Chapter 445

"How about, have you found any clues?"The five people who died last night did not move away , but placed side by side in a large room at the back of the hotel. Three nobles, two officials in charge of documenting the negotiations. The two scribes among them were nothing more than that, although they had some status, of course they could not mention on equal terms with the three nobles. Regardless of its impact, even the treatment of death. These two record officials are very likely to be buried here, but the bodies of these nobles will soon be put into luxurious coffins, and then transported back to the capital as quickly as possible to be buried in the cemeteries of their respective families.
"I'm not Conan..."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing...except for the sureness that Assassin was brutal enough. ." Muttered, Tang En looked at the wounds of the five corpses, that is, the fatal knife at the neck, and simply shook the head.
Philip also pinched the bridge of his nose, and said quite distressedly: "I can't think of a motive, there was no sound last night, and now there is no clue... You have seen the waiter just now, know how many times. Personal rooms are together. I feel that Assassin simply has no goals, just come out in the middle of the night with a knife, and then randomly choose a few rooms, while the people inside are asleep, go in and simply behead with a knife... tsk tsk! "
The nodded who agreed, Tang En actually felt a similar feeling in his heart, and then he pondered for a while, and said, "The methods of these people, well, are somewhat similar to the black-clothing man who ambushed us last night."
Philip was stunned: "Uh, do you mean this is a group of people? I went to ambush you first, and then came here to kill these people?"
"The time is not the same. There's no conflict, right?" Tang En finally glanced at the fierce and sharp knife on the neck of the corpse, and then thought about the fight with the black-clothing man last night, nodded, and reached out to lift the white cloth.
"Then the matter is complicated." Philip scratched his hair and pointed to the corpse on the far right, "I know your guess, in fact, Sir Ronald and the others have similar thoughts... ...but this one is firmly on the traditional aristocracy's side, and now he's been killed...Simpson almost got into a fight with Ronald this morning, and it doesn't look like a fake."
This is the truth. After both the secret agency and the nobles were attacked, in addition to doubting each other, they turned the rest of their attention on Simpson, a group of traditional nobles with impure motives. But now there is a traditional aristocrat among the dead, which is a bit confusing. This is a real nobleman, so there is no possibility of bitterness.
"It's actually not that complicated..." Tang En was about to say something when, at the door, the black clothed old man, the innkeeper, came in with an embarrassed expression and said, "Sir Philip, be on guard. The people in the hall will come to examine the remains."
Tang En stopped Philip's intention to send the other party away: "Let's go, there's nothing to see, let's go out and talk about it."
Outside the door is the promenade on the second floor. From a distance, I saw the group of guard cavalry walking towards this side, looking at each other. Tang En glanced at the two cavalrymen in the team without a trace, and touched his nose. , go up the stairs in the opposite direction.
The black clothed old man didn't follow this time, and was standing at the door of the room diligently waiting for the cavalry to arrive. Obviously, in his heart now, the role of the guard cavalry is much greater than that of the two ignorant nobles.
The two of them disappeared at the corner of Tang En or the stairs, Bowen looked back, frowned, and pulled the black clothed old man beside him, "Who were those two people just now?"
"Ah? Oh, one is Sir Philip, and the other... um, he's more modest, but he should be an aristocrat." The black clothed old man didn't care, he replied casually, and then bowed to the cavalry Captain, "Please, Please, the bodies of the nobles who were killed last night are here."
Bowen rubbed his nose, paused for a moment, and finally shrugged into the room.
…
at the stairs.
Philippe asked as he descended the stairs: "What's your plan next?"
"Haha, of course it's impossible to tell you about this nobleman." Tang En joked, Then he pinched his chin, "Actually, we are fine here. After all, we are in a dark place. The ambush last night was also because of a traitor. On the contrary, you are different. Your goal is too obvious, I guess. That group of people will attack you again."
"That makes sense." Philip raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded agreed. Tang En moved in his heart and glanced over, "hehe, you don't seem to be nervous at all?"
Laughed up, "haha, I'm an idler, who will attack me, it's completely worthless... ..." Seeing Tang En's faint smile, Philip reluctantly sighed and said, "Okay, okay, my situation is special, as long as the other party doesn't go crazy, they won't attack me."
"I guessed it earlier, um, you won't be a prince of Titus, right?"
