After introducing each other to each other, everyone knew each other. Elben's Darknest colleagues were making eye contact with each other, not knowing what they meant. Suddenly, he remembered that he had been followed before, and he immediately felt uncomfortable. Could it be that the people here know their secrets, so they have reservations about joining them?

Mallory smiled and glanced around at everyone before clapping her hands: "Okay, I've been working a lot lately, let's all go back to their places and do things, Alben, Minna, you come with me." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Minna followed Mallory upstairs, and when she saw Alben standing hesitantly, she pulled him by the hand: "What are you in a daze?" Come on! Alben was stunned for a moment, and then slowly followed.

When they arrived at the office on the second floor, Mallory smiled and motioned for them to sit down: "At the moment, here in the Dark Nest, when I am not there, Minna is basically in charge. Alben, you may often deal with this place in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask Minna. You're no stranger to her, you've seen her before, haven't you? He blinked his right eye, and Minna snickered, knowing that he was referring to the fact that he had rescued Albon when he was acting as "Minter".

But Alben thought of something else. He remembered that this Minna was Anlong... Cardo's daughter, who had met her in the hallway that time, had looked up some information and learned that Anlong had been locked up in the dungeon of his father and brother at home, and that he had been tortured and almost lost his life. In this respect, he and her can almost be said to be enemies!

I remember that he was undercover in the Security Department at that time, and his son also entered the Security Department, and when he first joined, the other party showed him a lot of faces, and then the other party was transferred away, so that he could start his work. But he knew in his heart that because of what his father and brother had done in the past, the older generation of security officers had always had opinions about him, and he couldn't defend himself, so he could only bury his head in low-key things, couldn't he avoid it?

Minna looked at him with a blue face and a white face, her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look at her directly, a little inexplicable. Could it be that ... He knew that she had poisoned their brother back then? So resentful?!

Minna shifted her position uncomfortably, unable to act as calmly as before.

It was one of the few things she had done that she regretted.

Mallory looked at the two young men she was optimistic about and turned their heads in unison, seemingly unfriendly and a little confused. Didn't Minna admire little Alben? even made small moves for him, how did he suddenly become...

"Is it because of the past?" He seemed to understand something. "Let the past pass. Alben has chosen the freshman. And Minna has grown up. Things to do when I was a child. Let's forget about it. Shake hands. In the future, they will be good colleagues and companions. He gestured to the two children with an encouraging look.

Minna paused. Stretched out his hand first. Alben hesitated. But I still held it. Thought. Since the other party has taken the initiative to reach out. I don't think I mind anymore, right?

Minna cleared her throat. "Mallory." You take Al Ben. Is it because he confessed to you? What does Jada want him to do? ”

Alben was uncomfortable again. Mallory smiled. Repeat what the former said. And he said, "That Princess Stella is a little suspicious. I always felt that she didn't seem to be on the same page as Duke Jada. I'm afraid that someone will have to be sent to tighten the surveillance of her. You may be able to get important information about the interior of Noja. ”

Minna then remembered that she was going to report on the matter: "That's right! I just received the report below! There was something unusual about the Nuojia embassy. It has something to do with this princess! Wait a minute. I'm going to get the report! She immediately turned and ran out.

Alben moved uneasily. Take a few deep breaths. Only then did he muster up the courage to ask, "Your Excellency." You... Have you sent someone to monitor the movements of the Nogar people? Isn't it... Wasn't that when you... Discover me..."

