Chapter 355 The Noisy Duke's Mansion

The two secretly entered the Governor's Mansion in the carriage of the Valente family and had a secret conversation with Baron Bolvar, the spy who was responsible for the security of Her Royal Highness the Princess, for several hours.

Lynch told the Baron all his guesses.

The attack on Her Royal Highness the day before yesterday was very strange and the action was very big. Not only did the gas pipeline explode and blow up half of the Crown Square, but two soul-destroying dead soldiers who were unknown whether they were level three or level four were also deployed. There would not be many forces that could make such a big fuss.

Therefore, when Lynch heard the bishop of Harlan District mention Raymond's big plan, he immediately connected everything. The Shadow Alliance was likely to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Raymond would do anything to stop this plan.

Baron Bolvar's face changed several times when he heard it. He no longer doubted Lynch's sharpness. After the three of them discussed for a long time, the Baron met with the Duke and Viscount Moliere again. After a long time, several figures quietly left the Duke's Mansion and went away in all directions of the city.

But the party still has to go on, as long as the world doesn't end.

When Lynch came out from the back door, it was already past noon, and he and Miss Valente separated.

After all, she was an unmarried lady. If he dared to enter the venue with Miss Valente, it was estimated that there would be no worries about the front pages of newspapers in Rand tomorrow, and the assassins sent by the Valente family should be downstairs the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, Mr. Detective could only spend an hour alone to get from the back door of the Governor's Mansion to the front door, and he was tired and cursed all the way.

But when he got back to the main door, he still felt that the trip was worthwhile.

He saw the true style of the wealthy families in the Victorian era.

In the Tiger Claw District in the north of Rhine City, half an hour's drive from the city center, two endless metal fences were lined up on the left and right, enclosing a mysterious area. This is the Governor's Mansion.

In the endless yard, the first thing you see is a huge racecourse, and outside the field is an open grassland, which makes Lin Qi suddenly see green in the industrialized city. Several striped deer stick their heads out of the fence, curiously looking at the passing carriages and making yo-yo sounds.

The gate of the mansion is wide, which can accommodate at least four carriages in parallel. There are already many carriages stranded in the small square outside the gate. Gentlemen and ladies in formal dresses meet in front of the gate, politely, laughing and smiling, making the atmosphere in front of the gate more lively than Crown Square.

In such occasions, even if you are still outside the gate, the war is around you.

The carriages are parked in a row, and the difference is immediately apparent.

A purple paulownia wood carriage costing 200 pounds? The mass-produced standard carriages are simply not available here. The driver has to stand with his hat brim pressed down. At least it must be made of stone heartwood, and it must be made by a famous artist, otherwise the owner can only sneak in. You come in a purple paulownia wood carriage? No wonder you are stuck in traffic.

Those who came in rented carriages would not attract much attention. They were not on the same track at all. Forcing a comparison would only show a lack of cultivation. Most nobles would not make such mistakes. Instead, those nouveau riche who started from the common people and were called gold coin nobles would occasionally do such scandals that would make people laugh for generations. After all, a rented carriage is also a car, and there is another person strolling next to it.

Hmm? Why are you all looking at me? Haven't you seen someone who can walk?

Lynch looked around calmly, raised his hat and waved at several familiar faces.

"Why did you change the rules, Jack." A slightly higher voice came from the guests gathered at the door, "The carriage and the coachman are not allowed to enter, and the servants have to wait in the car. This is too inconvenient."

'That's right, who is so wicked to come up with such an idea. '

Lynch touched his nose and smiled subtly: You have never seen centralized security checks, and you have never seen admission based on the number of people. There is no metal detector yet. The experience of struggle accumulated in my hometown for thousands of years is annoying you.

"There's nothing I can do, Baron, just cooperate." The middle-aged butler who greeted guests at the door smiled more elegantly than the nobles around him, and persuaded in standard Norin accent, "This rule came from the capital. It is said that it has just become popular there, and even His Majesty the King has praised it. You..."

