Chapter 342: Weaving a Web
In the absence of an impossibility of evacuating Mountain Creek City, the aristocratic negotiators did not change out of this somewhat ominous high-end inn after all.
Of course, the guard Liliang has strengthened a lot. Not to mention the status of these nobles, just talk about their titles, and pull out any one, which can completely abuse the situation that a viscount in the north can dominate the town. Therefore, on the periphery of the hotel, the garrison cavalry who received the order had already pulled up layers of defense, almost to the point where it was difficult for birds to enter.
However, Rao was like this, and the uneasiness in the hearts of the nobles continued unabated. At this point, in fact, they all have a bit of a spectrum in their hearts, and the object of suspicion has changed from the gray army that started first to a hostile nobleman.
The traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy are already in the same situation, out of demeanor or something, they can do everything on the surface, but they really don't do anything less to stab the knife behind their backs. Now that there are casualties on both sides, in their hearts, they can be regarded as tearing their faces, so they are naturally more careful. Don't forget, although the hotel is heavily defended nowadays, it is relative to outsiders, and if the nobles inside want to play some tricks, such as bringing some people in, it is really not a difficult task.
It was precisely because of this situation that the nobles became more and more uneasy, but fortunately, in this fear, the day of the second assassination finally passed slowly......
The next day, early in the morning.
Donne, led by Philip, enters the hotel from the outside again.
At first, in order to leave a strong impression of "this is Philip's girl" to the nobles, the woman in Donn's disguise showed a strong sense of presence both in dress and in her own temperament. And this kind of woman, who is similar to the nature of a strong woman, naturally cannot be taken down casually. So yesterday in addition to shopping. Don didn't spend the night at Philip's. Of course. This is also the reason why Don is sure that the murderer will not do it immediately.
Really. After the meeting, Philip whispered that there was nothing unusual last night.
Don nodded, then looked at the tight guards around him for almost three or five days, and said casually, "By the way, Josia asked me to xiexie the clothes you bought her yesterday." ”
"No thanks......" Philip shook his head and sighed with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Alas." If I had given it myself, she wouldn't have asked for it. ”
The corners of Don's mouth curled slightly, but in order to consider the wronged boss around him, he instantly put away his smile again.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, yesterday Don and Philip two big men walked around the street for a long time, and the taste was not enough for outsiders...... Well, you know it's weird, it's very disobedient. But when you go shopping, you naturally have to buy something, and the figure of the woman in Don's disguise is according to Josia. So the bunch of high-end clothes I bought turned out to be all to Josia.
As Philip just said. If this thing was given by him personally, the end would probably be no different from that Huahai confession. But with Donn's hand, the effect is different. Not to mention anything else, the gorgeous clothes that Don is wearing now are the ones Josia picked out with great interest for him to change......
The so-called being a kind person and voting when reading books is ...... Anyway, it is a short hand, whether he is reluctant or not, Don En is now wearing the clothes given by Philip, so naturally he can't gloat and pretend not to hear it, and the two of them stepped into the hotel hall.
It was almost breakfast time, and there were many nobles, sitting on both sides of the hall distinctly, and the atmosphere was a little strange. In such a situation, it is not that the nobles have a good schedule, but because everyone does not dare to be alone now, so even if they are tired, they must follow the group to do activities.
Philip was also nominally a new aristocracy, and the place to eat was naturally on Ronald's side. Don was still very impressed yesterday, so even though the new nobles were a little absent-minded now, they still nodded politely, and remembered Haode even called out the name "Loris".
There are traditional aristocrats sitting on the other side, and everyone naturally doesn't say anything important, and because of the current situation, they don't even feel good about saying something unnutritious. The same was probably the case with the Simpsons, so the scene was very dull.
