Chapter 189: Door-to-door
After another night.
Early in the morning on August 7th, the manor of Earl Farhan was quiet and peaceful.
In the back garden of the villa, the Ramon family was drinking morning tea on the lawn.
Miss Nancy and Milinda, wearing underwear suitable for sports and short-brimmed berets, were drawing bows and arrows, shooting at a round target in the distance.
The two young masters, Prince and Qiao An, were fighting fiercely with wooden sticks, and the crackling sounds were endless.
They seem to be more diligent and hardworking since the stick fighting competition.
I don’t know if I was hit or inspired by the big brother who won the championship. In short, I have been sweating profusely in the past two days, which is not as perfunctory as before.
Mrs. Xenia looked away from the children and fell on her husband beside her. Finding that her husband was expressionless, her eyes that were originally happy and smiling soon turned into concern.
“Ramon, what happened?”
the lady asked in a low voice.
"You haven't looked very happy since yesterday."
"It's nothing."
Ramon glanced at his wife, lowered his head and rubbed his temples.
Using the cover of his palm, a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.
Last night, after the old earl informed him of Loben's death, he sent people to investigate overnight, and soon found out about the tragedy that happened in Victory Manor.
Loben Fasol held a private dinner, and as a result, fifteen people died, including himself.
It includes six masters, eight heraldry level fighters, and staff masters.
Although the body of Viscount Robben was not found at the scene, based on the blood stains and remains of clothing left behind, it can be basically determined that he is in danger.
Lamon couldn't figure out why the "July Baptist Church" was also involved. There were also the bodies of four black-collar deacons at the scene.
There is something strange about it all.
The truth seemed to be obscured by fog, making it difficult for him to see clearly.
But he knows that these are absolutely inseparable from his illegitimate son Gilan Iros!
Because according to the surviving guests that night, Gillan, as a "senior prohibition agent", tried to arrest everyone at the dinner, and then the two sides clashed and started killing people.
It’s just these testimonies that have not been adopted by the authorities.
Instead, some of the guests attending the dinner that night were arrested on the spot.
“I didn’t expect that even the ‘Investigation Committee’ would be involved in this matter!”
Ramon thought to himself and felt a chill down his spine.
The "Investigation Committee", the full name of the "Investigation Committee for the Mysterious Project of the Bremen Empire", is the highest operational department personally controlled by the head of the "Squad Palace", Caesar Geed.
This department rarely takes action, but once they take action, it must be an extremely serious mysterious incident. The committee members would violently suppress, arrest, and even kill on the spot.
Why do the mysterious forces or mystics hidden within the empire dare not show their faces openly? Is it because they are afraid of the Purification Department or the Balance Department?
Of course not.
They are afraid of the "Inquiry Committee"!
The power of this department is beyond imagination!
Ramon couldn't hide his uneasiness as he recalled the news he had just received.
The "Investigation Committee" only sent two members and captured all the other guests who tried to escape. Regardless of whether these people are powerful politicians, business figures, or have friendships with other departments, it will not work.
All are being held for interrogation and awaiting trial.
At the same time, the official position on the manor massacre is also very ambiguous.
Ramon spent all his efforts and connections to get a theory from the inside:
Guillan Iros did have the status of a "senior prohibition agent", but the tragedy had nothing to do with it. . The corpse left at the scene originated from the personal enmity between the July Baptist Church and Viscount Robben...
Bullshit!
It’s all fucking bullshit!
Ramon would be extremely stupid if he believed such a statement.
As a "Scar Bearer" in the "Heavenly Evil Cult", how could he not be aware of Luo Ben's situation?
The religious group and the Baptist Church are not in conflict with each other, and Loben has nothing to do with them. How can there be any personal enmity. Besides, Gillan attended the dinner but walked away unscathed.
No one familiar with the matter would believe it.
The more Ramon thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The fog on the illegitimate child became thicker and thicker, making him unable to see clearly and feel unsure.
His status as a "senior prohibition agent" and the cover-up of the massacre at the manor made Ramon give up the idea of recalling him to the manor.
Ke was thinking deeply.
Ramon suddenly found that the surroundings were quieter, and heard the voice of the old butler Charles:
"Master, Master Gillan is here."
"?!"
< br>Lord Ramon looked up sharply.
He then saw a blond young man wearing a black top hat and a black coat, holding a bronze cane and standing not far from the lawn.
Looking at himself with an indifferent expression and eyes.
The old butler Charles stood behind the other party with his hands behind his back, with a respectful attitude.
The two daughters, Nancy and Milinda, stopped shooting and came over with smiles on their faces. Even Prince and Qiao An stopped discussing each other, and came over honestly and said hello to Gillan.
Ramon was jealous because he was stared at by this illegitimate son, but he could not show it in front of his wife and other children.
“Haha!” Ramon smiled heartily and stood up directly.
He strode forward and patted the bastard's shoulder affectionately.
"Gilan, I also planned to ask Charles to pick you up, just in time!"
Ramon said proudly:
"I've heard all about it. , you won the championship in the 'Young Rod Master Competition' held by the Silver Lizard Club! Even the eldest son of the Propaganda Minister Stavin was no match for you!"
"Amazing, as expected! My son!”
"Yeah." Jilan said calmly, holding his cane in his hand without squinting. "I was also invited to attend Viscount Loben's private dinner."
The corners of Ramon's eyes twitched slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure and laughed.
“It’s a good thing to get to know more upper-class people, especially old nobles like Viscount Loben Fasol.”
Ramon took out his cigarette case and lit one for himself .
Swallowing the smoke, he smiled again:
“I heard from Milinda that you get along well with Miss Dedel, the second daughter of Earl Taylor’s family, so that’s good...if you can get closer to her. One step, I can make the decision to hold the wedding for you.”
Hearing this, not only Nancy, Milinda, and Joan looked surprised, but even Mrs. Xenia looked surprised.
As for Prince, he was startled, and then his expression turned ugly.
"No wonder you want to marry the Taylor family. You have a good relationship with Lord Crook..."
Gillan turned his head and grinned.
Looking at his meaningful eyes, Ramon took a deep breath.
"The Farhan family and the Taylor family are both earl families with a long history. It would be a good thing if they can get closer through marriage."
Ramon seemed not to have heard the other party's words. Behind the scenes, he smiled.
Jilan nodded and suddenly changed the topic:
"By the way, last time I came to the manor for a dinner party, did you all have a drink?"
Hearing this, Ramon's expression changed.