"Eh?" Covering his forehead, "Please, although that kind of status is really good. But...the king Your Majesty is approaching ninety years old, and the youngest princes are middle-aged uncles. Which round will you be on me?"
"I said earlier, I was still thinking about kidnapping you, and the negotiation would be smoother."
"..." Philip grinned, his face speechless.
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from outside, and then Alex, who had a relationship with Tang En, strode in with a few drenched with blood prey and walked in. Behind him, there is still the strong and thin guard steward.
"Hey, it's Philip, who is this?" Alex was about to turn to the right corridor after entering, but when he looked up and saw the two people on the stairs, he greeted with a little doubt.
Philip reached out and introduced each other: "Oh, this is Viscount Jack, a friend I met before when I came to the north. Well, Jack, this is count Alex."
"It's an honor. I know you, Sir Alex." Tang En greeted with nobility.
"Oh, honor, honor." Alex casually nodded, then waved a few prey in his hand: "Well, it's not ordinary for you to be friends with this kid Philip, it's worth getting to know Come on, how about going to my room for a drink and roasting and eating these beasts?"
Tang En was a little stunned, this guy is too familiar. Philip on the side took a step forward, shook his head and shied away: "Next time, we're going to go out to do something now." After a sentence, he pointed to the prey and changed the subject lightly, "This is, just hit?"
"Haha, that's right." Alex didn't care about being rejected, and shook his prey with a smile, "What kind of viscount in the city insists on inviting me to the hunting ground, this is my half-day's harvest, why? Like, not bad, haha..."
It's really a Top Grade...Tang En's eyes flickered slightly and he touched his nose. The person here just died, but it didn't affect his interest in going out hunting at all.
Simply said a few words, that Alex looked a little impatient, and soon took the two accompanying attendants to wave goodbye, and turned into the corridor on the right side of the first floor. It seemed that he was really impatient with roasting his prey.
After Tang En bowed to send the other party away, he turned his head and said with a smile: "This Alexis is interesting."
Philip nodded: "Yeah, don't look at his title He's not high, but he's a figure in the capital. Well, it's interesting to talk about his origin..." Probably seeing that Tang En was a little curious about this Alex, Philip said as he descended the stairs, "His family is Marquis title, but that patriarch is really unlucky, his wife and lover have been raised all his life, but he has no children. Seeing that this family is about to die when he is here. But when he accidentally inspected the farm in the territory, he found a man named Ya The young man of Lux looks exactly the same as when he was young, and if I ask again, the mother of this young man is actually his maid back then!"
"Ha, you know, maids, they are basically the sons of nobles. My bed partner. Even if you are old and fading, or if you make some mistakes and get kicked out of the family castle, you will not be able to marry again. After the marquis patriarch confirmed that Alex is his son after investigation, he was ecstatic. Immediately put him into the castle, and asked the king for the title of count as quickly as possible."
"Well, of course it was a pleasure to step into the upper class, but Alex was already an adult at that time. , Some nobles simply can't adapt to their habits, and they are slow to learn, but they are ridiculed a lot. But he also has his own stubborn temperament, so he simply shows people a reckless image. If you dare to laugh at me, I will scold you. If you can't scold you, just punch your fist. If you can't beat him, then fight again next time you meet... Over time, he has become an aberration in the capital's aristocratic circle. , but after all, I don't dare to mess with him face to face."
Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help smacking his lips and sighed: "tsk tsk, he is indeed a character!" It is not difficult to be a different kind of day, It is rare to be a lifetime, and it also makes others have to accept it.
"Who said no." Philip also agreed, and then shrugged, "He came to monitor the family business this time, but because it involves the mines in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, it can only be found in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. I'll wait for the negotiation to end here."
Tang En nods and doesn't care much, since he has confirmed the situation here, he will naturally go out and discuss with Joah and the others. Of course, let's start planning first. Revenge is impossible. This is not to say that they no longer doubt these nobles, but simply do not want to be used as a tool by others.
As he was about to leave the hotel door, Tang En patted his forehead and turned around and said, "By the way, Sir Ronald, I have to ask you to run an errand. Well, there is no need to convince them. , just tell us about the incident that we were ambushed last night."
"Understood." Philip nodded to show understanding, and then rubbed his palms as if thinking of something, "hehe, where is Joah? ..."
"Oh? Haven't given up yet?"
"Ha, how is that possible."
Tang En indifferently spread his hands: "Okay, I'll help Look at me."
"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 stand guard and steal!"
