Chapter 1331 The End
Not long after, four policemen came to the cellar with a reporter, and the reason why they had to bring a reporter was purely a knee-jerk act of self-preservation.
If something really happens and can be resolved, the journalist will become a scapegoat, and if it can't be resolved, then the journalist will become an important witness, and even be able to produce some important physical evidence.
The cellar is large, no smaller than the main structure of the manor on the ground, and may even be larger.
In the past when the aristocracy ruled this society, every nobleman's estate or castle could be regarded as a small military fortress, and a team of two or three hundred people was fully armed at any time and place for dealing with emergencies.
The armor and weapons of these soldiers were stored in cellars, and sometimes large quantities of grain and meat were stored in case of emergency.
At the same time, the manor also needs some safe space to store some valuable and invaluable items, including the special habits and enjoyment needs that the owner of the manor may have, which makes the cellar more like a basement.
After going around the underground building for a long time, he finally came to the outside of the cellar, where the butler knocked on the door and the manor's bodyguard opened the door from the inside.
The two prickly police captains standing outside the door glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement and a hint of stability in each other's eyes.
Yes, there is no doubt that people are hidden in the cellar by them.
There weren't any other people in the rooms they'd seen before, except for the wine cellar, which was already occupied before they arrived.
This means that the people in here must have been doing something to cover up the fact that they were hiding people here.
...... from the cellar The staircase leading to the first floor in the basement was watched by the police, and they had no way to get out of here, so they had to hide their target.
The five of them entered together, and they were stunned for a moment, they had never entered the manor of a real nobleman, let alone such a meticulous search.
They had been shocked many times before, but this time they were still shocked.
The pursuit of quality of life and pleasure of the aristocracy is much higher than that of people of other classes, but the essence of the nobles' "pursuit" of pleasure is not deliberate, and this kind of high-quality and high-enjoyment life is their most simple daily life.
While people outside were still thinking about buying a decent alcoholic beverage at the right price for their meals, the aristocrats did not hesitate to choose the most suitable alcoholic beverage for the year, the most suitable atmosphere, and the most suitable scene from those expensive famous products.
This is definitely not a deliberate attempt to show their status, because their lives are like this, comfortable and happy.
The walls on both sides of the cellar are filled with bottles with hanging labels, and the air is filled with the aroma of wine, and in the second half of the cellar there are many dracaena barrels, in which slumbering alcoholic beverages that are more valuable than silver or even more valuable.
Since the distillation method developed by Du Lin replaced the dragon's blood purification technology, the dragon's blood wood was quickly abandoned by the ordinary market, but for those aristocratic circles who like alcoholic beverages and think they have a high grade and style, the new method will never be as good as the ancient method to show their noble temperament, and the dragon's blood wood technology is the mainstream.
Therefore, there will always be some dracaena barrels in similar estates and wineries, which are encapsulated with dracaena wood residue, and the price of each barrel is very amazing, and it has become something that is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy.
It may be a wine cellar for the butler, for Homs, for the people who live on the estate, but for the police and journalists, it is a vault.
The reporter took two photographs with the consent of the housekeeper, and the police have already begun to search the entire cellar.
The butler always maintained a cold and serious expression, as long as he mixed up this place, the matter would end here, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the bodyguards beside him, wanting to get twice the certainty from his face.
But the bodyguard's dodgy gaze made the butler feel Gordon in his heart, Gordon was a dog, and one year he fell from the highest room of the manor and fell to his death with a bang.
His slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be able to speak, so that the bodyguard could feel that if the butler could speak at this time, he must have glared at him very angrily, and asked himself in an unsettling tone.
He couldn't answer the butler's question, so he could only look down at his toes, this time it's over, it's really over.
Originally, when someone came to inform him, his plan was to hide the two big and one little girl in a wine barrel together, and there was not much wine left in some of the barrels in the back, and he believed that both the butler and the master would agree with his idea.
But what he didn't expect was that when he was about to do it, the girl named Melissa, who didn't look big, got a letter knife out of nowhere and poked it in her neck.
