Chapter 342 Weaving a Web

When it was impossible to evacuate Shanxi City, the noble negotiating team did not trade out of this somewhat ominous high-end hotel.

Of course, the guard strength has been greatly strengthened. Let's not talk about the status of these nobles, but let's talk about their titles. If you pick any one at random, you can completely abuse the situation in the north where a single viscount can dominate the town. So outside the hotel, the guard cavalry who received the order had already set up layers of defense, making it almost impossible for birds to enter.

However, despite this, the uneasiness in the hearts of the nobles continued unabated. At this point, in fact, they all had something wrong in their minds, and the suspects changed from the gray-clothed army to the hostile nobles.

The traditional aristocrats and the new aristocrats were already at odds with each other. For reasons of grace and so on, they could live in harmony on the surface, but they often stabbed each other behind the scenes. Now that there are casualties on both sides, in their hearts, they have lost their faces, and naturally they are more careful. Don't forget, although this hotel is now tightly guarded, it is only relative to outsiders. If the nobles inside want to do something, such as bringing some people in, it is really not difficult.

It was precisely because of the thought of this situation that the nobles became increasingly uneasy. Fortunately, amidst this fear, the day of the second assassination finally passed slowly...

The next day, early morning.

Under the leadership of Philip, Tang En entered the hotel from the outside again.

First of all, in order to leave a strong impression to the nobles that "this is Philip's girl", the woman in Tang En's disguise showed a strong sense of presence, both in her dress and in her temperament. And this kind of woman who is similar to a strong woman cannot be taken down casually. So apart from shopping, Tang En didn't spend the night at Phillip's place yesterday. Of course, this is also the reason why Tang En is confident that the murderer will not take action immediately.

Sure enough, after meeting, Phillip whispered that there was nothing unusual last night.

Tang En nodded, and then looked around at the tight defense of the sentry within a few seconds, and said casually, "By the way, Joshua asked me to thank you for the clothes you bought her yesterday."

"You're welcome..." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Phillip's mouth, he shook his head and sighed, "Oh, if I had personally given those clothes to her, she would definitely not want them."

The corners of Tang En's mouth curled up slightly, but in order to consider the enemy around him, he immediately put away his smile.

In order to achieve a realistic effect, two grown men, Tang En and Phillip, spent a long time shopping in the streets yesterday. The taste of it was not something outsiders could describe... Well, just know that it was weird and unconventional. But when you go shopping, you naturally have to buy things. The figure of the woman Tang En pretended to be was based on Joshua, so the pile of high-end clothes she bought ended up belonging to Joshua.

As Phillip said just now, if he had given this thing personally, the outcome would probably be the same as that time when he confessed his love in a sea of ​​flowers. But when Tang En's hand was turned, the effect was different. Putting aside everything else, the gorgeous clothes Tang En is currently wearing were the ones that Joshua happily picked out for him to change into...

As the saying goes, you have to be kind to be a person, and you have to vote when you read, ahem... Anyway, you are short-handed, no matter whether you like it or not. Tang En is now wearing the clothes given by Phillip, so naturally he can't gloat at the misfortune and pretend not to hear it. After the two stepped in Hotel lobby.

It's almost breakfast time now. There are quite a few nobles sitting on both sides of the hall, and the atmosphere is a bit weird. Such a situation does not mean that the nobles all have a good schedule, but because no one dares to be alone now, so no matter how tired they are, they still have to join in group activities.

Philip is also a member of the new aristocracy in name, so the place to eat is naturally at Ronald's side. Tang En left a very deep impression yesterday, so even though the new nobles were a little absent-minded, they still nodded politely, and some with good memories even called out the name "Loris".

There were traditional nobles sitting on the other side. Naturally, they didn't say anything important. And because of the worrying situation, they didn't even feel like saying some useless words. This was probably the case with Simpson, so the scene was very dull.

