The two nobles were still talking, but Angel's mind was no longer in the small carriage.

She picked up her handbag, pretended to rummage through the items, and pressed the "Crimson Eye" inside, centering on the carriage, and all living creatures within a radius of 50 meters came to her mind. By this time they had returned from the outskirts of the North End to the vicinity of the city, but as evening approached, there were not many pedestrians and carriages on the streets, and Angel quickly filtered through all the figures in the area, and found no trace of the extraordinary.

Of course, maybe the other party's sequence is far beyond herself, far beyond the range that the "Crimson Eye" can detect, but if she is targeted by such a stalker, her magic mirror warning cannot only be slightly touched.

Or, the other party is within 50 meters of the horse-drawn carriage from a distance?

Letting go of the magical item, the whisper in Angel's ear slowly disappeared, and a slightly concerned greeting came from Glerint:

"Miss Irene, what's wrong with you?"

When she came back to her senses, she noticed that Audrey and Glerint were both looking at her with curiosity in their eyes.

"I'm sorry, my 'soothsayer' was a little touched just now," she found herself now able to pull out similar lies at will without blushing, "It seems like someone is following us." ”

"What!"

The biggest reaction was the only male in the carriage, Viscount Glerint, who had only gradually recovered his rosy cheeks after coming out of the strange classroom, and instantly turned pale.

He pulled the curtain on the car window, looked out, and retracted his head after a moment: "I didn't notice, no, there were a lot of carriages outside, I'm not sure if someone was following us." ”

Audrey was calmer, I don't know if it was the peculiarity of the extraordinary, or if she was by nature, she also looked out, and then looked at Angel: "Miss Irene, can you determine the location of the stalker?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can only vaguely feel a hint of malice, but it's not strong, the other party shouldn't have any intention of making a move, maybe just trying to follow us to the accommodation."

Angel replied honestly.

"But we weren't conspicuous at the party, we only bought £300 and didn't bid for anything else, so how could we be targeted?"

Your Excellency, 300 pounds is already a lot, and the poor people of the East End may even die for 3 pounds......

Angel did not say these words, but looked at the calm Audrey, who frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"I've been to this party twice, and I haven't been followed, and the party organizers have fully considered the possibility of being followed, and everyone left through different exits...... Unless it's the organizer himself who sends a subordinate to follow us, it's a breeze for him.

"The first two meetings, Hugh and Furth were present, and no stalkers were found, and this time we also switched to unmarked cheap carriages, and as Glerint said, the 300-pound deal would not be coveted, isn't it......?"

Angel's heart hung in the air.

Hugh and Firth followed Audrey to a party and no one followed her, but when I went with her, I attracted stalkers, did she think there was something wrong with me......

Fortunately, Audrey didn't think about it in this direction, but looked at Glerint:

"Glerint, I think the other party should still be coming for me, or 'Count Hall's daughter', and later we will change carriages and return to your mansion according to the original route, and I will transfer to the carriage of the Hall family and leave."

"Don't you need to inform Hibbert? I have a telegram installed at home, wouldn't it be better for you to wait at my house first, and let him send someone to pick you up? ”

Still a little worried, the viscount replied as he kept looking out the window.

"There's no need, if the other party is really going to kidnap me, it was a better place when I was in the northern suburbs just now, and if he just wants to follow, it doesn't make sense for my brother to send more people, well, but you're right, I can wait at your house for a while, maybe the other party can know the difficulty and retreat."

Audrey said with a confident smile.

Looking at her shining green eyes, Angel always felt that this "audience" seemed to have some plan.

Pretending not to notice the stalker's carriage, the carriage went on as usual, and after two circles around the North End, the men changed to another carriage and returned to the Viscount Glerint Mansion in Queens.

Angel left through the side door at Audrey's behest and politely declined the Viscount's offer to send her a carriage to take her, walked a few hundred meters, and then used the witch's stealth ability to erase herself in a no-man's corner and return the way she came.

She waited for about half an hour at the door of the Viscount's house, when a carriage with the Earl of Hall's coat of arms pulled out of the main entrance and slowly left.

