Chapter 517: Shocking changes in the castle
The night is getting deeper.
The carriages that the Lord and his wife were riding in, as well as the cavalry guarding them, were already on the way back to the castle.
And there were three more people in the carriage.
"Now there are no outsiders here, can you tell me?" Coman asked not long after leaving.
At this moment, Old Feng, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who were sitting side by side opposite Koman and Madame Venasa, were both looking out the window with their heads tilted, as if they didn't dare to meet Koman's eyes.
Of course, the real reason why they dare not look here is definitely not because they are afraid of looking at Kohman, but because as long as they look at Kohman, their eyes will definitely fall directly or indirectly on Madame Venasa.
Then think about it... In this narrow and bumpy carriage, under the only shaking lantern light in the carriage... Can you see the picture on the lady's side without paying money?
You can't even watch it if you spend money.
Therefore, in order to avoid the wife's sight from "offending" her wife, the three of them could only use this more exaggerated attitude throughout the whole process to avoid suspicion.
However, if you should answer, you still have to answer.
"Have you heard of the word 'witch hunter'?" Two seconds after Koman asked the question, Sun Yixie replied.
Koeman is a powerful man at least, so he still has this insight: "So... are you?"
"To be honest, our entire circus is." At this point, they obviously had no need to hide this from Koeman. Besides, Koeman and his wife were in the carriage, and he said it, "Or... we have never been a circus."
Once these words were put here, Koeman knew all the abnormalities in their gangs.
However, it will take some time to completely digest this information, so Koeman did not immediately talk about the serious matters, but stretched his eyebrows first and made an optional joke: "Then you really have entered the wrong career. I think your circus is pretty good."
"Who said no?" Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie raised his voice and started to gild his face with other people's jokes. "It's a pity that our group of people are too enlightened! In order to kill demons and eliminate demons and uphold justice, they can only give up the promising profession of clown."
Everyone, I’m afraid you don’t know, so I took a mouthful of it here. When I said this, Sun Huang’s red nose had not yet taken off.
"Hmm..." Old Feng also felt that Brother Sun's tone was a little high at this time, so he was afraid that he would not be able to stop it, so he quickly pretended to clear his throat and interrupted to make up for it, "That... you have won the award. Our circus is just the same..."
"So why do you have to spend so much effort to pretend to be a circus?" The next second, unexpectedly, Mrs. Venaza joined the conversation, "Isn't it enough to just go on the road with lightness? If you don't say it, who will care about what you do?"
Not to mention, although the lady was slamming her neck and collarbone with a fan, and squirting her face as she sucked her despised face, she almost threw her face, "Because you guys have also entered the carriage, it has become stuffy and squeezing here"... However, the question she asked was quite important, and it can even be said that her reaction was faster than Koeman.
"The reason here is quite complicated." On the other hand, Huang Donglai also responded quickly, "Simply put, the matter that our team has to solve is quite dangerous. If you don't pretend to be this level, there are some very bad lessons." He paused, "But... I can't say anything more specifically, because if you know, it may bring you danger."
"Oh?" Koeman continued after hearing this, "So, my business tonight is a trivial matter?"
He would ask this because when he was in the circus, Sun, Huang and Feng finally discussed with him that the statement was "Let the three of us go back to the castle first to investigate the death of Your Excellency Miguel. If possible, we will help you solve the real murderer."
Then Koman thought, this deal would definitely not be a loss...
First of all, as long as he agrees to this suggestion, he can get out safely with his men and doesn't have to worry about a fire with the circus.
Secondly, when you return to the castle, it will be his world. At that time, the soldiers of his castle will turn against you three.
However, according to Koeman's judgment, it should not have developed to the point of turning against each other, because if these three people are really malicious, they will just attack directly in the circus. Why leave so many accomplices without going back with him? So they are likely to be trusted.
However, when I heard Huang Donglai's words, Koeman suddenly felt: You may not be malicious, but according to your statement, since your work is so dangerous, then are you only three of you underestimated me for this matter?
