Chapter 10 Princess Louise

With Homik being taken away, the little episode at the entrance of Harrusburg ended, and then Sheriff Feldes and his officers walked into Harrusburg and came to Grand Duke Ferdinand's room. However, there was still a noteworthy detail here, that is, when Sheriff Feldes saw Ferdinand's body still sitting in a chair, he and the police behind him immediately stopped. They took off their hats and bowed deeply to Grand Duke Ferdinand before continuing to walk over.

Obviously, they would do this to respect the Grand Duke Ferdinand. After all, compared to the United States, the fiefdom here in Bermuda is more serious. Because Alsace is the fiefdom of Harrusburg, although it is both Bermuda on the surface, in fact, all public expenses here are borne by the Harrusburg family; in other words, in the past, Sheriff Feldes and his police officers were working with Ferdinand's salary.

According to the concept of the modern state, Sheriff Feldes and the others were all public officials, but according to the concept of fiefdom, they were all servants of Ferdinand.

It is also because of this reason that Sheriff Felders had a little nostalgic relationship, so he risked being fired and acted in the drama with Zhou Ming at the door, and taught Homick a lesson.

After the forensic's preliminary examination and judgment, it was believed that Ferdinand was a natural death after aging and exhaustion of the respiratory system. The forensic hesitated for a moment and said: To be honest, I was very surprised by the situation of Grand Duke Ferdinand, because what he presented me was a very abnormal old attitude. Although he was only in his fifties, his body seemed to be eighty years old. Obviously, he had overdrawn too much vitality. In this case, he could die at any time.

Zhou Ming was not surprised by the forensic's judgment, because Zhou Ming originally thought so. Ferdinand took all the pressure alone and breathed his last breath after overdrawing too much energy.

Zhou Ming then realized that in the past, he couldn't let go of Caitlin's affairs, so he forced himself to hold on. But now, after he pushed Caitlin into his room, he completed his final mission. He felt that he had no regrets anymore, and finally he relaxed and reached the end of his life.

It turns out that he is his death talisman? Zhou Ming thought helplessly.

The forensic doctor also suggested: the current examination is just some surface routine examination. If you want to know the specific cause of death of Grand Duke Ferdinand, you still need to take the body back for further anatomical examination.

Regarding this suggestion, Caitlin immediately objected: No, please keep my father's body intact.

Regarding Caitlin's objection, the police finally gave a compromise plan, which was to conduct an autopsy without destroying the body to ensure that there was no homicide and to ensure that Ferdinand died of normal death as much as possible.

After discussion, the police took away the body of Grand Duke Ferdinand. Due to the previous lessons from Homik, the security guards at the door dared not stop them anymore. Even Zhou Ming and Caitlin let them go like this. Of course, this is also the reason why they promised that they would come back.

Zhou Ming and Caitlin sent Ferdinand's body to the morgue. Finally, after two hours of autopsy by forensic doctors, the results were the same as before. They were natural death after aging and exhaustion of the whole body's organs, and no signs of homicide were found.

This result was expected by Zhou Ming. You must know that with this soldier king in charge, how could anyone sneak in and kill people without knowing it?

Zhou Ming, my father, is it because I found a home and he never left a memory of it, so I died, so I was the culprit that killed my father, right?

On the way back to Harrusburg, Caitlin suddenly told Zhou Ming that they were now in an ordinary Audi car, and that Zhou Ming asked him to rent it within two hours of working in the police station.

From her words, Zhou Ming knew that the clever princess also understood the cause and effect of this matter, but Zhou Ming said: Don't be stupid, how could it be your fault? Have you forgotten that your father passed away with a very peaceful smile? This is in my hometown of China. All the elders who passed away like this are called joy and funeral because he did not leave any regrets, right?

Zhou Ming said this on purpose, after all, we can't really say that she killed her father.

However, the smart Caitlin was not that easy to fool. She looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously. Zhou Ming had to continue saying: Compared to this, my princess, don’t you think we should do more now, is to prepare your father’s funeral?

After Zhou Ming said this, Caitlin also realized that this was true.

The police station was not far from Harrusburg. They returned to Harrusburg in just two minutes. The Bankman Bank security guards were still here in panic, but in addition to these security guards, another mixed race was added.

He walked up and said: Dear sir, lady, hello, my mother is from Chinese, I also have a Chinese name, you can call me Yang Heng, I am the executive manager of Bankman Bank who succeeded Homick. First of all, I would like to express my sincerest apology to both of you here for Homick's previous behavior. In fact, our Bankman Bank also respects a strong family with a long history like Harrusburg.

