Chapter 43: The Imitator

Fiona has another identity and is very related to Nina. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis point has been suspicious since Fiona first said that she knew about Nina's entry. The reason is very simple, a state-class passenger, at least a big businessman or a more powerful identity, how can the operator of the airship risk offending such a guest and betray the other party's itinerary information?

Then there is only one explanation, and that is the special departmental requirements within the empire. But how Fiona could have been involved with the Special Services is unknown.

The egret is not a newcomer to another world, and has gradually begun to understand the situation between various empires. In particular, what kind of privileges will there be as a nobleman, and what does the class of the nobility represent.

At least Egret understands the meaning of Fiona's Luther family. This is one of the great nobles who can influence the inheritance of the country.

"So, Fiona must still be accompanied by a lot of people who are secretly guarding. You don't have to worry too much about safety on the road. The egret pondered in his heart.

If you reach the territory of Shenghui, you will have to run for at least two days. The fastest special train is this speed. However, before reaching Shenghui, the train had an accident. It stopped as it passed through Torrena, the border city of Banko, and then was surrounded by uniformed bands of armed men.

Soon, a train attendant came over and knocked on the door of the room where the egret and his party were told.

"Stop?" Egret looked at the train attendant at the door questioningly, "What's wrong?"

The flight attendant was drenched in sweat, and it was clear that the matter was urgent. He ran quite a bit and informed almost all the passengers. "There was a theft on the train. Your Excellency, because the stolen items are very valuable, and the perpetrator seems to be a Grand Thief Shadow, you have been ordered to stop by the Imperial investigators at the site ahead. ”

"Theft?" Egret was stunned for a moment, who would commit such a crime on the train, this thing can't get off halfway, and you all know the perpetrator, why don't you just arrest people, and wait for the Imperial investigators to board the train?

However, Nina and Fiona walked out together, and Nina seemed to know something about this Rogue Shadow, "Rogue Shadow, the most famous guy in recent years. Stealing money from wealthy merchants or nobles, and then using the money from the sale to help thieves in the slums. It is very famous among the people. ”

"It seems that this thief has offended the official to death. The corner of the egret's eyes jumped, he could lead the Imperial investigator to the train, how many things did this guy steal?

Fiona said disapprerovingly, "It's not that he can steal anything valuable, it's just that this guy is like a provocation every time, first sending a notice and then stealing." No matter how exaggerated the defensive guard is, this guy has never missed. It's a shame on the investigative agencies of several empires, and it's a public enemy of investigators between various empires. ”

That's arrogant enough. As a thief, it's good to steal property quietly, even if you are highly skilled, as long as you don't make a noise, you can get by in terms of officialdom, and the intensity of tracking down thieves may not be great. But you advertised that you were going to steal something, and then you succeeded with the Imperial Guardians gathered, and then fled.

I can't bear it in that country. In other words, you think you're Chu Liuxiang!

"I thought that this kind of stupid thief who would send a notice before attacking would only appear in the novel, but I didn't expect to run here and meet a live-action version. "Egret had a bunch of strange characters resembling Kidd the Strange Thief Cos in his mind. "Anyway, this guy is either a freak or a guy who is smart enough to be conceited. ”

"I couldn't agree more with what you're saying. A female voice suddenly reached the egret's ears. A figure abruptly imprinted into the eyes of the egret, this is a woman who looks very capable in uniform, not very old, but the hairstyle is old-fashioned but refreshing, and the whole person gives people a sense of vigor and resoluteness.

The woman's appearance is outstanding, even if it is not much worse than Fiona and Nina, and what is more attractive is the majestic dimension on her chest, which is very attractive to the gaze of the male.

"First meeting, Lord Egret. I'm Lilith, a special investigator for the Banco Empire. Nice to meet you. Lilith made a chivalric salute.

Egret returned the salute, and he and Nina had been learning these etiquettes lately. These etiquettes are like shaking hands, and the position of each movement is exquisite. Fortunately, the Egret has a good memory, and it will be able to smoothly express the feeling of being a knight.

"Banko's investigator, what are you looking for the egret?" Fiona looked at Lilith puzzled, the status of the egret was not low, and the investigator was not qualified to investigate him.

"What else can you do. It is estimated that it is to assist in the investigation. Egret sighed and said to Fiona.

"I solved the incident of Yulina on the airship before, and if nothing else, it has spread throughout several empires because of the fame of the singer. A little attention will show you my role in this. So naturally it will be focused. This Lilith investigator, probably when she was looking through the list of passengers on the train, saw my name, so she came to me to try her luck and see if I could help. Right?" The last sentence was for Lilith.