"No, no, please don't get me wrong." Huang Donglai may have heard Koman's unhappiness and quickly turned around. "Our operation is called "tuming stones and asking for directions", which means sending a small number of elites to investigate and test... If the matter is not big, the three of us will help you directly. If the matter is big, we will make a mistake."
"That's right." Sun Yixie also quickly pried over, "If we really bring dozens of people with you as soon as we come up, the murderer was shocked...what should we do if we let him run away?"
"Oh... that's it." Koeman nodded thoughtfully.
But Madame Venaza then laughed out loud and said to Koman: "Dear, I see these two clowns can both observe their expressions and expressions, and they are also skillful. If they are captured and presented to the king, you will definitely get a reward."
"Oh~" Koeman waved his hand, "Madam, everyone said that clowns are covers, they are witch hunters... Have you heard it clearly..." He said this, and felt that this was meaningless and might annoy his wife, so he changed his words, "Uh... Yes, Madam is right, I will consider it."
Lao Feng didn't appreciate anything about this scene, but when it fell on Sun Huang, both of them thought to themselves: "It's not right... This lady seems to be a master who pretends to be confused."
…………
This journey is not long, more than half an hour away.
But because we can't talk too much about the Rangers organization, and the silence is a little awkward, Sun Huang unknowingly started talking about some strange stories from the East.
In the second half, Huang Donglai simply started his solo performance, which was so roaring, and Koman and Mrs. Venaza..., including Lao Feng, also listened with relish.
If the destination hadn't arrived, I guess these people would have been sitting there for two hours without sleepiness.
Of course...
"Father, something happened! Come down and take a look!"
Outside the carriage, Roy's report, which was obviously a little panicked, suddenly made everyone in the car get out of the relaxed chat atmosphere.
Before Koman could reach out, Sun Yixie slapped open the car door like lightning, and looked out with an extremely efficient, stingy head-eyed protruding action, and then rushed out of the car.
Huang Donglai and Lao Feng were also people who had been through the killing formation for a long time. Seeing Sun Yixie's actions, he followed closely.
"Madam, stay in the car first and don't come out." Koman became the last one to get out of the car. Before getting off the car, he turned around and explained to his wife.
"Be careful! Dear..." When Mrs. Venasa replied, Koman, who had already arrived outside the car, happened to help her close the door.
So what exactly is Roy talking about "what happened"?
Koeman came and found out without explaining the other party.
After all, this is his castle. Although it is still a little distance away and it is night, at a glance, he can still use the firelight on the city walls and posts to know that there is no one at all the guards that should be there.
Of course, no one figure came out of the castle to greet their carriages and cavalry.
"Father..." Roy had already dismounted at this time. When he saw Coman walking to his side, he leaned closer to him and said, "This is not a matter of one or two people dereliction of duty, but..."
"I saw it... Roy, you have a few people here to protect your wife. If you feel that something is wrong, you can retreat first." Koman said, waved to a cavalry next to him and made a gesture. The latter immediately understood and handed him a long sword.
After taking the sword, Koman immediately turned his head and looked at the cavalry behind him, and ordered: "You guys, line up and join me..."
"Slow!" At this time, Lao Feng interrupted him, "In this case, I don't recommend that ordinary people go in directly..."
As he spoke, he lifted a small cross hanging from a pendant from his collar.
"My cross can sense the evil existence in the world. At this moment, its surface gradually becomes colder, which means..." Lao Feng was explaining.
This time Koeman interrupted him in turn: "Pay attention to your wording, Untouchables, who do you call ordinary people?"
At this time, Koeman had obviously entered a highly aggressive state of combat readiness due to the drastic changes in front of him. His expression became sharp and his tone was very cold... as if he was still talking and laughing with this "unpreience" just now, another person was talking and laughing.

"I don't care whether what you call 'evil' or a stupid mutiny waiting for me, I... Koman Gabriel Basta is the legal master of this castle and a warrior with all kinds of battles... If anyone thinks he can do anything wrong in my house, then I will use the sword in my hand to tell him how outrageous he was wrong!"
