Baili Xin and Lin Xiao followed Ghana into a pub that was still open.
The tavern owner was smiling as he looked up from behind the counter to greet customers, and at first sight he saw a man with a cold temperament and an expressionless face.
The boss' smile froze on his face, and he cursed in his heart: Are you here to cause trouble? Your stinky face looks like you are going to cause trouble.
Garner's face was even stiffer than the boss's. He threw a heavy bag of money on the table with a paralyzed face and said, "Open three rooms."
The boss was about to open the purse with some doubt, but was immediately blinded by the bright gold inside.
The frozen face immediately turned into the sun in June, as bright as it could be: "Yes, yes, yes, three upper rooms, are they OK for you, guest?"
This bag of money is enough for him to run a pub for two years. Not to mention that the other party wants to cause trouble tonight, even if they smash his shop, it will be no problem.
If you smash it, you might even get more compensation.
In just a few seconds, the tavern owner had already decided where to locate his next store in a prestigious and valuable area.
The blond man hurriedly said, "Stop talking nonsense and get me a room!"
I'm going to my room to vent my emotions, I can't hold it in any longer!
The hotel owner hurriedly found three keys and handed them to them, rubbing his hands and saying flatteringly, "They are in the three rooms at the left end of the third floor. Do you need me to take you there?"
Garner snatched the key and stuffed the other two into Baili Xin and Lin Xiao's hands. He turned around and went upstairs without paying any attention to the hotel owner. He was very fast, as if his butt was on fire, and disappeared at the end of the stairs in the blink of an eye.
Baili Xin and Lin Xiao were not in a hurry. Lin Xiao was still holding the broken clock in his arms. He pointed at the clock and gave Baili Xin a questioning look.
As they walked, Baili Xin said, "Meet me in my room later."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay."
The hotel owner was stunned.
It's already twelve o'clock in the evening, and you're still going to another man's room
And the man who looked like he was going to kill someone...
The hotel owner suddenly imagined a bloody family ethics drama in his mind.
Could one of these two people be the blond man's lover? The blond man was caught cheating, which is why his face was so dark.
My god, these two are so bold.
He dared to disobey his wife in front of her, no wonder the blond man's face was so dark.
Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful.
Ghana opened the door in a hurry, rushed in and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, he buried himself in the quilt without even taking off his shoes, and howled loudly twice while covering his face with the quilt: "Ah!!! Ah!!!"
There is no sound insulation at all in this kind of pub.
The hotel owner heard the vague wailing and sighed silently.
Oh, look how angry the child has become. He has gone crazy.
Ghana vented several times before he poked his head out from under the quilt. After taking a few deep breaths, he regained his aristocratic and polite expression.
who I am
The Marquis of Ghana, the most popular young man of the new generation in the empire, the object of acquaintance of countless noble ladies.
I am a very elegant man, how could I lose my aristocratic manners
I'm not scared. I don't think the scene of the monster killing people is scary at all.
I'm just warming up my voice.
He took a deep breath, slowly swallowed the heart that had risen to his throat, and patted his cheek to calm himself down.
Okay, it's okay, everything for today is over.
Everything I saw today was a dream.
Tomorrow those monsters will leave and go back.
When the day breaks everything will return to normal.
Okay, take some sleep.
His pounding heart finally calmed down. Ghana exhaled heavily, stood up, began to take off his clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower and relax.
The high-end white tuxedo had just been thrown on the bed when there was an inopportune "bang bang bang" sound outside.
Garner stopped his hand and looked at the place where the sound came from with his face, which had just been calm, as if he had seen a ghost.
Outside the window with the curtains drawn tightly, there were knocking sounds one after another, tirelessly.
Ghana:"… "
This is the third floor! The third floor! It's ten meters high, rounded up. You better understand some scientific knowledge, okay? !
The knocking sounds outside were persistent, and even began to show signs of impatience because there was no response for a long time.
