Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"You can find a detective to help you with this kind of thing, instead of doing it yourself."

Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, and while talking, he looked for Mrs. Fabian, who was Naomi's aunt. When the ball first started, he noticed that the two were staying together. This came from the observation of the "Assassin" .

"I saw Madame Fabian, I'll let her take you home first."

"No, I won't go, can you help me? I know that the two of them will go out for a tryst every Friday afternoon, that is, tomorrow, can you go with me?"

She grabbed Joyce's arm, as if at the last straw.

The latter was very helpless, and he even saw Charlie not far away giving him a thumbs up.

What's all this... Joyce wanted to cry, but he supported Naomi, and said in agreement:

"Okay, go tomorrow, wait until you sober up tomorrow, I'll call Madame Fabian."

"Don't bark, how is that Yianna better than aunt? Uncle is blind!"

Naomi shouted in a low voice, the etiquette education she had received prevented her from making more gaffes.

"Yes, yes, he is a fool, Ianna didn't... wait, Ianna!"

Joyce changed from casual and perfunctory to surprise, and there was no effort to surprise:

"Did you mean Ianna just now?"

"Yes, Ianna is the woman who seduced uncle." Naomi couldn't help mocking:

"Isn't she just more beautiful, more coquettish, more attractive, what else is there..."

Listening to Naomi's nagging complaints, Joyce felt more and more that the Ianna she was talking about was the Ianna he was looking for, but he obviously couldn't ask any more questions from her.

He called Charlie with his eyes:

"Naomi is drunk, go and call Mrs. Fabian and take her home."

After Charlie approached, he realized that things were not as he imagined. He quickly found Mrs. Fabian, who thanked Joyce, and took Naomi to leave the ball early with a little worry.

"Why did you make her cry?" Charlie asked puzzled.

What kind of words is this? She can blame me if she has a heart disease, and it seems that this thorn has choked her for a long time... Joyce retorted in his heart and explained:

"People who are strong on the outside often have a weak heart."

Charlie nodded solemnly in understanding, as if he had been baptized, but a smile appeared on his face in the next second:

"Would you like to go over and have a drink!"

Joyce looked at the familiar friends over there, raised his glass and said:

"OK."

…………

It's a pity that Joyce didn't get any more clues about Ianna from others until the end of the ball.

However, on the way back, Sophia surprised him.

"Have you found any news?"

"Yeah, yes."

Sophia nodded excitedly and said, "Those ladies' personal maids know a lot of secrets. Although they know how to keep them secret, as an 'audience', I can get the information I want through indirect inducements."

Unknowingly, she observed Joyce again, and the latter frowned and advised:

"Don't be too obsessed with the state of 'audience', it will make you gradually lose yourself."

"Okay." Sophia said back to normal:

"Ianna is General Bright's mistress."

Bright? Isn't it Fabian? This is two boats... No, maybe there are more than two... It should be called a "witch"!

Joyce was not surprised at all: "Is the news accurate?"

"More than one person said that, and..."

Sophia glanced at it, looking hesitant to speak.

Joyce was puzzled and asked:

"If you have anything else to gain, just say it, what are you hesitating for?"

"They said that Ianna had unusual relationships with many important people, among them...including Mr. William..."

Before she finished speaking, Sophia hurriedly corrected her position: "Anyway, I won't believe it. Mr. William will never have anything to do with this kind of woman."

Joyce supported her point of view and said firmly:

"William wouldn't do such a thing, not to mention that rumors and gossip are things that are based on speculation, so don't pay too much attention to it."

Comforting the maid who worshiped William as a father and a hero, Joyce thought silently in his heart.

I didn't expect that the investigation of Ianna could involve William, and it was completely a matter of eating melons and eating my own home.

Based on the original owner's impression of William, he is not a person who would join forces with the "Witch"... What if he was charmed by the "Witch", just like "Joyce" and Emily...

No, William is a Sequence Six Extraordinary——"Judge", this is an arbitrator path full of spiritual attributes, and he will not be easily tempted.

Unless Ianna is a demigod of Sequence Four, but that is impossible.

However, since there are such rumors, and seeing Sophia's performance, the news does not seem to be false... After all, it is not easy to deceive an "audience", even if she is only Sequence Nine.

Presumably, William and Ianna must have had an intersection. As for whether they are friends or enemies, it remains to be discussed... If William's sacrifice is taken into account, the possibility of being enemies may be more likely.

Suddenly, I remembered what William wrote in his letter: Upholding fairness and justice is the most noble quality of a person, not the status of nobility.

It now appears that Yianna is not only exchanging chips from Emily for the "Instigator" potion formula, but also related to her own safety, so she has to pay more attention to it.

Maybe tomorrow I will really go to rape...

Alas, why, as a nobleman, do you always do some dirty work? I'm not a private detective!

…………

The next morning, Joyce received a letter, sent by Naomi.

At the beginning of the letter, she fully expressed her apology for last night's gaffe, and told Joyce that that absurd decision was just drunken nonsense, so don't worry about it.

Harm, I really don't care about it, although I still want to "catch rape", but I will only go alone...

Joyce continued to read, and at the end of the letter, Naomi politely asked him to keep it a secret.

Bayam's circle is so big, this kind of thing can't be hidden, I'm afraid you know almost everything you need to know... Well, for Naomi, as long as Mrs. Fabian doesn't know, it's fine. trying to resolve.

From Naomi's point of view, her parents died early, and she hardly remembers her. Now, the uncles and aunts who raised her are facing the risk of family breakdown...

"Witch" is not easy to harm people!

Concentrating his divergent thinking, Joyce checked the potion sent by Charlie.

Sure enough, potions that enhance abilities... But besides that, there are potions for treating internal and external injuries, and a special potion that stimulates potential. After taking it, people can temporarily forget the pain and exert powerful power. You will be weak for two days after the effects of the medicine wear off.

That is, a stimulant with stronger effects and less side effects... Joyce is very satisfied. No matter what he does, the importance of a nurse is always irreplaceable!
