Chapter 164: Joint Investigation
"The Bloodlines want to invest in me too? Just like when they invested in the Night Emperor in the Fourth Age? But this strength is too small. Why did he support the Night Emperor to support a beautiful queen, and when he came to me, there was only one rough man! ”
Seeing this, the corners of Abner's mouth curved again, and he said in his heart: Viscount Karen, you are disgusted by the Emperor, do you know?
Bishop Utrawski had already put down the slip at this time and said with a smile: "You can tell Skader that the expenses within this budget can be directly credited to the account of the Harvest Church." ”
Abner came to his senses and put the pages of his journal back on the pulpit before he replied, "I will pass it on." ”
With that, he looked at the manuscripts again and asked the bishop, "Miss Hazel must have confirmed that there is no contamination from the 'primordial moon', right?" Why is she still being held? ”
At the end of the banquet that day, Councillor Makht quietly stuffed him with 100 pounds as a gift of thanks for the successful introduction of the bishops. For the sake of money, he asked Hazel a little more.
"It's not a good time...... If Miss Hazel is released directly, the Storm Church will probably not agree......" Bishop Utravsky shook his head and explained gently.
Also right...... The Storm Church suffered such a big loss before, and it was when it was not going well, and if it was to see Hazel being released so easily, I am afraid that it would be extraordinary.
Abner immediately came to his senses, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Councillor Makht had not asked the Bishop to let Hazel go home, and he, as a politician, had seen this a long time ago......
In this case, Abner did not have much to do, and after a while of communication with the Half-Giant Bishop, he took his leave.
However, he left the Harvest Church and only walked out of the intersection to see Ms. Cherie standing on the side of the road in a black mourning dress.
The other party's eyes lit up when he saw him, and then he walked straight over.
"What's the matter, Ms. Cherry?" Abner asked, confused. He doesn't seem to have much of a relationship with this girl, does he? Is it still for Hugh?
"Detective Bryan, it was Ms. Daly who asked me to give you this letter." Cherie took out a folded piece of letter and handed it to Abner.
Abner took it casually, asked Cherie with his eyes, and after getting an affirmative answer from the other party, he began to read.
The letter was not very much, but it was to the effect that he was invited to dinner at six o'clock tomorrow evening at Sever's restaurant in Kent Street, North End, and that His Excellency the "Goddess's Sword" would also be present......
The handwriting on the letter was not dry, and it was evident that it had just been written...... Is this a temporary idea? But can Dali be the master of Secima?
Thinking so in his heart, Abner asked casually, "Why isn't Ms. Dali here?" ”
"Madam really has something urgent to do, that's why she asked me to wait for you here." Cherie replied.
……
North of Beckland, in the basement room of St. Samuel's Church.
"The penislator is going to send a deacon to Tingen? Would you like me to come over for help? There was a hint of surprise on Dai Li's bewitching and cold face.
"Yes, the Storm Church lost a Wind Favorer in a previous incident, which caused the wrath of the Thunder Church to bring in an elite who is good at tracking trails. Since it is suspected that it was the 'secret puppet master', the focus of the investigation is now on the 'Esoteric Society'. Crestai Cessima, who was seated in the main seat, spoke in a deep voice.
"The last time there was a clear trace of the Esoteric Order's activities was Tingen, or was it cracked by Tingen's 'Night Watch' team, so the Storm Church went there to investigate?" Because of her close attention to Dunn, Dali was well aware of every case of the "Night Watchman" team in Tingen, and was naturally no stranger to the activities of the Tantric Society in Tingen.
"That's right, but it's not possible for the deacons of the Storm Church to go directly to the night watchman team in Tingen to retrieve information or even interrogate captured Esoteric members...... Therefore, it is necessary to use the name of 'joint investigation'. Sesima said thoughtfully.
"And because I'm familiar with the Tingen Nightwatcher team, as a member of the 'Joint Investigation' team, can I provide sufficient lubrication for communication between the two sides?" Dali quipped with a smile.
"I really don't want you to ......go if it weren't for helping you," Sesima sighed.
"Thank you." Dai Li said sincerely, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Next Wednesday or Thursday, depending on when the deacon from the Storm Church arrives." Sesima replied.
"That's right...... Luckily, it didn't delay my appointment for tomorrow night. Dai Li said with a chuckle.
……
On Monday morning, because he was going to attend the tarot meeting in the afternoon, Abner sorted out in his room the materials he had promised to give to Mr. "The Fool" last week.
"I don't know much about the Tantric Order...... But the contents of Zarathu's related information will not be given to Klein for now, and only some information will be revealed that can be obtained with a little access, such as the fact that his headquarters is in Intis...... In addition, it is possible to give the news to Klein that Ambassador Intis has the secret puppet master of the Esoteric Society by his side, so that he can be mentally prepared for future encounters.
"Hmm...... The Master of the Secret Puppet also crossed out, only saying that it was the one with an extraordinary sequence in the soothsayer's path.
"As for the Antigonus family, I can reveal more...... Only tell him that this family is a prominent nobleman of the Fourth Age, and has the complete formula for the potion of the 'soothsayer' sequence...... That's pretty much enough, any more involves a deeper level of historical knowledge, and even if it is said, I'm afraid Klein won't understand it. ”
I read the information I had compiled a few times and memorized it completely, and then I lit a fire and burned it.
Although it is okay to give these materials to Mr. "Fool" through "sacrifice", but now "Fool" still needs to "charge" to open the gate of the kingdom, and it is really not cost-effective to consume nearly 10 pounds of materials for this little thing, so it is better to write it down and manifest it on the gray mist.
……
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Abner, whose gaze had recovered from crimson and hazy, once again came to the infinite gray fog that did not belong to reality, and then he saw "Just" Audrey half-rise, lift the hem of her skirt, and greet cheerfully:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~~
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hangman~
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tower~"
After the greetings, Klein, who had turned on his vision early, noticed that Miss "Justice" seemed to be very excited, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is this something happy to happen?
Audrey puffed up her chest at this time and said proudly:
"Mr. 'Fool', I have memorized two more pages of Russell's diary."
Abner smiled when he heard this, and was not surprised that Audrey was able to produce the diary, because it was passed on by Hugh, because Hugh had made a small profit.
However, he also spoke at this time: "I have also obtained a page of the diary again, Mr. 'Fool'. ”
