Chapter 762: The Collapsed Lighthouse (1)

"Who can tell me what the hell is going on? Why would Viscount Link do such a thing at such a moment? Looking at Brown, who was dying in front of the bed, and Viscount Link, who had been tied up by the guards of the city hall next to him, that is, the nobleman who had been stunned by the mysterious black-robed man before, everyone present had a very embarrassed look on their faces, but there were many different looks hidden under this look.

One of them was because the place where Brown died was the city hall under his jurisdiction, which could be regarded as a direct slap in the face at a certain time, you must know that he himself had ordered that in order to prevent the people present from having a physical conflict and causing others to be harmed, all the people who came to the meeting, including the officers, must put their weapons outside the city hall and hand them over to the city government guards for care. Moreover, those who came to the meeting would be searched by the guards to prevent them from bringing any dangerous objects into the meeting, but it was in this situation that the unbelievable scene happened in front of them: a member of the old noble faction of the Holy Light Harbor used a sharp dagger to kill the Captain Brown in front of him, who belonged to the core of the upstart faction.

This 1 situation is nothing for the current high-level leaders of Shengguang Harbor to drop a depth charge in the water, and it is also a nuclear bomb-level bomb: you must know that the relationship between the new nouveau riche and the old nobles is incompatible, and the balance that seems to be about to collapse can be solved for this at one time, on the one hand, because of the suppression of the previous generations of Shengguang Port city lords. On the other hand, there is the rule among nobles that they cannot directly harm their opponents, unless you use an assassin and do it cleanly.

But now, this imminent collapse of the balance has been shattered. The death of Brown in front of him and the old aristocratic man who was tied up by the five flowers but still unconscious is an opportunity to disrupt this balance, although there are many doubts about the situation in front of him, such as why did this nobleman in front of him kill Brown? Why did he fall unconscious? The one in front of him is really the old aristocratic faction who instructed him to do it or someone else, and many doubts are on the surface that this matter in front of him will not be so simple.

Compared to the City Lord of the Holy Light Harbor, who was full of anger in his heart but was extremely distressed because he couldn't find any clues, the new nobles felt sorry for the death of their most powerful ally, but they were not very angry or sad. It is said that nobles and businessmen are profit-oriented, and in the matter of Brown's death in front of them, these new nobles all saw an opportunity. A reason to be sure that the Lord of Harbor of Light would be on their side now - Brown had been killed by an old aristocratic figure, well, at least on the surface.

There may be many reasons to prove that the assassin is not the Viscount Link, but the problem is that there are also many reasons to prove that the assassin must be the Viscount Link in front of him. The first is this dagger in the hands of Count Link. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this dagger is nothing more than a dagger forged by the light dwarves in the Holy Empire, and the only difference is that the handle of the dagger is not black like ordinary daggers, but white.

However, the high-ranking people of the Holy Light Harbor knew the dagger very well, because not long ago, this dagger appeared at a large auction in the Holy Light Harbor, and everyone present at that auction had been there, and wanted to keep it as a collection because it was a dagger forged by a famous light dwarf forger. And the next side of the competition was finally bought by the unconscious Earl Link in front of him.

Perhaps the dagger doesn't look very attractive. It's just that it has a certain collection value and makes everyone move the snack, and it is nothing to be bought by a viscount at a high price, and it won't even be long before everyone forgets the storage of this dagger, but the problem is that it is not the time for everyone to forget it, so under the guidance of the extremely nobles, everyone present quickly remembered that the dagger in front of them was the dagger of Viscount Link.

If this was the case, the old nobleman would definitely jump out and say that this dagger might have been stolen before this, but the problem is that no one will jump out now, because everyone present did not believe that Viscount Link's dagger would be stolen, and the reason for this is mainly Viscount Link's position in the Holy Light Harbor - Viscount Link is the financial insurance officer of the Holy Light Harbor, and to put it bluntly, it is the head of the Holy Light Harbor Vault.

It is precisely because of this that people know that Viscount Link used his little power to get all his property into the vault of the Holy Light Harbor, and this also includes the dagger that Link collects, so if someone wants to get this dagger, they must crack the mechanisms of the vault, but this is basically impossible, you must know that the mechanism of the vault was once made by an archbishop of the Holy Light Empire with his own connections, asking a master of the Great Qin organ and countless dwarven master craftsmen, Unless the door is blasted open with a Sunset Artillery-level weapon, it will be harder to get hold of what is inside than it is to ascend to the sky, and even if someone does open it, who will pay attention to this dagger with only a little appeal? You must know that the other contents of the vault are dozens or even hundreds of times more valuable than this dagger.

