135 Unexpected Death
Kelly came back later than Captain Omar Hill. She just came back from Phoenix yesterday and was called by Viscount Tyrese.
Viscount Tyrese was Kelly's teacher at the Magic Academy. He took great care of her and was kind to her.
Kelly graduated as a civilian and joined the Knights, and became a captain at a young age. The speed of promotion was no less than that of aristocratic children, all because of the guidance of Viscount Tyrese.
But before that, Kelly didn't know Viscount Tyrese's overall plan.
It's not that Viscount Tyrese doesn't trust Kelly, but that he hopes that Kelly will become a high-ranking member of the Knights in the future, and he doesn't want her to be involved in these conspiracies for the time being, so as not to expose her feet and affect her future future.
In comparison, Bearded Bonnie is the blue-collar guy who specializes in doing dirty work.
However, with the defection of Butler Vikas, Viscount Tyrese also had health problems, which forced him to use Kelly in advance.
"Sister Kelly, what happened? Did the leader call everyone back?" Rudy asked in a low voice. These days, he just stared at the construction site and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the Knights.
Kelly said in a deep voice: "Deputy Captain Lucas was killed!"
Rudy was stunned for a moment, showing a surprised expression.
Before, he just made a casual move and found out that Director Sihak was killed for checking the monument design, so he passed the information on the 'blueprint' to Viscount Tyrese and Lieutenant Colonel Lucas through Bearded Bonnie.
As early as when he sold the house, Rudy discovered that the bearded Bonnie belonged to Viscount Tyrese.
Coupled with the ability of the Reincarnation Eye, everyone works in the same building, and it is not difficult to notice the close relationship between the bearded Bonnie and Lieutenant Colonel Lucas, as well as the cooperative relationship between Lieutenant Colonel Lucas and Viscount Tyrese.
Based on these, Rudy asked the bearded Bonnie to "accidentally" discover the anomaly in the monument drawings.
The purpose is to test the reaction of Lieutenant Colonel Lucas and Viscount Tyrese, maybe they can find out something.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement at all from Viscount Tyrese's side. Instead, Lieutenant Colonel Lucas fell into the trap as expected.
What makes Rudy a little surprised is that Lieutenant Colonel Lucas is not weak, and he actually died at the word of death!
Although he had thought about killing the annoying Lieutenant Colonel Lucas before, he never thought of dying alone so easily.
"Is it the same person who killed Director Sihak?" Rudy suddenly had a question in his mind, and then thought about whether the bearded Bonnie was also dead?
"Where's Bonnie?" Rudy asked a little abruptly.
Kelly didn't pay much attention. The two of them walked to the conference room upstairs and replied: "Go home, he was on night shift last night..."
As he finished speaking, he happened to reach the second floor and saw Bonnie, a bearded man, walking over with his head lowered.
"Hey? Bonnie, didn't you go home?" Kelly called.
The bearded Bonnie raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes. The beard he had always been proud of was unkempt, and the leather shoes on his feet were dirty. He looked in very bad condition.
"Kelly~Rudy~" Bonnie forced a smile and replied absently: "Uh, there's something else."
Kelly frowned. After all, she had been a colleague for several years and could tell that there was something on Bonnie's mind. However, Bonnie didn't say anything and she couldn't ask more questions. After all, the relationship was just a colleague.
Rudy knew, however, that Bearded Bonnie must have been frightened by Lucas's death.
I guess the so-called overtime work last night was just because I was too scared to go home.
Watching the bearded Bonnie leave, Rudy and Kelly walked upstairs and came to the conference room that was already mostly occupied.
This is the largest conference room of the Knights. The entire top brass of the Knights, the captains of each team, and those with the rank of captain and above, almost all came here in a hurry.
Captain Omar Hill sat on the rostrum with a sinking face. He exuded an intimidating aura that made people breathless as soon as they entered.
In front of the rostrum, there was a corpse covered with white cloth.
Rudy looked through the past, and it was Lieutenant Colonel Lucas.
The death of Lieutenant Colonel Lucas was very miserable, with three blood holes penetrating through his head, chest, and left ribs, which directly destroyed the magic core inside.
The bloody wounds made him almost deformed, and all the wounds were from the front, and none of them were from the back.
His right hand still held the knight's sword, as if it had grown in his hand, and he did not let go of it even before death, indicating that he fought until the last moment.
Although they were hostile to each other because of their personalities and interests, Rudy had to admit that Lieutenant Colonel Lucas was worthy of the honor of a knight when he died.
With emotions in their hearts, Rudy and Kelly found seats in the conference room and sat down.
After a few minutes, about ten more people came one after another.
Finally, Captain Omar Hill, who was sitting on the rostrum, slammed the table.
Bang!
Carrying the momentum that permeated the surroundings, this sound sounded like a thunder in everyone's ears, and many people were frightened to the point of shaking their bodies.
"Deputy Captain! The deputy captain of the Knights actually died within our own jurisdiction." Captain Omar Hill's voice was low, and he glanced at everyone present with a stern look: "You! Including me.
, you should all feel shame and anger! I don’t care what you think about Lucas, whether you are far or near, it doesn’t matter, please take action now! I will give you what you want, but before that, find out
The murderer, then...kill him!"
"yes!"
Everyone present stood up and almost answered in unison.
At this time, there was no gloating, and no one thought about whether they would have the opportunity to take over the vacated deputy captain's position after Lieutenant Colonel Lucas died.
As Captain Omar Hill said, it is an outright shame that the deputy leader was killed at his doorstep.
Of course, based on just a few words from Captain Omar Hill, it is impossible for everyone to get a shot of chicken blood.
What really boosted morale was that Captain Omar Hill hinted that whoever can find the murderer this time will receive a huge reward.
Even succeeding Lucas as deputy leader is not impossible.
However, the morale is high. No one above the rank of captain of the Knights is a fool, especially when they were assassinated by the Black Death Society last time, which made them put away their arrogant thoughts.
What's more, even Lieutenant Colonel Lucas knelt down this time. There are a few people in the entire Glinton City Knights who are confident that their strength can surpass Lieutenant Colonel Lucas!
So everyone simply ignored the last words of Captain Omar Hill. It was a great achievement to find the murderer. As for arresting or killing people, it was better to leave it to Captain Omar Hill himself.
With the clean and neat speech of Captain Omar Hill, this short meeting also came to an end.
Chapter completed!
