Start with the Readers Chapter 111: Roman’s fiancé (4/7)
"But now, I can only rely on you." Judy spread her hands. Since she was dragged by Susan to find Abner, and the other party also agreed to start an investigation, then she didn't have to worry about it anymore. The characters played show flaws.
"You just said that there is a problem with 'maybe', what exactly is going on?" Abner frowned and asked.
Speaking of which, Roman's original engagement partner, Abner, knew him. Although he was not very familiar with him and hadn't announced his name, he also had nodding acquaintances when they got together.
In the impression of the original owner, because he was born in a branch of a noble family, and his parents still held a lot of shares in several steam machinery factories, Roman's engagement partner was a rather arrogant person, but his temperament was not bad. Roman and the friends around her are also very polite, so the reputation is not bad, which has attracted many female students to envy Roman.
"Actually, the story is very simple. Your classmate Roman has been aware of her fiancé Alex's estrangement these days, and has been very worried. A chance encounter, she saw Mr. Alex courting a lady, so Can't help but come forward to the theory.
"I didn't expect that such behavior not only did not get the apology it deserved, but was also severely reprimanded by her fiancé.
"Miss Roman was reprimanded by her father because of the school club, and now she is reprimanded by someone she likes, so she jumped into the river when she couldn't think about it...
"Although it is normal to fall in love with someone else, from Miss Roman's description of her fiancé, I can see that Mr. Alexis was a very self-disciplined person who was very good at controlling his emotions. Be polite to everyone.
"Such a person, even if he likes his lover very much, shouldn't embarrass his fiancée so much in public.
"The transformation of a person is so huge, I have to wonder what is wrong behind it."
After listening to Judy's analysis, Abner nodded thoughtfully, and added a sentence following the other party's words:
"So, it's not that Alec wants to plot something on that lady, or that lady has a problem, which affects Alec."
"I think so too...and according to my experience in handling cases in the past, in such cases, there are often problems with both parties!" After Judy seriously reminded her, she smiled again, and said playfully, " Well, that's all I know, the rest depends on your ability, Mr. Detective."
I always feel that the words "famous detective" and "hero" that you people who know the inside story are mocking me...
Abner complained secretly, but with a serious expression on his face, he asked solemnly: "Then ma'am, let me make one final confirmation, are you really willing to entrust me to find out the truth behind the Alec incident?"
The one who acquires the knowledge he has painstakingly acquired must have the will to acquire it himself.
This is the new rules for playing the role of "Wisdom Keeper" after he avoided reporters in the office for the past few days and dealt with a few minor troubles from his servants.
That is to say, someone must first express his desire to obtain a certain "knowledge" to him, and then he will inform the other party of the corresponding "knowledge" obtained through exploration, so that this "knowledge" has the opportunity to spread and use , and will never be easily lost or cut off, this is a relatively complete performance of the "Knowledge Keeper".
Although Judy didn't understand the deep meaning of this, seeing Abner's serious expression, she also suppressed her smile and said seriously: "I do have the will to know the truth."
"Then, I have accepted this commission, and I will bring the truth to you and Roman as soon as possible." Abner said this, but suddenly saw the girl in front of him pull a few withered yellow roots from her head. Hay's hair was handed over, so he asked inexplicably, "What is this for?"
"This is a reward for you in advance. Don't underestimate them, each of them can poison an adult curly-haired baboon in a few seconds." Judy explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Abner's fingers that were about to touch his hair stopped abruptly.
"Haha, don't worry. They can only be toxic when mixed with alcohol, and they are usually very safe. If you want to plot against someone, just grind them into powder and mix them into beer. I guarantee that they will be colorless and tasteless, even if It's hard for a demigod to notice...Well, my father has been tricked by me a few times." Judy said happily, as if recalling something interesting.
Then being your father is really a high-risk occupation... At least it must be more resistant to poison than the curly-haired baboon...
Abner murmured a few words in his heart, and secretly analyzed those few hairs with the "Pure White Eye". Put it away.
"By the way, after all, I made them with my extraordinary ability. After leaving me, the power will gradually lose... In short, the poisonous effect will gradually decrease after three months, and it will completely lose effect in about half a year." Zhu Seeing Abner tidy up his hair, Tie added another sentence.
"I understand." Abner nodded, and he already knew this when he analyzed it just now.
