The first thousand two hundred and ninety-two chapters silence
Li Huailin came to Sardinra again, and there were also Regg and more than a dozen guards. Then, Rigi, who had just woken up, also followed. As soon as the group arrived in the city, they immediately attracted the attention of the city guards. Of course, the team of more than a dozen people looked like soldiers. Of course, the city guards here had to come to ask about the situation. When they heard that it was Duke Aquitaine, the city guards were also very nervous. ≥
"Has this incident been alarmed to the palace?" The captain of the city guard here asked carefully. Of course, he thought that the incident here had been alarmed to the emperor, so the emperor ordered Li Huailin to see the situation.
"Not yet." Li Huailin said, "It's just that this man named Carl owed me a lot of debts, and then disappeared now. Do you think I'm coming to him?"
"Duke, what does disappear mean?" the city guard captain here asked a little strangely.
"Isn't this rich businessman missing?" Li Huailin asked strangely.
"It's not missing." The city guard captain here said a little strangely, "It was indeed a case of missing outings before, but after a little search, we immediately found the body of this man named Carl, just outside the city... This is a murder case."
"Ha?" Li Huailin was a little stunned, "Have you found the body? Why don't I know about this?"
"This... the Duke didn't inform us that we would report it to you..." The city guard captain here said a little embarrassedly. Who knows you are paying attention to this matter?
"This guy is dead? How did he die?" Li Huailin asked.
"No external injuries, it looks like... it's poisoned to death." The city guard captain here replied.
"The poisoned one? Where is the corpse?" Li Huailin asked.
"His wife is going back, and she is probably at his house now." The city guard captain replied.
"Let's go, I'm just having some questions to ask his wife." Li Huailin said.
Of course, the city guards could not stop Li Huailin, so they took Li Huailin to Carl's house soon. As soon as they walked to the door, Li Huailin saw a middle-aged NPC wearing a noble robe waiting for him. Needless to say, this must be the lord of Sardinra City.
"Duke, here is the city lord Roses Yockett of Sardinra, welcome the arrival of the Duke." Sure enough, seeing Li Huailin appear, the city lord of York here immediately rushed over to say hello. Of course, there is nothing to say. According to Li Huailin's current status in the human empire, local lords will come to say hello to him wherever they go, otherwise it would be no trivial matter.
"Hello, Lord Yorke." Li Huailin also greeted him casually, and then briefly introduced his purpose this time.
"This..." When I heard that Li Huailin was here to investigate the murder case, the Lord Yorker here was obviously nervous. Of course, it was not that he was the murderer, but that he was worried about his future.
"Don't worry, this time it's a private matter. I won't report it after the investigation is completed. Anthony hasn't come so free to take care of the murder case here." Li Huailin said.
"Yes. Yes, thank you Duke." The Lord of York City here, of course, instantly understood what Li Huailin meant and wiped his sweat a little. Although he said so, he still looked a little worried.
Of course, Li Huailin didn't care what Yockett was thinking here, so he took the people in. There were still quite a few people in the hall now. Li Huailin obviously saw a coffin in the middle of the hall, and a guy next to the coffin who looked like a clergy was reciting scriptures to the people inside. Of course, Li Huailin also saw a middle-aged woman in black and a boy in black sitting next to him. From the faces of the two of them, Li Huailin quickly understood their identities.
"Master Lord, you must catch the murderer who killed my husband." Seeing Yorke, Yockett's wife Kasandra immediately stood up and couldn't help but cry again.
"Duke, this is Carl's wife Kassandra." The Lord of York City here immediately introduced to Li Huailin, and then said to Kassandra, "This is Lord Nasser Empire Duke Lord Wairuolin. This Lord wants to ask you some questions, so he must answer truthfully."
Cassandra seemed to be frightened by Li Huailin's name. After all, the Duke of the Empire is a super high official. The Lord of York City and her husband are quite friendly, but she has never seen such a nobleman as the Duke. She immediately knelt down to Li Huailin, "Duke, the common woman will speak."
"How many years have you been married to your husband?" Li Huailin asked suddenly.
