Chapter 339 Guarding and stealing!
"How is it? Are there any clues?"
The five people who died last night did not move away, but were placed side by side in the large room behind the hotel. Three nobles and two officials responsible for recording negotiations. The two recorders are fine, although they have some status, they are certainly incomparable to the three nobles. Regardless of their impact, even if they are treated dead. These two recorders are most 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 and buried in the cemetery of their respective families.
"I'm not Conan..."
"What?"
"Oh, nothing... I'm sure the assassination was cruel enough, and nothing else was found." After murmured, Tang En looked at the wounds of the five corpses, which were the fatal knife on his neck, and simply shook his head.
Philip also pinched his nose and said distressedly: "I can't think of the motivation. There was no sound last night, and there is no clue now... You have seen the waiter just now and know that the rooms of these people are together. I feel that the assassination has no goal at all. He just takes a knife out to sway in the middle of the night, and then chooses a few rooms. While the people inside are asleep, they just go in and behead them with one knife... Tsk tsk!"
He nodded in agreement. Tang En actually felt similar in his heart. Then he pondered for a while and said, "The techniques of these people, huh, are somewhat similar to those of the man in black who ambushed us last night."
Philip was stunned: "Uh, what do you mean is this a group of people? I went to ambush you first, and then killed these people?"
"There is no conflict in time, isn't it?" Tang En finally glanced at the corpse's fierce and neat knife, and then thought about the situation when he fought with the man in black last night. He nodded and reached out to lift the white cloth.
"Then this matter will be complicated." Philip scratched his hair and pointed to the body on the far right. "I know your guess. In fact, Sir Ronald and others have similar thoughts in their minds... But this person who is firmly standing on the side of the traditional nobles, and now he has been killed... Simpson almost fought with Ronald this morning, and it doesn't seem fake."
This is true. After the secret institutions and the nobles were attacked, they not only doubted each other, but also turned their remaining eyes to Simpson's group of traditional nobles with impure motives. But now there is a traditional noble among the dead. This makes people a little confused. This is a real noble, so there is no possibility of a bitter plan at all.
"Actually, things are not that complicated..." Tang En was about to say something. At the door, the old man in black, the hotel owner, came in with a look of embarrassment and saluted: "Sir Philip, the people from the Security Department are coming to check the remains."
Don't stop Philip and want to send him away: "Let's go, there's nothing good about this, let's talk about it later."
Outside the door was the second-floor corridor. From a distance, the group of guards before were walking towards this side, looking at each other. Tang En glanced at the two cavalry inside the team without a trace, touched his nose, and walked towards the stairs in the opposite direction.
The old man in black did not come with him this time, and was standing at the door of the room waiting for the arrival of the cavalry. Obviously, in his heart, the role of guarding the cavalry was much greater than that of these two unknown nobles.
When the two of Don't disappear at the corner stairs or, Bowes retracted his gaze, frowned, and pulled over the old man in black beside him, "Who were those two people just now?"
"Ah? Oh, one is Sir Philip, the other... Well, it's quite good-looking, but it should be a nobleman, judging from the temperament." The old man in black replied casually, then bowed to the captain of the cavalry: "Please, please, the bodies of the nobleman who was killed last night are here."
Bovis rubbed his nose, paused for a moment, and finally shrugged and walked into the room.
...
At the stairs.
Philip asked as he went down the stairs, "What are your plans next?"
"Haha, of course it's impossible to tell you this noble." Tang En joked, then pinched his chin, "Actually, it's okay for us. After all, we were in the dark and we were ambushed last night because of a traitor. On the contrary, you are different. Your goals are too obvious. I guess that group of people will attack you again."
"It makes sense." Philip raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded and agreed. Tang En's heart moved and glanced at him. "Haha, you don't seem to be nervous at all?"
He raised his head and whispered, "Haha, I'm an idle person, who will attack me? It's completely worthless..." Seeing Tang En's eyes that were always smiling, Philip sighed helplessly and spread his hands, "Okay, okay, my situation is quite special. As long as the other party is not crazy, he will not attack me."
"I guessed it long ago, huh, you can't be some prince of Bran, are you?"
"Uh?" Philip opened his mouth, his face full of absurd surprise, he was stunned for a moment, and covered his forehead, "Please, although such a status is indeed good. But... His Majesty the King is almost ninety years old, and the youngest prince is all middle-aged uncles. Which round of the journey is it for me?"
