Chapter 532 The Great Change
Karin didn't quite believe it. After all, a tiger's poison does not eat its son, so she asked Liang Xi, "What was the motive for Modo to kill his son?"

Liang Xi replied: "The family and the adopted daughter Anka. After Modo's death, the eldest son will inherit the title of earl and this manor. Yesterday when Modo talked with Modo, when Modo talked about his family, he paid a lot of attention to Anka. Speaking of the places where his children made him proud, it can be said that these are his good memories. Looking back now, Modo didn’t mention the eldest son, not even a word about the eldest son. The primogeniture system is an aristocratic system The law stipulates that even Modo cannot actively choose an heir, and can only reorder the inheritance order through physical elimination."

Many aristocratic countries have laws governing the succession of noble fiefs and titles.Taking the United Kingdom as an example, the queen or king cannot designate an heir, but can only follow the legal order of succession.In addition, it is also stipulated that heirs, including heirs in line, cannot do some things, such as marrying a holy wife, unless they voluntarily withdraw from the line of succession.The same is true for nobles, whose titles are tied to fiefdoms.The eldest son inherits, and the second son joins the army. The former is the law of the nobility, and the latter is the tradition of the nobility.

Even if Modo hated the eldest son very much, on the premise that the eldest son did not lose his heir qualifications, the eldest son must inherit the title and fiefdom.When Liang Xi visited Modo for the first time, he heard that the eldest son planned to renovate the subsidiary enterprises of the manor and the manor, build a hotel, and open up a tourist area.In the Earl's Territory, there is a herring canning factory, a logging field including plantation forest and logging forest, and a natural pasture.There are a lot of people living and working in this territory. Once the eldest son reforms the territory, most of the people in the territory will lose their jobs and leave the land where their ancestors lived.

Liang Xi believes that this is only part of the reason, and the important reason should be Anka.The story is unknown, maybe the eldest son covets Anka's beauty, maybe the eldest son has always been dissatisfied with Anka, or Modo wants Anka to live a better life, but the eldest son disagrees.

Karin asked, "You're just guessing, right?"

Liang Xidao: "We must first explain Ristone. Ristone is obviously a member of Coster. Is there such a possibility? Coster is also a pawn arranged by Modo? Coster will be greeted by the eldest son of the quasi-earl when he arrives at the manor. Accompanying. Coster can go to the church with his eldest son logically. For the safety of Coster, Ristone arrived at the manor to investigate the terrain in advance, entered the church before the incident, and escorted Coster away immediately after the incident. Created a killer who wanted to assassinate Coster, The scene where the eldest son was killed by mistake." Although the eldest son can inherit the title and territory of the earl, he needs to go through some procedures and take an oath, so the eldest son is only the quasi-earl for the time being.

Liang Xi said: "I have to overturn a previous speculation. Coster and Hannah did not make an appointment to meet. Maybe Hannah knew Coster's itinerary and came to see Coster specially. Modo should not have thought that Hannah and the prince would be together except for Coster Enter the church, and among them is his own daughter."

After a pause, Liang Xi said: "Everything is speculation. But I don't think the killer came for Coster and Hannah."

Karin asked: "Why do you need Coster's cooperation?"

Liang Xi replied: "Assassination and manslaughter are very different in investigation and conclusion. When the eldest son is killed, the Swedish police will definitely investigate the beneficiary. There are only two such investigation results. One result proves that the eldest son was killed by the Modo family. One result cannot prove whether the eldest son was murdered by the family members. Both of these results will cause great damage to the family's face. Manslaughter is different. The eldest son is just an innocent victim and has nothing to do with the family honor. Maybe the killer is Rees Tong, even Coster himself... guessing, although there is room for manipulation, but you need to grasp the details, I don't think Coster will be willing to take too much risk."

Liang Xidao: "From the perspective of Liston's camp, it is basically certain that Coster occupies the five seats in the elders' house under the blood moon. He should be the president of the Dark Society, the big devil. I believe more people have known about him. It’s the big devil. Ristone’s pentakill in the blood moon invitation has already shown that Coster will no longer hide it.” As long as you investigate the bosses behind the five promotions, you can know who Ristone’s boss is and who is the boss. He is the biggest winner of the Blood Moon invitation.

