Section 147 Search
In Jeff's stuttering narrative, Arod probably sorted out a scene, that is, the assassin's whole body is wrapped in a gray cloak
In the cloak, his face was covered with face and could not be seen at all, and Jeff saw Baron Valk heard the sound and ran to the iron fence, as if he had said a few words to the masked assassin. ()
"What did they say?" Arod asked Jeff immediately.
"I don't hear it very clearly, but Baron Valk seems to think that the assassin is here to save him." Jeff's words confirmed Arod's speculation. This was an action to eliminate witnesses. However, when Baron Valk and his son were assassinated, there was no reason for the sinner who was about to emerge.
"The assassin should still be in the castle, let the guards search." Arod looked at Jeff in disappointment. Although he was wondering why the assassin did not kill him together, he could not dig out any valuable information from Jeff's mouth, so he had to detain him again. He issued a search order to Ron.
The court guards who received the order picked up the long halberds in their hands and rushed into every room of the tower and the side building to search, asking if they had seen suspicious people. The guards gathered in the open space hurriedly avoided the hens who had been strolling around for insects to eat, and the chicken feathers on their bodies shook off the ground.
"Peng~~." Sean's wooden door was pushed open, and two men were sewn with cloth, filled with various wool and cotton wool, and sewn into small pieces of lattice. This was a thick cloth armor that could be chopped. The palace guards wearing thick cloth armor and wide edges of the dome broke in.
"In the name of Lord Gong Xiang, we will search your servants in the room." After the palace guard broke in, he announced to Sean.
"Of course, as the entourage of the Palace Prime Minister, I obey the orders." Sean quickly stood up, opened his hands and leaned against the wall, and said to the palace guards.
"What? You are the entourage of the Prime Minister." The two palace guards looked at each other, then looked at Shaun with harmless faces. Although they thought Shaun could not be an assassin, the older court guards still looked around with their teeth. The room was not big, except for a dilapidated cabinet, a wooden bed covered with hay, with a basket hanging in the center of the room. Some dried fruits were placed inside. It was really simple and consistent with the identity of the entourage.
"Nothing was found?" The younger court guard bent down and opened the wooden cabinet. There was nothing inside. Then he looked around.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, the older palace guard accidentally saw Shawn's gaze passing by the wooden bed. He couldn't help but move. He pointed to the wooden bed and asked Shawn, "What's on the wooden bed?"
"Hay." Sean shrugged his shoulders and said in a faint voice.
"Huh?" The older palace guards frowned, and the three palace guards were killed in the dungeon. This made them, who were also palace guards, immediately alert. At this time, no one except those noble nobles and court officials were suspected.
"What's wrong, is there any problem?" Although the other court guard felt that his companion was a little sensitive, he still held the long halberd in his hand tightly. The three of them actually seemed crowded in this narrow room.
"I want to check this wooden bed." The older court guard stepped forward, uncovered the quilt on the wooden bed, poked the long halberd in his hand into the haystack, but no discoveries were found.
"Cough~~." The fibers in the haystacks fluttered, causing the people in the room to cough, but the more serious palace guard put down the long halberd in his hand, knelt on the ground with one knee, and grabbed the edge of the wooden bed with both hands.
"Believe me, I have seen a thief tied the stolen goods to the bottom of the wooden bed." The older court guard said, lifting the wooden bed with his arms. Sean's expression did not change at all, but his hands were clenched unconsciously, but this small change was not discovered by the younger court guards.
"Did you find something?"
"Oh, damn, I seem to be suspicious." As a result, the bottom of the wooden bed that was opened was empty, and nothing was found at all. The older court guard put down the wooden bed dejectedly.
"Haha, I'll tell you how it is possible." His companion said mockingly, and a relaxed smile appeared on Sean's face, and at this moment, the shouts of the palace guards rang out of the corridor outside the door.
"What happened?" Two palace guards quickly grabbed the long spear in their hands and rushed out, not caring about Sean in the room. After they left, Sean was leisurely reorganizing the messed-up wooden bed. He listened to the noisy sounds in the corridor.
"I found a weapon in the room of a follower, and there were bloodstains on it."
"No, it's not me, you're wrong."
"Catch him, grab him."
“Ah~~~.”
"This guy said he was a follower of Lord Gong Xiang or a nobleman."
"Really? Lord, anything can happen, it's terrible."
"Hmph." Sean smiled sly on the corner of his mouth. He rolled up his sleeves and there was a scar. It was the gift that the noble child with the shaved pot cover left to him with a wooden sword last night. Last night he also left some gifts to the other party.
"So the murderer caught him?" Aruod listened to Ron's report and did not expect to capture the assassin so quickly. However, looking at Ron's desire to speak, it seemed as if there was something unspeakable.
"Tell me, who is the murderer?" Aruod asked.
"Yes, it's one of your followers." Ron stood in front of Arod and said in embarrassment. An assassin who assassinated Baron Valk and his son was actually involved with Arod. If other nobles knew about this, they would have thought a lot.
"My entourage, hiss~~~." Aruod's brow frowned. How could he frame his head? It seems that this assassin's success is not true.