Garner even heard the sound he least wanted to hear.
"Baili Xin, let me in, Baili Xin! Open the window for me!"
Ghana hesitated for a while, but finally walked to the window and mustered up the courage to open the curtains.
Two huge figures, one black and one white, were only separated from him by a window. They were close to him, one on the left and one on the right. Because the force of squeezing forward was too great, their already terrifying faces were squeezed and deformed, and the picture was full of impact.
Although Ghana had made sufficient mental preparations, he still couldn't help but take a breath.
He felt that all his efforts just now were in vain.
In the middle of the black and white scarecrows, a small black furry creature was banging on the glass vigorously, shouting, "Hey, why is this your room? I thought it was Baili Xin's room. Where is Baili Xin? You little brat, open the window for us and let us in. I'm almost being squeezed to death by the two of them."
Ghana:"… "
If it's really possible, please run away and kill each other, okay? If you keep attacking me, are you still human
They don't seem to be human...
Garner opened the window and angrily said, "You can kill people easily, so why can't you destroy the window? Can't you just break in?"
Why be polite and humble at this time
The black and white scarecrow can't speak, only the little black-haired monster can speak.
However, as quiet as the black and white scarecrow is, the black-haired little monster is as noisy.
It roared in shock, "Do you think we don't want to? It's all because of Baili Xin. He won't let us destroy any property. If we want to enter, we can only knock gently on the door of the master's room."
Ghana:
You call the knock on the window just now "gentle"
I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about gentleness
He didn't want to talk any more with these three monsters who were not human. He just wanted to send these three plague gods away quickly and get himself out of this weird incident, so he said, "Baili Xin is next door. I'll take you there."
By the way, let you barbaric monsters who don’t know etiquette have a good look at what “gentle” means!
Garner walked to the next room and knocked on the door. Within two seconds, the door opened from the inside.
It was Baili Xin who opened the door.
He changed into a pair of slippers and looked lazy.
Ghana simply couldn't connect the harmless and pretty beauty in front of him with the ruthless and murderous man not long ago.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
Baili Xin seemed to have expected them to be the ones. He just glanced at them lazily, left the door open and turned to walk inside. "Be the last one to close the door."
The black scarecrow at the back obediently closed the door, and then he and the white scarecrow huddled together at the door to become two real scarecrows, with no intention of coming in. They were even trembling.
Ghana:…
It is true that there is always something that can defeat something else.
Garner looked at the door blocked by the two monsters with some embarrassment, and said tentatively: "Well, Bailixin, the three of them walked into the wrong room. I just brought them to you. Now my mission is completed. You can talk about any secrets you want to talk about. I will go back to rest first."
After saying that, he pointed at the two door god monsters at the door and hoped that Baili Xin would ask them to make way.
Baili Xin patted the sofa beside him indifferently and said, "Come and sit down. We are on the same rope now. There is no secret. Don't be polite to me."
Ghana:"… "
Please, let me be polite. I have made enough mistakes tonight. If I make more mistakes, my whole family will be implicated.
Baili Xin: "We still need you for something. We were planning to go to the next door to find you. Now that you come here by yourself, it saves me the trouble. Mr. Garner, come and sit down."
Garner's expression was tangled for a moment, and finally he walked over to Baili Xin and sat down obediently: "."
Aren't I just a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth
The little black-haired monster had already flown into Baili Xin's arms, and with its butt sticking out, it used its skinny little claws to take the clock monster, which was still breathing, from Lin Xiao's arms.
The clock monster shook in the black-haired little monster's hand, and the sharp tip of the pointer scratched on the dial, making familiar "click" and "click" sounds.
Garner had never been to the third floor, but he had heard the sound.
Isn't this the same "click" sound they heard on the second floor
Garner's eyes widened.
The "click" monster is actually a clock
What’s even more terrifying is that Baili Xin and the others actually brought “Kada” out with them
Is this considered kidnapping
Ghana was a little unsure for a moment.
