Some obese middle-aged men fell in a pool of blood.
When Yang Luo saw the corpse, several information points flashed through his mind.
The deceased was a baron of the Saka family and one of the more dazzling social stars tonight.
Earlier, Viscount Godoy Saka took Yang Luo forward to greet this person, and the other person responded to this new face with a perfunctory smile.
this is nothing.
The nobles present, whether with the surname Saka or other surnames, looked down upon the somewhat mediocre Godoy. However, under Godoy's arrangement, Yang Luo wore Godoy's most expensive dress and did not look like a
Looks like he's rich and powerful.
Yang Luo didn't pay attention to these details.
When he followed the crowd to the second floor to watch the excitement, he took a closer look at the deceased named Mornington Sarkar.
At first glance, the deceased had two wounds on his body.
One wound was on the chest, where a sharp object was pierced through the chest. Visually, it was five to six centimeters wide and penetrated deeply, which was the source of the blood stains on the ground.
One wound was above the eyelid of the right eye. It was a light bullet penetrating wound that Yang Luo was very familiar with. The inside of the wound was neat and accompanied by burns.
Yang Luo is not a criminal investigation expert, he can only guess blindly.
He estimated that the reason why there were two wounds was that the murderer severely injured the deceased first. Considering the barely acceptable medical level of Sakax, the murderer felt that it was very possible to save this kind of injury, so he took out the laser
The pistol opened a hole in the deceased's head.
For humans, brain death means complete death.
Sakaar is located within the Sherman Empire and has not experienced wars or turmoil throughout the year;
Although due to the economic downturn and social order being slightly chaotic, crimes often occur here, but most of these noble gentlemen do not have the opportunity to face murder scenes on weekdays.
Many young people took a few glances at the murder scene and then went to the corner to vomit.
Two ladies with weak psychological endurance fell delicately into the arms of the young man next to them.
But most people didn't panic.
Thirty-two nobles with the Saka surname, 11 nobles with non-Saka surnames, more than 20 ordinary guests, and 13 waiters present all maintained their basic composure.
Three elderly Saka family members stood up.
They began to stabilize order and asked the young people to immediately notify the noble court and the local police.
An old man said with dignity: "No one can leave here until the police arrive!"
Another old man shouted:
"Whoever did it should stand up and admit it! No matter there is any personal grudge or for any reason, this incident will bring shame to our Saka name! I hope you can take some responsibility. Don't you dare to kill someone?
Do you admit it?"
An aristocratic lady sighed: "Maybe it's because Mornington is usually too flamboyant. He has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and he often says that being a noble is of no use. You have to rely on your own ability to live and feed well. Today,
It would have been a happy thing for him to come back to attend the party, but..."
"Okay, protect the scene! Everyone go to the first floor! Leave a few security guards here to guard it!"
An old man shouted loudly.
Everyone rushed back to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Viscount Godoy Saka had never seen such a scene before, and his feet were a little weak. Yang Luo took the initiative to reach out and hold his arm, and walked with the crowd as usual.
"Aren't you afraid? My dear nephew, this is a brutal murder," Godoy asked in a low voice.
Yang Luo said slowly: "This has nothing to do with us. Is uncle familiar with this baron?"
"He is about the same age as me. We were two grades apart when we went to school. He once helped me stand up against the rude nobles in other classes. I guess he is a good person. We haven't contacted each other since."
It is obvious that Viscount Godoy Sacca was somewhat lacking in confidence when he said, "He is a good man."
Yang Luo didn't ask any more questions.
He was not interested in the life or death of an Imperial Baron.
There are a lot of barons like the deceased in the empire. As long as they pay high enough taxes and are willing to make donations, they can also get the same level of non-welfare titles through some channels.
However, Yang cannot stay away from the matter. The noble court is likely to control everyone and investigate one by one.
The secret between him and the viscount beside him cannot be exposed easily.
Soon, Viscount Godoy Sacca was called to a small meeting.
Attending the meeting were the three respected ‘elderly Sakas’, plus four mature and steady ‘middle-aged Sakas’;
The fact that the down-and-out Godoy could be called over also proves his nominal status as a viscount in the Saka family.
About ten minutes later, Godoy returned to Yang Luo.
The middle-aged man had a sad look on his face, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he said slowly:
"They asked you who you were, and I told the truth."
Subtext: Because of an emergency, they are concerned about the identity of the new face here. I admit that you are my illegitimate child, but ask them to keep it secret.
Godoy patted Yang Luo on the shoulder and continued: "Don't worry, you have been by my side the whole time today, and you have always been in everyone's sight. No one will make things difficult for you, but you should be asked to do an investigation later.
.”
Yang Luo frowned and asked, "Does the police not care about this?"
"The police have sealed off the hotel and will send commissioners to assist us later," Godoy said. "They heard that a noble baron died and it was a homicide, so they passed the matter within their rights and responsibilities to the noble court.
The nearest ship from the Court of Lords will arrive in just over an hour."
Yang Luo clicked his tongue: "These policemen are really good at kicking a ball."
