"We hope you'll use Detective Issinger's connections to get me or Judy a chance to enter the prom venue."

"You don't have to risk the rest, we'll take care of it, and it won't put you in danger."

With that, Karen looked at Abner with a smile, waiting for his reply.

What a coincidence, I just received the invitation......

Hearing this request, Abner was stunned for a moment, and then after a moment of silence, he asked, "Viscount Karen, why don't you use the blood clan to get the invitation?" And this kind of ordinary person's dance party can easily be mixed in without an invitation with your means, right? ”

Cullen smiled and shook his head, explaining: "This is not an ordinary ball, it is said that there will be a big man to give a speech, and the on-site inspection will definitely be very strict, and if the blood clan is used, it will inevitably be subject to the focus of MI9." ”

"Big shots? Which big shot? Abner asked curiously. Mike's invitation to him didn't mention it.

"I don't know which one it is...... But it should be a member of the royal family. Cullen said this, looking at Abner, who was obviously a little moved, and added, "Of course, we won't let you do this for nothing. If you get the admission, I'll give you a copy of the Bloodline's treasured set of occult books. ”

Abner's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I was actually invited to this ball, and I was allowed to bring a companion with me, but I don't have to trouble the teacher. But ......."

"Whatever you want, just ask." Viscount Karen promised with a smile.

"I want to buy an extraordinary material from the Bloodline, and I need your help to convey it on my behalf." Abner implicitly looked forward to authenticity.

"What material?" Cullen didn't think it was too much trouble to be a middleman, and he might make a difference, so why not.

"The heart of the Elder Tree." Abner exhaled and stated his goal.

Cullen glanced at him and said meaningfully, "So you're really a 'detective'......" Then he changed his words and said affirmatively: "Yes, I'll help you ask about it." I remember that there should have been this material in the treasury. ”

"Great! Thank you, Viscount Karen. After thanking him from the bottom of his heart, Abner thought that the identities of these "desolate people" did not seem to stand up to investigation, and he couldn't help asking:

"Although I can bring a companion in, but since there are big people coming, I'm afraid the censorship will not be relaxed, in what capacity do you want to follow me in?"

It is certainly not possible to be a "desolate", although this is an official official of the Orthodox God Church, but it is also an out-and-out foreigner.

At this time, Judy, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly interjected: "I have an extraordinary item that records the transformation abilities of the 'Faceling', and when the time comes, I can disguise myself as a clean, checkable native and enter with you." ”

"What identity? If it's someone who has nothing to do with me, I'm afraid I'll be suspicious of MI9 security, right? If you're being watched, it's hard to get close to Lady Windsor. Although Abner didn't know how the "Desolates" planned to deal with Windsor, once they were stared at to death, they were afraid that no matter how powerful they were, it would be difficult to use them.

"Yes...... In those days or two, I'll get acquainted with you in disguise, pretending to have a good conversation, so that it doesn't seem like we're going to the prom together. Judy thought about it and immediately offered a solution.

"That's a solution...... But did it take that long for your Extraordinary Item records to have the 'Faceling' ability? ”

"Rest assured, this ability has been recorded more than twenty times, and each time it can be maintained for at least six hours, even if it is used for another week, there is no problem." Judy replied confidently.

But why record so many 'Facelings'? Is it because you change your face every time you get into trouble?

Abner spit secretly, but kept smiling on the surface. What he didn't expect was that this complaint was actually very close to the truth.

At this time, Captain Arsenov, who had not spoken, clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, let's do what we just discussed. Go ahead and prepare, and make sure you don't make things difficult for Mr. Blaine. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

……

Wednesday, August 1.

After breakfast, Abner glanced at the date on the Beckland Morning Post, which the teacher subscribed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's August, and time flies so fast...... This is also the last month of comfort, and since then, the kingdom of Rune and the whole world have been happening one big thing after another.

It wasn't until the bell of the Cathedral of the Holy Wind rang in the distance, seven times in a row, that Abner came back to his senses, got up slowly, went to his cupboard, and took out his clothes.

With a black waistcoat, a formal suit of the same color, copper-rimmed glasses, a half-top hat, and a faint bookish atmosphere, Abner looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, and said hello to the teacher's servant before heading out.

