Chapter 244: The Morning Secret
After Ivus was promoted, he didn't have time to greet Sherlock if his promotion went well......
As a result, Sherlock came to the door himself and preemptively confirmed whether Ivas and Isabel had been promoted.
The only problem was that he didn't go to the Temple of Silver and Tin, but to the Royal Law University.
He stood at the gate of the school to intercept Ivas, and was interviewed by the four newspapers that had arrived in half an hour by the way.
The resurrection of Detective Sherlock, who had been publicly funeral - you don't have to think about it to know it's going to make headlines. No matter what the original headline is, it can be snatched directly.
Detective Sherlock, resurrected!
Sherlock's prestige in Avalon is very high.
It is different from the heroic positioning of Ivus who has repeatedly eradicated evil, purified demons, protected civilians, and healed the wounded.
He is worshipped because he is a symbol.
"Sherlock" represents the possibility that even if he does not enter the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate, or the Court of Law, even if he is a commoner who does not hold any power or wealth in his hands, even the Inspector General must treat him with respect and even be received by the Queen, as long as he is an individual.
Because Avalon needs Sherlock.
Although it is known that Shylock is a member of the Hermes family. However, his brother has always kept a low profile, and not even everyone in the round table knows his name. It was as if he was invisible, and he could not be seen in any political struggles, in the tabloids, in public speeches. Although he went to all the banquets he was supposed to go, he also had no presence at the banquets.
As a result, people's impression of the Hermes family is still at the level of Shylock's father who caused a big disaster and resigned.
- Look, a retired official who was assassinated by a member of the royal family because of a mistake in his work, his descendants can also be received and respected by the queen for his excellent personal ability!
As a result, Sherlock, who was born in the Hermes family, became the civilian idol of the whole of Avalon.
In an interview, Sherlock told reporters who he had been assassinated by, why he had faked his death, and later devised the layout with his best friend Evas Moriarty – eventually finding evidence of trade secretary Drost's espionage.
In fact, many people know that the trade secretary has been investigated and imprisoned for espionage.
However, most people don't know exactly what crime he committed. Even many believe that this is nothing more than a political struggle among the upper echelons of Avalon...... Because Chancellor Drost's reputation among the people is actually quite good.
He is an old man with a strong affinity and strong business ability. As Minister of Trade, he was often interviewed by reporters and explained to civilians in simple terms the benefits of various economic policies.
That is, because the queen's prestige is higher, she can suppress it.
And now, Sherlock didn't hesitate to poke the matter out.
His angle is also very simple -
"The person who tried to assassinate me is closely related to Drost."
Sherlock said very seriously, "He has a close relationship with the Noble Red Society, and has hired murderers many times. I have found a number of pieces of conclusive evidence, which will be sent to the "Glass Steps" newspaper for public announcement in the near future. ”
Drost is friendly with Vice President Boca, who is under the authority of Lawyer York, who is the assassin of Sherlock. Even the explosives he used were smuggled in through the channels provided by Drost; Sherlock was assassinated by a York lawyer because of his investigation of smuggling.
From this point of view, Sherlock said that the person who instructed his assassination was Chancellor Drost, and there was absolutely no problem with that.
At the same time, in the name of protecting the Avalon industry, he raised the tariff on alchemical products three times in a year. However, he himself took the opportunity to smuggle these alchemical products - according to the evidence I have already established, he controlled at least fourteen trading companies and more than sixty warehouses in Lloyd's.
"In the last year alone, its solo trade has reached 170% of Avalon's imports of alchemical products from Irises and the Cult. It can be said that at present, there is basically no alchemy shop in Avalon that does not sell smuggled goods, because he has already seized an absolute advantage in the source of goods.
"Just today, a freighter from Star Antimony will arrive at port. It will be full of alchemical raw materials, and the name of the owner of the goods will also be Charles Drost. Stay tuned. ”
This is intelligence from Ivus.
