Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

　　 It was nine o'clock in the evening when Lothar and his party arrived at the castle.

　　 The castle guards who had been ordered long ago did not stop them, but took them directly to the meeting room of the castle, and then went to invite the earl.

　　From here, it can be seen that the count attaches great importance to the assassination.

　　 As the main person in charge of the investigation, Sir Newlen took the initiative to tell the earl about the investigation work without any omission.

　　 "Is it so tricky?"

　　 After listening to Sir Nurem’s report, Count Ostard rubbed his brows and asked.

　　 After thinking about it, he continued to ask.

　　 "So, do you think there is any way to continue the investigation?"

　　 Even if he is rich in political experience, he can't figure out what he is now, let alone think of a feasible way.

　　Sir Newlen looked at his lord awkwardly, and after a while, he twisted and spoke.

　　 "I'm sorry, Lord Earl. There is really nothing left at the police station."

　　 "Hmm," Count Ostard nodded helplessly.

　　 He knows that the main job of the police station is to maintain the stability of Qatar City.

　　 Let them deal with small cases such as theft and robbery.

　　 Investigating cases like assassinations is a bit difficult.

　　 In fact, in the current era, the detection rate of assassination cases has always been very low.

　　 In addition to ordinary people, those with wealth such as nobles and merchants will bring more or less guards when they enter and exit.

　　 This is the main method used by the upper class to deal with the assassination.

　　 Like Lin Peng, who drives with an old servant when he goes out, the difficulty of assassination is not too low.

　　 Shaking his head, Count Ostard gave up his expectation of the police station and turned to look at Lothar.

　　 "Then Lothar, do you have any comments?"

　　"I’m sorry, Lord Earl, I’m afraid I’m going to live up to your expectations.

　　 At this stage, the only thing that can be done is to wait for the police station to investigate the identity of the assassin.

　　 Such as whether the assassin came here recently, how to come here, etc.

　　Also, you can also try the whereabouts of the businessman who helped them enter the upper city.

　　 But judging from the meticulous methods of the planner, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a satisfactory result in the end. "

　　 "Well," Lothar thought for a while, then said.

　　 "Earl, I have another suggestion.

　　 Judging from the small habits of the assassins, they should be people from the kingdom of Elsora.

　　 The Kingdom of Elsora has always been in conflict with the Duchy of Perth. You might as well ask the Duke to send an envoy to pass a document to the royal family of Elsora, ask about it, and see how they react.

　　 Even if they are not sure that they are behind the scenes, they can still fight for some benefits.

　　In this way, it can be regarded as waste utilization.

　　 Well, you can try the same method on the Gosmilai Kingdom. "

　　 Lothar's suggestion made Count Ostard's eyes bright.

　　 Assassinating aristocrats is never a simple matter. For the entire aristocratic class, this is one of their taboos.

　　 The kingdom of Elsora and the Principality of Perth are adjacent to each other across the sea, and have been greedy for Perth’s navigational skills, which has caused a lot of trouble to the Principality.

　　 Now suddenly they have a handle, even if they are not so reliable, taking the opportunity to knock them can help them converge.

　　 made up his mind secretly, but considering that he had to discuss with the duke, Count Ostard did not directly agree.

　　 "In this case, there is really no other way. The police station will continue to chase in this direction, maybe there are any clues that have not been found."

　　 The earl gave such an order, and several people dispersed.

　　Because Lin Peng was still healing in Earls Castle, Lothar obtained the earl's consent and stayed in the castle with Hepburn for the time being.

　　Earl even thoughtfully arranged for them to rest in a room close to Lin Peng's ward.

　　 Lothar first sent Hepburn to his room to rest, and then under the guidance of the servant, he went to Lin Peng's ward.

　　 The treatment of the injury of the old scholar has ended. It is probably the use of soothing medicine. The old scholar is lying flat on the hospital bed and sleeping soundly.

　　 But judging from the old man’s pale face, even in his sleep, I’m afraid it won’t be good.

　　 The attendant maid recognized Lothar's identity and knew that he was a guest specially approved by the earl. She left the room lightly, leaving only the sentence "I'm at the door. Please tell me if you have anything to do."

　　 whispered "Thank you" towards the back of the maid, Lothar took a stool and sat down in front of Lin Peng's bed.

