Chapter 32: The Second Invitation Letter(1/2)
Lunt is dead.
He was bitten to death by dozens of venomous snakes.
There were bloody scratches everywhere on the floor and walls.
When people took him out of the utility room, some of the servants couldn't help but vomited.
Not only was the stench overwhelming, but also because Lunt's death was so tragic.
The whole face has been deformed, and the black skin looks like those of black slaves.
What made people laugh and cry was that, perhaps because of rigor mortis, the tent was very high when this guy was carried out. The maids couldn't help but feel a pity secretly. They didn't expect that this young housekeeper had quite a lot of money.
The police detective came to check and concluded that the death was accidental.
But they found a package in the corner. After opening it, they found that it was all Mrs. Morgan's jewelry.
This discovery surprised everyone. After appraisal, these jewelry pieces were all valuable.
So the police detectives took advantage of the situation and deduced the entire process of Lunt's crime.
This guy must have stolen Mrs. Morgan's jewelry and was going to hide it in this place. But just in time, a methane explosion occurred in the Amantes sewer (official explanation). The poisonous snakes in the sewer were frightened and ran out. Just in time,
He bit Lante to death while he was in the room.
"This stupid thief paid with his life for his theft, and he deserved the punishment." With a pipe in his mouth, the police detective made the final closing argument for Lunt's death.
After hearing the detective's inference, everyone looked at each other.
Mrs. Morgan covered her forehead, lowered her head and gently rubbed her temples. People could not see her expression clearly, but it was easy to see from her tired look that Mrs. Morgan was quite shocked by this incident.
After all, Mrs. Morgan had praised the new housekeeper since she came from Longte, and even specially asked Mr. Schaer to teach her, but she didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a thief.
But everyone didn't know that Mrs. Morgan was not sad about Lunt's death at the moment, but felt scared in her heart.
Just imagine if you really go to the West Coast for vacation with this criminal. What if this guy steals all your money and runs away? What if this guy kills you for money, what will you do?
After bursts of regret, Mrs. Morgan couldn't help but feel sick in her heart. She stood up and said to Mr. Morgan: "I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to my room to rest." After that, she hurriedly left.
"Mr. Morgan, Bishop Kevin, it's a pity that this happened, but I think this is also the punishment for his many evil deeds and his attempt to steal church members. Although he escaped the punishment of human law, there will be endless torture in hell.
Waiting for him."
Mr. Detective has a devout demeanor, not like a police officer, but more like a fanatical believer.
This is not surprising. Today's Amantes, even the robbers in the slums, will be extremely pious. I believe that tomorrow morning, there will be a long queue outside the confessional hall of Amantes Church.
Mr. Morgan took out a stack of pounds and handed it to the detective, which made the detective a little confused for a moment. Fortunately, Mr. Morgan explained: "Please don't get me wrong, because he is not the official housekeeper of our family, so I hope he can
Hang up your company’s benefits list.”
The so-called welfare bill is a funeral parlor assigned by the police station to carry out burials. The targets are often the dead people who are not cared about in the society. The expenses are naturally paid by the public. It is called social welfare.
, even if the money is not much, it is enough to give an ordinary person the last bit of dignity.
Of course, this kind of welfare bill is still limited in quantity. Except for a few lucky ones, most of them were dragged into mass graves and buried directly.
Even if you encounter someone who is lazier and doesn't even bother to dig a hole, just throw it away, cover it with a cloth, and scatter some soil, and the body will often end up in the belly of those wild dogs.
"Your kindness makes me feel ashamed."
When the police detective heard this, he was immediately in awe and thought, no wonder people can get rich, they are blessed by angels.
After bidding farewell to the detective, Mr. Morgan couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Tong followed him from beginning to end and never said a word about this matter.
Coincidence??
What a coincidence, when Lonte went to hide the stolen goods, Hecate summoned countless venomous snakes and rushed into Amantes. Others were fine, so why did Lonte catch up?
If this is a coincidence, then who locked the utility room door?
The first time I wanted to use the soul-obsessing technique to pull out Lante's soul, I was so lonely that this guy's soul also disappeared.
Is this also a coincidence??
Obviously, none of this can be explained by coincidence, especially the deaths of Gruss and Stacie, everything revolved around Mr. Morgan's home.
