Chapter 190

"We have to wait for this incident to pass. Moreover, His Majesty's speech in the square seems to mean that he is not prepared to give us a way to survive..."

It seemed that these two people were managers of the casino. After hearing the first few words, Sherlock immediately pricked up his ears and prepared to record the entire conversation. It would also be an important clue then.

“We can’t say anything about the talk in the square. Anyway, so far, neither the City Hall nor the Royal Palace has ordered a complete lockdown. We have also

If you can, open it. "

"Well, that's what I think too. After all, there will never be a shortage of people in our industry. Whether it's laundering money for those rich people or helping them maintain civil order, His Majesty will never kill us all. ”

"But it's hard to tell here...after all, we found the clan emblem of the murdered duke last time."

"Are you sure? Is it genuine?"

"If it's fake, after all, no one dares to forge the duke's family emblem."

"How is it possible that no one dares to assassinate the Duke, but cannot forge the clan emblem?"

"The key is that the family emblem is difficult to forge. It has the family mark on it, which can be sensed by people of the same bloodline. The young duke came and tested it and confirmed that it is genuine..."

"I feel like there's still something fishy about this matter..."

The two chatted for a while, but never talked about any progress in solving the case. Sherlock even wanted to jump out and question them.

But now I am the one who is at fault, and the other party seems to be in a bad mood. If I jump out, something will probably happen to me.

"Oh, it was so good when we were working under Alpha before, nothing like this happened. After joining His Highness the Prince, I thought we were going to be successful, but suddenly something like this happened... He gave us a loan Those small banks and Qianzhuang are also pressing these days, but we are not open, where will the money come from..."

When he heard the word Alpha, Sherlock became alert again.

This casino didn't belong to His Royal Highness before?

After the two complained for a few more words, they walked away.

Only then did Sherlock get out from under the counter and continue to look for the register.

She moved very gently, for fear of making any big noise that would disturb the people on duty in the casino, so she moved much slower.

Finally, after an hour of persistent searching, she found her register.

The drunk man reported several dates. Considering that VIP guests may come differently every day, he just needed to write down all the people who entered the casino as VIPs these days, and then find the names that appeared most often.

Sherlock thought this and immediately took action.

Then, just as she expected, only one name appeared at the same time in the past few days.

That man's name is Milton.

"Milton..." Sherlock muttered the name.

"It's a very popular name."

At this time, a female voice sounded from the side.

"Yeah... there are so many people with this name, we can't just arrest them all and put them in front of that guy one by one to identify them, right?" Sherlock complained.

Then, her movements stagnated and she turned her head stiffly.

Sure enough, when she was just concentrating on comparing names, this woman had quietly stood beside her.

With her long flaxen hair, her mature makeup, and her elegant and luxurious clothes, she almost looked like a rich woman.

Obviously, the other party is either rich or noble, and maybe he is the owner of this casino.

Sherlock broke into cold sweat on his forehead, and now he had already scolded himself ten thousand times for his negligence.

"Well... I'm sorry, I'm here to investigate. Anyway, I've found what I want now, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Sherlock was about to slip away, but the other party directly stretched out his hand to keep Sherlock here.

"We are all guests here. If you don't stay and sit here, wouldn't it be disrespectful to let me, the one who makes the decision, be disrespectful?" The other party smiled like this, which made Sherlock even more frightened.

It's over. This kind of person looks like a murderous female devil at first glance. He broke into the opponent's territory and rummaged through other people's things. Shouldn't he be left with one hand...

Chapter 102: Lee Teuk is making rapid progress

Sherlock sat restrainedly in a high-end box of the casino, and a waiter brought him a drink.

"This is non-alcoholic special grape juice, please use it with caution." The waiter said and walked out carrying his plate.

Sherlock nodded, cursing secretly in his heart.

God knows if the other party has poisoned the juice, but as long as he doesn't drink it, he'll be fine.

"So...are you really here to investigate the assassination of the Duke?" After a few minutes, the woman who had just captured Sherlock seemed to have finished her own business and asked as soon as she walked into the room.

"Yeah." Sherlock nodded.

The woman came to the opposite side of Sherlock, sat down, and then crossed one leg over the other.

"It doesn't matter, just treat this place as your own home. I have a good temper. As long as I don't talk about topics that easily make me angry, nothing will happen."

"Uh... what are the topics that are easy to get angry about...?"

"Do you want to try it?" the woman said, looking at Sherlock with a smile.

"Uh...that's not necessary." Sherlock shook his head.

"Okay, anyway, let me introduce myself now. My name is Phil. I am responsible for helping His Royal Highness manage these properties. Of course, I just took over these things not long ago."

"The fact that you dare to investigate proves that you must already have a lot of important information in your hands, right?"

"We both serve the royal family, so I think we need to have a breather first, don't we?"

