Qiao Jin’s party did not end perfectly. A nobleman was beaten and seriously injured in the West District of Princeton. This made the city’s sheriff simply couldn’t believe it.
A whole security team surrounded the Qiao Jin family’s residence, trying to catch the perpetrator. This kind of influence was so bad that the higher-ups couldn’t suppress it even if they tried to suppress it.
But what made the Sheriff’s adults speechless was that Tris didn’t know if he had been brain-damaged. The magician accompanying the Sheriff’s team had obviously given him a simple treatment, but he still couldn’t help it. Talking nonsense.
“A black shadow, I saw a black shadow!”
“Ah, at least two of my ribs are broken, you losers!”
“Go and arrest him quickly, he is in this mansion!”
“I am the nephew of Marquis Mist, go and catch the murderer!”
. . . . . .
The sheriffs originally didn’t plan to pay attention to this aristocratic kid with abnormal brains, but Tris finally moved out his uncle, which made the adults at the sheriff’s station need to take care of this poor victim.
Of course, the Qiao Jin family is not easy to mess with. The West City Public Security Bureau is not qualified to search the residence of an earl, so they can only make a rough investigation and make a hasty decision.
No one doubts that it was someone from the Earl’s Palace who did it, because it is too obvious. The game of the nobles is not a simple fist fight. If someone is caught, the entire family may be sanctioned, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After half a day of analysis and discussion, everyone agreed that one of Tris’s love rivals was looking for someone to take revenge. The confession “I asked you to steal women from me” was the main basis for the confession.
Some people also wonder if someone is specifically trying to divert everyone’s attention, but this is no longer important. What the big shots above want is the result, whether right or wrong.
The City West Public Security Bureau needs to characterize this case before dark, otherwise the upper nobles of the royal capital will doubt their ability to handle the case.
This case caused quite a stir, and in the end, in order to quickly settle the case, a poor man was found to settle the case.
Princeton is as big as Princeton, and hundreds of poor people die every day. Who cares about a mere poor person who no one pays attention to.
It wasn’t until evening that the troops from the security station evacuated, and the noble children who had been under house arrest in disguise for a long time were able to go home.
I thought it was just an ordinary gathering, but who would have thought that there would be such new things. Most of the nobles who had been detained for such a long time did not complain at all. Instead, they discussed it with their companions with great interest.
Tris is in great disgrace this time, and will probably become the subject of conversation and laughter among the nobles after dinner within a few months.
“Qiao Jin, I’m leaving!”
“Bye~”
“Qiao Jin, see you next time!”
“Goodbye”
“Welcome again!”
“Okay.”
The sky was dark, and many nobles left Qiao Jin’s house one after another.
These noble children were the first to be suspected, but they were also the first to be eliminated.
There are no fools among nobles. Who would choose to use fists instead of brains, unless he is not a qualified noble.
Of course, this is one of the reasons. The other main reason is that when Tris was beaten, all the nobles present were in the garden, and everyone had an alibi.
Including Locke.
“Honey, actually you don’t have to do this.” Angelina leaned on Locke’s shoulder and whispered.
“Hmph, he actually dared to scold you and give you a slap in the face. I count him lucky that I didn’t kill him directly.” Locke comforted him.
“Stupid!” On the other side, Qiao Jin looked at the couple showing off their affection for each other and snorted in disapproval.
The alibi requires at least three people to make it. Locke’s proof was made by Angelina, Joakim, and Diane.
Angelina and Dini helped, and Locke understood, but he didn’t expect Qiao Jin, a woman, to help him.
“I’m just venting my anger in disguise. I don’t really want to save you.” Qiao Jin crossed his arms and turned his face to the side and said proudly.
“Always, thank you!” After holding back for a long time, Locke still said this.
At the West City Public Security Bureau, nearly 300 soldiers surrounded her home all afternoon. Even though Qiao Jin had a count father, she was also greatly affected.
In addition, Tris suffered such a big loss from her family, so she would probably give Qiao Jin a portion of her hatred. Logically speaking, Locke owed Qiao Jin a favor this time.
