Hilston, in a house with stables and garden.

Ziringus, with his distinctive wide chin and dark green eyes, glanced at the unconscious Baron Gramere on the ground, stripped off his clothes, and replaced them with himself.

Immediately afterward, he walked leisurely to the dressing mirror, watching the black glove in his left hand squirm like digestion, and watching many twisted lines emerge on its back.

After a few seconds, Zilingers saw that his nose in the mirror had become firm, his eyebrows had become thin, his cheeks had drooped, and his eyes had turned pale blue, exactly the same as the unconscious Baron Grammel in terms of height, appearance, and temperament.

After looking up and down a few times, Ziringus made a few gestures of the other party's habits, then bent down and twisted the real baron's neck, dragged it aside, and stuffed it into the closet.

"What a hypocritical and stupid aristocrat who made me waste so much time learning the strange pronunciation of certain words and the so-called aristocratic accent......"

Zielingus sneered disdainfully, then dropped a few drops of an amber perfume on his wrist, then wiped it on different parts of his body, and then thought impatiently:

I don't know who collected the information, but I even recorded how long this idiot would wear perfume before attending a banquet...... The collaborator over there wouldn't buy any of his mistresses or head maids, would they?

But I seem to have missed the time indicated in the information...... It doesn't matter, who is bored to care about how long someone wears perfume before attending a banquet? It's all the same brand anyway.

Thinking of this, after instructing his subordinates not to enter his bedroom at will, Zillingers maintained the baron's style, and boarded the carriage accompanied by the butler.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, in the mansion of Duke Negan, a grand ball was underway.

It is divided into two parts, one is the dancing hall, which is located on the ground floor, paved with ornate stone slabs carved with intricate patterns, and in the corner there is an excellent band belonging to the duke, and along the stairs of the hall is the cloister on the second floor, which surrounds the circle, and the guests stand in front of the balustrade with their wine glasses, looking down at the dance below, similar to the fencing activity from the stands, and from time to time a gentleman walks up to the lady or lady and invites them to dance, and if they are allowed to go down the stairs and into the hall.

On the other side of the cloister, not close to the hall, there are doors one after another, and the back is basically the guest lounge.

But behind the opposite door is a corridor flanked by different plaster statues, all of which belonged to the ancestors of the Negan family.

At the end of the way, you will find another part of the ball, which is also a hall with long tables with a variety of food and wine, and another band belonging to the Duke playing melodious and relaxing music for the guests.

In this hall, guests gather in groups of three or five, sitting or standing to exchange various things, and those who want to escape the hustle and bustle for a short time enter the balconies attached to the hall to look out at the scenery in the garden and the red moon in the sky.

Abner was standing on the second floor of the ball hall with a glass of Ormere red wine that was shown to be genuine under the "Pure White Eye" analysis, carefully and covertly observing the guests.

Although this is not a 1286 collector's edition, it is also a high-end product produced around 1330, and the whole bottle is worth around £130.

Normally, Abner would never buy such an expensive red wine to drink, but now that someone has a treat, he naturally enjoys it.

At this moment, he saw a girl with shiny blond hair and a supple cape walking up the stairs after dancing the opening dance.

Her eyes were as green as jewels, and they seemed to hide a whirlpool of sea, making it almost impossible to take her eyes off her gaze.

But what caught Abner's attention was a ring that was inadvertently revealed.

The ring was set with red and black gemstones, with a strange shape and dazzling brilliance, which was the "false rage" he had sold at the tarot meeting before.

This teenage girl is Miss "Justice"? Sure enough, it is "the most dazzling jewel of Beckland"!

Abner secretly exclaimed twice, and then withdrew his gaze. He didn't come here today to meet with "netizens" offline, but to ensure that the "plot" was staged normally, so Miss "Justice", an important "actor" in the incident, did not plan to contact him, lest the "butterfly" have an accident.

On the other hand, Audrey didn't notice Abner's "look", because there were so many gentlemen who looked at her at this time, and even many people were already ready to move and wanted to come and invite them to dance.

It's really boring, but I can't help but participate...... Well, can't they just let me observe there quietly? I have to say that some people have such a rich expression when they dance, and it always reminds me of those courtship animals......