The black-haired little monster used his claws to knock on the already tattered dial, and his voice was filled with skilled threats: "Hey, little brat, tell us honestly who ordered you to do this. If you dare to mess with your master Black Hair, I will make sure you can't get along in the monster circle anymore!"
The three poor pointers vibrated violently, and the frequency of "click" and "click" gradually increased, making Ghana's ears hurt.
The little black-haired monster seemed to understand and kept nodding in agreement.
It was not until the three pointers stopped shaking that the black-haired little monster spoke: "It said that its owner is Henry Ibrahimovic. Do you know who this person is?"
When Baili Xin heard the name, he immediately looked at Lin Xiao. Baili Xin took out the small notebook that Lin Xiao had given him before from his pocket and opened the front page to the characters. After flipping through a few pages, he stopped and his hand fell on a person's name exactly.
Henry Ibrahimovic.
The four businessmen who came to the museum to visit and talk.
One of them was of some noble descent, Henry Ibb.
Garner was also surprised when he heard the name, "Henry Ibrahimovic? How could it be him?"
Baili Xin looked at Garner: "I knew you were more familiar with the people here, so I asked you to come over. Who is Henry Ibrahimovic?"
"I'm not familiar with him," Garner lowered his eyebrows and recalled seriously, "Unlike our Garner family who are deeply favored by the queen, the Ibrahimovic family is a marginal noble family. Although they still have the title of nobility, they are not involved in court activities. The queen usually doesn't summon them, and she doesn't give them any rewards. But the Ibrahimovic family runs a good travel company, and their business is booming, and they live a comfortable life materially."
“No reason.”
"Although the Ibrahimovic family is not favored by the Queen, they have always been humble and polite. Especially Henry Ibrahimovic, who you mentioned, is the most promising successor of their generation and has a bright future. There is no reason for him to steal the Sun's Kiss."
"Whether there is a reason or not, we'll know when we confront him. Since you know Henry Ibrahimovic, you should take us there."
Garner was shocked. "I took you there? Wouldn't that just be admitting that I broke into the museum at night? Am I trying to save my life?"
"Besides, don't you see what time it is now? It's early morning! If we go there at this time, before we even see Henry Ibrahimovic, we'll be kicked out by their housekeeper as if we were crazy, okay?"
Lin Xiao said with a straight face, "Then tomorrow morning, no later than that."
Garner: "You really don't treat me as an outsider."
You are treating me like a servant!
Lin Xiao said as a matter of course: "Didn't Baili Xin say that? We even share our private secrets, so of course we are not friends with outsiders."
Ghana's eyelids twitched: "."
I don't want to share secrets with you! You guys are the ones who got me into this trap!
"Let me make it clear first. You are not allowed to talk nonsense tomorrow. I will do the talking." Although being led by the nose was a foregone conclusion, Garner still tried to reduce his risk. "I will say that I met you on the road and we did not meet in the museum. I am just a kind guide. I have nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
Baili Xin: "It shouldn't be possible."
Garner: “What?”
Baili Xin: "The three of us entered the museum together, and stayed together in the museum for the whole day. It's impossible for us to pretend that we don't know each other. Or we want to learn more about the case at that time, so please take us there, and there's no need to say anything else."
Garner thought this was a better option, so he didn't argue: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Ghana slept in fear and had nightmares all night.
I dreamed that I accidentally angered Baili Xin and was killed by Baili Xin.
After waking up from the shock, I fell asleep again and had a dream. I dreamed that I had angered a small black-haired monster and was killed by it.
I woke up in fright and fell asleep again.
I dreamed that I had offended a black and white scarecrow, and was stabbed into the wall by the scarecrow's pitchfork and died again.
Ghana was frightened awake and threw the quilt aside in anger. He simply sat on the sofa with his eyes open until dawn.
By daybreak, two big dark circles had appeared under his eyelids.
