11. What did the pangolin at the next table say
After returning home alone, Arya did not choose to rest in the middle of the night, but sat quietly by the piano.
Her fingers rested on the cold keys, and the familiar touch made her want to press it, but now was not the time to do it.
She was already under suspicion, the little girl with the double ponytail, and the tall man beside her, Sisley had told herself, a pair of detectives who would use strange magic as weapons, and they showed up at Nia Van Dyne's house today.
The detective, a profession that relies on prestige for a large extent, is very competitive. However, at the time, Nia acquiesced to the existence of the two of them.
The detective group has no impression of themselves, but they know them because of Sisley's relationship, which is the biggest mistake they have made. However, this mistake is inevitable, and they don't know that Sisley and 1510 are reporting to them.
But Lilith has finally gone from simply doubting herself to sending detectives to investigate her actions? She is still too merciful, if she were her, she will not let anyone doubt anyone. In other words, there is no way for the empire to stay for long, human patience is limited after all, and Lilith cannot simply wait forever.
"Obviously a good friend. ”
Arya muttered quietly, the sound of a knock from the window making her realize that the person she had been waiting for had finally appeared.
Since it is no longer possible to stay in the empire for a long time, then at least before the blatant backlash, let's knock it hard.
"Lord Arya!"
A dark shadow crashed into Arya's arms. Lim began to rub like a dog who hadn't seen his owner for dozens of days. Sisley, who then jumped in, carefully closed the window. He put down the gun he was carrying.
"Your Highness, I've kept you waiting. ”
Sisley took off his black coat, "It took a lot of effort to get around the mountain road with Lim, and it was a bit messy when it came to arranging the retreat. ”
"None of that matters. ”
Arya propped her forehead with her hand, and although she was very reluctant to mention it, there were some things that had to be asked.
"What about the losses?"
"...... out of a quarter Third, Your Highness, the remnants of the party that should have been exterminated suddenly appeared again. And she has re-persuaded many of her clansmen to go back, and in addition, Kate has betrayed her......"
"What about the woman?"
Arya only felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, and what she had been preparing for a long, long time was easily dismantled like a joke.
"The woman...... Ran. ”
Sisley's tone unconsciously became angry, "By the time we find her original residence, there is no one left, and the defeat of the other three paths is inseparable from the demons under her command. Your Highness ......"
"Let's go, it seems that she is smarter than me. Leave one step ahead. ”
"But Your Highness, we have been deceived!"
"So what, or did you beat them?" Arya's words gagged Sisley's mouth.
Although I don't want to admit it, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how the weak are arranged, no matter how hard they try, they will only come to naught. One force will drop ten, war, as long as it is won, the process is not important.
"Anyway, let me take a break these days. Arya waved her hand and motioned for Sisley and Lim to leave, "It's been a long time, I haven't been so tired. ”
After a general investigation with no results, Claire finally decided to give herself a day off.
Obviously, that Arya basically didn't show any flaws, and when she didn't go out and hid at home, she couldn't rush in to investigate, but Nia and Fei were still watching around, which was a waste of time.
Because of the deposit sponsored by Lilith, Claire no longer has to eat bread at home, but goes to a restaurant that is rare to enter once.
Compared to Claire, who eats like a starving ghost, Watson, who has no appetite, focuses on the other guests in the restaurant. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he noticed that the atmosphere of the conversation among the guests in the restaurant was a little strange, and it should not be the atmosphere that should be the one when eating.
And Claire's attention was already attracted by the idea of "eating a meal in the sea", and he didn't pay attention to what others said.
"Oh, the paella you wanted. ”
Lilith, who was dressed as a maid, put the plate in front of Claire with an unkind face, "I said two, there should be no legal rest day for some professions." ”
"Oh, Lilith in the maid's outfit, if you don't shoot it again, it's out of print. ”
With the sound of [click], a picture of Lilith, a maid with a gloomy face, was born.
"It was just too busy before, but this is where I work. ”
Lilith put the plate away and asked, taking advantage of the opportunity to pour tea for Claire, "You're running out of time, I don't want to wait any longer." ”
"I can't help it. ”
Claire frowned, "Alia, who you want me to investigate, is usually at home, and it's rare to even come out, at yesterday's banquet, I told you about the suspicions, and you said that they can't be used as evidence, and if you catch someone, you will arrest it directly, and you want our detectives to investigate the decisive evidence, and on the other hand, you can't help but do it yourself......"
"I just wanted her to be convinced. Lilith ignored Claire's grievances, and turned around to salute after stealing the tea, "Anyway, come on, two." ”
"This guy has a really bad personality. ”
Claire whispered a whisper of grumbling, but then the food in front of her drew all her attention.
Now that it's time to rest, why bother with work matters?
"Speaking of Watson, if you don't eat it, the portion will belong to me. ”
"Ah, take it. ”
Compared to Claire, who was eating at the sea, Watson's brows were even tighter, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was a little wrong, not that the guests were strange, but that the content of the guests' conversation was strange.
Even here, it was hard to hear because of the sound of Claire eating, but judging by the slightly frightened eyes of some of the guests, what they were talking about was definitely not a good thing.
Moreover, if it is a table of guests, it seems that the whole restaurant is permeated with this strange atmosphere, could it be that there are some strange rumors?
"Hey, Kreel. Watson snatched Claire's spoon over, "Don't make a noise, let me hear what the man at the table has to say." (To be continued......)
