Hearing unusual noises coming from the manor, Wayne called Doug, left the kitchen and ran directly to the so-called "master bedroom" on the upper floor of the main house. From what he had learned, Miss Harrison would stay there to accompany her father most of the time during these days. As for the other direction where the sound and movement are coming from, ignore it for now. Bodyguard? The sky and the earth are not as big as the goal you are protecting. Wayne doesn't want the first customer of his detective agency to be open-minded or imaginative. Fortunately, after Wayne arrived at the corridor on the third floor, Seeing that Clint, who was traveling with him, and Ryan from his own detective agency were still guarding the door of the "master bedroom", he felt relieved. Although it is called the "master bedroom", it is actually a large suite consisting of several rooms.
In addition to the bedrooms in the narrow sense, there are also relatively private living rooms, bathrooms, cloakrooms, etc. If you look carefully, there may be hidden storage rooms or the like. When I walked in, I saw that Inissa and Lina were there, and the family doctor and the servant who was helping them also looked calm. Miss Harrison was indeed safe and sound. Even the steel merchant was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Hmm... You can’t say his situation is “good,” but that’s roughly the idea. "What's going on down there?" asked Miss Harrison. "I haven't gone to see it yet. I came here directly after hearing the noise." Miss Harrison nodded slightly. Then her gangster brother seemed to come to the outside of the master bedroom with his men. His voice suddenly became louder outside: "Even I can't go in?!" "I'm sorry, sir. But please cooperate with our work." This was Doug's voice explaining. “Get out of the way!” "terribly sorry." Several people in the room looked over there at the same time. Miss Harrison sighed slightly, "Let them in." … When Wayne walked to the door, the atmosphere outside was already a little tense.
Among the people following the gangster, two had already pulled out their weapons, both of which were short-barreled double-barreled shotguns. Doug, who followed Wayne upstairs, stood in the middle of the door. The two bodyguards who were originally guarding outside the door still stood in the distance, silently cheering him on. After all, this gangster young master was also a family member of the employer's family, so the bodyguards were relatively polite. Although they all showed their weapons, they did not draw them. Wayne glanced at everyone. "The patient needs quiet. Master Philip can come in, and everyone else stay outside." According to Wayne's understanding, This gangster's son would not attack his father who had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. After all, according to the currently known situation, once this steel merchant dies, his will will take effect and be made public, which will be disadvantageous to him. And if this gangster wanted to attack Miss Harrison, there were several people watching him inside, so he might not be able to do it alone. Philip Blake's eyes caught Wayne's face, and Wayne looked back calmly. After a while, the gangster raised his hand and signaled his men to put away their weapons. "Wait here." Then the room entered into a fake visit, and the brother and sister blandly dug up each other's dark history and hurled trash talk at each other. Wayne and his friends, as well as the family doctor and servants who were also in the room, pretended not to hear anything. Occasionally, they would look at each other silently, and sigh that it seemed that the money earned by the other party was not easy. Fortunately, the guy who had just had dinner with Wayne was actually a bodyguard companion of the Extraordinary Man, and he came over not long after. He came to report the unexpected situation that just happened: "Just now, a maid said that when she went to the cellar to get the spare red wine, she accidentally found a strange intruder in the manor. There seems to be no casualties at the moment, but we haven't been able to search for the intruder yet." "Huh? Intruder?" The gangster's son immediately acted like he was so angry that he laughed. "My father just had an accident a few days ago. Has this family reached the point where anyone can break in at will? Or is this your way of managing? If you can't do it, then I will arrange for my people to come over." Miss Harrison sat on the edge of the bed without looking up: "Philip, stop pretending that you care about the manor. How often did you come back before father's accident? And if father wakes up, he will never allow your 'companions' to take over the manor." Then there was another dark history. Wayne was listening to the story of a gangster's son who was kicked out of his home because he pretended to invest in business but actually hung out in casinos. He was imagining how he later succeeded in getting promoted by mixing with the gang, when the butler also came over. The steward brought the latest version of the explanation: "Ms. Bain is a new maid. She just took the wrong road in the manor and got frightened. As for the so-called 'intruder', it was actually me who went to the warehouse for a routine inspection. When I came back, the kerosene in the lantern just ran out." Miss Harrison accepted the butler's explanation directly, and looked at her brother in a demonstrative manner, "You heard it too, Philip." Finally, the gangster young master mentioned several "regrettable" public security incidents in the city with a hint of meaning. It was unclear who he was trying to scare, and then he walked away.
Wayne looked out the window and thought that the moonlight tonight was actually quite good, so he shouldn't mistake someone he knew for someone familiar. So he confirmed it, "Do we really not need to bring people to confirm the intruder?" Miss Harrison and the housekeeper both shook their heads: "No, but thank you." … Afterwards, Wayne actually confirmed with the bodyguard who went to investigate and the maid. There was an obvious discrepancy between what the maid said twice. Although Wayne still felt that this matter was strange, it was not surprising that rich people's homes would have some strange little secrets. Anyway, the employer expressed trust in the housekeeper, and the housekeeper gave a relatively reasonable story, so it probably wasn't a dangerous thing. If we investigate seriously, we might never know who is having an affair with whom in the shadows. Unfortunately, this possibility was ruled out that evening. After twelve o'clock at night, Wayne and Doug took over Lina and Ryan's shift and continued to guard outside the master bedroom. Lina seemed to feel that she had not exercised enough today, so she took Peter for a walk in the manor before going to bed. Then he saw someone acting suspiciously in the shadows, shouting and trying to run away, so Peter knocked the person down. Wayne brought ropes to help "tie up the dumplings" and "drag the bodies". Holding the kerosene lamp, I looked at Hey, he's really someone who you can tell has a criminal record at first glance. ——The old white man that Wayne met when he was "in jail" in Kansas City.
