Chapter 530 Funeral

Modo asked: "Do you have a clearer view now?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Based on your point of view, I think there are two groups of people behind the scenes, and some large and small cases that have happened in London and even Europe in the past few years are related to them. I have never been sure who is behind the scenes, because I always think that the devil There can only be one. If there are two demon kings, then things can be sorted out easily."

"The first demon king, the president of the Dark Society. The purpose of the Dark Society is the European Datong, so that the business they control can spread throughout Europe and become the world's largest economy. The Holy Banner is directly related to it. He hopes to pass the Holy Banner Attack London, thereby separating Scotland and Northern Ireland. If these two places are separated, England's position in Europe will become insignificant." Liang Xi said: "This devil controls the blood moon, and his foundation is very good. Someone There are benefits in the place where he is, and when he was flourishing, a second demon king was born, and we assume that the second demon king is named Xiaomo."

Liang Xidao: "The little devil launched the Silencer Project with the purpose of controlling the Dark Society. At the beginning, everything went smoothly. The Silent Man operatives went undercover to known members of the Dark Society, and some even became the spouses of Dark Society members. Seeing someone move The big devil quit his own cake, maybe he leaked the secret, which caused Germany and France to intervene in the Silencer plan. Of course, the little devil was unwilling to hand over his achievements to Germany and France, so the Mal gang defected and killed all the German and French agents As soon as the big demon saw that there was something wrong, he immediately cleaned the dark society. After the confrontation between the two sides, the big demon suffered a loss, and he was given a lot of information by the little devil. The little devil didn't take advantage of it, not only had to face endless Trouble, I have to check and make up for the omissions.”

Liang Xi said: "During the continuous battle between big and small devils, the big devil's plan to attack London with the Holy Banner failed repeatedly, making his big plan impossible to carry out. The little devil is working hard to wipe his ass, desperately trying to cover up the fact of the silent man's plan. The female devil leader Hannah found an opportunity to take advantage of, pretended to obey when the big devil was weak, and obtained the identity of the blood moon elder with the help of the big devil. Unexpectedly, the big devil had a great appetite and kicked the big devil away. The people who are in the blood moon are planning to annex the blood moon. I don't know the details, and I still haven't figured out what happened to the earl of the blood moon and the steward of the blood moon."

Modo smiled: "Where is John? Is John getting involved in the big devil, or the little devil, or the female devil's affairs before encountering misfortune?"

Liang Xidao: "Subjectively, I think it has something to do with the little devil. Judging from the clues and John's last words, it seems that this matter has something to do with the big devil. Oh... Mal is the dead man raised by the little devil. The big devil's defense tore a big hole, allowing the female devil to take advantage of it."

Moduo said: "Hey, Liang Xi, don't digress, your mission and focus is John, John. It's not for you to worry about the Dark Society and Blood Moon. They are just tools for you to find the real culprit, and should not be what attracts you Dangerous quicksand."

Liang Xi asked Modo: "What should I do?"

Moduo said: "When you understand that there are two groups of people behind the scenes, with the information resources you have, you can completely make them fight. You need a plan, a perfect plan. However, you are British, and Xiaomo may It's a British institution or group, I believe Xiaomo is doing all this for the benefit of the UK, do you really want to fight against Xiaomo?"

Liang Xi hesitated: "Not sure, unless they killed John. Otherwise, I won't meddle in my own business."

Modo nodded: "It's good if you can understand this. The Princess of the Holy Banner is the target you should care about. Even if it has nothing to do with John's death, getting rid of the Princess of the Holy Banner is a good deed for mankind."

Liang Xidao: "It is said that Modo, as a nobleman, you have a pretty good relationship with Earl Blood Moon."

Modo shook his head again and again: "No no. In the daily communication of European nobles, on the surface, everyone has a good relationship with anyone. But I agree with you, the blood moon steward will not betray the blood moon earl so cleanly and thoroughly. Doesn't make sense at all. You're right too. Don't go the way John did. John caused death and he didn't solve the problem. If you bet on the blood moon count, I don't think you can get it right. Answer. You have to pay attention to the objective facts, John’s contact with the Holy Banner was only a few months from the beginning to the end, and the information he can grasp is far lower than you.”

Modo: "I hate one sentence the most: the wisdom of the ancients is not comparable to that of modern people. I think human beings have always been progressing. John's age has caused him to disconnect from the technological age. He, like me, is separated from the emerging products of technology. Keep the thinking of the age of industrial machinery. As a new generation of detectives, don’t let an old man like me solidify your direction.”

