Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 169: Safety rope
Chapter 665 Safety Rope
On the stage, Origi finally closed his eyes in the arms of his lover, the chorus sounded, and the drama gradually came to an end.
The curtain call began, and the actors of "Hua Die Jing Chang Lu" stepped onto the stage one after another, accepting applause and applause from the audience.
But at this moment, Thales looked down from the top and noticed an acquaintance: in charge of his security (or surveillance) affairs, as long as Thales went out of the palace these days, he would never leave Sergeant Kaguire next to the prince.
At this moment, in the dimly lit theater, Kaguire hid behind a curtain, talking to another well-dressed audience member, who danced and danced, while Kaguile looked back carefully from time to time, as if afraid As if discovered.
Thales frowned. He stood up and leaned against the railing, pretending to see the actor's curtain call, but in fact he called out the crime of prison river and listened to Kaguilei's movements.
"I don't understand, what must be said here now?" Police Officer Kaguire's voice was a little dissatisfied.
"I want to talk about it elsewhere!"
The audience turned their backs to Thales, but his voice was very familiar to the young man: "But look at you, Police Officer Kaguilei, your prosperity is not what it used to be, where is the time to drink with old friends?" A glass of wine? Can't I only come here to find you?"
"We've stopped dating a long time ago! I don't have any money to lend you to gamble," Kaguilei said indifferently, rejecting others, "I'm on official business, no matter what happens, wait for me to get off work—no, shift Let’s talk.”
The security officer turned around and left after speaking.
Just when Thales thought it was some poor relative who came to ask someone to borrow money, the audience said coldly, which made the prince's nerves arouse:
"The case of Diop."
Kaguire gave a big meal.
In Hell Senses, Thales heard the audience take a deep breath: "The trial hall, including the security hall, they want me to be the defender of the dead."
Kaguilei turned around slowly, with a cautious tone:
"Really? That's still a coincidence."
Defender...
Thales remembered something, and instantly recognized the identity of the audience.
"What a coincidence, they want me..." The audience snorted, "I read the file and also checked the court records of the debtor lord. Diop was not killed by him, let alone burglarized. Right?"
"So what? We all know what you are capable of, Manny, and that's the end of the sentence for that lord—isn't that why they came to you?"
The man called Manny sneered:
"Don't pretend, Kaguire, others don't know, but we all know what Diop does! You must have received money from him, right?"
Kaguile was stunned and became nervous:
"I, I don't know what you're talking about..."
Thales frowned more and more.
But Manny shook his head:
"Don't worry, I'm not here to supervise the integrity of the government. But listen, I went to the barber's people to buy information for a case a few days ago, and I heard that the gangsters are very restless recently, and their swords are on the verge..."
"Hey, what are you doing, one red and one black gangsters will be at war one day, as long as they keep their heads and don't be stupid enough to hit the streets, and then pay enough people--"
"No! Listen to me!"
Manny paused and lowered his voice:
"Two guys in the Blood Bottle Gang died 'accidentally', very close to Diop's death..."
Secretary Officer Kaguire wondered:
"Which two guys?"
Manny took a deep breath:
"I dare not say, I suspect that I just think too much, I hope so, I hope it's just my occupational disease, but, but..."
Manny grabbed Kaguire's arm and pulled him an inch closer to the corner, as if this would protect them a little tighter:
"For the sake of helping you write reports to avoid disasters in the past and exonerate those subordinates who caused troubles, Kaguire, you just need to tell me one sentence, one exact sentence: the person who killed Diop , is it..."
The man called Manny stretched out his hand nervously and pointed upwards.
In the detection of the senses of hell, Kaguilei's breathing became heavier.
After a few seconds, the security officer raised his face:
"Listen, Manny, it's also for the sake of old love: don't ask me about things you shouldn't know, as long as there's nothing wrong with you."
Manny gasped:
"Is that true? Damn it, I knew it, I knew there was something wrong with this case..."
"Manny."
"It has something to do with the second prince, right? His Excellency the Duke is in the same situation as him..."
"Manny..."
"But they are big men fighting, why do they implicate us..."
