Chapter 220: Reasoning and Speculation

Of course, Abner couldn't have told Foirth the truth behind this, so he picked up the information and "reasoned" about it:

"Because the features are too obvious...... Look here, 'The subject has a paranoid love of the wind and is a veteran sailor', which clearly tells me that the person you are looking for is an extraordinary person in the 'sailor' path, and the sequence is not too low, otherwise you and Hugh will not behave so solemnly!

"Look at this sentence again, 'The target is a mentally ill serial killer who murders a living person every other day'...... This, in turn, suggests that the Sailor Path's Extraordinaire may have an extraordinary item in his possession that requires human sacrifice to suppress the negative effects.

"Finally, the page you took away on purpose, I guess it's the specific information of the person you're looking for, and even his portrait...... I don't know why you didn't show me that page, but it's clear that you think I'll probably recognize him immediately if I see it.

"To sum up, this person is a mid-to-high-level powerhouse of the 'Sailor' path, and he has a powerful seal in his hand that needs to be sacrificed by a living person, and he should have come to Beckland not long ago, and he has a great reputation......

"Although there are many people who meet these conditions, I only know one who needs to hide their identities and hide, and that is 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' Ziringers."

When Furth heard this reasoning, her face suddenly showed admiration, and she applauded and exclaimed, "Abner, you are so good at reasoning! I'm going to adapt the paragraph you just said and write it in! ”

Hugh said expressionlessly, "That's not what you said before you left...... You said that Abner's reputation as a 'heroic detective' is mostly coincidental, and I don't know how to reason about it, so I have to test it first. ”

Furth spread his hands innocently and replied, "Didn't you acquiesce?" ”

I deliberately didn't give me that page to test my reasoning skills...... Oh, I'm glad I was able to cheat.

Abner secretly laughed at himself, and then deliberately joked: "After the prize, my reasoning ability is on the same level as your 'evil spirit', and even the 1.65-meter-tall and 98-pound Ms. Sissi can't compare." Not to mention the one who created her. ”

Furth was choked speechless by these words, and only felt that Abner seemed to be very stingy today.

In fact, since he had not slept during the expedition the night before, and had been on guard all night last night for fear that MI9 would investigate the truth in a dream, Abner was already quite tired at this time.

In addition, in front of Hugh and Furth, he was mentally relaxed and unguarded, which inevitably revealed some temperament that would not be exposed on weekdays.

Hugh sighed at the boyish performance of the two friends, and once again she felt that her friend seemed to be reliable only in business, and in private.

In order to get back to the topic, she had to show her "majesty" to make the two friends serious again, and then she spoke:

"Abner, do you speculate that Ziringus would live somewhere in Beckland?"

Abner nodded, Hugh and Furth had already provided so much detail that he didn't even have to recall the original book to roughly guess where Chillingers would choose to live.

"The pirate general is not short of money, and he certainly won't be wronged, and he must live in the airier suburbs of Queens, the West End, the Hillston, the Joewood, or the North End.

"However, as a 'sailor', he will not be too far from Tassok, and should choose a house near the riverbank.

"Moreover, the extraordinary object in his hand is called 'Wriggling Hunger,' and the corresponding ability of the 'Shepherd' path, but eats one person every other day...... Therefore, the place where he lives must also be close to the East District or Bridge District, where the missing population will not attract much attention. ”

As soon as he said this, Furth answered thoughtfully: "So it is very likely that he lives on the banks of the Tasock River in the West End or the Jowood District?" Because it's closer to the bridge area? ”

"That's right!" Abner nodded, then he looked at the two girls with excitement in their eyes, and said thoughtfully:

"I don't know who told you to find Ziringus, but I hope you don't get involved personally, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to escape if you do meet that 'Lieutenant General of the Hurricane'."

Hugh retracted her smile when she heard this, she had always trusted Abner very much, and when she saw him solemnly, she couldn't help but ask, "Is Zilingers really that terrible?" He seems to be just the 'Wind Favorer' in Sequence 6......"

"What do you think of the 10,000-pound bounty for the pirate?" Abner shook his head at first, and then said with a serious expression:

"You have also seen the strength of the 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell, although Ziringus is inferior to him, but since he is a pirate general with the same name as him for a long time, how can it be described as a simple 'Wind Favorite'?"

Hugh remembered the naval battle he had watched that night, and nodded solemnly.

"So...... Miss Audrey's commission, are we not going to care? At this time, Furth interjected from the side.

She was not afraid to mention the "most dazzling jewel of Beckland" in front of Abner, after all, it was Abner's idea that she and Hugh could come into contact with the young lady.

Hugh was also a little hesitant, she still owed Abner the money for the materials of the "Inquisitor", and Miss Audrey was very generous, and she did not want to give up the commission.

After all, although Ziringus is powerful, she is not going to capture or kill the other party, but just to explore the traces of the other party, and the risk is still within the range of tolerance.

Looking at Hugh's somewhat tangled expression, Abner could roughly guess what she was thinking, so he sighed and said meaningfully:

"I mean, you don't have to find out for yourself, not to say you should give up that young lady's commission."

Hearing this, Furth's heart moved, and he asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Zielingers wanted to feed the 'wriggling hunger' and most likely targeted the homeless people in the East End. After all, in Beckland, even the police can't figure out how many homeless people exist......

"And the Eastern District is the 'jurisdiction' before Hugh, which should have been reported in MI9......"

When Hugh heard this, he suddenly said: "Your consciousness is to report some clues and use the power of MI9 to investigate Ziringus?" ”

"That's right." Abner nodded and continued, "Since you are a secret agent under MI9, it makes perfect sense to report it after discovering the power of 'degenerate' and 'evil'. ”

The main thing is that it does not arouse the suspicion of the unspeakable organization.

And MI9 should now be concentrating on the search for the whereabouts of "1-025", the seal that was "possessed" by the Baron at this time......

So, after receiving the news that the "degenerate" aura has appeared in the Eastern District, will the military not go to a closer look?

If the military really does nothing about it...... Hehe, it will be clearer who is from that organization at that time, right?

I always feel that there are people behind this who are calculating, after all, the several "possession" escapes of "1-025" are too coincidental.

I guess even if Hugh doesn't report it, someone will inevitably send the relevant information to MI9.

……

At ten o'clock on Monday morning, Abner, who had rarely slept lazily, rubbed his still dizzy head and got out of bed with difficulty.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back to sleep, but Mr. Scudder has woken him up once before, and brought the news of Miss Fanny's imminent visit.

Sending someone to notify you before a formal visit is also a form of social etiquette.

After washing, Abner dressed appropriately, and waited about ten minutes before Miss Fanny's carriage slowly drove into the garden of the villa.

After welcoming the young lady with the suitcase into the drawing-room, the two sent away their servants, and Abner looked at Fanny, who was sitting opposite him, and asked:

"Miss Fanny, is there any news about that extraordinary item of the guardian type?"

Miss Fanny smiled and nodded, lifted the suitcase at her feet and laid it flat on her slender thigh, and then unbuttoned it with a snap.

It was only when the young lady opened the suitcase and turned the side of her opening to Abner that the latter could see what was inside:

It was a piece of leather armor with a cold glow.
