In the manor, Koboqin stayed alone in the room, with a trace of panic in his furrowed brows: "Why did she know about the incident twenty-seven years ago? That incident was so secret, there was no way she would know about it.
. But... in the conversation this morning, she mentioned the secret from twenty-seven years ago. Is that what she said... was she talking about? "
The more Kobochin thought about it, the more he felt that what Alice was hinting at was something he had hidden deep in his heart. He took a breath of cold air: "I have been feeling uneasy lately, and there is a vague premonition in my heart. I always feel that back then...
The old incident has not ended yet, and now this ominous premonition has finally come. Unexpectedly, it was mentioned from a girl's mouth... Sigh! Is there someone else behind her back? How much does she know about what happened back then?
"
The worries in his heart became stronger little by little, and before he knew it, Koboqin was covered with sweat. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the butler Ivowai shouted: "Master, the carriages, horses and accompanying personnel have already arrived."
The arrangements have been made, Mr. Binks from the Public Security Bureau is waiting at the door, and you can go to Huangshapo at any time."
"I know, I'll go right away." Koboqin wiped the sweat from his head and said to himself: "No, I have to prepare in advance, just in case things are really what I think."
After leaving the room, he came to the front of the garden. The accompanying guards, a dozen bodyguards and several detectives were waiting here. The butler Ivo said: "Master Binks is at the gate of the manor. Master, please come up."
Take the car."
"Um."
Koboqin was about to get in the car when Reike saw him off and said, "Are you really going? When Mayor Khalid was killed, it was enough for us to go to his house to comfort his family. There was no need to risk his life and go to Huang."
Are you going to a desolate place like Shapo? What if you run into an assassin?"
Binx came in at this time, happened to hear what Lake said, and said: "Yes, Madam is right. Sir, let's not talk about who killed Mayor Khalid. I don't know who killed him. In case you are exposed,
What an accident? The whole Xisha City is about to collapse. Sir, you have come all the way to invite so many bodyguards and guards, and you have also invited so many experts in investigating cases. Leave it to me to investigate Huangsha Road.
That's enough with these people. It's safer for you to stay in the manor. When I catch the murderer, I will definitely hand him over to you for disposal."
Kobochin said: "Khalid and I are not only relatives, we have a little blood relationship, he is also my best friend in life. The scale and achievements of Xisha City today are all created by me and him. Now
How could I ignore such a big thing happening to him? And I can feel that this matter is aimed at me. The murderer must be the serial murderer. He knows the relationship between Mayor Khalid and me, so he is targeting him.
Take action."
"If that's the case, then Sir, you can't go even more. What if this is a trap set by the murderer?"
"This..." Kobochin hesitated.
At this time, a servant in the manor ran over shouting: "Master, something happened to the master."
Ivo looked displeased and stopped the running servant and shouted: "Can you speak? What do you mean something happened to the master? The master is clearly here fine."
"Yes." The servant quickly changed his words and said, "Something happened to the small building in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Kobochin hurriedly asked: "What happened in the study?"
The servant said: "This morning, the servants found that the two three-headed dogs guarding the small courtyard were listless. They thought they were sick, so they went to the outside of the manor and invited a veterinarian to see them. Unexpectedly, the veterinarian just checked and found that the two dogs were
Several extremely fine silver needles were found on the three-headed dog, and the veterinarian said there were signs of strong anesthetics on the needles."
Koboqin's brows suddenly jumped: "Are you saying that someone has sneaked into the small building in the backyard?"
Leike's eyes wandered and glanced at Cobochin's expression.
"This...I..." Of course a servant did not dare to make such a judgment, so he could only say: "Master, butler, you'd better go and see for yourself. The veterinarian is just outside the yard."
When we came outside the backyard, the two three-headed dogs had been cured and regained their spirit and vitality. The veterinarian took five small silver needles in the handkerchief and said: "Sir, these five small needles were taken out of them by me."
Yes, I checked, and there are ingredients suspected of being atropine and hyoscyamine remaining on the needle. Datura flowers should have been used, but the medicinal properties are much stronger than datura. It may be mixed with other narcotic drugs. As for the
I have to take the needle back and check it carefully to find out which anesthetics were used. However, there are not many drugs left on the needle, so I can't guarantee that I can check it clearly." Lurkav Manor is his regular customer and he often comes to the manor.
