Chapter 143 Blood Moon Invitation (Part 2)(1/2)

Liang Xi asked: "But what about us?"

House said: "We are the green leaves and foils of the princess and prince."

Anthony asked: "Is the European Skull and Bones Association very strong?"

House replied: "It depends on how you understand it. To put it bluntly, Skull and Bones does not have any weapons or thugs. The core organization is a group of intelligence collectors and intelligence analysts. To put it bluntly, look at the owner of Blood Moon Castle. He is not only

He is an earl and very rich, and his friends are dignitaries from all over the world."

Anthony asked: "Why are you telling us these things?"

House took a sip of mineral water, slowly tightened the bottle cap, and said: "I only have five silver coins. In order for me to get an invitation to the next blood moon, I really need the facts of the Lonely Island case. You two might as well make a price."

"

Liang Xidao: "Let me ask a question first. According to Mr. House, do you mean that the European Skull and Bones Society is actually a platform that serves the powerful and the big shots?"

House replied: "To be precise, it is a private detective agency that provides customized services for European dignitaries."

Liang Xi: “Can I buy information?”

House asked: "You want to buy John's information?"

Liang Xi nodded.

"John is a good man." Anthony and House participated in the last blood moon invitation with John.

Liang Xi had a toothache. Every time he heard this sentence, he was a little at a loss. He knew you had nothing good to say before he said this, but he couldn't refute it. He couldn't refute it.

After an awkward silence, Anthony said: "I used to think John was a staff member of the Skull and Bones Society."

Liang Xi was startled. This seemed to explain why John came back to work after many years of retirement. Anthony didn't care about Liang Xi's reaction. It seemed that he had never said that sentence. He said to House: "I can explain my reasoning process

I’ll tell you everything, no money, just treat it as a favor that you owe me.”

Liang Xi was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice the profound meaning of what Anthony said to House.

If the hypothesis that John is a staff member of the Skull and Bones Society is true, it means that John did not receive a direct commission from a big shot, but a commission from the European Skull and Bones Society. This explains why John did not tell Liang Xi the identity of his employer in his suicide note.

The reason. Because John was not sure who the person who hired him to investigate Angela was.

Anthony's words, which seemed to be chatting, opened up Liang Xi's thinking in one fell swoop and solved many contradictions in John's suicide note. It explained why John had a secret room and why the gangsters focused on destroying and burning the secret room. The murderer

Is he from the European Skull and Bones Society? Or is he a big shot?

Anthony looked at House and glanced at him. House glanced at Liang Xi who was immersed in his own world. Without saying anything, he picked up the beer and touched it with Anthony.

Prince Thresh was sunbathing in sunglasses twenty meters away. He seemed to be asleep, but in fact he had his eyes open and watched every move of House and Anthony. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Thresh could.

It's established that House and Anthony have an unspeakable relationship.



The Bloody Night Banquet was held. The owner of the castle, the British Earl Hanson, who was in his sixties this year, personally attended the banquet. The first half of the banquet was spent eating and chatting normally. After finishing the dessert, the butler provided pen, paper and a tablet for everyone.

Individuals need to present the truth of their desert island case in specific words. As an old rule, you can only write keywords. This is a way to avoid plagiarism.

After the maids brought fruits and refreshments, they left the restaurant with other staff. Only the earl and six Blood Moon guests were left in the restaurant.

The count gently shook the brandy glass in his hand and quietly looked at the busy six guests. He knew the identities of several of them.

House, an American agent, earns gold coins from Blood Moon invitations, and then uses the gold coins to buy the information that Americans want to know from the European Skull and Bones Society. Unfortunately, the level is slightly lower, relying on advance preparation, sneaking around, eavesdropping, tracking and mining invitation information, and staying shamelessly.

Three issues.

Anthony, a fifth-term old man, is a Russian foreign hired detective. He is House's guide. Because Russia has obtained a lot of personal and business intelligence of European dignitaries through Anthony, House joined the Blood Moon invitation on the recommendation of the ambassador.

Both Russia and the United States hope to expand their interests in Europe. National interests are in the hands of the powerful, and the information of the powerful is crucial to them. A president who has a solid business and a smooth flow of money. The president is only an upstart, and the business is the powerful. To put it bluntly,

Ordinary citizens are not qualified even if they want to betray the country.

The prince and princess are observation candidates recommended by key members of the European Skull and Bones Society. However, they do not know that they are observation candidates. Only in this case can the Skull and Bones Society make a more objective evaluation of the two people. For now

Said that the performance of the two was average.

Liang Xi was the simplest person among them. He came with John's relics and a confused look on his face.



After confirming everyone's key words and sentences, the order of speeches began to be confirmed. The princess was an opponent, she could interrupt at any time and had no right to speak. The old lady was not prepared enough and shook her head and gave up. The prince drew a sketch portrait of the princess and held it up.

White flag surrender.

In order to get the five silver coins reward for speaking first, House raised his hand first. Count Hansen asked with a smile: "House, who did you copy the answer from?"

House responded with a smile: "Many people use toilets, but not many people are interested in the inventor of toilets."

Anthony and Liang Xi looked at House together, and House smiled back.

Hansen said: "You only have five silver coins left?"

House replied: "I like to put myself to death."

Hansen said: "Okay, let's get started."

House began to explain his reasoning for the desert island case.

House believed that the murderer was the third to last professor who died, but there were two murderers.

