Chapter 531 Funeral

Because too many guests came, Anka didn't have time to entertain Liang Xi. Modo's children didn't know Liang Xi, nor did they know the friendship between Liang Xi and Modo.At [-]:[-] in the morning, Liang Xi and Karin packed up their things and left the guest room.After the funeral today, there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done. When the time comes, there will be fewer guests, but the number of staff will increase instead.

Pulling up their luggage, the two walked to the reception desk at the entrance of the manor, and were about to ask if there was a vehicle that could take them down the mountain.At this time, a convoy of four vehicles arrived at the reception, and the police detective went up to question him routinely. The rear window of the second car was lowered, and Hannah, who was sitting in the back seat, had a few words with the police detective. He signaled to let him go, and specially used hand gestures to guide the parking position.

Liang Xi turned around and didn't want Hannah to know that he was there, but he didn't expect that he had already been seen.The second car stopped beside Liang Xi. Hannah, who was wearing a black veil hat, explained to her daughter, Kou Kou, who was in the same car, got out of the car by herself, took off the white gloves on her hand with one hand, and shook hands with Liang Xi: " haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see, Miss Hannah is still so beautiful." Although Hannah has a daughter, as long as she is not married, she is still a miss.

"Karin." Hannah nodded slightly, without politeness.

Karin responded: "Hi Miss Hannah."

Liang Xi asked curiously: "Miss Hannah knows Modo?"

Hannah nodded, looked at Liang Xi strangely, and asked, "As Modo's year-end friend, don't you know Modo's background?"

Liang Xi asked, "Should I know?"

Hannah smiled, and said: "Modo is the predecessor of Blood Moon, a veteran of the European Skull and Bones Society, and also a full member of the Dark Society, and the son-in-law of the Clement family."

"Fuck!" Liang Xi was stunned immediately.

Hannah saw Coste and his group walk from the gate of the manor main building on the left side of the church to the church on the side, so she waved lightly to signal Liang Xi to follow, and walked towards the church by herself.Karin took the luggage and went to rest. Liang Xi followed Hannah's footsteps. Hannah seemed to know what Liang Xi was thinking, and said as she walked, "Although Modo is a formal member of the Dark Society, he is joining the Dark Society on behalf of Blood Moon." Just as the Dark Society arranged for its own people to become the elders of the Blood Moon, Modo did not officially participate in the affairs of the Dark Society. 12 years ago, Modo resigned from all positions and no longer has any contact with Blood Moon and Darkness."

funny!I actually told Modo so many things about the Dark Society and the Blood Moon.Oh?In this way, Modo's opinions and suggestions to himself are quite objective, and he has given himself guidance.I said to myself why he said everything on the point, it turned out to be cheating.Haha, no wonder he denies the words of reverence he has for him.Haha, the dead old man is still a little ashamed.

Facing Hannah's frankness, Liang Xi hesitated for half a second before saying, "I suggest you not to attend the funeral, you can send a representative."

"Oh?" Hannah stopped and asked, "Why?"

Liang Xi said: "There is no basis, I feel that something happened at the funeral today."

Hannah suddenly realized: "No wonder you ran away with a bucket early in the morning."

Liang Xi said: "The fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond. I have talked with Moduo and watched him leave this world. There is no need to attend his funeral."

Hannah asked, "Any evidence? Or basic clues?"

"No."

Hannah said: "I thought I would give up my itinerary because of one of your feelings?"

Liang Xi thought for a while: "Maybe."

Hannah smiled, a rare inappropriate smile, and asked, "Why did you tell me?"

Liang Xi replied: "Although you are very domineering, I don't think you are very bad. Since guessing is dangerous, and I happened to meet you, I should tell you."

Hannah nodded and said, "You rest on the side for a while, and I will send a car to take you down the mountain."

Hannah could actually take the vehicle directly to the manor, and she got off beside Liang Xi. Liang Xi guessed that one of the purposes was to say hello to herself.Another purpose is to walk to the chapel next to the manor. Walking represents respect for Modo and sincerity.Perhaps there is a third purpose, sitting for too long, to come down and rest for a while.It may also be an urgency to find a toilet.

Liang Xi stayed where he was, and Hannah stepped forward to hug the Modo daughter who greeted her, and Hannah held her hand and talked with her.After a while, Kou Kou and four bodyguards arrived, Hannah introduced Kou Kou to Modo's daughter, and the three walked to the chapel together.At this time, Liang Xi saw Ristone, who was wearing a set of funeral staff uniform, about 15 meters away from Hannah, and followed Hannah's footsteps side by side.Ristone could use trees and shrubs to cover up his whereabouts. If Liang Xi hadn't gone to find him on purpose, it would be difficult to find the connection between Ristone and Hannah.

