At this moment, a faint voice came from the depths of the black mist.
Although the sound was not loud, people still heard this faint sound due to the quiet hall.
Immediately, everyone's attention shifted to the direction of the sound coming from the black fog.
His eyes didn't dare to move for a second.
Everyone is nervous about the changes in front of them. To them, the black mist summoned by Ronald is an unfathomable and absolute unknown.
Is the man in front of me going to control the technique to make any new moves?
——This is what almost everyone is thinking about.
Only Ronald, who understood everything, raised his eyebrows and sighed quietly to himself:
"Tsk——"
"Pity......"
So, Ronald felt a little regretful.
Hansen didn't even have time to activate his own spell.
The sound became clearer from far to near.
Pa-da-pa-da-
In the black mist behind Ronald, vague sounds gradually became two sets of distinctly rhythmic footsteps. The black mist surged into darkness, as if something was approaching them.
The scene was already eerily silent because of Ronald's questioning and Hansen's silence.
The sound of approaching footsteps at this moment was like a drumbeat announcing fate, beating in people's hearts.
Finally, under everyone's gaze.
In the direction of the footsteps in the black mist, the roiling black opened a passage, and out of it came the guard holding a lamp to open the way...
And Everton following behind him.
Yes, this businessman from the [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] finally came to this place at this very delicate moment.
Seeing the familiar figure in front of him, Hansen's body, which was still suppressed, instantly softened. Thanks to his excellent physical fitness, he was still supporting his posture, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to fall to his knees directly if he was so relaxed.
.
On the other side, after entering the hall shrouded in black mist.
Everton showed a completely different look from before.
Although he had only met this businessman a few times, Ronald could see the anger in his cold eyes.
Obviously, on the way from outside the manor.
The doorman has told Everton everything that goes on here.
"..."
Watching Caress Andu walk in here, Hansen naturally shouted loudly:
"Mr. Everton, you are finally here!"
"Let Ronald let us go. Kevin died in the office this morning. The current situation..."
"Hansen, shut up first." Everton suddenly interrupted Hansen's explanation. The businessman just looked at him with a cold expression, and then said simply, "I already understood the general situation when I came here.
No need for you to repeat it again."
Immediately, Everton turned to look at Ronald.
The coldness in the businessman's eyes disappeared almost instantly. With a very cautious tone, Everton said:
"I trust Mr. Ronald's judgment."
"Since you decided to let the guard inform me before entering the manor, you must have known about it. Please give me an explanation, Mr. Ronald."
It seems...
The next time I go to see this businessman.
If the other person happens to be eating, I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy the food with peace of mind like last time.
Watching Everton with respect and caution deep in his eyes.
Ronald clearly understood this.
The ability he has shown has caused this businessman to have a very drastic change in his view of himself.
After understanding the subtle changes in the positions of both parties, Ronald nodded slightly:
"Then Mr. Everton, out of my duty to my job, I will tell you everything I know."
"First of all, you also know that my technique involves human beings, so when I approached the exhibition this morning, I noticed in advance that the number of staff inside the venue was wrong. There was one less than usual."
"So, when I realized something was wrong, I immediately conducted some relatively covert tests on the manor. I immediately confirmed that someone was dead in the manor, so I notified the guard to go to Burrenwich to inform you."
"In order to ensure that nothing went wrong at the scene and to prevent the prisoners from escaping, I immediately subdued everyone and kept them here while controlling them."
"After all, it is necessary to maintain the status quo."
"..."
After listening to Ronald's explanation, Everton stood there with his head bowed in thought for a few seconds.
Then he raised his gaze and continued to confirm:
"Mr. Ronald, you can be sure that the prisoner did not escape."
"Or maybe there are betrayers among these guards?"
"Of course." Ronald nodded and said with confidence and certainty, "I guarantee that the murderer is definitely still here, and he is one of these people. As if I am worthy of the reward you gave me, I will not
Will deceive you about this."
"..."
After looking into Ronald's eyes for a few seconds, Everton nodded:
"Okay, I understand the beginning and end of the matter."
While talking, Everton walked up to the guards who were bound by the black mist.
While pacing back and forth in front of everyone following their positions, he also analyzed unabashedly:
"So, Mr. Kevin died in his office this morning."
"Then the murderer took away..."
Everton stopped for a few seconds, and then his tone changed:
"No...that's not right."
"He seldom comes into contact with our exhibits in his usual work. This does not mean that the unicorn's horn was taken away this morning. It is very likely that Kevin just wanted to check the exhibits this morning, and something happened.
It was an accident that led to his murder."
"Um......"
"Mr. Kevin has always done his job faithfully. It is really a pity."
Shaking his head and sighing, Everton then continued:
"So, the person who did this should admit it himself."
"If you take the initiative to return the things, I will at least let you leave here alive."
"Attention, I only remind you once."
"This is your last chance!"
As he spoke, Everton raised his right hand, spread out his fingers, and then closed them one by one to indicate the final countdown.
five four three two one......
There was silence in front of the businessman, with no one speaking.
There were more than a dozen guards bound by the black mist, but no one stepped forward at this moment.
——This is naturally understandable.
Of course, the innocent guards are unwilling and will not bear this kind of responsibility that does not belong to them.
Hansen is even simpler.
He really understands the conditions offered by this guy Everton. In fact, the businessman is just talking about it.
Even though Everton do stick to their word.
But the problem is that people can leave alive.
It does not mean that this person has walked out completely!
