The boy named Ian was thin, with delicate features, but his eyes were extremely agile. At this moment, he nodded and narrated the clues he had gotten. Finally, he said: "However, Mr. Detective... That place is a bit strange. , I couldn’t open that secret door in many ways."

　　 Detective Zeller heard these words and immediately understood that the door Ian said should have been sealed by extraordinary means. He was an ordinary child, naturally, he couldn't open it.

However, the matter was extraordinary. Detective Zaire did not explain to Ian. Instead, he happily took out three one-pound banknotes and handed them to the other party. He smiled and said, "This is a reward for you. If you can If I get more clues, I will pay you another 2 pounds."

Ian frowned when he took the money, his expression was slightly distorted, and he unconsciously spread out the three crumpled banknotes and arranged them neatly. Even the portraits of the kings must face up. , Align up and down, there can be no mistakes.

　　Detective Zeriel was a little speechless when he saw this scene, thinking that this kid was afraid that the nobleman would have no life, and had a nobleman's disease, so he was very particular about it.

At this moment, Ian took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket. They seemed to be stacked in strict accordance with the order of denominations from large to small. Then, he inserted the three banknotes given by Zaire to the first. One level of banknotes.

　　 "Thank you for your generosity." After putting the banknotes neatly back into his pocket, Ian sincerely thanked him. For him, an orphan, 3 pounds is already a lot of money.

　　 Watching the older boy who is much older than his true age leave, Detective Zeriel stroked his chin, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:

　　 "The secret door that even the lady'decryptor' could not find...maybe dangerous! Well, this matter seems to have to be reported to the webmaster to resolve..."

　　 Thinking of this, he put on his coat, walked to the chimney of a street park like a walk, and drew a few symbols concealed with chalk.

　　 This is the way he and his boss agreed to meet and apply... As for the reply, it was hidden in the cracked advertisement of the "Beckland Secret News" that was released the next day.

Speaking of it, the Backlund Secret News is a tabloid full of all kinds of fake news, but because the editing level is not low, many articles are written very interesting, so the sales volume is not low, and it ranks among the various tabloids of Backlund. first.

After doing this, Detective Zaire, who had been busy with the manuscript for more than two weeks because of Helmosius, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it and decided to find his "good friend" Miss Irene to relax and relax. spirit.

But when he came to the timber merchant’s house, he unexpectedly learned from Irene’s maid that the other party had stopped casually dating her boyfriend Mr. Bingley recently, except for occasional dates with her genuine boyfriend Mr. Bingley. "Friends", but wandering in the social field of the upper class with her father, seems to be deliberately washing her reputation.

　　Zeriel was a little surprised at this, but didn't think much about it, only thinking that Irene might have a higher vision.

　　 "Why didn't she break up with Mr. Bingley?" This question flashed in Zaire's mind, but didn't delve into it. After all, it didn't matter to him.

　　 He didn't stay too much, stopped a rental carriage, and went to Golden Rose.

　　At the same time, in the bedroom on the third floor of the Timber Merchant’s Villa, Miss Irene and Mr. Bingley quietly knelt down in front of an upside down giant idol about half a meter high, praying and listening devoutly...

　　 In a blink of an eye, the time came to Wednesday.

Early that morning, Abner first received a reply letter from Miss Judy through the post office. In the letter, she said that she had not found the kind of cow he was talking about, but she could help find other "biology" in the Earth Church. "Family" ask to see if there are similar creatures there, and it is estimated that they will give a reply in a few weeks.

　　 At the end of the letter, she wrote in a rather mysterious tone: Karen seems to be in a trance these days, as if he is worried about something, but when asked, he refuses to say...

　　 "You'll reply in a few weeks? Miss, are you afraid that you are looking for someone to train someone now?" After putting down the letter, Abner couldn't help but complain.

　　 As for Karen, as long as he is still alive, at least there is no need to modify the spell that summons Silica.

　　 Abner shook his head, and was waiting to write a letter so that Judy didn’t have to worry, and when it was a big deal to make a payment to Miss Sharon, Hugh came back again.

　　 She brought three pages of Roselle's diary this time.

　　 Since knowing what the price Abner paid for asking Mr. Fool to save herself, she has actively collected relevant information, and recently finally found three pages in the archives of MI9.

