Start with the Readers Chapter 262: Meet Azik
In the mansion of Duke Negan, in a small private study.
The fat and tall Duke sat on a high-backed chair behind the table, smoking a cigar, and looked at the "Singer of God" and the prime minister of the kingdom, Agushid, and others on the opposite side.
After discussing the possible origin of the strong man who killed Qilingos, they agreed that it should be a high-sequence strong man with unknown motives, and may even come from a new secret organization.
Prime Minister Agusid, the younger brother of Duke Negan, said solemnly:
"We must figure out the identity of that high-sequence powerhouse as soon as possible, figure out what his purpose in coming to Backlund is, figure out whether he is simply chasing and killing Qilingos, and why he wants to kill Qi Lingus." Ringers."
"Singer of God" Ace Snake, who was late due to walking, got up immediately and said:
"I will arrange it immediately, and contact the Church of Evernight and the Church of Steam, and ask them to assist us in the investigation."
"His Majesty the King will also let the military and intelligence agencies cooperate." Prime Minister Agusid nodded and promised.
When the "Singer of God" waited for the outsiders to leave, Duke Negan held a cigar and asked the secretary at the side: "Are any of the guests at the dance venue injured? If so, please arrange an itinerary. Come to visit and give compensation."
His secretary is a slender young man with blond hair and delicate features. He looks refined, calm and introverted. The biggest shortcoming is that the hairline has receded beyond his age.
After hearing the duke's question, the young man opened the note in his hand and read meticulously: "According to the summary of the doctors in the mansion, only Baron Ralph, Lord Wright, and Miss Betty suffered some skin trauma. ..."
"It's much better than I expected...it's all thanks to that Detective Brain's timely shot." Duke Negan sighed, and then asked cautiously, "By the way, how did he catch it? What about the heavy chandelier?"
"He used the 'Golem' of the 'Goddess of the Earth' Church, and that's why he left the mansion in a hurry, because the 'Golem' had to be resealed as soon as possible after it was activated." The blonde secretary reported.
"'Golem'... I remember that this detective also used a 'golem' to save people in the incident at the headquarters of the Daily Observer?" Duke Negan recalled the information he had seen in the past , asked casually.
"Yes, Duke. Abner Bryan is suspected to be the favored person of the Mother Earth, and the Church of the Earth takes great care of him. The 'golem' should be used to protect him personally." The blond secretary gave While answering in the affirmative, he pulled out the information about Abner and put it on the Duke's desk.
Duke Negan was very satisfied with the efficiency of his secretary. After picking up the documents, he glanced at them casually, and then said cheerfully: "It seems that our 'hero detective' seems to be very unlucky. There will always be some problems at the **** and banquets."
With his heart, he naturally wouldn't attribute the fault to irrelevant people, not to mention that Abner helped him recover a lot of losses just now—loss of reputation.
He was just joking when he said that. Seeing that his secretary was still expressionless, he suddenly felt bored, and said to himself: "Earl Hall just came over and told me that he can see through Qilingos' disguise." The credit for this detective is taken on his behalf, so he should be given a reputation reward...
"Hehe, the earl is thinking about his daughter!
"Since that young detective has really helped me, a little compensation for my reputation seems too stingy..."
Speaking of which, the Duke paused, looked at his secretary again, and asked, "Lockhard, how do you think I should reward that detective?"
The blond young man named Lockhard seemed to have been prepared, and replied earnestly without hesitation: "Detective Blaine came from a merchant family, and his family went bankrupt due to the "Corn Bill" more than three months ago. It was also foreclosed... If the Duke can redeem his former residence and return it to him, the detective will be very grateful to you."
Duke Negan nodded appreciatively and said with a smile, "Very well, I will leave this matter to you."
Lockhard responded respectfully, and then asked again seemingly unintentionally: "Duke, where is Miss Hall?"
"Hehe, the most dazzling gemstone in Backlund saved my life... Find someone as soon as possible to bring back the rewards offered by Qilingus from various countries and deliver them to that lady! Well, this matter is also up to you Handle it yourself." Duke Negan waved his hand.
"Yes, my lord." Lockhard replied again.
Then, seeing that the Duke had no other orders, he saluted and withdrew. When the door of the study was closed, his eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he thought to himself: "Could Miss Hall have anything to do with the high-level powerhouse who killed Qilingos? Well, if it is true It has something to do with it, the bounty of almost 30,000 pounds is likely to be handed over to that strong man... Now that I have the convenience of handling it myself, I can just monitor the flow of that money!"