Seeing the other party's lucid analysis, even Sherlock almost dropped his guard against the other party for a moment and prepared to tell him everything he knew.

But Sherlock suddenly thought of the other party's initial attitude towards him, and the guard at the door clearly refused to investigate, and he suddenly felt that there was something fishy here.

She thought for a while and decided to tell half the story and hide it half.

After all, even if they are really all working for the empire, there are still different factions. Even His Royal Highness's subordinates are divided into different factions. It is common for factions to fight against each other, not to mention that Sherlock is not His Royal Highness.

"I did get some information, but...the person I was responsible for didn't tell me that I had a partner."

Seeing Phil's face darken instantly, Sherlock quickly said again: "Of course, since you are the person in charge of this casino, I think it is necessary to tell you something related to this casino."

In this way, Phil's face returned to its original color.

"That's right, but I thought you would tell me more."

"Oh... After all, the missions are different. Your Highness the Prince doesn't want to see Miss Phil do anything outside of her duties, right?"

"That's right." Phil nodded, "Then, keep talking."

Later, Sherlock told Phil his purpose of entering the casino.

After hearing this, Phil frowned.

"I'm sorry, when I took over the properties from His Highness the Prince, the Milton you mentioned should have never been here again. Perhaps it was because the change in property rights also made him feel the crisis."

"Well, that is true, if you took office not long ago, Miss Phil."

"So it was me who alerted the snake..." Phil said to himself.

"There's no need to worry, after all, the other party's name has been found out, and we can just compare it."

"No." Phil shook his head. "How do you know if this Milton uses a fake name?"

"That's true..." Even Sherlock frowned when he thought of this possibility.

Milton itself is already a very popular name, and coupled with the possibility that the other party has a pseudonym, it's still like finding a needle in a haystack!

Thinking of this, Sherlock suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Is it possible that the information that was finally obtained disappeared like this?

"However, I do have a few old guys here who have been helping here for a long time. If they are VIPs, they should be very impressed."

"I'll ask them for you later. If you can get detailed information about Milton, it will be easier to find him."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Phil." Sherlock nodded.

At this time, she thought of something again, and then asked:

"Miss Sherlock, I have something to ask you."

"You tell me."

"I can understand that other entertainment venues have VIP boxes, but do places like casinos also have VIP boxes?"

"Of course there will be." Phil smiled and nodded when he heard Sherlock's question.

“As long as people have money, they will think about using it somewhere.

Some people choose to save their money and earn interest.

And some people simply enjoy the process of spending money.

For those who do dirty business, their money is the most difficult and easiest to come by.

It’s difficult because most people wouldn’t do it, but it’s easy because if you succeed once, you’re done.

Big money can be made.

And for consumption by this kind of people, we need a suitable place, right? "

"That's it..." Sherlock nodded as if he understood.

She has never saved more than ten gold coins in her life, while more people in the empire will never see a gold coin in their life.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to understand the point of squandering hundreds of gold coins on such an occasion.

For the so-called "rich people", this place is just a pastime.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to check Milton's information. Miss Sherlock, are you going to stay here and wait for the results to come out, or are you going to come with me?"

"I'll go with you." Sherlock said, stood up and followed Phil.

…

"Master Orson, this is Master Li Te's letter."

In the temporary residence guarded by layers of security, a servant of the Stranik family came to Orson and handed the letter in his hand to Orson.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Orson said, took the letter and opened it.

Then, when he saw the content in the letter, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

In the letter, Lite reported to Orson his victory in the siege of Florence, and reported the details of the battle to Orson.

After seeing Lite's comments about Martin, Orson felt tight inside.

But after seeing Litt take Virgil to have a good meal with Martin and his girlfriend, he relaxed again.

Even he himself did not notice this small change in mood.

After reading the letter, Orson smiled with relief.

"Sure enough, Litt, you have grown up." Orson said to himself.

He was not wrong. Litt is now developing and progressing as rapidly as the original world line. He has gradually recruited his own team and has begun to have the potential to be a kingly protagonist.

Chapter 103: Which side will you stand on?

After reading the letter, Orson put it in his pocket and then walked out of his residence.

Sure enough, at the door, two guards with the strength of the seventh level were guarding the door firmly, and there were countless secret guards in the dark to protect their safety.

To be honest, in terms of safety alone, Orson is undoubtedly one of the safest people in the entire empire. Even his security is not much worse than that of Odysseus who lives in the deep palace.

But this level of security actually restricted Orson's activities.

Orson glanced at the two guards in front of him, and then said: "Please take me to see His Majesty."

...

"So, Orson, you mean, you want to go back to the Imperial College?"

"Well, after all, the Imperial College is one of the safest places now, and I am only a second-year student, and I still have a lot of schoolwork to complete." Orson said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"And, Your Majesty, I don't think I have any help in the current situation in Saint Laurent City, so... let me go back."

"Okay." Odysseus nodded after hearing this.
