Chapter 582 Beware of Conspiracy
After dinner, Aleppe reported in the study: "Sir, we searched for the former neighbors and related personnel of the Rey family, and got a strange piece of news."
"Before the fire in the Rey family, there was a cook in the house. She happened to go back to the countryside to attend her son's wedding on the day of the fire and escaped."
"She still remembered that the day before the fire, Bili Lei Miss Rey started to lose her first tooth, and Mrs. Rey asked the kitchen to make soft dishes."
"After Miss Rey was rescued, she rested in Mrs. Rey's natal home, the cook. After receiving the news five days later, I rushed back from the countryside and met Miss Rey.”
"At that time, Miss Rey's face was burned and she had her face covered with medicine. When the cook talked to her, she found that her teeth were intact."
"At that time, Mrs. Rey's natal family had their own maid. The cook went to work for someone else."
Frederick frowned and asked, "Did Miss Rey go directly to her uncle's house?"
Aleppe replied: "At that time, a neighbor sent Miss Rey to a nearby church in a carriage. The bishop gave preliminary treatment. Later, Miss Rey's uncle said that they could contact the Holy City to get medicine that would not leave scars. He took her back."
Frederick frowned, tapped his fingers on the desk, and said slowly: "In other words, Miss Rey may have been replaced, otherwise the teeth cannot be explained. Why do you grow so fast?”
Aleppe replied: "It is possible."
Frederick added: "There is another key question."
"You often kill people, you should know that killing people It’s easy, but it’s hard to deal with corpses.”
Aleppe nodded. It’s easy to deal with corpses in the wild, but it’s difficult in the city.
If you want to move the body out of the city, you need to go through some people. These people may not be reliable, and they may spill the beans one day after drinking too much.
Aleppe said: "It is very likely that the body is in the garden. I have helped dig holes in the past."
It is common to break ground in the garden, and it is difficult to find a body that is conveniently sold.
Frederick closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I will write a letter and you can take it to someone personally."
Alleppe saw Frederick start Writing a letter, he asked curiously: "Who are you asking for help?"
While writing, Frederick said: "In the real sword competition, there was a man wearing a very old full-body plate armor and a barrel helmet. Player, give him the letter.”
"How are the other members of the Bili family investigating?"
Alepbe was a little curious about the true identity of the man in plate armor, but Frederick changed the subject and knew that he shouldn't ask more questions, so Answer: "We have investigated it."
"She has a housekeeper, two maids, a cook, a gardener and a coachman in her home."
"The cook, The gardener and the coachman are both from the countryside, so there is no problem at present."
"The two maids were originally the daughters of a merchant, who sold them to an old man after he went bankrupt. Widow, then took the money and disappeared”
"The widow's husband was a well-known tailor. Many years ago, gangsters killed him and his son when they robbed the tailor shop."
"The widow had some savings and could make money by mending silk clothes. , so he bought two girls as adopted daughters to support him in his old age. "
"The widow taught the two girls the craft of tailoring. After she died of illness a few years ago, the girls first did sewing work, and later worked for others. Let me introduce you to work as a maid at Rey's house."
"The housekeeper only appeared two years ago. Although she tried her best to hide her accent, she could still tell that she was from Citrus Island."
Aleppe knew about Frederick’s relationship with Citrus Island and didn’t say much.
Frederick raised his eyebrows. Was it his wife's person, or someone who escaped when his wife swept through the gangs on the island?
After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll send a telegram to ask."
This is simple, just ask the master's wife if the person is from the Black Claw gang, or even send it clearly Report. Frederick wrote the contents of the letter and telegram and asked Alleppe to send them away.
At the same time, a bar in the city was bustling with activity.
This morning Shitong defeated Baron Pioli, who had the highest claim to win the championship, which greatly increased his reputation.
In the bar where Shi Shi frequented, Bo Li prepared a large piece of fine venison for him. The landlady helped stew it with potatoes and red tomatoes. The boss also gave Shi Shi a bucket of precious venison. garlic beer.
Small half of the regular customers of this tavern are people from the Boli family's butcher shop, the rest are fish shop owners, restaurant owners and other people in the catering industry, and a few are surrounding residents or occasional guests.
A fish seller said with a smile: "Shitou, when you win the championship, can you help the model draw a picture, holding a fish in your hand, and I will give you ten ores!"
The owner of the sausage shop next to him immediately said: "Draw me a picture. Holding a few strings of sausages is much better than holding salted fish."
Someone immediately said: "Oh, what do you want Pauli to do? Tell him to say to Shitou, 'Sir, can you hold a pig as a model?'"
The tavern suddenly burst into laughter. .
The fish seller shook his head and said: "No, no, no, the stone can't hug Boli's pig, it can only hug Boli's sister."
The laughter in the tavern was even louder. He was cheerful, but Pori's face was a little dark.
Shitou just smiled and ate. He finished the venison and potatoes first, then poured the barley rice in, stirred it evenly, and ate slowly, taking a sip of garlic beer from time to time.
He didn't like the taste of garlic beer at first, but when he heard that it was liked by dignitaries, he thought about his future life and had no choice but to take the initiative to adapt.
A stranger sat in the corner of the tavern, watching everything happening around him with interest.
The people in the tavern began to help Shi Shi imagine his and Adele's future happy life. Poli was too lazy to play with them, so he went over to chat with the stranger.
"Hello, my name is Bo Li, a butcher." Bo Li introduced himself, "What do you call me? I've seen you here a lot lately."
The customer replied: "My name is Ludovico, I am a writer from the city of Phila."
"Oh!" Poli suddenly became nervous, "It turns out to be Mr. Ludovico, please forgive me for being rude."
Those who can be writers these days are all well-educated people, not rich. Even though he is expensive, the butcher shop owner has a reputation among the people, but when he is in power, he is the meat on the chopping block.
Ludovico picked up the wine glass, clinked it on Pori's glass, took a sip of sage beer, and said: "Don't be nervous, just treat me as a passing businessman."
Polly nodded immediately, took a sip of orange wine, and touched him carefully.
Ludovico smiled and clinked glasses with him, took a sip, and then asked: "Which gentleman won the game today?"
Poli said happily: "Yes, Shitou defeated the player who everyone thought would win the championship today."
Then he told the story of Shitou in detail. He had great ambitions when he was young, and found himself after working. After having to pay an extra part of the income he deserved to the people above him, he lost his passion and just muddle along all day long. Not long ago, after meeting love, he regained his fighting spirit and participated in the real sword competition. In the first game, he cleanly defeated the opponent with the highest voice.
There is also the grudge and bet between Shitou and the arena head coach, Pori also talked about it.
Ludovico slapped the table and said: "So this is what everyone said about the handstand... uh, I can't say it here... during the day!"
He After finishing speaking, he suddenly frowned and said to Poli seriously: "Please remind that gentleman that his enemies will never give up. Be careful of all kinds of conspiracies."
