"Would you like to think about it again?"
Kirk guided Herman to think more deeply.
After thinking it through, Hermann discovered that the case in front of him was like a maze with no end, and he and Eugene were deeply trapped in it.
Then Hermann covered his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I understand, thank you, dear," Hermann said softly.
At this time, Hermann was extremely envious of his brother who could still lie drunkenly on the lap of a beautiful woman and sleep soundly after getting into trouble.
"This is truly the pinnacle of hedonism," Hermann thought.
That piece of black gold land, like a black hole in the abyss, gradually pulled Herman and Eugene into the struggle between various factions.
The French chef today must be the first victim behind this black gold.
Hermann seemed to have seen the bloody storm coming, but he had no choice but to carry it all the way with his brother.
In fact, as early as when Bron mentioned the military assassination technique, the clever Kirk had already made some guesses. Until later when Shozaf reminded him that curiosity would kill the cat, Kirk had already roughly grasped the ins and outs behind the matter.
Kirk said to Herman at this time,
"No matter what, the child and I will always stay by your side."
Hermann felt warm in his heart and gently kissed Kirk on the face.
"Let's go, let's forget about this for now. We need to make sure the banquet goes smoothly. I wonder if Big Brother is sober now?"
Herman said.
Then the two of them returned to the banquet hall hand in hand. Most of the guests had left, and the only ones left were the drunkards and the affectionate young couple in the corner.
Herman said loudly, "Everyone, Herman once again thanks everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this banquet. I hereby officially declare the banquet over. If you need a place to stay, you can ask Butler Baird to arrange a temporary room for you."
Baird, who was old but dressed in a neat suit, bowed to Hermann on the stairs, stretched out his right hand in a white glove and placed it on his chest, saying, "Dignitaries who want to leave by carriage can also find me. Old slave Baird is happy to serve you."
Herman breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It's great to have an experienced butler like Baird."
Herman glanced at the empty sofa and realized that Eugene should go back to his room to rest.
As Kirk and I walked up the stairs, Baird spoke as we passed by him.
"Mr. Hermann, Mr. Frederick from the concert hall has gone back on his own. He wants to have dinner with you next Tuesday. I have agreed to it on your behalf."
Baird prompted.
"Oh, that's very thoughtful, Baird." Kirk looked at Baird in surprise.
Baird bowed to Kirk and said, "I noticed that you two were having a good chat with Mr. Frederick. It was my idea, so please don't blame me, Mr. or Mrs. Frederick."
"How could that be? This is a very good thing. It seems that Brother Eugene made the right choice for once." Hermann responded.
Hermann personally enjoyed chatting with Frederick very much, and Frederick also mentioned that he would introduce more contacts to Hermann in the future, which made Hermann have a very good impression of Frederick.
Kirk said to Baird at this time,
"Mr. Baird, there is something I want you to keep secret."
"I'd like to hear the details." Baird replied respectfully.
"A sad thing happened in the kitchen. The skilled chef from the French country passed away. The head of the Public Security Bureau, Mr. Xiao Zhafu, and his men are investigating in the kitchen now. I'll have to trouble Butler Baird to do the follow-up work later. In addition, the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Herman said helplessly.
"I understand. Leave it to me. It's getting late. You two should go and rest." Baird responded.
Upon hearing this, Hermann and Kirk went upstairs to rest.
Naturally, Xiao Zhafu would investigate the matters in the kitchen, and Baird would cooperate with Xiao Zhafu to clean up the kitchen.
As I passed by Eugene's door, I heard Eugene yelling and shouting from inside, making people blush.
"Hey, don't run, little darling. Ha, I got you."
"Oh my god, there it is. Oh, it feels so good."
Just listening to the noise in the room was enough to make people imagine a lot, but Kirk smiled and opened the door of Hermann who was about to continue listening.
"Let's go, let's go. Your eldest brother is not a child anymore. It's time for him to find a good girl to marry."
Kirk said with a smile.
"Well, let him go." Hermann nodded.
The two returned to their room and saw the sleeping baby Albert. Kirk smiled happily.
Herman took off his clothes and lay down on the bed to rest, but Kirk suddenly turned to Herman and said,
"Hermann."
"Um?"
"I want to give Albert a brother."
"What? Ugh."
"Right now."
——
After a night, Hermann was intoxicated by the gentleness and could not extricate himself.
The next morning, Eugene sent away several ruddy-faced girls, and happened to meet Hermann who came out of the room with his hands on his hips.
"Backache?"
"Yeah. What about you?"
"Not only does my back ache, I also have a headache."
The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Hermann lit a cigarette, a rare occurrence, and handed it to Eugene.
The two of them leaned against the fence on the second floor, silent.
Hermann exhaled a puff of smoke and asked Eugene,
"Brother."
"Um?"
"You'd better get married as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"How long do you think our peaceful days will last?"
"have no idea."
"So, hurry up, huh?"
"If you harm someone, it will be a lifetime of suffering."
“…”
Kirk poked his head out from behind the door playfully, winking at the two and asking,
"What are you talking about?"
Hermann shook his head.
"nothing."
Eugene still didn't know about the accident that happened in the kitchen last night, and Hermann didn't know where to start.
While eating breakfast, Eugene inadvertently complained,
"Why is today's breakfast so bad?"
Herman and Kirk looked at each other and decided that it was necessary to let Eugene know about this matter.
Kirk said loudly,
"Baird, please take the servants out for a while."
Baird understood what they were going to discuss next, so he cleverly drove the servants out to give the masters time to chat.
As the butler, Baird already knew what happened last night.
Hermann said,
"Brother, just last night, the chef from the French country you hired passed away."
Eugene, who was chewing bread, was startled and the bread fell onto the plate, but he didn't react.
Hermann repeated it again.
"The French chef with superb cooking skills passed away last night in the kitchen."
"You're kidding me?" Eugene said with a stern face.
Herman stared at Eugene just as seriously, with sincerity in his eyes, and responded,
"I don't have to joke with you."
Eugene was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "I can't eat anymore."
Kirk comforted him, "You have to eat some. We have handed this matter over to the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, Mr. Xiao Zafu. You don't have to worry too much."
"It makes me uneasy to think that this food came out of that kitchen," Eugene said ruefully.
Eugene's nonsensical remarks must have shown that he did not understand the seriousness of the matter.