Liang Xi nodded and said modestly: "The experience of the predecessors is also a textbook for future generations to learn from."

Modo was noncommittal. During the conversation between the two, Anka, the adoptive housekeeper of Modo, brought a blanket, kissed Modo on the cheek and left.So the two chatted about Anka.During the period, Liang Xi read some unusual information from Moduo's expression and words.On the one hand, Modo said that he had arranged Anka, but Liang Xi found that he didn't know how to arrange Anka.

……

That night, a royal guest, a prince, visited Modo on behalf of the royal family.Liang Xi doesn't like etiquette, so Anka accompanied Liang Xi and his wife to dinner.During the dinner, Anka told many stories about Modo.Modoben is an adventurer, every cell in his body calls him to explore the unknown world.But the earl and the manor locked his ideals like shackles, so his words of encouragement to young people are: be yourself.Do what you want until you are free.Anka also revealed a piece of information that the young Modo is very keen on participating in civil society activities.

The next morning, capsules for euthanasia were delivered to the estate.Modo did not eat breakfast with Liang Xi and the others, but had a meal outside alone with Anka. During the meal, the staff of the manor gathered one after another.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, after Modo shook hands with everyone, hugged and bid farewell, he entered the capsule under everyone's gaze.As time passed by, Modo never pressed the button, which made the people at the scene extremely sad.Even if it is my own choice, I am a wise old man, and when facing death, I still have nostalgia for the world and life.

More than [-] minutes later, Modo finally pressed the injection button, and as the exterior lights came on, everyone embraced and wept.Two full-time staff waited for a few minutes and then went to the capsule warehouse for operation.When Liang Xi saw Modo again, he was already lying in the coffin.There was a contented and happy smile on his face. Obviously, the delay of more than [-] minutes was not because he was afraid of death and did not press the button. He reviewed his life alone and quietly in more than [-] minutes.He is also lucky, he has too many happy things to remember.

In the afternoon, all the children and grandchildren of Modo returned to the villa, and they could see their love for Modo.Perhaps because of the deep feelings, Modo didn't want them to see him leave, and he didn't want them to witness the process of him leaving.

In the evening of that day, the number of guests gradually increased. Some guests even brought their own camping tents, just to attend Modo's funeral tomorrow morning.Among the many guests, Liang Xi met his acquaintance: Ristone.

Riston came alone, very low-key, wearing a camouflage raincoat and carrying a large backpack. His dress like a mountain climber was incompatible with most of the serious and serious guests.Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, it was like daylight near the manor.Ristone originally wanted to camp at the edge of darkness and light in the villa for one night, but he didn't expect a couple to occupy the magpie's nest and bite each other's lips selflessly.Ristone was a little embarrassed, and wanted to change places, but the girl who was startled by her footsteps, the boy looked back and said in surprise, "Listone?"

"Ah?" Ristone: "Why are you here?" I planned to find a place to rest, well, now I have to be polite, maybe I have to chat for a while.Ristone and Liang Xi are different kinds of people.Seeing Liang Xi, Ristone's first consideration was trouble, not suspicion: why is he here?
Liang Xi took Karin's hand and stood up: "My girlfriend, Karin. Karin, he is Ristone. You don't even have a girlfriend?"

Riston wondered why he became angry when he heard him speak, and replied in a demeanor: "There is no need to bring a girlfriend to the funeral, right?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "As long as there is a woman next to you, you can't let you dress so casually to attend a funeral."

Reese Channel: "I just came to say goodbye to an old man, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Liang Xi said: "So I speculate that you don't have a girlfriend, because your girlfriend will definitely tell you that something is wrong."

Ristone disdain: "What kind of bullshit theory."

Liang Xi asked, "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Ristone replied helplessly, and immediately said, "But I will never lack women by my side."

Liang Xi nodded: "Okay, I see, do you want to camp? This place belongs to you."

Seeing Liang Xi's polite tone, Ristone was a little embarrassed: "I can change places."

"No, no." Liang Xi said, "We live in the guest room."

Ristone just couldn't hear what Liang Xi said.During the formal conversation between the two on the cruise ship, Ristone always felt that he was dumb, but he couldn't tell where he was suffering.However, Liang Xi is a polite and frail man, so he has no reason to be violent.

Ristone said provocatively, "How much did you earn last time?"

Liang Xi replied: "Five or six thousand, how about you?"

