Chapter 141 Blood Moon Invitation
Consistent with Liang Xi's prediction, the invitation letter to Blood Moon Castle is the detective invitation letter.This time, there will be six detectives from various countries participating in the invitation.Gold coins are chips that can be exchanged for 10 silver coins.When you make a correct guess, you will be rewarded, and when you make a wrong guess, chips will be deducted depending on the question.After the case is over, only guests with more than 5 silver coins can get the next invitation letter.

Liang Xi couldn't understand the meaning of the detective invitation letter.

The butler explained the meaning: "Each gold coin can be exchanged for 100 million pounds."

This is very interesting.

The butler said: "Gold coins are called wishing gold coins. You can make a request to the castle owner that is not worth more than a million pounds and is not seriously illegal. For example, if you don't like your boss, he will soon cease to be your boss. For example, if you want to sleep with a woman, sorry, this request cannot be fulfilled. But people prefer to buy information with gold coins."

The housekeeper knew that Liang Xi was a rookie, so he told Liang Xi that you could use a gold coin to ask any question you wanted to know.If unable to answer, or still unable to answer after investigation, gold coins will be refunded.

Liang Xi asked curiously, "What information do people buy?"

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. 24 hours, we can only wait for the next invitation."

Liang Xi understood a little bit, and said, "The few gold coins I have in hand must first pass the case before I can be eligible to buy information?"

The butler nodded: "Yes."

Liang Xi asked: "Excuse me, isn't the so-called owner of the castle 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, an English earl, very rich, and has many powerful friends all over the world."

Liang Xi asked again: "Are gold coins worth much?"

The housekeeper said, "I can't answer this question."

Liang Xi asked, "Can I sell it to someone else?"

The butler nodded: "Of course."

Liang Xi had a lot of questions: "Aren't you worried that I will reveal the Blood Moon Castle, Wishing Gold Coins and Skull and Bones to the media and the public?"

The butler replied: "Of course you can break the news."

so refreshing?That's right, the European Skull and Bones Society is a legal society, what impact can you have after breaking the news?
The butler added: "After entering the castle, all electronic devices of the guests must be temporarily taken away. Although the castle owner doesn't care that people know about Blood Moon Castle, he also doesn't want too many people discussing Blood Moon Castle."

The housekeeper said: "The above is the invitation letter that I can explain. Do you have any other requests or questions, Mr. Liang?"

Liang Xi replied, "Not for the time being."

The housekeeper asked, "Mr. Liang, is he participating in the Blood Moon invitation?"

"Of course I want to participate." Maybe you can directly ask the murderer who killed John.As for Thresh's gang, it's not worth a gold coin at all, okay?What's the problem?Do aliens really exist?Not interested in.What is the world like after death?It is estimated that the other party will not be able to answer.So my goal is just to keep a gold coin.

……

Chatting with the butler all the way, Liang Xi confirmed that the European Skull and Bones Society didn't care that outsiders knew of their existence.Just like the Skull and Bones Society of America, there have been several presidents and business leaders.In addition, elites from all walks of life abound.Some people think that the so-called Skull and Bones Society is nonsense, some people think it is nothing special, and some people draft articles and videos about "Unraveling the Truth about the Biggest Secret Society of the Century" Skull and Bones Society, boasting about their skills and earning a lot of money.

To say that secret societies in Europe are very common, from the monasteries in film and television themes, to the Finnish Brotherhood, the Merchant Hanseatic League, the Club of Rome, the Bilderburg Order, and the Knights of Columbus in reality.There is also the famous Freemasonry that must be mentioned. It is said that the Freemasonry is suspected of colluding with aliens.The above-mentioned secret societies are most attractive because of their secrets, but in fact there are no secrets at all.For example, at the peak of Freemasonry, there were 6 million members, and the possibility of keeping 6 million members secret is infinitely close to zero.

So the so-called secret society is not mysterious at all, but as long as it does not break the law.Before World War II, Hiller ordered the banning of Freemasonry in Germany, so Freemasonry in Germany was banned because the law stipulated that Freemasonry was illegal.

The butler told Liang Xi: The Earl and other major members of the European Skull and Bones are detective fans, and they planned the blood moon invitation.Liang Xi listened to this information for the time being, because he found that the housekeeper didn't know much.The inquiry revealed that the butler was the butler of the third son of the earl, and was temporarily dispatched to Bloodmoon Castle to receive guests.Except for the security guards, Blood Moon Castle has no other staff members, and it has been preparing for two weeks to receive guests.

