OK! You're done. Wayne showed a delighted smile. He immediately released the transformation state, glanced again to make sure that no clues were revealed, and then turned around and opened the door.
What caught his eye was Chris's somewhat strange expression. Seeing Wayne finally come out, she asked carefully: "Are you... done?"
"Ah, it's done." Wayne replied casually. He deliberately took a step away to clear the path behind him.
"Actually, I didn't do anything. If you don't believe me, go in and check it out yourself!" Wayne said this confidently and without any guilt.
Almost instantly, Chrissy’s face
"Shua" he suddenly turned red.
"I, I won't go in." Her eyes wandered.
"As long as you're fine..." Why does this conversation sound so strange? ——Wait a minute, she must be thinking wrong!
Wayne solemnly declared: "I really didn't do anything, I was just dazed for a while." Chris' face became even more exciting.
She turned her face to one side and refused to look at him, speaking like a mosquito.
"Hmm" said. Seeing her reaction, Wayne suddenly became anxious. Will my glorious image end here?
!
"Didn't you always want to come in and take a look just now? You can now!" He stretched out his hand to hold Chrissy, trying to pull her in.
Chrissy, who was touched by Wayne, first trembled, and then showed a strong refusal: "It was just now, I don't want to go in now!"
"There's nothing inside!" Wayne was desperate.
"Okay, okay, I get it...nothing." That's what she said, but just by looking at her expression, you can understand that she didn't mean what she said.
The situation just now was completely reversed, and the two people were in a stalemate at the door.
"Chris, Wayne, what are you doing?" Tasia's voice suddenly sounded from behind. First ls://s://The expressions of the two people were stunned at the same time.
"Ah...it's nothing." Wayne let go of Chris and awkwardly pretended to look around at the scenery.
"Yes, yes, we are just... chatting." Chris also gave the steps very cooperatively.
Looking at the two of them doubtfully, Tasia did not get too entangled and just told them: "An assassin appeared just now. Lord Alik was unconscious, and Horace... was captured by a hat."?
? ? Chris looked confused, as if she thought there was something wrong with her hearing.
"Been hated?" She stretched out her hand and made a gesture on her head.
"Is it the hat I understand?" Seeing Tasia nodding seriously, Kris suddenly showed an expression that shocked the whole family for a whole year.
Wayne also pretended to be surprised and asked with concern: "How is City Lord Alik's injury?" Tasia was startled, but seeing Wayne's secret wink at her, she quickly understood that this was the City Lord after all. You cannot expose yourself in the house.
"The injury is serious," Tasia said.
"Although it is not life-threatening, even if he wakes up, he will have to rest in bed for a while." If Horace had not been missing, this situation could not be better.
But...will the person who kidnapped Horace be a good person? Tasia subconsciously touched the doll in her pocket.
Even she herself didn't quite understand what kind of mentality she had in keeping it at that time.
"Ah... that's really too bad!" Wayne said with fake regret,
"It's a pity that we have to return to the academy on Monday morning and can't stay in Costco City for too long." Chris also joined in the performance: "Yes, yes, Count Alik is so pitiful! We will talk about it after we go back Send someone to bring him some nourishing herbs."
"That's right! In that case, we'd better set off as soon as possible." Wayne concluded. In a few words, they decided on the schedule.
Because the city lord fell into a coma and didn't know when he would wake up, Wayne and the others had to say goodbye to the housekeeper.
Alik's butler was a tall, thin man in his thirties. He looked at Wayne and the others who had finished cleaning up. He obviously wanted to say something but didn't dare, with a gloomy expression.
Seeing this, Wayne deliberately patted his shoulder and whispered: "Sometimes, a small choice can determine a person's life. The world is so wonderful. Mr. Butler, are you right?" He was full of words for him. The butler was slightly startled by the profound hint.
"Everyone will encounter opportunities, but only few people can grasp them." Wayne let him go.
"I hope you are a smart man." After saying that, Wayne got on the carriage and sat in the carriage.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. The housekeeper stood there for a long time, clenching and unclenching his hands, unclenching and clenching them again, struggling fiercely in his heart.
But in the end, he sighed and didn't do anything extra. I have saved a lot of savings over the years, and while Count Alik is unconscious, it is a good time to fly away. There is no need to drown in the same boat with him.
After all, these are the children of Duke Wench, and in time they will be the next duke. How can Earl Elliot reap any good results from his confrontation with them?
With this thought in mind, he returned to the city lord's palace and took the time to make the final finishing touches. Wayne drove the carriage and drove along the avenue for a certain distance before turning into the alley next to it.
"Wayne? Where are you going?" Chris poked half of her head out and asked him.
"Go and get the evidence that Horace said." Wayne said calmly,
"No matter what his whereabouts are, we still have to help him do what he asked for before."
"That's right..." Chris's mood dropped.
"I hope he's okay." Of course he will be okay. Wayne took the carriage around for a while and deposited it in a trading house.
The few people changed their clothes in the hotel, rented an ordinary small carriage again, drove along the road out of the city for about half an hour, and then walked a certain distance before finally following the instructions left by Horace. The clue unearthed a small wooden box.
After cleaning up the remaining dust, Wayne opened the wooden box with the key Horace gave him.
As expected, there was a list of names and an account book lying quietly inside.
"That's it." Wayne flipped through a few pages. Suddenly, his movements stopped. In one line, Franz Edgeworth's name was clearly written.
Gan! Father-in-law, aren't you cheating on your daughter and son-in-law? ! The only good thing is that his name is not high up, and he is not yet deeply involved. He is just one of the names on the list.
"Someone who can be bribed". Without any time to think, he closed the list again naturally. Like just a casual glance.