This is the uncomfortable part. Originally, Ristone wanted Liang Xi's girlfriend and Liang Xi to have an in-depth discussion about money. Maybe Liang Xi concealed his money so that they could quarrel.But I didn't expect Liang Xi not only to answer very readily, but also to ask a question.This rhetorical question is particularly heart-wrenching. The situation of Ristone and Anthony is similar. They are both employed and paid. No matter how good their performance is, they can only get some extra performance bonuses.

After Liang Xi answered the question, he had to answer, and he didn't bother to lie. Reese said, "One hundred."

Liang Xi couldn't believe it at first, then his face twitched, he suppressed a smile, and confirmed to Ristone: "1 million euros?"

Ristone felt insulted and emphasized: "After tax." 1 million is a lot, okay?

Liang Xi didn't discuss this issue: "Let's talk later, goodbye."

Karin nodded to Liston, and left hand in hand with Liang Xi. Just a few steps away, two people in suits came up to meet them. They showed their IDs to show that they were the staff of the Swedish security department.Since many celebrities and dignitaries will attend Modo's funeral tomorrow, they will investigate everyone's identity.

They took a look at Liang Xi and Karin's passports and returned them, politely refusing to bother them.But he was not so polite to Ristone. He not only checked the passport, but also took out a notepad and asked him a dozen questions.

Ristone didn't care, took out the sleeping bag hanging on the backpack and laid it on the ground, used a piece of wood as a pillow, pulled down the blindfold, put his hands on his chest, and seemed to fall asleep soon.

Liang Xi, who returned to the guest room, deliberately went to the window of the corridor to observe Riston quietly for 5 minutes before returning to the guest room. It is only [-]:[-] in the evening, and Riston is the first person to sleep among all the guests and staff. .No one paid attention to him, and he ignored others, just sleeping on his own.

Liang Xi returned to the guest room and said to Karin: "I smell a strange smell in the air."

……

Under the influence of the British constitutional monarchy, many countries in Europe have implemented this system, and therefore retained many royal families.The royal family exchanged the right to survive in exchange for political power. Even in modern times, the royal family still has a relatively large influence on the people.In the royal system, someone must attend the funeral of a hereditary earl, such as the representative of the Swedish royal family, the local mayor, etc.In addition, the nobles pay attention to blood marriage, and the relatives of the earl may come from all over the world, and they are all decent people in society.

In addition to celebrities and politicians, Modo himself has influence in certain fields. He has liked to make friends since he was young. More than half of the people who attended today's funeral have no relationship with nobles.

Among all the guests, the most eye-catching is a nearly 50 years old silver-haired male fat man, his name is Coster, and he is a famous military industry leader in Northern Europe.Don't underestimate Sweden's small land area, small population, and long-term peace, but Swedish weapons, especially large-caliber artillery, are very popular in the mid-to-high-end market around the world.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Coster, who arrived by helicopter, immediately became the target of everyone's attention.His appearance is equivalent to raising the standard of the funeral to a higher level. Compared with the six successors separated by the royal prince, it seems so insignificant.Three helicopters came down with twelve bodyguards. After clearing a field, Coster's helicopter landed slowly, and greeted Coster, the eldest son of Modo, who was about to inherit the Earl's position.

From a distance, Coster held the hand of Modo's eldest son and kept talking, and patted his shoulder. It can be seen that Coster and Modo's family have a lot of friendship.Liang Xi turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Ristone's shadow. Liang Xi whispered in Karin's ear: "We don't worship, stay away from funerals, and stay away from Coster."

Karin asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Xi said: "It smells like an assassination." If Coster was assassinated, no one would be surprised.It is said that the Americans once negotiated with Coster, hoping to allow the Americans to inject capital and control the list of countries where Coster sells weapons to a certain extent.But Coster refused.Israel once warned Coster not to sell weapons to his hostile countries, but Coster still didn't take it seriously.

Coster and Liang Xi belong to two different extremes. Liang Xi wanders among various forces and does not openly violate their core interests in order to protect themselves.Coaster needs a strong security system to protect its own safety.

Karin retained the observation ability of the secret agent profession, and she told Liang Xi that there was no suitable sniper point nearby.The Swedish police have maintained order since last night, checking the identities of some guests, and are very vigilant.No sniper point means that it is difficult to assassinate remotely, and high vigilance means that it is difficult to get close to Coster.Therefore, Karin doesn't take seriously Liang Xi's idea of ​​smelling assassination just by wrinkling his nose.
