As soon as Fang Xian and Peter entered the living room, they saw Baron Andre Roland complaining endlessly: "Those greedy vultures know that our Roland family has made a fortune, and they all want to take a bite, especially a person who doesn't know where he came from.
A businessman came out of nowhere and said he was willing to spend 50,000 gold to buy the equity certificate... Is he looking down on our Roland family? I would rather sell 40,000 to other nobles than do business with a businessman!"
"Father."
Peter entered the living room, called out, and told what happened today.
Andre's expression suddenly became serious: "You guys, try not to go out during this period."
"Father, what you mean is that the target of this attack is us, and it is related to New World Equity?" Peter was not an idiot. He reacted immediately, his face turned red with anger: "How dare they?"
"There's no way around it, and I'm not sure."
Baron Andre stood up from the sofa and seemed to have made a certain determination: "I have decided to sell the equity certificate to the Marquis Miller family immediately, even if the price is lower... In my heart, my family is the treasure.
!”
"This is a pity..." Peter murmured.
"We've got enough, haven't we?" Fang Xian smiled and looked at Andre: "Are there any suspicious targets for this attack?"
"I suspect it's that businessman, that kind of lower-class person who would choose such a drastic and despicable method... Do you think I don't know? What can't a lower-class person do in order to climb up?"
Andre returned to his usual arrogant look.
Fang Xian shook his head, but did not refute, just asked: "Our family has a good relationship with the Miller family?"
"No, it's just because they are the most powerful among the bidders..." Baron Andre replied a little feebly: "There are some connections, but you can't trust them easily."
"Anyway, everything should be over."
…
Despite such expectations, two uninvited guests came to the door during the dinner.
"Your Excellency Baron, we are agents from the Special Branch. Regarding the attack in the afternoon, we need to ask Mr. Peter and Daniel to assist in the investigation."
The two extraordinary people came to the manor and showed their IDs.
"Okay, I hope to catch the murderer more than you do." Andre said slightly arrogantly: "Butler, take the two guests to the living room."
"Mountain black tea from Narnia, I hope it suits your taste."
The butler Mason brought the tea on a silver tray and stood aside with a smile, waiting for the master's instructions at any time.
"Thanks."
The young agent picked up the white porcelain tea cup, took a sip, and introduced himself: "My name is Red, and this is my partner, Tabor!"
"Hello you two."
Members of this special family most likely use pseudonyms, and Fang Xian doesn't even bother to remember them.
"Then, please describe the situation this afternoon again."
Reid took out his notebook and ink pen, as if preparing to record.
"Okay, this morning, my brother and I..." Peter shrugged his shoulders and began to describe what happened.
Reid interrupted several times to ask questions.
At the end, he suddenly looked at Fang Xian: "Mr. Daniel, I heard that you are a student of the Mysterious Academy, and you showed something abnormal when you were attacked?"
"Yes, I tried to find the attacker, but failed."
Fang Xian shrugged his shoulders, knowing that the change in his eyes could not be hidden from others.
Moreover, there is nothing to hide about the fact that he is an extraordinary person, everyone knows it.
"Can you tell me your rank and path?"
Reid asked immediately.
"The second step, the road is kept secret!"
Fang Xian frowned and replied.
"So... have you ever known or hired a 'Druid'?" Reid's mouth curled up slightly.
"No." Fang Xian replied solemnly.
Reid wanted to ask again, but he heard Pete frown: "That's enough! You are here to help us find the prisoner. You are asking us to assist in the investigation, not the interrogation!"
"Of course, if they are civilians, we will ask them to go to the police station and slowly cooperate..."
Reid replied nonchalantly.
"That's enough. Thank you two gentlemen for your cooperation. It's time for us to leave."
Tabor, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke, pulled up Red, and said goodbye and went out.
Neither Fang Xian nor Peter moved. It was the butler Mason who sent the two detectives to the gate of the manor and bowed to see them off.
"They...have gone too far. Are they treating us as criminals? We are the victims."
Peter got up and paced angrily.
"Maybe something else happened."
Fang Xian's eyes flashed, and he knew that the murderer's death had probably been discovered.
…
Outside Roland Manor.
"Why stop me from continuing my question?"
Reid looked at his companions.
"The other party is the victim...and Daniel is indeed only on the second level. Ordinary mysterious people can't hide it from my eyes, you know..." Tabor took off a contact lens similar to a contact lens from his own eye.
The color of his pupils suddenly turned scarlet: "And 'Druid' is a third-level profession."
"Even if it's not him, there may be some intersection or acquaintance with him."
Reid muttered, knowing that he was a little strong-willed, and his voice gradually became lower.
"Actually, I don't think this matter is complicated or malicious...it's more like a warning. After all, it's the servants and bodyguards who died, not the nobles."
Tabor smiled: "I don't know what happened in the end, but the murderer was killed...but it was also considered self-defense."
"We need to find out the truth." Reid said: "I suspect it was the disturbance caused by the New World Equity Acquisition Case."
"Yes, all the great nobles are here... I have been put under pressure from above to calm down the situation as much as possible instead of aggravating it, do you understand?"
Tabor sighed.
"This dirty exchange of noble interests..." Reid cursed angrily.
"Look at it, the world is always getting better, isn't it?" Tabor shrugged: "In ancient times, nobles even had their own private fiefdoms and armed forces, could promulgate their own laws, and had a monopoly
The path to becoming a transcendent... Thanks to the Tower of Wisdom and Sages, it spreads knowledge and guides civilization."
"I heard that in the Silver Eagle Federation, the aristocracy has been abolished, and citizenship is defined by property, with various rights..." Reid said quietly.
"But in the Narnias Empire, the emperor and the nobles still control everything, and they are corrupt and degenerate... We are neither good nor bad."
Tabor laughed and said, "Don't compare with those above. Compare with those below. You will be happier."
