Alien landlady

Chapter 224 mother and daughter trio
The president heard the news, and the next morning he took someone to visit Farrell to see Bai Tongtong's new invention. Farrell moved this thing back to his home yesterday evening and studied it all night, and finally figured it out. The function of each button, I also tried to draw a table with tab characters, but the typing speed is still ridiculously slow, I am a little curious about how Bai Tongtong practiced his typing skills.

Farrell demonstrated it to the president himself, and everyone finally understood what Bai Tongtong's summary report was all about. They were thinking about getting one for the general guild. Only by using more people can they better find out what needs to be improved. place.

After seeing the real thing, the president really sent someone to Bai Tongtong to reserve two sets, but they will not be able to get them until the next year. Bai Tongtong has to make the one for the country of Lessos before the end of the year, so as not to delay In January she was at the National Conference in Marzio.

Farrell endured the urge to disassemble the typewriter to check its internal structure, put the machine on the assistant's desk, taught him the function of each key, and let him practice typing with useless waste documents when he was not busy.

In the afternoon, the envoy from the Kingdom of Lysos came to see Farrell, and he was also amazed at the typewriter. He was very happy to finally have the results that he could report to His Majesty, and said that he could help to have a talk with the above. Minerals are indeed more reliable than handing them over to other miners, but monopolizing the mineral resources in a certain area is a very enviable thing, and Bai Tongtong has to pay some extra price.

Farrell knew that for Bai Tongtong, who is now rich and powerful, anything that can be solved with money is not difficult for her, so he readily agreed on her behalf, asked the messenger to mediate, and promised that he would also have a share after the matter was completed. benefit.

The matter of the typewriter spread among the people within a few days, and people discussed it a lot. Many magicians went to the guild in Fabao Town to experience the new product. Bai Tongtong only made three prototypes at first, one for his own use and one for Farrell. , the last one was placed in the morning room for everyone to try and give their opinions.

When it was already busy, Bai Tongtong did not forget to write a letter to Mrs. Arwen, asking her about her current family situation and whether she had any luggage that needed to be moved in advance. She could ask Ah Huang to be a porter.

Mrs. Alwyn replied quickly, but her handwriting was illegible. Although she didn't mention the Viscount's matter, she could tell that the situation must be getting worse day by day, and it wouldn't last long.In the letter, Madam thanked Bai Tongtong for her help, wrote down the detailed home address, and begged her to send Ah Huang to remove her husband's books and documents and the personal belongings of the family of four. The next Viscount Alwyn has decided to buy new ones. , do not need those old things.

Bai Tongtong sent Ah Huang over after reading the letter, hoping to give the poor mother and daughter some psychological comfort and support.

Ah Huang went away for more than two days before coming back, and brought back a lot of cardboard boxes. Fortunately, Bai Tongtong had already prepared for it, and cleared out a place in the attic for these things.

【The viscount is gone. He was murdered by poisoning for a long time. The smell of poison in his room is too strong. It's a pity that human beings don't have such sensitive noses. 】Ah Huang licked his nose and said a piece of heavy news.

[Where did the poison come from? 】

[The poison came from a pharmacist, prescribed by a doctor, fed to him day by day by family members who had no knowledge of it for more than two years, and finally accumulated to a lethal dose, and the outside world seems to be just a long-term bedridden patient who died of a serious illness The poor man is called by the Lord. 】

[It wasn't done by the family members, so who did it?Could it be that his younger brother's family poisoned and murdered his brother for the title?And Mrs. Alwyn, does she know now? 】

【Why did I tell her this?Do you still think there are not enough things?Now the manor is in chaos, and the hypocrisy of the younger brother's family is really disgusting.But they didn't do it, they just picked up a big deal out of pure luck, but they were so happy that even the servants at home couldn't see it. 】

[The question is, why did the pharmacist spend so long poisoning the Viscount?What grievances can there be between the two of them? 】

【The answer is in the document left by the viscount. You will definitely like it. I will go back to the manor and bring them back after the funeral with them. You hurry up and ask the maids to clean up the bedroom. 】After Ah Huang finished speaking, he ran away, and Bai Tongtong returned to the attic, looking at the high pile of boxes, not knowing where to start.

Three days later, Bai Tongtong welcomed her poor new friends. Mrs. Alwyn and her two daughters appeared in the teleportation array wearing mourning clothes. The discomfort of teleportation made them very uncomfortable. The servants hurried Send them to their respective bedrooms.

When Bai Tongtong came out of the laboratory, the mother and daughter had almost recovered. Accompanied by Ah Huang, Bai Tongtong went to Mrs. Arwen's bedroom to visit her.

The pale-faced lady is an image of a gentle woman, less than 40 years old, soft-spoken and well-educated, thanking Bai Tongtong repeatedly for her help to their mother and daughter.