He took care of the pet monster raised by Cobochin. He also knew that a lot of things had happened in the manor recently, so he told Cobochin everything he needed to say.
Koboqin nodded: "Excuse me, you can go ahead."
After the veterinarian left with the medicine box, several investigators and Binks became confused.
"It's really weird. He was killing people before, but now he's just being a dog-fighter?" Jennifer felt strange.
Binks said: "Could it be that the murderer sneaked into the manor to prepare for the assassination, but was discovered by the three-headed dog guarding the backyard, so he used an anesthetic needle to put the three-headed dog down?"
"But until last night, no one has been killed in the manor," Ivo said.
Epsilin asked: "Where is this backyard?"
Butler Ivo replied: "The small building in the backyard is the master's study room where he handles business."
"Oh? Why build the office here?"
Ivo replied: "That's right. There is a study room in the main house, but there are too many people and wives in the building, so the owner can't feel at ease when handling affairs. You also know that the reason why Xisha City can become Xisha City is
It has something to do with my master. Many things in this city, large and small, need to be handled by my master. In order to handle things here with peace of mind, the master ordered people to build this two-story building in the backyard."
"So that's it. Does anyone usually come in and out of here?"
Ivo shook his head: "No, the master does not allow servants to enter or exit this small building, because there are often many important official documents placed in it, and the master will come and look at it in person even when it is being cleaned."
Kobochin took a few people into the small building and checked it. He found that nothing was missing, but there were signs that it had been turned over.
After coming out, Lucas said: "It seems that someone put down these two three-headed dogs just to sneak in here to find something, but the thing was not found. As for whether this person is a murderer, we can't draw a conclusion yet."
"
Butler Ivo said: "There have been thieves in the manor before. Although such a large manor is strictly guarded, there are always a few thieves who want to visit. Could it be just an ordinary theft case?"
Nissim shook his head: "This is definitely not an ordinary attempted theft. Generally, thieves steal only for property, but nothing was stolen from the small building, and this small building is just a hundred meters behind the main house.
Yes, the location is in the very center of the manor. Would an ordinary thief risk all the dangers to sneak into the center of the manor to commit crimes? What's more, the manor has been experiencing a series of murders in recent times. The crime office not only dispatched a large number of manpower to guard the manor,
Sir Lurkav also invited so many of us to investigate, how can ordinary thieves dare to take such a big risk?"
"Could it be the little girl last night, the girl who came to see the master this morning?" Ivo said: "At that time, Lord Binks came to tell the master about the murder of Mayor Khalid, and she also followed us.
.I think she is very interested in the affairs of the manor, which is very suspicious."
Speaking of Alice, Kobochin also looked at Nissim.
Nissim firmly denied: "It's impossible."
Ivo was confused: "Why are you so sure, sir?"
Next to him, Kobochin said: "Mr. Nissim, if you have any opinion, just say it directly."
"That's my opinion." Nissim smiled faintly: "Because I think this matter was most likely done by someone inside the manor, or at least related to the people in the manor, so it can't be the person named Ellie.
Silly little girl.”
"Did insiders do it?" This statement surprised many people.
Nissim said: "Let's not talk about how this thief came here avoiding everyone's eyes and ears. There are many mechanisms and magic traps in the manor. How could someone who doesn't know anything about the manor make no move?
Entering this small building? Even if it was done by outsiders, there must be people in the manor as internal agents. Of course, the criminal may also be a master, but if this person is really a top master, then he must
He is not an ordinary thief, because such people generally would not do such a thing for a little money. Think about it, the girl named Alice is also very skilled, but even if she hides her figure, she can
It was easily discovered by the guards in the manor, so I still think it is more likely that someone in the manor committed the crime."
Ivo was surprised: "But there are hundreds of servants and guards in the manor. Who could they be?"
Nissim did not answer this question because he could not answer it yet.
Binks said: "There are more and more things happening now. First there were serial murders, then there was the murder of the mayor, and now there's another theft case. Why has Xisha City suddenly become so unquiet?"
Lucas said: "The situation is complicated, but things have to be dealt with one by one. I think we should start investigating from the murder case of Mayor Khalid."
"This is the most important thing, and this is the only thing." Binx said: "We are rushing to the Yellow Sand Road now. Sir, you should stay in the manor. I can't afford the risk if you go out.
Once anything is found on Huangsha Road, I will send someone back immediately to explain it to you."
Kobochin could only sigh: "Well, now I don't know which place is truly safe."
