Sugar held a big paper bag and followed the maid towards the Foer Mansion.
Although the mask covered most of his face, his tightened brows still showed that he was troubled by something.
Mr. Angdu has done an inspection and found that there are no traces of extraordinary abilities around. Judging from the situation at the scene, the doors and windows are tightly closed. Although they are very fragile, they are indeed closed, and there is no abnormal smell left in the room...
Su Ge summarized the known clues in his mind and could only come to one conclusion - the murder that occurred on the fourth floor of No. 21, Lumanluo Street was a secret room murder case.
Later, Su Ge followed Angdu to learn the identity of the deceased, and found that he was just an ordinary dock worker, single. In addition to working on the dock, the only way to entertain himself was to go to the bar to drink with a few friends. In the entire life trajectory,
There is almost nothing interesting to see, let alone questionable clues.
After getting to know each other, Su Ge and the two learned that the deceased frequented the Black Cuttlefish Bar. Considering Old Henry's style of doing things, Su Ge did not think that the deceased would offend anyone in the bar and be sought for revenge at home.
Out of caution, Su Ge went to the Black Cuttlefish Bar to check out the situation, but as he expected, he found nothing.
So, this is just a secret room murder case? It has nothing to do with the serial killer?
Su Ge's heart was full of doubts.
This was because the deceased was killed by a sharp object piercing his heart, but at the scene, Su Ge and Ondu did not find any knife that could have caused such a wound.
Su Ge had read many novels and carefully paid attention to whether there were water stains on the ground. He knew that ice blades could cause the same damage, but after searching, he still found nothing.
There is no doubt about the murder, but the important question is who committed the murder of the deceased and by what means.
For a moment, Su Ge thought that this thing might have been done by the serial killer, but seeing the situation at the scene and considering the serial killer's style of doing things, Su Ge felt conflicted.
If it was the serial killer who did it, the scene should be bloody, but why is the scene so normal this time and the deceased died in a secret room?
What does the secret room represent?
Full of questions, Su Ge followed the maid to the main entrance of Foer Mansion and saw Reese standing at the door wearing a dark blue evening dress.
"Good afternoon, Miss Reese, I wish you a happy birthday." Su Ge bowed and saluted, took out a small box from the paper bag and handed it to Reese.
After taking the small box, Reese did not open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Su Ge up and down, showing a puzzled expression and asked:
"You're not going to...just attend the party in this outfit, are you? Although I admit that it suits you very well, this is a party after all, and everyone will wear formal clothes."
"Of course not." Su Ge clapped the paper bag in his hand, "If you don't mind, can you lend me a dressing room? I just went on a mission and didn't have enough time to change, so I could only bring the clothes for the party.
come over."
"By the way, please thank your cousin for me for lending me this gorgeous costume."
With a smile on his face, Su Ge made full use of his experience in playing the role of a valet.
In fact, he told a little lie. He didn't come here after the mission was over.
Since discovering the secret room murder case, he has been following Ang Du to investigate various clues. It was not until Noli showed up at the church at noon today that he remembered that he would attend Reese's birthday party in the evening.
Noli, who was born in a noble family and was also Reese's cousin, was like a prophet who could predict the unknown. He had long expected that Su Ge would forget to buy clothes for the party, so when he came to the church this time, in addition to reminding Su Ge to attend on time.
In addition, he also brought a suit of decent enough clothes for Su Ge.
When leaving, Noli repeatedly reminded Su Ge that he must take a carriage, otherwise wrinkles would appear on his clothes, and wearing wrinkled clothes to a party would be very rude to the party host.
Performance.
After that, Sugar thought for a long time. Out of politeness to Reese, he didn't want to wear wrinkled clothes to the party, but he also didn't want to hire someone specifically because of the short distance between Foel Mansion and Leinu Church.
carriage.
So in the end, he chose this solution that had the best of both worlds.
Wear your own action clothes, then borrow a dressing room from Reese to change clothes at the party.
In order not to let Noli see him, he even arrived at the Foel Mansion a full hour early, and he had already made a decision to stay in a standing position as much as possible in the next time to avoid wrinkles on his clothes.
.
Reese seemed to have seen through Su Ge's psychology, and did not expose it. She just covered her mouth and smiled, and nodded to Su Ge, "Of course."
"What is this? Is it a birthday gift for me?" Reese held the small box in front of her eyes, but did not open it.
"Yes, it is a bracelet woven with dried clear sky flowers. In the sky teachings, clear sky flowers represent cheerfulness and purity. I hope it can bring you happiness and peace every day in the future." Su
Ge said.
