Chapter 258: Leonard's Visit
All the way to the Tasok River, outside an abandoned glaze-making yard, Triss quietly got out of the carriage and waited here.
Another woman, dressed in black, appeared as if in the sun, reminded:
"Ms. Trissy, Mr. Lewis asked me to ask you about Cherry, you should understand."
There's a rare look of surprise on Triss's round face, and she smiles faintly and asks:
"Mr. Leonardo seems to know a lot of things, and he is so powerful in his own right, I really want to know who he really is.
How about if you tell me who that gentleman really is, and I'll give you the potion recipe for the Witch of Pleasure? ”
Shirley's face darkened, and she warned:
"Miss Triss, please put away your little thoughts! Mr. Leonardo's greatness is not something you can figure out, you just need to do your part. ”
"Heh......" Triss chuckled and said as usual, "Tell Mr. Leonardo, and I'll take Cherie to meet him." ”
……
In Queens, in a castle-like house, Lewis admired the spring scenery in the courtyard, and his thoughts had already drifted into the distance.
The role of "Winner" is not something that can be done overnight, and he is now very close to the seal, 0-08, and the closer he gets to the seal, the more danger it becomes.
Suddenly, the grass in front of Lewis's eyes was bent, and a slight sound of footsteps came from far and near.
"Mr. Lewis, Triss asked me to tell you that she will meet you at the clock tower tonight, and she will bring Miss Cherry."
"Okay."
Lewis nodded and silently jotted down the news.
He didn't expect Triss to still be in touch with Cherly, but as long as he found Cherry, it meant that the final battle was about to begin.
After all, Cherie is the messenger of the Witch Sect, and finding him is equivalent to grasping the movements of the Witch Sect, and it is easy to find Ince. Zangwill.
"Before I do that, maybe I should tell the Being about my purpose, and if the Being doesn't agree, I might have a hard time getting the Seal 0-08.
Of course, these aspects are not for me to think about, there will always be a tacit understanding between several gods, and there is no reason for that being to stop me. ”
A valet walked down the winding path and came to Lewis, whispering:
"Mr. Lewis, there's an inspector who wants to see you."
"Ask him to come in." Lewis was not weak-hearted, whether it was the master of secret puppets or the big businessman Gavin was killed by him, but no one could find complete evidence.
The evidence is insufficient, and no one dares to do anything too much to a righteous god, unless it is the group of madmen of the Aurora Society.
But it's clear that the Aurora Society bunch of lunatics are busy doing things around, and it's hard to relate to him.
The valet turned to leave, while Lewis continued to admire the freshly blooming flowers in the yard, waiting for Mr. Inspector to arrive.
A man in a trench coat and gloves followed the manservant as he arrived, and Lewis smiled and took off his half-height silk top hat and saluted, saying:
"That's a surprise to me, Mr. Leonard."
He really didn't expect that this time the person who came this time would be Leonard, a former Tingen market value nightman who later became a member of the "Red Glove" team. After the death of Smith and Klein.
The "Red Gloves" are an elite team within the Night Watchers, and must be at least Sequence 7 to be eligible to join.
Lewis knew about Leonard's life, and when it came to the future, Mr. Leonard would also join the Tarot Society and become Mr. "Poet".
Moreover, the old angel in Leonard's body, Parles, is very familiar with Lewis, and at least, has reached a few friendly deals with Lewis.
The valet left in a familiar manner, and Leonard saluted Lewis, his muscles bulging, and his face gloomy and said:
"I am no less surprised than you, the father of alternating current, Lewis. Harvey!
The last time I saw you, you were a detective from Tingen who believed in the goddess, and in just half a year, you became a god of steam and machines.
If I hadn't seen your portrait, I think I would have had a hard time recognizing you. ”
Lewis smiled faintly:
"We're all changing, just like you, Mr. Midnight Poet, aren't you now a member of the Red Glove team?"
After a pause, he asked:
"I'm sure you didn't come this time out of the blue, is there anything important?"
Leonard's face gradually returned to normal, and he and Lewis walked in the garden, the flowers were blooming, and the scene in front of him was full of life, but his mood could not be calmed.
"I've heard from my colleague Klein about your deeds, and it's not hard to guess that you may have been the first to come into contact with the people behind the city of Tingen.
I don't believe you have nothing to do with that, I just want to know, was the captain's death caused by your connivance? ”
"No, I wasn't involved in that, I was just looking for what was missing." Lewis watched the butterfly fall on his fingertips and watch the butterfly fly away, as if he had seen the fate of the butterfly's life.
Born in the form of an insect, it undergoes a cocoon and becomes a butterfly, but it has less than a month of life left to mate and fly, until the end of its life and returns to dust.
Leonard was stunned for a moment, it was hard to imagine that there was anything that required such a powerful and powerful person to search for it desperately.
"I'll remember what you say." Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, Lewis didn't look like he was lying, and the tragedy in Tingen had nothing to do with Lewis.
His eyes were fierce again, and in addition to the private affairs in the city of Tingen, there was another official matter to be asked, and he wanted to know the purpose of Lewis's coming to Tingen, and why he had committed several horrific and horrific deeds.
Leonard accompanied Lewis aimlessly through the flowers, his spirit gradually relaxed, and he spoke in an communicative tone about the two most recent cases of the transcendent.
"There have been two horrific homicides recently, one by a transcendent in the East Side and the other by a merchant in the West Side, both of whom are missing, but I judge that both of them are already dead."
"Really?" Lewis lifted his half-height silk top hat and asked rhetorically without emotion:
"Transcendents are inherently dangerous, and deaths between transcendents happen every day, isn't it happening every day?"
Leonard's voice was cold:
"This time it's different, it's two very powerful transcendents who died, one is a sequence five, and the other is even a high sequence.
Their identities are sensitive and appear to be in a shady business, and the two men were killed after you appeared in Beckland as the 'father of alternating current'. ”
"That doesn't prove anything, they were killed after you came to Beckland, did it?" Lewis certainly couldn't have admitted it, even if Leonard had already guessed the facts.
