If the time is too short, the little dark house will lose its meaning...... For example, if it's less than eight hours, it's the equivalent of helping someone pull the lamp before going to bed.

Tommy Lloyd was held yesterday afternoon, at least for 24 hours.

Then you can tell him that they have been locked up for thirty hours. Hunger and fear prolong each other's physical sensations, and Tommy thinks he only has one day left - but in reality there is still one day and six hours.

The six hours that came out were the information gap created by the Great Guardian.

By two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the Great Guardian had arrived at the Red Queen's Inspectorate on time.

But when they opened the chamber and lit the lights, they found that there was no one in the chamber.

There was only a brass ring, lying quietly on the stone bed. In the light shimmering golden light.

"Lloyd's...... Escaped? ”

The inspectors who were in charge of the matter were stunned, but they weren't nervous — they were confident that there was nothing wrong with their process. has always maintained the highest level of vigilance, and even the director of the bureau has personally stood guard on the road to be passed. During this time, there were not even supplies coming in or out, not even a single box going in or out.

If someone can hide from them in such a situation, it means that they are a strong enemy they cannot deal with.

That's not their problem, of course.

Great Guardian George picked up the ring and examined it carefully.

It was carved into it with a scarred fist, clenched tightly, blood dripping from its fingers.

"Wounded Fist ......"

The Great Guardian muttered in a low voice, "The noble red one? ”

This is a provocation - there is no doubt about it.

The Noble Red Society is mocking the Inspectorate.

Surrounded by layers of inspectors, people can sneak in and take people away...... This must be a spy of the Noble Red in the Inspectorate. This kind of thing is only possible if there is an inner ghost among them.

“…… Wrong. ”

Thinking of this, the Great Guardian narrowed his eyes: "Lloy should have been killed." ”

If it was robbed, it would not have been possible for no one to see it. Even if they can buy surveillance, they can't buy passers-by. Lloyd's has a special body and can't be as easy to look like an ordinary person or blend into the crowd...... So he didn't "leave", but "disappeared".

The means that can make people die until there are no bones left, it is much simpler. And the noble red does master similar rituals.

It would be nice if that were the case – for George, Lloyd's death would have been much easier.

"Let the Scribe of the Law go back a bit." George ordered.

"Yes." The accompanying inspector responded.

The Great Guardian surveyed the room. His gaze quickly drew attention to the clean marble bed.

It's hard enough and cold enough to be standard in the little dark rooms and interrogation rooms of the winter - even though the mighty transcendents are physically strong enough, they can also feel uncomfortable. Such an environment can effectively extend the somatosensory time.

However, the Great Guardian remembers that in return for yesterday afternoon's gift, George had the Superintendent prepare a thin sheet for Tommy. This makes the bed look less cool – after all, lying on a whole block of marble in the middle of the winter with a bare upper body is not much warmer than lying on ice.

But that's a trap.

Because if it weren't for the sheet, Tommy probably wouldn't have slept on the stone bed at all. And the chill oozing through the linen sheets, although it does not make people feel the torture so clearly at once, but the faint discomfort that accumulates over time and gradually builds up is just right.

So, his sheets were also ruined?

What's left on the sheets?

"Before the lawyer comes, send someone to examine the blood on the stone bed."

The Great Guardian ordered: "And in the corner of the room, check it all - Director Atayal, there should be no blood stains in this secret room before, and no one has died, right?" ”

"Absolutely not."

The middle-aged woman wearing monocles replied in the affirmative.

Soon, the inspectors immediately took the prepared reagents and tested the entire single room.

Of course, the bed and floor are clean. There is no trace at all.

And the middle-aged law wizard Dawn hurried over.

"The silver-crowned dragon is on top. Greetings to you, Great Guardian. ”

Instead of his usual leisurely and relaxed, he respectfully crossed the staff and bowed to the Great Guardian.

"Mr. Daun," the Grand Guardian nodded slightly, "please go back in time to trace the traces of the dead here." Just in the last twenty-four hours—in this secret room. ”

…… Decedent?

When did someone die in the Chamber of Secrets?

Dawn was a little confused in his heart, but there was not the slightest doubt on his lips: "Yes." ”

He paused his staff on the ground—silvery-white runes condensed into a circle, spreading and lighting up on the ground.

Soon, a large figure appeared out of thin air.

As if going back in time, the image is in reverse order: the giant sits up suddenly, seems to be talking to someone, and then slowly lies back down again. With his stature, the stone bed made him a little unable to lie down, so he could only curl his legs.

The rest of the story was that he was lying motionless in bed.

"Less than a minute."

Without waiting for the Great Guardian to ask, Dawn replied directly, "It took less than a minute between the time he sat down and when he was knocked down or pounced on again. I used to be triple fast, I switched to half speed and started all over again. ”

As he spoke, the image blurred for a while, and then repeated itself from the beginning.

"Wait."

Suddenly, George and Director Atayal said in unison.

The image paused instantly, freezing to the faint traces of the giant's fingers. He seemed to have written something, and then covered it with his hand.

Apparently, he should have written this on the sheets. But the other party sensed this, and destroyed his body and destroyed the sheets as well.

