Start with the Readers Chapter 110: The first commission after becoming famous (3/7)
"We hope that you can get me or Judy a chance to enter the ball venue through Detective Essinger's contacts."
"You don't need to take risks for the rest, we will handle it properly, and it will not bring you any danger."
Speaking of this, Karen looked at Abner with a smile, waiting for his reply.
This is really a coincidence, I just received the invitation not long ago...
Hearing this request, Abner was taken aback for a moment, and then asked after pondering for a moment: "Viscount Karen, why don't you use your blood relationship to get the invitation letter? And this kind of ball for ordinary people, with You can easily get in without an invitation, right?"
Karen shook his head with a smile, and explained: "This is not an ordinary ball. It is said that there will be a big person coming to give a speech. The inspection on the scene will definitely be very strict. If you use the blood relationship, you will definitely be attacked by the military." The key review of the Nine Offices."
"Big guy? Which big guy?" Abner asked curiously. Mike's invitation didn't mention it.
"I don't know who it is... but it should be a member of the royal family." Karen said here, looking at Abner who was obviously a little moved, and added, "Of course, we will not I ask you to help me with this for nothing. If I get the admission qualification, I will give you a rubbing copy of a set of mystic books collected by the blood race."
Abner's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I was actually invited to this dance, and I was allowed to bring a companion, so I don't need to bother the teacher. But..."
"If you have any request, just ask." Viscount Karen promised with a smile.
"I want to buy an extraordinary material from the blood race, and I need your help to convey it." Abner said with implicit expectation.
"What material?" Karen didn't think it was too troublesome to be a middleman, and it might make a difference, so why not do it.
"The heart of the Elder Tree." Abner exhaled, and stated his goal.
Karen glanced at him and said meaningfully: "So you are really a 'detective'..." Then he changed the subject and said affirmatively: "Yes, I will help you with this matter. I will Remember that there should be this material in the treasure house."
"Great! Thank you, Viscount Karen." After Abner thanked him sincerely, he thought that the identities of these "Desolate Ones" seemed to be unable to withstand investigation, so he couldn't help asking:
"Although I can bring a companion to enter, since there are important people here, the censorship may not be relaxed. What capacity do you want to enter with me?"
It's definitely not good to be a "Desolate Man". Although this is an official member of the Orthodox Church, he is also an out-and-out foreigner.
At this time, Judy, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly interjected: "I have a extraordinary item, which records the transformation ability of the 'faceless man', and it can be disguised as a clean, investigation-proof man." Go in with you as a local."
"What identity? If it is someone who has nothing to do with me, I'm afraid it will be suspected by the security guards of MI9, right? If you are under special surveillance, it will be difficult for you to get close to Ms. Windsor." Although Abner did not I know how the "Desolate Ones" plan to deal with Windsor, but once they are stared at to death, no matter how powerful they are, it will be difficult to use them.
"That's right... Then in the next two days, I will use a disguised identity to get acquainted with you, and pretend to have a good conversation, so that it won't seem awkward to go to the prom together." Judy thought for a while, and immediately A solution is given.
"This is a way...but has the 'Faceless Man' ability recorded in your Extraordinary Item been used for so long?"
"Don't worry, this ability has been recorded more than 20 times, and each time it can last for at least six hours, even if you use it for another week, there will be no problem." Judy replied confidently.
However, why are there so many 'faceless men' recorded? Is it because you change your face every time you get into trouble?
Abner secretly complained, but kept smiling on the surface. What he didn't expect was that this complaint was actually very close to the truth.
At this moment, Captain Arsenov, who had been silent all this time, made a final decision:
"Okay, let's do what we just discussed. Prepare yourselves, and don't make it difficult for Mr. Blaine."
"Yes, Captain!"
…
Wednesday, August 1st.
After breakfast, Abner glanced at the date on the "Becklund Morning Post" subscribed by the teacher, and couldn't help sighing: It's already August, time flies so fast... This is also the last one It's the comfortable time of the month, and from then on, the Loen Kingdom and even the whole world are one big event after another.
It was not until the bell of the Holy Wind Cathedral rang in the distance, seven times in a row, that Abner recovered from this emotion, stood up slowly, went to his cupboard, and took out the clothes.
A black vest, a formal suit of the same color, copper-rimmed glasses, a half-top hat, and a faint bookish atmosphere. After looking at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, Abner greeted the teacher's servants and went to go out.