"Manny!" Kaguire yelled at him, his voice very serious.
Manny shuddered.
"Well, you go home, drink a glass of wine, lie down, do something pleasant, and get up the next day to work as usual," the police officer's tone softened, and he patted Manny on the shoulder, "Think about your family, your wife who is still in the country, and your parents..."
Manny shuddered again.
He laughed reluctantly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, Kaguire, old man, I can't panic, I have to stay calm, I still have work..."
Manny turns tremblingly, joining the standing ovation.
The police officer Kaguilei looked at his back with a blank expression on his face.
On the box on the second floor, Thales gripped the railing in front of him tightly, taking back the crime of prison river.
That person—the defender Slimani who defended in front of Thales and Jan in the trial court not long ago—knows something about Diop's death.
Thinking together, the boy looked at Slimani, who was distraught in the crowd, and subconsciously turned to Mallos:
“Thor——”
But halfway through the conversation, Thales noticed: Wyah, Nehi, Morgan, Itariano, and the Star Lake guards were all surrounded by people from the Emerald City—from the staff of the Security Office to the guards of the Emerald Legion .
Not to mention the guards standing in all directions in the theater.
It is much stricter than before.
Thales was worried, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and smiled apologetically at Mallos who gave him a questioning look, indicating that there was nothing wrong.
A face approached in front of him:
"You are not watching the curtain call."
Thales was startled and fell back to his seat: "Ah! Damn it! Hilley!"
Prince was taken aback, and asked Miss Cecilia who had unknowingly approached the railing:
"Where did you come from?"
But Xi Lai narrowed his eyes and shook a palm-sized drawing board in his hand:
"What you really care about is the person who talked to Kaguire just now?"
What?
The person who talked to Kaguire...
Thales looked at Slimani on the first floor, amazed.
"You——"
"How do I know?"
Hilley looked towards the first floor: "Although you were staring at the stage just now, it looked like I was in class when I was a child - and when you came back to your senses, the first thing you looked at was Kaguilei and his friend."
Huh?
Thales blinked in surprise, but hadn't reacted yet.
Why is this guy's power of observation... so fine?
But before he thought of how to defend himself, he was attracted by the drawing board in Xilai's hand:
On the drawing paper, a handsome young man is leaning on the railing and looking ahead, but he seems absent-minded and preoccupied.
"What is this?" Thales asked stupidly.
"Your profile sketch," Xi Lai shook the drawing board, and the handsome young man on it vibrated back and forth, "When you just pretended to be staring at the stage—look, do you understand?"
Hmm, the drawing is quite similar?
Thales subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but Hille retracted the drawing board with a swipe, like magic:
"Sorry, not for you!"
Thales came back to his senses and frowned:
"How did you do this?"
Hile shrugged.
"So, the guy who talked to Kaguire just now? What's wrong with him?"
Damn it.
Thales had a headache.
"He is...should be the defender of the Diop case."
Hilley rolled her eyes:
"And you just called your nanny first, and then shut up in time, because you were worried, because no matter who you send to chase that person, you may repeat the same mistakes, and you can't hide it from Zhan En's eyes and ears, so you can scare the snake?"
Damn it, he hates smart people.
Thales sighed, but then had an idea:
"You, Hilley, can you divert everyone's attention and let my people bypass Zhan En's eyes and ears and follow him?"
Thales rubbed his hands together:
"You know—misleading?"
Hile looked around, and also had a panoramic view of the guards—whether it was Star Lake Castle or the Emerald City.
"No, no, don't even think about it."
Miss Cecilia was decisive, making Thales' hopes come to nothing.
But only a second later, Hilley smiled:
"But well, I have a better idea."
Looking at Miss Kevin Dill's smile, Thales suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Do you like me?"
"What?" Thales was surprised.
"Want to date me?"
"What?" Thales repeated with widened eyes.
Hile narrowed his eyes: "The answer is wrong, try again."
Again?
Dating?
At that second, Thales reacted instantly, terrified:
"Oh, no."
Hile nodded, smiling as before:
"Oh, yes."
The next moment, before Thales could react, Hilley stood up and waved to Mallos:
"Hey, babysitter!"