After about half an hour, breakfast ended. Next, Ronald and his activities were more miscellaneous, those who stayed at the hotel, and those who went out together. No matter what the current situation is, since people are in Shanxi City, they should have to go to the entertainment after all. And in broad daylight, I don't think there will be any problems. As for Simpson's side, as long as it is confirmed that Ronald and they are not getting together to go out to negotiate secretly, they will not follow in a big way, and Zuihou usually does his own thing.
After Philip turned down a few invitations, he led Donn to the back. It's not all about avoiding everyone, it's mainly because Philip's room has changed, and he needs to reinstall the warning mechanism and something.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of rooms in this high-end hotel, and if this noble negotiation team excludes the accompanying cavalry, it is actually not much, only a few dozen people. At first, for convenience, mainly on the side of the traditional aristocracy for supervision, everyone lived together. But now that the two sides have a tendency to tear their faces apart and suspect each other, it is natural that they will not continue to do so. Around the time of last night, the nobles on both sides had chosen to look for a new room, and Zuihou occupied the east and west ends of the second floor of the attic.
Avoiding the waiters who came in to clean up the scraps, the two of them went out of the back door of the front hall, but in an instant, Donn's eyes flashed, and then he turned his head slightly to look at the two waiters who had just passed.
Hehe, these two guys are really all-rounders...... Sighing, Tang En's expression did not change, and he still walked towards the attic in the back.
The two 'waiters' Don just now knew each other, and they were old acquaintances, Bowes and Bernie. It is naturally not unusual to see them here, after all, now that the noble circle of Mountain Creek City already knows what is happening here, in this way, the pressure on the security department is naturally greater. I just don't know if they want to wait for the rabbit or if they realize that the murderer is among these people...... Well, we need to talk about it.
With this in mind, Don entered the rather spectacular attic in front of him.
While going up the wooden staircase, Philip whispered about the situation: "The first floor is basically inhabited by accompanying cavalry now, and it is also divided into two sides, and we and the traditional nobles can basically control half of it. But there are so many people that there won't be any traitors in there, and I guess that's what the Simpson usually rely on to spy on our negotiations. ”
"On the second floor only the nobles and the administrative officers of this negotiation lived, and there were many empty rooms, and we lived in a dozen or so rooms on the easternmost side, and the Simpsons were on the west side, and they could not see each other. Now, see for yourself......"
Although the loft is only two floors, it occupies a very large area, and the whole shape of the building presents an inward arc, a bit like a pair of open wings. So standing in the center, Donn could only see the long corridors on the left and right, and as the arc deepened, he could only faintly see the wall at the bend at the end. Some of them are deep, and although they are brightly lit, they can also give people the feeling of a giant beast opening its bloody mouth to devour everything.
Nodding, Don asked, "So, this middle location is uninhabited now?"
"Not really. Philippi shook his head and pointed to his feet, "On the right side of the center of the first floor, where Alex lives. Well, remember where you first saw him yesterday? He lived there and didn't move. ”
"Didn't he say he was leaving yesterday?" asked Donn, surprised.
"yes, everything is packed. Philip spread his hands, his face a little strange, "At that time we were still resting in the room, and I only heard about it when I came back in the evening, Alex had a bit of a quarrel with Simpson when he passed through the front hall, and Alex seemed to have done it...... Although it didn't work, he was a little forced to get off the stage, and as soon as he got angry, he simply went back to his original place and didn't leave. What a ......."
"Ha, this person ......" Tang En couldn't help but laugh twice when he heard this, and shook his head.
That Aris was neither a traditional aristocrat nor a new aristocracy. It can be said that he was purely passing by to make soy sauce, but now he has stepped into this troubled water for the sake of the battle of will, no wonder Philip is a little speechless. But according to his style, it would be normal to do this.
After saying this, Don walked to the east: "Let's go, let's go to your room first." ”
"Well, you have to give me some snacks about this, if there are any traps, just say hello, I'm not afraid to see cruel scenes. ”
"That's ...... How about burying a few explosive crystals? Of course, I can't guarantee you'll be able to see it!"
