Charles went to the porter and took the letter that had been sent to him. He knew in his heart that his sister might be trying to break himself apart for an excuse, but in his heart he also felt that it was good to get rid of the embarrassment of Charlotte in this way. He quickly returned to his study and opened the letter he had received.

Albert had sent it from Calais, and his handwriting was somewhat sloppy, and at first glance it was written by someone who was accustomed to doing what he wanted.

"My friend, everything is going well, we have been living here for a few days without any harassment. It seems that the Count of Dilliion did not send people around to chase him - of course, this may also be my delusion, and I will always be careful.

We lived a very leisurely life these days, and we rented a small cottage here, and because of boredom, I went out hunting with Lucien and them, and even went fishing on the beach. Lucien's marksmanship is very good, and I am not surprised that he is very accurate in hunting, but I didn't expect him to be very good at fishing, and I feel that I appreciate this guy more and more...... Another thing that surprised me was that Miss Julie also went hunting with us, and her marksmanship was passable! Haha, I always thought she was just a delicate lady who looked like that, but it's right to think about it, if you don't have a little guts, you can't do such a thing.

They decided to follow Mademoiselle's instructions and stay here for a few months to see if Matilda could really convince her father and grandfather to admit the business. Even if we don't say it, we can see that Miss Julie wants her father's approval and blessing—but it's not surprising that girls are always like that.

I also joked with Lucien that I should work harder and make someone sooner in this time, so that I could make the most convincing reason, and you should look at the look on his face when he heard me! hahahahahaha

Well, from my words, I'm afraid you can see their current state, leisurely and harmonious, but there are also some expectations and nervousness in their hearts, which is not difficult to understand, right?

Haode, I guess this letter of mine can also make you feel more relaxed, right? I wish you all the best over there, too.

By the way, we now cook game from the hunt every time we have dinner, and then toast you and Matilda before the meal!

Your loyal friend."

Looking at the cheerfulness in the letter, Charles couldn't help but laugh too. Albert's natural optimism makes him laugh every time.

"Very well, and I wish you all the best." He spoke softly, then took the letter into his small drawer.

Then he picked up the letter from the Perriette Mansion to see if the Miss Blue Stockings would be able to fulfill his expectations.

When the envelope was opened, Charles found that the letter inside was not the scented high-quality letterhead that Miss Blue Stockings was used to, but a page, apparently written by the owner in his busy time. Still, the handwriting is consistently clear and beautiful.

"Dear friends

The information you have sent me has been very useful enough to be used as a reward for the information I have previously revealed to you. In addition, I seem to have heard that the marriage between the family of the Duke of Treville and the family of the Marquis de Léoland had been dissolved, and that Mademoiselle Léoland had returned to Paris. Looks like you've reached your own? Congratulations on your victory!

Since you and I have been working together quite happily, your request was a difficult one, but I did my best, but I ask you to remember the toil of your poor faithful friend!

Regarding the recent sudden death of the Duchess of Prasland, it is surprising that there is not much information to inquire about, and we have tried our best to inquire before learning some information, and we hope that you will understand.

Now the basic understanding is the following:

The Duchess married the current Duke of Prasland in 1824 and had two sons after marriage. However, the couple's relationship was not particularly harmonious, and there were frequent rumours from servants in the ducal palace that the duke and the lady often quarreled over financial matters or life issues. Obviously, the relationship between the Duke and his wife has been very bad over the years.

Of course, it's fair to say that this kind of thing is actually quite common, and how many couples in this day and age can maintain a good relationship all the time?

However, this is by no means to say that there is nothing suspicious about the Duchess's death, in fact, after learning a variety of facts, I am full of doubts: the official information is that the Duchess died on July 16, and the cause of death was suicide due to years of depression. But according to the information I obtained, just two days before she died, the Duchess went to the opera house to see the latest plays, and had a good conversation with the people next to her, and even made an appointment to attend a banquet at a friend's house in a few days...... It doesn't look like it's about to be depressed because you're too depressed.

Of course, it's hard to say, after all, there are people who commit suicide because of impromptu intentions. But that's a suspicion in itself, isn't it? In addition, after the Duchess's suicide, many servants who had been employed in the Duke's palace were suddenly dismissed and left the Duke's palace......