“You don’t need to thank me, just be nice to Angelina. I won’t see you off.” Qiao Jin stepped on his crystal high heels and strode away. Such a big thing happened in the mansion. She still has her work to do.
“Let’s go.” Angelina was afraid that Locke would be angered by Qiaojin again, so she held Locke in one hand and Dani in the other, and walked out of Qiaojin’s house.
This is Angelina overthinking. Locke is not an impulsive person. Every decision and action he makes is carried out after careful consideration. He now owes Qiao Jin a favor, which is wrong. Of course, nothing will be done.
The carriage was quiet, Angelina was holding Locke with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
Dini lowered her head, and only occasionally looked at Locke curiously when she raised her head.
After a long time, I arrived at Diane’s house and said, “Goodbye, Diane!”
“Goodbye!”
The little sisters Angelina and Deni waved goodbye.
After Dinnie entered her home, the carriage set off again.
“Don’t be so impulsive in the future!” As soon as the outsiders disappeared, Angelina immediately lost her previous quiet and ladylike attitude, and pinched Locke’s arm hard.
“Ouch!” Locke pretended to be in pain. He felt that Angelina was not exerting any force.
“Huh? Does it hurt you? Let me see, let me see.” As she said that, Angelina looked anxiously at the area where Locke had just been pinched by her. When she raised her head, she saw Locke looking at him with a playful smile. Only then did she, Angelina, realize that she had been tricked by him.
“Disgusting!” Angelina hit Locke again, this time she hit him hard.
No matter how hard Angelina exerted herself, Locke, a low-level attendant, would not feel anything. However, he picked up Angelina by the waist, put her on his lap, and kissed her passionately.
The two were in the carriage, kissing passionately and deeply.
On Sunday, Locke rarely stayed at home all day long. He lay on a wooden chair in the yard, like a gentleman, with the considerate Xia Qian beside him fanning him.
It’s not hot at all in Princeton in March. I can only say that this guy is too pretentious.
“How about I find something for you to do?” Locke touched Xia Qian’s hair and asked softly.
“Okay!” Xia Qian has been feeling quite bored lately. Although she has learned a bit about the Omore language from Locke and others, she rarely goes out. Only when Locke is accompanying her does she have some interest in going out.
“How about I find you a school?” Locke asked. He didn’t really want Xia Qian to go into business now. They had just been in Princeton for a month and hadn’t figured out anything. If they went into business rashly, they might cause some unnecessary trouble. trouble.
This place is no different than when it was in Charlo, where it was covered by the caravans of Locke and Baron Kaidozi.
“Okay.” Xia Qian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She is actually very similar to Locke. She doesn’t really like to learn knowledge from textbooks, and is only interested in things that can actually help her.
“Then I’ll ask Grace tonight.” Locke snapped his fingers.
Kristen is already 14 years old. When Grace was at Forstein, she wanted to find a school or teacher for her, but she never had the chance. Now in the Ormore Empire, there are countless schools of all kinds. Princeton alone, in addition to the Royal College, there are several schools.
Grace has already picked several, and will make a decision immediately. When the time comes, Xia Qian will be added to them, just in time to keep Kristine company.
These schools are ordinary schools. It is unrealistic to learn fighting spirit and magic like Locke and Angelina. You can only learn some ordinary knowledge. Most of them are arithmetic and the literature and history of the Omoor Empire.
It is better to have something to do than to be idle at home. Locke plans to add his sister Leah to the list. These days, apart from embroidery, Leah is reading at home. She is even more at home than Xia Qian. It is not an option to continue like this.
“Study?” Leah was surprised for a moment, then quickly responded, “Okay.”
“You go with Christine and Xia Qian.” Locke added.
“Yes.” Leah already knew the relationship between Xia Qian and him.
“Santa Sco College, go to class tomorrow.” Locke reminded.
“Okay.” Leah was much easier to talk to than Christine. Locke remembered that when he went to see Christine during the day and asked the little girl to go to class, Christine cried, made trouble, and hung herself. The house was demolished.
Fortunately, the little girl listened to her brother’s words in the end, but Locke agreed that he would have to pick Kristen and the others back home in two days.