Nanny?
Everyone froze for a moment.
"Yes, it's you! Nanny! That's the cutest!"
A few seconds later, Mallos took a deep breath, maintained a calm expression, and stepped forward under everyone's strange eyes.
"Your Highness, Miss?"
Thales just wanted to speak, but Hille covered his mouth:
"Oh, I'm going on a date with His Royal Highness Thales, two people, um, private."
Hile narrowed his eyes and raised his voice:
"You, you won't be disturbed, will you?"
Huh?
Huai Ya and the others all turned their heads with wonderful expressions.
Mallos had a strange expression on his face and cast a questioning look at Thales.
Thales stared wide-eyed, he smiled awkwardly at Mallos, pulled Xi Lai aside, and lowered his voice:
"Well, if we leave the team..."
"Jen will not suspect that you are playing tricks, because I was the one who dragged you out." Xi Lai spoke plausibly.
"Yeah, he's only going to be angry, very angry...wait, that's not the point!"
"Yes, the point is that we are ahead of everyone else to find your target and ask... whatever you want to ask."
"That's not the point!" Thales gritted his teeth, "I am the prince, you are... Ms. Kevin Dill, what if we leave the brigade and something happens?"
I had an accident, and the kingdom has no heir.
If you have an accident, Jann will probably leave the kingdom without a descendant.
"There are 'accidents' every day, everyone will have 'accidents'," Xi Lai shook his head, not caring, "but often those who are afraid of accidents are the most likely to have accidents."
"No, you don't understand..."
"Oh, are you scared?"
Thales was taken aback, he turned cold and shook his finger:
"No, don't use such a low-level general, I won't be fooled."
"Are you so afraid of going out on the street alone?"
"No, it's not a question of whether I'm afraid..."
"Tsk tsk, poor little prince, he dare not leave the house without a guard."
"I——I won't argue with you about this, we must have a better way than fighting in person..."
"But you want to avoid Jen's surveillance and avoid repeating the same mistakes yesterday, right?"
"Yes, but..."
"Now, three lives have been lost, and there may be more, and we are still kept in the dark about the battle situation," Xi Lai sighed, "You don't like this, do you?"
"That's right - hey, those are my words!"
"My brother said, do you like to return the original words?"
"I don't like it - don't learn from him!"
"Are you coming or not?"
"No, I, I am the heir to the kingdom, the matter is important..."
"Yes, it's too important. Presumably the stars didn't exist before you were born?"
"You - no, there are so many people behind me, if something happens to me..."
"Forget it," Xi Lai snorted coldly, giving up persuasion, "You can stay with your nannies forever, little princess Thales."
Thales' expression changed.
Hile turned and left, shaking his head in disdain:
"I will go by myself."
Thales stretched out his hand, but didn't stop her, he could only watch Xi Lai walk out of the box:
"No, wait..."
Thales sat back in his seat and rubbed his head painfully.
Damn it!
After a few seconds, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and called Mallos.
"Thor, do you still remember the five ways to go from the main hall to the Jackal Tower in Star Lake Castle?"
From the main hall to the Jackal Tower...
Mallos glanced at the direction Hilley left:
"Yes?"
"Then do you remember the fifth way?"
Mallos was slightly taken aback.
"You mean ~IndoMTL.com~ through the window and through the roof?"
Thales smiled apologetically, and then said cautiously:
"Now, maybe, maybe, probably, or, um, need a little root...safety rope?"
"Safety rope?"
Mallos understood something, and his expression turned cold instantly.
Thales looked at him with guilt and embarrassment, rubbed his hands subconsciously, only felt that the captain of the personal guard in front of him was like a black cloud, "That, you, do you have it?"
Mallos turned his head again, looked in the direction where Xi Lai was leaving, and then looked at Thales.
"If I have a choice, Your Highness," the watchman said blankly, "I would say no."
Thales smiled carefully, his smile was extremely ugly:
"Then you, hey, hey, do you have a choice?"
Mallos looked at him coldly, just like in Star Lake Fort, looking at that silly dog who always ran after birds and cats and never got tired of it:
"No."
