Chapter Seventy-Three: Nicholas's Undercurrent

"Thatch, is there anything else you want to say?" Mrs. Hudson stared at Thatch in the eye at her desk.

"I'm not selfish. Thatch gritted his teeth and said, "You shouldn't doubt me. ”

Eric plugged both USB sticks into the computer on his desk at the same time, and a loading progress bar immediately appeared on the computer. Ten seconds later, a yellow folder appeared on the computer's desktop. When Eric double-clicked to open it, the computer interface was immediately filled with dense directory documents.

"How many people did old Pfeiffre plant!" asked Caitlyn in surprise.

"Detective, would you like to open a document to satisfy everyone's curiosity? Kailas didn't seem to mind.

Eric moved his mouse over the document in the center, feeling a strange feeling in his heart. When he gritted his teeth and opened this document, the people present looked at me, and I looked at you, all showing a look of astonishment.

"This, this is—" Thatch's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's what you've always wanted, That's what you wanted. As if he were a joke, Kailas looked at the frail Director of the Sixth Division in front of him.

"This, this is—" Chiko felt very familiar when she saw the strange words. Judging from the shape and characteristics of the text on these documents, they are very similar to the alchemical code found in the Book of Abraham.

"Old Puffer, he-" Eric was speechless in surprise.

"That's right, these words are alchemical codes. In other words, only by getting a decoded copy of the Book of Abraham can you really decipher these spy lists. Kairas looked at Thatch playfully, "Thatch, even if you open this list, you won't be able to decipher it, old Pfeiffre has already unlocked the meaning of the alchemy code. ”

In other words, this is a directory that only old Puffre can decipher. Eric said something else to Kailas.

"This—this can't be!" the muscles on Thatch's face twitched, "If that's the case, could it be that old Puffre has unlocked the mystery of humanity in the Book of Abraham, this, this can't be, no one has been able to solve it for hundreds of years!"

"But old Puffer did untie it. Kaylas's determined eyes told Thatch that it wasn't a lie.

"Do you know the secret?" said Mrs. Hudson, with some concern in her tone.

"Madame, I don't know, old Puffer never revealed a word, he only told me that Fèvre Mailer's ideals surpassed the modern world a hundred years ago. "Kailas was still very respectful in front of Mrs. Hudson.

"There's a subfolder here?" Eric clicked on it, revealing a small audio file inside.

"What is this?, the pronunciation of the alchemy code?" said Mrs. Hudson, humorously easing the mood in front of her.

"You can ask Thatch. The murderous intent in Kairas's eyes skyrocketed.

"Thatch?" Mrs. Hudson stared at her old friend's eyes, but Thatch didn't respond.

"I think this is Director Thatch's deadliest sore spot. Eric speculated.

"Tell me about it. "Kailas seems to have a different attitude towards this detective.

"The first suspicion was on the second floor of the castle, when the special operations team was chasing Kailas. However, judging from the gunfight at the scene, the special operations team had no intention of leaving alive at all, and the order they received may be to shoot and kill. For a close confidant of old Puffle, a killer who was well acquainted with the Smiling Legion, he was worth more than the medical examiner's post-mortem report. ”

"The second suspicion is that as events unfolded, I saw the horror of Kailas's assassination ability. I wondered if Director Thatch had underestimated Kailas's assassination skills, or if he had overestimated Chiko's resilience. I think from the time Chiko and I received the order, Thatch had already expected that Kairas was out of control, and Chiko and I were just drawing out his two pawns. Eric's second suspicion was clearly correct, neither the agents of SI6 nor the special operations forces of the Ministry of Security were able to subdue Kairas.

"So you secretly contacted Caitlin, and you're very self-aware. Mrs. Hudson looked at Eric with admiration.

"My self-knowledge was also unexpected by Director Thatch. I think Director Thatch must have monitored my contact with Caitlyn, so he took the agents to set up a control at the staircase on this floor early, and as soon as we showed up, he could immediately close the net, even though there were so many agents present, but it was too much to find a reason to kill Kairaz. For him, as long as he gets these two USB sticks first, it doesn't matter if Kairas is dead or alive. After listening to Eric's explanation, Thatch's nose began to fan slightly, and a vicious look burst out of his eyes.

"What the hell is this!" Mrs. Hudson's aura of the "Iron Lady" was suddenly revealed.

The answer will be known right away. Eric turned on the audio.

After a few loud noises of "sub-card, sub-card", the first voice was Thatch: "Why doesn't old Pfeiffre keep such an important spy directory himself." ”

"Thatch, you are too suspicious, if you want to ask why? Maybe the answer is known only to old Puffre, but he is dead. "It's a woman's voice, Chiko listens to it but it's very familiar, this yin and yang weird and greasy voice seems to have just been heard not long ago, like-

"Mrs. Jones!" Chiko's eyes widened in surprise, and Eric responded in the same way.

At this time, a deep man's voice came from the audio: "Thatch, I think you should understand that we chose you because you have a very decisive ability to act, we trust your ability, and you must also trust our sincerity." ”

"I hope you can show me your sincerity as well. Thatch's voice was full of menace, "Otherwise, you wouldn't want Mrs. Hudson to know that the undercurrent of the Nicholas School still exists." ”

The audio file came to an abrupt halt after a few "sub-card" noises, and the unrivaled eyes in the study invariably looked at Thatch, who seemed unusually calm as relieved.

"The undercurrent of the Nicholas School, does it mean the heir to the will of Puffel Mailer?"

"But, but shouldn't Mailer's heir be old Puffer? So, who is the man in that audio?" Catelyn's eyes were blank.
