Chapter 271: A two-pronged approach


"We need to do both."

After the slogan was shouted, Holden's thinking gradually became clearer, and now with the help of Ray Peters and Brutus, they might be able to open up more situations, but only if they need more careful and elaborate planning, otherwise they will only expose more targets."

On the one hand, we should investigate who is behind the scenes, and in addition to Mr.

Harford's banquet, the whole banquet also covers an intricate web of interests, and it is important whether the nobles who participated were directly or indirectly part of it.You can see the corners and corners now, but we have to be careful. ”"In the course of the investigation, I have witnessed the brutal extermination of two people directly related to him, although it was a case of accident, and I did not expose myself for the time being, but once it is revealed, we may be next.Nightingale's situation can be used as a reference, and I don't think we can be any better than Nightingale. ”Both Ray Peters and Brutus looked at Hodden with "how can you be so unlucky" expressions, but they were not frightened or frightened.Holden spread his hands and said sincerely: I am innocent, and those are just accidental coincidences."

On the other hand, we should investigate these waiters, and start with these branches and branches, which have no lethal power but are the main targets, to find their intentions and motives, and perhaps to make unexpected discoveries.After all, we don't know how huge the forces behind the scenes are; But civilians like Nightingale are much simpler. ”"At Nightingale's home, I found some clues.I wasn't sure what they were worth, but then there was a fire and I had to think about it. ”Clue?

Robben's first instinct was to turn his head to look at Hoden.Although Thunder's unintentional words just now seemed to deny Samuel's chance of survival, after a brief dull trough, Robben picked himself up again: he couldn't give up easily.If even he no longer believes that Samuel is still alive, then who else can continue to believe it?

So Samuel's only remaining glimmer of life may also be completely cut off, does it mean that Samuel's last sight may also be gone?

He must believe that even the whole world has given up.Capturing Hoden's words at this point, Robben perked up again.Hodden didn't continue to sell off, he was about to tell Robben that after being accidentally interrupted by Ray Peters, he now had two more people and four eyes.Hodden pulled out the death list he had transcribed from his pocket and handed it to Robben.Brutus immediately stepped up and leaned in.Thunderpeters hesitated for a moment, but could not suppress his curiosity, but finally walked over and joined the ranks, and the three heads gathered together to read carefully."

I found a roll of parchment in the sewer pipe of Nightingale's house, and I checked Nightingale's handwriting, which is his own handwriting.""

I guess this should be the reason why he was killed - after meeting us, he himself became suspicious, and then launched a relevant investigation, but he didn't want to startle the snake and alarm the relevant stakeholders, so he was killed.""

In addition, I don't have any evidence for the time being, but I strongly suspect that the person who killed Nightingale was the same person as the other clue person who killed the mouth last time, that is, the person who accidentally revealed the information of Arena Palace.""

I have transcribed this copy, and the original copy of the parchment scroll has been returned, and it should now be kept in the information room of the Eighth Precinct of the Security Corps."

In just a few words, Horden filled in more ins and outs of side information along the branches, so that Raypeters and Brutus could grasp the situation as much as possible, and perhaps their perspectives could dig up different discoveries, and maybe they could be an unexpected entry point to open up the situation."

Tramp?"

Ray Peters looked up, his eyes full of confusion at Hoden, and he thought he had mistaken the handwriting.No, Hoden nodded in affirmation, "The process of becoming a waiter requires us to go to a tailor's shop to make a handmade suit, and then we need to go to a medical examination center to have our bodies checked. ”"Robben and I went to investigate, and we were surprised to find that one of the potential conditions for a waiter was that they were young and strong men, including students, homeless people, and so on.Their disappearance may be difficult to notice. ”And Nightingale's investigative manual further confirms Holden's suspicions.Ray Peters adds, "There is nothing trivial about tailoring a suit and checking the body, and the hereditary aristocracy does require a waiter, the uniform must be meticulous, the body must be healthy and strong, and even the facial features must be correct." ”"Only the housekeepers and waiters who have been passed down from generation to generation are slightly different, and they will not be dismissed even if they have health problems, but they will still pay a little attention to the occasion of the banquet."

This is the part of the inside information that Holden doesn't know, "No wonder it didn't cause any suspicion before, it's a must for waiters." ”Thunder Peters nodded his head in affirmation, "But that's exactly the problem, it's a contradictory situation, and it doesn't make sense. ”Although Thunder Peters may be out of reach of Horden in terms of analytical and observational skills, when it comes to professional issues, Thunder Peters has a knowledge reserve that Horden does not have, which is a very important addition."

On the one hand, their requirements for the waiters were completely in accordance with aristocratic etiquette, even stricter than those of many ordinary aristocratic families; But on the other hand, their training time is so short that even a new waiter cannot train for a month and work directly. ”Raypeters' perspective was indeed different from that of Howlen, who later added, "Our training was only three days. ”"What?"

Ray Peters couldn't believe his ears, "Then it's even more abnormal, this is just nonsense, not to mention a noble dinner, even the simplest banquet, the training of waiters will not be such a child's play."

They didn't prepare for the banquet at all. ”"Do you know what a waiter needs to know for a banquet?""

Let's not talk about basic etiquette, when to serve what food, what food to pair with what wine, when to come forward and ask the guests for requirements, when to destroy their own sense of existence, when to refill the glass and when to shut up, what occasions to say what to say, what guests have and what preferences......

And so on and so forth. ”"Even if it's just table manners, it's impossible to learn them in just three days!

Especially for a dinner party attended by top nobles!

”Whed, but what Ray Peters had at his fingertips was an eye-opener for Hoden, and of course, Robben as well.()
