Quick Pass: Play Cannon Fodder
Chapter 84 4.15
After investigating the missing child case, Edward rushed to Witch Street immediately.However, the Duke's guards have already taken Xing Huan to the Duke's mansion.
Xing Huan had never visited such a noble member of the royal family, and the Duke's personality was notoriously unpredictable, which made Edward very worried.Without further delay, he turned around and stepped into the carriage, heading straight for the Grand Duke's mansion.
In the magnificent Duke's mansion, two guards sandwiched Xing Huan and led him towards the living room.
The bodyguards were dressed in red uniforms, their expressions were numb, and they had sabers around their waists.Xing Huan walked silently. He wore a dark cloak over the three-piece suit and covered his eyes with a hood, like a prisoner they escorted.
After waiting for a long time in the living room, two maids led Xing Huan through various corridors, and finally stopped in front of the bedroom.
"Mr. Lemon, the Duke of McLean is not in good health. He allows you to meet him in the bedroom." After finishing speaking, the two maids knocked on the door and stepped back.
Oh, the old fox has many tricks.Xing Huan nodded, then stood up straight.
Soon, an old man's voice came from the bedroom: "Let him in."
The two maids bowed slightly and pulled open the door together.Xing Huan took a step forward, stepping into Lord Duke's field of vision.
Andrew McLean was lying on an extremely luxurious bed at the moment.There was a man standing beside the bed, who was his personal doctor.The private doctor knew the Duke very well, and knew that he was pretending to be sick again, so as to attract everyone's attention.
"My guest is here, you go out first." Andrew sent away the personal doctor.
As if he breathed a sigh of relief, the private doctor passed by Xing Huan and left the bedroom quickly.
According to the data, the Grand Duke has a strong body and his biggest hobby is to sell miserably. He is almost as good as Xing Huan.
In the huge room, Andrew squinted his eyes at Xing Huan, trying to find Peter's shadow on his face.Xing Huan didn't say anything, let alone let Andrew see his face clearly.
After the attempt failed, Andrew said in a hoarse voice: "You should come here, I have reached the age of old eyesight."
Gathering his mind, Xing Huan took a step forward.
Andrew was still not satisfied, so he asked Xing Huan to come closer.After repeating it several times, he finally saw Xing Huan's nose clearly, and immediately bounced off the bed!
"Ha, Earl Maguire really didn't lie, you look a lot like my Peter!"
Damn, you can recognize it like this!Xing Huan simply took off his hood, and leaned slightly: "Master Duke, I heard that you are ill, how are you recently?"
Only then did Andrew remember that he was still sick, so he lay back on the bed.
During this period, his eyes stayed on Xing Huan's face, and he only felt that Peter was resurrected!
Xing Huan said flatly: "The Lord Duke has not recovered yet, I'd better come back another day."
"Hey, don't go!" Andrew kicked off the quilt, and jumped off the bed fully dressed, "You look like my grandson, let me see you again. Peter McLean, he is my youngest grandson!"
In fact, Peter is not only the youngest grandson of the Grand Duke, but also his most beloved grandson.It's a pity that when Peter was 13 years old, he had an accident. He fell off his horse and was crushed to the neck by a horse that also fell, and died on the spot.
Since then, the Grand Duke seems to have aged ten years.He ordered the death of Peter's horse, and never cared about royal power again.
Xing Huan felt that this was a rare opportunity - if he could summon Peter's undead, Andrew would definitely cry with joy.As long as the Grand Duke is happy, he can gain a firm foothold in high society.
However, Xing Huan also saw the crisis.
After all, the Grand Duke is a highly respected figure, not as easy to fool as the Maguires.Andrew will definitely understand what harm Xing Huan's special skills will bring...
Now, Xing Huan decided to take a gamble like Isabel, and said, "Your Excellency, I am just a detective. I feel very sorry about Peter's matter. But I still have to investigate the Jack the Ripper case. No farewell." After that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Andrew quickly blocked the door and shouted: "Jack? Is that villain more important than my Peter? I have heard about your deeds, Scotland Yard let you go, and you started investigating disappearances for others. None of this matters , let me see you again!"
Xing Huan took advantage of the situation and said, "Since the Duke misses Peter so much, maybe I can let you meet." Afterwards, he took out the revised contract.
Andrew was completely bewildered by Xing Huan.After he signed his name, Xing Huan finally showed a smile that was bound to win.
Soon, Xing Huan summoned the undead of Peter McLean in the bedroom, and also reserved 5 minutes for them.
After Xing Huan exited the room, Andrew exclaimed: “Peter, is it really you?”
I saw that Peter turned around, grinned like Xing Huan, and said, "Oh, so it's you, an old fox." After that, he put his hands behind his back, looking a little shy.
Oh God!This is Peter, his naughtiest grandson!Andrew was moved to tears and continued to talk to Peter.
When talking about the horse, Peter's face darkened: "Grandfather, there was a heavy rain the day before I rode the horse, and the grass was very slippery. Lucy didn't press me on purpose, but you killed it." The "Lucy" in the mouth is the name of the horse.
