Seeing off Mr. Hunter, Joyce perfected his plan while waiting for MI9 to come to the door.

The military will not remain indifferent to the death of a major, and Major General Bright will only be more urgent about it, although he has no authority to investigate the matter, but it is normal for him to exert influence on MI9.

However, until the Crimson Moon took the sun's place, Joyce didn't wait for investigators to come to the door.

This came as a surprise to him.

Could it be that Diego's disappearance was not discovered by MI9? Do intelligence organizations also have weekends off?

Even if this is the case, it is impossible for Bright not to be aware, he knows that I have arrived home safely, and Diego has no news, how can he not be suspicious?

An extraordinary person in Sequence Seven is not a cabbage on the side of the road, and if he says he is dead, he will die...... Bright may not think I'll be able to kill Diego, but he'll think I've got a helper behind me, at least a mid-tier extraordinaire with a strong fight...... He might even wonder if "William's list" could be in the hands of this unwarranted helper......

This is a mental simulation of Joyce's position in the enemy's position, not 100% accurate, but also enough to conform to the logic of the character.

Sure enough, the next morning, he waited for MI9 investigators, but the presiding judge was an unexpected candidate.

Thomas!

How could it be Thomas...... Joyce didn't understand, it was impossible for Bright not to know the relationship between the two of us, could it be that he was scared and planned to turn the big thing into a small thing?

Dressed in the uniform of a captain in MI9, Thomas sat calmly in his chair with deep eyes staring at Joyce and Sophia behind him.

Behind him stood a strange second lieutenant officer with a serious expression, as if he was suppressing something:

"Baron Best, we only want to ask you alone."

"Sofia can add to my statement, she knows a lot about what happened on Saturday night." Joyce graciously rebuffed his request.

The second lieutenant was about to say something, but was interrupted by Thomas raising his hand: "How do you know I'm going to ask about Saturday night?" ”

Joyce looked surprised: "Didn't you come to investigate my assassination?" ”

"Assassinated?" Thomas asked, keeping his composure.

"On Saturday night, I left General Gordon's banquet and was attacked by assassins on my way home, and my coachman was killed......"

Joyce didn't tell the story in its entirety, but stopped halfway through and asked with a frown:

"I've already called the police, aren't you here to help with the investigation?"

It could be seen that Thomas wanted to say something, but quickly held back: "No. ”

"I thought the Byam police department had referred the case to MI9!" Joyce muttered at first, and then asked:

"And what are you doing here?"

Thomas took out his notebook and said in a businesslike tone:

"Baron Best, do you know Diego? He also attended General Gordon's dinner. ”

"Diego......" Joyce's eyes widened, and he recalled seriously for a while: "Oh, I remembered......"

"He was wearing the MI9 major uniform that night, and he had a battle scar under his left eye, and we had a conversation...... In fact, I had a few words with most of the people who attended the dinner. ”

"Yes, I heard you were one of the two most popular people at that party." Thomas said as he recorded.

Joyce asked curiously, "Two...... Who is the other one? ”

"A lady named Ianna." Thomas replied simply.

Well, she's very popular...... Joyce stumbled, then asked, "How do you know?" ”

Thomas didn't raise his head and said, "Baron Best, you're not the first person I asked. ”

Joyce knew this, but asked with unknowing curiosity, "What happened?" The atmosphere at the dinner was warm and nothing unexpected happened. ”

"The accident happened after the dinner," Thomas muttered, "Major Diego died in the basement of an ownerless house. ”

"Dead!" Joyce made no secret of his amazement: "A major died like this!" Has the situation in Byam reached this level? ”

Then, he sighed and sighed: "It seems that I am relatively lucky, although I was assassinated, at least I did not lose my life. ”

Thomas went on to ask, "Was your assassination also at the same time?" ”

"Yes, after dinner." Joyce replied.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Ugh......" Joyce sighed, retelling her story, before adding, "The Byam Police Department should have an update, and if you want to know about it, you can check their profile." ”

"Yes." Thomas nodded: "Have you been anywhere else on Saturday night other than the assassination?" ”

"Nope." Joyce denied.

"If I'm not mistaken, you said that the coachman died during the assassination, so there is no one to prove it to you?" Thomas asked wryly.

"There is no problem with logic...... Joyce emphasized, "but what I say is the truth." ”

"Okay, my inquiry is over." Thomas closed the notebook in his hand, got up to leave, and before leaving, he said:

"The assassination you suffered may be related to the death of Major Diego, and the assailant may have a next move, so you need to keep yourself safe."

"I will." Joyce agreed, sending Thomas and the ensign out of the drawing-room.

…………

"Mr. Baron, the second lieutenant has a great displeasure with you." Sophia exited the "audience" state and stated softly.

Joyce let out an "um", which he could also see that the second lieutenant was not very good at hiding his emotions......

"Mr. Thomas seems to be deliberately controlling himself, there are no mood swings in the whole process, only ......"

"Only what?" Joyce asked.

"Only when you say, 'A major just died!' Has the situation in Byam reached this level? At the time of this, Mr. Thomas's writing hand paused, as if stimulated by something. Sophia frowned and said hesitantly.

Is there anything wrong with this statement?

The major died, the baron was assassinated, and it was normal for the situation to be bad......

Wait, the "situation" ......

Joyce turned her mind to the word......

On Friday, Thomas came to remind himself that "the situation is serious, be careful".

As a result, on Saturday night, Diego died and I was assassinated.

I mentioned the situation in Byam just now, does this constitute a hint and a reminder in Thomas's eyes...... With his love of poetry and drama, it's not impossible for him to think so......

Moreover, Diego considers himself an "audience" and proves that the main material of the "audience" is what he sold to me through the "scales...... And after that, Thomas came to remind me if he had proven that he knew that Diego was targeting me......

And we were both assassinated on the same night, one dead and the other alive......

Thomas may have guessed something, but he volunteered to ask me and didn't talk about it, maybe he was on his side?

However, even if he guessed the truth, there would be no evidence, and Bright, who knew the truth, did not dare to target me openly, otherwise the matter would be made public, and a major would secretly kidnap a baron, and no one would take this responsibility.

I'm no longer the black-eyed pawn I used to be......
