Chapter One The new arrival of Deacon Inugami
The morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains that had not been fully closed, and sprinkled on the boy's body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As if feeling the caress of the morning light, the young man turned his face slightly and slowly opened his eyes. His chestnut hair was shaggy in the sunlight, and the canine ears on top of his head illustrated the fact that he wasn't human. As if enjoying the beautiful singing of the birds outside the window, the young man stretched out in satisfaction, and then he raised his hand and touched the pocket watch at the head of the bed, on which the words "06:20" were clearly displayed.
For the first time in this manor, I woke up before Mr. Ghowiy came to call me. Thinking so, he skillfully folded the thin blanket on the bed, took off his pajamas and pajamas, opened the closet and hung them. The wardrobe was lined with three identical deacon robes and a suit uniform that looked very expensive. The boy took off his deacon robe and put it on, turned to open the curtains and opened the window. Fresh air pours into the room with a faint scent of flowers.
"Ah, what a nice day! Good morning, Mr. Guwie! The boy smiled at the man who was pruning the flower garden downstairs and greeted him happily. The man who heard the voice seemed to look up at the boy in some surprise.
"Good morning, Xiutru, I'm surprised you woke up so early today."
"Aha, I feel like I'm used to my life now."
"That's great, then I'll leave it to you to wake up Miss today. I've already prepared breakfast, it's in the kitchen, please send it to Miss. ”
“Yes,Sir!” With that, the young man named Shutru suddenly straightened up and saluted Guvie.
"I'm relieved to see you're in such good spirits, but ......" Guviy pointed to the top of his head.
Xiutru touched the top of his head suspiciously, and his fingers immediately touched a furry object. "Ahh Forget...... I forgot to put my ears away......" he retracted into the room with a blushing face, walked briskly to the bedside and picked up his pocket watch. "Soon...... Soon I will be a good deacon like Mr. Guwiy! As if having made up his mind, he put away his pocket watch and walked to the kitchen.
Shotru walked into the kitchen and opened the oven door. Sure enough, as Guviyi had said, there were four fragrant croissants lying quietly in the baking tray. He took out the baking sheet, cut one of them, smeared it with reddish-brown jam and placed it on a plate in the dining car. Jam made from fresh strawberries meets hot bread and has a nice fruity aroma. Xiutru opened the cupboard next to him, took out a set of tea sets, and put them on the dining car. The white teacups are adorned with tiny pale pink cherry blossoms. Xiutru silently recited in his heart, "Don't break it, don't break it...... This is a set of tea sets that Miss likes very much...... "While carefully putting the teapot with black tea on the dining car, she pushed the dining cart to the young lady's master bedroom as if relieved.
Standing in front of the young lady's door, Xiutru took out his pocket watch and confirmed the time.
“5… 4… 3… 2… 1..."The second hand passed the Roman numeral "12", and the floor clock in the room rang on time. He knocked on the door, cleared his throat and said, "Miss, may I come in, it's already seven o'clock." ”
There was silence in the ...... room, and as the bell ended, everything around was controlled by silence.
"Miss? I'm in, huh? ”
Shutrum opened the door to his bedroom, and was greeted by a luxuriously furnished room. The dark red carpet had golden patterns on it, as if it was a very complex and beautiful magic array. Above the carpet was a soft and comfortable bed, with a huge brown stuffed bear on the bed, which took up almost half of the bed. There are also various small puppets scattered around, all of which are fluffy and cute animals. It seems that the owner of the room is a little girl who is not in the grade and likes stuffed animals.
"Huh?" Shutru parked the food truck and rummaged through the piles of stuffed animals, but the owner of the toy he was looking for was still nowhere to be found, and the bed showed no signs of being used last night. Shutru opened the door to the small study that came with his bedroom, and sure enough, the culprit was asleep on the table piled high with books and papers.
"Oh, really, I'm asleep here again, what if I catch a cold." With this in his heart, Xiutru looked at the petite girl at the desk. A long curly hair of milky blonde is spread out on the desk, and the delicate porcelain doll-like facial features are really eye-catching.
I still remember the scene when I saw the young lady for the first time, my head was still muddy when I was first summoned, and when I knelt on the ground and looked up, I saw her standing motionless in front of me and very petite in a dress, with a pair of big sapphire eyes staring at me as if they were going to suck me in, and the complex magic array under her feet was still glowing. She is the goddess, who has redeemed me so badly, at this moment, it seems that there are only two of us in the world, I looked at her in a daze, until Guwii behind her stepped forward and handed me a pocket watch, she said: "I heard your wishes." Shotru, from today your name is Shotru, it's me, Charlotte? Deacon of the House of Victoria II. Before I could recover from my stunned, I blurted out, "So you're not a rag doll!" "Then I remembered that I had been hit the head, and when I woke up again, I learned from Shutru that she hated being called short, or like a rag doll, Mademoiselle.
Shutru smiled softly, walked to the window and opened the heavy curtains, and the sunlight poured into the room full of books in an instant, and the dust was blown everywhere by his violent movements, and shone with a golden light around the young lady.
