"It's not impossible. Although it was claimed that the mediating force did not engage in firefights with the Grand Duke's army. After all, it was just a 'dispute', the emperor's troops did not have such a great deterrent effect. After assisting Anlun, who was at a disadvantage,
Only after the Duke's Army regained several fortresses did the Duke of Hohenlohe and the Duke of Eastmonton agree to sit on the negotiation table. Therefore, the troops that Wilson Swift served may really have some differences with the troops of other grand dukes.
"
"Your United Empire is really... falling apart." Leon couldn't help but complain, this Grand Duke is a complete warlord.
I feel that the "United Empire" is more like the United Nations in the previous life. It has very little restraint on the Grand Duke, and the Emperor has to have a big fist to speak for it to be effective.
"In short, investigating who Wilson has fought with in the team he served in may be a clue." Wein paused, "In addition, if the murderer's revenge target is not only Wilson, but also other people, then they must be protected.
"
Liang nodded: "Indeed, the premise is that our thinking is correct."
If the murderer was not a veteran who had issues with Wilson during his military career, then everything they speculated would be out of the question.
Leon wanted to analyze further, but he saw Wein grabbing the phone and operating it again.
"What are you doing?"
"Report our current conclusions to that Miss Zoe."
"Isn't this... a bit too hasty? Aren't we just making assumptions based on a footprint?" Liang felt a little inappropriate. It felt like he had written an introduction to his paper and sent it to the teacher.
"We are external staff, we do auxiliary work, and we have to report our investigation results in a timely manner. On the one hand, we let the Su Zheng Bureau know that we are indeed working, and on the other hand, we also let the Su Zheng Bureau measure the value of our investigation and decide
The amount of resources invested. Just working hard is not what a qualified consultant should do." Wein put the phone back into his pocket and said, "Let's go have lunch."
Liang was shocked: "Isn't your turn a bit too sudden?"
"Suddenly? I don't think so." Wei Yin took out the gray silver pocket watch and took a look, "It is now 11:53. Eating is a necessary behavior for human beings to maintain life activities. Due to the call from the official this morning, I drank
I rushed here with you after half a cup of coffee, but did not complete this activity, which resulted in my current energy and energy not being able to maintain a good level - in other words, I am hungry."
"...Okay." Leon rolled his eyes.
This guy is amazing for being able to talk about being hungry in such a long way.
But in the final analysis, the boss is Wein, not him, so even if he feels that Wein's work attitude is too fishy, Leon can't say anything and can only follow the boss out of the Kalenkaya Mansion and go to a nearby restaurant.
…
Crystal clear crystal lamps, polished solid wood tables and chairs, neatly dressed waiters, classical music playing softly in the air... These were very common in Western restaurants in previous lives, but in this world, they can satisfy the above requirements.
It must be a high-end restaurant.
Almost all the double seats around are men and women. It is quite a rare scene for two grown men like Leon and Wayne to sit opposite each other at a dining table decorated with roses. When the waiter helped the two people to sit down,
I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Wei Yin was naturally indifferent to this weird atmosphere, and Liang didn't feel much about it. In his previous life, he and Lao Zhang pretended to be a couple to dine in order to get a 55% off couple's coupon from a crayfish restaurant.
The restaurant owner testified in front of him that Liang's face was still stained by Lao Zhang's saliva, and his integrity had long since been lost.
Liang swallowed the beef in his mouth and looked at Wein across from him: "What combination are you talking about?"
"Huh? What kind of combination can there be? It's normal."
Wine held a gorgeous crystal goblet in his left hand very elegantly. Purple liquid was rippling in the glass. It was the most expensive wine sold in this restaurant. Just one sip could cost an average person's entire family a month.
income.
And his right hand... was holding a piece of pizza very casually - to be precise, this kind of food is called "Pierz", which is a food that looks like pizza and tastes like pizza, so Leon directly
Think of it as pizza.
Although pizza was not uncommon in Western restaurants in his previous life, in this world, Leon learned that pizza was positioned similar to food such as sesame seed pancakes and egg rolls. Seeing it in a high-end restaurant was very, very out of place, as was holding a piece of pizza.
The pancake ratio isn't much different.
This pizza was not provided by this restaurant at all. When ordering, Vin first ordered the most expensive wine - the one he was drinking now, which prompted the manager to come out directly to meet him. Then he looked over the menu over and over again, and finally threw it away.
One side: "The food here is not to my liking. Is there any pizza?"
The manager's expression suddenly became very difficult: "Sorry, sir, we don't have this kind of food here."
If Wein hadn't ordered the wine first, the manager would have thought the guy was here to cause trouble and asked the security guard to kick him out.