But at this moment, two young girls walked in together from outside. Their eyes lit up when they saw Abner, and they walked over quickly.
The girl walking in front was wearing a beige dress and a small lady's top hat. She had faint freckles on her face. She was Abner's junior in public school and the daughter of Sheriff Fiona of the North District. susan.
Abner also recognized the girl behind Susan. She was also a classmate of the original owner, that is, Roman, who joined the Copusti Teachers' Club through Susan's words at the last dance.
"Big detective, why don't you talk? Have you forgotten your old classmates and old friends when you become famous?" Susan walked up to her and joked with Abner with a smile.
"Why? I just saw that you were a little surprised... did you come to me for something?" Abner was indeed a little surprised. As far as he knew, Susan had been receiving some lady's etiquette education during this period, so she shouldn't have Run out to play.
"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? When we were in the club, apart from Jane, our relationship was the best!" The girl first raised her bar in dissatisfaction, and then pulled Roman behind her, and continued. , "But you guessed it right, we did have an entrustment... No, to be precise, Roman entrusted you."
"What commission? Is it about Teacher Kapusti?" Abner asked curiously.
"Because my mother found a lot of students' parents to jointly exert pressure, Teacher Kapusti has been expelled from the school. He seems to have gone to Tingen to apply for a new position at the moment, and he is not currently in Backlund." Susan vetoed Abner's guess, then pulled Roman, who was hanging his head in frustration, and said helplessly for her:
"This time I came here for Roman's affairs... Her engagement partner seems to have secretly raised a lover. We would like to ask you to find out what kind of relationship they have... If it is really that kind of relationship, we still hope You can take a few photos as evidence."
So, after I became famous, my first commission was to catch rape? After Abner complained in secret, he turned his gaze to Roman who kept his head down. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with Roman, and she didn't seem as sad as she seemed.
"Roman, what's your fiancé's name? Where does he live? How do you know he has a lover?" It's not like Abner didn't do the task of catching **** when he was a "reasoning student". Nature is familiar with the road.
Hearing Abner's question, before Roman said anything, Susan cheered up first, and shouted: "Great, Abner, you agreed to the commission? I thought that after you became a famous detective I don’t bother with such cases.”
Abner smiled and said nothing when he heard the words, and only looked at Roman. He felt more and more that there was something wrong with this classmate. You must know that in the original owner's memory, she was much more lively than Susan, even if she was hit, she shouldn't be so silent.
"I want to talk to Abner alone about this matter..." It took Roman a long while to pluck up the courage to say this, and then she turned her head to look at Susan again, and said expectantly, "Is that okay? "
Susan was a little surprised when she heard the words, but she soon felt that it involved her friend's privacy, and she really didn't fit to hear it, so she nodded understandingly and said, "Then I'll wait for you here."
Ebner also wanted to hear what this student was thinking, so he took her into his office. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly discovered that the entire room was blocked by a spiritual wall !
Abner was taken aback immediately, quickly opened his pure white eyes, and at the same time took the revolver in his gun pouch in his hand.
"Abner, don't be so nervous, it's me!" At this moment, Roman behind him suddenly changed his voice, and his proficient Loen language also became with a southern accent.
"Judy?" Abner breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not relax his guard, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come here in the image of my classmate?"
"It's me...your classmate was deeply hit because of her fiancé~IndoMTL.com~ I couldn't think of jumping into the Tussock River last night, and she survived after being rescued by me...She is currently in Harvest Church Caring for self-cultivation, Karen will take care of her, and you can visit her at any time." Afraid that Abner might misunderstand, Judy explained the ins and outs in one breath.
"After learning from her that you are her classmate, I feel that her identity is much better than the one I prepared before. After all, you are classmates, even if you go to the prom together, you won't arouse much suspicion. .”
"So that's how it is..." Abner nodded, and then asked again, "Then how did Susan get involved?"
"Hey, don't mention it. Not long after I pretended to be Roman and lived in her house, this Miss Susan came to the door on her own initiative, and seemed to be dragging me to chat endlessly because she was tortured by etiquette teaching for too long...I didn't Under the law, I can only talk about the betrayal of my fiancé and change the subject, whoever wants to be dragged to you by her outraged..." Judy sighed and continued, "I originally wanted to help Roman investigate her engagement. If there are problems that the subject may have, it is used as compensation for temporarily occupying her identity."
"But now, I can only rely on you."
