Start with the Readers Chapter 264: Raid
"The great pirate Qilingus was shot dead in Backlund by the Duke's bodyguards!"
"Supporting hundreds of pounds of chandelier alone, the great detective Brian becomes a hero again."
"Detectives and pirates, subtle camouflage is no match for detective eyes."
…
On Thursday morning, Forsi and Xio, wearing gauze hats, were walking along the street, preparing to go to the nearest Bavat Bank branch
——Forsi's new issue of "Storm Mountain Villa", as well as the bonus and reimbursement for Xio's previous operation, were finally issued.
The clear voices of newsboys came to my ears.
Huh? What? Chillingus dead? He also played against Abner? A chandelier weighing hundreds of pounds... Abner doesn't seem to have such strength?
Xiu and Forsi looked at each other blankly.
It was only after the newsboy repeated several times from far to near that they suddenly came to their senses.
The two of them moved because they were afraid of being found by Qilingus, and now they were a little surprised to hear the news of his death.
"Do you have any inside information?" Forsi asked Xio.
Xiu shook his head and said, "I haven't visited Abner in the past few days...nor have I received a mission from MI9..."
At the same time, a sliver of understanding arose in her heart: that is, no wonder there was so much official movement last night, it turned out to be because of Qilingus' matter.
Forsi saw that her friend really had no clue, so she went to the newsboy and bought a copy of this morning's "Tasoke News".
This is one of the three newspapers with the largest circulation in the Kingdom of Loen.
"Well... Qilingus is indeed dead, he was shot dead by Duke Negan's bodyguards... He disguised himself as Baron Gramere before the assassination, but Abner saw through the disguise, so the Duke was prepared " Xio glanced at it, and then summed up the general idea of the newspaper.
Fors held the second page of the newspaper, clicked his tongue a few times, and said to his friend with a smile:
"This entire page is about how Abner catches the chandelier, how to re-light the light, inspiring people, so that there is no chaos in the ballroom...
"After this time, his reputation is even greater! No, we are going to Kingston Street now, we have to let him treat."
"Now in the past, do you want to provide materials for tabloid reporters and increase the number of Abner's lace news?" Xio complained, and continued, "Instead of thinking about letting Abner treat you, you might as well look forward to it How much will Miss Audrey pay us for this... To her, a few hundred pounds is not too much, but we have not really completed the commission..."
Whether it is Miss Justice or Mister Hanged Man's entrustment, I have not been able to participate in it...
"If we don't go now, why don't we learn how you climbed the wall and jumped in from the bedroom window in the middle of the night?" Fors murmured in a low voice, and then comforted herself:
"At least Qilingos took the initiative to appear so soon. The reason why he rushed into action and fell into an ambush must have been contributed by you and me... What's more, Abner, who saw him through, is still our friend! Miss Audrey's generosity, even if she doesn't pay all the rewards, she will at least give half."
"I hope so..." Xio came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and sighed in his heart: This is the Tarot Society! To be able to cause a powerful "Pirate General" to die so inexplicably... It's really scary!
I don’t know if Abner tells me the truth, or after I find out by myself, can I send a commission through there, and then solve the problem under the witness of Mister Fool...
Fors on the other side, after saying a few words against the bodyguard who might have received a bounty of 10,000 pounds, reminded, "Hugh, let's not go to Miss Audrey in a short time, and wait until she takes the initiative to contact us. Qilingos' death hides too many details that we don't know, and looking for Miss Audrey rashly may put us in danger."
Of course, if there is something urgent, I can pass it on to Mister Fool...but that would expose my identity.
With that in mind, Xio nodded in approval of Forsi's words. She wanted to say something, but at this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the glass of the roadside shop, wearing a complicated black dress. A long court dress and a figure wearing a small soft hat of the same color.
The figure disappeared in a flash, but as an "interrogator", Xio can firmly remember the other person's appearance whenever he sees it, and can even gain extra senses on the extraordinary level.
So, she instantly recognized that it was Miss Sharon who had protected her for a while last night and left silently until Jane heard the news of the cancellation of the operation.
Miss Sharon was deliberately exposed to my sight... Is there something wrong?
Xiu's heart moved, he thought about it, and said to Forsi: "I saw the code left by MI9... You go back first, I'll go see that 'golden mask'."
Similar situations have happened many times since Hugh became an MI9 agent. Forsi didn't think too much about it, and after a few words of advice, she took the manuscript fee and walked towards the rented house.
But halfway through, Fors thought more and more wrongly, because even if the boss of the MI9 had left a secret signal to meet, he would rarely choose to meet in the morning, usually after dark... unless the matter is very urgent !
However, Xio didn't look nervous when he spoke just now, but instead seemed to be pretending to be calm...
Could it be... is she doing something dangerous again without telling me?
With this thought in mind, Forsi hurriedly returned to the place where she left just now, but she didn't find Xio's figure.
She looked around for a while, but still found nothing.
Hugh may not be doing something dangerous, maybe I'm just thinking wildly...well, maybe I should ask Abner...
Forsi took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then she identified the direction and walked towards Kings Street.
Just like the rainy night last week.
…
On the other side, Xio followed the figures that kept flashing in the glass on both sides of the street, and came to a restaurant that looked simple but was actually very stylish.
Since there were not many people in the restaurant at this time, she saw Jane sitting inside at a glance.
At this time, Jane was sitting beside a lady wearing a black robe and "glasses", but she was covered by the hood of the robe, so Xio couldn't see her face clearly.
Although yesterday's operation was forced to be cancelled, the main personnel still met each other once. Xio didn't know who this lady was, but she was sure that she must be the powerful helper Jane had found.
"Has there been any new changes?" Xio sat across from Jane, greeted her briefly, and asked directly.
"Yes, a big man decided to give us some help, which allowed us to confirm the location of the Baron ~IndoMTL.com~ and plan to raid immediately...but you still need to lead him to the designated location." Jane didn't exchange many pleasantries, and directly talked about the revised plan with Xio and Miss Sharron who was listening quietly in the mirror next to her.
"Immediate raid? During the day?" Xio was taken aback when she heard the words, but she quickly reacted and asked calmly, "That big man provided a hidden space as a battlefield? That's why I need to lure him there? "
"That's right." Jane glanced at Hugh 1 appreciatively, thinking that it's no wonder Abner values him, this Miss Hugh's mentality is really excellent.
After thinking about it for a while, Xio felt that she was not in great danger. After all, Miss Sharon could take her away at any time...
But she still looked at Jane and said seriously: "I need to 'notarize' the agreement again."
"No problem, it should be." Jane happily took out a piece of parchment that exudes the luster of the "sun" field.
…
After signing the agreement, the few people did not delay any longer, and took a carriage to a library in the North District.
On the way, Xio quietly wrote Mister Fool's honorable name on his cuff in the ancient Hermes language.
This is the best "insurance" she can think of... Since the baron has been looking for Mister Fool's aura, that mysterious being that resembles a **** may be interested in it.
…
Tingen City, just after reading the "Tingen Morning Post", Klein, who learned of the news of Qilingos' death, complained to himself:
As the behind-the-scenes BOSS of this incident, I only found out the result after reading the newspaper...