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, after Abner escorted Hazel's family to the Harvest Church, he returned to the villa on Kingston Street in a carriage.
Speaking of which, he didn't intend to pretend to be credited for catching the chandelier, but neither Hazel himself nor Mrs. Macht and his wife wanted her to be in the limelight, so he, the "heroic detective", had no choice but to stand firm. The scalp recognized it.
As for why the Hazel family is unwilling to show off... If the matter of a slender girl catching a chandelier weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand makes news, Harouer's situation in the social arena will be even more difficult in the future.
Fortunately, the matter of saving lives was initiated by Abner, and he also played a major role in it, so this time it is not as embarrassing as it used to be when claiming credit for it.
Is this considered an improvement? Should the "hopefully promoted" in the positive interpretation of the wheel of fortune be here?
While complaining in his heart, Abner walked into the villa, went up to the third floor, and pushed open the door of the study.
Then he saw a gentleman with bronze complexion, soft facial features, and a small mole under his right ear standing by the desk, looking at a stack of documents he had placed on it.
Silica stood on the gentleman's shoulder, but turned her head to the other side, looking eagerly at the storage room on the side of the study.
This appearance... and the ritual trap I set up in the "death" domain has not been activated... This person should be Mr. Azik, right? Oh, Silica is quite reliable!
Suddenly seeing the intruder, even though he already had a guess in his heart, Abner went into a state of alert, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"My friend, don't be nervous. My name is Azik, Azik Eggers. I don't have any malicious intentions... well, Silica can testify." Mr. Azik put down the stack of documents and said gently .
It really is Mr. Ards! Abner lowered his guard a bit, and pretended to call: "Silica?"
Silica called out cheerfully when she heard it, and frequently glanced at the storage room with her small eyes.
What a foodie! Abner slandered, but first took out a bottle of potion he named "Amanda Hydrosol (modified)" from the cabinet next to it, and put it on the table.
This is a new formula he learned from the Necronomicon, but it is not practical in practice. Because the effect of this medicine on calming the nerves is almost the same as that of ordinary "Amanda", but the materials used are at least ten times more expensive than ordinary "Amanda"... The only advantage is that it tastes better. It has no use other than to bribe Silica.
He even suspected that Jane's ancestor who wrote this book developed this potion because of the fall of death and no backer, so he wanted to please the goddess...
However, it is outrageous for a Beyonder of the "Reaper" pathway to have such a high level of drug development.
While Abner was thinking wildly, Silica had already flown over to **** the bottle, opened the lid, and happily inhaled the flavor.
"It seems that she wasn't coerced by you." Abner seemed to finally heave a sigh of relief, and said so.
Actually, he just didn't want Mr. Ards to see that he actually knew him a long time ago. And waiting for his arrival.
"Detective Bryan, I'm sorry for coming here uninvited...and I took the liberty to read your files." Mr. Azik first apologized, then pointed to the stack of files and said, "But I also read your files because I read them." I couldn’t help but read it when I saw something I was interested in.”
The stack of information is actually the investigation report submitted by Abner to Klein before, but he added some private goods at the end.
Hearing Mr. Azik's explanation, Abner took a serious look at the other party, and then pretended to understand: "That was a survey I conducted for a friend... If your face is not disguised~IndoMTL.com ~I think you may be the person in the investigation report?"
"Yes... It seems that you have recognized it..." Mr. Ards admitted generously, and then sighed, "The world is really small, I think the friend who entrusted you already knows Who is it... Hehe, after all, I also got a similar document from him, but it's not complete..."
Speaking of which, Mr. Ards straightened his face, and then solemnly said to Abner: "Detective Bryan, I am very grateful for your investigation, it reminded me of some things, and also investigated for me Ming's life experience pointed out the way."
Abner just wanted to be polite when he heard this, but he suddenly froze.
Because, at this moment, the potion of "Keeper of the Wisdom" in his body was completely digested.
…
In a warehouse in the dock area, Jane in a black robe watched the policemen who were constantly searching nearby, and said to the "Admiral of the Stars" who was ready: "I don't know what happened... Why are there so many officials patrolling tonight?"
Cattleya shook her head and said expressionlessly: "Accidents are inevitable... such a situation is not suitable for action, let me inform you of the 'bait' so that she doesn't have to leave today.
"Whether we will act tomorrow night is to be determined."
Jane sighed. Helplessly said: "That's the only way..."
…
At the same time, their target, the Baron "Konwa", was still sitting in the dark library, staring at a mathematical theorem, scribbling and checking.
