Chapter 339: Guarding and Stealing!

"How's it going? Did you find any clues?"

The five people who died last night were not moved, but were placed side by side in the large room at the back of the hotel. Three nobles and two officials responsible for recording the negotiations. The two recording officers among them were just that. Although they had some status, they certainly could not be compared with the three nobles. Regardless of its impact, consider the treatment of death. These two record officials will most likely 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 their respective family cemeteries.

"I'm not Conan..."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing... I found nothing except that the assassin was brutal enough." After muttering, Tang En looked at the wounds on the five corpses, which was the fatal knife in the neck, and simply shook his head. .

Phillip also pinched the bridge of his nose and said rather distressedly: "I can't think of a motive. There was no sound last night, and now there are no clues... You also met the waiter just now, and you know that these people's rooms are together. . Now I feel that the assassin had no goal at all. He just wandered out with a knife in the middle of the night, then randomly selected a few rooms, and while the people inside were asleep, he went in and simply beheaded him with a knife... Tsk tsk!"

Nodding in agreement, Tang En actually felt something similar in his heart, and then he pondered for a moment and said, "The methods of these people, well, are somewhat similar to the men in black who ambush us last night."

Phillip was stunned: "Uh, you mean this is a group of people? First they ambush you, and then they came here and killed these people?"

"There's no conflict in time, right?" Tang En glanced at the sharp and sharp knife on the corpse's neck for the last time. Then he thought about the fight with the man in black last night, nodded, and reached out to lift the white cloth.

"Then this matter is complicated." Philip scratched his hair and pointed to the corpse on the far right, "I know your guess. In fact, Sir Ronald and others have similar thoughts in their minds... But this person is firmly standing On the traditional aristocratic side, now he has been killed...Simpson almost got into a fight with Ronald this morning because of this, so it doesn't look like it was fake."

This is true. After both the secret agency and the nobles were attacked, apart from being suspicious of each other, they turned their remaining attention to Simpson and this group of traditional nobles with impure motives. But among the people who died now, there was a traditional aristocrat, which made people a little confused. This is a real noble, so there is no possibility of any trickery.

"Actually, the matter is not that complicated..." Tang En was about to say something. At the door, the old man in black, the owner of the hotel, came in with a look of embarrassment and saluted: "Sir Philip, the people from the security department are coming to inspect these remains. "

Tang En stopped Phillip with the intention of sending him away: "Let's go, there's nothing interesting to see here, let's talk about it when we go out."

Outside the door was the corridor on the second floor. From a distance, he saw the group of guard cavalry walking towards this side. They looked at each other. Tang En glanced at the two cavalry in the team without any trace, touched his nose, and looked at Go up the stairs in the opposite direction.

The old man in black did not follow this time. He was standing at the door of the room diligently waiting for the arrival of the cavalry. Obviously, in his mind now, the role of the guard cavalry is much greater than that of these two ignorant nobles.

After Tang En and the two disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Powers withdrew his gaze, frowned, and pulled the old man in black aside, "Who were those two people just now?"

"Ah? Oh, one is Sir Philip, and the other... Well, he is relatively unfamiliar, but judging from his demeanor, he must be a noble." The old man in black didn't pay attention, and replied casually, then bowed to the cavalry captain and said: "Please , please, the remains of the nobles killed last night are here."

Powers rubbed his nose, paused for a moment, then shrugged and walked into the house.

…

At the stairs.

Phillip asked as he walked down the stairs: "What are your plans next?"

"Haha, of course I can't tell you this nobleman." Tang En joked, then pinched his chin, "Actually, we are fine here, after all, we are in the dark, and the reason for the ambush last night was because of a traitor. On the contrary, you are different, your goal is too obvious, I guess that group of people will attack you again."

"It makes sense." Phillip raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded in agreement. Tang En's heart moved and he glanced over, "Haha, you don't seem nervous at all?"

He raised his head and yelled, "Haha, I'm just an idler. Who would do something to me? It's completely worthless..." Seeing Tang En's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, Phillip sighed helplessly and spread his hands. He said, "Okay, okay, my situation is quite special. As long as the other party is not crazy, they won't attack me."

"I guessed it earlier. Well, you are not a certain prince of Bran, are you?"

"Huh?" Philip opened his mouth, his face full of absurd astonishment. He was stunned for a moment and covered his forehead, "Please, although that status is indeed good. But... His Majesty the King is almost ninety years old, and the youngest prince They are all middle-aged uncles, so who should fuck me?"

