"How's it going, have you found any clues?"

The five people who died last night did not move away, but were placed side by side in a large room at the back of the hotel. Three nobles, two officials in charge of recording negotiations. The two chroniclers are not bad, although they also have some status, but of course they cannot be compared with the three nobles. Regardless of the impact, even if it is the treatment of death. Nine times out of ten, the two chroniclers will be buried here, but the bodies of these nobles will soon be put into luxurious coffins and transported back to the capital as quickly as possible to be buried in their respective family cemeteries.

"I'm not Conan......"

"What?"

"Oh, nothing...... Nothing was found except that the assassin was certain to be brutal enough. Muttering a word, Don looked at the wounds of the five corpses, that is, the fatal stab in the neck, and simply shook his head.

Philip also pinched the bridge of his nose and said in distress: "I can't think of a motive, there was no sound last night, and now there is no clue...... You've seen the waiter just now, and you know that these rooms are together. I now feel that the assassin has no goal at all, just to take a knife out in the middle of the night and swing around, and then choose a few rooms at random, and while the people inside are asleep, go in and simply behead with a knife...... Tsk!"

Nodding approvingly, Tang En actually felt a similar feeling in his heart, and then he groaned and said, "The methods of these people, well, are somewhat similar to the black-clothed people who ambushed us last night. ”

Philip was stunned: "Well, you mean this is a group of people, who first went to ambush you, and then came here to kill these people?"

"There's no conflict in time, is it?" Don Eun looked at the fierce knife in the neck of the corpse, and then thought about the fight with the man in black last night. Nodding. Reach out and lift the white cloth on.

"Then it's complicated. Philip scratched his hair. Pointing to the corpse on the far right, "I know your speculation, but Sir Ronald has a similar idea in his mind...... But this one was firmly on the side of the traditional aristocracy, and now he was killed...... Simpson almost got into a fight with Ronald this morning, which doesn't look like a fake. ”

This is true, after the secret services and the nobility were attacked, they were not only suspicious of the other, but also set their remaining eyes on the Simpsons, a group of traditional nobles with impure motives. But now among the dead is a traditional aristocratic one. It's a bit confusing. This is a real aristocrat, so there is no possibility of any bitter meat at all.

"Actually...... it's not that complicated," Don was about to say something, when at the door, the old man in black, who was the innkeeper, came in and saluted with a look of embarrassment, "Sir Philip, the people of the garrison are coming to examine these bodies." ”

Don stopped Philip with the intention of sending the other party away: "Let's go, it's nothing to see, let's go out and talk about it." ”

Outside the door is the corridor on the second floor, and from a distance, I can see the previous group of garrison cavalry walking towards this side, looking at each other on both sides. Tang En glanced at the two cavalrymen in the team without a trace and touched his nose. Head to the stairs in the opposite direction.

The old man in black did not follow this time, and was standing at the door of the room waiting for the arrival of the cavalry. Obviously, in his mind now, the role of the garrison cavalry is much greater than that of these two unknown nobles.

After Don and the two disappeared around the corner staircase, Boris retracted his gaze, frowned, and pulled the old man in black to the side, "Who were those two just now?"

"Oh, one is Sir Philip, the other...... Well, it's more face-to-face, but it should be a nobleman depending on his bearing. The old man in black didn't care, replied casually, and then bowed to the cavalry captain: "Please, please, the remains of the nobles killed last night are here." ”

Bowes rubbed his nose and paused for a moment before Zuihou shrugged his shoulders and walked into the room.

......

Staircase.

Philip asked as he descended the stairs, "What's next for you?"

"Haha, of course it's impossible to tell you about this nobleman. Don made a joke, and then pinched his chin, "Actually, it's okay on our side, after all, we are in the shadows, and the ambush last night was also because of the traitor." On the contrary, you're different, your goals are so obvious that I guess the gang will attack you again. ”

"Makes sense. Philip raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded in agreement. Don's heart moved, and he glanced over, "Hehe, you don't seem to be nervous at all?"

Raised his head and snorted haha, "Haha, I'm an idler, who will attack me, it's completely worthless......" Seeing that Don En kept casting a smile on him, Philip sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, my situation is special, as long as the other party doesn't go crazy, he won't attack me." ”

"I guessed it, well, you can't be a prince of Bran, right?"

"Huh?" Philip opened his mouth, his face full of absurd astonishment, stunned for a moment, and covered his forehead, "Please, although that status is really good." But...... King Bixia is almost ninety years old, and the youngest prince is a middle-aged uncle. ”

"Earlier, I was thinking about whether to kidnap you, and the negotiation would be smoother. ”

"......" Philip grinned, his face speechless.