Director Atayal took the pen and paper directly and put it on the stone bed.

She crouched down on the edge of the bed and told Dawn to continue, "Slow down this time, Mr. Dawn. Let me describe his last words. ”

"Okay."

Dwayne nodded, changing the time to a sixths of the speed.

Ataya quickly wrote down Lloyd's "last words" – even though they were written backwards, but they were almost recognizable what he wanted to write.

Dawn also leaned over with some curiosity: "Aleister, woman...... What does this word mean? ”

"This is short for noble red."

Atayal explained.

"It was the noble red Aleste who killed me, she's a woman—I think he meant that."

The Great Guardian said in a deep voice.

Ataya turned her head and asked the Great Guardian, "What should we do, Your Excellency the Great Guardian?" Immediately launched a wanted arrest for Aleister? ”

"Nope."

Unexpectedly, the Great Guardian vetoed: "Block the news." ”

"Blocking messages?"

"That's right. The Red of Noble couldn't come forward to prove that they had killed Tommy Lloyd - and Lloyd couldn't have come forward to say that he had been killed by Aleister, and we didn't see Lloyd's body.

"Since there is no one to prove that Lloyd's is dead...... Then Lloyd's is still alive, but I have been imprisoned in other, more secret places. ”

The Great Guardian ordered, "I will personally ask Her Majesty what to do next." Let's get all the people in your bureau who know about this to sign the confidentiality order - including you and Dawn. ”

"Yes."

Director Atayal responded.

She also sighed in her heart, this was really unexpected...... The one who robbed Moriarty was a woman. So how should her name be spelled?

And wait for the crowd to return through the secret passage, and after all the members have signed the secrecy order under the supervision of the Great Guardian.

As soon as they returned to the hall, Director Atayal saw a familiar person waiting for something at the counter.

“…… Miss Lily? ”

Director Atayal greeted in surprise: "Is Mr. Moriarty okay?" ”

The person in front of him is the person who disappeared with Ivas - Ivus's personal maid Lily!

How did she come back on her own?

…… Oh, yes.

Ataya was stunned.

They must have fled while Aleister was away, right?

Ataya was about to speak, but the confidentiality order she had just signed shut her mouth again.

Lily folded her hands in front of her and whispered, "Young Master and I have already escaped...... Or rather, it was as if we had been let go. Because the eldest lady suddenly disappeared, I immediately fled back with the young master. Since we were in the Red Queens, we went to the Moriarty Museum for a break...... Then I'll come back to the young master's wheelchair.

"The young master said that it is a prop related to the case, and it may be here. If I'm not here, I'll have to go back to school. ”

"Is it there?"

The big guardian on the side asked with concern.

"Yes."

Lily affirmed, but was a little troubled: "But it seems like a very troublesome process......"

"No need. Atayal, you push Ivace's wheelchair out and let Miss Lily take it back. ”

George said in a deep voice.

"Thank you so much—"

Lily saluted politely, but tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused: "May I ask ...... you?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

The Great Guardian smiled and asked casually, "...... 'Miss'?" What does the eldest lady who guards you look like? You don't seem to have any hostility towards her. ”

"Because she didn't hurt us."

Lily said calmly, "Not from the beginning.

"The lady who manipulated the shadows was beautiful with long, caramel-colored curly hair...... I can't tell you where we've been for the past few days, but it's in the Red Queen. I'm sorry, sir. We all signed the contract and can't reveal too much. ”

The Great Guardian could see that this was 100 percent true.

But this intelligence is enough.

"So, you've seen the young lady's face, haven't you?"

He confirmed, a slight guess in his mind: "She didn't disguise herself in front of you?" ”

Not many people now know that Aleister is a woman and has just acted.

If Lily and Ivus weren't Aleister's collaborators, they could only be people who had seen her for real.

But they can't possibly work with Aleister - because it doesn't make any sense to them.

So Lily's words sound a bit bizarre on their own...... But it is precisely because of this bizarreness and this lack of logic that the Great Guardian is convinced.

At this moment, everything happened to be right.

"Yes."

Lily nodded and said in the affirmative, "But we don't know who she is......"

"Aleister."

The Great Guardian replied directly, "Her name, or at least codename, is Aleister - I think you'll see the news these days soon." ”

He didn't reveal Aless's identity, nor did he speak ill of her in front of Lily. This is impolite.

At least they didn't hurt them - regardless of the position, but at least for Ivas and Lily, Aleister was not hostile. Then he could not force them to be hostile to Aleister from a righteous standpoint. This is unjust.

But...... Even if Aleister didn't hurt them, the Red of Noble might have realized that Ivus had fled.

They are still in danger.

So George thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Forget it, I'll go with you." It can also protect you, and it can also greet Ivus...... It just so happens that I have other important things to tell Ewas. If you have time...... You can also come to my house in the evening and spend the night first. After all, your dormitory hasn't been cleaned up in order to preserve the crime scene. But now that you're back, you can find someone to clean up the dormitory. ”

George smiled politely, his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

The tall blonde man looked like a knight of the most standard - humble, calm, and upright.

He smiled and whispered, "By the way, let me introduce myself first, my name is George Patton." A friend of Professor Moriarty. ”
