They all call me master

Marianne and Lamit were imprisoned in the dungeon - there was not only a dungeon in the Oak Manor, but also a supporting torture room, torture room, etc.

Even in previous years, there was a dedicated torturer.

However, with the death of the other party, this position became vacant.

Therefore, when Geert was hung in the torture room, Maltz was left as the guard, and the old housekeeper who led the way stood outside.

However, after Arthur looked around the dungeon, he walked to Maltz.

"Will there be trouble?"

The Shire District Sheriff asked in a low voice.

Maltz had worked with Arthur several times and was naturally familiar with Arthur's style - this method of separate detention, careful inspection, and selection of professional rooms, all of which told the Sheriff of the Shire District that the matter was not over.

Not to mention, Andy was just asked to quietly go back to report and bring reinforcements.

"meeting!"

Arthur nodded and looked at the unconscious Gilt again.

"It depends on whether our Gilt is smart enough."

"If you're smart enough, that's a minor problem."

"If you're not smart enough, you're going to be in big trouble."

"besides……"

"You'd better stand outside the door."

Arthur reminded Maltz.

Immediately, the Sheriff of the Shire District stepped out of the door of the torture room and closed the door firmly.

Even the viewing window only has a small crack left, so that it can be closed immediately if something happens - professional things are left to professionals, Maltz has always believed this.

Especially after experiencing the strange incident, the police chief firmly believed in Arthur's words.

Seeing Maltz's actions, the old butler's face became even more uneasy.

"He shouldn't be so irrational, right?"

The old housekeeper asked hesitantly.

"Greed will devour reason - I just hope now that he won't sign some contract with the guy behind the scenes because of greed."

Living in a world with a 'mysterious side', Arthur is most worried about this unpredictable power.

"Won't!"

"Including the Doyle family, all nobles will undergo a 'baptism' at birth - this baptism will leave a 'mark' on each noble heir. Once there is a force such as a contract that interferes with the 'mark' ', the 'mark' will sound an alarm!"

The old housekeeper said immediately.

"What kind of alarm?"

Arthur asked with interest.

He is full of curiosity about everything on the 'mysterious side', especially when he can know the corresponding information at no cost.

The old housekeeper did not answer directly, but just made gestures on his face.

Tattoo? !

It's ruthless!

Arthur marveled in his heart.

The nobles spare no effort to maintain their bloodline, but because of this they cannot bear betrayal - they choose to use the most direct method to minimize possible losses.

"If that's the case, then we only need to screen the people in Oak Manor."

Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Gilt is not disturbed by the mysterious power, the trouble will not be big, at least within the scope of his control.

As for who else in the Oak Manor is a pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes?

I am very sure of that!

You know, Oak Manor is closed.

Members of the Doyle family cannot leave, only servants.

The mastermind behind the scenes must need such a 'bridge' if they want to contact Gilt - to carry a message, or some kind of secret prop that can communicate with each other.

But no matter what, this medium must have it.

Even, more than one!

Putting himself into his own stead, Arthur asked himself that he needed at least three chess pieces.

The first chess piece is used as a normal connection.

The second chess piece is used as a backup link.

Because the servants who go out to buy fresh food and fruits cannot all be the same group of people. The servants all go in shifts - Arthur has already confirmed this with the old butler.

As for the third chess piece?

Naturally, it was used just in case to kill people and silence them.

"Screening people in the manor?"

The old housekeeper was more sad than before.

Of course he knew that there was a traitor in the manor, but not counting the farmers outside the manor, the total number of people in the manor was almost more than a hundred. If he screened them one by one, not to mention whether there would be any results, the time spent alone would be It's not something they can bear - the old butler has experienced the flames of the Seven Years' War. He has seen the demise of too many nobles. He knows very well that since the person behind the scenes dares to do this, he must be fully prepared. Gil It's okay to say that Special is successful, but if Gilt is unsuccessful, the other party will definitely have a backup plan.

And based on the current situation, it is definitely not enough to kill Gilt and silence him, but to wipe out the entire Doyle family...!

To put it simply, at this time, you need to check whether the weapons and gunpowder depots in the manor have been used, whether there are explosives in hidden blind spots, whether the food and water have been poisoned, and...

Send out men and ask for reinforcements!

The first few items are easy to say, but reinforcements are the key!

Because no one can confirm whether any of the people sent out for help are traitors!

If so, that would be the worst possible situation!

Arthur guessed the old butler's concerns.

"Don't worry, this screening process is very fast!"

"You just need to do what you should do now, and at the same time, just call everyone to the entrance of the hall and basement, I will go there right away - and please tell Albers to come down, I need to chat with him for a few words. "

Arthur smiled at the old butler.

[Bluff] flashed, and the confidence in Arthur's smile infected the old butler.

"OK."

The old housekeeper nodded immediately, and then walked towards the dungeon.

Immediately afterwards, 'Detective' Albers jumped down.

"Anything else to hide?"

Albers asked as soon as they met.

Arthur nodded and pointed to Marianne's cell.

"You won't forget how she killed the old Lord, right?"

"You mean?"

Albers was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

A murder technique like driving a nail into the head would never be thought of by ordinary people, at least a rich girl would never know about it.

Unless you’ve heard it, seen it, tried it.

Albers immediately rushed to the cell, but was held back by Arthur.

"You know the 'mystery side' right?"

"The person behind the plan is most likely from there!"

Facing Albers's confused gaze, Arthur asked directly.

"You know...huh?!"

"You mean, the person behind the scenes not only has a deal with Gilt, but also has a deal with Marian. In fact, Marian has a big killer weapon in her hand that can turn defeat into victory?"

In an instant, Albers reacted.

If the mastermind behind the scenes can win over a Gilt, they can naturally win over a Marian. Moreover, while Gilt has the protection of a noble "baptism", Marian has nothing.

No one can confirm whether the other party has done anything outrageous.

Therefore, Arthur hoped that Albers would try it out - Arthur had this idea when the old butler said 'baptism'.

His face was solemn, but his eyes were full of determination.

"At this time, the danger in this manor has not been eliminated. In fact, with Gilt being exposed and captured, our danger has just begun - I need to deal with these and make everyone as safe as possible!

But Marianne’s here is an extremely critical point!

But I can't be distracted!

There are not many people I can trust, Maltz is one, and you are another, but your caution, carefulness, conscientiousness, observation, and familiarity with the 'mysterious side' are something Maltz does not have - so, I hope you can find out. To see if that lady really has a trump card. "

Arthur said as he looked at Albers expectantly.

[Bluff] flashed like a light, making Arthur look so sincere to Albers.

The latter scratched his head.

"I'm actually not as good as you say."

"Please leave it to me!"

After saying that, the rookie detective strode towards the cell where Marianne was.

Passing by Maltz, when he saw the unwilling look on the Shire District Sheriff's face, he patted Maltz hard on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, you are needed elsewhere in the manor, and here...

Will be my battlefield! "

Lady Marianne's cell door opened and closed again.

Albers' figure disappeared there.

Arthur and Maltz looked at each other and rushed out of the dungeon very quickly.
