Chapter 123: Biting
After listening to Eric's words, Joanna only felt that the person in front of her was an arrogant guy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Truth be told, her brother Papitt's praise wasn't enough for her to build up her confidence in Eric.
"I know you've solved many cases, including the famous Ode massacre. But this time was different. You don't know how many times the works of art in the Pelos Museum have been visited by him. He seems to have a special ability to keep the corners of his clothes out of the way. ”
"I know he's pretty agile. But he hasn't reached the point where he comes and goes like the wind. Eric responded. Being able to move freely in and out of the magic train is not an easy task. But this is something that Eric can do himself.
"Moreover, I consulted all the files of the previous case of the phoenix butterfly before I came, and I also found something in it. I believe it will play a role in stopping him. ”
"Oh?" Joanna was stunned, "what did you find?"
"Confidentiality. Eric's words were just two words, very brief.
......
Joanna opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Her lips trembled visibly. Apparently she was by Eric.
"I'm sorry, Miss Joanna. I'm doing this to prevent information from leaking. Eric didn't want to annoy the eldest lady, so he hurriedly explained.
But at this time, Joanna was even more annoyed and said, "You mean I will leak information?"
"Of course you won't, but not so much for others. The phoenix butterfly said that he was going to infiltrate the castle to steal the painting, do you really think that he is only here to steal the painting?
The Castle Lord's Fort is no match for ordinary museums, and his garrison is at the top of the ranks of Pelos. If it can't stop the phoenix...... This means that your safety has been threatened. It is highly likely that he was using the stealing of the painting as a cover, but in fact it was to assassinate members of the Pelos family. ”
Eric said.
“...... The phoenix butterfly is just a thief and never hurts anyone. ”
Joanna was shaken by Eric's words. But she still clearly thinks she knows more about the monster thief butterfly.
Eric continued, "Maybe you're right, it's a good thing to steal only things. But he may also be tasked with writing down the route and structure of the castle lord fort while stealing the painting, and then tell others about it.
After all, if he came here for a valuable work of art, then there was no reason why he wouldn't sell the same valuable information. ”
Joanna didn't expect this. She couldn't argue with Eric, because it was very likely. Even in her opinion, the route information in the castle lord is far more valuable than a painting.
"Miss, the purpose of my visit today is to meet the Duke and ask him to leave this matter to me. In order to strangle these hidden dangers in the cradle. ”
Eric said solemnly.
Joanna saw Eric's bright eyes full of fervent seriousness.
"For Papitt's sake, I agree with your participation in this arrest. But I can't put the command in your hands. You can do what you want, and that's the maximum authority I can give you. Detectives in the police station who specialize in theft also have to act together. ”
She even agreed to Eric's request directly.
Eric was a little surprised. Joanna in front of her is just an eldest lady, and she has the power to appoint herself directly. He thought he had to see the Duke.
Either way, Miss Pyros shouldn't be a promise. Eric thanked Joanna.
"You actually thank me. It's funny. Joanna laughed. It seemed to her that it was a chore. "The reason why I promise you is because I just want to see if your strength is as good as you say. ”
"I love a challenge. There's nothing more fun than stopping a thief. ”
Eric laughed too.
Joanna felt that the smile was heartfelt.
During this time, Saiba, the old butler, kept his distance from the two. He stood on the landing of the staircase and held on to the handrail, his eyes fixed on the mad lady with the blanket underneath. I don't know if he heard the conversation between the two of them.
Suddenly, old Saiba seemed to remember something. I saw him hurriedly take out a chain from the clip on his jacket pocket and pull it up. The chain was very long, and it took a lot of time to pull it to the end.
It was a pocket watch.
Old Saiba pressed the button to open the lid. Then he saw the time shown on it.
"Oops!Miss, the young master is coming!"
The young master is coming? That means Papitt is coming. Eric misses the guy he hasn't seen in a long time.
Wait, it seems that old Saiba just said something bad, but why is the arrival of Young Master Papitt called it bad?
Oh!
Eric found that the place where the madwoman was lying was only about ten steps away from the gate. I still remember Saiba said that the current lady doesn't recognize her six relatives, and she bites people when she sees them.
If Papitt had come in like this, she would have been attacked by Madame.
Joanna's face was not good-looking. Apparently she also saw the problem.
But it was already too late.
The door opened.
Papitt appeared behind the door. It seems that this young master is very punctual.
At this time, the three people in the hall didn't even dare to come out, for fear of disturbing Madame. The atmosphere in the entire hall was suddenly very oppressive.
For a moment, Eric's mind spun rapidly: if Papitt got into the habit of knocking on the door before entering, she wouldn't put herself in danger.
It can be seen that habit changes fate.
Eric shook his head, shooing away the jumbled thoughts. Right now, it's all about helping Papitt get through it. So, he began to wink at Padett, who had just entered the door, and gestured desperately.
As Padpitt's eyes adjusted to the light in the room, he saw Eric near the staircase greeting him. He immediately put on a smiling face.
When the little friends meet again, the mood will always be much happier.
It's just that...... Eric seems to look a little weird. The left index finger is against the mouth, and the right hand is pointing to the right. Papitt didn't know what he was doing.
Could it be that this is the new popular way of welcoming lately?
Yes, it must be so.
"Eric, long time no see. My friend!"
Papitt spoke anyway.
Pig brains!!!!!! Hurriedly covered his eyes with his right hand.
"Ahh
Just as Eric had expected, a few seconds later a scream rang out.
Joanna saw it clearly, and her mother bit Padpitt on her right arm with cheetah-like speed.
Blood spilled. It looks like the wound is not small.
Papitt was injured because of his carelessness. Eric felt sorry for him.
Joanna was also injured by the scene in front of her. She wept in her heart.
Just because her mother was biting her brother.
A mother bites her own son.
