William Sykes ... deacon of a manor ... Klein repeated the other party ’s answer in his heart, and turned the topic to the banner and the white rose war.
After chatting a few words, he politely said goodbye and went to another showcase with the butler Walter and his personal servant Richardson to continue his visit. It seems that the encounter just now was a trivial matter, and it was an accidental communication.
Near noon, the Klein on the high-end four-wheeled carriage looked at the bicycle passing by outside, and suddenly said:
"Walter, do you seem to know Mr. William Sykes?"
Walter nodded seriously:
"I saw him when I was working at the Viscount Conrad family.
"He served a member of the royal family, former Count Rustin, Prince Edsac."
He did not hide anything, and detailed the origin of William Sykes introduction again.
Once served prince Edsac? After the prince died because of Beckland Grand Smog Event, he actually had a good life. I do n’t know which manor deacon he was serving ... Maybe he knew some secrets? Klein nodded slightly, and asked no more, thinking to find an opportunity to investigate William Sykes.
If William Sykes really knows something, the royal faction will not let it go, or, he belongs to that faction. In short, investigating him will be a very dangerous thing, so there is no way to delegate Miss Magician, Emlyn White or Miss Quinn I did it ... Miss Sharon's ability is enough, but it may cause her current stable life to be destroyed ... The best way is to go to Hero Bandit Dark Emperor, but the problem is that before stealing to Antigonus family notebook, my investigation of Beckland Grand Smog Event, hope only Confined to the periphery, not disturbing anyone, not bringing unexpected changes ... The Klein seemed to calmly enjoy the street view outside the window, and many thoughts flashed in my heart.
In the end, he decided to endure temporarily, not wanting to destroy the most important thing at the moment.
After having lunch and taking a nap, Klein received education in literary appreciation until the near evening.
After sending away the tutor, he was about to go to the second floor restaurant and suddenly heard the doorbell ringing.
In the voice of ding dong, Klein glanced at Richardson, and the close-fitting male servant stepped forward and opened the door.
There are two policemen in black and white uniforms standing outside. As can be seen from their badges, one is a senior inspector and the other is a sheriff.
"Police officer, what's the matter?" Richardson asked for the employer.
The senior inspector was a thin and tall man with dark hair hidden under his hat, only the temples showed color. He glanced inside the house and smiled gently:
"I come to Mr. Dawn Dantes, there is a case involving him and his butler."
"What case?" Klein walked slowly towards the doorway, "I am Dawn Dantes."
After finishing self introduction, he politely said:
"Two police officers, do not know what to call you?
"If things are troublesome and it takes a long time, it is better to go to my reception room and drink tea while communicating."
The other policeman, the sheriff, was a very heroic lady. She was obviously a little moved and looked at the senior inspector next to her, waiting for the decision of her boss.
—— Because of the relationship between Goddess of the Night church's and Ruen police system, there are quite a few female police officers. However, due to the influence of other beliefs and social trends, they are still subject to a certain degree of discrimination in promotion and positions Most of them are dominated by internal clerks, and there is also an invisible ceiling in the rising space.
The senior inspector smiled and smiled:
"No tea, but we have to ask your servants."
He paused and finally got to the point:
"Mr. Dawn Dantes, do you know this person William Sykes?"
"I met this morning at the Kingdom Museum." Klein vaguely felt that something had changed unexpectedly and asked, "Is he what happened?"
The senior inspector put away a smile and said:
"He died, died in a hotel near the Kingdom Museum."
"Dead?" Klein didn't hide his surprise and surprise.
I just met him, and he died?
Has he been long noticed?
The senior inspector nodded seriously:
"Yes, the cause of death is more complicated, and the possibility of being murdered cannot be ruled out."
"What about his female partner?" Klein frowned and asked, "When I met him, he had a female partner."
"The lady is his mistress. When she left the hotel, William Sykes was still alive. At this point, the hotel ’s waiters can be sure because they later delivered red wine." The senior inspector simply said introduction, "Leave After the Kingdom Museum, where did you go? "
"I came back here directly, lunch, sleep, and class, my servant, my neighbor, my literary appreciation teacher, can prove this point." Klein answered frankly.
He immediately turned his head to Richardson:
"Go and ask Walter to come over."
Soon, butler Walter walked down second floor wearing white gloves and answered the same question.
