"But now, it's up to you." Judy spread her hands, since Susan pulled her to find Abner, and the other party agreed to start the investigation, then she didn't have to do much, so as not to show the flaws in the character she played.

"You just said that there could be a problem, what is going on?" Abner asked, frowning.

Speaking of which, Roman's betrothed partner was originally known to Abner, although he was not very familiar with him and did not announce his name, but he also had a nodding acquaintance when they got together at a party.

In the impression of the original owner, because he was born in a side branch of an aristocratic family, and his parents also held a lot of shares in several steam machinery factories, Roman's engagement partner was a rather arrogant person, but his temperament was not bad, and he was also very polite to Roman and her friends, so the reputation was not bad, and many female classmates were envious of Roman.

"Actually, the story is very simple, your classmate Roman has been aware of the estrangement of her fiancé Alex these days, and he has been very worried. By chance, she saw Mr. Alex being courteous to a lady, so she couldn't help but come forward to theorize.

How could she have thought that such an act not only did not get the due apology, but was also reprimanded by her fiancé.

Miss Roman had been reprimanded by her father because of the school club, and now she was reprimanded by someone she liked, and she jumped into the river when she couldn't think about it......

"Although empathy is normal, I can see from Miss Roman's description of her fiancé that Mr. Alex was a very self-disciplined person who was very good at controlling his emotions, and he was arrogant but polite to everyone.

Such a person, even if he particularly likes his lover, should not embarrass his fiancée so much in public.

"One person's transformation is so huge, I have to wonder what's wrong behind it."

After listening to Judy's analysis, Abner nodded thoughtfully, and added to the other party's words:

"So, it's either that Alec wants to plot something against that lady, or that lady has a problem with herself, which affects Alec."

"I think so too...... And according to my experience in handling cases in the past, such situations are often problematic for both parties! Judy reminded her seriously before she smiled again and said playfully, "Okay, that's all I know, and the rest depends on your ability, Mr. Detective." ”

I always feel that the words "detective" and "hero" that come out of the mouths of those of you who know the inside story are mocking me......

Abner complained secretly, but with a serious expression on his face, he asked solemnly: "Then madam, let me confirm one last time, do you really have the intention to entrust me with the truth behind the Alec incident?" ”

The person who acquires the knowledge he has painstakingly acquired must also have the will to acquire that knowledge.

This is the newly summed up "Keeper of Knowledge" to play the code after he has been hiding from reporters in the office for a few days and dealing with a few minor troubles of servants.

That is to say, someone must first express his will to him because he is eager to obtain a certain "knowledge", and then he will inform the other party of the corresponding "knowledge" obtained through exploration, so that this "knowledge" has the opportunity to spread and use, and will never be easily lost or cut off, which is a relatively complete "knowledge keeper" role.

Although Judy didn't know what this meant, she saw Abner's serious expression, she also smiled, and said seriously: "I do have the desire to know the truth. ”

"Then, I will take this commission, and I will bring the truth to you as soon as possible, and also to Roman." When Abner said this, he suddenly saw the girl in front of him pluck a few hairs that were as yellow as hay from his head and handed them over, so he asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

"It's paid to you upfront. Don't underestimate them, each of them can poison an adult curly-haired baboon in a matter of seconds. Judy explained with a grin.

Hearing this, Abner's fingers, which were about to touch his hair, paused suddenly.

"Haha, don't worry. They are toxic only when mixed with alcohol and are generally safe. If you want to plot against anyone, grind them into powder and blend them into beer, I promise they are colorless and tasteless, and even demigods will be hard to detect...... Well, my father has been tricked by me a few times. Judy said as if she was remembering something interesting.

So being your father is a high-risk occupation...... At least more resistant to toxicity than curly-haired baboons......

Abner complained a few words in his heart, and secretly analyzed the hairs with his "pure white eyes", and after roughly counting their effects, he took them with his hands and carefully put them away.

"By the way, after all, they were made by me with extraordinary abilities, and their power will gradually drain after leaving me...... In short, the toxic effect will slowly decrease after three months, and it will be completely ineffective in about half a year. Judy saw Abner put away her hair, and then added.

"I see." Abner nodded, something he already knew when he analyzed it.

After talking about the commission, Abner asked about Roman's former classmate.

