Chapter 141 Blood Moon Invitation (1)
Consistent with Liang Xi's prediction, the Blood Moon Castle invitation is a detective invitation. This time, six detectives from various countries will participate in the invitation. The gold coins are chips and can be exchanged for 10 silver coins. When you make a correct guess, you will receive a reward
, when you make a wrong guess, chips will be deducted depending on the question. After the case is over, only guests who have more than 5 silver coins can get the next invitation letter.
Liang Xi couldn't understand the meaning of this detective invitation.
The butler explained the meaning: "Each gold coin can be exchanged for 1 million pounds."
This is quite interesting.
The steward said: "Gold coins are called wishing gold coins. You can make a request to the castle owner that is worth no more than one million pounds and is not seriously illegal. For example, if you don't like your boss, he will no longer be your boss soon.
For example, if you want to sleep with a woman, sorry, this request cannot be fulfilled. But people prefer to use gold coins to buy information."
The housekeeper knew that Liang Xi was a rookie and told Liang Xi that he could use a gold coin to ask any questions he wanted to know. If he could not answer, or still could not answer after investigation, the gold coin would be returned.
Liang Xi curiously asked: "What kind of information have people bought?"
The butler replied: "For example, the cause of Diana's death, such as the truth about Kennedy's assassination. Of course, the owner of the castle will not provide any evidence for this. Whether it is true or false depends on credibility. The wishing gold coin can only be used within 24 hours after the case is over. If you miss it,
24 hours, I can only wait for the next invitation.”
Liang Xi understood a little bit and said: "The few gold coins I have must first overcome the case before I can be qualified to purchase information?"
The butler nodded: "Yes."
Liang Xi asked: "Excuse me, isn't the so-called castle owner just an owner? Is he so powerful?"
The butler replied: "The owner of Blood Moon Castle is a major member of the European Skull and Bones Society. He is a British earl. He is very rich and has many powerful friends around the world."
Liang Xi asked again: "Are gold coins valuable?"
The steward said: "I can't answer this question."
Liang Xi asked: "Can I sell it to others?"
The butler nodded: "Of course."
Liang Xi had many questions: "Aren't you worried about me breaking the news to the media and the public about Blood Moon Castle, the Wish Gold Coin, and the European Skull and Bones Society?"
The butler replied: "Of course I can break the news."
So refreshing? Yes, the European Skull and Bones is a legal society. What impact will you have after you break the news?
The butler added: "After entering the castle, all electronic devices of the guests must be temporarily collected. Although the castle owner does not care about people knowing about Blood Moon Castle, he does not want too many people to discuss Blood Moon Castle."
The housekeeper said: "The above is the invitation letter that I can explain. Does Mr. Liang have any other requirements or questions?"
Liang Xi replied: "No more for now."
The housekeeper asked: "Will Mr. Liang attend the blood moon invitation?"
"Of course I want to participate." Maybe we can directly ask the murderer who killed John. As for Thresh's gang, just let them die, it's not worth a gold coin at all. What other questions are there? Do aliens really exist?
Not interested. What is the world after death? I guess the other party can’t answer it. So my goal is just to keep one gold coin.
…
While chatting with the housekeeper, Liang Xi determined that the European Skull and Bones Society didn't care that outsiders knew about their existence. Just like the American Skull and Bones Society, there have been several presidents and business tycoons. In addition, elites from all walks of life abound. Some people would think that the so-called
Skull and Bones is a nonsense. Some people think it is nothing important. Others drafted articles and videos on "Uncovering the Truth about Skull and Bones, the largest secret society of this century". They boasted about their miraculous skills and made a lot of money.
To say that secret societies are very common in Europe, from the monasteries in movies and TV shows to the Finnish Asian Brotherhood, the Merchant Hanseatic League, the Club of Rome, the Bilderberg Order, the Knights of Columbus, etc. in reality, there are also famous ones that must be mentioned.
Freemasonry, it is said that Freemasonry is suspected of colluding with aliens. The most attractive thing about the secret societies mentioned above is the secret, but in fact there is no secret at all. For example, the Freemasonry once had six million members at its peak
, the possibility of keeping six million members secret is infinitely close to zero.
So the so-called mysterious societies are not mysterious at all, but as long as they do not break the law, it is fine. Before World War II, Hiller ordered the ban on German Freemasonry, so the German Freemasonry was banned because the law stipulates that Freemasonry is illegal.
The housekeeper told Liang Xi: The count and many other major members of the European Skull and Bones Society are detective fans, and they planned the blood moon invitation. Liang Xi just listened to this information, because he found that the housekeeper didn't know much. After questioning, he learned that this
The butler is the butler of the earl's third son, and was temporarily assigned to Blood Moon Castle to receive guests. Blood Moon Castle has no other staff except security guards, and it has been prepared for two weeks to receive guests.