After obtaining the consent of Dawn Dantes, the two police officers questioned the servants such as Richardson and found no problems.
They did not stay, politely said goodbye, and visited the neighbors around them.
Klein has n’t been affected by this incident, and up to second floor, have dinner.
After that, the time passed by in a leisurely reading and reading newspaper. Before going to sleep, Klein looked at the night scene outside the window and waited for Richardson, the close-fitting male servant, to collect the fruits in the room.
Suddenly, he asked without turning his head:
"What did Walter do in the afternoon?"
"I have been dealing with various affairs and have not left." Richardson replied in a low voice.
Klein nodded slightly, and did n’t ask any more, I was a bit doubtful if I thought too much.
Hoo ... He slowly sighed, walked to the bed and lay down.
Sleep into the middle of the night, Klein's spirituality suddenly touched, and the whole person woke up.
He raised his eyebrows lightly, got up and left the bed, walked to the window, and opened a gap between the curtains.
Under the dim moonlight, in the deep night, a figure carefully reached the outside wall from the garden path and turned over.
He has a broad forehead, dark black hair, and serious brown eyes. It is the housekeeper Walter.
"Agile and smooth movement, either a long-trained person or a low sequence Extraordinary ..." Klein watched this scene and made a preliminary judgment in his mind.
He saw Walter walking along the shadow of the street, all the way to the sewer entrance that Harula had entered before, removed the manhole cover, climbed down, and did not forget to recover.
Why are everyone so skilled at climbing the sewers? In the middle of the night before, Mr. Butler should not have done it, otherwise my spirituality will definitely have an early warning. After all, he left from my "territory" ...... This shows that he is in other places before he becomes my butler Action ... Klein slightly hooked the corner of the mouth, returned to the bed, and took out the iron cigarette case from the pillow.
He wants to manipulate Resentful Soul Senor, track the housekeeper Walter, and see what the other party is doing.
I hope not to exceed 100 meters, otherwise I have to enter the sewer ... Klein silently said, while returning to the back of the gap in the curtain.
His Secret Puppet Senor immediately jumped to the gas street lamp beside the sewer entrance with the mysterious connection between different mirrors, then penetrated the manhole cover and followed silently.
After seeing Walter for more than ten meters, Klein turned to a more secluded and dark passage, with moss and dirty things on the wall.
Suddenly, this housekeeper stopped and wondered who he was talking to:
"Why are you so impulsive?
"Why not wait for a better opportunity?"
Soon, a female voice that was slightly hoarse due to weakness responded to Walter ’s queries:
"This is the best opportunity.
"Wait for him to return to the manor, and do not know how long it will come out again."
"Why do you still suffer such a serious injury?" Walter said with some worry.
The female voice chuckled:
"William Sykes is stronger than you and I am, and it is probably the only way to meet his secret identity.
"No matter what, I finally got a clue from him. After so long, I finally have a chance to get closer to the truth."
"You don't have to be so anxious." Walter said silently.
The weak female voice chuckled:
"I have sold my soul to Evil God, and the only meaning in life is revenge."
Walter rarely has sighed:
"You continue to hide here, I will prepare food for you until you recover.
"If there is an accident, please contact me the old way."
The weak female voice said silently for a long time:
"When he was alive, there were many subordinates who claimed to be loyal. After his death, only a few people still remembered him and were willing to take risks for him. You surprised me the most."
"He was the first aristocrat to treat me like that, and the one I really wanted to be loyal to." Walter responded lowly.
The Klein who used Secret Puppet to hear these conversations vaguely understood the truth:
After the death of Prince Edsac, a small number of people loyal to him secretly investigated the truth of his suicide. Walter is one of them. However, he is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence on the surface and using his identity to provide some relief ... This It should be the extra development mentioned by Arrods the Magical Mirror ...
Klein immediately let Resentful Soul Senor go invisible, dive into the secluded and hidden passage, see Walter standing sideways, talking with people, and where he is half blocked, there is a woman in a black dress sitting against the wall, face Quite pale.
After listening to the words of Walter, the woman laughed in her throat and looked towards the exit:
"You should leave, be careful to be noticed."
Her turning her head made Klein see her clearly. Her face was slightly round, her eyes were slender, her temperament was mild, and she was secretly hidden. She was an excellent and charming girl, and also an Klein's "acquaintance":
Triss!
Triss Chick!
