"You mean...His Royal Highness let Ian go on purpose? She judged that Intis's intelligence personnel would go after Ian with all of them?
"That's right, Your Highness said that the people who came to chase Ian last night came to take the initiative to die... They wanted to use this hunt to paralyze us, making us think that they also lost Ian's trace, and the competition between the two sides ended. Arrived at the same starting point..."
Hugh is still very smart in nature, but unlike Abner, she has an understanding of all parties based on the original work, so she didn't think of this level before.
Now that Abner pointed it out, Xio suddenly had a new question: "But Ian is indeed missing again...Why are Intis and His Highness sure to find him?"
"Because of the spies... Your MI9 should have planted spies in the Intis intelligence department... And according to what you said, Ian had sent a telegram before... No matter who the telegram was sent to, the person who received the telegram There must be an undercover agent placed by Intis by their side, so they are so sure." Abner explained with a smile combined with "plot".
"So that's how it is..." Xio mused thoughtfully to himself, thinking that this was the same method he used to install informants in the gang.
Seeing that she had already figured things out, Abner said meaningfully: "Wait a while, you can report what happened last night and my guess to Mister Fool... His Since the Favored One has issued a commission to kill Bakerland, he will definitely be interested in similar matters."
Xiu Wenyan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement. For the sake of Forsi, she has been thinking about how to "please" that mysterious existence recently... Even if the only ones who are interested in this are the favored ones of Mister Fool, it is worth a try.
…
After sending Xio back to catch up on sleep, Abner picked up the stack of materials she brought, flipped through the pages, and read carefully:
"In the Intis embassy, apart from ambassador Bakerland, there are a total of thirteen extraordinary people on the surface, all of whom are official military officers approved by the Kingdom of Loen.
"There are one-bit sequence 5, one-bit sequence 6, three-digit sequence 7, and sequence 8 and sequence 9 which add up to a total of eight bits.
"Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 are not mentioned... Two of the three people in Sequence 7 are 'arsonists', namely Joe Philip and Harvey Osmond, both former nobles of Intis Family background... The other is the 'wizard' Bianca, a lady in her twenties, rumored to have been personally recruited by Ambassador Bakerland, and her origin is unknown.
"The military officer of Sequence 6 is a 'Wind Blessed One', and it is said that he has a certain relationship with the Church of 'Eternal Blazing Sun'.
"Finally, the chief military officer of Sequence 5, named 'Korton Surrey', is an 'astronomer', and also a nominal professor of the Physics Department of Backlund University..."
Seeing this, Abner generally has an idea:
"Arsonist" and "Wind Blessed" are both sequences that are inclined to face-to-face combat. They are obviously not good at ritual magic, so they can be ruled out... Then, the host of the embassy's "Guardian Ceremony" can only be a "wizard" ' Bianca and one of 'The Astronomer' Cotton Surrey.
However, the origin of that Ms. Bianca is unknown after all. Even if she has the support of the ambassador, she will definitely not be able to gain the trust of the other military officers... The possibility of entrusting a place like the core of the "Guardian Ceremony" to her is very small , unless there is no other choice.
So, the most likely one is this Mr. Cotton Surrey!
This old man's qualifications are deeper than Bakerland's, and his eldest son is a member of the Intis Congress, and he is also an "astronomer"... No matter in terms of status, prestige, or ability, he They are the ones who are most qualified to be in charge of the "Guardian Ceremony" of the embassy.
Besides, the "astronomer" is advanced from the "craftsman", and it is associated with the three magical items in the embassy that are incomparably suitable for the ceremony... Abner even guessed that the "guardian ceremony" in the embassy No, it was constructed and perfected by the old man himself.
"However, such a person...how can I think of a way to transfer him out of the embassy?
"Well... he is a professor of physics at Backlund University? Can you think of a way to invite him to give a lecture at the university? No, no matter how you do it, it will be difficult to get me out. If something happens to the ambassador in the future, It is very likely that the suspicion will be on my head, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Then...maybe we can make a fuss through social interaction... By the way, in the original book, there is a ball hosted by Earl Wolfe today, and Miss Justice also took advantage of this ball to observe Bakerland... ...I don't know if Mr. Cotton was invited...
"Well, if there is, then I will take advantage of today's opportunity to complete the transformation of the ceremony; if not, I can only find another opportunity.
"In short, if you haven't found an opportunity to reform the ceremony by Thursday, you have to let 'Justice' pay for Mr. A."
