure that this noble young master was Bingley, the son of the Earl of Nock, that is, the husband of Jaceline.
Immediately afterward, Rui's head became angry and he was about to step forward to question Bentley. Unexpectedly, the carriage had already started, gradually widening the distance between it and Ryan.
Ryan hurriedly followed.
The carriage ran faster and faster in the middle of the street. Ryan also began to run after the carriage desperately, but he couldn't outrun the two-horse carriage. After running off two streets, the carriage disappeared from Ryan's sight.
Ryan had to stop in frustration, but then he remembered that he had just heard a conversation with Bingley, who was going to a place called the Blue Rose Bar.
Ryan hurriedly asked the passers-by next to him for directions, and then, after asking more than a dozen passers-by, Ryan spent half a day coming to the Blue Rose Bar.
The Blue Rose Bar, where Ryan looks from the outside, is like any other building in this world, with a very large footprint. The bar is three stories tall and appears to have an open-air balcony on the roof, surrounded by half-height wooden balustrades carved with various motifs and statues. The roof railing and exterior walls are painted in blue, and a row of flower beds are enclosed by a row of wooden fences underneath the exterior walls, filled with roses blooming with blue flowers.
Actually, Ryan didn't know that the Blue Rose Bar is a very famous place in Pools City, but this reputation is not very good, it is one of the best places in Pools City, and it is a place for all the gentlemen to entertain.
Ryan just glanced at the exterior of the bar for a moment and walked towards the bar's door.
In front of the door of the bar, there is a multi-meter-long corridor made of wooden shelves wrapped with blue roses, and when you look through the corridor, the bar inside is very dark, similar to the bar of the previous life. On the edge of the corridor stood four waiters in uniform and with a smile on their faces.
Ryan approached the door, and was thinking about how to get in, when he saw a man walking out of the corridor, looking hurried.
Ryan saw that this person was Bentley's attendant.
The attendant didn't notice the oncoming Ryan at all, and hurriedly passed by Ryan's side.
Ryan stopped, and suddenly his heart fluttered, and then he turned and followed his follower, trying to find out the truth about Yaseline's death from his follower.
The attendant walked very fast, as if he was in a hurry to do something, completely unaware that someone was following him.
After a few moments, the follower turned away from the street and turned into an alley, and Ryan hurriedly followed. I saw the attendant turning left and right in the empty alley, which was very familiar. Ryan was afraid that he would lose the other party, so he hurriedly ran forward and narrowed the distance between the two.
At this time, the attendant heard the footsteps behind him, immediately stopped, turned around and saw a large man with a burden and a heavy sword on his back, and his whole body armed ran towards him.
The attendant was taken aback, he thought he had met a robber, only to see him scream, turn around and run desperately.
However, when the attendant turned to look at Ryan, Ryan had already made up his mind. I saw Ryan reach out and pull out the heavy sword from behind his back, and shouted: "Don't run." Then he ran forward at great speed to chase his follower.
After running a dozen steps, Ryan caught up with his follower, and he flew up and kicked the running follower's vest.
The attendant screamed, his body flew out, and he fell heavily on the ground a few meters away, and then rolled forward.
This is still the result of Ryan knowing that the other party is just an ordinary person and does not use much strength. Otherwise, the attendant may die on the spot. But after the attendant was kicked by this kick, a stream of blood still spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The attendant didn't have time to get up from the ground, but he just sat up with his upper body when he saw Ryan's heavy sword pointed at his throat.
Suddenly, the follower was distracted, and his teeth chattered and shouted: "Don't kill me, I'll give you all the money." ”
Apparently, the henchmen took Ryan like a robber to rob, especially in this kind of empty alley.
At this time, Ryan seemed to regard his follower as the murderer of Yatherine, he stared at his follower with vicious eyes, that look was almost murderous, extremely terrifying, and the heavy sword in his hand seemed to be about to be stabbed out at any moment.
The attendant was even more afraid, but he still mustered up the courage to beg for mercy: "I'll give you all the money, don't kill me, I still have a sick mother to support at home." ”