Moreover, the official handling of this incident is also very simple, it seems that it is only a cursory reading, and the next day it directly issued an announcement, concluding that the Duchess's death was a suicide. There was no general suspicion, and it was just hastily settled. Just imagine, the feud between the duchess and the duchess is not a secret at all, and now that the duchess suddenly died without warning, if you were a policeman, would you not suspect anything and just assume that the duchess committed suicide? Extrapolating from this, I think that the police may indicate that there is something wrong with it...... I'm sure you wouldn't object, would you?

After the investigation was hastily completed, the Duchess was soon buried in the family cemetery of the Duke of Prasland. She didn't even have time to wait for her father to come to the funeral - the Duchess's father believes you know who's the one to do? It was the Count de Laporta, the old marshal, who was recuperating in the south from rheumatism and inflammation of the joints. The Duke's reason is that it is not easy to preserve the body in the summer, but as far as I can see, there may be other reasons in it.

In addition, I can tell you one of the biggest doubts directly: the investigation of this matter is much more difficult than I originally thought, many clues cannot be traced, the investigation files and materials of the case and the interrogation questionnaire are all kept secret to the extreme, and I feel that there seems to be an official behind the scenes to help cover up this matter.

That's all I know, and I hope I can help you.

As a friend, I would like to advise you on a particular note: I personally advise you not to get too involved in something that is not particularly important!

Of course, you may have your considerations in mind, so I'm just suggesting, and if you must participate, I sincerely advise you to be more careful.

Please burn after reading

Break a leg!

Your loyal friend."

After reading it, Charles faithfully fulfilled the other party's instructions and burned the letter. Then he sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Good haode memory, let those words and sentences constantly circulate in the mind, and then keep combining and analyzing.

It seems that it is completely understandable that the old marshal felt that his daughter's death was very strange. Anyone who hears that his daughter, who has been at odds with her husband for a long time, suddenly died without warning, and that her husband was hastily buried before his own funeral, I am afraid that there will be great doubts in their hearts, right?

It's no wonder that he came to his grandfather's side for help, because the government seems to be trying to help the duke cover it up. I'm afraid that the old marshal tried to ask the police for help, and Zuihou failed before turning to someone else for help......

However, there is still a doubt.

What about weishenme? Weishenme official to cover up for the duke?

Charles couldn't figure it out.

Although the duke is noble, famous, and involved in politics, the duchess is not from a humble background - well, the ancestors may be quite modest, but the marshal is a high-ranking and powerful Xuan He for a while, although he has been retired for several years now, but how to say that Yu Wei is still there, at least he can still have some influence, right? Anyway, at least it's impossible to kill an only daughter if someone wants to, right?

However, it looks like someone killed someone......

Charles was a little confused.

If the Duchess was really murdered, then it was impossible for the officials not to see any flaws, at least they would not go to such a hasty and perfunctory investigation, and then help cover it up.

Unless......

Unless you're helped by somebody, and the people who help are definitely among the people at the top.

Will Weishenme help?

Could it be the old marshal's past political enemies? Or did someone secretly accept bribes from the duke? Even if they accepted bribes, would anyone help cover them up like this? What kind of bribe would someone who can do such a thing need? How much bribes will be required?

The more Charles thought about it, the deeper he felt the darkness became.

However, because of this, the courage and passion in his heart were stimulated, and he felt that his blood was boiling and burning. He didn't think of backing down, nor did he think of stopping as Blue Stockings had advised.

It would be great if we could find out about this, wouldn't it be nice to find out something? various considerations.

But where do you start?

Charles closed his eyes. The passion of a young man and the calmness of a middle-aged man are now integrated in his mind, and they are inseparable.

A moment later, a sentence in the letter brought back his memory.

"In addition, there is another thing, after the Duchess's suicide, many servants who had been employed in the Duke's Palace were suddenly dismissed and sent out of the Duke's Palace, and their whereabouts are unknown......"

"Let's try it first." He reopened his eyes, his blue eyes staring out the window.
