Arthur was aware of the check fraud case.

I also know that it is rumored that the old Duke of Yanbao seems to have died depressed because of this incident.

However, Arthur didn't take it seriously.

There are too many such rumors every year.

Everyone listens to it as a joke at the cooking table.

Judging from Delong's suicide note, it seems that the old Duke of Yanbao really died because of the 'check fraud case'!

What exactly happened at the time, Arthur didn't know.

But he knew that one of the old lion's former financial advisors was to pull Yanbao into the whirlpool of fighting.

For this reason, the other party did not hesitate to use his life to pour dirty water on the old count of Nanlos!

Think about it!

What happens when this suicide note comes to light?

There is a high probability that Swallow Castle will cut off trade with Nanlos first.

This is like a bolt from the blue for Nanlos, who is extremely dependent on the port, and then, the slightest mistake will start a war - and the old lion will surely let it break out.

Because, Yanbao does not belong to Nanjun.

But South Los belongs to South County.

When Yanbao and Nanlos were at war, the old lion had too many ways to send troops to Nanlos.

At that point, everything will be over.

'Is that old lion really so charming?' ’

'Can people really forget their lives?' ’

Or did you use some unknown means? ’

Arthur was in a state of flux, unsure of which one it might be.

However, there was one thing that Arthur was sure of.

And that's—

Elon and Delon have a relationship, and there must be a private deal.

Only in this way can Delong grasp the timing so accurately!

Even......

Today's death is the follow-up to yesterday's Pine Street incident!

The two are so similar that they can be said to be in the same vein, both of them first distort the facts, and then use public opinion to build momentum to oppress the countess of Nanlos - this skillful method has to make Arthur suspect that it is the work of one person.

This person may be Delon.

It could also be the man behind DeLong.

However, no matter who it is, they all have malicious intentions towards him.

Because, he sabotaged the other party's plan for Pine Street.

Imagine, if the plan of Pine Street succeeds, coupled with today's 'fake check case', I am afraid that South Los will fall into internal and external troubles in an instant.

And it was because of his destruction of Pine Street that Jenkin was induced to appear at 2 Kirk Street - the other party wanted to pull him into the game again so that he could be killed.

Just now, Delong opened his mouth and invited him to play cards, which is naturally a hidden murderous intention!

As for Elon, who has a deal with the other party?

In the eyes of the other party, Elon is the character who must be abandoned, and it is the beginning of this incident, so he ignored it completely and let the other party be arrested.

Is this what playing finance is?' ’

'My heart is so dirty! ’

Arthur's brows furrowed slightly, and after his brain began to sort out the known information, he began to analyze the pros and cons.

The point, naturally, is still Delong.

The other party is one of the financial advisors of the old lion in the inner bay, even if he has retired, as long as he enters Nanlos, he will definitely be stared at by the tigress.

DeLong himself knows this all too well.

Therefore, if Delon wants to complete the death in the true sense, he must find a way to drag the countess, and drag the Nanlos family, and drag all the help of the countess.

Only in this way can the dead room be smoothly exerted and fermented.

That's the best news for him.

Because, if Delon wants to hold these people back, he must do his best, and I am afraid that he will have to use all the shadows that have been planted in Nanlos for many years.

It was only when these shadows of Nanlos were exposed one after another that they could really attract the countess.

Other than that, there are remnants of the 'Rat Council'.

But a figure of Isidore's level will not be used against a small person like him, and should be placed in a position where the other party is needed more.

Therefore, what was sent to deal with him should be some leftovers.

For example: the mysterious side person who fought yesterday.

Plus a few helpers or a mystery or two at most.

Thinking of this, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

He can still handle it!

Immediately, Arthur gathered his thoughts and looked at the room again.

At this time, the middle-aged butler was already about to endure the nausea and enter it-

"Wait!"

Arthur stopped with a serious look on his face, and he took the lead in standing in the doorway.

"Be careful, 'Anna' has told me about evil spirits!"

Arthur said this, and his heart was already silent.

‘Hei！ ’

Immediately, a faint sound of footsteps appeared in the room.

In the bloody room, except for a corpse, footsteps suddenly sounded, startling the people around.

The middle-aged butler who led the way was already pale.

So when Arthur motioned for everyone to stand back, the middle-aged butler was the first to step back.

And then there was Scott.

And then there was Maltz.

Everyone retreated from the door of the guest room on the second floor to the hall on the first floor, and Maltz quickly ordered the panicked attendants and servants in the hall to quickly move away

Arthur glanced behind him, made sure everyone was downstairs, and then looked into the room again.

DeLong or the people behind Delong have arranged it for so long, and they will definitely not let the first scene go wrong, which means that the first scene is definitely normal, it is worth checking by everyone, and there will be no traps.

And this made Arthur's behavior bold.

He first folded the suicide note with the [Hand of Nothingness] and put it into the [Chest of Atos].

Then, I looked at the bloody corpse.

The other party is secretly killing, Arthur will naturally not be polite.

People who are kind-hearted and tolerant will choose to forgive completely.

It's just that a simple and kind person will probably choose to send the other person to God for forgiveness.

Arthur was different.

He chose to raise the other party.

When the [Hand of Nothingness] took out two bundles of explosives from the [Athos Box] and placed them directly behind Delon's corpse, Arthur had a solemn face, his right hand skillfully and rhythmically drew unknown patterns, and his left hand raised his index finger and middle finger in front, chanting in a low and fast voice.

"The starry night is eternal, the long night sleeps peacefully, the darkness that lingers, the sound of the red in the sky, resounding among the dead—the evil spirits retreat!"

Calculating the lead time, Arthur stepped back and pointed into the room.

Rumble!

In the explosion, the guest room of Villa No. 14 Shiratori Street spewed flames from the windows, and most of the walls where the windows were located were directly gone.

Sawdust, masonry, and flesh were scattered in all directions.

When the smoke cleared, the black figure stared at the dilapidated room.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, staring at the black figure, and when they found that the solemnity on the face of this figure dissipated, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Arthur, was it just now?"

"Jengin's evil spirit!"

"Because, in the 'fake check case' back then, Jengin was already resentful of His Excellency DeLong, and when Elon used the name of His Excellency DeLong to lure him into a trap, this hatred reached the extreme - why did Jengin leave his hiding lair yesterday?

Most likely, Elon told him that His Excellency DeLong was still investigating the case and was about to find you.

In fact, His Excellency DeLong really came here for the case of that year.

Otherwise, it would not have aroused Jenkin's resentment, and even contributed to the evil spirit. ”

Arthur looked at the young reporter and offered a plausible explanation.

"I see!"

"No wonder His Excellency Delong, after retiring in Neiwan, refused the Grand Duke's retention, and returned to Nanlos again, originally for the case of that year."

The young reporter suddenly began to write quickly.

As a journalist, he must report well on a dedicated Excellency like DeLong.

Arthur, however, made a gesture to Maltzby without a trace.

Suddenly, Maltz was taken aback.