Here's what she said to the bodyguards - Durin is the father of my children, and if I die, your lord will be in big trouble, but you servants will die, and I don't believe we can try!
This sentence scared the bodyguard, even though he was a bodyguard and should not be afraid, but the name that the girl said was born with a fearsome message.
Bodyguards, security guards, in fact, many times these people are exposed to the dark side of society more than ordinary people, because their work is like this, and some of them are even gang members or people on the street who "transferred" to work.
Many people had heard of Doolin's name and what had happened to him, but for the members of the Underworld, what they knew about Doolin was largely limited to what he had done to others, which was terrifying.
Whoever his opponents were, he was alive all the time, but his opponents were all gone, and some even included their families.
For the sake of whether it was worth it for the owner of the manor to kill his own family, the bodyguard made a decision after a simple choice, although he felt ashamed of his work and salary, but soon he became at ease, at least he saved his family, and more people in the manor.
The butler turned his head sharply to look at the policemen who had already entered the second half of the call, and turned to leave, he had to tell Holmes what had happened here as soon as possible.
Less than half a minute after he left, a slight noise alarmed the police officers who were discussing how to open it around a barrel.
"Who's there?"
"Let us see your hands, and slowly come out......"
Half an hour later, the entire imperial capital's public opinion circles were boiling, and the police station received a report from a well-wisher, and found the woman from the manor in Homs who was suspected of being the well-wisher when he called the police.
This is the statement in the official press release, but this does not mean that journalists cannot continue this statement and fantasize about it and show what they think to readers.
The so-called press release is the official unified caliber, and no matter how the reporter writes it, it must conform to the core idea of the press release.
Because there is no complete story ending between Holmes and Durin, the content of the press release is more "ambiguous".
It does not say that it must have been a kidnapping, let alone any words related to the victim, or even a qualitative word such as "rescue", but uses the ambiguous word "found".
Doing so will not directly "convict" Holmes, and there is a certain operability in the matter, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not completely qualified, but the tone already exists.
If Holmes relents and admits defeat, then it is likely that it will end up being a misunderstanding, and in the end, Holmes, the police, the police, the police, Paula and Melissa's mother and daughter will prove that it was an accident, and that they were only invited to visit Holmes' estate.
If Holmes doesn't back down and has to fight Duhrin to the end, it is very likely that the word "found" will soon become "rescue", and those unnamed "women" will also have specific names.
No matter how it changes, the draft comes from the government, and everyone trusts the cabinet and state power, and the reason why there have been some misunderstandings in some things in the past is purely the result of some people with ulterior motives in the middle.
The discovery of the two women has put Holmes in a desperate situation, and the results of the investigation from Woodland have made him even more uncomfortable, and so far a mayor has been secretly arrested on suspicion of leaking state secrets and is going through the process.
Once the mayors who supported him in Woodland were pulled out like nails, then he really lost everything!
He is not Durin, he can stabilize the local relationship and situation in a very short period of time anywhere, he needs more time to slowly sort out, to reconcile, to conquer.
The cost of losing Woodland was too great for him to do.
After thinking about it for a long time, after making a few phone calls, he sent Odega a phone call, which was very short, only a short sentence - "Tell Doolin that I admit defeat!"
It didn't take long for Durin to know the result, and there was no doubt that it was not unexpected by him, and this was the most normal and correct outcome.
The fight with Holmes broke out quickly and ended quickly, which is actually normal.
Now that he has more energy than before, it is difficult to have a political battle that lasts for weeks or even months.
At this point, it is all about planning and then acting, planning all the links and starting immediately, and separating the winner and the winner in a very short time.
The biggest difference between the struggle at the top and the struggle at the bottom is this, and the few people in power in the townships and towns may fight for months or years, or even for a lifetime, because of some small differences.
But at the top, it will definitely not take more than a month, because if it drags on for too long, it is likely to produce an even more terrible spontaneous political movement.
Therefore, any high-level struggle will not last long, such as His Royal Highness the Prince who eats melons, when the royal family decided to kill him and launched it, it only took one night to decide the victory.
