Count of Wizards

"Article 17 of the Empire's current "Inheritance Law" stipulates that as long as it is recorded in the will of the heir, even illegitimate children can obtain part of the heir's inheritance! Fabinho's inheritance is conservatively estimated to be at least thirty. More than 10,000 gold pounds, such a large amount of wealth is enough to make people have greedy and evil thoughts, and if there is one less heir, the inheritance that can be divided is enough to be an astronomical figure!" Rodri said quietly:

"So the top priority now is to determine whether the news that Connor Ferguson told us is true?" After thinking for a while, Keane said softly:

"That's right! Ms. Naya is an important witness. Regarding whether Miss Rebecca and Fabinho are father-daughter relationships as Connor Ferguson said, I think we can all know from Ms. Naya!" Luo Delhi analyzed:

Keane nodded, but seemed to have thought of something, he hesitated and said: "I think there seems to be something wrong with the nobleman Connor Ferguson..."

Rodri waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Connor has no problem, even if he has a problem, it's fine..."

"Officer Rodri, what do you mean...?" Keane frowned and asked:

Patting Keane on the shoulder, Rodri said helplessly in a low voice: "Do you know why I speak so politely to Connor Ferguson, who is almost as old as my son? Although our empire is already democratic, it's only in name Democracy in the world, the ruling class of the empire is nothing more than a capitalist plus a nobleman!"

"Although the Ferguson family that Connor belongs to has begun to decline, Connor's father, Ferguson Sr., is still the Earl of the Empire after all, and his influence in the aristocratic circle is not small, and another point is that Connor's mother's elder brother also It is Connor's uncle, Rudolf Francis, the president of the Francis Consortium, who just won the last parliamentary election and became a member of the Imperial House of Commons!"

"So I've said so much, Officer Keen, do you understand what I mean? Why would the police department send us two inspectors to do something that ordinary police officers can do when looking for Connor to understand the situation? Isn't it because of Connor Do you belong to the privileged class of the empire? Even if the disappearance of Rebecca is really related to Connor, we have successfully sent Connor to prison. Believe me, it won’t be long before Connor Ferguson will be released on bail! "

"So... let's forget it like this?" After a long silence, the young police officer Keen covered his head and said in pain:

"Listen, young man, what I just said is a hypothesis, to let you see this decaying empire, we as the police, the most important thing is to act on the basis of evidence, not reasoning and feelings, "There is no doubt" I believe that you, a police genius from Scotland Yard, must be more familiar with these four words than I, a bad old man, but the reality is that we have no evidence that Connor Ferguson is related to Rebecca's disappearance!" Grab Keane's shoulder, Rodri said solemnly word by word:

···········

···········

"Hahahahaha!"

After mentally sensing that the two policemen had gone away, Connor, who was sitting at the dining table, laughed loudly.

When he saw the two police officers just now, Connor's heart sank completely. He thought it was the matter of killing Rebecca and Vidal by himself, but when the winter incident happened, the police came to the door!

But slowly Connor realized from Officer Rodri's polite attitude that he was only suspicious of him, and he was afraid of his identity. After understanding these two points, Connor's head was running extremely fast, and he deliberately pretended to be mysterious and confuse the public with vague words, allowing the two police officers to think and guess by themselves, leading them to the court. Binho had a heart attack.

Judging from the state of the police officer Rodri before he left, Connor felt that he had succeeded, and the police were led to another path by him.

After finishing the rest of his breakfast, Connor didn't go back to practice the secret technique of the abyss, but put on his windbreaker and bowler hat, and was ready to go out.

Time flies, and the day after tomorrow is the 60th birthday of George's father, the banker Mr. Harvey Sanchez. Since Connor has promised that George will go to the birthday party, it is impolite to go empty-handed.

As for the birthday gift for Mr. Harvey Sanchez, Connor already has some clues. When Mr. Harvey Sanchez was young, he served as the colonel commander of the 11th Army of the Imperial Army and participated in the Empire's suppression of the New World. Unfortunately, in the famous "Battle of Tingen Harbor Meat Grinder", Mr. Harvey suffered some injuries to his legs. Although he saved his life, he was forced to retire because of this. Walking from now on needs the help of a cane.

Giving a cane to Mr. Harvey as a birthday present was not decided by Connor with a slap on the head, but a decision made by Connor after asking George. After all, some people are very taboo about these things. You'd think you were mocking his lameness. And Mr. Harvey Sanchez is not shy about his leg disability, and even expressed in public that this is the best military medal in his military career, which proves his bravery in the war!

Walking on Queen Street, the busiest business district in Ruen City, Connor thought about his budget for buying walking sticks. This month's education fund was thirty gold pounds. He had already withdrawn it from the bank and threw it away for this month's meals and social expenses. , he had about fifteen pounds or so to spend.

As a big banker, Mr. Harvey is the largest shareholder of the Bank of Girona, the second largest bank in Ruen besides the Imperial Bank, and a rich man with a net worth of hundreds of thousands of pounds. Naturally, the birthday gift given to him cannot be too shabby. Of course, as a good friend of his son, there is no need to give too expensive gifts.

Connor planned this way, and spent about ten gold pounds to buy a cane for Mr. Harvey as a birthday present. Although the ten gold cane is not very expensive, it is indeed not cheap, and it is very suitable for his current status. Five pounds, Connor planned to order a formal suit for the birthday party.

Connor usually likes to wear trench coats, bowler hats and other collocations. He rarely wears formal clothes that are suitable for large banquets. Therefore, his original formal attire is no longer in line with the fashion trend of the current high society. So when the time comes, if you don't want to be laughed at, it's better to order a new set.
