Chapter 42: Vicente Poirot

The carriage managed to leave the manor in the end.

Soon after the coachman drove out of the iron gate of the manor, there was a loud roar in the night, and Agnes casually drew the curtains, and through the gray mist, she could vaguely see that the walls of the rooms on the high part of the manor house had been blown to pieces, and the dazzling fire was burning there.

The chaotic wails, screams, and quarrels of the people came from the thick fog, and Agnes could vaguely imagine people rushing out of their houses in rags.

"Who did this, it's really arrogant." Agnes asked casually with a hook at the corners of her mouth.

"The high room is where Bonnard often stays." Bernie said.

"Ah, that's a big stab, but how do you know that so clearly?" Agnes said in an exaggerated tone.

"Sir, shall we continue walking?" The coachman's voice sounded outside.

Agnes looked at Bernie with a grin and didn't speak.

"Of course, what happened there has nothing to do with us." Bernie's voice said coldly.

Agnes smiled and lowered the curtains, which obscured everything that was happening outside.

......

What happened in the manor today was quite a big move, but most of the people present were high-society figures, and the purpose of going there was not very glamorous.

Agnes stared out the window at the deserted street, her eyes thoughtful. It was difficult for her to predict what would happen in the newspapers tomorrow, but Agnes believed that part of the truth would be hidden, at least the fact that many people had been there.

But the casualties in this incident cannot be faked, and in any case, it will be classified as an extremely bad incident, depending on who will take the blame.

Sorting out what happened today, the original purpose of this ball was to trade some smuggled goods, and it was also nested with extraordinary parties.

And what I saw there today actually had a lot of doubts.

As a place where there was an underground trade fair for the upper class, it was not surprising to see gamblers there, and it was not surprising to meet people who used gambling to launder money, but it was not surprising to see the woman who was addicted to gambling and owed a huge amount of gambling money, but still stayed there by that means......

How can a woman who owes a huge amount of gambling money stay there? Is it because she has strong assets and is not bankrupt yet?

But if that's the case, it won't be said that she "owes a huge amount of gambling money"; Looking at that scene as well, the people at the table didn't respect her very much.

So what is she there for? This is where the first one is problematic.

And the second problematic place, the strange young man and woman on the dance floor, who are they obviously looking for there? Does it have anything to do with what happened today?

The third problematic place, the gunshot with a silencer that I heard in the corridor, since the silencer was installed, it was obvious that I didn't want others to find out, and the gunshot only rang out once during that time, it seems that the other party achieved its goal, is this gunshot related to the explosion afterward?

Moreover, As the owner of the estate, is Bonnard still alive? Why did the explosion happen in the place where he frequented?

And the most important question - is this accident related to extraordinary power?

To be honest, the accident didn't have much to do with Agnes, but Agnes always had a strange feeling, starting when she walked into the manor's house.

In that manor, both the smell and the scene made Agnes feel uncomfortable, and it was hard to describe.

If she were a little more heavy, Agnes felt that she could describe it in one sentence - like walking into a laboratory that had just done experiments on ornithine and arginine decarboxylation.

Agnes wasn't disgusted, she just felt that everything there seemed to be some kind of restlessness in people—and that restlessness was absolutely harmful.

And in the same way, she has a hunch that this matter is not over yet, and she definitely has met someone related to this matter.

Agnes opened her journal and recorded her feelings. Then she put away the suitcase from Bernie and the long skirt she had changed into as soon as she got out of the carriage.

She thought about it, and after saying goodnight to Mi Luo through contact, she lay down on the bed.

......

Agnes walked into the police hall carrying two bounty targets for the Brotherhood of Ster, which she had chosen today.

The atmosphere at the National Police Agency today is much more serious, and the uniformed police officers come in and out, and their faces don't look very good.

Knowing why they were doing this, Agnes walked to Officer Harriman's office without any change in her countenance.

"It's just speculation." It was a young man's voice that she hadn't heard in the police station.

"What speculation?" Officer Harriman's voice seemed to have a hint of impatience in his voice.

Agnes threw the two to the ground and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she looked at the young man talking to Officer Harriman.

He had gray eyes, brown hair, and deep features, and he was the young man of the strange pair of men and women he had seen on the dance floor of the manor yesterday, his neck was exposed, his left hand was wrapped in gauze, and there were several abrasions on his face, and it looked like he was seriously injured yesterday.

But the image he saw now was very different from what he saw yesterday, he was now spitting a cigarette in his mouth, and there was a little excitement in his eyes, and he didn't speak again when he saw Agnes come in, but looked Agnes up and down with some interest.

Ignoring the young man's gaze, Agnes said straight to Officer Harriman, "I just happened to meet them, so I sent them here." ”

Officer Harriman opened the bag first, checked the condition of the two men, and wrote a check to Agnes.

The young man got up at some point and walked to the woven bag, flipping the two of them with a cigarette in his mouth.

"There were no scars from the fight, and it was a blow to the back of the head that caused them to be unconscious. If it's the two of them and you're going to knock them down at the same time, it means that you're ...... fighting compared to them."

"Now that they're here, and not that I'm being sent to Yate Street by them, isn't it obvious that I'm stronger than them?" Agnes interrupted the young man with a smile.

The young man paused, the corners of his mouth widened, and he said with a smile: "That's right, it's indeed an obvious thing. ”

"Vicente Poirot, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ella Poyesia." The young man stretched out his right hand and looked at Agnes with a smile.
