[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

"Are you going to live in the duke's mansion?" Eugenie was a little unwilling to accept this, she wanted to see Charles every day, if he went to the duke's mansion, she would rarely see him After all, she can't enter and leave the Duke's mansion at all, even if it's near the Duke's mansion, ordinary people can't just walk around.

"Yes Yes."

"But there's no need to go tonight, cousin, you can stay until early tomorrow morning, I think everyone in the Earl's Mansion must have rested tonight." Eugenie persuaded, she felt that even if she and It would be good for Shaldo to stay for a while.

"No, I need to leave immediately." Charles picked up his luggage and walked out resolutely.

"Ah, he's dead!" At this moment, there was a shrill scream from outside. From the direction of the sound, it should be the location of the hotel in the city.

Not long after the scream passed, the whole city of Saumur became noisy, and even the remote street where Grandet's family lived quickly became noisy. People on the street went out one after another to find out what happened. What happened? It is not a strange thing to die alone in Saumur, but the scream shows that the death of that person is absolutely abnormal. This is very rare in the streets of Saumur. People here live in peace all year round. As we live, it is rare to see something strange.

"What's going on outside?" Eugenie ran to the window facing the street, hurriedly opened the window and looked outside, and saw many people in dressing gowns, morning hats and candlesticks. went to the street.

"Anna, Anna, what's the matter?" Eugenie called to a maid from the neighboring house who was running downstairs.

"Oh, Mademoiselle Grandet, I heard that someone died in old Soko's tavern."

"Oh, God, how could such a thing happen, how did that man die." Eugenie asked, covering her mouth in surprise.

"I heard that he was killed! I have to go and see, Miss Grandet, you'd better go to sleep, don't come out casually." Anna said, and then hurriedly ran to the hotel with her skirt in hand.

"Cousin, I think you'd better not go out tonight, it's too dangerous outside." Eugenie turned to Charles after closing the window, but she found that Charles was shaking violently. "Cousin, you are shaking, what's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine, just let me get out of here." Charles said and walked towards the door.

Eugenie immediately ran to the door and blocked Charles' way. She was worried that Charles, who was not feeling well, would go out, especially at such a dangerous night.

"Cousin, you must stay, your face is as white as paper." Eugenie said, while reaching out to touch Charles' trembling hand that was about to lose its grip on the luggage, she felt a coldness. "Cousin, you must have caught a cold. Your hands are cold. You can't go. I'll send Nanon to find a doctor right away."

Ciel tried to explain that he was fine, but another scream from outside almost broke him.

"Murder, it's murder, call the police!"

Eugenie didn't care whether it was murder or suicide at the moment, she was only worried about Charles' physical condition.Just at this time, the sound of Nanon waking up came from downstairs, and Eugenie ran to the door and opened it, wanting to call Nanon to call the doctor, "Take... woo woo woo..."

Charles covered Eugenie's mouth in time, dragged her into the room, and then kicked the door shut, "Cousin, if you promise not to shout, I'll let you go, do you hear me?"

Eugenie nodded repeatedly, she was very puzzled by Charles' behavior, because Charles' expression at the moment was really scary.After Charles let go of her, Eugenie quickly asked: "Cousin, what happened, what happened, you are going to the duke's mansion, aren't you?"

At this moment, there were voices calling for police officers everywhere outside, Charles sat down on the ground, covered his forehead with his hands and said: "Cousin, I made a big mistake, but that is definitely not what I want to do, I just want to Just want what I deserve.”

"I believe you. No one wants to make mistakes. Then, cousin, please tell me what mistake you made?" Eugenie asked, kneeling down and taking Charles' other hand.

Charles didn't answer his question, he was only crying on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to best get rid of his suspicions, how to make his life better in the future, it seems that the more desperate people are, the worse they are It is easy to show a little remarkable ability, Charles's mind is running at a high speed at the moment, and he guarantees that it is the first time in his life that he is thinking about things so quickly.

In the next room, Mr. Grandet and Mrs. Grandet were also woken up. Neither of them were nosy people, but what happened outside seemed to be a big event, so the two finally got up. They He ran downstairs with a candle and asked Nanon who had just run back into the house from the street: "Nanon, did you find out anything outside?"

"Yes, yes," said Nanon.

