Chapter 144 Inquire about clues
Lance and Eve flew back to Idris without stopping, and as soon as the four-clawed eagle landed in Idris's nest, Eve and Lance ran to the library and archives. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Eve sprang and said, "You mean Samuel sent a 'blood drink' assassin to assassinate my sister?"
"That's right!" Lance nodded, "I don't know how they found out about Princess Isabella's whereabouts." ”
"Could it be that Anvier also revealed them to Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hills?"
Lance shook his head and said, "No way, Anvier and we are a community of interests. Betraying Isabella didn't do her any good. I can't do that much now. You can only take one step at a time. First of all, I will check your sister's maids, they must know a lot. ”
Eve said as she ran, "My sister has changed several maids, and I don't remember who my maids were at that time. Let's go to the archives and find clues. ”
Lance replied, "Okay, only by figuring out the ins and outs of your sister's elopement will we have a chance to find a breakthrough." ”
At this time, Lance and Eve ran all the way into the library, and an old man with white hair and a gray robe was writing something on the table at the door.
When he heard the sound of violent footsteps, the old man's brow furrowed. He lowered his crystal-made eyes and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
The old man wanted to reprimand this daredevil, but when he saw Eve, he asked in surprise, "Your Royal Highness Second Princess, why did you come to the library?"
Eve rushed to the old man and asked hurriedly, "Curator Camille, where is the castle servant's file three years ago?"
The old man named Camille pointed in one direction with a puzzled face and said, "Over there." No. 28, 5th Floor, Cabinet C, West District. ”
As soon as Eve heard this, she and Lance rushed in the direction that Director Camille was pointing at.
"Your Royal Highness Second Princess!" Although Director Camille called Eve, Eve didn't pay attention to him at all.
When Lance and Eve found the book, they hurriedly flipped through it. The sound of "brush, brush, brush" was like leaves blown away by the wind, but none of this was comparable to Eve's inner anxiety.
Although this series of runs is not physical work at all for Eve, an A-rank swordsman. But she was sweating profusely because of her anxiety. Sweat from his forehead kept dripping onto the pages.
At this time, Eve heard the voice of Curator Camille behind her: "Your Royal Highness Second Princess, what information are you looking for?"
Lance helped Eve reply, "Three years ago, Princess Isabella's maid-in-waiting. ”
"This one. Curator Camille leaned down and followed Eve's frenzied flipping motion.
Then Curator Camille looked at the number of pages, and turned it directly, and turned to the page where Princess Isabella's servant registration information was three years ago: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, please take a look." ”
At this time, Lance next to him was dumbfounded, afraid that this is the legendary practice makes perfect, and he is so clear about the number of pages where the information of each book is located. This Camille curator is definitely not ordinary.
"Thank you, Curator Camille. Eve began to look at it.
And when Eve saw the names of those people, she was stunned. Seeing this, Lance also leaned in, and when he saw it, there were two familiar names among the three maids who served Isabella at that time.
"Lisa Donette, Jessica Nantes? Could it be the maid I met earlier, Lisa, and Jessica, who was almost insulted?"
With a "bang", Eve closed the book: "That's right, it's them." What a coincidence, I didn't expect it to be them. Let's go find them. With this big affection of ours, they will definitely say it. ”
But Lance grabbed Eve, who was about to leave, and said, "Wait a minute, I still have to check something." ”
Eve asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
Lance turned around and asked Curator Camille, "Curator Camille, do you know where the kitchen maids have been recorded in the last month?"
Eve patted Lance on the shoulder and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Lance smiled perfunctorily and said, "I want to see it, maybe it will be useful." ”
After a while, Director Camille brought a brochure on the transfer of personnel in the kitchen. When Lance flipped to seven days ago, he saw Lisa and Jessica's transfer records.
Lance muttered to himself, "I'm not mistaken, the first time I met Lisa, she seemed to say that she had just been transferred to the kitchen. And before her. ”
Lance glanced at the personnel transfer book, which said that Lisa and Jessica were both transferred from the procurement warehouse.
Lance turned to Eve and asked, "Eve, what does the maid in the procurement warehouse usually do?"
Eve replied, "It's a chore." It is to go to the market to buy all kinds of things according to the needs of the castle. ”
"Is it just going to the market of Idiris?"
Eve shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. They travel a lot. Take me, for example. Do you remember that I ordered an expensive dress for Winnie and me in Lori Town?"
Lance nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"That dress was to be picked up by the maids or attendants of the storehouse on a business trip to the local tailor's shop in Lori Town. Tailors don't deliver to your door. ”
"I see. Lance then turned to Curator Mikal and said, "That's ...... trouble."
"Procurement of personnel files in the warehouse?" Director Mikal asked directly, "How many years ago?"
Lance smiled embarrassedly and nodded: "Three years ago." ”
So Curator Mikal brought the personnel files of the procurement warehouse three years ago. After Lance finished flipping, he also found the transfer time of Lisa and Jessica. At this time, Lance was finally satisfied.
"Let's go, Eve, it looks like it's going to be over. ”
Although Eve didn't know what Lance meant by this series of actions, it didn't matter to Eve anymore. She just wanted to ask Lisa and Jessica right away, and then get news from her sister Isabella.
With that, Lance and Eve ran out of the library and went straight to Eve's bedroom.
Because after the last attempted rape of Jessica by the old prostitute Duke, in order to prevent Duke from retaliating, Eve has transferred Lisa and Jessica from the kitchen to her side.
When Lance and Eve open the door to Eve's bedroom, they see Lisa with a rag and Jessica cleaning Eve's room with a broom.
When she saw Eve, Lisa's face was full of surprise: "Your Highness Eve, why did you come back?" Didn't you say you were going to leave Idris for 7 days?"
But Eve didn't pay attention to Lisa's words at all, and asked straight to the point: "Lisa, Jessica, were you my sister Isabella's maid three years ago?"
Lisa was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Jessica next to her, and then replied, "Yes, that's right." ”
"Then do you know what special men my sister Isabella came into contact with three years ago?"
Lisa was stunned, she was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "Three years ago, Her Royal Highness Isabella didn't see any special men. Even if there were men, they were all foreign guests. ”
Eve looked at Jessica and asked, "What about you?"
Jessica also shook her head and said, "No." ”
"Really, think about it," Eve looked at Lisa and Jessica suspiciously.
Lisa thought for a moment, nodded in affirmation, and said, "Yes, it really isn't." ”
"That's the case. Eve held her chin and looked at Lance, her frowning brow as if to say, "Lance, are you reasoning wrong?"
But Lance's inner thoughts were just the opposite, and the Q&A just now helped Lance determine one thing, Lisa's matter is very troublesome.
Because when answering just now, Lance observed a detail.
From beginning to end, Lisa was calm though. But Jessica's hands were clutching the broomsticks non-stop. And she kept her head down from beginning to end, secretly glancing at Lisa, not daring to look at Eve. And Lisa gave Jessica a look back from time to time. This back and forth made Lance, a bystander, see it clearly.
And the panicked hands and timid and awe-struck eyes were telling Lance that both Jessica and Lisa had problems. Lance still doesn't know it, though. Lance knew that what he had checked before seemed to be really going to be used.
