Chapter 311: Analysis
Captain, thank you for your previous demonstration......
Crane showed an exaggerated smile, glad that he did not let his guard down, and kept the "filthy words" charm containing the "True Creator Large-scale Preaching" in the palm of his hand, so that he could activate the charm when his thoughts were sluggish and his movements were slow, and he made indiscriminate "whispering" attacks, and took the lead in regaining his ability to act by virtue of the advantage of "doing similar deaths" in the past, and successfully killed the enemy.
When he came back to his senses, Klein found that the bodyguard lady in a black Gothic court dress he had hired for 1,000 pounds had slowly stopped screaming, and her tumbling and struggling movements had slowed down, but her skin seemed to be much clearer.
Seeing the flesh and blood still wriggling on Rosago's corpse, he didn't hesitate to take out a homemade "Requiem Charm" to use.
In a calm and peaceful feeling, the corpse finally came to rest.
Seeing such a scene, Klein turned his mind, took out another charm, and recited in a low voice:
"Crimson!"
Then, infusing him with some spirituality, he threw the spell at his bodyguard.
The power that made people sleep rippled, and the woman, who had not yet shaken off the influence of the aftersound, and was in a weakened state, suddenly became quiet and fell asleep.
Crane added another "Sleep Charm" with no peace of mind, afraid that the other party would disturb his next attempt.
After doing this, Crane wasted no time, directly arranged the ritual to summon his own spirit, and then carried the Azk bronze whistle to wrap the remaining spirit of Rosago and entered the gray mist.
Sitting in the seat belonging to the "Fool", Crane saw at a glance that the crimson star symbolizing Mr. "Tower" was expanding and contracting, and it was obvious that the illusory prayer he had heard earlier came from him.
But because Rosago's spirit could dissipate at any time, Klein didn't dare to delay, so he ignored the "message" of "Tower" for the time being, and instead recited the divination sentence first:
"The potion recipe for the 'soothsayer' path."
Soon, Klein, who entered the state of "Dream Divination", saw the scenes one after another, and successfully obtained all the potion recipes for the "Fortune Teller" pathway Sequences 7 to 5.
Is "Joker" followed by "Magician", "Faceling", "Master of Puppets"? If you have to do the math, you can really make a "circus"...... Or is it a group of people......
It turns out that Mr. "Tower"'s "Clown Mask" was made from one of the main materials of "Faceling", "the deformed pituitary gland of the Hunter with a Thousand Faces...... I don't know if there is a way to restore the materials made into items, if there is a way, when you are promoted to "Faceling" in the future, at least one of the main materials will be lost......
There is also the extraordinary characteristics of Rosago, although it has not yet been precipitated, but looking at his appearance before death, you can know that most of it has been polluted by the real creator...... I'm afraid we have to find a way to remove contamination from the characteristics......
Mr. "Tower" may know, but I'm afraid he won't tell me for free...... And I have so little to exchange with him......
In addition, Silver City is located in the "God's Forsaken Land", which is full of polluted monsters, and they must have a way to get rid of the pollution, otherwise the characteristics will only become less and less, and it is impossible to last for thousands of years.
Well, ask them at the next tarot meeting......
Thinking of this, Klein rubbed his aching forehead, and reluctantly spread his spirituality to the crimson star that symbolized the "tower".
ββ¦β¦ Beckron is dead. β
Ignoring the previous honorifics and hearing the sentence he wanted to hear the most, Klein was overjoyed, and Huo Ran relaxed a lot.
This matter is finally, finally over...... He took a breath, exhaled slowly, and then responded to the crimson star, and then returned to the real world.
β¦β¦
In the living room of the Garden Villa at 18 Kings Street, Abner saw an illusory and endless gray mist, and saw a vague figure sitting in the deepest part.
"I see." The familiar and deep voice echoed invisibly in his ears, solemn and eerie, but it was only exchanged for Abner's belly slander: you can really pretend to be ......
Fanny, who was sitting across from him, was talking about her grandfather's identity and duties in the embassy, but when she saw him suddenly lose her mind, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find anything suspicious? β
Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses, he thought about it, bowed his head slightly, and replied thoughtfully: "I have indeed made some discoveries......
