"I knew it! I knew it!" Hughes's face became even more sorrowful even when he began to mourn howling.
"In this case, there is a turning point. Haha, Master Hughes. The information you provided is very important. I have to go back immediately. Well, I have to ask Fagare at the Viscount Monsong's house. Maybe, I can find it directly from here. What happened to the murderer after the scene? Oh yes, Master Hughes, your friend is indeed Fagare? Menson is right!" Sheriff Deka suddenly got up, his face covered with excitement, and he waved vigorously. Take a fist.
Mrs. Betty looked at her son and got up at the same time. She smiled: "Then trouble Master Deka. If there is any good news, please send an officer to tell us in time."
"This is of course, thanks to the Xueshan black tea in the house, and thanks to Master Hughes for your cooperation. I believe that luck is on your side, and the case will soon be over!" Master Deca thanked the master gracefully, from the perspective of Hughes Look, this magistrate is indeed confident, which makes him somewhat happy.
Mrs. Betty and Hughes have always sent Baron Deka to the gate of the castle. From the perspective of the noble class, this is already a very sincere performance. Deca is very satisfied with it. After secretly deciding to go back, he must redouble his efforts and strive to conclude the case perfectly within a week.
"In this case, I am sure Lord Earl and Lord Gael will be satisfied! Ha ha!" On the face of Lord Deka riding, the smile could not help but bloom.
When Mrs. Betty and her son returned to the main hall, Hughes wanted to sneak away without thinking, to avoid seeing her mother's smile. However, things didn't come as she wished. Mrs. Betty didn't seem to want to let go of Niannen's son. She stopped Hughes intentionally or unintentionally.
"Shuth, don't go yet, there is something else to tell you!" Mrs. Betty said behind her.
"Ah! Oh, good!" Hughes immediately looked downcast and turned back to sit on the sofa. However, this completely diminished appearance of the spirit spirit made the mother laugh even more.
"Oh, my good son, why are you sick like this?" Mrs. Betty continued to tease him. She didn't realize it, just one night after the incident, her already steady image has undergone minor changes.
This change is not in appearance, but in mentality. It was as if one night, when she had entered middle age, she suddenly rejuvenated her youthful vitality, just like a bi-decade girl, she became fond of pranks.
So far, no one has discovered this except Raul, the housekeeper who assisted Mrs. Betty in managing the family's housekeeping. Moreover, what everyone does not know is that Raul Butler not only found the changes of Betty, but also the changes of Viscount Gael and Master Hughes, he looked at it.
"Master Hughes's breakthrough really brought a lot of different new weather to the family!" At the entrance of the main hall at a suitable distance from Betty's mother and son, Raul's housekeeper whispered with a slight smile, a breath of peace and joy from him Body lightly diffused.
Faced with his mother's question, Hughes was quite speechless. Since he was sensible, he hasn't seen his mother tease him for a long time, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
"Mom~" Hughesra complained, but did not expect that this slightly lovely expression of dissatisfaction caused Mrs. Betty another laugh.
For a while, the Betty talent who had a pain in her stomach stopped, and at this time, she also felt a little inappropriate, but the joy of being immersed in the mother-child relationship made her want to stop.
"Okay, huh, Hughes, did you really tell this thing? Did you tell anyone else?" Seeing Hughes was about to get angry, Mrs. Betty could easily put the smile on her heart, Try to ask your son more information in a bland tone.
Hughes was helpless: "It's him alone! Who knows this bad love is selling me again!"
"Rotten Love Saint? Is it Gareth? Haha, your little one knows what Love Saint means!" Mrs. Betty shook her head unconsciously and smiled, "Hope is indeed what he spreads. , It’s easy to find the nobility involved, and the case is clear."
"Love Saint? Love Saint is not the bed of different women every day, how could I not know, look down upon me!" Hughes murmured in disappointment at the mother's words.
"What are you talking about!" Suddenly, Mrs. Betty's voice suddenly stern, she stared at her son very dissatisfied, and reprimanded.
The reason is very simple. Just now Hughes's self-talk was heard by his mother.