At this moment, a daxiao sound came from outside, and then Alex, who had a few connections with Tang En, strode in with a few bloody prey, and behind him, he was still the strong and thin guard butler role.

"Hey, it's Philip, who is this?" Alex was about to turn around the corridor after entering, but when he looked up and saw the two people on the stairs, he greeted with a little confusion.

Philip stretched out his hand and introduced each other, "Oh, this is Viscount Jack, a friend I met from the North before. Well, Jack, this is Count Alex. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Sir Alex. Don greeted him with a straight look in accordance with aristocratic etiquette.

"Oh, honor, honor. Alex nodded casually, and then waved a few prey in his hand: "Well, you can make friends with this kid Philip is not an ordinary person, it is worth getting to know." Come on, go to my room and drink, and roast and eat these beasts by the way?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, this product is too familiar. Philip on the side took a step forward, shook his head and shirked, "Next time, we're going to go out to do something now." After a sentence, he pointed to the prey and changed the topic lightly, "This is, just shot?"

"Haha, good. Alex didn't care about being rejected, and shook the prey in his hand with a smile, "What kind of viscount in the city has to invite me to the hunting grounds, this is my harvest for half a day, how about it, not bad, haha......"

It's really a superb...... Don's eyes twinkled slightly, and he touched his nose. The man had just died, but it didn't stop him from going out hunting.

After a few words, Alex looked a little impatient, and soon waved goodbye with the two attendants, and turned into the corridor on the right side of the first floor. It seems that he is indeed impatient to roast his prey.

After Tang En bowed down and sent the other party away, he turned his head and smiled: "This Alex is a bit interesting." ”

Philip nodded: "Yes, don't look at his low title, but he is also a figure in the capital." Well, it's a little interesting to talk about his origin......" Probably seeing that Don was a little curious about this Alex, Philip said as he went down the stairs, "His family is a marquis, but the head of the family is really unlucky, he has a wife and lover all his life, but he has no heirs, and he sees that this family is about to die when he arrives." However, when he visited the farm by chance, he found that a young man named Alex looked exactly like him when he was younger, and when he inquired again, the young man's mother turned out to be his maid!"

"Ha, you know, maid, that's basically the bed companion of the noble heir. Even if you are old and decrepit, or if you make some mistakes and are kicked out of the family castle, you can't remarry. When the marquis confirmed that Alex was his son, the marquis was ecstatic. He was immediately connected to the castle and asked the king for the title of count as quickly as he could. ”

"Well, of course, it is a pleasure to step into high society at once, but Alex was already an adult at that time, and some aristocratic habits could not adapt to it at all, and he was slow to learn, but he was ridiculed a lot. But he also has his own stubborn temperament, so he simply shows a reckless image, if you dare to laugh at me, I will scold you, if you can't scold, you will go straight to the fist, and if you can't fight, you will fight again next time we meet...... Over time, he became an outlier in the aristocratic circle of the capital, neither ganging up nor joining other groups. Although those nobles also continued to laugh at him secretly, they didn't dare to provoke him to his face after all. ”

Hearing this, Don couldn't help but smack his lips and sighed: "Tsk, it's really a character!" It's not difficult to be an alternative for a day, it's rare to be a lifetime, and others have to accept it.

"Who's to say it isn't. Philip agreed, and then shrugged his shoulders, "He came by the way to supervise the family business this time, but because he is involved in the mines in the 100,000 mountains, he can only wait here for the negotiation to end." ”

Tang En nodded, didn't pay much attention to it, since the situation here has been confirmed, the next thing is naturally to go out to discuss with Josia and them, of course, it will not be possible to start planning for revenge in the first place. This is not to say that they no longer suspect these nobles, but simply do not want to be used as guns by others.

As he was about to leave the hotel gate, Donn slapped his forehead and turned around and said, "By the way, Sir Ronald, I'm going to ask you to run errands." Well, there's no need to convince them, just tell us about the ambush we were last night. ”

"Understood. Philip nodded his head in understanding, and then as if he had thought of something, he rubbed his palms, "Hehe, then Josia's ......"

"Oh?

"Hah, how is that possible. ”

Tang En spread his hands indifferently: "Okay, I'll help you look at it." ”

"No, no...... You don't understand what I mean. Philip waved his hand, then straightened his face, and said solemnly, "I just hope you don't steal from yourself!"

“......”