"It's understandable, but I suspect it's because we don't want the police to come in, so we put pressure on the police, rather than the police voluntarily giving up the investigation."
Godoy sighed:
The people in front of you are almost the ones who have the real say on this planet. Except for me, who didn't get along very well, most of them have huge connections and wealth.
"Other guys who can't get along well won't come here to humiliate themselves."
Yang Luo nodded and smiled: "This kind of living situation is not something you can decide, uncle. You are under the pressure from your parents."
"You actually comfort people. We can't make a choice, but we can work hard to change."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Yang Luo picked up a glass of something similar to watermelon juice and took a sip. Viscount Godoy Sacca stared at the glass, then turned his head and covered his mouth to retching.
Yang:
Tsk, so weak.
At this moment, a well-dressed young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes rushed to Yang Luo's side.
"Hello, Hui, can you come with me? Three respected elders want to ask you."
Viscount Godoy Saka cast an encouraging look at Yang Luo: "Go ahead, there won't be any problems."
Yang Luo's acting skills were pretty good. He pursed his lips slightly, frowned slightly, hummed a few times, raised his hand to push up his glasses with his middle finger, and then nodded in agreement.
"plz follow me."
The young man lowered his head and left in a hurry. Yang Luo followed him and was taken to the small room on the first floor where Godoy had just held a meeting.
In the room, three elders of the Saka family were sitting on the sofa in the middle.
There were several middle-aged men in the corner, whispering about the inheritance rights of the deceased's property.
The title of the deceased is not hereditary.
Yang Luo put his hands behind his back and stood calmly in front of the three old people, continuing to perform "uneasy" and "nervous"
"Hello, young man," the old man in the middle sighed, "I'm sorry that this was the first time you attended our family's gathering and you encountered such a vicious incident. The perpetrator will definitely be punished."
Yang Luo nodded lightly.
"May I have your name."
"Hui," Yang Luo responded.
"Okay Xiaohui," the old man on the left said slowly, "let me ask you a few questions first. What is your relationship with Godoy?"
"I am his distant relative. To be precise, Mrs. Delly is my aunt."
The three old men each chuckled, and the middle-aged men in the corner also looked over.
The old man on the right asked: "You have been with Godoy tonight, haven't you?"
"Yes, almost everyone can prove it," Yang Luo nodded.
"What do you think of this murder?"
Yang Luodao: "I'm not sure, and I don't know much about the situation, but this matter should have some negative impacts, especially if the murderer is found, if the other person is a member of the Saka family, or even a noble,
That will probably arouse public attention."
The three old people suddenly became melancholy.
The old people lamented:
"I'm surprised that you can consider this. Yes, for nobles, reputation is the most important wealth. Our family has declined and cannot afford the damage to our reputation."
"It would be best if the murderer is someone outside the family, but that is not something we can decide."
"Well, Mornington is usually arrogant and domineering, and he has indeed offended many people, but he does not have such a deep hatred."
"He looked down on this family, so he was killed by fanatics within the family?"
"Do you think there are any fanatics among our children and grandchildren?"
"that."
Yang Luo couldn't help but interrupt the three old men who were about to start a conversation:
"I think the matter may not be that complicated, or it may be a murder driven by impulsive passion. For example, the murderer had a dispute with the deceased. The murderer was excited and stabbed the baron in the chest with the murder weapon, but was afraid of his subsequent revenge.
So I simply took out my pistol and penetrated the Baron’s brain.”
"The top priority is actually to restrict the movement of everyone in the hotel and not give the murderer a chance to deal with the traces."
"Also check the monitoring, there may be unexpected effects."
The old man in the middle's eyes lit up: "Do you know how to find the murderer? Xiaohui?"
How could I understand this?" Yang Luo smiled implicitly, "I just like to read some detective dramas and novels."
The old man said: "What you just said makes sense. It's amazing. When I chatted with you, most of the uneasiness and tension in my heart disappeared. It seems that you can give me great comfort."
"Come and sit here. Godoy, who is sitting right behind us, may have mediocre qualifications and no ambition, but he is actually the true direct descendant of this family. It just so happens that you are here to intervene on this matter on his behalf."
"Just now we asked him to stay, but he said he couldn't do this and insisted on going back to accompany you. He also said that you were too young to have experienced such a scene."
"You are much calmer than him."
"Then let's let you stay here and let him cry outside! Hahaha! Oh, yes, Morrington's nephew just died. I can't laugh like that and make people think that I have any grudge against him. Then
That’s not appropriate.”
Yang Luo muttered: "Maybe I should comfort Uncle Godoy, he is frightened."
The old man said: "Oh, no need, you will represent him now, bring a chair over here! You guys!"
A middle-aged uncle was about to move the chair immediately, but Yang Luo got there first. He kept saying that he could just do it himself, and smiled awkwardly at the person in the corner.
These middle-aged uncles gave him kind smiles.
Yang Luo murmured in his heart.
Doesn’t Godoy have so many resources? Why is he still in such misery?
wrong.
Yang Luo quickly understood something.
This is not care, but temptation.