"If you had told me earlier, I was still thinking about kidnapping you, and the negotiations would go more smoothly."

"..." Phillip grinned, speechless.

At this moment, a sudden burst of laughter came from outside, and then Alex, who had had a few encounters with Tang En, strode in with a few bloody prey in hand. Behind him, the same strong man was still there. Thin guard butler character.

"Hey, it's Philip, who is this?" After Alex came in, he was about to turn to the corridor on the right, but when he looked up and saw the two people on the stairs, he greeted with a little doubt.

Philip stretched out his hand and introduced each other: "Oh, this is Viscount Jack, a friend I met when I came to the north before. Well, Jack, this is Count Alex."

"It's an honor to meet you, Sir Alex." Tang En greeted him strictly according to the aristocratic etiquette.

"Oh, it's an honor, it's an honor." Alex nodded casually, and then waved a few prey in his hand: "Well, you are not an ordinary person to be friends with this kid Philip, and he is worth getting to know. Come on, go to me How about drinking in the room and roasting and eating these beasts?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, this guy must be too familiar. Phillip on the side took a step forward, shook his head and said, "Next time, we have to go out to do something now." After saying this, he pointed at the prey and changed the subject lightly, "This was just shot?"

"Haha, not bad." Alex didn't care about being rejected, and shook the prey in his hand with a smile, "That viscount in the city insisted on inviting me to the hunting ground. This is my harvest for half a day, how about it, not bad, haha... …”

It's really the best... Tang En's eyes flashed slightly and he touched his nose. The person here just died, but it didn't affect his interest in going hunting at all.

After a few brief words, Alex looked a little impatient, and quickly waved goodbye with the two accompanying followers, turning into the corridor on the right side of the first floor. It seemed that he was really impatient to roast his prey.

After Tang En bowed and sent the other party away, he turned around and said with a smile, "This Alex is quite interesting."

Phillip nodded: "Yes, even though his title is not high, he is still a figure in the capital. Well, talking about his origin is a bit interesting..." Probably because he saw that Tang En was a little curious about Alex, Phillip Going down the stairs, he said, "His family has the title of Marquis, but the head of the family is really unlucky. He has had many wives and lovers throughout his life, but he has no children. Seeing that this family will be extinct when he comes. But he accidentally When I inspected the local farm, I discovered that a young man named Alex looked exactly like him when he was young. After further inquiry, I found that this young man’s mother was actually his maid back then!”

"Ha, you know, a maid is basically the bed partner of a noble's heir. Even if she gets old and loses her lust, or makes some mistakes and is kicked out of the family castle, she cannot remarry. The head of the Marquis family After the investigation confirmed that Alex was his son, he was overjoyed. He immediately connected him to the castle and asked the king for a count title as quickly as possible."

"Well, of course it makes people happy to step into the upper class at once, but Alex was already an adult at that time, and he couldn't adapt to some aristocratic habits at all. He was slow to learn, but he suffered a lot of ridicule. But he also has his own stubbornness His temperament is simply reckless. If you dare to laugh at me, I will scold you. If you can't scold me, I will punch you. If you can't beat me, I will hit you next time we meet... As time goes by, he has become a member of the aristocratic circle in the capital. He is an alternative, neither forming gangs nor joining other groups. Although those nobles continued to laugh at him secretly, they did not dare to provoke him in person."

Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed: "Tsk, tsk, he is indeed a character!" It is not difficult to be an alternative for a day, but it is rare to be an alternative for a lifetime, and others have to accept it.

"Who says it's not?" Philip also agreed, and then shrugged, "He dropped by this time to supervise the family business, but because it involves the mines in Shiwanshan Mountain, he can only wait here for the negotiation to end."

Tang En nodded and didn't pay much attention. Now that he had confirmed the situation here, he naturally went out to discuss it with Joshua and the others. Of course, the revenge he planned in the first place could not go forward. This is not to say that they no longer doubt these nobles, but simply do not want to be used as a weapon by others.

When he was about to leave the hotel door, Tang En slapped his forehead, turned around and said, "By the way, Sir Ronald wants you to run some errands. Well, there is no need to make them believe it. Just tell them about our last night." Just the matter of being ambushed."

"Understood." Phillip nodded to show understanding, and then he rubbed his palms as if he thought of something, "Hey, what about Joshua..."

"Oh? You haven't given up yet?"

"Ha, how is that possible?"

Tang En spread his hands indifferently: "Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on it."

"No, no... you don't understand what I mean." Phillip waved his hand, then straightened his face, and said solemnly, "I just hope you don't keep it to yourself!"