In the past, the news of a small closed city like Saumur always spread quite slowly, but the news of this murder case like this night spread very fast, and almost everyone in Saumur woke up and went to the small town. Rushing to the hotel, everyone crowded the narrow road and ran forward, while inquiring about the situation ahead.And those who knew what happened in the small hotel were also willing to share what they saw and heard with others, so they quickly added what they knew to the people next to them, and then those who heard it Coupled with my own imagination, I told others to listen to it, so that it was passed down round and round, even people far away in the hotel knew what happened, but they knew it and really thought it was absolutely different Thousands of miles away.

Nanon just ran to a place farther down the street to ask a person, got an answer from him, and ran back. At this moment, she shouted loudly: "Oh, sir, old Soko died in the hotel. People, I heard that five people died, and they were all killed in their own rooms. I heard that the corpses were all cut into pieces the size of fingers, and the maid who delivered the supper was shocked when she saw it. After all, the hotel in old Soko is full of blood and bits of human flesh now! It's just horrible, God, why does this happen in such a nice and peaceful place like ours."

"Come on, don't talk nonsense here." Mr. Grandet is used to the habit of the residents of Saumur City who are good at exaggerating things, but as a shrewd businessman, he can always separate from these exaggerated words. What he wanted, he saw Nanon and Mrs. Grandet's faces pale with fright, and said: "It would be really thankful if the old Socco's shop could accommodate five customers a day, There are at most two or three customers in his store tonight, and he wants to kill those two or three customers in a store that has no sound insulation effect at all, and then cut them into small pieces the size of stew, and put It's impossible to get blood everywhere in the store, Nanon, impossible, so I say that at most one person died, and his death was not very terrible."

"Master, how can you say that, no one is murdered and it's not scary." Nanon said.

"Okay, okay, let's go and see for ourselves. I think everyone has gone now. If we don't go, we will have nothing to talk to others tomorrow." Mr. Grandet said, from the fireplace He found a glass lamp and put the shortest piece of candle in the hands of the three of them into it, then blew out the other two candles and said, "Hurry up, or the candle will go out."

The three hurried away, leaving Eugenie and Charles alone at home.

The Duke's mansion also got the news at this time. The two servants Tom and Steele who were sent to follow Shire before followed Shire to the old Soko's hotel. After Shire entered, they ran to the back of the hotel in the yard, and then ran from the roof of the stable to the only upstairs room with a lighted window.The two of them witnessed Baheil Bey's attempt to kill Shire, but Shire killed him, and then Shire left the body pretending to be asleep.Both Tom and Steele are the personal servants of the Duke of Louis, and they have experienced countless murders and assassinations, so the two did not panic, but after discussing it, they decided that Tom, who was physically stronger, would stay in the hotel Watching what happened next, Steele, who was running fast, went back to report the news.

"So, Charles Grandet did stupid things because he wanted to get some reward from the dead man in the hotel, but he didn't know that those medicines were poisons that could kill, so in fact he was just a man who was ready to throw away at any time." It’s just a chess piece. It’s a pity that the opponent miscalculated his strength, and instead of killing the chess piece, the man was killed by the chess piece.” After hearing what happened, Duke Louis said, after Dr. Carter put some After the blood, he already felt much better. Although he was a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, it was far better than the pain caused by poisoning.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, we were planning to go in and search the dead man's belongings to see if we could know his identity or get some clues. Unfortunately, the maid who came to deliver supper came into the room, so we had to arrange for someone to report the news. Stay there alone looking for a chance to enter that room," Tom said.

"Good job. Now that the body has been found, they will soon find the police officer. By then, anyone with a brain can guess that the murderer is Charles Grandet." Duke Louis said, turning his head. Looking at Yang Yi who was eating at the table on the other side of the room, he asked, "Do you want me to save Charles Grandet?"

Yang Yi put down the knife and fork, frowned and said: "Actually, my father told me that he hadn't contacted my uncle for more than 30 years, and of course he didn't know whether he had a son or a daughter, let alone seeing them. This time Charles Grandet came here and the only thing that could prove his identity was my uncle's suicide note, but the suicide note only said that his son was called Charles Grandet, and we don't know anything else .”

Yang Yi's attitude is very clear. He doesn't want to protect this kind of person who has conclusive evidence and committed a double crime. Although he didn't intend to protect Shire in the first place, he can protect the Grandet family from being angered by Duke Louis. It's already good.

"Then, Tom, go and convey a message to the police officer, tell him that as long as he catches the criminal, don't implicate the innocent, and finish this case as soon as possible. I don't want to disturb the nature of the visit here." Duke Louis said.
