152, the strange case of the thorn flower manor (11)
"Your Excellency, pay attention to your duties!"
Lawrence educated him as soon as he came in.
"I understand, I understand, I will find the murderer..."
"The first thing is to ensure the fair inheritance of the property, and not allow irrelevant people to get money."
He knocked his fingers on the table and made a loud noise.
Mi Lu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Your mother's body is not cold, is this too ruthless..."
"You also saw our relationship last night. Is it necessary to pretend to be hypocritical?"
It's really naked... Mi Lu couldn't help laughing, "Then the irrelevant people you mentioned..."
He thought the other party was referring to Xiao Lao, but he got other answers.
"The person from the Elemental Tower, and that pharmacist."
Mi Luwei was unconscious. He could understand Hornheim, but the former... he and his uncle were not in harmony?
"Can you tell me in detail about the story between Mrs. Grieway and the Elemental Tower? You seem to have a lot of complaints about this."
Lawrence sighed and sat down helplessly.
"I know this happened five years ago..."
As Mr. Xiao Lao said, as the eldest son, Lawrence has been operating a business in other places. In addition to the mines, there are several farms and chambers of commerce in his hands, so he seems particularly busy. He is fifty years old, but he looks as old as his uncle.
Naturally, the business will not go smoothly, especially Lawrence is full of enthusiasm and tries to increase the scale of his own business several times. So a few years ago, he hired a magician who claimed to have a lot of experience in alchemy to try to innovate mining technology, and even came up with the idea of reprocessing instead of selling raw ore.
Although he himself said that this road was "bumpy", Mi Lu probably meant crazy losses. From project establishment to results to conversion to commercial value, it was a difficult road. For countries like Morningstar, which had underdeveloped magic technology, it was even more bottomless. Therefore, Lawrence threw almost all the money in his hand and didn't hear a sound. He heard that my mother was going to get married and ran back cleanly to prevent the inheritance from being separated.
There was something else before this. A few years ago, when he tightened his belt to do scientific research, he reached out to ask his family for money, but that time he was told that he had no money. He was shocked and came back to interrogate it himself. Only then did he realize that the money was divided into two shares, one was given to Hornheim, and the other part was donated to the Elemental Tower by Rubis's hand.
The former is easy to say, but it also belongs to "scientific research funds", but the latter donated it in the name of "praying for God's gifts"...
Since then, Lawrence has disliked his uncle and Hornheim, and he has no good eyes on his younger brother. Xiao Lao's thoughts can be seen clearly by the outsider. In order to please his mother, he even lost his mind and did not even stop such things. Instead, he used her temperament. Lawrence felt that the younger brother was either crazy or stupid, so he simply didn't take him seriously.
"I am very sure that the money donated to the tower was taken away by Rubis!" Lawrence said excitedly, and even called his uncle a name.
"He is from the Elemental Tower. He left Goethe Town five years ago. Before that, he had been in charge of taxation and money dealings between the tower and the town hall. He had the ability to do so! He usually refused to come back no matter how his mother begged him. This time, look how active he is!"
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Lawrence." Mi Lu comforted, "that is, Mr. Rubis and Sean had known each other early in the morning?"
"Shaun?Shaun!?"
Lawrence suddenly looked up, paced back and forth like a nerve, murmured:
"Yes, Sean... I should have thought of it long ago... I should have thought of it long ago!!
"Yes, it's the two of them! Because of him, Rubis can know the will in advance than any of us! It must be like this... Could my mother tell him the content of the will in the letter... No, there must be something wrong with Sean's will, I must stop him!"
"Calm down, Mr. Lawrence, calm down. Everything needs to be proven..."
"Where is the Sean? I want to confront him in person!"
Mi Lu smiled, "He...he and Mr. Wyen chatted in the small dark room."
Lawrence frowned, "You, did you imprison him?"
"I don't have that kind of hobby... I also think he and Mr. Lubis are too close to each other and separate the two." Mi Lu shrugged, "Is there anything else I can tell me? About Mrs. Greeway's past, about Mr. Hornheim..."
"What are you thinking, Mr. Xia Zhi." Lawrence snorted coldly, "I am not the nightingale of the Thorn Night Song, how could I stare at them from a thousand miles away? Are you trying to make my words?"
"Uh...you're over-concerned."
Mi Lu asked some other things casually, but did not get any useful information, so he simply let him leave.
He sat quietly at the table, everyone's words circling in his mind, and finally he was like a headphone cable thrown into his pocket, somehow it became an insolvable mess... It was really annoying...
"Dong"
He slapped the table, leaving a shallow handprint.
"I really want to fight to solve any problem. I will never stop this kind of copy again next time."
Leaning on the table, briefly emptying my brain for ten seconds, the door was pushed.
Mi Lu sat down again and looked at the gardener.
The old gardener was a little restrained, as if he was facing Mi Lushi again and didn't know how to look at him in front of him. After all, as a senior, he had educated the other party before.
Mi Lu didn't know how to ask, especially when he saw the other party's cowardly look, he felt more and more headache.
This kind of honest person is often accompanied by expressions such as nervousness and panic, making it difficult for you to tell whether he is like this or is hiding something. It can be said to be a natural protective color. Mi Lu really hates that he does not have the golden fingers of mind reading...
"Xia, Mr. Xiazhi."
The gardener bowed and clenched his torn hat, with no place to place his eyes or body.
"Just sit there." Mi Lu pointed.
"Okay, OK, thank you."
He sat down, hunched over, cautiously.
Mi Lu stared at him for a few seconds, then he simply said straight to the point: "Where were you before it rained last night?"
The gardener shivered clearly.
"I...I...is, I'm in the house..."
Mi Lu sighed, "Captain John has taken someone to search your house."
The gardener was unmoved.
"I know, you brushed the soles of your shoes and threw the mud into the flowerbed, perfectly, and you didn't even burn the will that Mrs. Grieway threw, because the embers would expose you."
Mi Lu stood up, walked behind him, and pressed the gardener's thin shoulder with one hand.
"I'm thinking, you hide it there..."
The gardener's body trembled uncontrollably.
"The worst result is that you tore it apart and swallow it... If that's the case, I just need one word, Captain John will take someone to cut open your stomach, take out the pulp mixed with blood, and then hold you, your son, and your whole family responsible..."
"Plop"
The gardener flipped down from the chair and knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.
"I, I swear, I swear to Mia, I did nothing to hurt Mrs. Greeve...but, but..."
"Then what did you do?"
"I can't say it. I was forced to swear to Miya in the name of my son, that if he said it, he would die in a bad life...Forgive me, Mr. Xia Zhi, forgive me...I, I promise you that I have absolutely no harm to Mrs. Greeve, I didn't even step into the castle..."
Mi Lu sighed.
"You love your son more than everything?"
The gardener was stunned for a moment, then crawled over and hugged Mi Lu's legs tightly.
"Yes, that's it, please, please let him go, he is innocent..."
Mi Lu pryed away his hand silently. The difference in strength between the two was too big, which was almost effortless. But even so, he still heard a crisp "click" sound. It seemed that the gardener's finger was broken by him.
"Oh... Isn't this bullying honest people..."
With a long sigh, he simply knocked the gardener out of the way.
Chapter completed!
