I live in the game

Chapter 223 Not a Detective Story
Shao Dalong stopped in front of the desk, and said very seriously: "Duchess, I know that what happened tonight has hit you hard, and a good birthday party has turned into this situation, but I am here to make you happy Suffering a greater loss, I hope you can explain to me, what happened?"

Perhaps the Duchess sensed the seriousness in his words, she looked up at Shao Dalong, and after a long while, she finally said a word:
"Dear Dada, I'm very glad that you have such a heart, but, next time, can you take off the headgear first?"

Shao Dalong: ...

Gan, it seems that the Duchess is not as depressed as she looks!
Shao Dalong simply took off his hood. Anyway, there were only three aborigines from the game world present: "As you wish, can you tell me now?"

The Duchess showed a helpless wry smile, and sighed: "I don't know what's going on, I've been with my dear Aramis, and then the personal maid suddenly came in and told me about the tragedy that happened to Duke Nekhludoff. People went to check the basement where the super magic props were stored, and found that [wives and concubines] had disappeared, and the lock of the storage room was also broken."

Shao Dalong pretended to nod his head thoughtfully, but doubts welled up in his heart.

The Duchess did not mention the fact that she wanted to give him [a group of wives and concubines].

Is he being overwhelmed, or is the duchess really hiding something?

He looked at Aramis.

"That's right, I've been with her all the time." Aramis shrugged, "I was saying that I prepared a unique birthday present, which would definitely give her a huge surprise, but the maid rushed in and gave her a huge It's a terrible scare."

The words of Aramis are equivalent to the alibi of the Duchess, at least it is impossible for her to hand over to Nekhludoff the [wives and concubines].

"That is to say, someone stole [Groups of Wives and Concubines] and handed it over to Nekhludoff, or was it Nekhludoff himself who stole it?" Shao Dalong speculated following their words.

"No matter what it is, the two envoys of the Beast Emperor Kingdom will not be satisfied. The former is murder and a disgrace, and the latter is an even greater disgrace." Aramis shook his head.

This is the most troublesome part of this matter. The cause of Nekhludoff's death is too dishonorable. The Emperor of Beasts would rather that he was murdered than admit that he died because of lust. There are groups of wives and concubines].

There were too many guests present, even if the Beast Emperor Nation wanted to discuss with the Tricolor Empire and let them keep this matter secret and preserve Nekhludoff's reputation, it would be nothing more than deception.

Shao Dalong frowned when he thought of this.

Duke Scheverus has a problem!
Whether it was a homicide or an accident, Nekhludoff's death method could not be brought to the fore, but he did not appease the envoys of the Beast Empire in private, but told the matter in public, which made the situation irreversible.

Although what he said seems to be a frank admission of mistakes, but when such a serious situation occurs, who knows whether the anger of the Beast Emperor Kingdom will only be aimed at the Duke personally, or will it affect the alliance between the two countries?
The biggest beneficiaries of killing the special envoy of the Beast Emperor in Silver Sail City are those who want to destroy the relationship between the two countries.

And Duke Scheverus telling the truth can also adversely affect the relationship between the two countries.

Thinking of this, Shao Dalong felt that the identity of the real murderer seemed to be revealed.

In the residence of the Duke of Scheverus, besides the duchess, the only person who can use [a group of wives and concubines] at will is the duke himself!
As for the door lock of the storage room being destroyed, it was just an act to show respect.

Shao Dalong did not express his speculation.

Because he didn't have any evidence to prove that the duke did it, and judging by the duchess' attitude, she might not know it, but she still chose to help the duke hide it.

Even, perhaps many of the nobles present had already guessed the truth, but everyone pretended not to know, and they were still showing off each other's acting skills!
Even if the suspicion on Duke Scheverus was as obvious as the huge moon at night in the game world, no one would take the initiative to expose it.

It does no one any good to speak out.

Shao Dalong finally figured out that he is not in a detective story now, he is in a political and social occasion, among a group of greedy nobles, no one cares about the truth at all, they only consider gains and losses.

What he needs to do, of course, is not to speak out reasoning like a detective and bring the real culprit to justice, but to think about how this incident will affect the direction of the entire game world, and what kind of ending is his Hope to see.

Among the most important questions are, why did Duke Chevroux destroy the relationship with the Beast Emperor Kingdom?
In order to achieve this goal, will he take further actions?

From the player's standpoint, do you need to stop him?

While Shao Dalong was thinking, Jane, who had been silent just now, suddenly said: "Master Dada, you haven't eaten anything until now, why don't you go down and eat something first? The Duchess will leave it to Lord Aramis." gone."

Shao Dalong was stunned.

He was in the salon just now, did he have any snacks?
Although he didn't eat as much as Jiang Wen, he had indeed eaten. Jane was sitting next to him, so it was impossible not to see it.

So, this girl is suggesting that it's time for me to leave?
Shao Dalong will feel better soon.

That's right, anyway, even if she stays here, the Duchess doesn't seem to intend to tell the truth.

"I do feel a little hungry after you say that." Shao Dalong glanced at Jane gratefully, and then said goodbye to the Duchess, "I won't bother you for now, if you think of anything, or you can find something useful for me, please feel free to order."

"Dear Dada, I am very grateful for your concern at this difficult time, let's go to dinner." The Duchess nodded her thanks.

"Dada, something so big has happened, I will stay here tonight to see if there is anything I can do to help, you can stay here, or let Rebecca take you back first." Aramis said .

Shao Dalong nodded, and then left the room with Jane.

"Master Dada, let's go back to the salon, there are still a lot of snacks over there, don't waste it." Jane said immediately.

"Okay." Shao Dalong didn't object.

The noble ladies have already gone to the lobby on the first floor, which means that there is no one in the salon at this time. Jane said this, obviously hoping that their next conversation will not be heard by others.

The two returned to the salon, and Jane carefully closed the door, then made a new cup of black tea for Shao Dalong with a smile, carefully put the tea on a plate, and placed it in front of him.

"Master Dada, thank you for listening to me. You can listen to me while drinking tea." Jane smiled slightly and sat down opposite Shao Dalong.

Shao Dalong didn't speak.

He was very curious about what the other party would say to him.

The reason why he was willing to agree to Jane to go back to the salon with her was because Shao Dalong had already known through her character panel that this girl was not easy——
