The Whispering Verses Chapter 2438: Dance and Trial
Chapter 2439 Dance and Interrogation
At the banquet that night, almost all the guests were extremely happy, even excited.
Miss Belindel concluded afterwards that most people in this city have seen the signs that big things are coming, and before such a "catastrophe" that cannot be avoided or avoided, everyone is looking for the last resort. fun of.
Margaret’s purpose of holding this banquet was to promote the royal family’s disaster relief policy and further strengthen the royal family’s influence. Judging from the purpose, she was quite successful. Not only did the public fundraising before the ball receive far more financial support than originally planned, but even the local nobles privately expressed their willingness to bypass the seven major families and negotiate with the royal family alone. Issues.
"They are worried that they will have nowhere to go after the destruction of Moon Bay, so they have established a good relationship with us in advance."
While being hugged and dancing by Shade, Margaret was in an unusually good mood and said to Shade with a smile:
"Although it is wrong to say this, the major incident in Yuewan has had a positive effect on the Anru family."
"The purpose of your trip has basically been achieved, and you have done a great job, Margaret."
Xia De also praised, which made Her Royal Highness the Princess feel better:
"My eldest brother Samuel is currently dealing with the reorganization of the Kingdom's Army, but I heard a few days ago that my second brother William also wants to come to Moon Bay, saying he wants to assist me."
Her face showed an expression of disgust and disgust:
"Everyone can see clearly what he wants to do. My people reported to me secretly, and my father reprimanded him in private and said some unpleasant words."
After saying that, he laughed again:
"Although MI6 and Gray Gloves will definitely continue to fight openly and secretly here after I leave Moon Bay and finish my visit, at least my mission is completed."
She raised her head slightly and looked at Shade:
“But after leaving this time, I don’t know when we will see you again.”
"At least you're not returning to Willendale tomorrow."
Shade said, Margaret nodded, biting her lower lip as Shade twirled her around to the dance music:
"I kind of know why the princess from the North likes to go to the opera so much. If you have time after this incident is over, will you be willing to go to the opera with me again?"
Xia De blinked:
"Of course."
Margaret resisted the urge to kiss him:
"Then, I need to prepare a few more sets of skirts in advance."
The party lasted until late at night. Shade did not go home immediately. Instead, he returned to the ship and the manor to visit Dorothy and Lesia respectively.
On the ship, while talking to Dorothy and Luvia, who had put on their pajamas and were about to rest - they lived in the next room of the first-class cabin, the sudden violent shaking of the ship caused Dorothy to fall into Shade's In arms.
Luvia just grabbed Shade’s shoulders:
"What's wrong?"
But it was not an enemy attack. When Miss Eleser was found in the captain's cabin, the girl also wearing pajamas explained:
"Earthquake, very strong earthquake. Don't worry, at least it hasn't caused a tsunami yet."
Xia De wanted to ask for further details, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at her chest, and then his face turned red immediately:
"Okay, I'll go to the manor to check on the situation."
When Shade walked away, Luvia folded her hands in front of her chest and asked the boat girl:
"You didn't wear a bra on purpose?"
Dorothy also looked at Miss Elisa, and then immediately folded her hands on her chest.
The blue-eyed girl said slightly proudly:
"This is my home, and besides Shade, there is no man on the boat, not even a male mouse. I was in such a hurry when I came out of the room just now that I may have forgotten to wear it."
Belindle Manor was also not greatly affected by the earthquake. Although this manor is old, it has been renovated and reinforced by witches over the years. Theoretically, all nearby houses will collapse before it is destroyed here.
When Shade returned home on this Friday night, only Miss Carina and a group of maids were left at home.
Although the night was already dark, the duchess was still reading a book on the sofa and waiting for Shade to come back.
When Shade came in, she smiled and opened her arms to hug him:
"Welcome back, it's really hard work."
She would not say such words when Dorothy or Lesia were around:
"I'm leaving for Yuewan tomorrow night. My luggage has already been packed. You don't have to go out to greet me then. Bella and the others will be responsible for taking care of me."
"The situation in Yuewan is very bad now. Forget it, don't talk about such things tonight."
"Go take a shower, the smell of perfume on your body is really complex."
The red-haired witch pretended to be disgusted and said, and when Shade came to the bedroom wearing pajamas, the lady who looked like a white jade sculpture was already lying on her side on the bed waiting for him.
The time came on Saturday. Since I had already agreed with the doctor that the group meeting would be suspended this week, Shade didn’t have to think about coming back in the afternoon.