　　Because of the many injuries, the old scholar only covered a thin blanket.

　　 However, several stoves have been added to the room, and the temperature is not low, so I don’t have to worry about catching a cold.

　　Looking at the old man's locked face, Lothar's thoughts writhed.

　　 This old man who is about to 60 years old has provided him with a lot of help and advice for understanding the world.

　　 But now, he can't find the instigator of the assassination for the old man.

　　 Even if it has provided him with a lot of convenient systems, it still cannot find a breakthrough for him.

　　 What made Lothar the most incomprehensible was why the assassin assassinated Lin Peng.

　　 The assassination process was too simple and ordinary, giving Lothar the illusion that the opponent was just looking for someone to kill.

　　 Is it because of the identity factor he represents, or his own past experience.

　　 If it is because of past experience, considering his travel life before he settled in the Principality of Perth, there would not be too many enemies.

　　 If it is because of identity factors, it can be connected with the current situation.

　　 But there are also many forces involved in the chaos of the Principality, and they may also plan this assassination for various purposes.

　　 Even Count Ostad, Lothar is not without doubt.

　　 It was like the earl actually doubted him.

　　 But the temptation on the earl just now dispelled this suspicion for the time being.

　　 If the assassination was really planned by the earl, when he heard Lothar's suggestion, he would not be immediately moved.

　　 "What are you thinking about?" Lin Peng opened his dim eyes, saw Lothar who was lost by the bed, and asked aloud for a while.

　　 The sudden sound interrupted Lothar's thoughts, and he raised his head to meet the old man's gaze.

　　 After a moment, Lothar took the kettle from the small table next to him and poured a cup of warm water.

　　 "I'm wondering, which one of the lackeys actually came to assassinate an old guy like you who has no power to hold a chicken?

　　 Come and drink some water. "

　　 While talking, Lothar plugged a slender iron pipe into the water cup and put it to Lin Peng's mouth.

　　 Lin Peng grabbed the iron pipe and drank gulpingly.

　　 He didn't spit out the iron pipe until he drank a glass of water.

　　 "Cough cough", Lin Peng coughed, and then he said that it was not pressing down to drink water too fast.

　　 "I'm telling you, it's not that I am bragging, the world is thinking about killing me, that's too much.

　　 Bring me some more water, I'm so thirsty. "

　　 Lothar poured another glass of water for Lin Peng and helped him drink it, laughing and crying.

　　 "Being so ‘remembered’ by others, is it still a good thing for you?"

　　 "Almost, almost." The old scholar smiled pretentiously.

　　 "Well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, what time is it now?"

　　 "It's now nine o'clock in the evening, it's almost ten o'clock." Lothar put down his teacup, glanced at the clock in the room and replied.

　　 "Oh, that's it," Lin Peng sighed. For him, it would be better for him to sleep until the injury heals.

　　 "Although lying here is quite comfortable, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking Lazar, but I still want to go back and read a book.

　　 By the way, because of you, the good book I just found is not finished yet. "

　　 Well, this reason is indeed in line with Lao Lin Peng's setting.

　　 Lothar agreed and smiled, then suddenly spoke.

　　 "Sorry, old scholar, I'm afraid I can't find the murderer behind you assassinated."

　　 "I had expected it a long time ago. After all, assassinations have always been the most difficult to detect."

　　 Lin Peng didn't care much about Lothar's words, just a calm expression on his face.

　　 "But you would give up so altogether, but it makes me curious.

　　 Come on, tell me about your investigation. "

　　 The curiosity on the old man's face is not fake.

　　 But this even gave Lothar the idea of ​​covering his face and leaving.

　　 But looking at his firm eyes, Lothar still sighed and recounted the investigation of himself and others.

　　 But when it was halfway through, the old scholar had fainted.

　　 feelings, this is when the story comes to listen to.

　　 Lothar smiled, did not interrupt the story, just lowered his voice.

　　 Maybe what the elderly need is just a thing to divert pain.

　　"...In this way, you can only wait for the progress of the follow-up investigation.

　　 To be honest, hope is not great. "

After 　　 finished speaking, Lothar got up and gently exited the ward.