"Uh-huh......" The young lady, who seemed to be woken up by the noise, let out a soft snort, and then turned her head to continue sleeping.
"Oh yes, wake up soon, Miss! Don't sleep anymore! It's already past seven o'clock! ”
“……”
"Really, I can't wake up." Shutru thought for a moment, approached the young lady who had fallen asleep again, and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Monsieur Guviy has baked a croissant!" ”
“…… Well...... "There is no sign of getting up."
“…… Mr. Guvie has prepared Ladurée's macarons! If we don't get up again, we're going to eat them all! ”
"Hmm...... Well?! ”
"Ah, finally awake! Miss, there are visitors coming at 8 o'clock today, so please hurry up and get ready to wash and change clothes. ”
"Horse ...... Macarong? What about my Macarong? Looking at the young lady who had just woken up and wanted to eat macarons before her speech was clear, Xiutru smiled helplessly.
"Yes, macarons, you can get up quickly."
The young lady jumped off the chair and rushed into her bedroom.
The young lady who had changed her clothes sat on a chair, eating croissants and drinking black tea elegantly, completely unable to equate with the sleepy and greedy little girl ten minutes ago.
"It's you who came to wake me up today, how about it, Xiutru, are you used to living here?"
"Thanks to the help of Mademoiselle and Mr. Guvie, after a month of training, I have become completely accustomed to it."
"That's good, what about Guvie?" After drinking the last sip of black tea, the young lady asked quietly.
"Mr. Gouwiy is pruning the flower beds, and today he asked me to help you get ready to get up."
"Hmph, damn Gouvie, you ...... the macarons too," muttered Mademoiselle in a low voice.
"Huh? What did you say, miss? ”
"Ah...... Nothing, give me the newspaper. ”
Shutru took out a newspaper and a letter from under the dining car, handed the newspaper to the young lady, and looked at the letter suspiciously. A white envelope with a handwritten letter to Charlotte? Miss Victoria's English font is very beautiful, and the pattern of the red fire paint seal on the back seems to have been carefully designed, symbolizing the identity of the sender. I opened the envelope with a letter opener, and there was only a thin piece of stationery inside, and the font on the letter paper was also very pleasing to the eye. Xiutru handed the letter to the young lady, looked at the envelope and said strangely, "This letter is not written to the sender." ”
"Ah, that's the guy's style."
"That guy?"
"Well, take a closer look at that seal."
"Seals?" Shutru glanced at the red seal, "There are two swords in the leaves, and there seems to be a crown." ”
"What else?"
"And ...... The words of the SCD ......"
“SpecialistCrimeDirectorate.”
"Ahh This is the abbreviation of the Specialized Criminal Department! ”
"That's right, it's Robt guy."
"That means the sender is a police officer?! Just a glance to know who the sender is, miss...... Sure enough......"
"What's wrong?" It seemed that after reading the short letter, the young lady asked without raising her head while flipping through the newspaper in her hand.
"Ah...... No...... Speaking of which, why did the police send a letter to the young lady? ”
"Do you remember when I went out once two weeks ago?"
"Of course I do! The young lady, who usually barely walks in the study, was shocked when she read a letter and said that she was going to London. ”
"Yes, that's the time I helped the Criminal Department solve a case."
"However, the young lady will be back the next day."
"Hmm...... The answer to the case is obvious, it's just that the police can't see the truth at a glance. As she spoke, the young lady pointed to a long piece of news in the newspaper and handed it to Xiutru. That's it. ”
"Serial murder of a mysterious girl and young woman?! Serial murder?! Shutru's voice was full of surprise, and he took the newspaper and read it quickly.
"At 6:21 a.m. on April 16, the police received a report that the body of a woman had been found in an alley next to a bar in London. That night, Daisy and another escort walked back to the rental house behind the bar, where there was no sign of a fight and no one heard the quarrel in the alley. Within two weeks of the incident, there were five more murders of young girls and women in the alleys surrounding the bar, none of which were witnesses, and because of a very clear common feature in all cases, the police concluded that the same person had committed them. Due to the huge impact of the vicious case, the police deployed a large number of police forces to conduct an in-depth investigation, and finally arrested a criminal suspect on May 2...... Miss....... where is this a small case, such a dangerous investigation actually let a delicate woman like Miss go, if something happens......"
"Xiutru!"
"Ah...... Sorry miss...... I'm a little out of control. Xiutru lowered his head and said softly, "This is Miss's job, I shouldn't be interjecting, I'm very sorry." ”
Looking at Xiutru, who looked gloomy, the young lady thought for a while and said, "No, it's not your fault, thank you for worrying about me." ”
“…… Miss......" Xiutru looked up at her.
"By the way, isn't there a visitor coming in a moment?" As if to change the subject, the young lady handed the letter and the newspaper to Xiutru, "An old friend of mine will be coming in a moment. ”
"Old friends?" Shutru put the letter and newspaper back on the dining cart, and pushed the dining cart and followed the young lady out of the room.
"Yes, the second young master of the Elpitt family, the intelligence house. You'll definitely get in touch with him in the future. ”
