Chapter 11 Key Evidence
Fortunately, Candy is not here. I don't know where he is hiding in the castle now.
No matter what, the farther away from that woman who is as scary as a bomb, the better.
The hall is very close to the castle gate.
Lockerbie saw the team of servants he had sent out returning from outside.
He kept paying attention to the movement outside the castle and did not hear a single gunshot.
That guy Chandler runs pretty fast.
Although he did not witness the gunfight with his own eyes, he could imagine that it was a trick played by Candy and Chandler.
The purpose is to create chaos so that candy can sneak in.
"These guys don't have any other skills. They are really good at playing tricks like this."
Second Lieutenant Contense led the team back to the castle, asked his men to return to their original posts, and reported to the baron himself.
The Baron was accompanying Barrett and Panklov to have dinner in the small living room on the first floor of the central tower of the castle.
"Lord Baron, we did not catch those people"
"There are many woods in that area. It is difficult to find people who just want to escape after dark." The baron understood him.
"But I found some gunpowder wrappers"
"Did you get any clues?"
"We found two kinds of wrapping paper in the woods, one with gunpowder from the Ministry of Interior's factory, and the other from the military's gunpowder factory."
"I'm curious about who had a fight with whom in the woods."
"After daybreak, I will take some people to the forest to check carefully. Maybe we can get more clues."
"Did you only find a few pieces of paper?" Pankolov sounded a little dissatisfied.
"The most important clue I've got so far is a puddle of shit."
"Shit, I don't understand how shit can be an important clue!" Barrett interjected.
"We found a clear human face on it"
"You mean you found a clear human face in a puddle of shit!"
"Yes, I have no way of knowing how that face was engraved on the dog shit, but it must be related to the person who launched the attack. As long as we find the suspect, we just need to put the puddle of dog shit on his face.
If it matches perfectly, any of his sophistry will pale in comparison!"
"Contense, you are right. Did you properly preserve that pile of shit, oh, it should be said that it is important and important evidence?"
"Yes, Lord Baron, I can't guarantee its long-term stability, but if you keep it for a week, you're still pretty sure."
"Let's put this aside for now. The most important thing at the moment is the defense inside the castle. Although most of the people who come in are old people from the town, we must prevent anyone from getting in."
"Lord Baron, I saw that all the townspeople were staying in the castle. Why not just send these townspeople back?"
"Those cowards in the woods don't dare to attack me directly, but they have no scruples in attacking ordinary townspeople."
"You are afraid that they will intercept and kill these townspeople on the road, but why would they do that?"
"First ruin my reputation, and then mobilize the townspeople to knock me down."
"I see"
"Keep them all here tonight, wait until tomorrow morning, bring more people to send them back, and then go search the woods."
"But where are there so many rooms in the castle?"
"Just like in the army, everyone is given a blanket and can sleep in the hall. When these people were young, they could sleep on hay when it snowed heavily."
"Yes sir"
"By the way, find a few people to guard where they can be seen."
"Are you afraid of them..."
"It's not what I thought. I was afraid that someone would do something bad to them and frame the matter on me."
"Lord Baron, you are much more thoughtful than I thought."
"Contense, you've learned how to flatter others, go and have a meal, and remember to wash your hands well."
"Lord Baron, I have never touched that piece of evidence with my hands."
"I'm kidding you"
"My lords, I will take my leave first."
After Contense retreated.
Pankolov said: "I admire this guy very much. I heard that he drives a car very well. Her Royal Highness the Queen lacks a trustworthy driver. How about you let him go back with us when we go back?"
The Baron hesitated, although he knew that Pankolov was telling the truth.
And now more and more nobles are giving up the carriages that symbolize their status and switching to faster and more reliable cars.
The Queen does need a driver like Contense, but he has a greater use than being a driver.
If war breaks out, Contants can at least lead a regiment or even a division to fight.
“I can recommend a better driver than him”
Barrett said: "Huntington, what are you thinking? I think the queen's safety is the most important thing. Do you think the reason why those nobles can unite is really because they love our majesty!"
The Baron certainly understands what Barrett means. His Majesty the King has already made himself infamous. If the Queen, whose marriage was in name only, was not deeply loved by the people and nobles, the constitutionalists would have driven them away.
Went to the bottom of the sea.
"Okay, I'll talk to Contense about it tomorrow."
Pankolov and Barrett looked at each other and smiled. This was something they had discussed long ago.
Xiong Dali may be more powerful, but if Xiong Dali is taken over, the Baron will really lose his vitality.
Moreover, Contense is younger and has more potential.
The group of goblins seemed to be waiting for something to arrive on the beach.
It is almost impossible to make a group of goblins completely quiet.
The guys soon started arguing with each other.
Xie Sheng let the hunting dog lie in the distance and looked at the goblins quietly.
It turned out to be a fight for a sea turtle stranded on the beach.
If it fell into the hands of the goblins, this turtle as big as a pot lid would be in bad luck.
Xie Sheng had no time to care about such things. After setting the conditions for the hunting dog to summon him, he turned his attention back to the castle.
The first thing that needs to be focused on is the woman who sneaked into the castle.
Xie Sheng tried hard to connect with the black cat, hoping that it had not lost him.
After Candy followed the townspeople into the castle, he quickly separated from the townspeople.
Her goal was the tower, having already inquired in detail about the structure of the castle from Lockerbie.
He also carried a sketch of the castle structure obtained from Lockerbie.
Along the way, she moved forward cautiously with her body close to the wall. She originally planned to touch the tower upstairs.
But it was time for the castle to entertain the townspeople for dinner.
Servants were constantly coming and going in the corridor, delivering water and meals to the townspeople in the hall.
In order to avoid being discovered, Candy decided to hide first and wait until later to complete the plan.
She hid in a utility room near the stairs on the first floor.
He took out a sharp dagger from his leather boot.
