Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The princess looked at the old lady: "Really?"

    The old lady nodded slowly: "Although my grandma was not convicted as a criminal, after this case was disclosed in the newspaper, there was an uproar in our hometown. At that time, my father was only three years old. As the son of a murderer, he was forced to fight with me.  My grandfather left his hometown. My father passed away a week ago. Before he died, he said that the biggest regret in his life is that he has been labeled as a child of a murderer in his heart all his life. I sorted out my belongings and found that my father spent a lot of time and energy investigating the case.  .From the information my father gathered, I don't think my grandma is a murderer."

    Liang Xi said: "My reasoning is that your grandma is not the murderer, but that doesn't mean I'm right. I can't find a single piece of evidence to prove whether I'm right or wrong. You just want a comforting answer and don't care about the truth.  "

    The old lady replied: "Yes, thank you." Thank you very solemnly.  The reasoning of Liang Xi, Anthony and House may not be correct, but there is no contradiction in their reasoning.  The truth has never been known, the old lady has no idea of ??pursuing the truth, she needs an explanation, an explanation that can explain that her grandma is not the murderer.

    So the case ended, the butler reappeared, and Hansen left with the old lady.  Before leaving, Hansen told the five people that everyone can live in the castle for a day, and they can use the wishing gold coins at will before the dinner party ends tomorrow night.

    As for how many wishing gold coins everyone gets or deducts in the end, this is a secret.

    Soon after everyone returned to their residences, the butler visited everyone alone.  Liang Xi got two wishing gold coins.  Now Liang Xi has a total of 5 gold coins and 5 silver coins in his hands

    After breakfast the next morning, Anthony played archery, House took a walk by the sea, the princess rode a horse, the prince accompanied the princess to play, Liang Xi and the butler went to the meeting room on the second floor of the main castle, and he wanted to use the wishing gold coins.

    The meeting room has an oval conference table and a closed cubicle.  After confirming that Liang Xi wanted to use the wishing gold coins, the butler indicated that Liang Xi could make requests or ask questions.

    Liang Xi took out the first gold coin from the small cloth bag, glanced around, and pushed it along the table to the housekeeper: "The relationship between my adoptive father John and Skull and Bones."

    The butler smiled. He knew that Liang Xi would ask questions about John. The butler put away the gold coins and said, "Does Mr. Liang still remember Earl Davis?"

    Liang Xi nodded. It was a case John asked him to handle when he had just graduated from university.  After the death of Earl Davis, his will disappeared.

    The butler said: "The Earl of Davis and the Earl of Hansen are the two main members of the UK in the European Skull and Bones, and there are only these two major members in the UK. Earl Davis and John are old friends. John is not an official member of the European Skull and Bones.  Members, staff and members, but expert employees. Skull and Bones cannot bind John, and John has an obligation to keep Skull and Bones confidential. In short, Skull and Bones will contact John when John is needed, and John decides according to his own wishes  Do you accept the commission from the Skull and Bones Society?"

    The steward said: "In the past ten years, John has accepted seven commissions from Skull and Bones, and John has completed five of them, with a total remuneration of 1.2 million pounds. The unfinished commission is a treasure map, and there is another commission  To investigate Angela."

    The European Skull and Bones Society was quite shocked by John's murder. They handed over the commission to John. The employer did not know who would investigate Angela.  John also doesn't know who the employer is.  For this reason, the European Skull and Bones launched an investigation against the employer and confirmed that the employer did not kill John.

    The housekeeper said: "I can't tell you who the employer is. I hope you believe us. We have confirmed the employer's information very carefully. He does not have the mentality to kill John. At the same time, he is not capable of providing the resources needed to kill John. The above is my  Are you satisfied with the answer to your question?"

    Liang Xi asked: "How can I be sure that you are telling the truth?"

    The butler replied: "Skull and Bones is an intelligence agency, and reputation is the most basic condition for survival. Or do you think that the rich and powerful are fools, and they will trust an organization without credibility? Furthermore, the reputation of Skull and Bones is the most important thing for Skull and Bones."  Professional ethics, under the constant supervision of all key members, I believe that no one can hold the Skull and Bones flag as a liar."

    Liang Xi took out another gold coin and pushed it over: "Chameleon, Thresh, what kind of team is it?"

    The butler was stunned, picked up the gold coin and looked at it for a while: "I'm afraid there is no exact answer to this question, only a vague one. If you need it, I can contact the earl for consent. Because someone bought this information, I don't know if the other party  Bought out the information."

    Liang Xi asked: "Do you need to double the information to buy out?"

    The steward replied: "Super double."