"My dear child, Lucy killed you, can you understand how I feel?"
"I understand how you feel, and it would be nice if you could understand how I feel too." Peter looked away.After that, he couldn't bear it again, and looked at Andrew again: "Grandfather, I didn't feel any pain when I passed away, so don't think about that moment any more."
These words drilled into Andrew's heart, making his chest ache.
Peter suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said, "I won't ask Lucy to forgive you, but I have already forgiven you."
"Oh Peter, don't you leave me!!"
Andrew burst into tears, and finally saw his grandson in his lifetime...
While the grandfather and grandson were reminiscing about the past, Xing Huan came to the restaurant led by two maids.
The servants of the Duke's Mansion are very friendly to Xing Huan. They not only think that he looks like Peter, but also has a somewhat similar personality.Xing Huan didn't think so, he just gnawed on the chicken wings silently.It wasn't until he tasted all the delicacies in the Duke's Mansion that Andrew regained his mood and strode out of the bedroom.
After learning that Xing Huan was in the restaurant, Andrew drove away the idlers and others, and peeked at Xing Huan's back from the door.
"It's so unpalatable." Xing Huan threw away the chicken wings and grabbed a bunch of grapes.
As he ate and drank, Andrew hesitated, unsure whether to reveal his secret to the public.
Andrew really understood in seconds, he knew what kind of disaster Xing Huan's special skills would cause!
After hesitating again and again, he poked the ground with his cane, trying to get Xing Huan's attention.Xing Huan glanced behind him, and the Peter-like eyes surprised him again.
Just as Xing Huan was about to get up, Andrew said as he walked, "It's okay, don't worry about me, just eat if you want." He raised his stick high, and his mood soared.
Xing Huan had already eaten and drank enough, so he wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.
"Oh, Mr. Lemon, you really surprised me!" Andrew pushed Xing Huan back into the chair, and sat next to him again, "So you really inherited the blood of the Lemon family, and you still make a living from it .”
When he said these words, Andrew always had a smile on his face.Xing Huan didn't think he was really happy, it was probably the prelude to the storm.
Sure enough, Andrew shook his beard and said solemnly: "Mr. Lemon, I am very grateful to you for helping me. But you and I both know that witchcraft is forbidden. Besides, you can also use psychic techniques, just in case You apply this skill to the military and it's bound to cause chaos."
"Oh, really?" Xing Huan's innocent eyes flashed, and he continued to eat grapes.
"To say or not to say, that's a question." Andrew also started to eat grapes, but was almost soured to death by Xing Huan's remaining grapes.
"My lord, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Think about it—I'm just using an analogy—in case the undead you summon has a dead soldier, whether the soldier is friend or foe, he has a lot of secrets. If he leaks secrets in front of you, you know Does that mean anything?"
This means that Xing Huan has mastered the military power of this country and instantly killed all the special intelligence agencies!
Thinking of this, Xing Huan pursed his lips and smiled.It's a pity that he came to farm with the wild man, so he didn't have this idea.
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Besides, you and I have signed a confidentiality contract, and you can't tell others my secret. Believe it or not, that's the question." After saying that, Xing Huan was about to leave.
Andrew was very reluctant to part with Xing Huan, so he threatened: "Mr. Lemon, the contract is just a piece of waste paper. As the Duke, I can throw you into Scotland Yard at any time, and let Inspector Edward put you in Claflin prison!"
Xing Huan froze in place, suddenly remembered Edward, and Edward's police uniform...
Andrew thought Xing Huan was afraid, so he spoke more vigorously.
"You know, half of the villains in Claflin Prison were arrested by Inspector Edward himself. He must be very honored to arrest you!"
Oh, it seems that the Duke's news is not well-informed.Xing Huan really wanted to introduce Isabel to him.
Afterwards, Xing Huan turned around and said coldly: "Your Excellency, the contract is not as simple as a scrap of paper. I have already cast witchcraft on it. If you dare not abide by the agreement, the punishment regulations above will definitely be honored." .”
Andrew was terrified, and immediately asked Xing Huan for a contract.
Before that, his mind was full of Peter, and he hadn't read the contract seriously.However, when he saw the first row, he almost exploded... Leakers get sores on their ass... What the hell is this? !
Andrew became more and more angry, and tore the contract to pieces on the spot!
"It's useless to destroy it, we have already reached a witchcraft agreement." Xing Huan waved his hand behind him, and then walked away.
After stepping out of the Duke's mansion, Xing Huan saw Edward standing in the wind.
Edward hid him behind him at once, and said to Andrew who was chasing him out, "Master Duke, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Ah, Edward, you came just in time, catch the little fox for me!"
"Oh, what crime did he commit?"
Andrew was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that his butt would get sores... So he swallowed his anger and let Xing Huan go.
After Xing Huan got into the carriage, the Grand Duke was filled with grief and joy.Since losing Peter, no one has played with him like this.
Xing Huan had never visited such a noble member of the royal family, and the Duke's personality was notoriously unpredictable, which made Edward very worried.Without further delay, he turned around and stepped into the carriage, heading straight for the Grand Duke's mansion.
