Chapter 333 Accident
Chapter 333 Accident
Following the mottled stone steps, Colin followed Earl Schultz toward the basement of Swan Castle.
The two attendants led the way ahead and lit the brazier embedded in the stone wall in advance. The fire illuminated the dim and gloomy corridor.
Due to inconvenient ventilation, the air in the basement is turbid, the aroma of wine, smell of plants and trees, and a faint smell of rotten smell are mixed together, making people feel bored.
Soon, a few people walked through the corridor and came to a more spacious underground space.
Earl Schultz pointed to the wooden doors in front of him and asked, "Vissue Angrey, there are seven rooms here. Which one do you want to see first?"
Colin glanced around the wooden door, and seemed to point to the middle casually, saying, "Is this a wine cellar?"
"Yes." Earl Schultz smiled gently, "and it is hidden in it that the most precious wine of Swan Castle."
"Then I need to see it even more."
Earl Schultz nodded to the attendant calmly and signaled the other party to open the door.
With a slightly harsh creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and a scent of wine scented out.
Colin's eyes lit up, as if attracted by the smell of wine, and immediately strode in.
Earl Schultz also walked in, pointing at the rows of wine racks in the room and introducing:
"Vissue Angrey, these are the finest wines produced in Winster Heights. The more you go, the higher the cellar, the higher the age. If you like it, you can choose one for dinner later."
"I don't know much about wine, why don't you choose one for me?" Colin walked in and looked around casually, as if he was really attracted by the wine in the room.
But in fact, he had already smelled the familiar faint smell of blood.
Bishop John's disappearance is indeed inseparable from the Schultz family!
Moreover, the Schultz family may also have connections with the Morrison family.
I just don't know why they wanted to kidnap Bishop John.
"Virus Angre, if I were you, I would have chosen that row of wine." Earl Schultz said with a smile, pointing to a wine rack in the middle of the room.
Colin asked curiously: "Why?"
"First of all, wine is not suitable for drinking immediately when it is first produced. It is best to store it for four to five years to eliminate its sourness.
This row of wines is a work from Winster Manor four years ago. Moreover, the climate happened to be hot and the precipitation was abundant, making the quality of the grapes very good. I believe you will be able to taste the most wonderful flavor."
After listening to Count Schultz's explanation, Colin nodded as if he had understood it, strode forward, ready to pick one and leave.
Anyway, his purpose of this trip had been achieved, and it was confirmed that the Schultz family was indeed as he had guessed, with ulterior motives.
But just as he picked a piece of wine and was about to leave, he swept across the other side of the wine rack from the corner of his eyes, and his whole body seemed to solidify in an instant.
"Vissue Angrey, have you chosen?" Earl Schultz asked in confusion as he looked at Colin who was motionless.
But Collin still stared at the depths of the wine rack, as if he had not heard Count Schultz's question.
Earl Schultz looked at Lucien beside him, his eyes full of doubt, but he still strode forward.
Then, the couple were also stunned.
Because, a corpse suddenly lay behind the row of wine racks.
The body seemed to have been drained from blood, with pale face and haggard appearance, but it could still be vaguely identified that it was Bishop John who had been missing for many days!
Earl Schultz stared at Lucien immediately, as if questioning the other party, how did you do it?
Lucien frowned, his eyes full of doubts and grievances. He wanted to tell his wife that he had already reminded the guy to move a little first.
But how could he know that that guy actually missed the most important "thing"!
No!
Not an omission!
He did it on purpose!
Earl Schultz felt a chill covering her whole body. She had already understood the sinister intentions of the "Duke of St. Hilder".
The other party should have seen Vera not entering the city, and realized that his original plan might have been discovered, so he immediately changed the plan and sold Count Schultz without hesitation!
Colin has discovered the body, what should I do now?
Earl Schultz only felt a mud in his mind, and countless thoughts emerged like mushrooms after a rain, but none of them were reliable.
Colin was also stupid now.
He had never expected that Bishop John's body was found in the basement of Swan Castle.
When he took the initiative to propose to "visit" Swan Castle, he did not intend to find out Bishop John at all, but wanted to confirm whether the Schultz family had anything to do with Bishop John's disappearance.
The way to confirm is through that special bloody smell.
But he also thought that the current situation would occur.
He had given the Schultz family so much time to "clear the scene". Who knew that the other party was really stupid to throw Bishop John's body into the basement...
In theory, Colin should be happy that Bishop John's disappearance was cracked.
But at this moment, he couldn't be happy at all.
There was a substantial pressure surrounded by Colin from behind, completely locking down Colin.
He knew that Lucien had a murderous intention!
During the sudden change of the electrocardiogram, Colin slowly turned around, showed a stiff smile and said:
"Master Earl, I didn't expect that the murderer who murdered Bishop John was so cunning and sinister!"
Earl Schultz looked at Colin with a blank expression and asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because he actually threw the bishop's body into the basement of Swan Castle, it was clearly intended to blame the Schultz family! Do you think he was sinister?"
Earl Schultz was slightly stunned and immediately understood what Colin meant.
At this time, Count Schultz was also very confused and didn't know what to do with Colin.
Bishop John's body actually appeared in the basement of Swan Castle, which made it difficult for the Schultz family to explain to the church.
She did think about killing witness Colin and forcibly suppressing the matter.
But he was worried that doing so would completely anger the St. Heards.
Now the solution Colin throws out seems to work, but she still can't make up her mind.
She didn't know if such an excuse could be confused in the church, and if the damn "Duke of St. Hilde" would have any tricks?
Colin looked at the Count Schultz who was silent and his face changed constantly, and carefully reminded: "Sir, don't make wrong decisions, and don't be fooled by the real murderer!"
Earl Schultz bit his red lips lightly and said in a deep voice: "Vissue Angrey, Bishop John's death really has nothing to do with the Schultz family!"
"I believe you!" Collin immediately interjected, "If you knew that Bishop John was dead here, how could you take the initiative to take me down and choose wine?"
Earl Schultz nodded and let out a long sigh, then she turned to look at Lucien, as if seeking his opinion.
Lucien did not relax, and the terrifying power emitted from his body was like a big net, covering Colin, as if something was wrong, a thunderous attack would land on his head.
Seeing this, Colin's heart sank. He was about to explain again, but he heard the voice of the attendant coming from outside the wine cellar:
"Master, the city defense force sent a message saying that the Archbishop of the North has just arrived in Swan City!"
"Ajani?"
The atmosphere in the wine cellar changed again.