Before his arrest, Minister Drost had already sent a deposit to the "king". According to the time of the return of the freighter, today is almost the day when the cargo arrives.
Because of Chancellor Drost's absolute control over the port, his methods of smuggling were very simple – even rudimentary.
He would send a large number of merchant ships from Lloyd's loaded with seafood or cheap wine to their destinations.
And upon arrival, the other side of the source will take out the contents of these barrels. Then the goods that need to be transported are loaded in, and then the goods are sent back under the pretext of sending the wrong goods, and they are parked directly in the shipping area of the port. So Drost sent someone to exchange the real goods for it, and the second time was to send it to the real owner.
If you are an ordinary person, this will definitely not work. But no one will Chadrost's goods.
By this time Ivas had arrived and listened around for a while.
Although Lily has been able to fully contain the Shadow Fiend without causing leaks...... But Ivas can't just get up from his wheelchair all of a sudden. Although there are many people who know the secrets of Ivus, at least they should be polite and not too direct.
This holiday is a good excuse.
At this time, Ivas directly let Lily push the wheelchair into the crowd: "In addition, Minister Droist has hired murderers many times, some businessmen who do not give him face, and some are his political enemies.
Others didn't have any reason, including even the mothers of his children. Just because she gave birth to an illegitimate daughter to him, she planned to assassinate both his mother and daughter. ”
"Do you have any evidence?"
I don't know who was in the crowd and asked suddenly.
Ivas affirmed, "Of course, because I'm the witness to this—"
As he spoke, Ivus reached out and pulled Lily behind him.
"My friend, my valet and my sister who took care of me since I was a child...... Lily Drost. It was the victim of his assassination. It was because of this that Sherlock and I caught him.
"—and before that, her mother was the victim!"
Mr. Ivers does not intend to explain too complex political and economic issues to journalists.
Many of the bills signed by Trost are too difficult to explain. These journalists themselves are not professional, and if they are asked to translate a second time, the content that will end up in the ears of readers will inevitably be unrigorous.
So Ivas had a different idea from Sherlock - he chose to attack Drost himself directly.
"We still don't know how much intelligence the former trade secretary sold and how much he betrayed us.
"But according to my investigation, the former minister now has four estates of his own in Star Antimony, as well as a viscounty. He became a true star antimony nobleman and established the 'Derrosste Manor'......"
- This is indeed what they investigated, not Ivus.
Although Chancellor Droester is dead, his sons and daughters are now under investigation by the Inspectorate. And the information that Ivus had in hand was fresh and hot, and he had just arrived at the Temple of Silver and Tin this morning. Not even the round table hall is yet to be known.
"Alright, alright!"
At this moment, a young woman wearing a red bishop's robe, with a ponytail and curly hair, smiled and clapped her hands: "There is a final exam today, if the interview is okay, let's go here first!" Let the kids go in for the test first—"
Lady Maya dispersed the crowd and walked over to Ivas with a calm smile on her face.
When everyone around her left, her complexion changed slightly, and she lowered her head a little nervously: "Why are you promoted again, so fast?" ”
"Hurry up, isn't it?"
Ivus asked rhetorically.
Meiya had a headache: "I was just procrastinating a little...... But if I don't give it to you right away this time, it's too fast for you to be promoted. This tantric book must be mastered before the third level, and once it is too much beyond this level, it will be impossible to understand.
"When my class is finished today, you will go home with me. I've lent you the Morning Secret Tantra—it's the reward we promised before, and I haven't forgotten it. ”
Ivus tilted his head slightly, a little dazed in his eyes.
…… You haven't forgotten, but I have forgotten.
When did this happen?
On the other side, a middle-aged man with a somewhat messy hair was standing on the boat, looking expectantly at the approaching horizon in the distance.
The order was so big that he was a little reluctant to hand over the goods directly to them.
For this big business, big customer...... "king" decided to personally follow the delivery.
