Chapter 219: Follow-up and Entrustment
Emma was startled when she heard her full name called, and she hurriedly turned around to look at the source of the voice, and found that it was Viscount Leerson's youngest son, Cons, who had called her.
is also a child of a noble family, and the age is about the same, and she intersects a lot in various banquets and dances on weekdays, so she naturally knows each other.
However, according to Emma, after graduating from the University of Tingen, Conse entered MI9 and has since become mysterious......
Wait a minute? MI9? Now that Cons is here, the atmosphere in the town is wrong because of this intelligence organization of the military?
Thinking so in her heart, Emma turned her eyes and smiled, and said with some disgust: "Cons, you scared me. ”
"I'm sorry, Miss Emma." The tall and lanky young gentleman, Conse, first apologized politely before repeating the previous question, "How did you come to this remote town?" ”
This kind of attitude is a bit interrogatory...... Although the wording is polite......
Could it be that the military also found out about the "Kangwa" baron? Or did "1-025" possess the baron and provoke another egg in Beckland?
Tsk, fortunately, I secretly went there at night when I inquired about Baron Conva's information, and I didn't leave a record on the surface...... Moreover, the entrance was hidden, and Abner later buried it again and swept up the traces.
Without knowing the exact location, even MI9 is difficult to find in a short period of time......
In a flash of thought, Emma deliberately showed a dissatisfied expression, her long, straight eyebrows were twisted together, and she hummed, "Hmph, I came to participate in the camp of the public school at the invitation of Detective Brian...... How? You MI9 even have to take care of this? ”
She didn't say that she was invited by Atru, after all, the other party was just the son of a jewelry merchant, and even if she had a "weird" label on her head, it seemed too strange to agree to an ordinary person's invitation so abruptly.
Detective Brian is different, his fame has been very loud recently, and his experience is legendary enough, and he is the daily conversation of many aristocratic girls.
I had heard that Detective Bryan would be involved in the camp, and out of curiosity and longing for him, it was perfectly reasonable to accept the invitation to join in.
Even if MI9 finds out that it was actually Atru's invitation in the future, he will no longer suspect anything, and will only think that he was being used.
"Detective Brian? Abner Blaine? 'Hero Detective'? Constance was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the men present, and quickly locked onto Abner.
Abner saw that the visitor mentioned himself. He took off the duckbill hat on his head, bowed slightly, saluted, and said with a smile: "I am Abner Bryan...... Nice to meet you, don't know what to call it? ”
Constance Lierson...... Hello, Detective Bryan. Conse nodded, and replied succinctly.
After figuring out the purpose of the group's visit to the small town of Kangwa, Cons didn't bother much, let them go back to the inn, and only secretly lowered his voice to remind Emma:
"Beware of this 'Hero Detective', his reputation doesn't seem to be good...... Moreover, he is rumored to be close to a well-known bounty hunter in the East End. ”
Emma secretly snickered when she heard this, and then pretended not to believe it, and said half-truthfully: "That's all tabloid nonsense, Abner is not like that." ”
I say "true" because after more than a day of contact, Emma has long seen that Abner is not a playboy, but an unexpectedly gentleman. And he also has a lot of respect for women, and this respect is not superficial, but sincere, and he genuinely treats them as equal partners.
Saying "fake" is that she thinks that those "tabloids" may not be completely nonsense, and she knows that he is actually very likable by looking at the attitudes of his two female classmates...... And he doesn't seem to be able to grasp the distance between him and the lady, so he will cause some misunderstandings......
Well, perhaps it is precisely because he puts ladies on an equal footing that some ceremonial details are overlooked.
Just as Emma's thoughts were flying, Cons sighed and didn't persuade him anymore, he didn't have too deep a friendship with the other party, since he didn't believe it, forget it.
However, it is still necessary to find out the cause of the camping at the public school......
After seeing Conse turn to leave, everyone did not delay any longer, and after a brief dinner, they returned to their rooms.
……
At night, inside a relatively elegant villa outside the town.
Cons handed the paperwork to a man in a golden mask and reported:
"Your Excellency, I have screened the people who have visited the town of Cons in the recent past, and have found no suspicious persons."
The masked man nodded noncommittally, then picked up the information and read it carefully, page by page, before pointing to the contents of one of the pages and asking, "What's going on with this public school's camping?" ”
Cons had guessed that his boss would ask this, and explained with preparation:
"Detective Bryan himself is a recent graduate of the school, and Miss Emma and Miss Fanny are curious about the 'Hero Detective' and have volunteered to join the camp.
Moreover, their camping was not an impromptu decision, but had been prepared a week or two earlier, only to be postponed because of the heavy rainstorms last weekend...... At that time, '1-025' should not have been 'possessed'.
"So, I don't think there's a problem with their camping."
The masked man lowered his head and thought for a while before bowing his head slightly and said, "That's true...... The surveillance of them can be revoked, we have limited manpower and cannot waste it on unrelated people, and finding the ruins of Baron Conwal's castle as soon as possible is the top priority at the moment. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Conse first responded, and then said with some hesitation: "However, we only have a few pictures of the interior of the ruins...... It's completely impossible to tell where it is......"
"Hehe, I know what you're thinking, but these 'interior scene drawings' were all 'sacrificed' by a Storm Church deacon...... Therefore, there is no possibility of more information for the time being. The masked man recalled the "tragic" scene that had happened on the factory floor before, and even a person of a determined mind like him couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Conse, however, was in awe and sighed, "Sacrificing oneself in order to obtain important information...... What a respectable 'Guardian'...... If I face a desperate situation in the future, I hope that the sacrifice will be so worthwhile. ”
Hearing this, the masked man glanced up at him, and asked in an inexplicable tone, "Are you sure?" ”
"I can make a vow about it!" Conse replied without hesitation.
……
Early on Sunday morning, the group returned to Beckland in a horse-drawn carriage after a hasty end of camping due to the weather.
Both Susan and Roman were a little unhappy because they had never found a chance to speak alone with Abner.
Susan, in particular, was eager to ask Abner about the Extraordinary after hearing about the Extraordinary from Roman, but she couldn't.
At noon, Abner returned to the Garden House on Kingst Street, in the district of Jowood, somewhat wearily, and before he could catch up on his sleep, Mr. Scudder, who was the guest butler, knocked on the door to report that Hugh and Forth had come to visit, and were already waiting in the drawing-room.
Hugh will actually go to the main gate this time? Oh yes, she's still with Furth, so she shouldn't be able to climb straight to the third floor......
Abner complained in his heart, and then changed his clothes unhurriedly, and then went downstairs to the meeting room.
"Abner, we've got you for help." Hugh was not polite to Abner, and spoke directly about his request.
"What's the matter?" Abner asked, though he had some speculation in his mind, pretending to be curious.
At this time, Foirth deliberately pulled out a page of information from the document bag in his hand, handed the rest to Abner, and smiled slyly:
"We want you to find out from the data the pattern of the target's behavior in Beckland."
Abner took a deep look at her, took the file bag, and pulled out the materials inside.
After only a few glances, Abner smiled "hehe" and pretended to be surprised:
"Ziringers has come to Beckland?"
"How do you know?" This time it was Forth's turn to be surprised, because the page she pulled out was exactly the specific introduction and portrait of Ziringers.
I don't know? I was there when the "Hanged Man" commissioned this task at the Tarot meeting!