But at this moment, two young girls came in from outside, and when they saw Abner, their eyes lit up, and they walked quickly.

The girl in front of her, dressed in a beige dress with a tiny lady's top hat and a faint freckle on her face, was none other than Abner's schoolmate, Susan, the daughter of Sheriff Fiona of the North District.

And Abner, the girl behind Susan, also recognizes that she is also a classmate of the original owner, that is, Roman, who joined Susan's Copsti teacher club at the last dance.

"Great detective, why don't you speak? Have you forgotten your old classmates and friends when you became famous? Susan approached and joked with Abner with a grin.

"How so? It's just that I was a little surprised to see you...... Is there something coming to me? Abner was indeed a little surprised, as far as he knew, Susan had been receiving some lady's etiquette education all this time, and should not have time to run out and play.

"Can't I come to see you if it's okay? When we were in the club, apart from Jane, we had the best relationship! The girl lifted the bar in dissatisfaction, and then pulled Roman behind her, and continued, "But you guessed it, we do have a commission...... No, Roman has entrusted you to be precise. ”

"What commission? What about Mr. Kapusti? Abner asked curiously.

"Because my mother found a lot of parents to put pressure on her, Ms. Kapusti has been expelled from the school. It was as if he had gone to Tingen to apply for a new position, and was not currently in Beckland. Susan vetoed Abner's speculation, then pulled Roman, who was hanging his head in frustration, and said helplessly for her:

"I'm here for Roman's business...... Her betrothed partner is suspected of secretly having a lover, and we want you to find out what their relationship is...... If it's really that kind of relationship, I hope you can take a few photos as evidence. ”

In this way, my first commission after becoming famous turned out to be a rape? After Abner complained secretly, his eyes turned to Roman, who always kept his head down, and for some reason, he always felt that Roman felt something wrong with him, and she didn't seem to be as sad as she looked.

"Roman, what's your fiancé's name? Where to stay? And how did you know he had a lover? Abner didn't fail to do the task of catching rape when he was a "reasoning student", so he was naturally familiar with the road at this time.

Before Roman could say anything when he heard Abner ask, Susan rejoiced and exclaimed, "Great, Abner, you agreed to the commission?" I thought you wouldn't bother to deal with this kind of case after you became a well-known detective. ”

Abner smiled and didn't speak, only looked at Roman, who felt more and more that something was wrong with this classmate. You must know that in the memory of the original owner, she is much more lively than Susan, even if she is hit, she should not be so silent.

"I'd like to talk to Abner about this alone......" Roman plucked up the courage to say this after a long moment, and then she turned to Susan and said expectantly, "Is that okay?" ”

Susan was a little surprised when she heard this, but she soon felt that this involved her friend's privacy, and she really didn't want to listen to it, so she nodded understandingly: "Then I'll wait for you here." ”

Abner also wanted to hear what the classmate was up to, so he led her into his office, and as soon as he entered, he suddenly found that the whole room was blocked by a spiritual wall!

Abner was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the pure white eye, and at the same time took the revolver in the gun bag in his hand.

"Abner, don't be so nervous, it's me!" At this time, Roman behind him suddenly changed his voice, and his proficient Rune also became a little southern accent.

"Judy?" Abner breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't let his guard down, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you use the image of my classmate to come here?" ”

"It's me...... Your classmate was devastated by her fiancé's affair and jumped into the Tasok River last night, but was rescued by me and survived...... She is currently recuperating at the Harvest Chapel, under the care of Karen, and you can visit her whenever you want. Afraid that Abner would have some misunderstanding, Judy explained the cause and effect in one breath.

"After I learned from her that you were her classmate, I felt that her identity was much better than the one I had prepared before. After all, you are classmates, so even if you go to the prom together, it won't arouse much suspicion. ”

"I see...... Abner nodded, then asked again, "and how did Susan get involved?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it. Not long after I moved into her house disguised as Roman, this Miss Susan came to the door on her own initiative, and seemed to have been tortured by etiquette teaching for too long...... I can't just talk about my fiancé's betrayal and change the subject, who wants to be pulled to you by her indignant her......" Judy sighed and continued, "Originally, I wanted to personally help Roman investigate the possible problems of her betrothed partner, as compensation for temporarily occupying her identity. ”

"But now, it's up to you."