Liang Xi's residence is a three-story house covering an area of 50 square meters, which is actually part of the castle. All guests will be arranged on the south wall, which is the bottom side of the rectangular castle. According to the housekeeper, the Blood Moon Case
The most distinctive features are cases that actually happened and are unknown. Some cases even happened three or four centuries ago.
The three-story house is relatively narrow, but it is well-equipped with all kinds of modern household appliances. There is a small dining room, a small kitchen, and a small bedroom on the first floor. There is a full-time maid in charge. You can just give a command anytime you want to eat. The second floor
It is the bedroom. The third floor is the game room, with a pool table, table football, etc. From the third floor, you can walk directly to the city wall. Standing on the city wall, you can enjoy the beautiful white beach and the boundless sea.
The city wall was also covered with an awning and placed with tables and chairs. Guests could bask in the sun, eat here, and communicate with surrounding neighbors.
Liang Xi stood on the wall and remembered the treasure map he had seen in John's secret room. He was not sure that the treasure map was real. Maybe John had participated in a treasure hunt in Blood Moon Castle. Judging from the writing of Blood Moon Castle,
Treasure hunting activities will definitely not be about temporarily buried treasures, but about looking for ancient artifacts that have been hidden for many years.
A maid took a deck chair to the city wall, and the old lady lay down on the deck chair with the support of another maid. The maids put the refreshments on the table next to the old lady, leaving a maid standing at the entrance from the house to the city wall.
Respond to the old lady's greetings at any time.
Damn it, why do I only have one maid? Is it discrimination? I am a person with a dog-head mask. Just think about it, how could Liang Xi care about an old lady? As a detective, Liang Xi knew who the old lady was. She
Her name is Sasha, she is a very famous British suspense novelist. It is said that she was once invited by the Metropolitan Police Department to solve a serial murder case.
Why is it said? Because the Metropolitan Police did ask the old lady for help, but the old lady didn't play a big role, but it is said that it worked. Who knows, writers like to brag when they have nothing to do, so just listen to it.
As a detective, Liang Xi knew that novelists and detectives were different. For example, in Conan, the novelist was close to Conan's level of reasoning, which was unfair. The novelist first designed the case, the circumstances of the case, and then buried the clues, step by step until the original crime occurred. Detective
The steps are the opposite, starting from the incident, reasoning and investigating step by step, and finally finding the truth of the case.
The young lady wore a big-brimmed hat and walked to the city wall, letting the wind blow her long skirt. The young lady stood on tiptoe of her left foot, holding the brim of the hat with one hand and looking towards the sea in the distance. Her movements matched the scene with her simple clothes.
, it seems that she has very classical beauty. Classical beauty is for appreciation. Compared with classical beauty, Liang Xi prefers swimsuit beauty.
Just like Mount Everest, it looks so majestic and high! But when Liang Xi appreciates the majesty of Mount Everest, he will not climb Mount Everest. He would rather embrace the sea. Classical beauty is for appreciation, not suitable
Get close to someone. If you get close to someone and take off their clothes or take off their pants, you won't find any trace of classical style, and naturally there will be no classical beauty.
Next on the city wall was a handsome young man wearing aristocratic clothing. At this time, Liang Xi felt something was wrong. Why were everyone dressed so classically? His suit, trousers and leather shoes seemed out of place. However,
The appearance of a muscular man in a T-shirt gave Liang Xi an instant confidence. Compared to this man's sloppy look, his own clothes would definitely not be at the bottom.
…
Lunch was prepared by the maid, and all the guests were invited to the restaurant during dinner. A total of six people participated in the blood moon invitation this time, namely the old lady, the classical woman, the classical man, the middle-aged muscular man, the middle-aged fat man and Liang Xi.
A man in his fifties wearing a butler's attire first introduced himself. He was the butler of the Earl's Manor and the person in charge of this blood moon invitation. Then he raised a glass to welcome the arrival of the six people.
Liang Xiju's water stood out among the others. Liang Xiju explained: "I have been taking cephalosporins in recent years and cannot drink alcohol."
The housekeeper didn't take it seriously and began to introduce the guests. The strong man, the middle-aged man and Liang Xi belonged to the same type, they were the successors. They had participated in the blood moon invitation before and were qualified to be invited again, that is, after the case was over
They have at least five silver coins in their hands. The classical man, the classical woman and the old lady Shasha are the special guests.
Special guests have two gold coins. If there are five silver coins left in the end, they will become heir guests and can receive blood moon invitations an unlimited number of times. The premise is that at least five silver coins must be left at the end of each invitation.