    Liang?, it¡¯s okay, hang up.  "

    Bobby: "What happened to you?"

    Liang Xi: "It's okay, just to test whether you are happy or not."

    Bobby was sullen: "Ten million? Who do you look down on?"

    Liang Xi: "Okay, okay, thank you."

    Bobby: "Why are you testing me?"

    Liang Xi hung up the phone: "Damn it." It's really long-winded, I just want to tell the housekeeper that if I really care about money so much, I can get it.

    Liang Xi took care of the housekeeper and said: "The gold coin is not mine, but John's. Although I can dispose of the inheritance, John did not give me the last words of the gold coin. I have deducted 500,000 pounds from John for my mother."

    The housekeeper didn't finish speaking for a long time, and asked: "Mr. Liang, are you sure you donate all 2.49 million to charities related to children?"

    Liang Xi nodded: "OK."

    The steward persuaded: "Would you consider leaving 5 silver coins? Maybe next time you are invited, you can earn your own gold coins."

    Liang Xi replied: "To be honest, I don't have much interest in the blood moon invitation. In fact, it is really meaningless. As for the desert island case this time, I can completely fabricate various possibilities. I just saw through the old lady's  Identity, discussed with House and Anthony, and chose a route that the old lady was happy with and let us earn the most gold coins. There is no hard evidence, and with our detective brains, we can guess a route to the black hole."

    Liang Xi added: "It's not that I look down on you, your level is too low, too amateurish."

    This is the truth about the deserted island case.  There is no real truth, only the truth believed by those who have the right to decide the outcome.  If the ironclad evidence deduces that No. 3 is the murderer, Liang Xi will not get two gold coins.

    The setting of the opponent is correct, but the strength of the opponent is insufficient, and the clues given are too few, leaving room for Liang Xi and others to make up random things.  Liang Xi judged that the old lady just wanted an answer, and deduced from the evidence that only girl No. 3 had offspring.  So Liang Xi started everything from the standpoint of overthrowing No. 3 as the murderer.  Let alone whether things are done well or not, the boss must be happy.

    The housekeeper was speechless, and after a long time said: "If you have the opportunity, please invite Mr. Liang to see the real blood moon invitation."

    Liang Xi expressed his goodwill: "Let's talk again when I have a chance. I am very grateful for your hospitality." He thanked the hospitality, but he just looked down on the content of Blood Moon's invitation

    Walking out of the main castle, the princess in equestrian clothes passed by not far away and raised her whip to show respect to Liang Xi. Liang Xi politely responded to the courtesy of a London gentleman, pretending to have a hat, took off his hat, and bent sideways.  The princess laughed when she saw it, lifted the helmet with two fingers, and pushed the horse aside.  Thresh, the little tailed prince behind the princess, is going crazy, isn't that funny?  You didn't laugh at ten jokes you told yourself, but why did you laugh when someone took a hat?  No taste, no wonder you are a princess, you deserve to be a princess.

    Prince Thresh smiled charmingly at Liang Xi, Liang Xi casually raised his hand, without even seeing him walking a hundred meters away and shooting Anthony.  There is no need for etiquette between men, right? Are you annoying?  Thresh was very angry, and was even more curious about what wishes and information Liang Xi had bought, because Thresh saw the butler handing over a bag of gold coins to the security guard at the entrance of the main building, and the security guard put the gold coins into a portable safe.

    The housekeeper took the bag to explain that Liang Xi had used up all the gold coins, which was not in line with the character of ordinary people.  Ordinary people will keep five silver coins, so they can try their luck next time.  But Thresh thinks that this is Liang Xi whose brain circuit is different from others.  Or say that geniuses are often mentally ill.  If a genius only dares to follow the path of ordinary people, he will never succeed.  Pooh!  Genius shit, I'm a genius.

    Anthony concentrated on drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, watching the target with the telescope erected beside him.  The bow he used is called the Welsh longbow, which is the standard weapon of the famous English longbowman.  The longbowman shoots parabolicly, with high shooting frequency and long range, which has great advantages in the battle where the dense formation was the main battle formation at that time.  In the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, British longbowmen were like the nightmare of French cavalry.

    The longbow has many advantages, such as not needing to wear heavy armor, saving equipment money, and being highly mobile.  The longbow has a long range, a rate of fire of up to 12 arrows per minute, and strong penetrating power.  There is only one disadvantage, and the requirements for longbowmen are so high that the longbow is eventually eliminated by the musket.  At that time, the data of the longbow was better than that of muskets, but muskets had an advantage: muskets had very low requirements for musketeers, which meant that Britain could manufacture musketeers in large quantities.