"Uh... twelve years." Cassandra here immediately replied, "We were promoted to Little Curt after a year of marriage. Now Little Curt is eleven years old, so we have been married for twelve years."
Kassandra pointed to the boy next to him, of course, his son and Carl, whose name is Cote, who is eleven years old this year.
"Yes." The Lord of Yorker next to him also said, "In fact, I have some private relationship with Carl. I have also attended their wedding. It should be twelve years ago."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded, and then asked again, "So do you know what your husband did before? Have you ever been a butler of a noble master or something?"
"Ha?" Kassandra here was a little stunned, "Dude, this... my master used to be the son of the manager of the Phalaenopsis Chamber of Commerce. He left the chamber of commerce a long time ago and then gradually became rich. My master has always been in business. I have never heard of the housekeeper of the noble master."
"Is that true?" Li Huailin nodded slightly, "But when I came a few days ago, he told me in person that he had been the butler of the Earl Gittalla's house."
"Earl Gitalla, who is he?" Kasandra here was obviously stunned. "His Royal Highness, I have never heard Carl say this name. It is true that we have some communication with the nobles, but basically they are local nobles here, but we have not yet been able to get in touch with such a great nobleman."
"Yes, Lord Duke." The Lord of York City next to him also said, "I have never heard of the name of Earl Gittalla. I don't remember that our empire now has Earl Gittalla... Did Lord Duke remember the name wrong?"
Yorker is really not a lie. Li Huailin also investigated before. The title of Count Gittalla was indeed inherited by a relative of Count Gittalla, but later changed its name. Now when it comes to Count Gittalla, few people really know.
"I understand." Li Huailin nodded slightly. It sounded strange, but it was not very strange. In fact, when he heard that Carl was dead, Li Huailin thought of something. That is, Carl was actually just a substitute. Someone gave him information and asked him to pretend to be the butler of Count Gittalla, but he didn't know whether it was true or not, because there were not many people who knew Count Gittalla, and of course they wouldn't know what the butler of Count Gittalla looked like. In the current situation, of course, Carl was silenced here.
"Does any of you understand autopsy?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"This... I know a little bit about Marshal." Rigi raised his hand and said.
"Then see how this Carl died, and then see if there are any clues." Li Huailin said.
"Yes." Regis nodded here, and then immediately walked towards Carl's body. Kasandra here hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to go up and stop him. After all, she was the Duke and she didn't dare to offend him.
Regis looked at Carl's body here a little, mainly looking at his face, then turned his eyelids and looked at it, saying, "Master Marshal, this corpse has a white face, but its eyes are a little black. It looks like it is indeed poisoned, but I have never seen such poison..."
While talking, Regis was about to turn Carl's body and look at what was going on on the back of the body. However, before he could do anything, a scream suddenly came from the side. Everyone turned around and saw that Carl's son Cote suddenly fell to the ground, in pain.
"Little Curt!" Of course, Kassandra here immediately rushed to check his son. Li Huailin was also a little stunned and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, Little Curt felt a little uncomfortable in the morning... Alas?" As he was speaking, Little Curt on the ground suddenly began to twitch, looking very serious. Not only that, his abdomen suddenly began to swollen, and he felt like a balloon that was washed away.
"Bang", when everyone didn't react, a stream of black smoke suddenly appeared on the body of Little Curt here. Cassandra next to him had no reaction at all. He was immediately covered by black smoke. After only 3 seconds, Cassandra here suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood and fell directly on Little Curt.
"It's... poisonous!" The people next to them were frightened. This was not only poisonous but also violent. The crowd around immediately screamed and dispersed.
"Protect the Marshal!" Rigi from here jumped back to Li Huailin in an instant, and immediately pulled Li Huailin back.
"Okay, please dodge it, I'm fine." Of course Li Huailin was not afraid. The least he was afraid was toxin attack, and he was adding blood to himself. How could he be afraid? The priest who was praying there was also quick reaction. He raised the priest's staff in front of him, and a golden light flashed on his body, as if he had used some poison-removing spell. Sure enough, the black smoke here was immediately controlled.
