The red moon returns

Chapter 355 The noisy Duke’s Mansion
The two secretly entered the Governor's Palace in the Valente family's carriage and had a secret conversation for several hours with Baron Bolvar, the spy leader responsible for the security of Her Royal Highness.

Lynch told the Baron all his guesses.

The attack on Her Royal Highness the day before yesterday was very strange. The action was very large. Not only did the gas pipeline explode and half of the Crown Plaza was destroyed, but two soul-shifting dead soldiers who were not sure whether they were level 3 or 4 were thrown in. How could such a big commotion be caused? There won't be too much power.

Therefore, as soon as the Bishop of Harlan mentioned the big plan that Raymond mentioned, Lynch immediately connected everything. The League of Shadows is likely to attack Her Royal Highness, and in order to prevent this plan, Raymond knows what he will do. What's going on.

Baron Bovar's expression changed after hearing this. He no longer doubted Lynch's acumen. After the three discussed for a long time, His Excellency the Baron secretly met with the Duke and Viscount Molière. After a long time, several figures quietly walked out of the Duke's Palace. Leave and go in all directions of the city.

But the dance will still go on, as long as it’s not the end of the world.

It was past noon when Lynch walked out the back door, and he and Miss Valente were separated.

After all, she was an unmarried lady. He dared to enter the venue with Miss Valente. It is estimated that tomorrow there will be news on the front pages of newspapers all over Rand. The assassins sent by the Valente family should be downstairs the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, Mr. Detective had to spend an hour alone to go around from the back door to the front door of the Governor's Palace, swearing from exhaustion along the way.

But when he walked back to the main entrance, he still felt that his trip was worthwhile.

In this case, even if you are still outside the door, the war is around you.

"Cooperate, of course. His Majesty the King is wise and His Excellency the Duke is wise. This new rule is suitable for the current Rhineland."

Lin Qi touched his nose and smiled delicately: "You've never seen centralized security checks, you've never seen admission by head, you haven't seen a metal detector yet. The thousands of years of struggle experience accumulated in my hometown will bore you to death."

The carriages were parked in a row, and the difference was immediately apparent.

The gate of the mansion is wide and can accommodate at least four carriages traveling in parallel. Many carriages have been parked in the small square outside the gate. Gentlemen and ladies in formal dresses or formal attire meet in front of the gate. They are polite and smile, which makes the atmosphere in front of the gate. Even busier than Crown Plaza.

A purple paulownia wood carriage costing two hundred pounds? That kind of mass-produced standard carriage is simply not available here. The driver has to stand with the brim of his hat pressed. At least it has to be made of stone heart wood, and it has to be made by hand by famous experts. Otherwise, the owner can only sneak in and you take the purple paulownia wood. Carriage coming? No wonder you're stuck in traffic.

"There is nothing you can do, Your Excellency Baron, please cooperate." The middle-aged butler who greeted guests at the door with a smile that was more elegant than the surrounding nobles, advised in a standard Norin accent, "This rule comes from the royal capital. It came from the other side. It is said that it has just become popular over there, and even His Majesty the King praised it. You..."

'Who is so wicked as to come up with such an idea? '

Those who come in taxis will not attract much attention. They are not on the same track at all. Forcible comparison will only show a lack of cultivation. Most nobles will not make this mistake, but those who started from the common people are called It is only for the nouveau riche who are wealthy nobles with gold coins that they occasionally do such scandalous things that have made people laugh at them for generations. After all, a taxi is also a car, and there is someone strolling next to it.

As the people around them echoed loudly, the atmosphere in the crowd gradually became more and more harmonious. Occasionally, one could hear words such as, "Whose brain was eaten by the evil god and made this suggestion?" His whole family should be thrown into the dreamland. Praise like "Nian" made Lin Qi secretly happy and his smile became even brighter.

Just north of Rhine City, half an hour's drive from the city center in the Tiger Claw area, two endless metal fences line up on both sides, surrounding a mysterious area, which is the Governor's Palace.

Um? Why are you all looking at me? Have you never seen anyone who can walk?
Lynch looked around calmly, lifted his hat and waved to a few familiar faces.

