Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"Secret Order", accomplices... Duke Negan, after listening to the narration, looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground. It only took a moment for him to basically restore the whole thing from beginning to end.

First, one person was sent to sneak into the dance party and randomly create chaos, which caught our attention. The rest of the accomplices secretly sneaked into the villa to capture the real target... If I hadn't prepared earlier, the guy at the dance party might have let him escape successfully !

Duke Negan suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice:

"What else did that person explain?"

The middle-aged captain of the "Nighthawks" naturally also saw the corpse on the ground, and suddenly realized something in his heart. He turned his head and replied calmly:

"The 'Secret Order' sent three members this time, two 'faceless men', and a 'Secret Puppet Master'. Their purpose was very clear, and they acted without delay. When they met in Backlund It was very short, and they didn't even confirm each other's real identity, it seems that today's situation has been expected."

"What a painstaking effort!" Duke Negan said bitterly. He noticed the eager gaze of the butler, and then turned around and demanded:

"Please wait a moment, I have to confirm one thing."

The middle-aged captain had nothing to do with it, and said, "Please do as you please, Mr. Duke."

Duke Negan nodded slightly, and stepped into the treasure house in front of him, followed by Mr. Butler, but the blonde secretary stayed where he was and did not follow.

After a few seconds of silence, the two unanimously checked the corpses on the ground. They were all killed by one blow. They were decisive and neat, leaving no time for the guards to call for help.

As for the Extraordinary of the "Seer" path, destroying the scene and interfering with divination are their housekeeping skills. Even through psychics, they can't get effective results... The clues seem to be cut off like this.

Soon, Duke Negan walked out of the treasure house, his face became more and more gloomy, he spoke first, and said in a commanding tone:

"Blocking Backlund and digging three feet, we must also find those two members of the 'Secret Order' who fled."

"Yes, Mr. Duke." The blond secretary immediately bowed and agreed.

The middle-aged captain showed a look of embarrassment, and said with a little hesitation:

"Mr. Duke, please forgive me, 'Faceless Men' are very good at hiding themselves, and we are not absolutely sure of catching them."

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Duke Negan became very patient, and he explained seriously:

"Those two members of the 'Secret Order' will not leave Backlund so easily, all they need is a full-scale search and arrest. Don't we still have one of their accomplices in our hands? We can use this as a bait to get them Draw it out."

"Also, 'Punisher' and MI9 will participate in the follow-up operation, and I only want the final result."

Speaking of which, the middle-aged captain of the "Nighthawks" was powerless to refute, so he had no choice but to agree:

"We're doing the best we can, Monsieur Duke."

…………

Although Duke Negan's swords were on the verge of breaking out and he was about to vent his anger, the ballroom on the other side was still singing and dancing. The joyous atmosphere remained undiminished.

Audrey was called back by the Countess of Hall and his wife. It seemed that she was about to leave the ball early, so Louise had to be alone, watching the scene of jubilant peace in front of her with cold eyes.

Suddenly, Dean Russell's smiling face appeared again in her sight. This mysterious old gentleman walked towards her with a smile on his face.

"Miss Audrey is gone?" He asked knowingly, and even deliberately turned his head to check.

Louise replied lightly: "You should see clearly."

Dean Russell maintained the attitude of "As long as I'm not embarrassed, then the embarrassing is someone else", and then he laughed twice and said:

"You know, in front of the 'audience', it's easy to have a cautious mentality, and it's hard to completely let go of your emotions, although Audrey is still in the low order."

When Louise heard this, she was startled, but her face showed doubts, and she asked:

"What are you talking about? Why do I know every word, but when combined, I can't understand it at all?"

"I think your acting ability is also very good, suitable for being an 'audience'." Dean Russell gave two "tsk tsk" and said clearly:

"I saw clearly the little action between you and Audrey just now!"

Louise took a deep breath, and once again looked at the old gentleman in front of her with scrutiny. Knowing that sophistry was useless, she said instead:

"Just now your state is similar to ours, but in fact you are also a Extraordinary?"

"That's right, I'm an Extraordinary, it's not a secret." Dean Russell's answer was very frank.

But this answer made Louise a little overwhelmed, and she asked in disbelief:

"Then you just pretended to be an ordinary person affected by the 'sealed item'?"

Dean Russell waved his hand and said with great interest:

"Don't you think that's funny? How about it, did I look like a disguise just now?"

Louise didn't know what to say. When she met someone who didn't play cards according to common sense, it was inevitable that her hands would be restrained. This is like:

"If you have a good chat with a mental patient, then you are not far from him."

So, she chose not to go around in circles anymore, and simply said straightforwardly:

"It wasn't a coincidence that I almost bumped into you before, right?"

Dean Russell nodded, and replied honestly:

"right."

"You have already discovered that I am a Extraordinary, right?" Louise asked again: "Did you find me on purpose?"

Dean Russell's answer to these questions is only one word:

"right."

"Why?" Louise asked puzzledly: "I am far more than the Extraordinary at this ball, why did you specifically find me?"

"Didn't I say it already!" Dean Russell sighed, and repeated with a look of disgust for Louise's poor memory:

"You look a lot like my granddaughter."

Louise took a deep breath, and then exhaled again. After a short silence, she said helplessly:

"But I don't know your granddaughter at all."

"No, you know him." Dean Russell retorted, "You did her a favor!"

After quickly recalling in my mind, I still haven't found a suitable candidate... Louise frowned slightly, and said in doubt:

"Sorry, I really can't remember."

Dean Russell shook his head, with an unteachable look, he reminded:

"Think about it carefully, the potion formula of 'Barbarian'."

Two seconds later, Louise suddenly realized, and blurted out:

"The 'craftsman agent' in that Extraordinary Party, is she your granddaughter?"
