After not sleeping all night, Victor was not sleepy at all, but the driver he hired suffered.
After receiving money from his employer, he had to wait on the side of the road. As soon as he took a nap, the police came unexpectedly, and then started making a lot of noise, making it impossible for him to have a good rest. He lay in front of the carriage and saw
The sun rises in the sky.
Fortunately, this strange customer finally returned home. He planned to put him down and go to the roadside to sleep before continuing his business.
Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Victor stretched his neck and looked ahead, reminding the coachman not to accidentally fall asleep on the road.
Back in the carriage, Victor continued to sort out the information he had obtained.
This world is mysterious and unpredictable due to the existence of invisible arts, and the tragedy that happened to Dallion is not an exception.
Victor will not become a partner of justice and try to eliminate all injustice and evil in the world. He only cares about his own purpose.
As for who killed Dallion’s child? For what purpose did the nanny take a baby back to his home?
Victor doesn't care about any of this.
He only knew that Joseph's funeral was not held publicly, and no one saw him being buried. Only Rufu knew the truth of the matter during the whole process, so the nephew of the deceased must be hiding something.
As long as there is this clue, Victor can take action against Rufu.
"We have to discuss it with Henry again."
He decided to use the authority of the Ministry of Defense to contact the Inspection Bureau for cooperation. He asked Henry to use the name of investigating invisible crimes to control Rufu first, believing that they could pry the truth out of each other's mouth.
The carriage returned to Xianxiang Mansion.
As soon as Victor walked through the door, he met Will walking in the garden.
He was originally careful to avoid Paimis, but after seeing Will, he was not so worried.
"Mr. Will, what are you doing?"
When Will saw Victor coming back, his expression changed, and he quickly invited him to go into the house together.
The two went upstairs and came to the study. Will immediately closed the door, changed back to his identity as an employee, and talked to Victor.
"Mr. Damon, did you lose anything when you went out today?"
Hmm?
When Victor heard him ask this, he touched his pockets curiously.
"No."
"So do you have a pocket watch with Will Evans' name on it?"
"How is it possible? Where did I get such leisurely time? What happened?"
There was some sweat on Will's forehead. He took a deep breath and told Victor about the strange man who came to investigate the house just now.
After hearing this, Victor's face suddenly darkened.
"Looking for Will Evans to return the things...the pocket watch...this guy is lying, he has ulterior motives." Victor touched his chin and gave a decisive conclusion.
"Yes sir, I found something wrong with him, so I didn't let him in, but he knew that there was a red-haired man living in this mansion."
Will reported seriously.
Victor pursed his lips and turned to stare at the employee.
"You mean...he should know about my existence?"
"Yes!"
"Then he came to the mansion to catch me out?"
"Then you have to ask yourself, sir..."
Victor laughed and raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard a cold joke.
"I don't know the other party's motives at the moment. What else did he say? Why did he tell a lame lie about returning lost property?" he asked.
"He said that he met you near the Zhangshan Cemetery, had a conversation with you, and found that your pocket watch was left behind, so..."
"What does he look like?"
"Wearing a deerstalker hat, an khaki plaid gown, and a short cape."
"Mustache?"
"No..."
"Are you coming by carriage?"
"No..."
"Okay!" Victor heard this and interrupted Will's words.
"You did a good job this time and your judgment was very good. It is worthy of praise. I will handle the next thing myself. I hope you can maintain this kind of vigilance and loyalty in the future."
Will was very relieved to receive Victor's affirmation. He stopped arguing with his boss, nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Victor sat on the wicker chair, crossed his legs, and tapped his fingers on the glass coffee table next to him.
Will's last words reminded him of a lot.
The uninvited guest claimed that he saw Victor near the Zhangshan Cemetery, but Victor didn't believe it at all.
From beginning to end, the only people he interacted with near the cemetery were the two ruffians whom he bribed to lure away the cemetery guards.
But those two people would definitely not talk nonsense about returning the pocket watch.
If they wanted to come here to blackmail Victor, they should have threatened him directly.
Besides, Victor didn't reveal his name or Will's name to them, let alone the address here.
Then the only other possibility is that he was discovered after digging the grave. Perhaps it was Ruf or the administrator of the cemetery. They reported the case and the police came to investigate?
However, there are problems with this inference. If the police knew that Victor was a grave robber, they would definitely come to search him directly instead of lying, and they would not just come by one person.
That night was so dark that Victor didn't even meet the cemetery caretakers before leaving the cemetery. Who knew he would have red hair...
"The police caught those two gangsters and forced them to come out?"
Victor continued his analysis, but this conclusion still had the same problem as before: the police would not adopt this roundabout investigation method.
He shook his head, suddenly changed his mind, and thought of the third possibility.
"Rufe hid the secret of Joseph's burial, and this secret was discovered by me, if I were him..."
"Rufu has a mustache, but the visitor is not a mustache, so it's probably not Rufu himself who was present, but someone he hired..."
"Could it be a private detective?"
When Victor thought about this aspect, it suddenly made sense.
"Ruff knew that his secret had been discovered. If the police caught me first, maybe I would reveal the matter and expose him, so he had to find me first, so he hired a private detective...
”
After muttering to himself, Victor slapped his thigh and suddenly laughed loudly and heartily.
"Hahaha! What a bastard with ulterior motives! Not only did you hide your uncle's body, but you also wanted to kill me and silence me. Are you going to die without any evidence?"
After laughing, Victor's face turned cold. He stood up and immediately made fortunes.
"Happiness will come soon, official affairs will be blessed, and the sick will have no trouble! Beautiful hexagram."
After calculating the good and bad luck, Victor immediately picked up the pen from the desk, dipped some ink in it and wrote a letter. He stuffed it into a wordless khaki envelope and glued it with glue.
After walking out of the study, he went to the terrace, found Will who was reading, and handed the letter to him.
"Help me do something. It's not convenient for me to go out now."
Will stood up and nodded respectfully: "Please give me your orders."
"Go to the Inspection Bureau and give this letter to the detective who came last time."
"Okay, what's his name?"
"No, you can just find someone and tell him that the messenger is the owner of the Incense Mansion. After he hears it, he will come out and take it away."
Will took the envelope and went to the bedroom to change out of clothes.
Victor looked at the lavender in the garden with his hands behind his back, and the fragrance had filled the entire second-floor terrace.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rufu, I have to strike first..."
……
Outside the mansion, the private detective who had been waiting for nearly two hours could also smell the fragrance coming from the garden.
He hid under the shade of a very inconspicuous tree and stared closely at a carriage that had just left near the mansion.
Because he was too far away, he didn't see what the person who got off the car looked like, nor could he clearly see the color of his hair hidden under his bowler hat, but what was certain was that the person entered the mansion.
"That is to say, when I talked with Mr. Will just now, there was at least one servant missing in the mansion, and now, the man who was away from home is back..."