About half an hour later, breakfast was over. Next, Ronald and his friends' activities became more complicated, with some staying in the hotel and some going out together. No matter what the current situation is, since you are in Shanxi City, you have to go to the entertainment you should have. And this was in broad daylight, so I guess nothing would go wrong. As for Simpson, as long as they are sure that Ronald and the others are not getting together to negotiate secretly, they will not follow him aggressively and usually end up doing their own thing.

After Phillip declined several invitations, he led Tang En towards the back. This was not all to avoid people, but mainly because Phillip's room had been changed and he needed to reinstall warning devices and the like.

There will naturally be no shortage of rooms in this high-end hotel, and excluding the accompanying cavalry, this noble negotiation team is actually not many, only a few dozen people. First of all, for convenience and mainly for supervision by the traditional nobles, everyone lived together. But now the two sides have a tendency to quarrel and are suspicious of each other, so naturally they will not continue to be like this. About last night, the nobles on both sides unanimously chose to find rooms again, and finally occupied the east and west ends of the second floor of the attic.

Avoiding the waiters who came in to clean up the leftovers, the two of them went out of the front door and back door. But for a moment, Tang En's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he turned slightly to look at the two waiters who had just passed by.

Haha, these two guys are really versatile... After sighing, Tang En's expression did not change and he still walked towards the attic behind.

The two 'waiters' Tang En knew earlier, they were old acquaintances, Powers and Bernie. It is not unusual to see them here. After all, the aristocratic circle in Shanxi City already knows what is happening here. As a result, the pressure on the Security Department will naturally increase. I just don’t know if they want to wait and see? Still aware that the murderer is among these people... Well, it is necessary to communicate.

With this thought in mind, Tang En entered the rather spectacular attic in front of him.

While going up the wooden stairs, Philip introduced the situation in a low voice: "The first floor is basically occupied by accompanying cavalry, and it is also divided into two sides. We and the traditional nobles can basically control half of it. However, there are many people and it is difficult to guarantee There won't be any traitors inside, I guess this is how Simpson and the others usually monitor our negotiation actions."

"Only the nobles and administrative officials for this negotiation live on the second floor. There are many empty rooms. We live in about ten rooms on the east side. Simpson and the others are on the west side and can't see each other. Now, you can see for yourself..."

Although this loft has only two floors, it occupies a very large area. The shape of the entire building presents an inward arc, a bit like a pair of outstretched wings. So standing in the center, Tang En could only see the long corridors on the left and right sides, and as the arc gradually deepened, he could only vaguely see the wall at the end of the corner. It's a bit deep, and even though it's brightly lit, it still gives people the feeling of a giant beast opening its bloody mouth to swallow everything.

Nodding, Tang En asked: "So, no one lives in this middle area now?"

"Not really." Philippi shook his head and pointed to his feet, "On the right side of the center of the first floor, Alex lives there. Well, do you remember where you first saw him yesterday? He lives there. Not moving."

"Didn't he say he was leaving yesterday?" Tang En asked in surprise.

"Yes, everything is packed." Philip spread his hands and looked a little weird, "We were still resting in the room at that time. I only heard about it when I came back in the evening. Alex had an affair with Simpson when he passed by the front hall. There was a bit of a quarrel, but Alex seemed to take action... Although the fight didn't work out, he was a little bit forced to get out of the stage. Once he got angry, he simply went back to his original place and never left. It's really..."

"Ha, this guy..." Tang En couldn't help laughing when he heard this and shook his head.

That Alex is neither a traditional aristocrat nor a new aristocrat. It can be said that he was just passing by to make soy sauce, but now he actually waded into this muddy water because of a dispute of temper. No wonder Phillip was a little speechless. But according to his behavior, doing this is really normal.

After talking about this episode, Tang En walked eastward: "Let's go to your room first."

"Well, you have to give me some snacks for this. If there are any traps, just call me. I'm not afraid of seeing cruel scenes."

"How about... how about burying a few explosive crystals? It will ensure that blood and flesh will fly everywhere, and it will be inhumane. Of course, I can't guarantee that you can see it!"

"..."