"Please call me Irene, Miss Bai, I am no longer the wife of a Viscount."

"Just call me Tongtong, too. Those polite names are called by outsiders."

"Thank you, Tongtong, thank you for everything you have done for us."

"You're welcome, I just happened to find a partner for myself. I think the circle should have had enough of my rudeness. It's a good thing for someone to point me out from time to time."

"It's nothing, everyone likes you very much, people in the circle actually admire you more when they talk about you, you have today is all your own efforts, even if someone is jealous of your good luck, you have to admit your strength .”

"Oh, is it true or not?" Bai Tongtong looked unconvinced.

"Of course it's true. You don't know how many women envy you. You are completely dependent on yourself and have the ability to support yourself. Unlike us, you rely on your father to provide for you at home, and you live on your husband after marriage. Once something happens to the man, the wife and daughter will suffer. If The relatives can live a better life if they talk about their conscience, but they are afraid of meeting relatives who don't. Alas..." Irene couldn't help sighing when she thought of her own sad things.

"Don't think about it too much, live here well, set a good example for others, let them know that your choice is not wrong, and let relatives and friends who care about you can rest assured."

"Maybe we can attract some people to settle here in the future." Irene squeezed a smile on her face.

"I'm very welcome, really, especially those who have studied. I have a lot of jobs here that are in urgent need of people. Some office paperwork is actually quite suitable for women. My male assistants can concentrate on running around outside. And don’t worry about having a bunch of desk work to do when you come back.”

"Oh, that's what I'm good at. I used to organize documents and ledgers for my husband."

"Look, I didn't find the wrong person!" Bai Tongtong patted Irene's hand, "You guys rest for a few days first, and let Ah Huang take you around to familiarize yourself with the local environment. It doesn't matter if you start working a few days later."

"Thank you, thank you again, Tongtong, it's nice to have you."

"You're welcome." Bai Tongtong leaned forward and hugged Irene gently, "You rest for a while, I'll go and see your two sisters, the child will definitely recover sooner."

"Oh, I should go with you, it's rude to let you go alone." Irene said and wanted to get out of bed, but the movement was too violent, and she felt dizzy again.

"You'd better have a good rest, I'll go and see them." Bai Tongtong helped Irene to lie down, tucked her in the quilt, gently closed the door, and went to the next door to visit the two sisters.

The little girls have indeed recovered. Two single beds are placed on the left and right against the wall with a window, and a simple desk for two is placed in the middle. It looks a bit like a school dormitory. The younger sister is huddled on the older sister's bed, looking at the green forest outside the window, chatting about the future and nostalgia for her father.

"Good afternoon, girls, I hope you have all recovered from the discomfort of teleportation." Bai Tongtong knocked on the door and opened it with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Miss Bai." The two sisters quickly got out of bed and saluted Bai Tongtong.

"From now on, this is your new home. I hope you can adapt to the life here as soon as possible. Your mother is still waiting for your care. I think she has worked too hard and tired in the past few years."

"Yes, Ms. Bai, we were young when my father fell ill. She was the hardest worker in the family. We depended on her to support the family and the outside world. The most we could do was give him some medicine, talk to him, and read to him. We couldn't do it. Too many other things," said eldest daughter Phoebe, 17, as her younger sister, Bernice, who was three years younger, held her hand tightly and snuggled up next to her.

"My dear girls, Viscount Arwen will always be with you, but you have to look forward and continue your life. If you live well, you will not let down those who love you."

"Thank you, Miss Bai, we will."

"The kitchen is preparing afternoon tea. If you think you can go downstairs, you can change your clothes and go for a walk. The magicians in the guild are still waiting to meet my new friends."

"Thank you, Miss Bai, we'll go down in a while." The two sisters bowed again and watched Bai Tongtong leave, then opened the suitcase and put the clothes into the closet.

Bai Tongtong went back to the bedroom to change clothes and rest. Ah Huang's current figure made the room a bit cramped and cramped, and he slapped the floor lazily with his tail, 【Do you want to tell them the truth? 】

[Still not, telling them will only make you sad, and the Viscount will not come back, but we can investigate quietly. Poisoning nobles is a felony. I really want to know how common people have such courage. 】

[The answer is in the pile of documents, you can understand it immediately after reading a few words, you don't need to look it up. 】

[Since you know the answer, why don't you just tell me? 】

[That's so boring, you have to find the answer yourself to make sense. 】

Bai Tongtong suddenly stopped changing clothes, 【So poisoning the Viscount is not related to revenge? 】

[Difficult to determine. 】

[Killing is nothing more than three reasons, for money, for love, and for revenge.Can you give me some hints? 】