Liang Xidao: "Hannah must also know Coster's identity, obviously they are not in the same camp. Oh? Could it be that Coster ordered Modo's daughter to be shot? He will use the opportunity of Modo to kill Hannah to get rid of Hannah. Just hurt the Modo daughter next to Hannah?"

Liang Xi had many thoughts and many questions. During the self-question and self-answer, Liang Xi sorted out the ins and outs of this incident.However, due to the limited information Liang Xi has, it is impossible to speculate on the details.Liang Xi was basically sure that the only culprit behind the assassination was Modo, who had passed away yesterday.

A staff member of the manor hurried over: "Mr. Liang Xi?"

Liang Xi stood up: "I am."

The other party breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Mr. Modo asked us to check the safety of all VIPs."

"Which Mr. Modo?" Liang Xi asked, "Earl Modo's second son?"

The staff member nodded: "The manor is temporarily managed by him. He asked me to tell all distinguished guests that something has happened in the manor, and I believe it will return to normal soon. Please rest in the side building." The staff pointed to the main manor, which is two kilometers away. A building of : "Two please."

Liang Xi heard something in the staff's words, and said, "We can go there by ourselves."

The staff was not polite: "Okay, sorry for the inconvenience." Nodded, half-bowed, and left.

Karin thought about it, and said: "Honey, when we left in the morning, we asked three staff members, not only did they not ask about the car and breakfast, they didn't even know who we were. I thought it was Anka's negligence, but now we look at , could it be that the eldest son doesn't want to pay attention to us at all."

"Anka is just a maid, not a trainee housekeeper. All the staff are dispatched by the first housekeeper, and the first housekeeper only obeys the master's orders." Liang Xi said with a smile: "From this point of view, the second son's position is very important to us. There is no harm. Besides, as a friend and junior of Modo, I should obey his last wish." As a distinguished guest who was specially invited by Modo and who lives in the main manor, not only did no one pay attention to Liang Xi's breakfast problem, but even when he planned to leave, he asked Find a ride by yourself.After the second son temporarily managed the manor, the first thing he did was to ask the staff to find and arrange VIP guests.The second son didn't know Liang Xi, but he knew that Liang Xi was the VIP who stayed in the guest room arranged by Anka last night, so he asked people to find Liang Xi and arranged Liang Xi to rest in the side building.

It can be seen from these things that the eldest son cares more about a powerful man like Coster, and the second son pays attention to the legacy of connections left by Modo.In contrast, the second son is more suitable for the development of the family.But it is necessary to kill his own son?In addition to what you see on the bright side, is there any hidden secrets that are not known?Liang Xi couldn't say whether Modo's behavior was right or wrong.Now that the deceased is gone, it is impossible for Liang Xi to prove his conjecture.

Uncharacteristically, Liang Xi didn't inquire about any news when he was resting in the guest room, but asked the staff to tell Anka to come over when she was free.Anka soon came to see Liang Xi, and Liang Xi explained that he would not stay in the manor to cause trouble, and would come to worship Modo when he was free in the future.Anka called a car for Liang Xi and Karin, and persuaded the detectives to let Liang Xi and them leave.

……

Back in London, there has been an official account of the funeral assassination at the Earl's estate in Sweden.According to the investigation by the Swedish police, there were two killers, a pair of refugee cousins ​​from Syria. From 2012 to 2017, the Nordic countries accepted about 60 Syrian refugees, and Sweden alone accepted 40. With the arrival of 40 refugees, the law and order in Sweden has taken a turn for the worse. The police who used to help the grandmother cross the road on a daily basis have also begun to be equipped with police weapons and even firearms.All kinds of violent cases emerge in endlessly, and Syrian refugees have become the main source of conflict in Swedish society.

Because of the impact of the refugee wave, the cost of buying a murderer suddenly dropped.These refugees originally came from hell, and they are not afraid of prison life with low sentences and good treatment.People don't need to spend a lot of money to buy outlaws, and this pair of cousins ​​is a typical example.Where there is a market, there is business. With the cooperation of the middleman, they accepted the commission of the killer.They entered the manor at night and hid their weapons in wooden boxes in a compartment in the attic of the chapel for 48 hours, as they were required to do.According to the order, they used the camera provided by the intermediary to find the target of the attack: Koster in the aisle on the second floor on the morning of the incident.

