Chapter 41: The Cruel Truth
A cat turned into Connie and blocked Ellie's bullets?
Eric had always felt that the pharmacist who had developed such a high-end product as the voice-changing potion should not be so obscure. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this point, he finally connected all the clues about Connie.
Well, the always elegant Miss Connie was not a pharmacist at all, but a witch who was proficient in herbalism, transfiguration, and spells. Witches don't want to be famous, and as a profession that is dying, it's safer to live in the dark.
In this case, Connie has been helping Iyeta clean up the circus' silverwork as a white cat so that she can live more comfortably in the troupe. It was Connie who mistakenly took Eric's badge away, and it was Connie who returned it.
The deputy head of the regiment is really hard work.
Connick, who had just blocked a bullet, didn't have time to guess what Eric was thinking. All she cared about now was Jasmine, who was slumped on the ground. But Jasmine was clearly confused by what had just happened. But no matter what the process is, judging by the results, it seems that his good sister Connie and the murderer are in the same group.
Finally, Jasmine cried. The cry was not loud, but even the man Eric could see her grief.
Jasmine recalls the day Iyeta took her in, the hateful leader who took her in the muddy man on the side of the road, gave her the only place to live, and taught her the skills she needed to survive. And the deputy head Connie's meticulous care of her made a cold heart gradually warm up.
They are like Jasmine's parents. But now, Jasmine suddenly felt that they were so strange. She had never been in the world of Connie and Iyeta.
She didn't know anything about them.
"Jasmine......" Connie said cautiously, "Looks like you need some explanation." ”
Iyeta hid behind Connie without saying a word, the gun in her hand already down.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that things could be resolved peacefully.
As if consciously keeping a distance from Jasmine, Connie spoke, "Ietta and I, and even Truuk, are from Clayme in the North. ”
Claymee Eric frowned.
Sin City Clemme. A large city in the north of the Empire, which, like Pylos, is one of the few cities in Odin that still retains a high degree of autonomy, but the Holy Capital does not want to take back its autonomy at all.
And that's only because Clayme is the hell of the upright, the paradise of the criminals. It is home to a variety of rare professions who have settled there to escape the distractions of the world. The whole city is surrounded by high walls, and at the same time all the troubles are wrapped inside. Killing and gore are synonymous with Clayme.
All the Holy Capital can do is to leave all the big and small affairs to the city lord of Clayme to take care of alone, and escort all the vicious criminals to Clayme—the farther away from him, the better.
Eric couldn't imagine how these women could survive there.
"Because of a hateful man, Iyeta decided to leave Clayme, so she sold her family property, founded the Red Warbler, and left Clime with me and two other members. Taking you in was a few years after the circus became famous......"
Seeing that Jasmine was indifferent, Connie continued, "Since then, the seed of hating men has been planted in Iyeta's heart, until the pillar she trained by her own hands left the circus again because of men, and that person was still the veteran member of the Senate who left Clemme with us. At that time, she was so angry that she kicked out all the male troupe members, and only women were left in the circus. This is where the group rules come from......
But when Iyeta hears that you have a man in a relationship, her first reaction is not anger. She calmly asked me to investigate the details of the man, Baron Lyle. She just doesn't want to be hurt like she was at the beginning, and there's no doubt that she loves you. ”
"Love me?" Jasmine smiled, and the smile was ugly.
Iyeta simply turned her head away from looking at Jasmine.
"Although you don't want to believe it at this time, I still have to say yes, she loves you very much. Iyeta was afraid that you would be sad and wouldn't let me tell you the results of the investigation, but now it seems that she has to tell you the truth. ”
Connie took a breath, "Baron Lyle is a complete liar! his love history could even be compiled into a long book of poems!"
"You're a liar... Even if it's true, I don't care about his past!" Jasmine immediately retorted vigorously.
"Trust me, Jasmine. Eva the Widow in Yorktown, Lady Ivy in Cosburg, Mina in Conside...... will confirm my words. Connie's mouth came with a bunch of names of towns and people.
Hearing these names, Jasmine's heart began to hesitate. But no matter what, she couldn't believe that the original vows were all rhetoric.
"Indeed, Lyle is a baron of false name. But his family has long since declined, and now he is so poor that he is dinging. His only purpose in approaching these women was to covet their money and keep it for himself. With a beautiful face, a title of nobility and a wealth of love skills, he is simply invincible, and almost all women will fall for him. ”
Jasmine looked sluggish, and she began to think about how Lyle would behave when she came into contact with her...... It seems to fit Connie's words perfectly. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.
Iric's indignation that among the victims was a girl from his hometown.
"Iyeta even went to Lyle in person, promising to give him 20,000 Oron to get you away from you. She loves you more than the money!But Lyle disagrees, maybe he sees that we don't want you to know the truth, so he asks for a higher amount. For such an insatiable guy, we finally decided to give him some kind of accident...... His death may make you miserable for a while, but his life will undoubtedly make you even more miserable......"
Connie said, looking at Eric, "The detective's presence has disrupted our plans, and he has seen through all of our methods. Originally, Iyeta wanted to kill him so that you would never know that Lyle was a liar, so that you would suffer the least damage...... But now that you're here, there's no need to do that. ”
Eric, a spirit, is not very pleasant to be easily decided by someone who lives and dies.
Jasmine's hands were tightly clasped around her mouth.
"Cry, child. ”
It was Iyeta, who had been silent.
This sentence also knocked on Jasmine's tear ducts, and she threw herself into Connie's arms, tears welling up in her eyes in an instant, like a rushing river.
"I'm sorry......" Iyeta hesitated and said to Jasmine.
"Hold... Deficient. Jasmine, who was crying, also responded. Probably ashamed that he didn't know the good intentions of the regiment commander. Connie hugged Jasmine tightly, one hand still beating at her back.
Iyeta smiled. She looked down and fiddled with the Curt that was still in her hand a few times, then turned her head to look at Eric, who was idle, like an outsider, "Are you going to arrest us?"
Eric scratched his head, and he was flattered that the regimental commander, who had been going to take his life a second ago, suddenly spoke to him so well.
However, Eric did not answer her, but asked, "Captain, don't you hate men, and since you have already seen through that I am a man, why do you still let me perform in the circus?"
Iyeta was stunned, apparently not expecting him to ask this question: "On the one hand, it's out of curiosity. Since he is a man dressed as a woman, there must be a reason why he must stay here. I'm sorry Connie took your badge by mistake. Also, I've never seen a guy like you, pretending to be a woman and being cuter than a woman. ”
Guy cuter than a woman?
Eric grimaced. Although he was complimented, he was not happy at all.
