Chapter 355 The Noisy Duke's Palace
The two secretly entered the Governor's Palace in the Valente family's carriage and had a secret conversation for several hours with Baron Bolvar, the spy leader responsible for the security of Her Royal Highness.
Lynch told the Baron all his guesses.
The attack on Her Royal Highness the day before yesterday was very strange. The action was very large. Not only did the gas pipeline explode and half of the Crown Plaza was destroyed, but two soul-shifting dead soldiers who were not sure whether they were level 3 or 4 were thrown in. How could such a big commotion be caused? There won't be too many forces.
So when the Bishop of Harlan mentioned the big plan that Raymond mentioned, Lynch immediately connected everything. The League of Shadows was likely to attack Her Royal Highness, and Raymond wanted to stop this plan. , God knows what he will do.
Baron Bovar's expression changed after hearing this. He no longer doubted Lynch's acumen. After the three discussed for a long time, His Excellency the Baron secretly met with the Duke and Viscount Molière. After a long time, several The figure quietly left the Duke's Mansion and moved away in all directions of the city.
But the dance will still go on, as long as it’s not the end of the world.
When Lynch walked out of the back door, it was already past noon, and he and Miss Valente were separated.
After all, she was an unmarried lady. He dared to enter the venue with Miss Valente. It is estimated that the front pages of newspapers across Rand will have news tomorrow. The assassins sent by the Valente family should be downstairs the day after tomorrow. Got off.
Therefore, Mr. Detective had to spend an hour alone to go around from the back door to the front door of the Governor's Palace, swearing from exhaustion along the way.
But when he walked back to the main entrance, he still felt that his trip was worthwhile.
He saw the real wealthy style of the Victorian era.
Just north of the Rhine City, half an hour's drive from the city center in the Tiger Claw area, two endless metal fences line up to the left and right, enclosing a mysterious area. This is the Governor's Palace.
The first thing he saw in the yard that couldn’t be seen was a huge racecourse, and outside it was an open grassland. In the industrialized city, Lynch’s eyes were suddenly filled with green. Several striped deer poked their heads out from the fence, looking at the passing carriages curiously and making yoyo sounds.
The palace gate is wide and can accommodate at least four carriages traveling in parallel. Many carriages have been parked in the small square outside the gate. Gentlemen and ladies in formal dresses or formal attire meet in front of the gate, polite and smiling. , making the atmosphere in front of the door more lively than Crown Plaza.
In this case, even if you are still outside the door, the war is around you.
The carriages were parked in a row, and the difference was immediately apparent.
A purple paulownia wood carriage costing two hundred pounds? That kind of mass-produced standard carriage is simply not available here. The driver has to stand with the brim of his hat pressed. At least it has to be made of stone heart wood, and it has to be made by hand by famous experts. Otherwise, the owner can only sneak in and you take the purple paulownia wood. Carriage coming? No wonder you are stuck in traffic.
Those who come by taxi will not attract much attention. They are not on the same track at all. Forcible comparison will only show a lack of cultivation. Most nobles will not make this mistake, but those who started from the common people are called It is only for the nouveau riche who are rich with gold coins that they occasionally do such scandalous things that have made people laugh at them for generations. After all, a taxi is also a car, and there is someone strolling next to it.
Huh? Why are you all looking at me? Have you never seen anyone who can walk?
Lin Qi looked around calmly, lifted his hat and waved to a few familiar faces.
"Why have you changed the rules, Jack?" A slightly higher voice came from the guests gathered at the door, "The carriage and the coachman are not allowed in, and the servants have to wait in the car. This is too inconvenient."
'Who is so wicked as to come up with such an idea? '
Lin Qi touched his nose and smiled delicately: I've never seen centralized security checks, I've never seen admission by head, I haven't seen a metal detector yet, my hometown has accumulated thousands of years of struggle. Experience bores you to death.
"There is nothing you can do, Your Excellency Baron, please cooperate." The middle-aged butler who greeted guests at the door with a smile that was more elegant than the surrounding nobles, advised in a standard Norin accent, "This rule comes from the royal capital. It came from the other side. It is said that it has just become popular over there, and even His Majesty the King praised it. You..."
