Chapter 196: Confide

Crane was right, and sure enough, he saw the beautiful maid with long brown hair at the end of the passage.

"Mr. Moriarty," Leah asked, smiling, "My lady would like to invite you to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee, is that okay?"

Crane smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"Then please come with me," Leah gestured sideways, "this way."

Crane followed the pretty maid, step by step, closer to where his "ex" girlfriend was.

On the way, a question suddenly popped out of his mind-

Should I know how I was resurrected?

The smile on Crane's face stiffened suddenly, realizing that this was a very important question, which he hadn't thought of before.

These few steps must not be enough time to figure this out...... Just when he was a little apprehensive, he suddenly saw a sign for the bathroom not far away.

Pregnant.

Crane's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke:

"Can you wait a minute, I suddenly want to go to the bathroom."

Seeing the pretty maid turn around, he smiled apologetically and pointed to the sign in the bathroom.

"Of course," Leah nodded, "I'll wait for you here......

Crane saw the small worry contained in her unfinished words, waved his hand before leaving, and said with relief:

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

Entering the bathroom and closing the wooden door, Crane sat down on the toilet, his chin in his hand, and began to seriously consider the question that had just come to mind.

[In view of the general environment,

Answer: There are only two-

"Know" and "Don't know".

The answer to this question has a great influence on his attitude towards Valeera's upcoming interactions, and at the heart of it is his relationship with the Fool.

If he "didn't know", then the argument would be that he somehow came back from the dead, choosing to come to Beckland incognito for fear of pollution, fear of losing control, fear of church investigations, and revenge......

This is a reasonable explanation...... If he wasn't going to explain the situation to Valera and ask for help.

This is an obvious flaw that cannot be avoided -

A few days ago, Mr. Fool said that she had a revolder who had come to Beckland and needed to kill Beckland, the ambassador of Intis, but it was not convenient for her to do it herself...... As a result, he was resurrected by the "Fool" and offended Beckron as well, but he didn't know the "Fool"?

It doesn't make sense.

But if he "knows", then how can he explain his actions during this time, especially deliberately avoiding asking the "fool" to resurrect his Valeera?

This is also a conundrum.

Is it to be said to be "Mr. Fool's Mission"?

But if this is the case, then why did the "fool" ask for help for him at the "Tarot Society", isn't it a contradiction?

……

After a few moments, Crane left the bathroom and followed the pretty maid to the cafeteria.

It's still lunchtime, and the restaurant is sparsely populated with members or guests.

Valera sat quietly in a window seat on the edge, her dark purple wide-brimmed hat and a cup of marquis tea floating with lemon slices in front of her.

"Hello, Miss Vicky."

Crane smiled and said hello again, before taking a seat across from Valeera.

"The famous detective Sherlock Moriarty?" Valeera's gaze lingered on Crane's face, and there was a hint of ethereal feeling in her soft tone, "Did you just come to Beckland?"

"Yes." Crane felt as if his cheeks were feverish.

Valera nodded almost imperceptibly, and asked again:

"I can ask you where you are

Inside?"

"Makai-gun," Crane didn't dare to look at Valeera's serious expression, "I'm from Makai-gun, Conston City."

Valera nodded again, and seemed to grow a little wider.

At this time, the beautiful maid who brought him over brought him a cup of coffee, highland coffee, with three sugar cubes and a spoonful of milk, which she had asked for on the way, and placed it in front of him, and Crane smiled silently back.

"I also have a friend in Conston City, whose last name is McGovern." Valilla didn't use a questioning tone this time.

Of course, Crane understood what she meant by this, and he didn't go around the bush anymore, nodding back:

"Coincidentally, I haven't met, but I've heard of a banker named McGovern in Conston City."

Valera didn't speak again.

She picked up the cup of marquis black tea on the table, took a sip, and took one sip after another.

Seeing her behave like this, Crane suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't know what to say, so he took his coffee and took a big sip, letting the mixed sweet and bitter taste melt in his mouth.

After a few moments, Valera seemed to have her emotions in check.

She put down the tea, picked up the purple wide-brimmed hat, stood up, and asked Crane:

"Mr. Moriarty, could you please do me a favor?"

"Of course," Crane followed, "it's my pleasure to serve you."

"Please follow me."

Valilla put on her hat and walked ahead, and a somewhat unknown Leah immediately followed.

Crane sighed and followed.

The three of them left the cafeteria and made their way up to the second floor.

Valera asked for a break room.

She opened the door, stared at Crane with mist-covered eyes, and said:

"Please come in."

Crane felt his heart pounding.

As he entered the door, his mind suddenly flashed to the restrictive image he had seen during the divination yesterday.

"You're waiting outside."

With these words, Valeera closed the door and left her personal maid Leah outside.

Leah stood in the doorway, a little surprised, a little stunned...... What is this going to do, Miss? Why was she suddenly so close to the man she had just met? It can't be some kind of bewildering spell, right?

She looked at both sides of the empty aisle, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

……

in the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Valeera turned and threw herself into the arms of the great detective, holding him tight.

"Crane, Crane......"

She shouted his name, again and again.

Crane stiffened at first, but after a few moments, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Valeera's slender waist and patted her on the back.

After a while, Valera let go of her hands and freed herself from Crane's embrace.

She looked at Crane with those teary eyes, and asked:

"Why didn't you come to me?"

Crane lowered his arms in amazement, sighed, and replied:

"Because I haven't figured it out yet.

"There's been so much going on in this time, some you know and some you don't know.

"I didn't think about what to do, I didn't think about how to face you, and I felt confused about the fate of my soul......

Crane secretly pointed out his "wavering" in faith, and finally met Valeera's silent gaze, and said:

"I'm sorry, Valeera.

"I should have come to see you sooner."

He thought that his words were reasonable and harmonious enough to deal with Valeera's first questions, but Valeera's reply surprised and panicked.

"Crane, I feel like you've ...... 'grown.'"

say

As she spoke, Valeera's dark brown eyes seemed to reveal a hint of suspicion.