Zhou Ming interrupted his chatter: OK, Manager Yang, don’t say these high-sounding words anymore. If you have something to do, please just say it directly. If not, we will go back first. After all, Grand Duke Ferdinand just left, we must prepare for his funeral.

Of course there is nothing else. I just want to say that although the Grand Duke Ferdinand has passed away, the previous agreement is still valid, and you can still live in Harrusburg. I just need to remind you that if you don’t move the things in the castle, otherwise it will still be a violation of the agreement.

Seeing that his words were still the same old thing, Zhou Ming rolled up the car window without hesitation and drove into the castle.

When they returned to the castle, the first thing they had to do was to ask the relatives and elders of the other Harrusburg family about the family's funeral ceremony, and then invite them to attend the funeral.

My father has always been the patriarch of the family, and his contact with other family relatives has always been done by my father. I don’t know that my father must have kept a communication book, but I think I should call my aunt Louise first, because my father once told me that if I encounter trouble outside or can’t contact him, my aunt is the most trustworthy person. Caitlin told Zhou Ming.

Then call your aunt quickly. Zhou Ming said to her, but Zhou Ming didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, because he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Caitlin nodded and picked up Zhou Ming's cell phone and dialed Louise's phone number. Since it was a landline number, the servant answered the phone at the beginning. After hearing Caitlin's identity and explained the reason, the servant put down the phone and helped her to ask Louise to report.

Listening to the other end of the phone, Zhou Ming comforted Caitlin and said: Don't worry, since the servant has gone to find him, it proves that your aunt is at home now, and you must have confidence in this servant.

The facts proved Zhou Ming's words. After a while, there was a burst of rapid footsteps there, and the phone was picked up again. Then a very magnetic female voice asked: I am Louis, are you Caitlin?

Aunt, it's me, Theresia Caitlin.

After hearing what she said, she breathed a sigh of relief: Thank God, it's great to hear your voice. Do you know you haven't contacted me for so long? How worried am I about you?

I'm very sorry for my aunt. I was being monitored in Brighton at that time, so I didn't have the chance to contact you. I hope you can forgive me. Caitlyn said.

Forget it, as long as you're fine, the best news is Louise said.

Caitlin said again: But my aunt, I'm going to ask you for help this time

Louise said: When your father asked you to contact me, he was preparing to ask me to help you, but you are only here to come to me now. Obviously, this is not trusting my ability. After all, your aunt, I am also a princess of a country now, and I can help you.

My aunt, this is what it is. Just this morning, my father passed away in Harrusburg. I am going to hold a funeral for him now, but I don’t know what the funeral ceremony of the family is like, and I don’t know how to invite relatives from other families, so I called this to ask you, I think you should know. Caitlyn told her.

Listening to Caitlin's words, Louise was shocked at the time. After a while, she said incredible: Caitlin, why did you say your father has passed away? I was on the phone with him yesterday. At that time, he didn't say what was wrong with him. Why did someone die in just one night?

Caitlin said: My father was indeed still there yesterday, and it happened this morning. The forensic doctor examined him for respiratory failure caused by organ aging and natural death. It was probably because of family affairs that made him exhausted.

Yes, it is difficult for him to support the Harrusburg family alone. Louise sighed and asked again, so now Caitlyn, you are the patriarch of the Harrusburg family, right?

Although I know that it is not appropriate to say this now, I think it is. Caitlyn replied.

So if that's the case, I want to tell you that your situation is very difficult now, because Andre is convening the Harrusburg family meeting. You know that the property of the Harrusburg family is almost in his hands now, and he also owns Harrusburg in Salsas, so it is almost impossible for you to inherit this family. Louise said.

Caitlin smiled bitterly and said: Actually, it doesn’t matter whether or not to inherit this family. What I care most about now is my father’s funeral.

Louise asked: So when do you plan to bury your father?

I don't know yet, I want to see if there will be any better days. Caitlin said.

Since there is no fixed day, I think the faster the better, because no one in the family will attend this funeral except me. Louise said.

Actually, the answer was as expected by Caitlin, but when she heard Louise say this, she was still silent. After a while, she said: No matter what, I still hope to notify more people. Whether they come or not is their choice, but I must make arrangements, not for me, but for my father, and for the Harrusburg family.