Think about it, how a 14-year-old child said in front of his mother, "Going to a different woman's bed", how could this not cause the mother's shame and embarrassment.
Hughes knew the bad things as soon as he spoke. At the moment, when he heard the screams of his mother, he immediately shrunk his head and his face was close to his chest.
Mrs. Betty looked at her son with her head hanging, and had a headache.
She also knows clearly that at this age, if it is a girl, the family will organize banquets and dances for her to meet the corresponding boys, and immediately afterwards, it will be about the exchange of marriage. Of course, this is in line with each other’s wishes. And conditions are carried out among the nobility.
For boys, at the age of 14, it is quite normal to appear obsessive about girls. She has experienced this period herself and is now a mother again, of course she understands the minds of the boys in this period.
Just like Fagare, the son's friend, she had heard many rumors and even gossip about the handsome boy. But she and Gail never asked her son to stay away from each other. Because, in the aristocracy, no one really thinks how shameful feelings and sexual matters are. On the contrary, sensible adults all agree that this is a stage that children must go through themselves.
Mrs. Betty knows this truth, but from her own situation, the difficulty is here.
For the Houghton family, she and Gal have only one child, so Hughes is the only heir. This is of course a noble identity, but it is also a heavy burden for a son who is only 14 years old.
In order to be able to take on this heavy responsibility, from the age of five, Hughes began to train him strictly and gradually, and he invited his son to teach him cultural knowledge.
It can be said that in the past ten years, his son Hughes has lived under a high pressure.
Parents’ expectations of their sons and family needs have severely compressed Hughes’s world, forcing a child to work hard to carry many things that should not be borne by the child.
Therefore, before the ambush incident, Hughes always had a lot of dissatisfaction with the severe father. Although he still loves Gael, the usual coldness and silence are obviously the children's silent protest. Even from Betty's own perspective, she also found that her son's dependence on her is getting less and less, and words are getting less and less.
Such things always make parents irrepressible grief, but they can not relax, they can only suffer silently with their sons. Betty had been saddened by this for a long time. If it were not for her own wisdom and Gael's persuasion, she might not be able to bear the coldness between mother and child.
Soon Hughes grew up to this day, and new problems have come again, or the most troublesome problems related to feelings. Faced with such uncontrollable circumstances, smart and capable, such as Mrs. Betty, had to soothe her sigh.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Betty still had to frown, smart and capable like her, and couldn't come up with a perfect solution to her son's emotional problems in such a short time.
In fact, people's feelings have no fixed form and pattern at all, so their own and even the experience of the previous generation have no special effect on Hughes at this moment. Even if he decides to apply it violently, he may cause huge damage to Hughes and force him to become a new member of the rebellious child.
This is definitely not what Mrs. Betty, the mother of Hughes, wants to see!
So, Mrs. Betty had to suspend the discussion on the matter first, and simply turned the subject to other directions: "Okay, since Mr. Deca has left, we don’t have to sit here silly, just do whatever we want. Let’s, for example, continue to take a shower!” At this point, Betty remembered what she saw when she rushed into the bathroom. She smiled involuntarily. This was the happy smile from the heart of the mother when she faced the growth of her son.
Mrs. Betty raised her tone in a weird manner. While smiling at Hughes with some inexplicable and uncomfortable feeling, she spoke again: "Hughes, Mom is very happy to see you are becoming a man! Haha, but you have to remember Pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of key parts! Ha ha~!"
This smile, Hughes understood everything, his face was red, he couldn't say a word, and he ran to the bedroom, turning his mother's laughter far behind.
Hughes returned to the bedroom with a sigh of relief, his face still flushed, and his heart was so suffocated that he was uncomfortable but unable to vent. So, feeling that his body was burning, he immediately remembered the bathtub.
At this time, because of the conversation with the magistrate, a short time has passed, so the water temperature has dropped, which is the most suitable temperature for the fire. Hughes tried it only with his hand and quickly stripped off and jumped in.