After the identity of the special guest was announced, Liang Xi was quite surprised. The classical girl is the real little princess of Belgium (the daughter of the king's daughter). Although the King of Belgium has no use, she is really the biological daughter of the King of Belgium. The classical boy is from Denmark.
The little prince (the son of the king's brother's son). This is the first time for these two people to participate in the blood moon invitation. According to the butler, they have liked reasoning since they were young, and they have worked together to solve an unsolved case.
This story begins when the two met for the first time, chatted and left their communication information. After paying attention to the other party, they found out that the other party was also a formal member of the European Mystery Club. The prince wanted to get close to the princess, so he asked someone to get a copy of the Danish Unsolved Cases
Went to Belgium to meet the princess, the two studied the case together, went to Denmark to investigate together, and finally captured the real murderer.
The brawny man was the boss of a construction company in his early years. After running a detective agency for three years, he changed his job to a worker in the construction company. Hearing the brawny man introduce himself in this way, Liang Xi was particularly touched and said that after half a year of opening his detective agency, he only had a total of
The strong man asked how Liang Xi could persist. Liang Xi told the strong man that he worked part-time as a stall owner and a part-time translator. The strong man was impressed and the two hit it off at first sight. The strong man introduced himself formally, his name was
Anthony, a Croatian.
The butler politely waited for Liang Xi and Anthony to finish their rude conversation, and then introduced the sixth guest. The middle-aged man's name was House, and he was a detective. Unlike Liang Xi and Anthony, the detective agency he opened was
Private detective agency, capturing fourth parties, stalking boyfriends and girlfriends, character investigations, etc. Liang Xi did not know House, but he knew House’s Shadow Detective Agency in London. It is a very famous private detective agency. It is said that many celebrities have connections with this agency.
The detective agency has business dealings.
A prince, a princess, a writer, a former detective, a part-time detective, and a private detective, these are all the guests invited to this blood moon.
Since the prince, princess and writer were special guests for the first time and participated in the blood moon invitation for the first time, they directly received two gold coins. Liang Xi couldn't understand, what was John doing? How did he earn one gold coin?
The steward explained the use of gold coins. After the case starts tomorrow morning, the steward will have many questions. If the steward is satisfied with the answer, he can get various amounts of gold and silver coins. If the steward is dissatisfied with the answer, a certain number of gold and silver coins will be deducted. The steward declares
, there may be some changes in the invitation rules this time.
The butler will first tell you the background of the story: the case occurred in 1936 at an island villa ten kilometers away from Brighton. The island became the Allied naval branch during World War II and is now beyond recognition. The butler can only simulate the island as much as possible
A real case that happened.
Liang Xi asked: "Have you finally caught the murderer?"
The steward replied: "This question requires a gold coin."
"Fuck."
The strong man looked at Liang Xi: "What do you mean?"
"Surprised." Liang Xi didn't know how to explain it. "Fuck" can be understood in various ways depending on the tone of voice. Or it doesn't matter if you don't study. "Fuck" can be used all over the world.
The housekeeper asked Liang Xi, and Liang Xi replied: "I won't ask anymore."
During the dinner, the butler neither talked too much nor too little, trying to keep the dinner as calm as possible. The prince and princess chatted in a stylish manner, their voices were neither too loud nor too quiet, and their laughter was controlled. The old lady only talked to the butler most of the time.
A small amount of time was spent savoring delicious food. The middle-aged man Haos had an attitude that he didn't want to know anyone. Only Liang Xi and Anthony were very chatty, and their laughter from time to time made them the center of attention.
After dinner, Liang Xi returned to his bedroom. His first judgment: The strong man is a person of status. He pretends to be bold and rough, but in fact he has a delicate heart. Judging from his hand movements, in addition to muscles and strength, he also has cleverness.
The wrists and fingers are very flexible. The second judgment: The old lady seemed to be chatting with the housekeeper, but in fact she listened to everyone's conversations. Her hearing was quite good, but she lacked a sense of participation. The third judgment: The prince did not like the princess, and the princess did not
I like the prince. The fourth judgment: The strong man and the middle-aged man are defensive to each other. It seems that there was a conflict between the two during the last invitation.
Liang Xi never expected that the gentle, cheerful, and handsome prince in brocade clothes would actually spit out sweet things when he had nothing to do. He thought he was the best in the world. When he saw Liang Xi, Thresh's first thought was
It was fright: Fa Ke, you are here. The second thought: Fa Ke You, why should he participate in the blood moon invitation with me? The third thought: Fa Ke You Rabbit, as far as solving the case is concerned, I don’t seem to be able to handle him.
