Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

After sending Mr. Hunter away, Joyce perfected his plan while waiting for the people from MI9 to come to his door.

The military will not remain indifferent to the death of a major, and Major General Bright will only increase the urgency. Although he has no authority to investigate the matter, it is normal to exert influence on MI9.

However, until the crimson moon took the place of the sun, Joyce did not wait for investigators to come.

This surprised him.

Had Diego's disappearance not been discovered by MI9? Do intelligence organizations also have weekends off?

Even if this is the case, it is impossible for Brett to not notice it. He knows that I have arrived home safely, but there is no news about Diego. How could he not be suspicious?

A Sequence 7 Extraordinary is not a Chinese cabbage on the side of the road. If he dies, he will die... Brett may not think that I can kill Diego, but he will definitely think that I have a helper behind me, at least with combat power A powerful mid-sequence Extraordinary... He may even guess whether "William's List" will be in the hands of this trumped-up helper...

This is a thinking simulation performed by Joyce in the position of the enemy. It is not 100% accurate, but it is also in line with the logic of the characters.

Sure enough, the next morning, he waited for investigators from MI9, but the chief interrogator was an unexpected candidate.

Thomas!

How could it be Thomas...Joyce didn't understand. It's impossible for Brett to not know about the relationship between the two of us. Could it be that he was afraid and was going to make a big deal into a small one?

Wearing the captain's uniform of MI9, Thomas sat calmly on a chair, staring at Joyce and Sophia behind him with deep eyes.

Behind him stood an unfamiliar second lieutenant officer with a serious expression, as if he was suppressing something:

"Baron Best, we only want to ask you alone."

"Sophia can add to my statement. She knows what happened on Saturday night very well." Joyce politely returned his request.

The second lieutenant wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Thomas raising his hand: "How do you know I'm going to ask about Saturday night?"

Joyce showed a surprised expression: "Aren't you here to investigate my assassination case?"

"Assassinated?" Thomas asked calmly.

"Saturday night, on my way home from General Gordon's banquet, my coachman was attacked by assassins and killed..."

Joyce did not tell the story completely, but stopped halfway, frowning and asked:

"I have already called the police. Aren't you here to assist in the investigation?"

It can be seen that Thomas wanted to say something, but quickly held back: "No."

"I thought the Bayam Police Department submitted the case to MI9!" Joyce muttered first, and then asked:

"Then what are you doing here?"

Thomas took out his notebook and said in a businesslike tone:

"Baron Best, do you know Diego? He also attended General Gordon's dinner."

"Diago..." Joyce's eyes were empty, and he recalled seriously for a while: "Oh, I remembered..."

"He was wearing his SI9 major uniform that night, he had a battle scar under his left eye, and we had a little chat...in fact, I had a little chat with most of the people at the dinner."

"Yes, I heard that you were one of the two most popular people at the dinner party." Thomas said while recording.

Joyce asked curiously, "Two... who is the other?"

"A lady named Ianna," Thomas replied simply.

Well, she is very popular... Joyce sneered, and then asked: "How do you know?"

Thomas reminded without looking up: "Baron Best, you are not the first person I have asked."

Joyce knew it in his heart, but asked curiously without knowing it: "What happened? The atmosphere of the dinner was very lively, and nothing unexpected happened."

"The accident happened after the dinner," Thomas said in a deep voice, "Major Diego died in the basement of an unowned house."

"Dead!" Joyce did not hide his surprise: "A major died just like that! Is the situation in Bayam so bad?"

Afterwards, he sighed and said with emotion: "It seems that I am quite lucky. Although I was assassinated, at least I didn't lose my life."

Thomas continued to ask: "Is your assassination also at the same time?"

"Yes, after dinner," Joyce replied.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

"Sigh..." Joyce sighed, recounted his story, and then added: "The Bayam Police Department should have the latest developments. If you want to know more, you can check their information."

"Yes." Thomas nodded: "Besides the assassination, did you go anywhere else on Saturday night?"

"No." Joyce denied.

"If I remember correctly, you said that the coachman died during the assassination, so no one can prove it for you?" Thomas asked trickily.

"There is no problem with logic..." Joyce emphasized, "However, what I said is the truth."

"Okay, my inquiry is over." Thomas closed the notebook in his hand, got up and prepared to leave, and warned before leaving:

"The assassination you encountered may be related to the death of Major Diego. The perpetrator may have another move. You must ensure your own safety."

"I will." Joyce agreed, and sent Thomas and the second lieutenant out of the living room.

…………

"Mr. Baron, that second lieutenant is very dissatisfied with you." Sophia exited the "spectator" state and stated softly.

Joyce let out a "hmm", and he could see that, the second lieutenant was not good at hiding his emotions...

"Mr. Thomas seems to be deliberately controlling himself. There is no emotional fluctuation during the whole process, only..."

"Only what?" Joyce asked.

"Only when you said, 'A major died just like that! Has the situation in Bayam gotten this bad?', Mr. Thomas paused his writing hand, as if he was stimulated by something. "Sofia frowned and said hesitantly.

Is there something wrong with this sentence?

The major died, the baron was assassinated, it's normal to feel that the situation is bad...

Wait, "situation"...

Joyce turned his thoughts to the word...

On Friday, Thomas made a point of coming to remind himself that "the situation is serious, so be careful."

As a result, on Saturday night, Diego died and I was assassinated.

I mentioned the situation of Bayam just now. In Thomas' eyes, will this constitute a hint and a reminder... With his personality that likes poetry and drama, it's not impossible to think so...

Furthermore, Diego considered himself an "audience", proving that the main material of the "audience" was sold to me through "balances"... and after that, Thomas came to remind, whether to prove that he knew that Diego was in for me...

And we were both assassinated on the same night, one dead and one alive...

Thomas may have guessed something, but he volunteered to ask me, but he didn't talk about these issues. Maybe he was on his side?

However, even if he guessed the truth, there would be no evidence. Brett, who knew the truth, would not dare to target me openly. Otherwise, the matter would become public. A major secretly kidnapped a baron. No one would be able to bear the responsibility .

I am no longer the pawn with black eyes...
