Meg wasn't very adept at disposing of corpses, but Alex was. As such, he was able to turn the situation into one where one of them had been killed, while the other escaped with severe injuries.
After returning to the dining room, Meg calmly burned his bloodstained clothes to remove all possible traces. He then went upstairs to take a shower before returning to his room. He turned on the small lamp on his desk and unrolled the parchment.
The bloodstained parchment contained information about a person. According to the portrait, Meg could tell that the handsome young man in the portrait was none other than the bearded man that he had just buried.
"Noah Gould …" Meg murmured to himself before carefully reading through the information recorded on the parchment.
He had already roughly scanned through the information recorded on the parchment, which was why he had decided to hide the bearded man's body.
Noah Gould was the eldest son of the current generation of the Gould Family. He was quite handsome and talented, and was quite a renowned young master in Rodu when he was young.
The ancestor of the Gould Family had once been the king's chef, and had once sacrificed his life to save the king from an assassination attempt. As such, the Gould Family became one of the nobles of Rodu, but after a few generations, they had already declined to become a third-rate noble family.
Noah Gould was believed to be the heir to the Gould Family, but he fell in love with the same elven woman as Young Master Timothy of the Barkley Family, and the Gould Family was destroyed.
Four years ago, Gould fled Rodu with his wife and half-elf daughter, and they were the only survivors of the Gould Family. After that, they disappeared without a trace.
Timothy sent people to hunt them down, and Baizen was one of those people, which led to the events that had transpired tonight.
Meg carefully browsed through the information as well as some of his memories of Rodu. After about 10 minutes, he slowly put down the parchment in his hand with furrowed brows, and said, "When this guy didn't have his beard, he looked quite similar to me, and his height was also about the same. Furthermore, the time that he left Rodu, and the age of his half-elf daughter, everything matches perfectly. "
"The Barkley Family is loyal to Sean, and they have quite a powerful background in the military. Eric is most likely Timothy's father, and he's an extremely warmonger."
"Rather than fighting both Josh and Sean at the same time, it's clearly more appropriate to reduce our opponent to a second-generation heir."
Meg rose to his feet and burned the parchment into a pile of ashes. He looked at the Gray Temple members who were busy outside Mamy, and his brows furrowed as he said, "Noah Gould, I'll use this name for you. I'll avenge you in the future."
…
Monkey lowered his voice, and reported to Bazeer, "Captain, after our search, we found that four people and an elven magic caster died from the ice cream shop all the way to Mamy Restaurant. This should be the place where the battle ended."
"Another person ran away. Monkey, take some people and follow this trail!"
's, ''t't's a 4th-tier incident,' ''t''s, '' '''t. Level 4's's a's
Barkley wore a grave expression. Five people had died in the Aden Square, and that was no small matter.
A fierce battle had taken place in the Aden Square a few days ago, but nothing was left of the scene aside from a mess.
Who would've thought that such a gruesome murder would take place in just a few days?
Barkley squatted down to examine Baizen's body. After a brief silence, he rose to his feet and turned toward Mamy.
"Team Leader, I don't know if I should say something …" one of the team members said in a quiet voice.
"Speak." Barkley glanced at him.
"The ice cream shop is owned by Mr. Mak's family, and the first victim we found was in front of the ice cream shop, while the last victim was in front of Mamy's. Is that really just a coincidence?" the team member asked in a quiet voice.
"You guys continue to investigate here. I'll go ask around." Barkley nodded and led the two to Mamy's. He didn't think that Meg had anything to do with this, but the starting and ending points were indeed suspicious. Also, this was the scene of the last crime, so there should've been a fierce battle there. At such a close distance, there should've been some noise.
Mag stood by the window and watched as Bazeer knocked on the door for a long time. After that, he grabbed a handful of hair and put on a set of pajamas before going downstairs to open the door. He looked at Bazeer with a confused expression, and asked, "Captain Bazeer, why are you here? The restaurant is closed. "
"Mr. Mak, I'm not here to eat," Barkley said with a smile. Barzel shook his head with a smile. However, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he carefully appraised Mag, and he said, "There was a murder case up ahead, and the murderer shouldn't have gone far yet. This place is the closest to your restaurant, so I wanted to ask you if you heard anything or saw anyone suspicious."
"Someone died in front of my restaurant again?" Meg raised an eyebrow, as if suddenly awake. He looked in the direction of the lawn and shook his head. "I fell asleep after I coaxed Amy to sleep. I didn't hear anything in between. Because I'm sensitive to noise, the restaurant was designed with good soundproofing. Let alone a fight, if you didn't trigger the doorbell, I wouldn't have heard anything. "
"The soundproofing of Mr. Mak's restaurant is that good?" Barkley was a little surprised, and then he asked with a smile, "Can I go in and experience it?"
"Of course." Mag nodded, and stepped aside to make way.
"You two fight outside the restaurant," Barkley said to the two men. The sound of swords clashing against each other could be heard.
Barkley walked into the restaurant, and Meg closed the door. The ear-piercing sound of swords immediately became as soft as a mosquito's buzzing. If one didn't pay attention, they would barely be able to hear it. This made Barkley feel a little incredulous.
"The soundproofing of the bedroom is better than this. It can almost block out all sound." Mag shrugged with a smile, and said, "There's a waitress from the restaurant upstairs. If you have any questions, you can come and ask her tomorrow morning. She should still be sleeping soundly right now."
"No need. Mr. Mak's pursuit of quality sleep is really amazing. It seems like you really can't provide any useful information. I won't disturb your rest, then. I'll be sure to come for dinner tomorrow when I'm free." Barkley shook his head with a smile. His doubts had been completely dispelled. He nodded at Meg, turned around, and left the restaurant with the two Gray Temple members.
"Life is like a play. It all depends on acting." Meg shrugged, turned off the lights, and went upstairs.
Now that the problem of his identity was solved, he could do some things freely.