"Huh?" Mallory blinked, "What did you find?" He picked up the cup: "Ah! It's my favorite Maidon specialty milk tea! Minna is always so attentive and thoughtful. ”

"Knock knock", the familiar footsteps sounded, and Alben's whole body stiffened for a moment, only to hear Minna's voice coming from behind him: "This is from Mr. Coachman." He said that Princess Stella had not left the embassy in the past two or three days, and even if she wanted to, she would be stopped at the gate. When others came to visit her, the gatekeepers would always say that she was sick and did not see any visitors. But the coachman saw her in the courtyard looking out the window in her room! Melori, do you think she's under house arrest? ”

"Oh?" Mallory took the report, looked at it carefully, and her expression became serious, "If she and Duke Jeda are not of the same mind, then her secret contact with Alben may anger Duke Jeda, after all, he brought her here for a political marriage." After a pause, his gaze suddenly sharpened: "Someone is trying to make contact with her?!" ”

"Do you mean that strange carriage?" Minna said, "Very suspicious indeed. In the past two days, it has passed through the path near the Noga embassy several times and made short stops. She pulled out another document from below the report: "This was reported by a colleague who was watching from the periphery." Although the carriage had been disguised, they recognized it, and the driver of the carriage claimed to be the servant of a noble lady who was coming to visit Princess Stella, but was refused. ”

"What does the coachman look like?"

"It seems to be a very ordinary appearance, but at that time he was wearing a wide-brimmed hat that covered half of his face, and the people who were watching were far away and could not see clearly. However, they caught a glimpse of the man in the carriage, a woman dressed in purple. ”

Mallory frowned. Alben had been frozen there for a long time, and seeing that they were all discussing seriously, he relaxed a little and interjected: "In Ito's aristocratic circle, there should be many young ladies who have had dealings with Princess Stella, but they are refused to visit the embassy in person, and this kind of thing usually does not happen. Because the ladies will notify each other in advance before going out, and if the other party is inconvenient, they will refuse. It is quite rude to come to the door without saying hello like this, and it is also rude to refuse to let a guest in. The Nogar may not know much about this aspect of etiquette, but the young lady... It's impossible not to know. ”

When Minna heard this, she said to Mallory, "Send a few more people to guard there, right?" Maybe that carriage will reappear. Maybe there's something wrong with it! ”

"We can also ask the young ladies." Alben glanced at the report a few times and made his own suggestion, "Most young ladies can't help but complain afterwards about something like this that is disgraceful. If there is no news at all, it is the most suspicious. ”

"Then do it!" Melori made a decision, "Ming

Send someone to watch... I have no objection to you going out in person, but you have to finish what you have at hand. Seeing Minna's depressed look, he smiled and turned to Alben again: "I heard that your mother has been worried about your marriage recently, a good son shouldn't make his mother sad, take a vacation, and make a date with the young ladies, right?" How about being positive, talkative, and having them fall for you? ”

Alben frowned and hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding. Minna grimaced at Mallory, took the report and went downstairs.

Shopping smiled and raised her teacup, took a sip of milk tea, and let out a sigh of satisfaction in her admiration.

The surveillance and investigation work was carried out in an orderly manner, and important information was soon obtained. The mysterious carriage was not occupied by a noble lady, because the next day she came to the door in a different capacity, and as a result, she was only invited to the foyer for a cup of tea, and then had to leave, and could not see Princess Stella at all. The people in the embassy seemed to be wary, and she couldn't disguise it anymore, so she had to find another way.

The woman had somehow bribed a handyman at the embassy, and sneaked in through the back door disguised as a maid, and met Princess Stella's maid in the backyard, but before she could say a word, she was discovered and had to flee in a hurry. The watchman was close at the time, and vaguely heard the maid seem to call the woman "Pobi", but the rest of the words were inaudible. The maid never appeared again.

"Perby?" Minna felt that the name was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and thought about it with her ears sideways.

Alben sat beside him with some restraint and said to Mallory: "The colleague in charge of tracking found that the woman had entered a building in a carriage, and according to our investigation, the house was purchased by Viscount Mandning, and the name of the owner was Purbidwall. I had heard rumours that the Viscount had several mistresses, and this was probably one of them. Your Excellency, do you think we need to keep an eye on Viscount Mandheling and Devor? ”

Mallory smiled, "Aren't you going to help him say something?" As far as I know, the two of you used to be in-laws and had a very close relationship. ”

Alben moved his body a little uncomfortably: "Anyway, I'm a member of the Security Service now. "Since Viscount Mandheling almost became his stepfather, the two families have all but severed their contact.