And it is this reason that must be confirmed that the death of Brown in front of him is related to the Viscount Link of the old aristocratic faction, even if Viscount Link himself is not the one who killed Viscount Brown, the reason for the dagger must have a great deal to do with this matter, that is, the so-called accomplice.

And in fact, the new aristocracy doesn't have much to do with who is the murderer, to put it bluntly, finding the murderer is just to avenge Brown, and Viscount Link is related to the old aristocratic faction, which is really key, although Link himself is just a small viscount, but the problem is that his own position can allow him to occupy a high position in the old aristocratic faction, after all, many times it is necessary to use money to settle the matter, and Viscount Link, as an old aristocratic faction, can use his position to temporarily borrow from the depository, Originally, this ability made Viscount Link very popular among the old nobles, but now this ability has killed the old nobles.

Because of the high-level relationship between Viscount Link and the old nobles, the old nobles can't get rid of their relationship with the old nobles at all, and these new nobles can use this relationship to question the old nobles, and even completely affect the final result of their previous trust from the city lord of the Holy Light Harbor, after all, no matter what aspect of the current situation, the old nobles' side occupies the "untrustworthy" side, and the upstarts think that as long as they bite this point now, Then the final choice of the city lord of the Holy Light Harbor is self-evident. And the old nobles may have also taken a fancy to this, so all the old nobles present were basically very embarrassed, and even looked at the Viscount Link who was tied up with a lot of flowers and the members of the upstart faction opposite, because they all knew that their plan to escape quietly was basically impossible, and of course not all the people of the old nobles were like this, such as the few legion commanders who were still kept in the dark.

"Can we only use ushering in it? Forget it, anyway, it's a big deal to lose a little more when the time comes, at least you have to save your own life. Almost all the nobles who knew the plan of the old nobles couldn't help muttering in their hearts at this time, but then everyone's eyes turned to the city government servant who came with a bucket of water.

Under the splash of this servant, a bucket full of cold water was poured on the unconscious Viscount Link, but what made everyone present show a look of surprise was that when the cold water was splashed on Viscount Link, Viscount Link did not wake up as everyone imagined.

"Earl Nash, come and see if Viscount Link is in a coma because of drugs." The words of the city lord of the Holy Light Harbor made the members of the old noble side see a glimmer of hope, because if it is really caused by drugs, then at least 70% of the people's opinions on Viscount Link as the murderer are not valid, and in this way, they will be able to stand firm and even fight back against the upstart side, for example, the real murderer who killed Brown this time is the upstart side, Brown is their outcast, and the reason why Viscount Link appeared here was kidnapped and framed and so on, In fact, now almost every member of the old aristocratic faction is thinking about what to say on their side in order to be able to fight back.

As for why none of the people present believed that this matter was done by outsiders, it was because everyone had already discovered that this room was a secret room, the windows were locked, there was no trace of anyone else around, and the city hall was surrounded by guards, and the servants inside had already gathered to stay outside, and the housekeeper in charge here had already said before that there were no strange faces among everyone.

Of course, in fact, these people don't know that in the spy intelligence network where the sun never sets, there is a kind of spy who is a high-level spy from the Raven Alliance, named "Thousand Faces", but now everyone will not care about this, what they care about is whether the Viscount Link in front of him is in a coma because of drugs.

"Lord of the City, Viscount Link is not in a coma because of drugs, but .........." Count Nash, who was called by the City Lord of Shengguang Port, is the prosecutor of the medicinal materials trade in Shengguang Port, and he also knows something about medicine and medicinal materials, so if it is really a coma caused by drugs, then he can at least see it, so everyone present expressed trust in Count Nash's words, and the faces of the old nobles were difficult to look at again, but then they heard the "turn" in Count Nash's mouth.

"However, although it was not a drug-induced coma, I did find some strange wounds on the back of Viscount Link's neck, which looked like they were made by pinholes, and these pinholes even spread to the back of Viscount Link's head, because of Viscount Link's hair, I can't know if there are these wounds on the back of his head, but if there is, it is very likely that Viscount Link is in a coma because of this photo."

"Then what are you waiting for, go and find a doctor in the city........." Before he could finish speaking, a panicked guard rushed over from the corridor. (To be continued......)
