At night, towards the early hours of the morning, the snow in the sky over the capital finally slowed down. ++£«£«
After three or four hours of the banquet at the theater in the city, it was almost coming to an end.
As mentioned before, this is just a small celebration banquet. After all, the crown has not yet been truly placed on the head of the eldest prince, so it is not appropriate to stay up all night and celebrate the whole city. Celebrate a little, taste it a little bit, and keep a low profile to build up your character is the way to go.
Of course, it¡¯s just like the unspoken rule that the big shots are always the last to arrive when they appear. When you officially leave the venue, you naturally have to let the big shots go first. This is not entirely due to the consciousness of privilege, but the most important thing is practical needs. After all, the arrival of the big shots also symbolizes the official start of the banquet, and we can't wait for those latecomers. The same is true for leaving the scene. With these big shots personally in charge, the people below will not let go. The young men and women who came here with the intention of hunting, lusting and stealing were even more unwilling in their hearts. They wished they could send these big shots away early
? ? Okay, no more gossip. The biggest person in the field right now is naturally the eldest prince who is about to ascend the throne and be crowned. So, when the eldest prince proposed to drink the last glass of wine in his hand, everyone in the venue stood up and gathered together with understanding. They all raised their wine glasses and wanted to send the eldest prince off before he left But at this moment, the door at the entrance suddenly opened. Being pushed away hastily, several figures hurriedly ran in,
The nobles subconsciously turned their heads to look, and couldn't help but be stunned. Among these figures were theater guards, guards from a certain family, and a familiar figure with a fat figure, who was the director of the Capital Police Department.
problem occurs?
" Seeing the sweaty head of the security department coming to the side of the eldest prince and whispering urgently to an old nobleman of high status, all the nobles in the room couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. Subconsciously, something is wrong.
At this time. "What - what did you say? Say it again!" A shocked and furious roar suddenly echoed through the hall. Hearing the sound, everyone turned around subconsciously, and saw an old nobleman in a luxurious robe and a long curly wig whose expression suddenly changed. He looked at the guards beside him with disbelief, as if he wanted to eat people. appearance.
"Duke Mitchell?"
"Did something happen to the Oglair family?"
"Haha, could it be that another bandit broke into their family manor?"
It has to be said that since the news of Wen Silin betraying the school and assassinating his senior brother came out, the Oglair family has gone on the road of engendering hatred and never returned. The reputation is completely bad. It probably won't take a few years to get over it again. But now looking at the ugly look on the face of Grand Duke Mitchell, the contemporary patriarch of the Oglair family, the nobles were naturally surprised and could not help but secretly gloat at his misfortune.
But before the ridicule gradually spread, everyone turned to shock as the guard gritted his teeth and reported.
"Master Wen Silin was assassinated!"
??Deng Deng Deng, once again confirming that he heard correctly, Duke Mitchell took a few steps back as if he was struck by lightning, his old body like a willow tree swaying in the wind.
With a bang, the atmosphere in the venue instantly rose. All the nobles looked at each other. Everyone couldn't help but look shocked and talk a lot.
?Said before. Wen Silin, who was born in the lineage of sword gods, has no doubt about his attainments in strength. Therefore, although there are countless people in the capital who are not ashamed of Wen Silin's character and hope that he will die tragically on the streets one day, everyone knows that it is very difficult to successfully assassinate Wen Silin. But now, this seemingly impossible thought has suddenly come true
Of course, shock is still a shock, this is not the point now. After all, the world is huge and there are many masters. Wen Silin is not like his former master Wu Ding, who cannot truly be ranked number one in the world, so being assassinated is not something that cannot be accepted.
The key point now is that Wensilin and even the Oglair family have made it clear that they have joined the eldest prince's side, but now they are easily assassinated, still in the imperial capital, or at a sensitive time when the eldest prince is hosting a celebration banquet for his upcoming coronation To put it seriously, this is clearly a slap in the face of the eldest prince!
After thinking about the inside story, all the nobles couldn't help but feel tight in their hearts when they looked at the eldest prince whose expression turned gloomy after hearing the news. At this moment, the shaky Duke Mitchell suddenly pushed away the support beside him, pointed at a certain place with his trembling arms, and screamed angrily, "Philip - did you do it?"
