    ,

    The meeting with the earl's butler was arranged at the teahouse of the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening. There were only three of them in the huge venue. After all, those who hadn't gone to bed at this point had already gone to the night show.

    The Blood Moon Butler was originally the earl's butler, and the current earl's butler was originally the assistant butler of the second son.  There are three families living in the castle, namely the earl, the eldest son and the second son.  The reason for the eldest son to live in the castle is to take care of the fief, which is simply to collect taxes.  For example, Prince Charles' fief is Wales, and Wales' taxes belong to Charles.  Of course, we can't just collect taxes, we also need to use tax money to improve infrastructure.  The eldest son must not be able to handle it alone. There is a fief management office at the foot of the castle hill, and the eldest son is the person in charge of the office.  At the same time, the earl also needs to pay land tax according to the size of his fief, and because of this, many nobles have survived in name only, and their fief may be a place where birds don't shit, they can't form an industry at all, and they can't afford the land tax.

    The reason why the second son lives in the castle is that his wife is a well-known best-selling novelist and likes the environment of the castle very much. She said it can give her infinite inspiration.  The second son himself opened a company in Brighton, taking advantage of Brighton's seaport to do import and export of agricultural products, and the company is doing well.

    Liang Xi interrupted: "I'm sorry, the reason for bothering you so late is definitely not to listen to your introduction to the castle. We want to know if there is any conflict between the three families living together?"

    The earl butler nodded: "Of course, but most of the conflicts are handled by our butlers. The three families are relatively harmonious."

    "Compare?" Romeo said: "The count is dead, we need to know the real information."

    The earl's butler sighed deeply: "There are irreconcilable conflicts between them. The biggest conflict between the earl and the eldest son is the difference in three views. Because of this, they can easily annoy each other. In most cases, the annoyed party will fall into  Silent, silent. The only quarrel between the earl and the second son who was directly arguing about Brexit and not giving in to each other. The conflict between the earl and the second son is that the second son is a dink family. The earl persuaded them to have children in the early years, and later persuaded the second son to divorce.  At about forty years old, watching the eldest son's children grow up, especially after the eldest son's grandson was born, the second son somewhat agreed with the earl's views, which also led to a quarrel between their husband and wife. The result of the quarrel was that the earl and the second son's wife became opposites  , the second wife said last month that she would leave the castle after finishing the novel."

    The earl's housekeeper said: "The conflict between the eldest son and the second son is because the second son often does not participate in family days. For example, on the anniversary of the death of the countess this year, the second son did not go home to attend the family dinner on the grounds that he had an important business with his client.  Talk. When the countess was alive, she asked that every year on the anniversary of her death, all the children should have dinner together."

    Liang Xi asked curiously: "Does the Earl have any opinion?"

    The earl's housekeeper paused: "The countess committed suicide because of a super-friendship relationship between the earl and a maid. Before she committed suicide, she confessed that several children must be reunited once a year on the day of her death. In her opinion, she died  In the end, the earl will definitely marry the new countess, and the most pitiful ones will be these children. In fact, the earl did not do so. He blamed himself and apologized very much, and never married again. "

    Liang Xi said: "But it doesn't mean there are no women."

    The earl's housekeeper wanted to refute, but finally smiled helplessly: "The earl himself never attended the death anniversary banquet. Four months ago, when the second son was absent from the third day of the death anniversary banquet, there was a quarrel over this matter. The eldest son was very angry and said: Since you don't think you  You are part of the family, please take your wife and your belongings and leave the castle."

    "The second son of the earl also broke out. He said that he is better than the eldest son in all aspects. The eldest son can inherit the family because of the rigid rules of the nobles. He also pointed at the earl and said: "Why don't you ask Dad who he wants to inherit the earl?"  Title? Let me tell you, if it weren¡¯t for the bad rules, Dad would rather let the fourth sister inherit than you.¡± The earl¡¯s housekeeper said: ¡°You still say that Dad is not dead yet, so you are so arrogant and treat the castle as a castle.  Your own property, what qualifications do you have to say this?"

    The earl's butler recalled: "When the needle pointed to the wheat, the earl reprimanded the second son. He thought the second son should not use vulgar language. After speaking, he didn't look at the eldest son, and left the dining table and went back to his room. I remember the eldest son was very embarrassed at that time.  Anyone who knows the eldest son knows that he is the most face-saving person in the family. To be ridiculed by the earl in front of the servants, wife and children, I think he has the heart to die.  Except for the communication, basically no longer see each other.¡±

    The earl's housekeeper said: "The earl regretted it afterwards, and I gave him an idea to let him learn Tai Chi. Although the father and son have not communicated much, it can be felt that the relationship between them has eased."