"Cooperate, of course. His Majesty the King is wise, His Majesty the Duke is wise, and this new rule is just right for the current Rhine."

As the people around him echoed loudly, the atmosphere in the crowd that entered the venue became more and more harmonious. Occasionally, you could hear praises such as 'whose brain was eaten by the evil god who made this suggestion' and 'his whole family should be thrown into the dreamland for a thousand years', which made Lin Qi secretly happy and his smile became even brighter.

Seeing you unhappy, I feel much better.

"How did that one get in, Jack?"

"Your Excellency, that was Countess Hathaway. The other two that went in earlier were Count Lorende and Princess Chloe of the Kingdom of Salt. The eldest daughter of the Valente family will also go in directly in a while. They all entered through special channels."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. I was worried about affecting the Duke's arrangements, hahaha."

Linch entered smoothly with laughter. He had asked Baron Bolvar before if he wanted him to help keep an eye on suspicious people who brought strange objects in at the door, but the Baron just smiled and said nothing.

So Lynch was relieved and walked into the Duke's Mansion with his cane swinging.

In the distance is the Duke's Mansion, which is modeled after an ancient castle. It towers into the sky, and a sense of majestic oppression comes over you. A small lake lies in front of the mansion, and a group of leisurely water birds float on the water. Along the stone road around the lake, you can see a dozen guests gathered in the open space in front of the mansion. A small band has begun to play. Lynch closed his eyes and listened for a while, then nodded silently.

Yeah, it sounds good.

"Mr. Lynch Leviev."

Just when Lynch was standing outside the crowd in a daze, not knowing what to do at all, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw the figures of Count Lorende and the other man standing side by side.

"I'm sorry for being rude that night, Mr. Detective." The Earl smiled kindly on his chubby face, unlike the aggressiveness when they first met at Princess Chloe's cocktail party. "I'm really sorry, we were too nervous and almost caused bad consequences."

It would be a lie to say that he didn't care, but after going through so many things and facing countless dangers, looking back at the experience at that time, Lynch suddenly felt a sense of calmness.

"It's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again." Lynch smiled faintly and shook his head, "What about Her Highness Chloe? I have something to give her."

"Her Highness took her friends to the backyard to watch the animal training show."

"Huh? There's also an animal training show?"

"Yes, the ball doesn't start until the evening, and His Excellency the Duke has prepared a lot of activities for everyone to kill time." The fat earl patiently explained, "If you're interested, you can go horseback riding. His Excellency the Duke has a few very good purebred horses, or go fishing by the lake, but the fish are all fed, and I've never caught any."

"There are concerts in the front yard, and there are animal training shows around the back, and there are many free-range animals. If you want to exercise, there are fencing venues and shooting ranges in the back."

"Inside the mansion, you can appreciate His Excellency the Duke's collections, hehe, not the kind of appreciation last time, you can taste wine, read books, and play cards. In fact, all activities are nothing more than one purpose in the end, socializing. If you just want to have fun, just stay at home."

No, I definitely don't have the opportunity to race horses or fish at home, I can only eat horses and fish. And do you want to cause a bloodbath? Why mention a shooting range?

After saying goodbye to Count Lorende, Lynch decided to let the poor horse and fish go for the time being and went around the back of the castle.

Sure enough, a stage was set up in the backyard, and animal training performances were being performed, using animals raised by the Duke's family. Looking at the tigers and bears on the stage, Lynch fell into deep confusion.

You rich people have nothing to do, raising these things, no wonder there are few rich people.

However, among the dozen people next to the stage, Lynch saw the petite figure of Princess Chloe at a glance. She was clapping reservedly. When she saw Lynch coming towards her, she politely lifted her skirt and bowed deeply.

However, when Lynch's eyes turned to her side, his eyes almost went straight.

Damn, why did you bring this guy here too.

Next to Princess Chloe stood a figure even smaller than her.

Alice, the young deep diver.