Fanny's eyes widened unconsciously, smiled, and said in surprise: "Abner, you really deserve to be a 'hero detective', just listening to my description, you have made a discovery?!" Did you discover the identity of the real murderer? Or is it his means of committing crimes? β
The identity of the real murderer still needs to be discovered? Isn't that me...... As for the means of committing the crime, it is needless to mention......
After complaining a few words in his heart, Abner shook his head with a smile and said unhurriedly:
"It's not that the killer and the methods he used...... It's another thing......
"From what you have described earlier, this case is indeed quite bad for Mr. Surrey...... After all, he was in charge of the embassy's 'guardian ceremony', and now something went wrong and was used by outsiders to assassinate the ambassador...... And he was friendly with the nobility of Rune, and the Rune higher-ups apparently wanted him to succeed him as ambassador...... From ability to motive, he is extremely suspicious of committing a crime......"
When Fanny heard this, her face suddenly collapsed in surprise, and she was about to refute, but she heard Abner's words change sharply and continued, "But that military attache of the Sauron family is even more problematic! β
"Why do you say that?" Fanny's mood was up-and-down by Abner's words, but she couldn't help but ask.
"There are three main problems.
"First, the timing of his suspicion of your grandfather was wrong.
"If you really have any suspicions, you should raise them before examining the Ambassador's body, after all, the autopsy can also be manipulated...... He waited until Mr. Surrey wanted to check the records of the 'Guardian Ritual'...... Of course, this can be explained by the fact that he was panicked by the assassination of the ambassador before, and he didn't think about it until then...... But I still think it's too much of a coincidence.
"Second, his handling was inappropriate...... Normally, even if you are suspicious of your grandfather, you should find more people to check the 'ritual' records with you to prevent him from doing anything else...... However, he reported the matter directly to the Intis side, and following the forces of the Sauron family, he temporarily placed Mr. Surrey under house arrest......
"Thirdly, his behavior is not in line with what he has always performed.
"Listening to what you just introduced, this Mr. Childe of the Sauron family has always been relatively low-key in the embassy, even if his family background is prominent, he does not have any publicity, and he is a person who is easy to ignore......
"But he's so active in this matter, which is obviously a contradiction."
At this point, Abner concluded in the affirmative: "Therefore, this military attache of the Sauron family must have other purposes, which is why he will target your grandfather, Mr. Surrey. β
Although Fanny was unhappy with the child questioning her grandfather, she only thought that he was doing business......
But listening to Abner's analysis, she suddenly realized that there was still a conspiracy hidden in it, so she bit her lip and asked angrily:
"What the hell is his purpose?!"
Although it was a process of backward extrapolation based on the results, Abner had roughly restored Child's motives and means in his mind, so he asked rhetorically:
"You just said that your father is a member of the Intis Congress?"
"Right...... What's wrong? Fanny didn't understand why the topic had come back to her father.
Abner stretched out two fingers and said in a calm tone:
"My guess is that there are two possibilities for his motives.
"One is that Mr. Childe is afraid that he has done something in the 'guardian ceremony' before, and he is afraid of being exposed, so he deliberately questioned your grandfather and made him unable to consult the relevant records for the time being, so as to buy time for him to erase the records himself.
"The second is. The councillors supported by the Sauron family are likely to be your father's political enemies, and they want to create a 'stain' on your grandfather and suppress your father...... So, not long after that Mr. Childe reported it, you came back with news from China...... I'm afraid the Sauron family feels that this is a rare opportunity. β
Although Child's real motive is likely to be the first, he must have taken advantage of the second point in the follow-up to get the support of the Sauron family and take it as the desired result.
Of course, Abner didn't tell Fanny in this last sentence, after all, the information she provided before alone could not accurately deduce that conclusion.
There is even a political dumping involved...... This...... This...... I don't understand!
Fanny suddenly felt more pressure on her body, she thought about it, looked at Abner, the only one who would bring her an answer, and asked again and again, "Childe may have done something to the 'ritual'?" Why did he do that? Could it be that he is the helper of the real murderer? What should I do now? β
Abner shook his head and said meaningfully: "In fact, the real culprit is only related to the attitude of Rune and Intis, who they hope will be...... It has nothing to do with your grandfather......"
