Chapter 384: Detective Watson's Investigation
Evas did not leave the Temple of Silver and Tin in the middle of the night, but stayed directly.
A long time ago, Isabel had prepared a room for Ivasse. And the things that Evas had burned when he was reading the Morning Dark Tantra had also been refilled.
After all, there will be many people outside the Griffon's Bridge tonight. There will definitely be some people from the round table hall who come here to block themselves.
Ivas didn't want to meet with people from outside, so it was better not to get himself in trouble.
The next day, the nation's morning newspapers carried the news of Her Majesty's death.
There are more than 300 newspapers in Avalon. Some of them are formal and some are not-so-formal. But regardless of their original reporting style, they still have to honestly report the news of Queen Sophia's death and Queen Isabel's succession to the throne today.
And in these bulletins, which are basically the same, there will also be some newspapers with the magic painting drawn by Yanis.
Although in Avalon, the only newspaper that can carry magic paintings is the Glass Steps. But there is no problem with the use of Master Janis's painting skills as a photograph. Therefore, these magic paintings were also transcribed into negatives by hand and distributed to the major newspapers on the glass island.
As for newspapers in remote areas, it will be two days late. Or simply wait for the state funeral day a week later to send it together.
At this moment, in a street near Garden City in the metropolitan area, a young man in a yellow trench coat and a brown beret is now in his "Watson Detective Agency" and is seriously looking at the newspapers that fill the table - some old newspapers, including the "Glass Steps" that he bought at a great price today.
Andre Watson bit his pen and looked at the few newspapers spread out in front of him in deep thought, his pupils flowing with a blue glow.
He is a detective.
Of course, certainly not as famous as Sherlock. But it's also outstanding.
The metropolitan area is the most prosperous place on the island of Perlis, and at the same time the most populous place. It's not as dangerous as Lloyd's, nor is it like the Red and White Queens, where almost every case has the potential to involve big shots.
It's just a place of busyness – because there are so many people and it's busy.
Because of this, Mr. Watson is often asked by the local inspectorate to help solve difficult cases. As a wise mage, his mind is much better than that of the lawgivers and overseers.
After all, there is only one Sherlock. But the big case of Glass Island can't be solved by him alone.
But at the same time, Andre Watson has another identity...... Or the other two identities.
In fact, he is a spy from Star-Tek. Born in the 1st Special Operations Unit of the Star Antimony Army.
And this unit has another nickname, called "Secret Room". It is mainly responsible for the collection and processing of intelligence.
The reason for this name is that it was originally a nameless secret room before it was numbered and formalized. The early members of the "Twelve Keys" exchanged information and conspired in it. Today, it's Starty's spy and counterintelligence division.
But in addition to this, Andrei has another identity.
He is the child of a high-ranking mage in the Principality of Narcissus and the Child of the Moon.
Although the high-ranking mages of the Principality of Narcissus now swear allegiance to King Star Antimony, of course, there are also seeds of Zionism within. And he was one of them.
In this sense, André can be said to be a double agent - on the one hand, he works for the Star Antimony and is hidden inside Avalon; On the other hand, he serves the Narcissus and steals the information of Star Antimony and sends it to the Mage Tower.
- The Star Antimony people may not be unaware of his evil intentions. Or rather, it would be strange if those mages were loyal to Star Antimony without resistance. But in the face of the general trend, their attitude itself does not matter. As long as Star Antimony can survive steadily, this kind of thinking will naturally lose its foundation after a few generations.
Perhaps it was because of this that he was sent to the Glass Island.
An area behind enemy lines far from Star Antimony and the Duchy of Narcissus, and with a large number of Legalists with the ability to detect lies. As a member of the "Secret Room", he actually does not know any important information that can be traced back to the headquarters - this is the unique style of secrecy of the "Secret Room". The secrets that everyone holds are fragments, and the truth can only be revealed when they are deciphered and put together.
It was already difficult for him to survive in Avalon.