Modo's remains are in the mourning hall behind the chapel hall, and a grave has been dug in the cemetery in the backyard of the church.According to the procedure, Modo's body will be sent to the backyard around [-]:[-] in the morning. The priest presides over the funeral, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the coffin is sent into the grave by the crane arm, and the children symbolically sprinkle a handful of soil.As the guests leave, workers from the funeral company use machinery to fill the grave, erect headstones and spread artificial turf.

Before [-]:[-] in the morning, guests who have a good relationship with Modo can go to the mourning hall to express their condolences alone.Because Modo has arranged his own funeral and even his own burial time, there is very little time left for the guests to mourn, so the standard of good relationship can only be determined by Modo's children.

Liang Xi stopped to watch, and saw Hannah entering the church successively accompanied by the daughter of Modo, the prince, and Coster, the eldest son of Modo.Ristone, who was on the side, walked towards the back door of the church as a funeral worker.A police detective outside the church seemed to have noticed Ristone, looked at the place where Ristone disappeared, and walked towards the back door unhurriedly by the church.

"What are you doing?" Karin waited for a while, Liang Xi was still standing on the stone with his feet up and his neck raised.

Liang Xitou didn't even wave back: "Baby, come and watch the excitement."

Karin also stood on the stone and asked, "What's the fun?"

Liang Xi said, "I don't know either."

Karin stood on the stone and put her arms around Liang Xi's waist: "Honey, if there is excitement and you don't take the initiative to greet me, you are dead. If there is no excitement, you trick me to come over, you are dead too."

Liang Xi was taken aback: "What you said makes sense." I couldn't even refute it.

Karin smiled: "So you'd better tell me what's exciting now."

Liang Xi replied: "I'm not sure. Modo has confirmed his death time and burial time. Coster and Hannah will definitely come to his funeral. With so much certain information, someone wants to kill them, will it How about making arrangements in advance? Besides, I have another doubt, now that there is plenty of time before the burial, why did the two groups of main guests enter the church together?"

Karin said, "Do you know the church rules?"

"I've heard of it, will anyone really obey it?" Church Rule [-]: Killing is not allowed in the church.Rule [-]: Do not bring weapons into the church.Rule [-]: Do not enter the church accompanied by non-essential personnel, such as bodyguards, servants, etc.

Judging from the scene, Coste's eight bodyguards and Hannah's four bodyguards stayed in the open space outside the church. In addition to them, the prince's two entourages were also waiting outside the church.The back door and the left side of the church cannot be seen from this position.Although the local police officers were dispatched to the villa, there were not many of them, and they did not actively intervene in the order.At most, it is just like last night, conducting an identity check on the suspects.There was no command vehicle and no armed police at the scene, which seemed to be the basic response method of the district police station to the gathering crowd.

The two of them stared stupidly for 5 minutes without any movement, but instead attracted the attention of passers-by.Karin said: "Honey, it's wrong to bully your girlfriend."

"I didn't, and I'm standing here too." Liang Xi argued.

Karin said: "Last time you boiled lemon syrup, in order to trick me into eating a slice of sour lemon, you ate two slices deliciously and happily."

"Baby, you are overthinking." Liang Xi said to himself, "It's strange, so quiet? Ristone and the police detective should have met, why is there no movement?"

Karin jumped off the rock and said angrily, "I won't be fooled again."

After the words fell, there was a sudden gunshot from the church, and Karin hurriedly stepped on the stone again: "You push me down and don't let me watch the fun, you are dead."

Liang Xi was shocked and turned to look at Karin. Karin smiled triumphantly like nectar in spring.

After the gunfire, three groups of bodyguards outside the church drew their guns together.Coste's bodyguard moved around the church to the left, Hannah's bodyguard ran to the main entrance, and the prince's two bodyguards seemed to be baffled, and followed Hannah's bodyguard to the back door.

Ristone appeared on the left side of the church. He clamped Coster's neck with one hand and lowered him. He also took a body armor in his hand to cover Coster's back as much as possible.Holding a pistol in the other hand, he quickly moved forward with Coster without looking back, and bumped into Coster's bodyguard team smoothly.Four bodyguards searched for a bunker on the spot to intercept possible pursuers, and Ristone and other bodyguards escorted Coster to move towards the helicopter.