"Why do you say that?" Fanny felt that her brain was really not enough, and if Emma was there, she would definitely understand...... It's a pity that she is the daughter of a nobleman of Rune, and it is not appropriate for her to go to her at this time, and she may bring even more trouble to her grandfather.
"Neither Rune nor Intis are prepared for war, so the real culprit can only be some notorious third-party organization...... For example, the 'Aurora Society' that you suspected earlier. Speaking of which, Abner did not continue to sell the guanzi, looked at Miss Fanny, and seriously suggested, "What you should do now is not to entrust me to find the real culprit, but to find someone reliable and with sufficient identity to keep an eye on the core altar of the ritual!"
"Whether that military attache of the Sauron family wants to destroy the evidence or frame your grandfather, he will definitely attack there! As long as the time comes to catch him, the doubts about your grandfather will naturally disappear. β
"I see." Miss Fanny suddenly realized, but then she remembered something, and said in embarrassment, "But where should I go to find someone who is reliable and has sufficient status?" I don't know which military attache can trust ......"
"Hehe, the military attachΓ©s of the embassy must not all be factions of the Sauron family...... As for who can be trusted, and who can be used, you can go to your grandfather and ask if you can't? I'm sure he's still allowed to see you, even though he's under house arrest. Abner pointed with a smile.
Fanny's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she suddenly felt that the dark clouds that lingered in her heart had dissipated for the most part, she looked at Abner in front of her, and praised sincerely: "He is worthy of being the most powerful detective in Beckland, and he can analyze such a complex problem thoroughly in just a few words...... You're amazing! β
After saying that, she got up and gave Abner a hug, and then said solemnly: "After Grandfather gets out of this matter smoothly, I will give you a thank you gift that will satisfy you." β
Then, due to the urgency of the matter, and the fact that the military attache of Childe could do it at any moment, the young lady had to take her leave in a hurry and disappeared into the night.
After he left, Abner took a sip of black tea and thought to himself: Fanny turned out to be the granddaughter of the "astronomer", no wonder she always had extraordinary items for sale......
Moreover, in the case of Intis's internal turmoil, there shouldn't be much energy to find the real culprit, right? Hehe, it seems that this time it is the "Aurora Club" again.
β¦β¦
In a room on the third floor of the Intis Embassy, Mr. Surrey, although under house arrest, was not mistreated, as Abner had expected, so Fanny met him without incident, and relayed to him the analysis she had heard from Abner.
"Sure enough, I'm old, I didn't expect this layer of ......," Mr. Surrey sighed after hearing this, and said helplessly, "What the 'hero detective' guessed is probably true...... Hey, in order to return to the pinnacle of politics, the Sauron family can really use all the means......"
β¦β¦
Meanwhile, in a basement that was as spacious as a temple, Mr. A, dressed in a hooded black robe, sat on his knees in the darkness, whispering something reverently.
In front of him was a statue nearly 3 meters long, and it was a person whose legs were tied with chains, connected to the upside down.
The upside-down hanger had the characteristic vertical eyes of a giant, and his arms were stretched out in a cross.
At this time, a man with a black robe came in and humbly said:
"Mr. A, I've passed the message on."
"Good." Mr. A said without turning his head sideways.
The black-robed man asked suspiciously:
"Why do we really have to admit it when we didn't do it?"
Mr. A buried his head and said indifferently:
"It's not what we do, but we can proclaim our existence!
"You must remember that this is a critical time.
"We're going to mess up the continent, and we're going to try to get the attention of others so we can welcome the Lord's return!
"Hahaha, ahem, ahem......"
Mr. A suddenly laughed, and then coughed violently, coughing so much that he fell to the ground.
"Ahem!"
He coughed up blood-colored shards that squirmed as if they were alive when they landed.
The black-robed man immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.
After a long time, Mr. A finally calmed down.
He crawled forward, his mouth pressed against the ground, and licked all the blood-colored fragments he had just coughed up.
Then he looked at Erin and commanded, "Although we have recognized it, we must not be used for nothing...... Irene, as the Lamb of the Lord, it's time for you to take on some responsibility......"