"Wow, it's so comfortable!" The warm water submerged Hughes' whole body. The feeling of gentleness and relaxation immediately hit his mind. He involuntarily relaxed his body and floated halfway up in the bathtub.
At the same time, Lord Sheriff is riding a horse on the road back to the main palace.
The good news from Hughes was like a Qingquan spring, coupled with the cool wind that quickly passed across his face. All the fiery anger generated by the attack on the nobility yesterday in his heart quickly dissipated in the passing air.
At this time, not only did he not feel scorched last night, but he was relaxed and comfortable, and he could even describe it with his spirit.
"It's already obvious. It must have been a stunned young man who was doing good things because of jealousy. As long as I start tracing from Fagare and Dhaka Manor, I can definitely figure out the ins and outs of the ambush. Let this scandal happen It’s going to end quickly, I’m sure both Lord Lord and Viscount Gael will remember my abilities. Haha~!”
Thinking of this, Master Deka was even more excited, throwing his hand and whipping **** the horse's hip. The horse screamed and rushed forward. At this time, he did not care about his image among the civilians, only hoping to reach Earl's Palace faster.
It didn't take long for Baron deka to reach the gate of the city's main palace. He swiftly dismounted and gave the reins to the servants next to him, and quickly rushed in without notice.
Fortunately, he was a regular visitor to Earl's Court, otherwise, the guards next to him did not hesitate and then retreated, but stopped him directly.
"Master Earl, Lord Earl, there are new clues!" Baron Deka yelled before reaching the living room, and the maid next to him sank quickly and asked to make way.
Just when he broke into the main hall, the glorious city host, Count Alpha Phoenix turned around, his brow furrowed, and he was obviously not satisfied with the loud cry of the visitor.
"Pay attention to your image, Baron!" Alfa is over forty years old, and because of his long standing in the upper body, his body is full of majestic breath, and the slightly dissatisfied whisper into Deka's ear scared him, He was so excited that he quickly converged his proud look.
"Yes, lord, I'm sick, please forgive me." Deca honestly apologized and saluted.
Earl Alpha glanced at him again, only to see that he did return to his usual state, and then waved his hand casually, saying: "Forget it, pay attention to it later. Do you have new clues about last night?"
Count Alpha was actually quite concerned about this case of assault on the nobility.
The glorious city under his rule has not happened for many years to shake the nobles. This time, just because the words "ambush, kill, junior swordsman" came from the public security office, it has made dozens of nobles uneasy, and even a few came to the door to ask about the situation.
This is not a trivial matter. If the nobility is not satisfied, even the dual status of his city host and earl is not enough to suppress the nobility group's protest.
Such a situation arises, not only is your reputation damaged, but perhaps Guangyao City will be messed up. This is by no means the earl of Alpha, who is the city owner.
Deka’s inquiry made Deka a little more excited. He walked in a few steps and reported: "Master Hughes of the Gaelic family has not suffered much, and I found an important clue from the conversation with them. This is the ambush. Possible motive behind the murderer."
"Oh?" Count Alpha's eyes lighted up, "So if the public security office is in trouble, the culprit will soon be found? This is good news. There are already a few nobles in the city who have sent people to ask, and I have a headache."
"This... Lord Earl, we only found the most likely motive. As for the correct answer, I can't guarantee it!" Deka sweated on his forehead.
"It's just the most likely motive?" The earl frowned once again after hearing his words, and he said helplessly: "Okay, the case still needs to be solid. After all, it involves the son of Viscount Gael. You first Listen to that motive."
"Yes, it might be Master Hughes' own reason..."
"You mean children's revenge?!" The earl immediately interrupted the other party when he heard this, and he immediately thought of the most probable situation from his own experience.
"Uh, similar to the reason you said, sir!" The sheriff gently rejected the city owner's statement. "In fact, after my communication with Mrs. Betty, the most likely reason is jealousy!"
"Jealous? You mean the jealousy of other noble children!" Lord Earl was angry, and he scolded in his heart, just because of this small mood, such a big thing happened, if you let him know which family did it, it must be Will give his family a profound lesson.