The first victim, No. 5, was killed 10 hours after No. 2 was killed, and No. 5 was buried shallowly. The body of No. 5 was found by the police, which means that other people did not know that No. 5 was killed. They would think that No. 5 was missing, or was there

Lost on a desert island. This gives the murderer the opportunity to kill next.

No. 5 was killed during the day, and No. 5 had not returned at night. Under the worry of the professor, everyone decided to go out and look for No. 5. Considering that No. 5 might return to the villa, someone must be left in the villa. Who should be left behind? The professor is older.

It is very dangerous to go looking for people at night, so he will stay. The remaining four people, 1, 2, 3, and 4, will leave one person to accompany the professor and wait at home. The professor does not care who the person left behind is, and will kill him

Then he hid it in the closet of the second bedroom. No. 2 was killed.

The third deceased was No. 1 who was killed in 8 hours. It was morning. At this time, others did not know that No. 2 and No. 5 had been killed. When everyone came back from the search, the professor told them that No. 2 went to the woods and seaside in the south to look for No. 5.

.Everyone was very tired. After resting and waiting until dawn, they found that neither No. 2 nor No. 5 came back. Since No. 2 was directional, everyone decided to go to the woods and the sea in the south to look for No. 2. Girl No. 1 stayed in the villa to rest after a tiring night.

3 and 4 went out together to find No. 2, but girl No. 1 stayed in the villa and was killed.

There are three people left, 3, 4, and 6.

Professor No. 6, the murderer, was sitting in the study. When No. 3 and No. 4 were about to return to the villa, he shot himself in the back of the head and dropped the gun on the ground after death. No. 3 and No. 4 rushed to the villa after hearing the gunshots and found No. 1

The girl died in the restaurant, and Professor No. 6 died in the study. The two discussed that No. 5, who had never been seen, was probably the murderer.

So No. 3 and No. 4 took their pistols and went to the beach where the only ship was located, hoping to leave the island. After arriving at the beach where the ship was located, No. 3 and No. 4 became suspicious of each other and had a dispute. Finally, No. 3 shot and killed No. 4.

No. 3 finally returned to the villa and committed suicide in the bedroom.

After House finished speaking, the princess said: "Mr. House, I have a lot of questions to ask."

Hansen said: "Don't worry, come one by one."

The princess picked up her notebook and asked: "First question, the 5th did not come home at night. Everyone went out to look for the 5th. Why did one person always stay with the professor?"

House looked at Anthony, and Anthony said: "Professor, you can say that No. 5 didn't come back, maybe he was injured. Suppose that when everyone went out to look for No. 5, No. 5 came back alone, and he could not deal with No. 5's injury." House only said

I got the case process, but I didn't get any explanation for the contradiction.

Liang Xidao: "I have a different view. I think dealing with No. 2 is not accidental, but inevitable. After the death of male No. 5, there are still two men and two women left. The first choice is to get rid of the men first. Let No. 2 leave a lot of people behind."

It's simple. We made some tricks in the food. Everyone had dinner and waited for No. 5 to come back. When they discussed going out to find someone, No. 2 was listless and sleepy. For safety reasons, the professor asked No. 2 to go to the second bedroom to rest. This is also how to hide No. 2.

It’s because of the wardrobe in the second bedroom.”

Anthony thought for a while and nodded: "You are right."

The princess asked again: "Second question, after Nos. 1, 3, and 4 came back from searching, why didn't Girl No. 1 continue to follow Nos. 3 and 4 to search for No. 2?"

House said: "Liang Xi has already answered, food. The professor has had a night's rest and is the master again. He can tamper with girl No. 1's food."

The princess said: "Mr. Liang said that men should be given priority, so why not do something about food No. 4 for men?"

House asked for help, and Anthony replied: "If No. 4 is exhausted and 1 and 3 are both women, they may give up searching. Secondly, 1 and 3 have a good relationship and it is difficult to provoke them. In order to let 3 and 4 interact with each other next

Suspicious, cannibalistic, and 1 becomes the target."

Liang Xi added: "Although No. 3 is a woman, the strongest among women has a chance to kill No. 4."

The princess nodded: "The third question, No. 3 and 4 returned to the villa, No. 1 has been dead for several hours, and Professor No. 6, the murderer, has just died. Didn't they notice the time difference?"

House replied: "I don't think they have the ability to judge the time of death. It was the first murder they discovered. Even if they had the ability to judge, they would lose it because of panic."

Princess: "The fourth question, why did they take away the pistol?"

House replied: "They suspect that No. 5 hid and killed everyone. Since there are weapons at this time, they must take weapons for self-defense."

Princess: "The fifth question, the key question, since No. 3 and No. 4 both believed that No. 5 committed the murder and they fled to the beach, why did there be internal strife?"

House replied: "They found Number 5 dead."

The princess asked: "The body of No. 5 was exhumed only after the incident. How did they know that No. 5 was dead?"

House asked for help again, and Anthony hesitated this time: "I can't explain why they started fighting, but judging from their defensive injuries, they went through a struggle. This proves that they are not the murderers, because the murderers will take away the pistol.

You can just shoot and kill without having to fight. After all, you are the last person alive."

Liang Xi added: "Because of the bullets, there were six bullets for six people. No. 3 and No. 4 discovered from the number of bullets that No. 5 and No. 2 may have been killed. Then one of the remaining ones must be the murderer. Anthony said earlier