[It's said that it's hard to determine.Money and love have nothing to do with each other. The Viscount is not good at business, and the income from the farm and farmland is enough to maintain a decent life for the family.There is no love, the relationship between the couple is very good, and neither of them has a lover. 】

[Then there is only hatred left? 】

[The pharmacist and the viscount have no personal grievances. The viscount has a good reputation in the local area. He is a good old man who is diligent in doing good deeds, a family tradition. 】

[No personal grievances can continue to poison him for more than two years? ! 】

[So the answer is in those files. 】

[Is it entrusted by someone?Being bought?Is there another mastermind behind the scenes? 】

[Don't ask, I won't tell you, why don't you read those documents. 】

[You are looking for a fight!Hesitating!Say it!Or I'll shave your hair for a mat! 】

[No. 】Ah Huang stood up, raised his head proudly, swished his thick tail, and ran away through the wall.

Bai Tongtong gritted her teeth. She couldn't bear the fact that the answer to the puzzle was right in front of her eyes and she couldn't solve it. She stomped hard and ran up to the attic to check the relics left by Viscount Alvin.

After moving several boxes full of various books, Bai Tongtong finally found a box for manuscripts. There were various notebooks and manuscript paper bound into volumes, but most of them were loose papers that had not been sorted. In order, the content on the upper page and the lower page is not the same. Obviously, after the viscount was judged to be dying by the doctor, the madam tidied it up in a hurry, so she didn't bother to check each page carefully.

After hastily flipping through these scattered documents, Bai Tongtong was about to put them aside and look at the contents of the notebook first, when she was attracted by a page of paper and pulled it out to read it carefully.

This paper draws a simple version of the star map, with text beside it marking which is the sun, which is the moon, and which is the planet inhabited by humans, and simply draws the orbits of the planets.

Bai Tongtong covered her mouth in shock. This turned out to be the content of the heliocentric theory. The former Viscount Arwen was studying the heliocentric theory!
Heck!

The church has propagated for thousands of years that the birth of human beings is the will of God. For the healthy development of life, the sun and the moon revolve around the land where human beings live. The stars in the sky also exist for human beings. Without human beings, This world will be destroyed.

The Viscount must have been secretly researching this thing, because his wife and daughter didn't know about it, but they let outsiders know about it. It's hard to say whether it was an extremely evil joint murder, but it is necessary to investigate the people involved in the case.

The three of Irene's mother and daughter trusted the medicine prepared by the pharmacist so much, but they didn't realize that it was he who secretly killed her husband and father.

A Huang came to the attic mysteriously, looked at the cardboard boxes and documents all over the floor, with a clear expression,【Do you know the cause of the Viscount's death?Difficult to determine, right?None of the three factors can be matched. 】

[Barely able to bear the enemy. 】

【hatred? 】

【hatred! 】Bai Tongtong wrinkled his nose, 【How's the religious atmosphere over there?Are the people in the parish religious? 】

[Very pious, the head of the parish manages well, several priests under him each manage a place, the people live and work in peace and contentment, do not pick up lost things on the road, and are peaceful and happy. 】

【Your evaluation is so high...】

[This is a fact, I won’t lie to you, the social morality over there is very good, it can be regarded as a positive example that can be used as a model. 】

[The peaceful and peaceful Xanadu also has a messy and dirty side. If this is the case, things may be troublesome. The poisoning of the Viscount is not necessarily the idea of ​​the pharmacist alone, it may be a joint murder. 】

[Then let's investigate?It's the best way to expose people's shortcomings. 】

[I also like to catch people with pigtails. 】Bai Tongtong shrugged his shoulders and laughed happily.

Ah Huang flicked his big tail happily, 【Ah, by the way, I came up to tell you that Farrell is here. 】

[You didn't say it earlier! 】Bai Tongtong hurriedly put down the documents in his hand, hastily pushed the boxes to the wall and walked out the door, but bumped his head into someone's chest.

"Farrell! What are you doing up here!?" Bai Tongtong covered her nose that hit the button, tears burst into tears.

"I heard that Mrs. Alwyn has come over, let me say hello, what are you doing here secretly?" Farrell squeezed in with his height and long legs, his eyes glanced at the papers on the box.

"This is my place!" Bai Tongtong pushed Farrell back out the door, "Don't look around and peek at my secrets!"

"The cause of Viscount Arwen's death is strange?" Farrell said softly, Bai Tongtong was taken aback, stopped and put down his hands.

"The viscount is an elegant gentleman who likes to read and study. He is very concerned about the future of young people. He supports the construction of more schools so that children of the poor can go to school. If you tell me that he was murdered, I will be punished. No way." Farrell said lightly, looking at the boxes.

Bai Tongtong just looked at him and didn't speak.

Ah Huang flicked his tail, and the tufts on his ears twitched.

Farrell finally sighed, looked down at Bai Tongtong, "Do you need my help?"