After sighing helplessly, Audrey suddenly had an idea in her heart, and she took two quick steps before the gentlemen's invitations and stepped into the corridor leading to the "restaurant".

At the same time, in a corner of the cloister on the second floor, two young ladies who were not very popular and had no one to dance were chatting against the railing.

One of them was Miss Hazel, who had arrived with Abner, who had been vaguely ostracized by the gentlemen of high society after the events at the headquarters of the Daily Observer, and after so long she had become accustomed to it, and even felt a little more pure, so she was very calm.

And the other is Emma, the youngest daughter of Viscount Horatio, who was disgusted by many people because she had done a lot of outrageous things in the "fraudster" stage, even if she had a strong background, she still had a reputation for having a "weird" personality, and now she is naturally left out in the corner.

However, the two young ladies were not in a mood of frustration, and saw Emma holding a drink and mouthing Nunu in the direction of Abner at the staircase, and said, "You see, Abner seems to be attracted to the 'most dazzling jewel of Beckland'." ”

Hazel glanced at her and said coldly, "What does it matter who he is attracted to me?" ”

"Aren't you on good terms? I've heard that you've also revealed some of my things to him. Emma asked, with a roll of her eyes.

"He cut off my arm...... Can such a relationship be applauded? Hazel puffed out her cheeks ungracefully, and then shot back, "Your conversation has been revolving around him, and your relationship with him is really good, right?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have betrayed me. ”

So you really talked to Abner about me...... I thought it was a casual excuse he made......

Thinking about it, Emma smiled and admitted with a smile that she was not embarrassed on the surface: "I really have a good relationship with him......"

Hearing this, Hazel frowned, thinking to herself that at least two weeks ago, Detective Brian really didn't know Emma, and how long had it been since they became so acquainted? Could it be that all those rumors about Detective Brian are true? He's very attentive and good at pleasing girls?

But he didn't show that at the Harvest Chapel......

Emma, with the insight of a "decryption scholar", easily guessed what Hazel was thinking, and she was amused in her heart, thinking that the other party was so simple and cute, that she understood better than Fanny, and that she had really chosen the wrong path.

……

Abner, who was talked about by the two ladies, was nervous as Audrey walked into the hallway leading to the restaurant, because it meant that the disguise of "Lieutenant General Hurricane" was about to be recognized, and the "plot" was about to begin.

He looked at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the roof, and then at the unsuspecting guests in the ballroom on the first floor.

If everything remained the same, Zilingers would use the "wind blade" to cut the metal chain of the chandelier and create chaos......

If such a heavy chandelier falls down, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of casualties among the people below......

Since you have encountered it, you can do what you can, and you still have to save it.

The principles of behavior that he had set for himself flashed through his mind, and Abner made a decision in his heart.

Although he needs to make sure that the "plot" is staged tonight, saving the people in the dance hall will not have much impact on the "plot".

After a little deliberation, Abner walked to the corner of the cloister with his glass in hand, and came to the two young ladies Emma and Hazel.

"Abner, do you want to invite me to dance?" Emma asked with a smile when she saw him coming.

Abner only greeted her politely, then turned to Hazel and saluted in a standard manner, "Miss Hazel, may I ask you to do a dance?" ”

Hazel glanced at him, was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"It's my pleasure."

She then stretched out her metal palm.

Abner politely grabbed her, walked up the stairs to the first floor, and onto the dance floor, where he danced a light and lively dance to the melody.

Emma, who had been left in the cloister on the second floor, frowned at this time, she could see a hint of something wrong in Abner's attitude, and although the other party did not explicitly indicate it, he finally waved his hand to her covertly when he turned around.

Since coming into contact with the detective, he has rarely been so serious and solemn...... Is there something big going on? Well, anyway, I'll avoid it first...... At this time, the restaurant should be safer!

After making up her mind, Emma ignored the eyes of others, and left the corner in a rage, and walked along the corridor in the direction of the restaurant.

Inside the dance floor, directly below the chandelier in the dome.

Abner glanced at Hazel's soft but expressionless face, and asked solemnly:

"What is the maximum weight of your arm made of ancient alchemy?"