"Well, although the bishop's patient persuasion had eased the girl's emotions, I could still perceive the pain and negativity in her heart. That's why she didn't hesitate to agree as soon as I asked to live in her place for a few days...... She's escaping reality. Judy sighed.

It seems that Roman has a deep affection for her fiancé...... Whatever the reason for that Alec, it was too much to treat his fiancée who liked him wholeheartedly!

As Abner thought so, he heard Judy say again:

"I hope Miss Roman will get out of this relationship, his fiancé may have what it takes to be a successful businessman or a politician, but he is by no means a good match for a lady."

Abner didn't want to go deeper on this topic, after all, he didn't have much emotional experience and really didn't have the right to speak, so he changed the topic and said: "After you use Roman's identity, have you thought about how to deal with the aftermath?" Will it cause her trouble? ”

"She's innocent, isn't she? Officials don't do anything to the real innocents. Judy blinked, and continued, "Besides, according to our arrangement, there will be no problem with Roman's identity being exposed. After all, the Roman I pretended to be entered the ball hall by relying on your connections, and if I am suspected, you will not be able to get out of it. ”

That's why I'm worried about that...... Now that you have the arrangement, you can feel a little more at ease...... However, it is still necessary to plan the escape in advance, so as not to have a backup plan if something really goes wrong.

Abner had a certain trust in Bishop Utravsky and the "desolates", but this trust did not reach the level of unreserved peace and Hugh in any way, so the necessary preparation was needed.

The same is true for the other party, otherwise he would not have told him a specific plan...... Of course, this may also be protecting him, after all, the less you know, the easier it is to get away with it afterwards.

After that, the two lifted the spiritual blockade, and deliberately talked and laughed in the tone of classmates, deepening the appearance of "the two have a good relationship", paving the way for taking "Roman" to the dance party on Friday.

Although no one has seen their performance so far, if there is a "detective" to "backtrack" afterwards, it can be misleading.

After the two walked out of the room laughing, Susan stepped forward with some confusion and asked, "When did you get along so well?" ”

"It was Roman who was in a bad mood, and I made jokes to make her happy......" Abner explained after a moment's thought.

"What joke? I've comforted Roman for a long time, but I didn't succeed, Abner, you're really capable. Susan's eyes sparkled and she asked curiously.

"It's a story of a curly-haired baboon...... One day the baboon's child plucked its curly fur on its back, grated it, mixed it into the fruit and ate it......"

Abner didn't think of any funny jokes for a while, so he could only make up nonsense.

Judy on the side is a little dazed, how does this story sound familiar?

……

In the folkloric herb shop on Leleiden Street in the Jowood district, Alec, dressed as a successful person, watched the fat pharmacist who looked like a village witch doctor in front of him add several strange herbal powders to glass bottles, and then dripped a few drops of rooster blood, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his black eyes were full of suspicion.

After stirring evenly and heating and boiling, the pharmacist turned his head to look at the big customer in front of him who had been introduced by someone else, and wrote with a pen on a piece of paper: "Go back and let the patient drink it as soon as possible, according to the situation you described, and the toxic specimen provided, this medicine should be able to make the patient recover about 30%." ”

Then, as if he wanted to write something more, he seemed to find it inconvenient to use a pen, so he sighed.

"Does this really work?" Alec still didn't believe it, but since it was the lady who ordered it, he still didn't question it directly. It's just that a pharmacist who can't even cure his own vocal cords can really make a medicine that is useful for that powerful lady?

Of course, believe it or not, he painfully took out the cash of 20 gold pounds and handed it to the pharmacist in front of him, and then carefully picked up the glass bottle, went out of the store, and boarded the taxi that had been waiting on the side of the road.

When he was seated, the coachman drove the carriage slowly.

Inside the car, Alec held a glass bottle and subconsciously looked at the pedestrians outside through the window. Suddenly, his spirit moved, and he saw a "man" with an ordinary face but a very delicate appearance walking from the other side of the road, and met his gaze for a moment.

"Look at the shape of the face...... It's supposed to be a girl in men's clothes......" Alec habitually judged and stopped paying attention to it.

In this era, there are many people who disguise themselves as men to work. Moreover, it is not uncommon for some young ladies from rich families to sneak out to play, and most of them are dressed up in this not very successful disguise.