"Cooperate, of course. Your Majesty the King is wise, and His Excellency the Duke is wise. This new rule is suitable for the current situation. "
As the surrounding people echoed loudly, the atmosphere in the crowd gradually became more and more harmonious. Occasionally, one could hear words such as "Whose brain was eaten by the evil god who made this suggestion". The whole family should be thrown into a dreamland for a thousand years." This made Lin Qi secretly happy and his smile became even brighter.
Seeing you unhappy makes me feel much better.
"Why did that car get in, Jack."
"Your Excellency, that is Countess Hathaway. The other two cars that went in before were Count Lorende and the Kingdom of Salt Her Royal Highness Princess Chloe and the eldest daughter of the Valente family will also go in directly. They all enter through special channels. ""Oh, that's good, that's good. I'm worried about affecting the Duke. What’s your arrangement, hahaha.”
With laughter, Lynch successfully completed the entrance. He had asked Baron Bolvar before if he would like him to help keep an eye on suspicious people who brought strange objects at the door, but Baron Your Majesty just smiled and said nothing.
So Lynch was very relieved and swaggered into the Duke's Mansion swinging his cane.
In the distance is the Duke's Palace, which is modeled after an ancient castle. It towers into the clouds, and a majestic sense of oppression hits our face. A small lake lies in front of the mansion, and a group of leisurely waterbirds float on the water, walking along the stone road that goes around the lake. , you can see about ten guests gathered in twos and threes in the empty field in front of the mansion, and a small band has begun to play. Lin Qi closed his eyes and listened for a while, then nodded silently.
Hmm, sounds good.
"Mr. Lynch Leviev."
Just when Lynch was standing outside the crowd in a daze, not knowing what to do there, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw the two figures of Count Lorende side by side.
"I was rude that night, Mr. Detective." Despite his aggression when they first met Princess Chloe at the cocktail party, the Earl smiled kindly on his chubby face, "I'm really sorry, we were too nervous. It almost caused bad consequences.”
It would be false to say that he didn’t take it to heart, but after going through so many things and facing countless dangers, and looking back at the experience at that time, Lynch suddenly felt a sense of urgency. The feeling of lightness and lightness.
"It's all over, there's no need to mention it again." Lynch smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Where is Your Highness Chloe? I have something to give to her."
"Your Highness took his friends to the backyard. Let’s watch the animal taming show.”
“Huh? There’s also an animal taming show?”
"Yes, the dance only starts in the evening, and His Excellency the Duke has prepared a lot of time-killing activities for everyone." The Fat Earl explained patiently, "If you are interested, you can go horse riding. Your Excellency the Duke has some very good purebred horses. , or go fishing by the lake, even if the fish are full, I have never caught one.”
“There is a concert in the front yard, and there is an animal training show in the back, and there are many free-range animals. . If you want to get active, there is a fencing field and a shooting range in the back.”
“You can admire the Duke’s collection inside the mansion. Hahaha, it’s not the same as last time. You can taste wine and read books. Card games, in fact, all activities have only one purpose in the end, socializing, if it is just for entertainment, just stay at home.”
No, I have absolutely no chance to run horses and fish at home. I can only eat horses and fish. And if you want to cause a murder, what about the shooting range?
Badly bidding farewell to Earl Lorende, Lynch decided to let the poor horse and fish go for the time being, and went directly around the back of the castle.
Sure enough, a stage was set up in the backyard, and an animal taming performance was going on, using all the animals raised by the Duke's Palace. Looking at the tigers and bears on the stage, Lynch fell into deep confusion.
You rich people have nothing to do. Raise these things. No wonder there are so few rich people.
However, among the dozen or so people beside the stage, Lynch immediately saw the petite figure of Princess Chloe, who was applauding reservedly. When she saw Lynch walking towards her, she lifted up her skirt politely. Give a deep bow.
But when Lynch's eyes turned to her side, his eyes almost went straight.
Damn it, why did you bring this guy here?
Beside Princess Chloe stood a figure that was more petite than her.
Young Deep Diver, Alice.