After breakfast, he walked outside the door as usual and walked a circle of cats to prevent people from discovering that "Detective Hamilton has not left the house for several days since Duke Carina stayed overnight."
After returning home, I was surprised to find a freshly delivered package on the front steps:
"Huh? Who will send me something? Didn't Miss Gothe already send a letter at the beginning of the month?"
Looking at the sender above, it turned out to be Captain Rades.
"No, it's the Major."
Xia De reminded himself.
At the end of the Green Lake negotiations, Captain Rades was promoted to major due to some unexplained merits and is currently serving in the Tobesk Navy. The package he sent was a local specialty for Shade, which was also a way to maintain the relationship between the two.
The things sent from such a distant seaside will definitely not be seafood or fish, but local travel souvenirs, a large jar of honey that is easy to store, and a model ship in a glass bottle.
Along with the package came a long letter, in which Captain Rades talked about his new life in a strange environment and once again expressed his gratitude to Shade.
However, Shade didn't have time to write him a reply right away. After all, today was the last day before the "Day of Suspicion", and he still had a lot to do.
The meeting time agreed with Mr. Albert was at 9:30 in the morning, but in order to avoid being late, Shade took the cat in the form of a toy and went directly to Spider Alley.
It was still early when we arrived at the Spider Lane autopsy room, but Mr. Bernhardt was already here, and Shade doubted that he had left at all last night. When Shade saw them, the two were working together to tie a resurrected undead to the autopsy table.
There was no coroner other than Mr. Albert in the autopsy room, so Shade joked:
"Are you conducting a necromancy experiment?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Watson, this thing revived inexplicably. It was obvious that this place was not invaded by the fog from outside."
Mr. Bernhardt complained, and Shade pressed the badge on his chest. After praising the Angel of Death in his heart, he placed his hand on the corpse with no apparent cause of death:
"Sleep well."
The body that kept shaking violently was "dead" again. Mr. Albert breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's not that difficult to kill this undead, but it won't be possible to explain to the family of the deceased. You are really a big help."
"How did he die?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the coroner shook his head:
"If you eat wild mushrooms randomly, you will be poisoned and fall to death."
They did not take Shade to see the two vampires caught last night, but directly told Shade the conclusions obtained after the interrogation:
"Carmen Eddington became a vampire and was seduced by Thomas Pidgeon. Carmen Eddington is a musician. Sometimes when she can't find inspiration, she will do some illegal things to improve her spiritual well-being. Looking for excitement. It was also during that period that he met Thomas Pigeon.
Pidgeon has been transporting supplies to the New World for the [Dragon Feast Order]. In order to ensure the safety of the business, he seduced Carmen Eddington into volunteering to become a vampire. ”
Mr. Bernhardt added:
"The cooperation between the two was very pleasant. Although Carmen Eddington did not have the talent to become a ring wizard, the racial talent of the vampire was enough to satisfy him. In return, he was responsible for helping Thomas Pidgeon settle the port. Customs and port authority inspections have expanded Pijin's business at least five times."
"Those vampire dragonborn are also related to them?"
Shad asked, Mr. Albert nodded:
“Some local vampires always have unsatisfactory lives. The two of them introduced these same people who wanted to develop in the New World to contact the [Dragon Feast Order], and then secretly arranged for them to go to the New World. This caused the outflow of our blood, and they In addition to money, the two received regular high-purity dragon blood."
"For those of the same race who cannot control their desire to **** blood, this is second only to the blood of a pure girl."
Mr. Bernhardt introduced, but did not go into detail:
"In this way, let's sort out the evidence. If we local vampires can perform better in the next Battle of Moon Bay and find a way to throw the evidence to the church after the war, the local people will also No more hostility.”
"I have friends in the church. I can tell you in advance that local vampires will also help."
Shad said, Mr. Bernhardt breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's great. Speaking of which, Marquis Molson and Miss Rice also came last night. They helped with the interrogation, which made the interrogation much more efficient. Oh, we met those cultists after you left last night. attack, but it’s not a big problem.”
Seeing him say this, Xia De didn’t ask any more questions:
"What else do those two people know about [Dragon Feast Order]?"
"The sacrificial site will come directly to the city, so the two of them will run so far outside the city."
Mr. Albert said in a deep voice:
"And judging from what they know, the special spatial properties of that sacrificial site are extremely powerful. It can disappear out of thin air, and it can also be directly 'squeezed' into a certain area without damaging other scenes in the area. .
The current speculation is that the sacrificial site either appeared directly in the city center or appeared floating in the air. ”