After talking about the entrustment, Abner asked about the situation of Roman, the original owner's classmate.
"Hey, although after the bishop's patient persuasion, the girl's emotions have eased, but I can still feel the pain and negativity in her heart. This is also the moment I asked to live on her behalf for a few days, she did not hesitate The reason why she agreed without hesitation...she was escaping from reality." Judy sighed.
It seems that Roman has a deep affection for her fiancé... No matter what reason that Alec has, it is too much to treat his fiancée who loves him wholeheartedly!
When Abner was thinking this way, he heard Judy say again:
"I hope that Miss Roman can get out of this relationship. His fiancé may have the qualifications to become a successful businessman or politician, but he is definitely not a good match for a lady."
Abner didn't want to go deeper on this topic. After all, he didn't have much emotional experience, so he really didn't have the right to speak, so he changed the subject and said, "Have you thought about how to deal with the aftermath after using Roman's identity? Will you give it to me?" Does she cause trouble?"
"She is innocent, isn't she? The authorities won't do anything to the truly innocent." Judy blinked and continued, "Besides, according to our arrangement, Roman's identity will not be exposed at all. There is a problem. After all, the Roman I pretended to enter the ball through your relationship, and if I am suspected, you will not be able to escape."
I'm just worried about this, so I asked... Now that you have the arrangements, you can feel a little more at ease... But you still have to plan your escape plan in advance, so that if something goes wrong, you don't have a backup.
Abner has a certain amount of trust in Bishop Utravsky and the "Desolate Ones", but in any case, this trust cannot reach the level of Hexiu's unreserved level, so he should be prepared Still needed.
The same is true for the other party, otherwise he would not have told him the specific plan...Of course, this may also be to protect him. After all, the less you know, the easier it is to get away with it afterwards.
After that, the two lifted the spiritual blockade, and deliberately chatted and laughed in the tone of classmates, which deepened the appearance of "the two have a good relationship" and paved the way for taking "Roman" to the dance on Friday.
Although no one has seen their performance so far, if there is a "detective" to "backtrack" afterwards, it can be misleading.
After the two walked out of the room talking and laughing, Susan stepped forward with some doubts and asked, "Since when did you get along so well?"
"Roman was in a bad mood, I told a joke to make her happy..." Abner thought for a while and explained.
"What joke? I tried to comfort Roman for a long time but failed. Abner, you are really capable." Susan asked curiously with bright eyes.
"That's a story about a curly-haired baboon... One day the baboon's child took off his curly hair and ground it, mixed it into fruit and ate it..."
For a while, Abner didn't think of any funny jokes, so he could only make up random things.
On the other hand, Judy was a little at a loss. Why does this story sound familiar?
…
In the folk herbal medicine shop on Leleton Street in Jorwood District, Alec, dressed as a successful person, watched the fat pharmacist who looked like a village witch doctor put several strange herbal powders into glass bottles, and then dripped A few drops of rooster blood made the corners of his mouth twitch, and his black eyes were full of suspicion.
After stirring evenly and heating to a boil, the pharmacist turned his head and looked at the big customer introduced by someone in front of him, took a pen and wrote on the paper: "Go back and ask the patient to drink it as soon as possible, according to your description In that case, as well as the toxic samples provided, the medicine this time should make the patient recover by about 30%.”
Then, he seemed to want to write something~IndoMTL.com~ but he seemed to feel that it was inconvenient to use a pen, so he sighed and gave up.
"Is this really useful?" Alec still didn't believe it, but since the lady ordered it, he still didn't question it directly. It's just that a pharmacist who can't even heal his own vocal cords can really dispense medicine that is useful to that powerful lady?
Of course, believe it or not, he took out the cash of 20 gold pounds and handed it to the pharmacist in front of him. Rent a carriage.
After he sat down, the coachman drove the carriage and started slowly.
In the car, Alec held the glass bottle and subconsciously looked at the pedestrian scenery outside through the car window. Suddenly, his spirit moved, and he saw a "man" with an ordinary face but a very delicate appearance coming from the other side of the road, and met his gaze for a moment.
"Looking at the shape of the face... it should be a girl in men's clothes..." Alec made a habitual judgment and stopped paying attention.
In this era, there are many women who disguise themselves as men to work. Moreover, it is not uncommon for some ladies from rich families to sneak out to play in this less successful disguise.