In the yard beyond sight, the first thing he saw was a huge racecourse, and outside was an open grassland. In the industrialized city, Lynch's eyes were suddenly filled with green, and a few striped deer came from the fence. Li poked his head out and looked curiously at the passing carriages making yoyo noises.

"Why have you changed the rules, Jack?" A slightly higher voice came from the guests gathered at the door. "The carriage and the driver are not allowed in, and the servants have to wait in the car. This is too inconvenient."

He saw the real luxury of the Victorian era.

Seeing you unhappy makes me feel much better.

"How did that one get in, Jack?"

"Your Majesty the Viscount, that is Countess Hathaway. The other two cars that entered before were Count Lorende and Her Royal Highness Princess Chloe of the Kingdom of Salt. Later, the eldest daughter of the Valente family will also enter directly. They all entered through special channels. "Oh, that's good, that's good. I'm worried about affecting His Excellency the Duke's arrangements, hahaha."

Amidst laughter, Lynch successfully completed the entrance. He had asked Baron Bolvar before if he would like him to help keep an eye on suspicious people who brought strange objects at the door, but the Baron just laughed and said nothing. .

So Lynch felt relieved and walked into the Duke's Mansion swaggering with his cane.

In the distance is the Duke's Palace, which is modeled after an ancient castle. It towers into the clouds, and a majestic sense of oppression hits our face. A small lake lies in front of the mansion, and a group of leisurely waterbirds float on the water, walking along the stone road that goes around the lake. , you can see about ten guests gathered in twos and threes in the empty field in front of the mansion, and a small band has begun to play. Lin Qi closed his eyes and listened for a while, then nodded silently.

Hmm, sounds good.

"Mr. Lynch Levyv."

Just when Lynch was standing outside the crowd in a daze, not knowing what to do there, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw the two figures of Count Lorende side by side.

"I was rude that night, Mr. Detective." Despite his aggressiveness when he first met Princess Chloe at the reception, the Earl smiled kindly on his chubby face, "I'm really sorry, we were too nervous and almost caused bad consequences. "

It would be false to say that he didn't take it to heart, but after experiencing so many things and facing countless dangers, and looking back at the experience at that time, Lin Qi suddenly felt calm and relaxed.

"It's all over, there's no need to mention it again." Lin Qi smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Where is your highness, Chloe? I have something to give to her."

"His Royal Highness took his friends to the backyard to watch the animal taming show."

"Huh? There's also an animal taming show?"

"Yes, the dance only starts in the evening, and His Excellency the Duke has prepared a lot of time-killing activities for everyone." The Fat Earl explained patiently, "If you are interested, you can go horse riding. Your Excellency the Duke has some very good purebred horses. , or go fishing at the lake, even if the fish are full, I have never caught one.”

"There is a concert in the front yard, and there is an animal training show in the back, and there are many free-range animals. If you want to get active, there is a fencing field and a shooting range in the back."

"In the mansion, you can admire His Excellency the Duke's collection. Hahaha, it's not the same appreciation as last time. You can taste wine, read books, and play cards. In fact, all activities have only one purpose in the end. If it's just for socializing and entertainment, stay at home. Enough."

No, I have absolutely no chance to run horses and fish at home. I can only eat horses and fish. And if you want to cause a murder, what about the shooting range?

After saying goodbye to Earl Lorende lightly, Lynch decided to let the poor horse and fish go for the time being and walked directly around the back of the castle.

Sure enough, a stage was set up in the backyard, and an animal taming performance was going on, using all the animals raised by the Duke's Palace. Looking at the tigers and bears on the stage, Lynch fell into deep confusion.

You rich people have nothing to do. Raise these things. No wonder there are so few rich people.

However, among the dozen or so people beside the stage, Lynch immediately spotted the petite figure of Princess Chloe, who was applauding reservedly. When she saw Lynch walking towards her, he politely lifted up his skirt and bowed deeply.

But when Lynch's eyes turned to her side, his eyes almost went straight.

Damn it, why did you bring this guy here?

Next to Princess Chloe stood a figure that was smaller than her.

Young Deep Diver, Alice.
