Carmen Gable hired an open carriage early in the morning and rushed to Eagle Castle.
After leaving Dongcheng and still far away from Eagle Castle, I saw a patrolman blocking the intersection.
"Sir, there is no traffic ahead. No matter where you go, you must either go back the same way you came or go around." The patrolman ordered coldly.
"Officer, I'm going to Eagle Fort." Carmen Gable directly stated his intention.
"What do you do? The order I received is that no one is allowed to approach Eagle Fort without permission." The patrol officer said, "If you are a reporter, you don't need to show your identity certificate, because it is you reporters who are on guard.
"
These words directly blocked what Carmen Gable wanted to say. There was no freedom of interview at the moment.
Carmen Gable's mind was spinning very fast, and he took out a library card from his pocket: "Police officer, I am a student at the University of Poitou, and Viscount Sean Connery is my principal.
As a mission from Mr. Principal, I need to go to Eagle Castle to meet the Viscount."
The patrolman looked at the library card handed over and said suspiciously: "Is Viscount Connery at Eagle Castle? I haven't heard about it."
"Do you still need to approve the behavior of the Viscount? Don't blame me for reminding you. The Viscount may not have the right to remove you from the position of deputy commander, but there is no problem in letting you lose this job."
Carmen Gable pretends to be angry.
When the patrolman saw this, he didn't dare to stop him, and actually let Carmen Gable go straight to Eagle Castle in a carriage.
Sure enough, with different status, the treatment is different, even though he is acting like a fox and a tiger.
In fact, many of his colleagues have already arrived at Eagle Fort. Most of these people have come around from other country roads. On the outside of Eagle Fort, the patrol police can only guard the main road. They cannot take care of all the places. There are always loopholes.
Can be drilled.
But all reporters were stopped outside the iron fence of Eagle Castle, because a large number of patrol policemen holding rifles tightly surrounded the castle, preventing outsiders from entering.
Carmen Gable greeted her colleagues and exchanged information. It seemed that everyone had been notified in advance. It was suspected that the official had deliberately leaked the information, and no one was able to get there first.
But the news is so confusing that it’s even hard to believe.
Some people said that several corpses were found in Eagle Castle, and the new owner, Viscount Connally, was frightened and called the police.
Some people say that this is the nest of the rebels. The rebels secretly executed many people who refused to cooperate with them. The most ironic thing is that as a nobleman and the owner of this castle, Viscount Lincoln was accused of being the leader of the rebels.
——Is there any more breaking news than this?
Others say that this place is actually a secret stronghold of wizards. These evil wizards sacrificed human blood and created a large number of human specimens.
Anyway, something big happened here.
Seeing that the patrolmen did not chase them away, Carmen Gable allowed them to stretch their necks and look through the iron fence. He noticed the figure of Professor Nolan from the medical school of his university, who seemed to be looking through the open window on the second floor of Eagle Fort.
Passed by.
Then, Carmen Gable saw His Excellency the Governor getting off a carriage, and the Chief of the Secret Police Daly stood at the entrance of the main hall of Eagle Castle to greet him. The faces of the two people were completely different. Governor Byrne's face was serious and slightly uneasy, Daly
The director was a little proud.
Surprisingly, in less than twenty minutes, the governor returned to the entrance of the main hall. He and his entourage were all pale, some were squatting in the flowers and vomiting, and some had weak legs and collapsed on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, more than forty carriages were delivered. These carriages are usually the vans used by the post office to transport packages.
A patrol officer walked up to the reporters and announced:
"Gentlemen, we found a large number of dead bodies in the Eagle Castle behind us. The scene is very tragic and evil. If you need the truth, please come with me. But I warn you, if you are scared, you will bear the consequences!"
This is probably the first time that the patrol police took the initiative to invite reporters for interviews.
Reporters would not be easily frightened by these words. The more terrifying it is described, the more curious it arouses their curiosity. Even if there is no news, they can make news.
They guarantee that they can write about the same event a hundred times and never do it again.
This is their professional instinct. Just change the title of a press release, or change one or two words slightly, and it may express two completely opposite meanings.
Journalists are good at this.
There are flowers in front of Eagle Castle. At a glance, they are colorful and colorful. There is a refreshing fragrance of flowers in the air, which is not dimmed because of the gathering of a group of people here.
Normally, the beautiful scenery here would surely make outsiders stop and admire it, but Carmen Gable was in such a hurry that he seemed to smell the smell of corpses. This was of course his psychological effect.
In the tall and spacious main hall, the originally exquisite and expensive carpet was lifted, and even every piece of marble underneath was pried up.
There are wolves everywhere.
Every piece of furniture has been moved out of position, and some patrolmen are using daggers to cut open the well-made sofas. Some people have uprooted the beautifully trimmed plants in the pots to check for possible hidden things in the pots.