"I said it earlier, and I was wondering if I would kidnap you, so the negotiations would be smoother."
"..." Philip grinned, his face speechless.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside, and then the Alex, who had a few encounters with Tang En, walked in with a few bloody preys. Behind him, there was still the strong and thin guard butler character.
"Hey, it's Philip, who is this?" Alex was about to turn to the corridor on the right after entering, but when he looked up, he saw the two people on the stairs and greeted with a little confusion.
Philip reached out and introduced to each other, "Oh, this is Viscount Jack, a friend I met in the north before. Yes, Jack, this is Count Alex."
"I'm honored to know you, Sir Alex." Tang En greeted in a stern manner according to the noble etiquette.
"Oh, honor, honor." Alex nodded casually, then waved a few preys in his hand: "Well, you are not an ordinary person who can be friends with this kid Philip, it is worth getting to know each other. Come on, go to my room to drink and roast and eat these beasts by the way?"
Tang En was a little stunned. This guy was too familiar. Philip, who was standing beside him, took a step forward, shook his head and said, "Next time, we have to go out to do something now." After taking a sentence, he pointed to the prey's lightly changing the topic, "Is this, I just hit?"
"Haha, not bad." Alex didn't care about being rejected, and shook his prey with a smile. "What viscount in the city has to invite me to the hunting ground. This is my harvest for half a day. How about it, not bad, haha..."
It's really a top-notch... Tang En's eyes flashed slightly and he touched his nose. The person here had just died, but it didn't affect his interest in going out to hunt.
A few words were briefly said, Alex looked a little impatient, and soon waved his hand to say goodbye with the two companions and turned into the corridor on the right of the first floor. It seemed that he was really impatient with roasting prey.
After Tang En bowed and sent the other party away, he turned his head and smiled, "This Alex is a bit interesting."
Philip nodded: "Yes, although he is not a high title, he is also a figure in the capital. Well, he is a little interesting when talking about his origin..." Perhaps it was obvious that Tang En was a little curious about Alex. Philip said while going down the stairs, "His family is a marquis, but the head of the family is really unlucky. He has raised many wives and lovers in his life, but he has no descendants. Seeing that this family is about to be defeated. But when he accidentally inspected the local farm, he found that a young man named Alex looked exactly the same as when he was young. After asking, he found that the young man's mother was his maid back then!"
"Ha, you know, maids, they are basically the bed companions of the nobles' descendants. Even if they are old and weak, or are driven out of the family castle by mistake, they cannot be married again. After investigation, the head of the marquis found out that Alex was his son, he was so ecstatic. He immediately took him into the castle and asked the king for the title of earl as quickly as possible."
"Well, it's certainly a pleasure to enter the upper class, but Alex was already an adult at that time, and some nobles could not adapt to their habits. They wanted to learn slowly, but they were ridiculed a lot. However, he had his own stubborn temperament, so he simply showed himself to others with a reckless image. If you dare to laugh at me, I will scold you. If you can't scold me, I will directly hit you. If you can't beat me, you will hit you again next time... Over time, he became an alternative in the capital aristocratic circle, neither forming gangs nor joining other groups. Although the nobles were secretly laughing at him, they did not dare to provoke him in person."
Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help but smack his lips and sighed: "Tsk tsk, it's indeed a character!" It's not difficult to be an alternative day, but it's rare to be a lifetime, and it also forces others to accept it.
"Who said no?" Philip agreed, and then shrugged, "He came to supervise the family business this time, but because it involved the mines in the 100,000 mountains, he could only wait for the negotiations to end here."
Tang En nodded and didn't care much. Since he had confirmed the situation here, he naturally went out to discuss it with Joshia and the others. Of course, the revenge he had planned to start first was not going to continue. This is not to say that they no longer doubt these nobles, but simply did not want to be used as a gun by others.
As he was about to leave the hotel gate, Don Eun patted his forehead and turned around and said, "By the way, Sir Ronald, I want to ask you to run away. Yes, there is no need to make them believe it. Just talk about the incident when we were ambushed last night."
"I understand." Philip nodded to understand, then he seemed to think of something and rubbed his palms, "Hehe, that place Joshia..."
"Oh? Haven't given up yet?"
"Ha, how is that possible?"
Tang En spread his hands indifferently: "Okay, I'll watch it for you."
"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 steal!"