Using Crimson Eyes, she sees the bright red figure of Audrey in the carriage, as well as her otherworldly dog.

A minute later, another featureless carriage came from across the street, made a casual detour, and followed Audrey far away.

Looks like it's him...... With such a long distance, it's no wonder that the stalker wasn't found with Crimson Eyes before.

Angel confirms the stalker and quietly leaves.

She agreed with Audrey's opinion that if the other party had some kind of malice, he should have done it as early as the outskirts of the North District, and he was probably just trying to confirm Audrey's identity.

Is it really a problem with the "audience" potions? At the Tarot meeting, the Hanged Man once shared information about a secret organization called the "Psychological Alchemy Society", who held the potion of the "audience" pathway, and liked to hide in the city, secretly influencing the decisions of the upper echelons through their extraordinary abilities, so that they could develop in their favor.

This is some kind of "entrance examination" for them, and Audrey, who has already become an "audience", is ready to take this opportunity to infiltrate the psychological alchemy society and seek follow-up potions?

"Is the divination accurate?"

In Severia Langdon's mansion, Angel and the Witch of Pleasure sit in a brightly lit living room, sharing information they have gained during the day.

"Yes, they are plotting against a lady named Mary Gale, who is also a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Commission......"

Angel told Severia about the divination she had found in the Hale family's luxurious villa, and the latter frowned and thought about it, forgetting to eat the pastry he was holding.

However, the pastries and tea here are indeed inferior to Audrey's, and the black tea she prepares for entertaining guests seems to be called "Queen's Black Tea", which is not cheap when you hear it......

She was comparing the financial disparity between the "Count" and the "Baron", and Severia had come to her senses and continued to ask:

"What do you think? These aristocrats rushed to join the commission of inquiry, in order to disintegrate and divide them internally, and eliminate the threat? ”

"That's what I thought at first, but I changed my mind after talking to Viscount Gleilint."

Angel pondered the words and replied carefully, knowing that her conclusions would most likely affect the follow-up of the witch and even the witch sect behind her.

"Glerint and Hibbert Hall seem to genuinely want to join the committee and do something meaningful for Beckland, and for the entire kingdom of Rune. Moreover, the eldest son of Count Hall had to deal with an ordinary woman, and there was no need to make any great effort to conspire. ”

"Hmph, I think this is very much in line with the approach of these nobles, who want to solve some stumbling blocks, but don't want to get their hands dirty." Severia sneered and said, "Glerint inherited his father's mines and factories, and should naturally stand on the opposite side of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, and even more so is the Earl Hall's family, although the Count is a top banker, but there are also many industries, the business of the Constance Coal and Steel Complex is all over the Northern Continent, and there are even rumors that he has already mastered a large part of the kingdom's mines, and if the relevant laws are implemented, his industrial losses will be very large, and there are good reasons to hinder the establishment and implementation of the bills." ”

Angel shook her head, she had only a vague idea in her mind, but in the conversation with Severia, she gradually figured it out and understood what Hibbert was going to do.

"Isn't the loss of other factories big? The commission's findings will inevitably push the kingdom to set stricter standards for the discharge of waste water and smog, and require factories to upgrade equipment and improve processes, which will be the same difficulties for every plant involved.

"And as a committee member, you can understand these standards in advance, respond in advance, meet the requirements, and then you can use the bill to squeeze your opponents and gain a greater advantage, and they can afford these losses, but their opponents may not."

She thought of a saying in her previous life: first-class enterprises set standards, and second-rate enterprises do brands.

"Then they dealt with the members of the committee, did it ......?"

Halfway through her speech, Severia's eyes lit up, and she seemed to think of the truth behind it.

"Yes, they should have chosen Ms. Mary as a 'target' to build momentum for the committee, maybe it was a threatening letter, maybe it was a lame and failed attack, and then the committee would come forward to expose it, denounce those who were 'obstructing the work of the committee,' raise public attention, incite public anger, push for follow-up investigations, and introduce relevant bills."

Angel concluded.

This is her instinct as an "instigator", and at the same time it is consistent with divination, and with her own conclusions about Gleilint and the image of Hibbert Hall, whom he calls "zealous for the commission of inquiry".
