Dong Dong——

A heavy knock on the door spread in the garden of the duplex castle.

Linden and the other two arrived at the castle just in time for dusk.

This time is just right. Generally, you won’t encounter dangers from the edge world, and Jana can leave the briefcase and do activities.

Lin Deng rubbed the soles of his shoes hard on the bluestone steps, trying to remove all the mud.

Behind them, there were long haystacks that had not been maintained for a long time, and there were obvious traces of trampling.

There were no normal roads, so they had to walk on grass.

Looking up at the majestic building with a sense of age in front of me...

It is hard to imagine that a private residence of this size only belongs to a small noble family.

When he first arrived at the castle complex, Linden only thought that the layout of the buildings here was special, and every tall building was far apart.

Walking to one of the houses in person, he understood the reason.

The West Street Castle Group was not the cluster of townhouses he thought it was, with each family having one room.

My vision is still too narrow-minded.

Every noble family here enjoys a large area of ​​land. How many houses they want to build depends on how big the area is.

The distance between the two castles is almost longer than an ordinary commercial street.

This is how the nobles of Loft City live.

It is said that

Going deeper into the castle complex, there will be even more exaggerated architectural structures.

However, due to the large buildings blocking the view, Linden was unable to observe from a distance to confirm this statement.

besides,

When Linden first entered the castle complex, he felt a strong sense of strangeness.

As they walked deeper into the residence of a small noble, he realized why.

Where are the servants?

Aren't noble families supposed to have many servants?

Not to mention the servants, he didn't even see a living person.

The West Street Castles are too eerie. They are obviously a living area and it’s not dark yet.

However, the "Vigil Regulations" are strictly enforced.

Creak——

The old-fashioned wooden door, which was as tall as two Antars, slowly opened a gap.

"Who is it? We don't accept guests."

A hoarse, unclear voice came from inside the house.

"Sheriff, there's something I want to know."

Linden came closer to speak and said politely,

"We have a search warrant. Can we go in and have a chat?"

There was silence in the room for a moment before the voice responded:

"Please wait a moment, I need to ask the master."

The door was closed tightly again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Linden released Jiana.

Antar scratched the curly hair on his head, tilted his head, and said doubtfully:

"I thought you were joking? Do you really want to rely on her?"

"Yes, can I really..."

Jana wasn't very confident either. She hugged her legs and floated in the air, softly echoing Antar.

"Don't underestimate your abilities."

Lyndon encouraged her,

"You are the first official employee of Linden's personal office. Don't destroy our sign."

"You two, please don't put any pressure on her?"

Falcon rolled her eyes, she took Jana's hand,

"Jiana, be brave. You can never go wrong if you try. If you feel in danger, escape to a safe place in time, or return to Linden.

Don’t let anyone find you, remember?”

When facing Jana, Falcon showed unprecedented tenderness, patting the back of her hand while speaking.

"Okay, okay..."

Jiana silently cheered herself up and rubbed her face twice.

Combined with her facial features, she looks a bit scary.

Something fun?

Anyway, Linden is used to it now.

Jana turned around, floated upwards, and penetrated into the castle building.

at the same time,

The door opened again.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler, his hands naturally dropped in front of his abdomen, and his neck and back were straight.

Using his waist as an axis, he bowed deeply and faced the ground.

"My master invites several officers to come in. Please come in this way."

The housekeeper stretched out his hand and drew a graceful arc, with his fingertips facing the inside of the door.

His steps also cleverly moved his position to make way for people to pass.

However, Linden and the other three had no intention of leaving.

"You were not the one who opened the door before, and your voices are different."

Falcon narrowed his eyes slightly and questioned,

"How many housekeepers do you have in your family?"

The butler's voice is clear, resonant, and his enunciation is generous.

"Sir, it's just me. It was me just now.

It’s just that I haven’t had any guests for a long time, so I thought someone was maliciously harassing me, so I wasn’t very polite.”

While the butler was explaining, Lyndon was also observing his facial expressions.

Lyndon noticed that his brows tightened and then relaxed very quickly.

There is a situation.

He gave himself a warning in his mind, and then showed his signature kind smile:

"So that's it! It doesn't matter. I just want to know something about the situation. Please lead the way!"

"Okay sir."

The butler turned around and walked towards the castle.

Linden and the three exchanged glances with each other, and the meaning was self-evident.

The first floor of the castle is very empty, with a burgundy carpet extending straight to the stairs, and candlelight sconces hung neatly on the walls on both sides.

Between each wall lamp, a piece of art is displayed.

The little nobleman who lives here is named Louis. He and his wife are relatively young and have no heirs yet.

Information shows that Mr. Louis was relatively low in the family succession order a few years ago and had no right to own this castle.

But later, the other heirs of the Louis family disappeared inexplicably. Even though he was highly suspicious, he was still succeeded according to the law in the end.

Among the many targets, Chateau Louis seems to be the most problematic.

This is why they chose to start their investigation from this noble family.

"Mr. Lewis likes art very much! It's very stylish."

Linden opened his mouth and said in praise,

"Does he have any other hobbies?"

"Sir, you mean...?"

"Just like black goats. I heard that aristocratic circles like to raise these things."

"Oh, this! Of course, the owner is an expert in breeding black goats!"

"Really? That's really amazing. I've never seen a black goat before. Hey, have you seen one?"

Linden nudged Antar beside him with his elbow, indicating that he would cooperate with him.

"Ah? Oh, how can I have the money to raise a black goat? I can't even afford it myself."

"Haha, don't go out drinking and spend money. If you save some money, you can definitely save it."

"That doesn't work, drinking is more important."

"Oh, I can't talk to someone like you who has no advanced taste."

Linden let out a long sigh and sighed with envy,

"If I save enough money one day, I will definitely buy a cub and raise it.

Everyone says that only nobles are qualified to keep black goats as pets, I really want to experience the scenery of being a noble."

The four of them stepped onto the spiral staircase leading to a higher floor.

Falcon walked in the last position without saying a word, letting Lyndon and Antal play each other.

With these two people as cover, she had more space to collect hidden details.

"Stop dreaming! Look at the aristocratic style of this person. Do you still want to raise black goats in your small bungalow?"

"Don't question my dream, okay?"

"..."

During the conversation, the two men repeated the word "black goat" repeatedly.

No matter how far the topic strays, it will always come back to you in the end.

The housekeeper suddenly turned around and stared at Linden seriously.

"Why don't you leave? Lead the way!"

Linden pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted.

"Sir, do you really want to raise black goats?"

"yes!"

Hearing his affirmative reply, the butler smiled strangely and his facial muscles tensed up stiffly.

"Then look..."

The fingers of his hands were interlaced close to his face, and the back of his hands covered his uncontrollably opened mouth.

Tick--

A drop of liquid fell and shattered... Immediately afterwards, a series of shattering sounds sounded in succession!

The butler could no longer hide his expression, the corners of his mouth were torn and raised, and he repeated the same whisper like a fool.

"Then you see——
Chapter completed!
