Chapter 126 Collecting Evidence

Just then, the nobleman, dressed in a magnificent blue suit, gracefully raised his hand and gently waved to Maurice's father at the door.

At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Model, over here!" His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the spacious hall.

Upon hearing someone call his name, Model, who had been standing at the door chatting with someone, suddenly turned around and his gaze quickly locked onto the direction where Ranach and the others were.

He walked slowly toward us with a smile on his face and unhurried steps.

As Model drew nearer, Ranach's heart skipped a beat, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.

After all, now is not the time to discuss these things; let's wait for a more suitable opportunity later.

Soon, Model walked over and sat down in the empty seat that had been made by the others.

The nobleman in the blue suit watched him with a smile the whole time, and only after Model was settled did he ask with concern:

"Mr. Model, how have you been lately?" Before the words were even finished, the nobleman had already reached out and picked up an exquisite box from beside him.

As the lid was gently lifted, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. Everyone looked closely and saw a neatly arranged pile of brightly colored...

These are high-quality medicinal herbs. Judging from their appearance alone, these herbs are clearly top-grade, and their luxuriousness and sophistication are astonishing.

Immediately afterward, the nobleman slightly raised his head, turned his gaze back to Moder, and said slowly, "This box was specially sent to Liyue by someone I dispatched."

These are freshly picked herbs. I heard Mr. Model has been feeling a little unwell lately, so I'm sending this box of herbs in the hope that it will help him recover.

Model's face lit up with a hint of joy. "Oh? Well then, thank you very much, Lord Ridleyford. I never expected you to be so kind."

"I gratefully accept your kindness," Rileyford said, then waved to a waiter who poured Moder a drink.

While the group chatted, outside, Leycare and Peruvier were disguised as a bush and rapidly approaching the villa.

Kailer: !

"Damn it, Leyi, you stepped on my foot!"

"Huh? Oh my god, I'm so sorry, it's too dark, I can't see anything. Hey, Peruvieri, move back a bit, I'm about to be squeezed out!"

"...I always said we should move to a larger patch of grass," the voices of the group caught the attention of a reconnaissance officer stationed near the villa.

Finally, the robotic dog slowly walked towards the bushes where the group was. At this moment, Leyi peeked out and watched as the robotic dog slowly approached her.

The group eventually quieted down until the robot dog reached the bushes, where the camera in front of it was glowing and spinning back and forth.

The very next second, a sharp Tenmoku Shadow Blade suddenly emerged from the bushes, instantly piercing the robot dog through.

The three quickly dragged the robot dog into the bushes. A few crackling sounds attracted the attention of the other wind-up mechanisms.

But as the sound faded, the several clockwork mechanisms failed to locate its source, and the night returned to silence. At this moment, Leyi poked her head out again.

He glanced outside, "Hmm, not discovered," then quickly pulled his head back inside. At this point, Kelly asked, "What about this mechanical dog?"

Leyi then fell into thought, and began rummaging through the robot dog's parts. Suddenly, she found something that looked like a metal ball.

Then, looking puzzled, he asked, "Kailer, what is this?" Looking at the iron ball, Kailer seemed to realize something and said:

"I've seen this in a book; it's supposed to be a type of bomb used for reconnaissance and recording purposes, capable of creating an electric arc within a small area."

"Oh~, bomb, bomb!" Then, taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding clockwork mechanisms were not paying attention to the bushes, Le Yi suddenly stood up.

He quickly wound up the iron ball, then hurled it in one direction before swiftly retreating back into the grass.

As expected, the iron ball eventually exploded outside, creating a small-scale electric field.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the surrounding clockwork mechanisms, and the three of them seized the opportunity to quickly run with the bushes to a corner of a flower bed next to the villa.

Seeing that the surroundings were very safe, Leyi excitedly danced around in the grass. Peruvier then asked, "Leyi, what should we do next?"

After hearing this, Le Yi revealed a triumphant smile and asked, "Can you two walk on stilts?"

At the same time, Che Hui and the other two also sneaked into the cave warehouse. They saw that the warehouse was filled with books.

And some other things she didn't recognize. Claire, curious, asked, "Tch...uh, Ninth Brother, is this a library?"

After hearing this, Qiehui replied, "When there are no outsiders around, you can just call me by my name. Also, if I'm not mistaken about these things around us..."

"It's probably ledgers or something, or something shady," Claire said in surprise upon hearing this.

"The ledger, isn't that what Lei wanted?" Chehui nodded slightly at this moment, and seeing this, Claire and Lily also picked up their cameras.

He walked around and picked up a lot of books. Upon opening them, he discovered that they contained records of tax evasion and illegal transactions.

Of course, Claire and Lily couldn't understand any of this either; they only knew that Rae had said there were ledgers, files, and photos on the walls in the cellar.

They wanted to take pictures of everything, and if possible, also take a few books with them. After taking a few more photos, Clementine and Lily put a few books into their backpacks.

After seeing that the two had finished dealing with the situation, Che Hui led them deeper into the cave, where they found many rooms.

Some rooms were locked, and some were unlocked. After entering the unlocked rooms, the group discovered many photos with portraits drawn on the walls.

The portraits all had red crosses drawn on them, and all the photos were connected by a red line. Clementine couldn't understand it at all, but she still took the photos.

The three of them wandered around each room several times, taking many photos. As they walked further in, they discovered a staircase leading underground.

After going down the stairs and turning a corner, the three of them saw the Fontaine nobleman with his back to them. Che Hui reacted quickly as well.

She quickly pulled the two of them to a corner, and Qiehui peeked out to watch the nobleman selecting many bottled items.

"Those must be Les," Chehui thought to herself, while Lily, who was hiding behind, moved slightly and accidentally ran to a counter at the back.

Immediately afterwards, a small glass bottle on the counter fell to the ground with a very crisp shattering sound.

The noise instantly caught the attention of the nobleman in front. "Who goes there!" the nobleman exclaimed, quickly turning his head.

But no one noticed. Chehui blocked the two of them with her hand and hid in the alley. The nobleman, seeing that no one was around,...

He then addressed the suppression and annihilation units nearby, saying, "Go check over there." Upon receiving the order, the units...

He then headed towards where Kirie and the others were. Kirie, seeing the mechanism approaching, began to get anxious.

The enemy possessed the Eye of God, and Cherie also had to protect Clévy and Lily. For safety's sake, Cherie didn't want to take direct action.

But these traps were rapidly approaching the alley. As time passed, the two traps finally arrived at the alley's entrance.

But looking further in, they found the alley empty. The nobleman arrived at the alley entrance, glanced around, and also saw nothing.

He only saw the broken bottle on the floor, which confirmed that there was definitely someone else in the room. He then thought of closing the door.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak," before he could even touch the doorknob, he suddenly heard the squeaking of mice coming from inside the room. Finally, the nobleman looked into the room.

"Hmph, they built a cellar, and there are still rats. That Lanach fellow," the nobleman said, before continuing to provoke the rats.

Just then, a drop of water suddenly dripped from the ceiling of the alley, and it was then discovered that Kirie was bracing herself against the two walls with her limbs.

He was propped up against the ceiling, with Clementine on his back and Lily tightly hugging Kirie's chest.

And that mouse squeak sound just now was exactly what Chehui imitated.