"Okay, you can order a pizza for me. The requirements are as follows..."
Finally, with mixed emotions and an order, the manager dialed the number of another pizza shop in his own high-end restaurant. It took a lot of effort for the manager to convince the other end of the phone to "deliver the pizza to the best place in Jian District".
"Fine restaurant" is not a prank.
Regarding this, Liang, who honestly ordered steak, which was most common in Western restaurants in his previous life, said that there are really enough living worlds and he can see all kinds of scenes.
Wein bit into the pizza and pulled out a long thread, and said vaguely: "Are you like those pedantic old aristocrats who think that my way of eating has tarnished the 'elegant' wine?"
"That's not true, it's just quite rare." Liang felt that he didn't need to pay too much attention to this guy's behavior.
"The value of things is defined by people. I think this bottle of wine goes well with pizza. It's that simple."
It seems like this guy likes both wine and pizza, Leon thought.
"But I don't like wine."
Leon was stunned: "Ah? Then why did you order it? This bottle costs hundreds of pounds."
Vin shrugged: "Because it's interesting. Pairing the most expensive wine with takeout pizza at the most luxurious high-end restaurant in Caspers, don't you think it's a very interesting experience?"
"...I may not have this artistic sentiment."
Leon was even more convinced that this guy Vin was not normal at all.
"Of course, actually I was just curious about this bottle of wine when I was looking at the menu, so I ordered it first. Then I couldn't find anything I liked, so I asked the manager to order a pizza for me." Wein took a sip.
Wine, "However, no matter how many times I taste it, I still think grape juice tastes better than wine."
"Don't let the winery boss hear what you say, you will get beaten, but I also agree." Due to physical reasons, Liang didn't drink much alcoholic beverages in his previous life. He just drank some wine from Vin, and he felt like there was only something in his mouth.
It's sour and astringent, and there's no elegance to it at all.
The two agreed on the wine.
Seeing that Leon was still struggling with the steak, Wayne scanned the restaurant idly and knocked on the table: "The time has come to test your reasoning skills. Guess what will happen to the couple next to the window."
Liang looked over as Wein pointed, and saw a middle-aged man and a young woman sitting face to face, neither eating much. The middle-aged man smiled and behaved elegantly, but his hands were very close to the table; the woman was distracted.
His eyes wandered, looking again and again in other directions than at the man opposite.
After observing for a while, Liang guessed: "The man will suddenly hold the woman's hand, and the woman will forcefully break away and give the man a slap?"
As he said this, Liang wanted to laugh a little. It felt like some strange blind date plot, the kind where a man is interested in a woman and is ruthless.
"Oh, it's a very old-fashioned way." Wein leaned back, "Actually, the woman will say goodbye to the man first and walk to the second floor, and the man will follow after her."
"Huh?"
After waiting for a moment, Liang saw the woman standing up in a hurry, not knowing what she said, and hurried to the second floor. As soon as the woman disappeared at the top of the stairs, the man's expression was no longer elegant. He stood up in the same unnatural movement and followed
Up.
"What's going on?" Leon turned to Vin.
Wei Yin raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you want to hear the explanation at this time?"
"hurry up."
"Okay. Actually, look at the food on their table, seafood topped with red spicy sauce, ice cream, and wine on the rocks. What did you think of?"
Leon's expression became unnatural: "Are they trying to escape?"
"Exactly."
The black pepper sauce steak in front of me suddenly lost its color.
Wein continued: "Many other guests went to the second floor for a while and then came back. It was obvious that they were not going to visit some beautiful scenery, but to use the toilet. The woman looked to the second floor many times, obviously she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Stopped. The man's expression was relatively well managed, but he also secretly looked towards the second floor, holding the edge of the table with his fingers and exerting force. It was also quite painful."
"They must have just met, and they felt that it was not appropriate to ask for a toilet break during the meal, so they have been holding back. Unfortunately, the woman was defeated first and fled in a hurry. After the man won the 'Who can hold it in longer' competition, he
Naturally, I didn’t want to continue to hold on, so I immediately followed him and went to the toilet together.”
"This is a very simple reasoning. If you pay more attention to the details, you can do it."
Liang nodded heavily: "It's amazing, really."
It was so powerful that it had a huge impact on his appetite.
At this time, Wein's communication terminal rang, and he took it out and took a look: "Tsk, tsk, it seems that Carlson and Zoe failed to find any more interesting clues from the half-cooked corpse of the Imperial Envoy.
"
Looking at the small portion of medium-rare black pepper sauce steak that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside on the dinner plate, Leon put down his knife and fork.