The three of them went downstairs early in the morning. It was very early and there were only a few people sitting at the tables in the pub eating breakfast.
As soon as he saw them coming down, the tavern owner came up to them and said, "Three guests, you woke up so early, why didn't you sleep a little longer? Would you like to have breakfast? Our tavern's breakfast is delicious."
Ghana subconsciously looked at Baili Xin.
Baili Xin: "Eat something. You didn't eat well yesterday. You will be exhausted if you continue like this."
Garner retracted his gaze: "Then eat something."
The three of them sat down and ordered several breakfast items.
After a while, hot breakfast was served on their table.
Just as Garner was about to eat, a cup of hot cheese and mushroom soup was brought to him.
Garner looked at the boss in confusion, "I didn't order this, was it the wrong order?"
The boss's eyes were gentle, even with a hint of pity. "You're right. It's for you, kid. Mushroom soup is warm in nature and can cure dark circles under your eyes."
He said earnestly: "Drink more. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
"It's free, no money required, it's a gift to you."
After saying that, the boss sighed, shook his head and left.
Garner didn't understand why, but still took a few sips of the mushroom soup.
After paying the bill and leaving, the three of them took Ghana's car to the gate of Ibrahimovic's house. It was already eight o'clock in the morning of the fifth day.
The game deadline is 11 o'clock at night, and there are still fifteen hours until the end of the copy.
Garner's facial recognition was quite useful. He honked the horn a few times, and the butler came over to open the door for him and let him in. "Marquis Garner, what brings you here? Aren't you with Her Majesty the Queen?"
Garner also laughed along, "I just went to the palace to see Her Majesty the Queen a few days ago. She was very kind and praised the Ibrahimovic family during afternoon tea, saying that your family has produced a capable successor. So, I came here specially to see Henry Ibrahimovic. Is he at home? Am I not being rude?"
The housekeeper smiled and said, "You came at the right time. The young master is reading in the study now. But if you had come an hour later, the young master would have been out."
He glanced at the two people following behind Ghana. They were wearing ordinary servants' clothes and were obviously Ghana's followers.
The butler, who was observant of the others' expressions, did not ask any further questions. He took the three people into the reception room and went to find Henry Ibrahimovic himself.
Ghana sat on the sofa, with Baili Xin and Lin Xiao standing on his left and right.
He was under a lot of pressure at this time and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
After sitting for a while, Henry Ibrahimovic pushed the door open.
He was wearing a very polite suit.
Clothes, when she walked in, there was still some excitement in her eyes.
After the butler prepared the tea, he left the room, leaving only Henry Ibrahimovic and Garner in the reception room.
Garner was a little nervous at first.
There were twenty of them who were considered suspects at the time, and Henry had seen the faces of Baili Xin and Lin Xiao. He was afraid that Henry would see through Baili Xin and Lin Xiao as the other two suspects as soon as he looked up.
But Henry only glanced at Baili Xin and the other man, and then focused all his attention on Ghana, "Marquis Ghana, your presence is a great honor to our Ibrahimovic family."
Garner was a little puzzled.
It was unclear whether Henry's acting skills were too good, and he pretended not to know Baili Xin and Lin Xiao, or whether Baili Xin and Lin Xiao used some strange things to cover up their true appearance.
He pretended to know nothing, straightened his face and said, "Baron Henry, as you know, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to work as a doctor in prison. I am a bit busy and have gradually reduced my social interactions with people of my age. I came to see you today, not just today, but I will come to see you often in the future. I hope Mr. Henry will not find me annoying."
Henry Ibrahimovic's face flashed with joy: "Why would I be annoyed? I'm so happy that you can come."
Both of them are smart people. They talk back and forth without any flaws.
Garner: "I just heard from the housekeeper that you are going out at nine o'clock. Where are you going?"
Henry: "Just going to meet someone."
Garner looked at Henry's clothes and asked, "He looks like an important person?"