It's a pity that the marksmanship is too poor, and the target they killed with the first shot turned out to be Modo's eldest son.After the gunshots rang out, the prince panicked and looked up at the shooter, instead of running for his life, he was shot dead by his cousin.The prince's bodyguards engage the two killers, who can only watch Coste flee.In the end, one killer was seriously injured, and one killer surrendered to the police.When they were questioned by the police, they confessed everything, and the police found [-] euros in the account of a killer's brother-in-law.

Coster's assassination is considered news, but this news does not arouse people's interest.No matter which country, the environment of going to get off work early in the morning is always safer than the environment of leaving work in the early morning.In comparison, everyone is more concerned about the prince and quasi-earl who died accidentally due to the attack.The Swedish royal family mourned and condemned, and everything seemed to be working on its own course.

Liang Xi knew very well that the killer's [-] euros was just an excuse for the killer.A full guilty plea and full cooperation with the police can give them a certain advantage in court.As for how they got the real bounty, Liang Xi couldn't guess, because there were too many possibilities.Liang Xi believes that there are discerning detectives in Sweden, but the detectives can't talk nonsense, and they may not be willing to talk without evidence.What about the smart police?Without evidence, they will never express their doubts to the public, and they must be responsible for their profession.In addition, the case lacks a strong victim. The deceased was an accidental victim, at least on the surface.

Taking ten thousand steps back, so what if Liang Xi cracked the case?Could it be that Modo was pulled out to flog the corpse?No one would admire Liang Xi's brilliance, and more people would think that Liang Xi was a bastard who betrayed his friends.

Sometimes the truth is really not important, only those who need it think the truth is important.No one needs the truth in this case.

……

At the same time, a major earthquake occurred in the UK.

The German-British-French joint investigation team received an anonymous email claiming that the death time of 12 British agents in the Silent Man program had been tampered with. The email attached a report that was first-hand researched by the expert group at that time.The email stated that the first research report was made within the UK. In the second joint investigation report, the criminal gang Deep Sea Group cooperated with the personnel who sneaked into the laboratory to tamper with the research data, which led to the conclusion that 12 agents had been dead for 12 months. conclusion.The real time is 3 months.

The email also spelled out a Silent Plan B.The leader of the Silent Project is the current deputy director of mi6. He has a lot of information about the Dark Society and has alarmed the Dark Society.The Darkness will inform Germany and France of the Silencer Project, and at the request of these two countries, Germany and France participated in the Silencer Project.But it didn't take long for the deputy director to order the implementation of Silencer Plan B.The deputy director kidnapped and killed participating agents from various countries, and continued to harvest dark society information from undercover agents.In the end, after obtaining most of the information from the Dark Society, the deputy director poisoned 12 British agents who participated in the Silencers a and b plans in the name of celebration.

The reason why the deputy director would do this is because he firmly opposed Germany and France joining the Silent Man Project, but his efforts were defeated by Zhizheng and Weijiao.The deputy director believes that once the UK controls all the members of the Dark Society, the UK may regain dominance over the continent of Europe, sucking the blood of Europe so that the empire on which the sun never sets will regain its glory.

Signature of the email: Rose.

After the British cabinet heard the news, it immediately notified the deputy director of mi6 control and all the staff in the office directly under it, and ordered General Phil of the General Staff to investigate the case.Under the strong request of the joint investigation team, the three countries jointly conducted a comprehensive investigation on the case, which basically confirmed the truth of the anonymous email.In addition, a secret was uncovered. Through his identity and power, the deputy director hired a group of veterans who were loyal to Great Britain and held a radical populist attitude.This group of people formed the later Marr's team, and they also participated in a series of cases including the attack on the blade.

In one day, under Phil's command, seventeen veterans or officers were arrested.At the same time, Phil assisted the joint investigation team to find three Silent Man safe houses distributed in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and seized a large number of standard weapons and sword butterfly equipment.

A few days later, the cabinet announced the case, saying that the deputy director confessed to his crimes and voluntarily explained the list of people involved in the plan.In his address to the National Conference, the Prime Minister alerted the people to the rise of populist forces.This speech triggered discussions on the topic of populism in the UK and even in Europe.

Because the deputy director was arrested, Kunta, who had been undercover for a long time, also saw the light again.He was appointed as the special director of mi5, responsible for the connection between the domestic judiciary and mi6, including intelligence work involving vicious domestic crimes and terrorist attacks.

On the third day of Kunta's tenure, he invited Liang Xi to have dinner with him.
