Chapter 41 Death
Manor Hall.

As the gorgeous candlesticks were lit, Ernest looked seriously at the corpse wrapped in white cloth on the floor.

dead.

A laundress at the estate died.

Died in the laundry room.

He frowned and rubbed his temples: "Everyone, have you found anything out of the investigation?"

There were eight people in total.

They were all detectives and security members invited by Ernest.

now.

A middle-aged man with brown hair and a long beard said: "Mr. Ernest, if we don't have all the information, it will be difficult to find useful clues.

By this time.

There is still something to hide, then we can only apologize. "

The man finished speaking.

Several people nearby also stared at Ernest. Obviously, it was not that simple for him to hire them.

The one who spoke was also an experienced detective.

named Mohalo.

There was an old scar on his face, which looked a little sinister.

Compared with youngsters like Alice, he has been famous for many years, and has a lot of fame and prestige among the detective community.

After he spoke.

Ernest said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I hired you to protect my safety!"

"Yes, but if we don't know who the enemy is, I'm afraid we can't help." Mohalo said with serious eyes.

The meaning of the detectives is very clear.

If you don't speak clearly.

Then they will probably leave.

After all, even the opponent doesn't know who it is now.

Ernest glanced at everyone, and then said, "The razor gang in the dock area, everyone should know about it?"

Hear the words "Razor Party".

Everyone's complexion changed to a certain extent.

After this period of hard work, Romon naturally knew the reputation of the Razor Party.

It was a "viable social organization".

The main thing he does on weekdays is to collect protection fees, fight, intercept goods, etc. The scale is not small, and he can get along like a duck to water in such a chaotic place as the dock area.

Alice frowned: "If it's the Razor Party, then Mr. Ernest, I suggest you call the police immediately. It's not easy for us to deal with such things."

"It's not considered the Razor Party, it's a small gang under the Razor Party. When I was unloading the goods at the dock, I had some conflicts with them.

My two servants accidentally injured one of them, and the injury was very serious.

But at that time I had already made compensation. "

Ernest said: "But just last week, I received a threatening letter outside my estate, and they asked me to pay [-] pounds for medical expenses.

It's clear to me that they're here to see me, to get some money from me.

but.

I never thought that they would actually kill people! "

Such things are not uncommon.

If it was in Burnham City, a businessman like Ernest must have his own network of contacts.

But now he has moved from Burnham to Fogtown.

The previous relationship network is almost abolished.

Just arrived.

It is equivalent to a fat sheep carrying a lot of money.

It's really hard to deal with such a local gang.

If you give money.

That is endless.

Don't give.

It will disgust you from every aspect.

But killing people directly by hand is a bit too much, unlike the style of these small gangs...

"Mr. Ernest, are you sure you are a gang member?" Mohalo asked again.

Ernest nodded, "Yes, that gang is called the Skinhead Gang, a small gang under the Razor Party."

"No matter what, you should call the police first."

Alice suggested.

……

Half an hour after everyone called the police.

Three police detectives rushed to the manor and cordoned off the scene.

Subsequently.

The forensic doctor identified the corpse on the spot, and then said in doubt: "She died of natural causes, and I need further examination for the specific reason."

Everyone took advantage of this time.

Everyone in the manor has been questioned carefully.

In the laundry room where the accident happened, there was no trace of other people, and no outsiders entered the manor.

a time.

The situation is a bit confusing.

night.

Inside the room, Alice asked Romon, "What do you think about this?"

"I don't know, it may be a natural death, or it may be due to other reasons. Many awakened people can create such a death scene.

So my advice is, hurry up and retreat. "

Alice looked puzzled: "You mean, we should retreat now?

Indeed, there would be no problem if he left now, because it was Ernest who concealed the information first.

but.

Just now, Ernest raised his pay to three pounds a day. "

Romond understood what Elise meant.

As an awakened person, she is obviously not afraid of those small gangs, so how can she be risk-free if she wants to make money.

but.

He felt that this matter was not simple, how could Alice not notice it?
Regarding the extraordinary group behind her, what mission is on Ernest?

"This matter won't be related to the Blood Cup Cult?"

Romon asked suddenly.

It seems that she is more persistent only in matters related to the Blood Cup Order.

After all, there is blood and deep hatred.

Alice shook her head: "I have investigated, and Ernest was an ordinary businessman in the past, and has no connection with the Blood Cup Cult.

A year ago, he suddenly made a fortune, as if he was involved in a nautical trade.

It is definitely not easy for people who can do business on the sea.

The task of the Knights of the Dawn this time is to let me investigate the goods that Ernest brought from Burnham. "

There has always been an extraordinary organization behind Elise.

This

This is what Romon has known for a long time.

And he also went to check the information of the Knights of the Dawn.

This Extraordinary organization is relatively low-key, and it is also a very normal school. The basic law is the dawn breathing method.

It's on the bureau's whitelist.

It's a friendly, extraordinary organization.

Back then from Yuelan Bookstore, Alice asked him if he wanted to join the Knights of the Dawn.

It is impossible for Romon, who has learned the method of witchcraft and meditation, to modify other basic methods.

"You go back first, this entrustment is over, I stayed because of the mission of the Knights, it has nothing to do with you."

Elise said.

After what happened last time, she didn't want to involve Romon again for no reason.

If nothing happens, it's okay, you can get an extra salary.

But now that something happened, there was no need for Romon to stay.

The commission relationship between them is not so deep yet.

"Well, be careful. If something happens, contact me as soon as possible, and I will call the police." Romon agreed without hesitation, and then began to clean up the bottles and cans in the room. His movements were extremely smooth, as if he had practiced countless times. .

"Hey, don't you even pretend to be pretending? With such skillful movements, you must have already figured out how to run away!"

"Why are you so surprised, safety must come first when going out."

Romon rolled his eyes and said naturally.