There were dangerous objects, and some patrolmen used a wooden hammer to knock on the wall to check whether there was a secret passage or the like.
A lean man of medium height was leaning in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking a cigarette and cursing at the patrol policemen to be careful.
Carmen Gable had seen this man and knew that he was one of Viscount Connery's followers.
Carmen Gable followed her colleagues to the second floor, and a patrol officer led them into the study. A group of people were sorting out every book here, and a special person was registering it.
The huge bookshelf was moved to the center of the study. There was a secret door on the wall behind it, and a dark narrow staircase led down. This brick secret door was built to be extremely hidden. If it was closed,
In this case, it is not visible at all from the appearance.
I rushed in quickly, but quickly ran back with a pale face.
"Oh God, this is hell!" Someone screamed in despair.
Carmen was the last one to go in, and what impressed him deeply was the smell of strong potion mixed with rancidity, which hit his face and made him feel sick to his stomach.
This staircase is just a narrow passage, but it is not short in length. It leads directly to a secret room deep underground, with a vertical depth of at least eight meters. This secret room is extremely spacious, almost equivalent to the area of the Eagle Fort.
The first thing that catches the eye is a row of complete human skeletons, which are reflecting an eerie white light under the candlelight.
There are as many as twenty of them, arranged in two rows and supported by brackets, like a small skeleton army.
But this does not scare Carmen, because there are them in the medical school of the University of Poitou. But seeing so many of them at one time, even a timid person may have nightmares at night just by looking at them.
Behind the forest of skeletons is a huge platform, where corpses are lying. It seems that these corpses have been embalmed.
But at least half of the corpses had been dissected, and various human organs were soaked in potions in glass jars, a dazzling display. Others had their faces removed strangely.
It's probably because no one has taken care of this place for a long time. These corpses have begun to rot to varying degrees, with brown liquid flowing and a terrible smell.
Most of the reporters are missing again.
In the innermost part of the secret room, there are ten glass coffins. These glass coffins were probably evacuated to a vacuum state, and inside were lying ten stunning beauties. They were surrounded by artificial flowers tied with fabrics of various colors.
Wearing make-up, she still looks like she was when she was alive, as if she was just asleep.
Daley was standing in front of these glass coffins, flipping through a book. Professor Nolan and several people were whispering around these glass coffins.
Hearing Carmen's rough breathing, Daley looked back at him and joked: "It turns out to be Mr. Gable. You have big news to write this time. You can write it for at least two months. It's a pity that it's not exclusive news!
"
"Mr. Director, if I were you, I wouldn't laugh in such a terrible and evil place," Carmen said.
"Relax, young man." Daly said, "First, what happened here has nothing to do with me. The last murder can be traced back to at least three years ago; second, I will not regret what has happened.
I regret it because it can't change anything; thirdly, this is a major case solved in my hands. This may be the most shocking case in the empire for a hundred years. Soon even the emperor will know my name, and I will get
There will only be rewards and praise.”
"Then I wish you all your wishes come true. Frankly speaking, I don't even want to see anyone being rewarded or judged, because nothing happened. But evil things still happened." Carmen said, thinking for a moment.
He said, "Mr. Director, regarding such a major case, can I..."
"Do you want to get exclusive news?" Daley asked, and Carmen nodded, "No problem, but your press release must be reviewed by me. You know, you can't write such terrible things casually. This is also the case with the Governor.
As your Excellency has emphasized, of course we must expose and criticize the crimes committed by a certain person, no, an evil creature, and any negative words cannot be exaggerated. But this cannot affect the judgment of other people in the civilized world."
"Deal!" Carmen agreed. He understood what the governor or the official meant.
"Young man, you will become famous in one fell swoop." Daley patted Carmen on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Daley handed the pamphlet in his hand to Carmen:
"Look, Bieber-Lincoln has very special tastes. He described every beautiful woman lying here in great detail, including their favorite snacks and their particularly preferred postures. And the names of these unfortunate women have all been
Put on the missing list and become an unsolved case."
"This subverts my understanding of nobility." Carmen said.
"No, you can't write like that. A person's moral character, evil or not, has nothing to do with his identity in front of the world. You reporters naturally like to label a certain group of people with the same label because of a certain person.
Absolute and childish." Daley said, "This is why you journalists must be supervised. You can influence public opinion, but you are never allowed to control public opinion."
Carmen accepted the criticism sincerely: "Mr. Director, I always abide by the law!"
"But you've been testing my bottom line like crazy." Dailey said.
"That's absolutely not the case!"
Daley added: "Okay. Let me tell you some information first. The evidence shows that Bieber Lincoln is a bloodthirsty. Have you ever heard of a bloodthirsty person?"
"I've heard of it, a terrible monster." Carmen nodded, the information revealed by Daley strangely made him feel better.
No normal person would be able to accept such a crazy and evil crime from the same kind of people.