Liang Xi's residence is a three-story house covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, which is actually a part of the castle.All the guests will be arranged on the south wall, which is the bottom side of the rectangular castle.According to the butler, the most distinctive feature of the Blood Moon case is the fact that it actually happened, an unknown case.Some cases are even three or four centuries ago.

The three-story house is relatively narrow, but it has all kinds of internal organs and all kinds of modern 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, and you can just ask for something to eat at any time.The second floor is the bedroom.The third floor is a game room with pool tables, table football, etc.From the third floor, you can go directly to the city wall. Standing on the city wall, you can enjoy the beautiful white sandy beach and the boundless sea.

The city wall is also covered with an awning, and there are tables and chairs, where guests can bask in the sun, eat here, and communicate with the surrounding neighbors.

Liang Xi stood on the top of the wall, remembering the treasure map he had seen in John's secret room, maybe that treasure map was real.Perhaps John participated in a treasure hunt at Bloodmoon Castle.Judging from the handwriting of Blood Moon Castle, the treasure hunt will definitely not be a temporary buried treasure, it should be a search for ancient relics that have been dusty for many years.

A maid took the reclining chair to the city wall, and the old lady was lying on the reclining chair with the support of another maid.The maids put the refreshments on the table next to the old lady, leaving one maid standing at the entrance from the house to the city wall to respond to the old lady's greetings at any time.

Damn, why do I only have one maid?Discriminate?I'm the one with the dog mask.Just think about it, how could Liang Xi care about an old man.As a detective, Liang Xi knew who the old lady was.Her name is Sasha, and she is a well-known British suspense novelist. It is said that she was once invited by the Metropolitan Police to solve a serial murder case.

Why is it said?Because the London Metropolitan Police Department did ask the old lady for help, but the old lady didn't play a big role, but it is said to have a role.Who knows, writers like to brag when they have nothing to do, so let's just listen to it.

As a detective, Liang Xi knew that a novelist was different from a detective.It is wrong that the novelist in Conan is close to Conan's reasoning level.The novelist first designs the case, the case, and then buries the clues, step by step to the original case.The steps of a detective are the opposite, starting from the incident, reasoning and tracing step by step, and finally finding the truth of the case.

The young lady walked to the city wall wearing a big-brimmed hat, letting the wind blow her long skirt.The young lady stood on tiptoe of her left foot, held the brim of her hat in one hand and looked at the sea in the distance.Her actions and a simple costume match the scene, making her very classically beautiful.Classical beauty is for appreciation, and Liang Xi prefers swimsuit beauty to classical beauty.

Like Mount Everest, it looks so majestic and high!But when Liang Xi admired the magnificence of Mount Everest, he would not climb Mount Everest, he would rather embrace the sea.Classical beauties are for appreciation, not for closeness.When you get close to someone and pick off their clothes and take off their pants, you can't find any traces of classicism, and naturally there is no classic beauty.

Next to the city wall was a handsome young man in aristocratic attire. At this time, Liang Xi vaguely felt something was wrong.Why is everyone dressed so classically?His suit, trousers and leather shoes don't seem to fit in well.However, the appearance of a muscular man in a T-shirt gave Liang Xi instant confidence. Compared with this man's rough attire, his clothes would definitely not be at the bottom.

……

Lunch was prepared by the maid, and at dinner all the guests were invited to the dining room.This time, a total of six people participated in the blood moon invitation, namely the old lady, classic woman, classic man, middle-aged muscular man, middle-aged fat man and Liang Xi.A man about 50 years old wearing a butler's costume first introduced himself. He is the butler of the Earl's Manor and the person in charge of this blood moon invitation. Then he raised his glass to welcome the arrival of the six people.

Liang Xiju's water was particularly eye-catching among several people. Liang Xi explained: "I have been taking cephalosporins for the past few years and cannot drink alcohol."

The butler didn't take it seriously and started to introduce the guests.Strong men, middle-aged men and Liang Xi belong to the same type, and they are the successors.They had participated in the Blood Moon invitation before, and were eligible to be invited again, that is, they had at least five silver coins in their hands after the case was over.Classic Man, Classic Woman and Old Lady Salsa are the special guests.

The special guests have two gold coins, and if five silver coins are left in the end, they will become successor guests and can receive blood moon invitations for an unlimited number of times, provided that at least five silver coins are left after each invitation ends.

