Chapter 361 Interests Determine Everything
It is very simple to refute, because even if the deceased has only one breath, he died a second earlier because of you, which is also manslaughter in law.
And if the housekeeper, Wilson, doesn't say anything, if it's impossible to find out who poisoned her, public opinion and the media's attention will instead be distracted by who poisoned her.
It is certain that Defoe will end up in jail, but the sentence will never be life imprisonment.
As long as there is still a chance to come out, it is the best ending for the housekeeper.
Li Changheng sighed again and shook his head.
Turning back to the housekeeper Condela, "I want to make a call. Is there a confidential or separate line in the manor?"
When the people present heard it, they immediately understood that Li Changheng must know something, but it was difficult to say it out.
It must be calling Philip now and wanting him to make a decision.
"Henry, can we talk?"
Mountbatten, who had been silent all this time, looked at him with a frown and said, "It's not a good idea for you to call the outside world at this time."
"Everyone else get out."
Li Changheng waved to everyone, and then said to Ferranci, "Help me guard the door of the billiard room."
"Understood, boss."
Seeing Frankie close the door himself, Li Changheng looked at Mountbatten and suddenly asked, "Why did you come to Gosford Manor?"
Before Mountbatten met him, he was very polite to him, and even respected Li Changheng, but his tone was somewhat vigilant and impolite.
Can't help but sigh in my heart.
Then he wondered why it wasn't his daughter who knew Henry, but that little girl Annie.
"Didn't I say that the other big nobles were worried that you were too powerful, so I was the most suitable old guy who has been acting as a middleman to talk to you first."
Li Changheng immediately shook his head, "Although Mitch Pearson is rich, his subordinates are all gangsters and thugs.
They are good at killing, kidnapping, and fighting for territory, but he doesn't have the ability to bribe or quietly influence all the guests today.
Besides, I don't believe that you and His Majesty Philip don't know who he is.
After all, this guy came to Gosford Manor for a long time to attend banquets, and even had an affair with Sylvia.
Even if the nobles who have money and people don't like old Gosford, I don't believe you won't investigate his sudden wealth. "
Mountbatten really frowned at this time, "Henry, since you like Chinese culture very much, you should understand what they mean by pretending to be confused, right!"
Well, Li Changheng immediately understood that he was being tricked.
Seeing him frowning, Mountbatten could only explain, "We didn't touch Mickey because his goods never appeared in England, but brought more than 16 million pounds in francs, marks and pesetas every year.
You are so smart, you should know that there are only interests between countries, right? "
Of course I understand.
C1A can personally join the flour business in South America. In the future, it will even be reported that they will get at least 200 million US dollars in additional operating expenses every year.
Moreover, this is not counting the funds withheld and legalized by the C1A leaders and related personnel in various ways.
100% of the deducted money will be several times more than 200 million US dollars.
In addition, the Gallic rooster, bullfighting country and Hans cats that Mickey sold special tobacco to were not good things.
Besides, England doesn't care about it, so what does this have to do with Li Changheng?
Therefore, Li Changheng simply pretended to be confused and ignored Mickey, only asking about things related to himself.
"You have provided me with a chance to gain the favor of all the nobles. Why?"
"A hereditary nobility."
Mountbatten chuckled, "Whether it's His Majesty Philip or us nobles, we look forward to marrying Anne and having several children.
I hope you can directly become one of us.
Only in this way, you are truly your own, and when the aristocratic crisis occurs, you will be qualified and motivated to maintain the aristocratic system with us. "
"Ha", although Li Changheng believed Mountbatten's words, he also knew that there must be more than this one.
More cooperation means more money.
If he really became a hereditary nobleman, after getting in touch with many people in the noble group, it would indeed be easier for him to cooperate with those who can chat and benefit each other.
After all, the number of people a person has direct contact with is limited.
The more time he spends in England, the less time he spends in America.
But he never imagined that Philip's greatest purpose was to use the restrictions of hereditary nobility to block his future political career.
He smiled and asked Mountbatten, "You talked to me alone about Gosford's murder, what do you want me to do?"
Seeing Li Changheng's smile, Mountbatten patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Henry, I now regret when Anne visited various countries.
No one followed my daughter, or I replaced Annie. "
Li Changheng pouted immediately, Annie had the guts to escape from the castle, but your daughter might not.
Moreover, I certainly don't recognize what Mountbatten's daughter looks like.
If Annie had been someone else, she would have left without paying attention when she was on the road of the Pantheon in Rome.
Mountbatten saw him pouted, and asked without anger, "I have to know what's going on before I can give you advice."
"Quite simply, Earl Gosford's death is a due price for the crimes he committed over the past few decades.
The person who killed him was his illegitimate son, and the person in charge of making the plan was the Countess of Trenson, who was worried that she would lose her alimony and not be able to live in peace for many years.
Participants also included his wife Sylvia, rival Mitch, and two brothers-in-law Anthony and Raymond.
As for whether the two sister-in-laws who had an affair with him were involved, I don't have the mood to continue to explore.
As for the movie star Mabel, Ivor and the American producer, I'm sure they all have some mission, but there's no way to prove that. "
After finishing speaking, Li Changheng stared at Mountbatten's eyes. Unfortunately, this old guy should have known about it long ago and had been on guard for a long time.
It didn't make him see anything.
Li Changheng could only continue, "The Defoe who assassinated the Earl of Gosford should be the son of Mrs. Wilson, the housekeeper of the manor.
A woman who had been separated from her son for about 30 years suddenly discovered that her own flesh and blood who should not have appeared in the manor had appeared.
Immediately worried that he was here for revenge.
So, just do it yourself.
If you kill old Gosford, your son will be safe, let go of the hatred in your heart, and get married and have children in peace. "
The more Mountbatten listened, the more he frowned.
He really didn't expect that there would be a housekeeper who would take the lead.
"Since you know everything, why wait?"