Mallory gave him an approving smile and turned to look at Minna.

Minna glared at the report, and after a long while, she said, "About this woman's situation... I could ask Alex and he should know better. When she said this, she couldn't help but think of the anonymous letter from the safari party, which had been thrown in front of Viscount Mandheling's tent, and then thought of the person who wrote the letter about Noga's secrets, and she couldn't help but wonder if the person who wrote the letter could be Princess Stella. But why?

Melori obviously thought about it too, and nodded slowly: "Alex is half of our own and can be trusted. ”

Minna got Melory's permission and immediately went to the college district to find Alex. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, if the Mandheling family really had an ulterior relationship with the Nogga people, then what would Alex do?

At this time, Princess Stella had no idea that she had become the object of suspicion of others, she had red eyes, glared at her cousin in front of her, and there was a faint anxiety in her eyes. Her maid knelt beside her, and from time to time she looked at the people in front of her.

Jada casually flipped through a black-skinned notebook and asked, "Albenda?" Why is his diary in your hands? Didn't you say that this is a girl's little secret? ”

"Give it back!" Stella tried to snatch the notebook back, but her cousin grabbed her wrist and threw it away: "Watch your behavior, don't forget that you are a princess!" ”

Stella bit her lip and tried to persuade Jada: "This is someone else's diary, I want to return it to him, you can't take it!" ”

"I'll give you back the land." Jada walked out the door, "Be safe, when East's battle for crown prince is over, your marriage will be decided." I'll take you back to Noga before the wedding takes place. Stop being delusional. ”

The door slammed shut, and again came the voice of him telling the soldiers and maids to keep watch. Stella ran to the window and looked down, and saw that the downstairs was also heavily guarded, and scolded "bastard" hatefully, before lying down on the bed in frustration: "What should I do?" We can't get in touch with the outside world. Now let alone hand over the things, even our original tasks, we know whether we can complete them. ”

"Don't worry, princess." The maid sneered slightly, "Now that we have done a lot of things, as long as we wait for the news from the country to come, he will not be able to be angry for a few days." Pobey doesn't need this urgently, so it doesn't matter how long it lasts. ”

Stella thought about it too, and the smile returned to her face.

In the room a few dozen meters away from her, Jada looked at the notes of the head of Alben's family and sneered slightly.

That young man actually wanted to perfunctory himself? It's really overwhelming! It seems that it is necessary to send one or two letters out of hand, and those who refuse to be obedient should be beaten and beaten.

When he saw that the Security Bureau sent someone to infiltrate Shaonan's undercover agent, he also laughed with mockery. What if they are allies of each other? What's the difference with a half-enemy nation like them? They are also wary of each other. Thinking that the secret agent team he has cultivated in China in recent years has also achieved good results in Shaonan, he is faintly proud in his heart, although he started later than others, he believes that he will succeed sooner or later.

He continued to look through the contents of the notebook, watching the records in it gradually change from immaturity to maturity, and recently, the recorder's thinking had become clear and logical, but the content of the Security Department had almost completely disappeared, and for a whole month, he only mentioned that he had met a girl in red several times in the department.

Alben wrote: "The ring around her neck is so familiar, I remember seeing it on Chemint, but wasn't it a teenager who saved me back then? Why did his ring appear on a maiden? At that time, he had taken out a lot of objects from his body, it must have been a storage device, I originally thought it was a ring, but that ring was very new, if it was a storage weapon, how could it change the owner? The storage rings that have appeared in the last ten years, as long as the owner is recognized, others will no longer be able to open its space. Could it be that Shaw Mint had brought other storage utensils with her, and the ring was just an ornament? Maybe that's a reasonable answer. ”

Jada's hand trembled slightly. The ring, he had seen it up close many times, whether it was on Minter or Minna, he knew it was a storage artifact. If, then, it really can't change the owner, then ...

Minter and Minna... Could it really be the same person?!

(Jada finally found out...) ）