Liang Xi was quite surprised when the identity of the special guest was announced. The classic girl is the real little princess of Belgium (the daughter of the king's daughter). Although the king of Belgium is useless, she is really the granddaughter of the king of Belgium.The classic man is the little prince of Denmark (the son of the king's brother's son).It was the first time for these two people to participate in the blood moon invitation. According to the housekeeper, they liked to reason since they were young, and they worked together to solve an outstanding case.

This story begins when the two meet for the first time, chatting and leaving a way of communication.After paying attention to the other party's death, he found out that the other party is also an official member of the European Reasoning Club.The prince wanted to get close to the princess, so he asked someone to take a Danish unsolved case and go to Belgium to meet the princess. The two studied the case together, went to Denmark to investigate, and finally caught the real murderer.

The brawny man was the boss of a construction company in his early years, but after running a detective agency for three years, he changed his job to be a worker of the construction company.Hearing that the strong man introduced himself in this way, Liang Xi was particularly touched and said that his detective agency opened for half a year, and only 21 pounds were recorded in total.The strong man questioned how Liang Xi persisted. Liang Xi told the strong man to work part-time, set up a stall and translate part-time.The strong man admired him very much. When the two hit it off, the strong man formally introduced himself. His name is Anthony, a Croatian.

The butler was very polite and waited for Liang Xi and Anthony to finish their impolite chat before introducing the sixth guest.The middle-aged man's name is House, and he is a detective.Unlike Liang Xi and Anthony, the detective agency he opened is a private detective agency, capturing fourth parties, stalking male and female girlfriends, conducting moral investigations, and so on.Liang Xi didn't know House, but he knew House's Shadow Detective Agency in London.A very famous private detective agency, it is said that many celebrities have business dealings with this detective agency.

A prince, a princess, a writer, a former detective, a part-time detective, and a private eye are all the guests invited for this Blood Moon.

Since the prince, princess and writer are the first time special guests, the first time to participate in the blood moon invitation, because they directly get two gold coins.Liang Xi couldn't understand, what was John doing?How to earn a gold coin?

The butler explained the use of gold coins. After the case starts tomorrow morning, the butler will have a lot of questions. If the butler is satisfied with the answer, he can get gold and silver coins of varying amounts. If the butler is not satisfied with the answer, a certain amount of gold and silver coins will be deducted.The housekeeper stated that there may be some changes in the invitation rules this time.

The housekeeper first told everyone the background of the story: the case happened in 1936, at an island villa ten kilometers away from Brighton.The island, which served as a branch of the Allied Navy during World War II, has changed beyond recognition.The butler can only simulate as much as possible what actually happened on the island at that time.

Liang Xi asked, "Has the murderer been finally caught?"

The steward replied: "This question requires a gold coin."

"Fuck."

The strong man looked at Liang Xi: "What do you mean?"

"Amazing." Liang Xi didn't know how to explain.Fuck, it can have various interpretations depending on the tone of voice.Or it doesn't matter if you don't study, the word "fuck" is enough to travel the world.

The housekeeper asked to see Liang Xi, and Liang Xi replied, "No more."

During the dinner, the butler didn't talk too much, and tried his best to keep the dinner from happening.The prince and princess chatted very stylishly, their voices were moderate, and they controlled their laughter.The old lady only talks to the housekeeper most of the time, and tastes delicious food a small part of the time.The middle-aged man House has an attitude that he doesn't want to know anyone.Only Liang Xi and Anthony chatted very well, and their laughter from time to time made them the focus.

After dinner, Liang Xi returned to his bedroom.The first judgment: a strong man is a person of status, purely bold and rough in appearance, but actually delicate in heart.Judging from its hand movements, in addition to muscles and strength, it also has ingenuity, and its wrists and fingers are very flexible.The second judgment: The old lady seemed to be chatting with the housekeeper by herself, but she actually listened to everyone's conversations. Her listening skills were quite good, but she lacked a sense of participation.The third judgment: the prince does not like the princess, and the princess does not like the prince.The fourth judgment: The strong man and the middle-aged man are defensive towards each other. It seems that there was a conflict between the two during the last invitation.

Liang Xi never imagined that the gentle, talkative, handsome and handsome prince in brocade clothes would actually speak fragrantly when he had nothing to do, and he thought himself the number one Thresh in the world.When he saw Liang Xi, Thresh's first thought was to be frightened: Fake, he's at your door.Second thought: Fa Keyou, why should he participate in the blood moon invitation with himself?The third thought: Fake Oil Rabbit, as far as solving the case is concerned, I don't seem to be able to handle him.

　Thanks to the lord 'uaquarius' for his great love, I would like to add more to show my gratitude.
