Start by analyzing the Holy Light

Chapter 20 Back to the Carbine

Most of the servants have worked here for more than ten years?

Ryan realized he seemed to be missing something.

"Mr. Leidy, have any new servants been recruited in the manor recently?"

The housekeeper who was driving was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "The previous housekeeper returned to her hometown last year, and the present housekeeper came to the manor only this year."

"Besides, there are several servants brought back from the Kingdom of Loen by Sir last year."

The butler's answer made Ryan fall into deep thought. He found that he seemed a little sloppy tonight. Although he checked most of the villa, some inconvenient places were missed.

For example, the housekeeper's bedroom.

The housekeeper Ryan still has some impressions. She also appeared in the hall of the dinner tonight, but it was not very eye-catching.

Originally, the target of Ryan's suspicion was the wine he drank with Sir Morrison tonight, but after careful consideration, he found many doubts.

First of all, the wine itself does have a beneficial effect on restoring mental power, although it is negligible, it cannot be ignored. Sir Morrison himself said that drinking will restore a little energy, but it cannot solve the sleep problem.

Moreover, Sir Morrison mentioned during the dinner that this is a special product of the Kingdom of Loen, and it is not the first time he bought and drank it. Why did the problem only appear two weeks ago?
Thinking back carefully, Ryan found that there were indeed a lot of doubts tonight, and he seemed to have missed something.

So he decided to go back and have a look, but as an infiltrator.

"Mr. Leidy." Ryan tapped the carriage lightly with his wand.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Dylan?" The butler who was driving didn't look back.

"If you want to ask how long it will take to reach the Holy See, the road conditions will be better at night, and you can arrive within an hour."

"Just park here, I'm going to visit the church nearby." Ryan said calmly.

The butler pulled the reins to stop the carriage, and turned to look at Ryan in the carriage suspiciously.

"Mr. Dylan, St. Ryder's Church is still some distance away, I can take you there directly."

St. Ryder's Church is one of the churches of the Aurora Church in the east of the city, and it is also the church closest to Ryan.

"Just get off here, I still have some personal matters to deal with." Ryan pressed his bowler hat with his left hand, and bowed down from the carriage.

"Thank you for taking me there." Ryan smiled and said, "Please remember to convey the news to Sir Morrison for me tomorrow. I will wait for him in the holy light."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Dylan."

Looking at the butler who drove back from a long distance, Ryan stretched out his hand to unbutton the neckline and twisted it. Although the shirt looks good, it is not as comfortable as the priest's robe. Maybe it's because he has grown up in the past two months so he can't wear it?
It is about 08:30 in the evening, and the nightlife of the aristocrats in Chengdong District is very rich. At this time, almost no one is walking on the road.

After seeing the carriage go away, Ryan slowly walked into the alley without street lights, and walked slowly towards Sir Morrison's manor.

Ten minutes later, Ryan returned to the manor again.

It seems that because the guests have left, most of the lights in the villa have been extinguished, and only a few rooms still have candles flickering slightly behind the curtains.

Ryan hid in the darkness, looking at the villa from a distance.

"There should be no problem with the wine itself, otherwise I should have noticed it when I drank it."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully recalling some details of today's dinner.

He was able to hear the same moans of pain that Mr. Morrison heard because of the strange breath.

If there is no problem with the wine, when did you get caught?

After pondering for a moment, Ryan shook his head. There are too few clues now, and it is impossible to piece together a complete train of thought.

Under the cover of night, Ryan went around from the other side of the manor to the back of the villa, climbed up the decoration of the villa's exterior wall, and turned into the bathroom on the second floor.

After confirming that there was no one outside the washroom, Ryan gently twisted the handle to open the door, lowered his footsteps and walked towards Sir Morrison's room.

The sound insulation of the villa is not bad. If you don't open the door, you can hardly hear the sound of the corridor outside.

Stopping for a moment at the door of Sir Morrison's bedroom, Ryan temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening the door, but turned and walked towards the housekeeper's bedroom.

For the servants, there is no such thing as a nightlife. The master's routine is their routine. After Sir Morrison rests, the servants will return to their rooms after finishing their daily affairs.

The villa was quiet, except for a few slightly flickering candles burning in the corridor.

Fortunately, Ryan had roughly visited the villa in the afternoon, and he was no stranger to the living area where the maids lived, but he did not enter their bedrooms during the day.

After going down the stairs and turning the corridor, Ryan stopped suddenly.

He seemed to feel that familiar breath.

"Sure enough, the problem lies with the servant."

Ryan squinted his eyes, and it seemed that the other party didn't expect him to fight back, so he didn't hide that aura too much.

Stopping and standing in front of the housekeeper's door, Ryan could hear a slight movement coming from inside.

"Rhythmic footsteps, there seems to be some kind of mysterious singing?" Ryan frowned. What is this housekeeper doing?
The sound insulation of the door was not bad, Ryan couldn't hear what was going on inside, but could only vaguely hear some strange voices, which didn't seem to be the language of the Gwen Kingdom.

"It seems that it's time for me to learn the detection spell." Ryan looked helplessly at the door.

Although a clue has been found, the housekeeper may not be the real source. If he breaks in directly, he will definitely startle the snake.

Moreover, he was not fully sure of dealing with the main messenger of that breath.

Just as Ryan was hesitating whether to break in, the footsteps in the room suddenly stopped.

Ryan's eyes moved, and he held his breath and leaned his body against the wall on the side of the door hinge. If people in the room suddenly opened the door, they would not see him at first sight.

What Ryan was worried about did not happen. After a moment of silence, there was another voice in the room, but this time it was in the language of the Gwen Kingdom. He vaguely heard a few words and a suppressed angry female voice.

It sounded like they were arguing.

"There is more than one person in the room?" Ryan turned his eyes slightly, and leaned his ears cautiously against the door.

"Why are you so impulsive? It's only a few days away!" The woman's voice obviously suppressed her anger.

Leaning his ears against the door, Ryan heard the housekeeper's voice clearly.
