54. The thief is actually me

Foreigners are hard to deal with!

Even though it was exposed, Qin Ming was still calm and asked calmly: "How did Consul Harris know?"

"Harris Russell." Harris introduced: "I've learned a little medicine."

Most foreigners like Harris who hold high positions and work as consulates in foreign embassies are from aristocratic origins and have received higher education since childhood. It is much harder to fool than Japanese people who are closed to the country.

However, Qin Ming was not worried at all. As long as he was a human, he could be fooled.

"Russell? It's really an ancient surname." Qin Ming smiled, "That's a prominent nobleman."

Harris said with a little surprise: "Do you actually know the Russell family?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "That's natural. The Russell family is so famous. The famous Earl of Bedford, the ancestors are an extraordinary figure. Henry VIII's important minister, he once negotiated a treaty with the Duke of Bourbon, visited the Pope, and served as the envoy of peace with France. You are now also serving as a consul abroad and inheriting the glory of your ancestors!"

"You are a knowledgeable person." Harris replied happily: "My family has not been going well recently. It is rarely mentioned in Britain now, but you didn't expect you to know."

Qin Ming gave a smile. In the West, many people will study the origin of their names. Such research is called Geneology.

Most people will think of ways to classify themselves as descendants of a certain noble, not to mention the serious nobles like the Russell family.

Although the Russell family is regarded as a rebellious class among the nobles and their ancestors planned to assassinate the "Happy King" Charles II, now there is a prime minister named "John Russell". Now that John Russell has stepped down, everyone is not living a good life, but in another five years, they will serve as prime minister again.

It is worth mentioning that John Russell's grandson was the famous philosopher Russell.

Qin Ming's words made Harris feel a little more favorable to him. Matsuhira Rongbao felt ashamed of this.

He knew better than anyone else about Consul Harris’s difficulty in dating. The foreigner had an attitude towards the shogunate, but Qin Ming only said a few words to bring the relationship closer.

"Then let's get back to the topic." Qin Ming took the initiative to bring back the topic, and to raise connections is to increase the credibility of his words and facilitate fraud, rather than letting Harris not hold him accountable.

"Well..." Matsuhei Tomosato became nervous subconsciously. If John hadn't died in an accident, he would have caused great trouble.

Qin Ming said: "Since Consul Harris has some medical achievements, he should have heard of intracranial hemorrhage."

"Intracranial hemorrhage?" Harris nodded.

"Qin Ming explained: "Due to brain injury and intracranial hemorrhage, it will not occur in a short period of time, but when the brain gradually becomes hematoma, the patient will become confused and die eventually."

"Hematoma? Is it a blood clot?"

Harris frowned. He was familiar with this, and he was more familiar with the treatment method, just bleed.

Matsuhira Yoshibaki didn't understand at all: "Why did Mr. John get hurt in his brain?"

Qin Ming said: "This is going to involve Ah Fu."

Harris tugged at the corner of his mouth: "That widow with John?"

Everyone in the embassy knows that John has recently had a crush on a Japanese widow, but even in Europe, it is not auspicious, especially this lowly Japanese woman.

"Words are not enough to prove all this. Why not go to the scene to see it? You can call Kondo and others, and they can be used as witnesses."

Qin Ming took out a set of rhetoric that he had prepared long ago. He would not be able to get his shoes wet when he walked by the river. Do you really think he wouldn't be prepared?

Poor old blind man at the village head, if he had understood earlier, he would not have been ruined.

The group came to the mountains.

"It should be here." Qin Ming pointed to a place.

Kondo I think this place is a bit familiar.

"Please look at the horse's hoof prints on the ground."

In order to show his ability to pursue the work in front of foreigners, Matsuhira Sora immediately squatted down and observed: "The horse's hoof prints are very shallow, but it can be seen that they are very messy, and it seems that they have stayed here."

"Stop here?" Harris looked around. How could he stay there if there was no village in front or store behind?

Qin Ming said: "The reason why John stayed here is because he met someone else here."

Kondo and his friends immediately realized that they had met them!

They were here yesterday, stopped John and told him that there was an assassin ambush.

However, Kondo and others did not rush to speak. Judging from Qin Ming's appearance, they did not seem to intend to say that.

"Others? John probably doesn't know anyone else..." Harris couldn't think of why John stayed in the mountains. Recently, he had heard about the rebellion of the king and the barbarians. He went to see the general yesterday to get the shogunate to add the guardian power of the embassy.

It is dangerous for foreigners to go out at will. John is not a fool, so why would he stay suddenly?

Qin Ming pointed to another place: "Look at this side again, these are John's footprints."

The footprints of foreigners are easy to distinguish, only they wear boots.

Kondo nodded, well, this was the footprints left by John when he dismounted and walked towards them yesterday.

"Another here, there are four pairs of messy footprints."

Tuo Fang nodded, well, this is their footprint.

"Didn't it..." Harris thought of something very serious.

"John was ambushed by the thief who respected the king and expelled the barbarians. He realized this, so he dismounted to the enemy. These footprints were left behind when the two sides confronted each other."

Longma nodded, well, the thief who respected the king and expelled the barbarians was me.

"Damn rat..."

Matsuhei Yoshiba cursed fiercely. Sure enough, the matter was related to the thieves who respected the king and expelled the barbarians. Those guys were getting more and more out of the way. Not only did they commit a large number of cases under the name of "heavenly punishing" for respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, they openly opposed the shogunate, and even began to attack foreigners!

At the same time, he also gave Qin Ming a grateful look.

If he had been dissatisfied with Qin Ming's deceiving the British before, now he would only be grateful.

The so-called accidental death is to help hide the truth. After all, the thief who respects the king and expels the barbarians attack foreigners is to do things that are not good. If the shogunate protection is not in place, it will cause diplomatic problems at that time.

Now there is a layer of protection for lies. The embassy's minister and the seafarers do not know the truth and think they died by accident. No one will take their anger to the shogunate. It is much easier to deal with only Harris who sees through the truth.

The shogunate could not block the mouths of dozens of people, but there was still a way to block one person's mouth.

Harris asked, "So, John was injured and had blood in his brain in his fight with the thief?"

At this time, he had already believed it.

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded: "John was injured in the tibia during the fight."

Everyone nodded at the same time, and everyone knew about the injury to the shin.

The dragon and horse were muttering: "Feiyuan Demon... Feiyuan Demon who took away the man's shin. That widow happened to be born in Bingwu year. How could such a coincidence happen?"

Qin Ming rolled his eyes at Longma from the bottom of his heart and continued: "Injury to the tibia will affect his actions. After John drove away the thief, his actions were blocked. He might fall on the road or fall off his horse, and he would knock his head..."

Harris couldn't help but interrupt, "Then why didn't he say it? He didn't say anything about the ambush, and he didn't tell the doctor if he was injured..."
