The originally joyful banquet hall suddenly became silent, with the only sound being the official's rapid breathing.
Lin Zhiming frowned.
"What's going on?!" Cameron put down the wine glass in his hand and asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty the King, the guard over at the Treasure Hall just received news that the Treasure Hall has been stolen and the Arctic Night Pearl you collected is missing!" the official said excitedly.
"What?!" Cameron asked with a shocked expression on his face, "The Arctic Night Pearl is missing? That was something my father left me. What did you do for food? How could that thing be stolen?"
"It is unclear how the Arctic Night Pearl was stolen, and we are investigating," the official said.
"Take me to see it!" Cameron said, hurriedly walking out of the banquet hall.
Halfway through, Cameron stopped, looked at everyone around him and said, "Everyone, the treasures in the palace have been stolen. Please stay in the palace for a while until the things are found."
"Your Majesty the King, do you suspect that one of us stole the thing?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"Of course I would not be so suspicious, but the palace is heavily guarded and it is difficult for outsiders to sneak into the palace and steal things, so the thieves can only be people from the palace. Please be patient. I will arrange for people to conduct a search immediately. It should be
The thief will be found soon, and everyone will continue drinking," Cameron said.
Hearing what Cameron said, Lin Zhiming couldn't say anything more and could only remain silent. After all, he had lost something valuable.
However, Lin Zhiming felt something was wrong in his heart. He would never lose this thing, so why did he lose it when he and others came to the palace? Moreover, the king invited all these people to come to the palace.
Recalling that he had previously rejected Colbert's large sum of money to purchase the king's uniform, Lin Zhiming always felt that these things seemed to be vaguely related to each other.
Lin Zhiming looked at Taylor next to him.
Taylor happened to see him too and walked over from the side holding a wine glass.
"Mr. Lin, here's a toast to you." Taylor said.
"Everything has been lost in this palace, how can you still drink?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"What does it have to do with us that they lost something? I didn't steal it anyway." Taylor shrugged.
"You just went out for a visit, where did you go?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Just walking around the palace next to it, you also know that I come from the Royal Palace of Fu Kingdom and have been living in the palace of Fu Kingdom, so I am a little curious about the palaces in Africa." Taylor said.
"Have you gone to the Treasure Museum?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I went, but their officials took me there at the time. After a tour, I found that there are indeed many good things inside, but they are still not comparable to the treasure trove of treasures stored in the palace of our country. If I have a chance, I can take you there.
Go visit." Taylor said with a smile.
"Did you go to the Treasure Museum?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown, "Did you go there by yourself? Or did your tour guide take you there?"
"Of course my tour guide took me there. I didn't know there was a Treasure Pavilion. I just looked inside for about ten minutes and then came out. The guards at the Treasure Pavilion are still very strict. There are security checks in and out. I passed
I just came out of the security check, so it must have nothing to do with me being stolen," Taylor said.
"If that thing is really valuable, I'm afraid you will still be suspicious." Lin Zhiming said.
"If there is a suspicion, then there is a suspicion. There is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of a slanted shadow. I didn't steal it. If they suspect it, just suspect it. In the worst case, let them search." Taylor shrugged indifferently.
"What if it's framed?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Framed? What framed?" Taylor asked doubtfully.
"No." Lin Zhiming shook his head. In his opinion, a king like Cameron would not be able to play a frame-up game. That would be too low.
Maybe it really was just something stolen, and I should have thought too much.
The banquet continued, and it was not affected too much by what happened in the Treasure Hall. The only impact was that those who were leaving had to stay in the banquet hall, and then they could only drink a few more drinks.
About half an hour later, Cameron returned to the banquet hall with a dark face.
Seeing Cameron's face, everyone intuitively felt that Cameron had not recovered his stolen treasure in the past half hour, so they all calmed down and looked at Cameron.
Cameron sat on the throne, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"
"Your Majesty, have you found anything?" someone asked.
"Not yet, my people have sealed off the palace and are searching inside the palace," Cameron said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the King, your treasure will definitely be found." Someone comforted.
"The Arctic Night Pearl was left to me by my father. It means a lot to me. I wouldn't be like this if other things were stolen. I'm sorry everyone, I made you delay your time because of me. I believe you must
It cannot be related to the theft of the Arctic Night Pearl, so if you want to leave now, you can leave, and if you want to continue drinking, you can continue drinking," Cameron said.
