Brown expressionlessly put aside his arm on his shoulders and replied quietly: "She didn't look back or look at us."
"Hey, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. Are you the Mona Lisa? If you are a human or a dog, you have to look around when you pass by." Dowell dismissed it.
I heard Brown retort him calmly: "I mean, normal people would look at us curiously when they heard what we said. Even if they didn't want to cause trouble, they would take a peek out of curiosity. But she didn't, not the whole time. Looked at us once."
"She...could there be a problem here?" Dowell pointed to the position of his ears after thinking for a moment.
Brown looked at him like a fool.
Dowell put away his cynicism, looked back in the direction where Qiao Nian came from, pointed, and asked casually: "What's there?"
"Stairs up." Brown knew that he just liked to take advantage of others, and was actually a careless person.
Dowell frowned: "There's no bathroom or something?"
Brown affirmed: "No. Rose Mansion was designed by our family, and I know the layout of it very well."
Dowell said thoughtfully: "Then it's strange why she appears here. It can't be that she came down from upstairs."
Brown was also thinking about this issue, his thin lips stretched into a straight line, his jaw tightened, cold and silent.
Dowell saw his confusion, raised his hand and hooked his neck, pulled him towards him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, maybe he can come here for some fresh air, make a phone call, or hide away."
"Really?"
"Yes. It's impossible for her to come down from upstairs. You and I both know that all the entrances and exits up and down are now surrounded by Shi Lao's people. To protect the safety of the Earl of Lance, unless she has wings, It’s impossible to flash here.”
"Well..." Brown raised his eyebrows.
Dowell muttered to himself again: "...that lunatic Moody just wanted to go crazy with the Tenth Elder, why would he target the Earl of Lance? Does he know the Earl of Lance? Shadow Ten even said that he had never met him. What does it look like? It's really strange that he sent someone to assassinate it..." "Yeah." Brown couldn't tell what the secret was. He interrupted the topic out of the human instinct of seeking good luck and avoiding disaster: "Okay. It’s none of our business, so stop thinking about it!”
"Yeah." Dowell was a smart man and shut up immediately. In order to change the topic, he also had a sudden thought: "By the way, do you know the woman who just walked over? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"People are wearing veils, can you see their faces?" Brown said amusedly.
Dowell bumped his shoulder with his elbow and said angrily: "As long as I meet people often, I can recognize them even if I attend a masquerade party. I have never seen that woman before. Do you know who she is?"
Brown also shook his head: "I don't know."
He said in a sad tone: "That's strange... If I had known, I would have called her to say hello just now, so we wouldn't have to guess here."
The two of them drifted apart.
…
This planned assassination was put out in just half an hour, and all the dead soldiers involved in the assassination died.
Some were shot to death during gunfights, and some died from poison hidden in their teeth because they did not want to be caught.
In short, no one was left alive.
The person who came to report whispered the result into the old man's ear.
The old man looked calmly: "Is Lance okay?" (End of Chapter)