Godoy is a direct descendant of this family. What the nobles value is the so-called direct inheritance system. If Godoy rises again, it will harm the interests of these nobles.
Since the other party already knew that he was Godoy's 'illegitimate son', he was asked to stay here, most likely just for observation.
If he is as mediocre as Godoy, these nobles with the same surname can really feel at ease.
Yang just smiled calmly at this.
It's just this kind of intrigue among minor nobles.
However, in the next half hour, Yang Luo finally witnessed what it means to be an idiot.
These guys in front of me are simply a group of idiots who master aristocratic etiquette and only know how to scheming!
The process of asking questions one by one is simple and sloppy.
Some nobles who were suspected of having murderous motives were called to the three old men and asked similar questions.
Yang Luo originally thought that these three old men were serious about solving the case, but after some questioning, he suddenly found that they were asking the same questions over and over again.
What do you think of Mornington?
Did you have any conflict with Mornington?
Have you been to the second floor tonight?
Other than that, there is no other trick.
Not only that, there are more and more people sitting behind the sofa. Almost every young man who is questioned will be called by three old men to sit down and listen to the next guest's story.
Half an hour was just wasted.
The ship of the Noble Court would arrive at Sakaar in half an hour, but the commissioner sent by the police hesitated to enter, obviously not wanting to cause any trouble.
Yang Luo was indeed a little bored listening.
Have these aristocratic gentlemen been at ease for too long, causing the folds of their cerebral cortex to become shallower?
Since you want to find the murderer before the aristocratic court arrives, let's go do the actual investigation. A group of people don't look for evidence, don't scrutinize the motive, don't judge the murder method, and don't even judge the time of death.
The concave shape tries to express its own wit and wisdom.
Watch the surveillance!
Watch the surveillance!
Even if fucking Conan comes today, he still has to check the surveillance cameras first! Are the surveillance videos placed throughout this hotel just decorations?
However, Yang Luo always restrained himself. He mingled with the crowd behind the sofa and waited quietly for the progress of the matter. During this period, Godoy came over to see him twice uneasily, and in the end simply stayed in the corner.
By the time they finished asking the last guest, the conference room was already packed with people.
"Hmm," the old man in the middle said, "What do you think of this matter?"
A middle-aged uncle crossed his arms: "I think this incident will definitely have a negative impact on our family, and we must prepare in advance."
Yang Luo: How specific?
An old lady with lace hair said slowly: "Now we cannot add more uncertainty. We must optimize our action plan on the basis of dealing with the highest priority matters."
Yang: What are the specific contents of the action plan?
The young man who called Yang Luo just now sighed: "Yes, we must unite and show the cohesion of our Saka family on this matter. Now we need to work together to find who the murderer is. If
He is a member of the Saka family, and we have family rules in addition to the law. If he is not a member of the Saka family, we will not let it go."
"I suggest that this matter may become a relatively long tug-of-war. We should first establish a homicide response committee."
"I propose that a highly respected member of the family be the head of this committee."
"Yes, we also have to donate money to provide funding. This is for the reputation of all of us, and it is related to our vital interests."
"The establishment of this committee must focus on the efficiency of handling problems. We must work hard, make real contributions to the family, grasp the main contradictions, and be able to reasonably analyze the negative impact of public opinion. This is a huge impact on our personal abilities.
challenge."
"This is a great challenge."
"I propose that we hold an encouragement ceremony first, and how about we all have a drink first? For the establishment of the homicide response committee, for the glory of the Saka family, and for the rejuvenation of our family!"
"good!"
Ding, ding ding ding.
A group of nobles clinked glasses with each other, and the atmosphere in the conference room became heated again.
Yang:
his!
Hang these nobles one by one!
Godoy saw that Yang Luo's expression was a bit ugly, so he came to him with a smile and muttered: "Just get used to it."
"Do you need my help?" Yang Luo asked.
Godoy visibly hesitated.
He spent a week with Yang Luo and knew that this 'illegitimate child' was very capable, but it was best for both of them to keep a low profile regarding his dealings with Yang Luo.
But Godoy soon realized another problem.
The noble court may drag us all in for investigation," Godoy said in the weakest voice, "may do information comparison. Biological information comparison.
Yang Luo nodded, already understanding what to do.
In other words, he must now find a way to hand over the case to the police before the noble court interferes here, and quickly find the murderer to avoid the innocent himself and Godoy being involved, which will cause immeasurable potential.
Hazards. In particular, Yang Luo himself cannot be exposed to too many inspections, let alone verifying biological information.
Several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Yang Luo knocked on his glasses. After Lu sent the message back, he made a decision in his heart. He immediately crossed his legs, folded his hands on his knees, and took Godot casually.
The soda bottle in Yi's hand was thrown to the ground with great force.
Ding, ding ding!
The bottle made a crisp sound, and a group of people subconsciously looked over.
Yang Luo leaned back, his temperament changed slightly, and his eyes became a little sharper.
"Everyone, carefully crafted lies cannot cover up my own inflated desires. I already know who the murderer is!"
