Du Dian glanced at Bai Nen Xiaochong, and said to the two: "If I were a murderer, I believe I would not be so stupid as to assassinate the deacon of the court with a steel nail just after being released on bail. Such an obvious sign, I think, is a certain Those who know the inside story have ulterior motives to frame me, after all, killing people with steel nails is too rare."
Hearing the "inside story" that Du Dian said, the old man and the middle-aged man glanced at each other. They naturally knew that this inside story refers to Du Dian's jailbreak incident. Although some nobles came forward to suppress this matter, they did a little investigation. It is known that Du Dian has indeed escaped from prison, and the evidence is solid, but since this matter has been covered up, they are unwilling to pursue it further. The main purpose this time is to find the murderer who assassinated Deacon Hollett.
Judging from the current blood test, it seems that Du Dian did not do it.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The middle-aged man yelled, and said, "Be honest, did you use this steel nail to kill other people before assassinating Deacon Hollett?"
Du Dian smiled bitterly and said: "This is really wronged. Although I have a festival with Deacon Hollett, I will not do such a crazy thing because of it. I have just been released on bail, and I don't want to cause any trouble."
The middle-aged man stared at him carefully, and after a while, exchanged eyes with the old man. Thoughtful, the old man waved his hand and said, "Check the others."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and immediately collected the blood of other people according to the previous method.
"After this "homologous worm" has eaten something, it takes twelve hours before it is willing to eat other different types of blood. You guys are temporarily put in prison and leave after the results come out. "The middle-aged man said indifferently.
The four people next to him looked at each other, and the young man couldn't help but said: "How can this be done, I'm just the object of suspicion, and you want to restrict my freedom?"
"Stop talking!" the middle-aged man shouted.
The young man's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
Du Dian said to the old man: "My account has been verified, can I go?"
The old man glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Remember your current bail status. If there are new results, please cooperate and be on call, otherwise you will be arrested on the charge of escape."
Du Dian nodded and said: "Of course, I also hope that you can catch the murderer earlier, and I want to see if it's just a coincidence, or who wants to frame me."
The old man nodded slightly, and said to the middle-aged man next to him: "This case does not look like an ordinary person's work. Later, you can apply to the headquarters and send a 'punisher' to investigate."
The middle-aged man looked cold, nodded and said: "I see."
Instructed a trial guard to take Du Dian away, and the other four were also brought into a special detention room. The old man told the middle-aged man: "Go and investigate the recent death cases immediately, and look at the blood on the bodies of the deceased. , is it the same as the one on the steel nail?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
…
…
When he came back, without the escort of the trial knight, Du Dian could only hire a carriage by himself and return to the small town of Yard.
Barton and the others were very pleasantly surprised when they saw Du Di'an returned safely, and they stepped forward to ask questions.
Du Dian briefly talked to the three of them, reassuring the three of them, and then came to Lane Castle in a carriage.
This time it was an open and honest visit, entering from the main entrance, and entering the Ryan Castle after being notified by the guards at the gate.
The old patriarch Flynn was sitting in the hall waiting. When he saw Du Dian being introduced by the guards, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face was full of smiles. He stepped forward and said, "Welcome, welcome, what a rare visitor. There have been no hunters in Lane Castle for many years." I came to visit, please sit down."
There was also a young man and a young girl in the hall. Judging from their brightly colored attires, they should be the grandchildren of Mr. Fulin. When the two heard this, they couldn't help showing a little joy on their faces. They knew that hunters meant a lot of wealth and money!
"Hello, my name is Hughton!" The young man hurried forward to shake hands with Du Dian.
Du Dian briefly shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I'm here this time to talk to the old patriarch Fulin about cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Hughton was a little surprised when he heard the word.
Although the Ryan family is a part of the Mellon Consortium, there are many nobles under the Mellon Consortium, and the share of the commission is distributed according to the proportion of the shares. Then, the two main founders of the Mel family and the Bron family in the consortium will take the bulk, and the remaining small part will be distributed to these small declining families.
In the entire Mellon consortium, the Ryan family belongs to the bottom of the group, so the money allocated to them is almost very little, unless the hunters of the consortium have a huge harvest outside the wall, they can earn money. last sum.
However, if a hunter works for their family alone, the resources hunted from outside the wall only need to remove the income from the Holy See and the hunter himself, and the rest will belong to their family. Although a single hunter cannot support a noble, but for the Ryan family, it can improve the living conditions of the family a lot, and over the years, they can slowly accumulate a fortune.
"Master Hunter, you are so young." The girl next to her looked at Du Dian in surprise.
Hugh quickly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense."
The girl stuck out her tongue, and retreated behind him.
The old patriarch Fulin smiled slightly and said to Du Dian: "Mr. Du, please follow me." He called the middle-aged maid next to him to help him, and led the way with a cane.
Du Dian followed him and went upstairs to his study.
After entering the house, the old patriarch Fulin ordered the middle-aged maid to retreat and closed the door.
There were only two people left in the room, and the smiles on the faces of Du Dian and the old patriarch Fulin subsided slightly. The old patriarch Fulin sat on his chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and said to Du Dian: "I was surprised that you were taken to the court for investigation today, and you came back safely."
Du Dian smiled lightly, pulled a chair and sat down casually, and said: "If you can't find any evidence, you have to let me go naturally."
The old patriarch Fulin narrowed his eyes and said: "Isn't the steel nail that killed Hollett evidence? Didn't the court find anything from it?"
Du Dian looked at him with interest, and said, "Do you mean the blood on the steel nails, or the smell?"
The old patriarch Fulin moved his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Du Dian said with a smile: "Do you also think that I assassinated Hollet with steel nails for revenge?"
The old patriarch Fulin was slightly stunned, "Isn't it?"
Du Dian smiled and said: "I won't talk about this matter today. When I need your help, I will find you. I am here this time to really talk about cooperation with you."
"Oh?" The old patriarch Fulin opened his eyes slightly and said, "What cooperation?"
Du Dian said with a smile: "In the name of your Ryan family, create a new consortium."