The origin of Star Antimony can't be concealed at all, and people who appear out of thin air are more likely to be exposed. And as Avalon's relationship with Star Antimony deteriorates year by year, the pressure on him here is also increasing.
It took him a long time and effort to gain the trust of the Inspectorate. In recent days, I have begun to feel the skeptical gaze again. Even after the arrest of former Trade Secretary Drost, his side was investigated by the Inspectorate.
At the time, he thought he was going to be discovered.
Thankfully, the spells his father had placed on him were reliable enough.
He was able to infiltrate the "secret room" because his parents protected him - he was sure that he had not been discovered, otherwise he would have been executed or locked up.
When he learned the story of "Miss Crowley", André was quite emotional.
Of course, he didn't know who his colleagues were and what they were doing. This is to prevent someone from betraying their companions.
But that information is too true.
Although he had been in Avalon for many years, he could no longer remember whether the Crowley family had such a third lady - but now that he thought about it, the vague memory seemed to tell him that "it seems to be".
And he was very sympathetic and sympathetic to "Miss Crowley".
- In a sense, he and Miss Crowley were in the same predicament.
He is now one of Star Antimony's most important spies and must obtain important information for Star Antimony, but at the same time, as a Narcissus, he is also thinking about how to betray Star Antimony; Miss Crowley is a pure-blooded Star Antimony, but she also wants to betray Star Antimony because of her forbidden love.
As a member of the "secret room", he knows what kind of resistance and crisis Miss Crowley will encounter in China. Although after she is captured, Star Antimony will definitely trade her back by trading spies...... But her parents and her family will be under very strong pressure because of this!
Even if she is the daughter of an earl, she must pay the price.
Her family will soon pay the price, and she will have to pay for it.
It is precisely because of their similar positions that they resonate. On the one hand, André is hostile to the male protagonist of the story, "Ivas Moriarty", and on the other hand, he is also curious about his charm.
So he was curious, so he went to investigate.
- It turns out that Ivas is a playboy!
When he was in middle school, he messed with flowers every day, and even let the girls quarrel and fight for him;
His girlfriends change every Monday, from his own female teacher in her thirties to her classmate's elementary school sister, all of whom are more than ordinary enthusiasm with him in public;
Even the pair of girls who fought were finally coaxed by him, and the two of them turned enemies into friends, and went together to refute the rumors and try to eliminate the impact of the rumors for him-
And after graduating from high school, it seems as if his leg was broken by the brother of one of his girlfriends and he is in a wheelchair. Later, from the university's student council, the teaching bishop, and even Isabel, who was still a princess, had a close relationship with him.
“…… Such a caring man is not a good match, Miss Crawley! ”
Just as André was worried about his colleague, whom he had never met, he received news of the Queen's death.
After reading his regular newspaper and seeing a picture of Ivas and Queen Isabel in it, he immediately went to buy the "Glass Steps" with magic paintings! Then all the newspapers and intelligence related to Ivas were taken out and analyzed jointly.
Andre watched the magic painting hundreds of times, and analyzed very key information from it-
When Ivas put his hand on Isabel's shoulder, the young queen did not resist or resist. When she looked back at Ivus, there was a palpable joy in her eyes.
And after Eivas put his hand down, Queen Isabel even stepped aside half a step to the side.
If you are an ordinary person, you may think that this is an attempt to keep your distance. But André looked at Isabelle's shoulders and arms, making sure her arms were slightly pulled back as Ivas lowered his hand.
What does that mean?
It shows that she took the initiative to touch Ehuas's hand!
And after that, Ivas put his hands behind his back - maybe a sense of "dodging"?
The half-step that Isabel stepped out of the way made the fact that Ivas was behind her back seem less conspicuous.
It's like the two of them are standing side by side. It's not like a monarch or minister, it's more like a photo of a husband and wife.
Combined with his previous analysis of Isabelle's desire to attack, Andre boldly came to a conclusion:
Isabel will choose to let Ivas accompany her to take pictures alone when the scandal between Ivas and Arestal spreads, just to compete for Ivas from Miss Crowley!