    Romeo said: "It sounds like the Earl really doesn't like the eldest son."

    &? Stewardship behavior.  "

    Romeo said: "Most of what you said is the truth, which is similar to what we know. Have you noticed? Whether it is your description or the facts, after you became the earl's acting butler, the contradictions of the three families have increased day by day. Everyone has different abilities.  Maybe you are not that good. This makes me even more puzzled, why would a good Blood Moon Steward choose a not-so-good steward? In comparison, I think the Blood Moon Steward should support the eldest son Steward."

    Stan frowned and asked, "Gentlemen, is this an accusation?"

    Romeo looked at Liang Xi, and Liang Xi nodded: "Yes, it is an accusation. We accuse you of hiring George to murder the earl and accidentally injure the eldest son, and then colluded with gangsters to kill the earl, his driver and two bodyguards."

    Stan was still very calm, and asked: "What about the evidence?"

    Liang Xi smiled: "Brother, do you think I need evidence for what Liang said? I doubt you, and I verified my suspicion. The next step is a very simple multiple-choice question. You turn yourself in, and you follow Detective Romeo. You deny,  As a detective, I will inform my employers of my investigation conclusions. My employers include but are not limited to: Blood Moon, Eldest Son, Second Son, Hannah, Coster, Presbyterian Church and other people and institutions."

    Romeo said: "Mr. Stan, suppose we visit the blood moon steward who is already in prison and tell him our deduction, do you think he will let you go? You are nothing in front of big shots. Note, I am not talking about you  Helping others kill the earl, I mean you accidentally injured the eldest son. You have no right to accidentally injure the eldest son, understand what I mean?"

    Stan shook his head: "I don't understand."

    Liang Xi said: "Let me translate: We believe that you are not the ultimate mastermind, but the ultimate mastermind may not believe you. Even if we let you go, do you think others will let you go? You worked in the earl's house before, and to many people  Said it is a valuable position, and you have no value now."

    Stan was silent, and Liang Xi added: "From the very beginning, you should try your best to refute the claim that you are the murderer. After all, we have no evidence. Even if we believe that it is you, in line with professional ethics, we can't talk nonsense. Now there is time to refute.  "

    Stan knew that they had no evidence, but he did leave a bug. The biggest problem, of course, was that he did not accompany the Earl out of the hospital.  I could have explained that I didn't like the earl, but I agreed to the earl because I was helpless at work, and I was more worried about the health of my eldest son.  But the two of them trapped their positions in advance, making it impossible for them to defend themselves.

    Secondly, there are too many words in front, in order to set up a mystery, in order to muddy the water, all the internal conflicts in the family were exposed all at once.

    The most troublesome thing was a huge mistake of mine. I should have distanced myself from the blood moon steward at the beginning, but for a while I forgot that the blood moon steward was a villain on the bright side.  Of course, this can't be completely blamed on Stan. The blood moon housekeeper is really a very good housekeeper, and he will not hesitate to help his boss take the blame and go to jail.

    If Stan wants to consider Liang Xi's words, it is somewhat credible. Will his boss really kill him because he doubts him?  Should I be a tainted witness?  Suddenly Stan woke up. He was thinking about the possibility of becoming a tainted witness. Could the boss trust him?

    After thinking about it, Stan said: "My boss is the eldest son. If you want to know more, I need a lawyer and a tainted witness agreement."

    "Eldest son?" Liang Xi and Romeo were both surprised.  Romeo was really surprised, and Liang Xi pretended to be surprised. He had already thought that the eldest son, the deep sea demon, and the blood moon steward were all in the same group.  But Liang Xi believed that it was definitely not the eldest son who asked him to find someone to shoot the earl.  But now Liang Xi couldn't reveal the fact that he knew the existence of deep sea demons.

    So Liang Xi said weakly: "Isn't it Hannah?" Before the attack on Blood Moon Castle, Hannah got the news from the insider and retreated. Afterwards, Hannah admitted that she had an internal response.

    Stan was taken aback, and then said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Hannah."

    Fuck, this idiot is actually a double-faced sword butterfly!  That's right, Stan was in the same group as the blood moon steward, the deep sea demon, and the eldest son, but when Hannah bought him, he didn't even refuse.  Is the loyalty of the workers so low now?

    Romeo was in a hurry, pointing at Liang Xi: "Shut up."

    "No, it's really Hannah." Stan was also in a hurry, and told the two of the things like pouring beans.