Henry nodded: "Yes, it's very important. This is someone who can change my life."
Garner hesitated for two seconds: "Is it your lover?"
Henry blushed. "I don't dare to have such unreasonable thoughts. But if the other party is willing, I would feel honored."
Garner: "So you have a one-sided love for him?"
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, Henry Ibrahimovic, you are such a smart person, are you planning to be a love licker?"
Henry put away his shyness this time and said seriously: "Please be careful with your words, Marquis of Garner. Even you cannot insult that person like this."
Garner knew that he had said something wrong and that Henry would not listen to him at all, so he had no choice but to apologize.
The topic was getting a bit out of place, and Ghana looked at Baili Xin behind him for help.
"I just heard the butler mention that you just told him that Her Majesty the Queen once praised me? What did she say?" At this time, Henry asked this question.
Garner thought to himself, how do I know how the Queen praised you? I just made it up, but I still smiled and didn't reveal any flaws. "Henry, you are making it difficult for me. I am already sorry for the Queen's kindness by coming here to tell you that the Queen praised you. If I tell you exactly what she said, and one day in the future, when this sentence reaches the Queen's ears, I don't know how Her Majesty will guess me."
"But I can still give you a vague hint. The Queen was full of praise for you when she mentioned you. She was very satisfied. I think it won't be long before you take my place."
Henry's eyes showed his joy. "How could that be? I am just a lowly and declining nobleman. How can I be compared with the Marquis of Garner? But I still want to thank you for telling me this. I also ask the Marquis of Garner to say a few good words to Her Majesty the Queen and express my most ardent loyalty to her."
"The Ibrahimovic family will always stand by Her Majesty the Queen. As long as the Queen calls us, our family will definitely do our best."
Garner nodded in response: "That's for sure."
"Baron Henry," said Baili Xin, who had been silent behind him, "someone caused a big disturbance in the museum last night. I heard that a terrifying monster appeared in the museum, scaring away all the people who were on duty in the museum. The museum didn't calm down until the palace guards came."
"I don't know if you've heard about this."
Henry looked up at Baili Xin, and then looked at Garner with a puzzled look: "Who is he? Marquis Garner, what exactly do you want to see me about?"
Baili Xin held his head high and said, "Baron Henry, I am a member of the Queen's personal guards. I was sent by Her Majesty to assist the Marquis of Ghana in re-investigating the theft of the Sun's Kiss."
Ghana:
Wow, you’re even better at fooling people than me
But didn't you say it wouldn't be exposed? You even brought out Her Majesty the Queen's personal guards. Are you sure Henry doesn't dare to confront the Queen face to face? !
Henry's smiling face was replaced by one full of caution and alertness. "Hasn't it been investigated? Why is it still being investigated? Does Her Majesty suspect that I have something to do with the commotion at the museum last night?"
"No," Baili Xin shook his head instead, "Her Majesty the Queen did not suspect you, this was just a routine matter. Not only you, but other suspects were also re-examined at the time."
"As for the reason for the investigation..." He paused, "Her Majesty the Queen only asked us to tell you, so please keep it confidential."
"In fact, during the chaos of last night, the Sun Kiss was returned."
Henry looked shocked, as if he had seen a ghost: “What did you say?”
Ghana also looked at Bailixin:…
Yeah, what are you talking about
When will the Sun Kiss be returned, liar!
Baili Xin: "Perhaps you didn't hear clearly, so let me say it again. The Sun Kiss has been returned, Mr. Henry. Her Majesty the Queen wants you to think again whether there was anything suspicious that you didn't think of at the time."
"This man's behavior has angered Her Majesty the Queen. She cannot tolerate someone using the Sun Kiss to play tricks on the dignity of the great imperial family."
Henry sat stiffly on the sofa with a very subtle expression.
There was shock, hesitation, and disbelief.
His eyes glanced towards the door from time to time, as if he was eager to leave here and go somewhere.
