People were still admiring the magnanimity and decisiveness of the two Einsta brothers, but the second chef in the kitchen ran into the hall with a panicked look on his face.
The second chef immediately saw Eugene, who was surrounded by women on the sofa. He looked drunk and obviously couldn't hear anything.
The second chef showed an anxious expression on his face. He turned around and walked to Hermann's side. He bowed to Hermann first, and then said in a serious tone,
"Mr. Hermann, I have something very important to tell you. Please come with me."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Hermann asked in surprise.
According to normal banquet rules, if something happened in the kitchen, it would definitely be the French chef who would show up.
Kirk noticed that the second chef seemed to be hiding something, so he pulled Herman's sleeve.
"You go ahead. I'll help you deal with this."
"Mr. Hermann, I'm so sorry. Originally, this matter should have been handed over to Mr. Eugene, but he is drunk now and obviously can't handle it. I have to trouble you."
The second chef first explained politely, then took Hermann to the back kitchen and said to Hermann in a low voice,
"Please be mentally prepared."
Herman was confused and had no idea what the second chef meant by psychological preparation, but at this time the young second chef said to himself,
"To be honest, I was also shocked. I came to you because I really had no other options."
The second chef pushed open the door of the back kitchen and saw the French chef lying on the chopping board, looking like he was asleep.
"The chef was already here when I came in," the second chef explained.
Everyone knows that no one would lie on the chopping board in the kitchen for no reason. Hermann was shocked and walked to the French chef. He stretched out his finger to feel the chef's breath.
There was still an expression of disbelief on the face of the French chef, and his hideous look and struggle before death were still vivid.
After confirming that the French chef had lost all signs of life, Hermann took a few steps back in fear and was about to trip over the bench behind him. Fortunately, the second chef reacted quickly and immediately held Hermann's arm.
This should have been a happy day, but who could have thought that a murder would happen in this kitchen.
Hermann couldn't accept this reality for a moment and felt as if his head was stuck. He supported his forehead with his right hand and supported his left hand on the table behind him.
Seeing this, the second chef poured a glass of water for Hermann and said, "Mr. Hermann, please calm down. You are the only one who can make the decision on this matter now. Drink some water and calm down."
In panic, Hermann drank the glass of water in big gulps. He accidentally choked and coughed several times, but this also woke him up from his panic.
"Hello, go and ask the head of the Public Security Bureau, Xiao Zhafu, to come to the banquet hall. No, I'll go and ask him myself. Help me."
Hermann said to the second chef.
The second chef helped Herman to the kitchen door. Herman said, "I'm better now. You stay here and don't let anyone else in."
The young second chef nodded, indicating that he would not let anyone in to destroy the scene.
Before entering the banquet hall, Hermann leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths. He organized the words he would use in a moment in his mind, and then pushed open the door of the banquet hall with a smile on his face.
Hermann greeted the guests as if nothing had happened. He knew in his heart that this matter must not be made public, otherwise it would become a scandal in society and people would use it to make fun of the Einstadt family.
Hermann saw Eugene snoring on the sofa with his head resting on the beautiful woman's legs, and he sighed.
Herman deliberately maintained his demeanor and etiquette at this time, but Kirk could not hide it from his eyes.
"Excuse me for a moment." Kirk leaned over and said to the guest next to him.
She walked over to Hermann, who was somewhat embarrassed, and asked softly,
"What's wrong? Is it serious?"
Herman whispered in Kirk's ear,
"It's very serious. The French chef is dead. His body is still in the kitchen."
Kirk suppressed her shock and silently took Herman's arm. She said softly,
"Then I'll go with you to deal with it."
Herman nodded, took Kirk to the side of the Sheriff's Chief Xiao Zafu, and said to Xiao Zafu who was drinking,
"Lord Xiaozafu, Hermann is here to ask for your help."
Xiao Zafu showed a hint of surprise and said to Hermann,
"I'd like to hear more about it."
Hermann asked straight to the point.
"I wonder if Lord Xiaozafu brought his subordinates with him today?"
Xiao Zhafu didn't understand, but he still answered honestly,
"I brought two of them, both of whom are good players in the bureau. What can I do for you?"
Kirk said to Shawzaf sincerely,
"Lord Xiaozafu, please excuse me for a moment."
After hearing this, Hermann stretched out his hand and guided Xiaozaf to the door. Xiaozaf winked at his two men, and the two men followed him.
Hermann first took out a small stack of gold marks from his sleeve, about a hundred marks in total, and handed it to Xiaozafu with a serious expression, and said,
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept this, sir."
Xiao Zhafu's face showed a hint of displeasure, frowned, and said to Hermann,
"Mr. Hermann, do you look down on us, the public servants?"
Hermann was in great trouble, but he didn't expect that his method of using money to pave the way would actually hit a wall.
I can only blame myself for not knowing Xiao Zhafu's character well and rashly testing him in this way. It was a really low-level mistake.
Herman was a little annoyed and didn't even know what to do. At this time, Kirk, as a good wife, pressed Herman's hand and immediately apologized in a proper manner.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Xiaozafu. This is a difficult matter to explain. This is the first time that my Herman has encountered such a thing. He lost his mind in a moment of anxiety. Please forgive me."
Shawzaf was somewhat impressed by Kirk's quick response, and responded,
"It's okay, just say it if you have something to say."
Hermann immediately understood Xiaozhafu's way of doing things, bowed to Xiaozhafu and apologized, saying,
"The thing is, my brother Eugene hired a French chef, but this chef was just found dead in the kitchen. This matter should have been handled by my brother, but you must have seen how drunk he was. Herman can only dare to ask you to come in person, but this matter... please keep it secret, after all, it will affect the reputation of the Einstar family."
Xiao Zhafu's face changed immediately after hearing this. He made a rough calculation in his mind and thought of the benefits that Hermann had not expected.
Xiao Zhafu looked at his two men, then lowered his voice and said seriously,
“Take me to the scene.”