After hearing what Cameron said, many people said that they were leaving. Everyone was not stupid. Isn't it stupid for you to hold a banquet at someone's house after their treasure was stolen?
Cameron didn't stop everyone, he called the officials and took them away.
Just then, an official hurriedly walked in from the door, walked straight to Cameron, and whispered something to Cameron.
Cameron's face darkened slightly, and then he shouted, "Everyone, wait a moment."
Everyone who was walking out stopped and looked at Cameron in confusion.
"Everyone, my people just found out some information, and I need the cooperation of a warrior friend present." Cameron said.
"Who?" someone asked.
Cameron looked at Taylor and asked, "Mr. Taylor, have you been to the Treasure Museum today?"
"Yes, I went there for a while and came out!" Taylor nodded unabashedly.
"In that case, Mr. Taylor, please stay a little longer. After all, you have been to the Treasure Museum." Cameron said.
"I didn't steal anything. I don't even know what an Arctic night pearl looks like," Taylor said.
"Mr. Taylor, I am willing to believe you, but after all, you have been to the Treasure Museum and you are considered a suspect, so you can only stay for a while. After you find enough evidence to prove your innocence, you can naturally leave here.
." Cameron said.
"Your Majesty the King, as the captain of the Royal Palace Guards, I, Taylor, absolutely cannot steal anything. This is not only because stealing is illegal, but also because of my honor! Every member of the Palace Guards must be an upright and honorable man.
!If I steal something, it will not only discredit myself, but also discredit the royal family of our rotten country." Taylor said loudly.
Just as Taylor finished speaking, several officials walked in from the door carrying a large box.
Seeing this box, Taylor's expression changed and he asked angrily, "Your Majesty the King, what are you doing?!"
"Mr. Taylor, according to our people's investigation, after you left the treasure hall, you said you wanted to go to the toilet, and you were separated from our palace officials for a few minutes. A few minutes later, you appeared again near the parking lot. We
I suspect that you are transferring stolen goods. If you have stolen anything, I will find out by checking your suitcase." An official said in a deep voice.
"It's ridiculous. Even if I stole something, I couldn't just put it in the suitcase! The suitcase contains my personal belongings. There's no way I would let you inspect it!" Taylor said excitedly.
"This is the best way we currently know to send the Arctic Night Pearl out of the palace. You are guests. Naturally, we will not check your luggage when you leave the palace. In this case, if you put the Arctic Night Pearl in your
If you put it in the box, you can safely send it out of the palace. Mr. Taylor, if you want to prove your innocence, please allow me to open the box and check it!" the official said seriously.
"Fart, no one is allowed to check my luggage!" Taylor said excitedly.
Hearing Taylor's words, everyone present was a little strange.
Almost all the warriors participating in the World's Strongest Battle this time brought very little luggage, because they came to fight, not to travel. Logically speaking, Taylor should be the same. If so, then unpack and check.
It's not a big deal to prove his innocence at once, so why does Taylor oppose it so firmly?
"Mr. Taylor, why are you so firmly opposed to us checking your suitcase? It's just a suitcase, and it doesn't involve anything else. Why are you so opposed? Is it because there are some ulterior secrets in the suitcase?"
"The officer asked, staring at Taylor.
"This is my honor as a member of the corrupt king's royal guard. I will not allow anyone to search my suitcase without evidence. Your Majesty the King, please believe in my character! I will never do this.
Things like stealing," Taylor said.
"I also want to believe you, Mr. Taylor, but the Arctic Night Pearl means a lot to me, so I would rather offend you. I have to see your suitcase today! Bieber, open the box." Cameron said to his officials.
.
"Yes!" The official named Bieber walked directly to the box.
"Who dares to move!" Taylor yelled angrily and was about to rush to his suitcase. At this moment, countless red dots focused on Taylor's body.
Taylor's body suddenly paused. He knew that as long as he moved again, countless laser beams would be fired at him.
"Don't resist fearlessly. In this palace, even if you are the strongest in the world, you can't make any waves." Cameron said expressionlessly.
Taylor gritted his teeth and said, "If you really want to do this, then we... can be regarded as enemies."
"You are just on the same level as the captain of the guard of our palace. What qualifications do you have to enmity with me? Bieber, open the box." Cameron said.