After he said loudly, the cavalrymen who followed him also drew their swords and drank them. It seemed that Koeman was good at training troops on weekdays and was highly respected by his subordinates.
"At least..." Lao Feng did not argue with him, nor did he get angry because the other party suddenly called him a pariah. At this time, Lao Feng still put the overall situation first and replied calmly, "Let's go in with you and help you open the way in front."
Upon hearing this, Koeman looked at Lao Feng deeply, and then did not respond, just nodded.
So, Lao Feng immediately looked at Sun Huang, which meant... Brothers, come on, it's time for us to show off.
But what about those two guys...
"Oh, my face suddenly hurts a little. Otherwise, I will stay here to protect my wife, go." Sun Yixie gave up as soon as he spoke.
"Leave a hammer!" Huang Donglai didn't like him, "I tell you, the situation before is hard to say. Anyway, I haven't seen the Yin Qi at the moment. I don't know if it's because there are different mechanisms in the West, or because the enemy is not the kind of thing with Yin Qi... So the 'corpse spot radar' on your face is now very important."
"Mom... I'm just called the 'Corpse Radar' now, right?" Sun Yixie first complained about the word, and then asked back, "Didn't Old Feng say he has a cross that can be investigated? What's the difference?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Is he accurate with you?" Huang Donglai also asked with a tilted face and his mouth tilted, "Don't mess around, just say you're scared now?"
He is actually nonsense. In the middle of the night, facing a castle that already clearly has "evil", how can Brother Sun not be timid?
"Okay, so annoying! After all, you have to rely on me!" Sun Yixie knew that she couldn't lose her voice, so her voice just became louder, and she was also giving herself courage from some angle.
After shouting this, he shook his hand and turned into a trident out of thin air, then ignored everyone around him and walked towards the gate of the castle.
Koman, Lao Feng and the cavalrymen put it there for a long time to exaggerate the heroic atmosphere, and was instantly dissipated by Sun Huang's operation.
They didn't know whether to make fun of Sun Huang, despise the conversation just now, or were shocked by Sun Yixie's sudden "magic"... Anyway, when they came to their senses, Sun Huang and the others had stepped into the castle one after another.
Then they have nothing to say, so hurry up and follow.
…………
In the castle, the lanterns, torches and candles that should be lit are all on, but I just don’t see any living people.
But... there are still dead people, or corpses.
Guards, servants, chefs, maids, etc., these bodies seem to be randomly distributed throughout the castle.
Most of them seemed to be just doing daily things before they died, and then suddenly fell down.
Does this description look familiar?
Yes, the way these people died was the same as Miguel - the corpses also had "blood roses" on their chests, and their faces were bleeding in seven orifices.
I guess someone has reasoned that what happened here tonight was indeed a poisoning incident.
Huang Donglai tried to make a fool of himself before: "Miguel died after eating something toxic a few hours ago." In fact, he happened to be right.
Tonight, the murderer wanted the Koeman family to see a horror scene where "all the soldiers and servants in the castle died" when they came back from the circus.
And his method of poisoning is not complicated, just to poison the "red kiss" into the "employee meal" of the castle.
After that, he waited. After the employees in the castle had finished eating in batches, he activated the effect of "cursive poison" and made the "rose" in everyone's body open at the same time.
So why is Miguel the only one who went to watch the circus?
It was very simple, because even the murderer did not expect that Miguel, the captain of the cavalry team, had a chance to leave before he set off. He sneaked to the back of the kitchen alone and took a few bites to eat...
The other guards and cavalry were strictly guarding their posts and responsibilities. For the escort mission tonight, they were busy preparing horses and luggage before departure, so they didn't have supper at all.
As for the Koman family, their food was provided separately, and the poisoned people did not intend to poison them, so there would be no trouble.
In short, Miguel's death was also an accident for the murderer.
So...who is it, how much hatred does he have with Koeman? It takes so much trouble to create such a scene?
Don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon.
Chapter completed!