This couldn't help but remind him that his side task 1 has not been completed yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong looked sideways at the corner and saw Deli lying in the corner, as if he was having a sweet dream. When he listened carefully, this stupid dog even snored.
"Kevin, I feel like I'm getting old."
Just as Xu Tong was examining the stupid dog Deli with suspicious eyes, Master Morgan suddenly spoke.
When Xu Tong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, and after carefully looking at Mr. Morgan's body, he said seriously: "Well, I think you can still give birth."
Mr. Morgan's face turned red: "Ahem, that's not what I meant."
Recently, the family's business has improved a lot, but there have been a series of deaths in the family. First it was Cruise, then Staci, and now there is another Lant.
Even if Lunt's death was just an accident, the fate of being bitten to death by a group of venomous snakes still makes people sigh.
"I think maybe I've been too busy with work recently and neglected my family. Maybe this is a warning from the Lord God."
Master Morgan said thoughtfully.
Fortunately, in Western feudal thought, there are no words that contradict each other.
Otherwise, Mr. Morgan would have wondered at this time whether this prospective uncle was the reincarnation of a broom star. Why would people keep dying in his family as soon as he came?
After Master Morgan finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the attic. It could be seen that he was really tired.
After Mr. Morgan left, Xu Tong sat by the window of the restaurant.
The servant brings the brewed coffee.
Under the dim light, Xu Tong took a sip. It was bitter with a little sweetness, and had more of a delicate and thick taste.
Glancing at the sleeping dog on the ground, Xu Tong curled his lips. This was the first time he saw a dog sleeping more soundly than a human.
Take out the hookah pipe that you haven't smoked for a long time from the prop book.
Pick out a match with your fingers.
"Zi~~"
With a wisp of smoke floating up, the firelight shone on Xu Tong's face.
After a while, a thick cloud of smoke came out of his mouth.
One person, one dog, and a cup of coffee.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that Xu Tong got up and walked out of the door.
Outside the door, Gandalf was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping soundly.
Xu Tong patted him and woke Gandalf up.
"Let's go to the suburbs."
Gandalf rubbed the corners of his eyes that were covered with eye drops. He was sleepy, but he could hear the voice of Earl Kevin. He immediately cheered up, looked down, and saw the words on the invitation letter that Xu Tong handed over.
Address, I couldn’t help but laugh: “Why is this place?”
"Huh? Have you been there??"
Xu Tong paused as he was about to sit down and turned back to look at Gandalf.
"Yes, about...a week ago, someone asked me to send him to this place. It was a forest. I thought he was a hunter who wanted to go hunting in the mountains."
Gandalf scratched his head, thought carefully, and then nodded with certainty: "Yes, this is the place."
Oh, I really feel sleepy and someone gives me a pillow.
Seeing this, Xu Tong did not intend to go to the suburbs. He sat on a chair and asked, "Then do you remember who came to take your car?"
"Well, it's Matthew. He is a butcher at the west market, but I know his other identity, a black market doctor. It is said that he specializes in performing surgeries or abortions on some shady people."
Gandalf said with a mysterious face.
Because of imperial law, women were not allowed to have abortions, and violators would be imprisoned.
There is a clear law even in the church that the soul of a woman who has had an abortion will never go to heaven after death.
So much so that if a woman is discovered to have had an abortion, she will not only be punished by law, but will also be cursed by religion.
It's just that as people's extravagant personalities become more open-minded, abortion has become a common thing, whether it is the ladies of the upper class, the common people of the lower class, or even the J girls of the Amu tribe.
Even the police turned a blind eye to this, so the shady profession of abortion doctors emerged.
As a coachman, Gandalf is a bit like a real-life taxi driver.
It seems that there is no place in this city that they don't know about, and the 499,899 people have very clean houses.
Now there was no need to go to the suburbs. Xu Tong signaled Gandalf to take him to find this Matthew.
But before going, you still need to prepare yourself.
After all, the people invited by Aletia are probably not ordinary people. They come to the door without any preparation. If they encounter a tricky idea, they may not be able to deal with it.
So he said in the team channel: "I have a clue here. Is there anyone who can go with me?"