"No, it must be you! You were the one who blocked my son from entering the theater It turns out that this is what you had in mind! This is murder! A planned murder!"
Amidst the echoing roars, all the nobles were stunned when they heard the words. Everything is afraid of consequences leading to causes, not to mention that this matter is not complicated. The brief conflict between Philip and Wen Silin outside the theater door was known to everyone present. In this case, the logic of not letting Wen Silin enter the theater and taking the opportunity to assassinate him outside makes sense and is reasonable. However, in publicWhen he followed Duke Mitchell's arm and looked at the person involved, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
"Ah? Whowho is calling my name?" Philip, who was leaning on a wooden table filled with food at one side of the hall, looked up blankly, his face flushed, and his eyes were drunk, "Are youuh, asking me to drink? Is it ¡Come on! Let¡¯s do it¡¡±
While shaking his head and trying to stay awake, Philip staggered to grab the wine glass on the table. After several attempts, he finally succeeded, but most of the wine in the glass had already been spilled. In the end, I didn¡¯t know who I was toasting to, so I raised my head and sighed, which was quite satisfying
There is no explanation, but Philip¡¯s drunk cat appearance is the best explanation. An aristocratic lady frowned and looked at Duke Mitchell, and couldn't help but argue: "Your Excellency, we are very sorry for Wen Silin's death, and we can understand your mood at the moment. But this has nothing to do with Sir Philip. He stayed in the hall at night and never left. Everyone present can prove that how could he go out to assassinate Wen Silin?"
"Yes, we can testify."
"What the Duke said makes no sense. Sir Philip stayed with us at the beginning of the banquet, and later he kept looking for people to drink with. He had no time to assassinate Wen Silin"
"Yes, we have all seen it. Does the Duke think that everyone present is blind and is giving false testimony"
¡¡
At this moment, the charm of Philip's imperial capital Hualang was unmistakable. All the ladies and noble ladies were filled with righteous indignation and rushed to stand up to testify. The meaning of protecting shortcomings was obvious.
Duke Mitchell obviously didn't expect this kind of outrageous rhythm. His old face turned green and white, then red. He opened his mouth several times and was choked back. He almost didn't hold his breath directly. In the end, he could only roar with blue veins on his neck. : "He can send someone!"
"Then who did he send? Did you see it with your own eyes, Mr. Duke?"
"I¡¡"
"You didn't see it. In that case, why do you think that Sir Philip did this? You are slandering!"
Never try to argue with a woman, that's the truth. What's more terrifying than this truth is trying to argue with a group of women.
Duke Mitchell obviously didn't realize this, or failed to understand its seriousness, so after failing to say a few words, Gorgeous was killed instantly, and Xiangjin was instantly defeated The situation was so miserable that even the eldest prince on the side couldn't stand it and gave him a helping hand.
"Okay, okay. The Duke made a blunder. Please be patient, please be patient" After a few words of persuasion with a group of male nobles who were smiling bitterly, the scene was slightly stabilized. Immediately, the eldest prince frowned and looked at the fat security director who was constantly wiping cold sweat, "Has Wen Silin's body been found?"
"Yes, it was found in Sir Wenslin's own carriage. The only fatal wound was between the eyebrows, with a knife. The assassin was definitely a master. The time of the murder was about three hours ago, and the place of the murder should be in an alley on Baker Street. ."
"Where is the murderer? Who is the murderer?" Duke Mitchell, who had regained his composure, asked anxiously and sadly.
"Um" After hesitating for a moment, the director of the security department began to sweat again on his forehead, and replied bravely, "The incident happened suddenly. Sir Wenslin's body has just been discovered here. We haven't gone to the scene of the incident to investigate carefully. All aspects of the incident are We haven¡¯t had time to compile and analyze the information It takes time to determine the identity of the murderer.¡±
After a pause, he secretly glanced at the eldest prince, whose expression suddenly darkened. The head of the security department didn't even have time to wipe away the cold sweat, and quickly added, "But now there are clues. The Dragon Cavalry Brigade patrolling the area where the incident occurred has discovered A suspected target, and in the ensuing confrontation, he killed the other person on the spot"
"Who is the suspected murderer?"
"This, I haven't had time to ask yet"
"Trash! What are you doing standing here stupidly? Why don't you go and call the insider!"
"Yes Yes Yes¡¡"
