Mystery: Start with the Reader

"The great pirate Qilingus was shot to death in Backlund by the Duke's bodyguards!"

"Supporting hundreds of pounds of chandelier alone, Detective Blaine is a hero again."

"Detectives and pirates, subtle camouflage is no match for detective eyes."

...

Early on Thursday morning, Forsi and Xio, wearing gauze hats, were walking along the street, preparing to go to the nearest Bavat Bank branch

——Forsi's new issue of "Storm Mountain Villa", as well as the bonus and reimbursement for Xio's previous action, were finally issued.

The clear voices of newsboys came to my ears.

ah? What? Chillingus dead? He also played against Abner? A chandelier weighing hundreds of pounds... Abner doesn't seem to have such strength?

Xio and Forsi looked at each other blankly.

They didn't wake up until the newsboy repeated several times from far to near.

The two of them moved because they were afraid of being found by Qilingus, and now they were a little surprised to hear the news of his death.

"Do you have any inside information?" Fors asked Xio.

Xio shook his head and said, "I haven't visited Abner in the past few days...nor have I received a mission from MI9..."

At the same time, a sliver of understanding arose in her heart: that is, no wonder there was so much official movement last night, it turned out to be because of Qilingus' matter.

Seeing that her friend really had no clue, Fors went to the newsboy and bought a copy of this morning's "Tasoke News".

This is one of the three newspapers with the largest circulation in the Kingdom of Loen.

"Hmm... Chillingus is indeed dead, shot dead by Duke Negan's bodyguards... He disguised himself as Baron Gramere before the assassination, but Abner saw through the disguise, so the Duke was prepared." Hugh After a few glances, he summed up the general idea of ​​the contents of the newspaper.

Fors held the second page of the newspaper, clicked her tongue a few times, smiled and said to her friend:

"This whole page is about Abner catching the chandelier, re-lighting it, and inspiring it, so it doesn't make a big mess in the ballroom...

"After this time, his reputation is even greater! No, we are going to Kingston Street now, and we must let him treat."

"In the past, did you want to provide materials for tabloid reporters and increase the number of Abner's lace news?" Xio complained, and continued, "Instead of thinking about letting Abner treat you, you might as well look forward to Audrey How much will Miss pay us for this... To her, a few hundred pounds is not too much, but we have not really completed the commission..."

Whether it was Miss Justice or Mister Hanged Man's entrustment, I couldn't participate in it...

"If you don't go now, why don't you climb the wall and climb in through the bedroom window in the middle of the night?" Fors murmured in a low voice, and then comforted herself:

"At least Qilingos took the initiative to appear so soon. The reason why he was in a hurry and fell into an ambush must be due to the contribution of you and me... What's more, Abner who saw him through is still our friend! Take Audrey Miss's generosity, even if she doesn't pay all the rewards, she will give at least half of it."

"I hope so..." Xio came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart: This is the Tarot Society! To be able to cause a powerful "Pirate General" to die so inexplicably... It's really scary!

I don’t know if after Abner tells me the truth, or after I find out by myself, I can also issue a commission through there, and then solve the problem under the witness of Mister Fool...

On the other side, Forsi reminded the bodyguard who might have received a bounty of 10,000 pounds, "Hugh, let's not go to Miss Audrey in a short time, and wait until she takes the initiative to contact us, Qilinger." Si's death hides too many details that we don't know, and looking for Miss Audrey rashly may put us in danger."

Of course, if there is something urgent, I can tell it through Mister Fool... but that would expose my identity.

With that in mind, Xio nodded in approval of Forsi's words. She wanted to say something, but at this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing on the glass of the roadside shop,

A figure wearing a complicated black court dress and a small soft hat of the same color.

The figure disappeared in a flash, but as an "interrogator", Xio would be able to firmly remember the other person's appearance whenever he saw it, and he could even gain extra induction on the extraordinary level.

Therefore, she instantly recognized that it was Miss Sharon who had protected her for a while last night and left silently until Jane heard the news of the cancellation of the operation.

Ms. Sharron was deliberately exposed to my sight... Is there something wrong?

Xio thought about it for a moment, and said to Forsi, "I saw the code left by SI9... You go back first, I'll go see that 'golden mask'."

Since Hugh became an MI9 agent, similar situations have happened many times, and Forsi didn't think too much about it, and after a few words of advice, she walked towards the rented house with the manuscript fees she took out.

But in the middle of the journey, Fors thought more and more wrong, because even if the boss of Xiu MI9 gave a secret signal to meet, he seldom chose to meet in the morning, usually after dark... unless the matter is very urgent!

But Xio didn't look nervous when he spoke just now, but instead seemed to be pretending to be calm...

Could it be...she is hiding something dangerous from me again?

Thinking of this, Forsi hurriedly returned to the place where they left just now, but she didn't find Xio's figure.

She searched around for a while, but still found nothing.

Hugh may not be doing something dangerous, maybe it's just my imagination... Well, maybe I should ask Abner...

Fors took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, then she identified the direction and walked towards Kings Street.

Just like that rainy night last week.

...

On the other side, Xio followed the figures that kept flashing in the glass on both sides of the street, and came to a restaurant that looked simple but was actually very stylish.

Since there were not many people in the restaurant at this time, she saw Jane sitting inside at a glance.

At this time, there was a lady wearing a black robe and "glasses" sitting beside Jane, but she was covered by the hood of the robe, so Xio couldn't see her face clearly.

Although yesterday's operation was forced to be cancelled, the main personnel still met each other once. Xio didn't know who this lady was, but she was sure that she must be the powerful helper Jane had found.

"Has there been any new changes?" Xio sat across from Jane, greeted her briefly, and asked directly.

"Yes, a big man decided to give us some help, which allowed us to confirm the location of the baron, and planned to launch a surprise attack immediately... But you still need to lead him to the designated place." Jane didn't say much greetings, directly He talked about the revised plan with Xio and Miss Sharon who was listening quietly in the mirror next to her.

"Immediate raid? During the day?" Xio was startled when she heard the words, but she quickly reacted and asked calmly, "That big man provided a hidden space as a battlefield? That's why I need to lure him there?"

"That's right." Jane glanced at Hugh admiringly, thinking to herself that it's no wonder Abner valued him, and this Miss Hugh's mentality was really excellent.

After thinking about it for a while, Xio felt that she was not in great danger. After all, Miss Sharron could take her away at any time...

But she still looked at Jane and said seriously: "I need to 'notarize' the agreement again."

"No problem, it should be." Jane happily took out a piece of parchment that exudes the luster of the "sun" field.

...

After signing the agreement, without further delay, they took a carriage to the vicinity of a library in the North District.

On the way, Xio quietly wrote Mister Fool's honorable name on his cuff in the ancient Hermes language.

This is the best "insurance" she can think of... Since the baron has been looking for Mister Fool's aura, that mysterious being that resembles a god may be interested in it.

...

In Tingen City, Klein, who had just read the "Tingen Morning Post" and learned of the news of Qilingos' death, complained to himself:

As the behind-the-scenes BOSS of this matter, I actually found out the result only after reading the newspaper...