On the other side, Koko ran out of the church in a panic, followed by Hannah's daughter Mordo, who could see blood on her body.Two of the four bodyguards protected the three behind them, and the two helped Hannah and Modo's daughter to leave quickly.Hannah's motorcade sped from the parking lot to the church.

The royal bodyguards of the two princes entered the church, and the intermittent gunfire suddenly rang out.At this time, the police finally entered the scene, and the police officers from the surrounding branch ran towards the church. However, more than half of the police officers did not wear guns. After four police officers with guns entered the church, the gunfire stopped abruptly.About 20 seconds later, police officers waiting outside the door poured into the church.

Then the doctor from the manor rushed to the church with old strides. Some police officers ran out of the church, took the first aid kit from the trunk of the police car that drove to the door, and ran into the church.

Liang Xi was a little surprised: "Riston is really not Hannah's person. It seems that Coster is at least the confidant of the president of the Dark Society, maybe the president of the Dark Society."

Karin: "Well explained, I can not bully you at night."

"in turn."

"Good explanation, can I bully you at night?"

"No, the explanation is good, I can bully you at night." Liang Xi kissed Karin and said: "If I guessed correctly, Hannah knew that Coster would pay homage to Modo alone, so she decided to meet Coster at the right time. The reason One: It is [-]:[-] in the morning, and Coster arrived at [-]:[-] am by helicopter. According to the time calculation, Coster will get on the helicopter at [-]:[-] in the morning and wake up at [-]:[-]. This is no problem. But Hannah’s time is There was a problem. They arrived at the manor by car, and it took two hours to get to the manor from the nearest hotel. Don’t ask about the possibility that Hannah came over overnight, because it can be seen from their appearance that Kou and Hannah yesterday They had a rest late, and they had a good rest. The suits for the funeral were also brand new. They were prepared to attend the funeral, and it was impossible to make a temporary decision. Reason [-]: Their bodyguards trusted each other’s bodyguards. After the gunshots rang out, they There was no animosity between them."

Liang Xidao: "Moduo arranged his own death date and his own funeral, which means that the killer can hide in the church or mix with the staff in advance. As guests, Coster and Hannah, it is impossible to overwhelm the host. People go to check on security issues. So this is a good opportunity to assassinate."

Karin asked: "Is the target of the assassination Coster or Hannah?"

Liang Xi said: "There are many answers to your question. Most of the answers and the darkness will be related to the blood moon: Hannah or Coster's intentional layout. Or someone knows that the two big men are going to attend the funeral to do things. Once the blood moon is involved, The matter is complicated and difficult to speculate. Leaving aside the blood moon, it is possible that the children of Modo killed each other."

Liang Xi said: "The reason is that the firepower is not strong enough. Coster, Hannah, and Kou Kou were not shot. One or at most two gunmen. Neither the prince nor the eldest son of Modo left the church. They are very likely to be shot. It was shot. Hannah helped Modo's daughter leave the church, and it is certain that Modo's daughter was shot. The victim has nothing to do with the Dark Society, and is directly related to the Modo family."

Liang Xi paused for a while. Karin originally wanted to jokingly extract a confession, but seeing Liang Xi's serious expression, she waited quietly.After a while, Liang Xi was depressed and said, "Let's go."

Karin didn't ask any further questions, and accompanied Liang Xi to the reception with her luggage, but the reception had been blocked by the police and she couldn't leave the manor for the time being.Fortunately, the manor was big enough, and the two dragged their luggage and walked to the grass by the lake to sit quietly and wait for the chaos to end.

Karin embraced Liang Xi's arm with her right hand, resting her head on Liang Xi's arm.She didn't think too much, and didn't ask for answers, but quietly enjoyed the beauty of the mountains and rivers.After waiting for a long time, Liang Xi kissed Karin's right forehead, sighed deeply, and said, "The murderer may be Modo."

Karin was surprised: "Modo?"

"Well, Modo killed the eldest son. Modo arranged the funeral affairs before his death, such as not allowing his children to witness his death, arranging the funeral time, choosing the tomb, and booking a funeral company. With his connections and wealth, he bought It is very easy to have one or two outlaws. He is the most capable person to arrange everything." Liang Xi said: "He is an elder I admire, but he may not be a kind elder. If It wasn’t Hannah who told me that Modo was once a member of the Dark Society, the veteran of the European Skull and Bones Society, I really couldn’t think of Modo.”