　　 After taking it, Abner glanced briefly and knew that it was the genuine one, but Hugh was right in front of him. In order not to reveal the fact that he knew Roselle, he didn't take a closer look.

　　 Seeing that Abner accepted the diary unceremoniously, Xio felt a little more relaxed.

　　 She didn't mention the process of coming here, so she talked about another thing: "Miss Audrey asked me and Fors to go to Viscount Glent's house for afternoon tea."

　　 Abner heard the words, thought about it, and smiled: "Then she is probably going to pay you and Forsi for the previous investigation."

　　 Xiu pursed his mouth, somewhat longingly: "I don't know how much she will give..."

　　 In the original book, I gave 800 pounds, but it is not necessarily anymore. After all, you did not encounter as much danger as in the original book.

　　 In fact, Miss Audrey is as generous as in the original book.

　　 When the afternoon came, Hugh and Forsi entered Viscount Slylint’s study and took the thick envelope from Miss Audrey, they felt the weight of money.

　　 Xiu said sincerely:

　　 "Miss Audrey, thank you for your generosity. Your integrity makes you more beautiful."

　　 Audrey smiled slightly:

　　 "A total of 800 pounds, you decide how to distribute it.

　　 "That incident cost your friend his life, I'm sorry for that."

　　800 pounds...No, no need to apologize...Duckholm is not my friend at all. The death of someone like him is really contributing to the security of Backlund!

　　 Xiu reservedly did not count the bills, although she wanted to do so.

　　 Forsi's mouth couldn't stop rising from the ground, and said with emotion:

　　 "This is more than the total remuneration I have received so far for the book "Storm Mountain Villa"..."

　　 Should I praise Miss Audrey, or should I laugh at myself for the writer’s poverty? She added silently.

　　The Viscount Glennte sitting on the sofa was also a little envious, but he was not envious of Xiu and Fors. As a Viscount with a good financial situation, 800 pounds is not a big sum.

　　 What he admired was Audrey's boldness and no burden at all.

　　 "Cough..." Viscount Glent cleared his throat, "If you can get the'Pharmaceutist' formula, I will also pay you a lot of money."

"We try our best!" Xio replied without hesitation. Then, she looked at Audrey and pretended to say, "We recently came into contact with people who are suspected of Psychological Alchemy. The'audience' potion you want will soon be There is a clue." Although I know you don't need this anymore.

　　 Xiu, I am about to sequence 8 and I am about to catch up with you... Audrey glanced at Xiu, nodded with a smile, but said nothing. In her impression, Hugh is still a Sequence 8 "sheriff".

　　 I know...but you are not as good as me. Hugh guessed the meaning of Audrey's smile and added a word in his heart.

After talking about the business, the four of them chatted about the various rumors of the extraordinary circle, and under Audrey’s demonstration, each looked for books they wanted to read~lightnovelpub.net~ In the process, Audrey seemed unintentional. There was a comment from Detective Brian, but unexpectedly found that neither Hugh nor Forsi cared much, it seemed that the other party had nothing to do with them.

　　 This made Audrey a little confused, thinking: Is it true that the rumors that Hugh and Detective Brian are closely related are false?

　　 At this time, Xio's eyes lit up because she found the mezzanine in a book called "Heraldry" on the shelf.

　　 She took apart the interlayer calmly and found a piece of old paper.

　　 The front of the paper is covered with the special symbols created by Emperor Roselle, and a paragraph of ancient Hermes is written on the back.

　　 Then, she saw three lines of ancient Hermes that impressed her:

　　"Fools who do not belong to this era;

　　"The mysterious master above the gray mist;

　　 "The king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

　　 Seeing this, she closed the book, as if happily asking Viscount Glent if she could borrow it. After obtaining permission, she lowered her eyelids and gave Audrey a concealed glance.

　　 But Audrey, who had witnessed the whole process, didn't know anything about it. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked to the side with restraint, pretending to find a book.

　　 As a qualified and promoted "audience", after many contacts, she has accurately grasped the preferences of Hugh and Forsi in certain aspects, and arranged them in advance without being noticed.

　　 Let the guided people feel that it is their own will, and it is the embodiment of the audience's ability.

　　 However, she always feels a little uncoordinated with her "arrangement", and she didn't find any problems...