The beautiful investigator woman's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's as thoughtful as the rumors." If you can take the time to help, we at the research agency would be grateful. ”

"That's a big deal. Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first. I'm really interested in this thief or something. The egret grinned, and prayed silently in his heart, don't be a strange thief with strange costumes or something, don't talk about catching people when you look at that shape, I'm afraid you will laugh when you see yourself.

"Let me start with a briefing. Lilith said to the egret as she led the way. "The stolen item is the gospel badge of a bishop of the Holy Radiance. Because it is an item that the Pope himself prayed for, and it is also an item that carries magical powers that has been passed down from ancient times, it is very precious. ”

The Shadow first sent a notice letter to the Bishop. It states that the gospel badge will be stolen in the near future. So the bishop directly put the badge on his body, but it was still this morning, and it disappeared. ”

"What about the bishop's entourage, is there anything unusual?" asked the egret after a moment's thought.

Lilith organized her words and replied, "Nothing unusual. The bishop's entourage is all devout priests. The loss of the badge also made these people anxious. The bishop's personal entourage consisted of three, all of whom were his disciples. ”

"So, no one has gone missing since the incident?"

"Of course not. Lilith looked at the egret strangely and replied puzzled. Is there anyone missing? What does this have to do with theft?

"Was the Bishop stolen from the train?" asked Egret casually.

Lilith nodded, "That should be the case. After all, the bishop is pretty sure that yesterday the badge was still there. ”

"So you mean, the thieves finished the theft on the train. And run away?" the egret asked as the corners of his mouth twitched.

"It can't be. Lilith shook her head, "The train is moving so fast that you can't get off the train at all. At present, we are also checking personnel to see if there are any missing passengers or train staff. ”

"And what about the bishop's itinerary, where did he go on the train?"

"Only in the stateroom room, because I received a thief notice letter, so the bishop and his party traveled very low-key, and they never went anywhere in the room. Lilith replied.

"One last question, how much does that badge sell for?" asked Egret.

Lilith was stunned, not knowing how to answer the question. The badge itself is not of much value, and what is valuable is actually an event blessed by the Pope. If it is said that the selling price is spoken, then only believers who may sell to the Holy Radiance can get a high price.

"After all, it is the blessing of the Pope, and I think if the believers knew about it, they would definitely pay a very high price. Lilith said reluctantly.

"yes. Do you think Shadow of Rogues is stupid, stealing Bishop Radiant's things and selling them at Radiance?" Egret sighed helplessly, "You've already thought of that possibility, haven't you?" It's just that the religious personnel who have been trusting Shenghui for a long time have not spoken out. ”

Lilith didn't speak, she knew what Egret was thinking about, and although she didn't want to admit it, it was most likely true.

The egret didn't care so much, and followed Lilith to the bishop's room.

"May the Divine Afterglow always watch over us, Your Majesty, and greet you Lilith. Lilith made a prayer gesture and came up to a middle-aged man, his head bowed slightly.

"May the Holy Spirit always protect you, my child. The middle-aged man smiled in response, making the same gesture of prayer.

This middle-aged man has a good appearance, and although he is called a bishop, he does not have a condescending posture. On the contrary, it seems very kind, which makes people feel close when they meet for the first time.

"May the divine afterglow always watch over us, and greetings to the egrets. The egret also stepped forward at this time and greeted the bishop.

"Hello. The bishop's gaze turned to the egret, and then continued, "Are you also a follower of the Holy Radiance?" I'm sorry, but I don't have any information about you in my memory. ”

"Not really. I'm just here to help Lilith, well, a knight. Egret replied with a smile. "By the way, I came to arrest the copycat of the thief. One of your three apprentices. ”

"What?!"

This sentence can make the scene explode.

Lilith had brought the Egret with heron, but the Bishop's room was not just the Bishop, but all the passengers of the Holy Radiance who had known about the situation had come to the Bishop to see if they could help. So when Egret and Lilith came in, there were quite a few people in the room. And the three disciples of the bishop were greeting the guests one by one.

After the egret entered the door, this sentence did not shy away from anyone, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Nonsense!" said one of the Bishop's apprentices, "what evidence do you have for such a thing! If you can't prove what you said, the Divine Radiance's Arbitration Board will let you give an account!"

"Well, of course I can prove it. The egret smiled, not caring about the threat at all. "Let's do a little experiment together. ”