After thinking about it, Abner immediately sealed the room spiritually, then sat on the edge of the bed, and recited in a low voice:
"Fools who do not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, you are the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck.
"I beg for your help, I beg you to tell Ms. Justice that I need to confirm whether the military attache of the Intis embassy, Cotton Surrey, will attend the ball hosted by Earl Wolfe tonight.
"I'll pay for it."

15 Minsk Street, Klein's new identity, Detective Sherlock Moriarty, is receiving two ladies in the rented house.
One is Mrs. Starling Summer, a fairly formal landlady in morning clothes. She has exquisite makeup on her face, which is more beautiful than at home, and she can't tell that she is about thirty.
The other is Mrs. Mary, a client introduced by Mrs. Summer. Her facial features look good alone, but the combination is disappointing. In addition, because her cheekbones are too high, her appearance looks much older than her actual age.
After the two wives clarified their intentions, Klein also received one of the few normal commissions in his detective career - catching rape.
"I heard that at least four out of ten commissions from other private investigators were to investigate extramarital affairs...I didn't expect to meet them too..." After the two wives left, Klein sighed slightly and was about to get acquainted. He took a look at the latest portable camera Mrs. Mary provided him for catching rape, and suddenly layers of illusory prayers rang out in his ears.
This is from a woman.
Klein immediately stopped fiddling with the camera, turned and walked into the bathroom.
Ten seconds later, he appeared above the gray fog, and saw that the crimson star corresponding to "Judgment" was constantly expanding and shrinking.
Miss Judgment? Is there anything she can do to help?
Klein sat down and leaned against the back of the chair, spreading spirituality.
Miss "Judgment"'s voice also became clear at once... Then, he learned about the battle that took place in the middle of the park on White Rum Street in the Bridge District last night, as well as Mr. "Tower"'s analysis of this incident.
"So that's how it is... Before, I wondered why Zreal's body left something that seemed to be very important... You must know that the ambassador's subordinates are mid-sequence powerhouses with the 'Seer' path. Maybe the 'psychic' does not have such important information!
"And the corpse is left in such a remote and hard-to-find place, it doesn't look like a preset trap.
"But now combined with Mr. Tower's analysis, the answer is obvious.
"Zreal is probably also a spy from another country, and someone close to his boss should have been bought by Intis.
"I finally know why I fell into such a passive situation..."
"Hehe, the entrustment of only 5 pounds actually got me involved in a multinational espionage case... I really look like a clown."
Although he still doesn't know what the "important" thing that several national intelligence agencies are competing for is, Klein has generally figured out the cause and effect, so he can't help but feel a little dazed.
At this moment, the crimson stars belonging to the "tower" also continued to expand and contract.
…
Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.
Audrey was choosing a dress for the evening dance under the maid's advice, when she heard someone knocking on the door.
After a while, Anne, the personal maid, came in with a piece of paper and smiled:
"Miss~IndoMTL.com~ Your telegram is from the Southern Continent."
The southern continent? Alfred? Audrey suddenly thought of her brother, happily took the paper, and stared at it carefully:
This is indeed a telegram sent by her second brother Alfred Hall from the east coast of the Balam Empire in the southern continent, which reads:
"The colorful lizard dragon you want has been found, there are two in total, please wait to receive."
But, I don't need it any more... Audrey froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, and suddenly turned her head to look at Susie.
The golden retriever wagged its tail with a dazed look on its face.
Some things are handed over to Susie, which is much more convenient than myself... Every "big detective" needs a good assistant, eh! Audrey quickly made a decision, and for her, this was no longer something she particularly cared about.
Suddenly, she saw the boundless gray fog, and saw a vague figure sitting on the edge of the bed in a prayer posture.
Following that, words came into her ears:
Earl Wolf Ball...Curton Surrey...Embassy of Intis...Remuneration...
Audrey automatically filtered out irrelevant details and noticed the most critical words.
Is this Mr. "Tower" ready to do something? so fast? No, maybe it's just an advance preparation... Who is that Cotton Surrey? An obstacle to assassination?
With a flash of thought, Audrey decided to help this favor, not because of the reward promised by Mr. "Tower", but because of her sense of mission and sense of substitution for personally participating in a big event.
…
After praying, Abner packed up his belongings and went to the "safe house" set up by the teacher in the sewer again.
He was about to take off his clothes and turn into a giant bear, but suddenly he smelled a **** smell coming from not far away... and accompanied by the smell of blood were low-pitched beast roars.