Ruisi smiled, gently opened the small box, and saw a string of bracelets woven from white petals inside, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
This is a gift that Su Gesi decided after much thought. In fact, to be precise, it was a suggestion given by Angdu, because in his previous life experience, he had no similar experience at all, and for a nobleman like Reese, birthdays are
Gifts must have a certain meaning.
So Su Ge finally decided to give the bracelet as a gift. After all, the Clear Sky Flower has a unique symbolic meaning for every believer in the Sky Church.
And, most importantly, there is no need to spend money, after all, there are as many dry clear sky flowers as there are in the Leinu Church.
"I like it very much. Thank you for your gift. The party is still being prepared. I hope you won't be disappointed."
Su Ge nodded and followed the maid who led the way to the dressing room.
????????????
Su Ge looked at himself in the mirror and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Wearing a crisp white shirt, a black vest, and a tuxedo on top, no matter which angle you look at it, you see in the mirror a polite upper-class person.
It was difficult for Su Ge to bring himself into the image in the mirror. After all, not long ago, he was still racking his brains on how to reasonably save carriage money.
Noli came over, clapped his hands at Su Ge in the mirror, and put the silk hat on Su Ge's head, "It's really good, but there is still a cane missing."
"No, that's good." Su Ge declined politely. In fact, he was not used to using a cane because in his opinion, only elderly people with limited mobility would use it.
to crutches.
Crutches, walking sticks, they're all pretty much the same... Su Ge muttered in his heart, turned to express his gratitude to Noli, and said:
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Noli."
Noli coughed a few times and waved his hand, "We are companions, we don't need to be so polite, and you suit this suit very well. To be honest, I almost thought it was tailor-made for you."
Su Ge resisted the urge to scratch his head and smiled politely.
At this moment, Noli suddenly approached Su Ge and asked in a low voice: "I heard from Ruisi that you worked as a valet for him before?"
Su Ge suddenly choked on his own saliva, his face turned red, and he quickly defended: "It's just a commission, just a commission."
"Oh, you misunderstood what I meant," Noli shook his head, indicating that Su Ge didn't mind, "It's just that Reese was born in the noble Freed family, and she was the only daughter. At her birthday party,
There are always a lot of rules and etiquette, and I'm afraid you might not be used to this kind of situation, so I wanted to take you with me, just as our colleagues."
"Then please be sure to take me with you." Su Ge said sincerely.
Noli seemed to appreciate Su Ge's straightforward character. He nodded repeatedly and taught Su Ge a lot of noble etiquette knowledge in advance. He didn't take Su Ge with him to the hall until the party started.
Su Ge originally thought it was just a simple birthday party, just gathering some relatives and friends to eat, drink, blow out candles, eat cake, and at most play simple card games, but he didn't expect the scene in front of him to surprise him.
The entire hall was brightly lit, and the crystal chandeliers hanging on the roof reflected a dazzling light, almost as bright as day.
The male maids and maids waiting on both sides were obviously well-trained. Each of them had a signature smile on their face, and their movements were crisp and neat. They walked through the hall, delivering plates of delicious dishes and glasses of mellow wine.
Deliver it to a place where guests can easily reach it.
All the guests wore extremely formal attire. Most of the ladies wore long skirts decorated with gems as their first choice, and some added a shawl on top of the long skirt.
The men were all the same, choosing traditional tuxedos, but there were some slight differences in details.
Su Ge saw Karen in the crowd. The somewhat dull girl was indeed wearing a long skirt embellished with pearls and was holding a glass of amber champagne and smiling to herself.
She knows how to reward herself and is a little girl who is passionate about life... Su Ge praised Kallen in his heart. When he turned his head, he saw Reese slowly coming down the central stairs.
Reese wore a pure white dress today, with her shoulders bare and her long hair tied up with a simple but exquisite pink diamond hairpin.
Reese cast a friendly look at everyone present with a standard smile. At this moment, everyone felt as if an angel had descended into the world.
At this time, the man standing next to Reese aroused Su Ge's curiosity.
The man looked much older than Reiss, and the beard on his face was obviously carefully trimmed. Although he looked a little older, his bright eyes could still show the man's youthful mentality.
"Next to her is her father, Viscount Freed."
When Su Ge was confused, Noli beside him gave an explanation in time.
Su Ge nodded and was slightly stunned, thinking that Noli was Reese's cousin, but why was he standing with him in the crowd of guests.
Considering the serious atmosphere at the scene, Su Ge did not ask immediately and planned to find a suitable opportunity to talk about it.
After that, Reese's birthday party officially started. The host and guests opened countless bottles of amber champagne, and the whole hall was very lively for a while.
But in such a happy atmosphere, Su Ge suddenly had a bad premonition.
