Mystery: Start with the Reader

v4 Chapter 144: Hugh

East Chestershire, inside the castle of the Hall family.

"Failed again... Who would have thought that the woman would bomb art museums and airships just because she thought the painting was fake...

"What's even more terrifying is that, as the 'audience', before Conan revealed the truth, I didn't see that she was the murderer at all... Even if I was sealed with extraordinary abilities such as 'mind-reading'...

"Does this mean that my research on psychology is only superficial, and the achievements I thought I had before were all due to the bonus of Extraordinary abilities?"

Audrey lay on the bed without focus, constantly examining herself.

After a while, she stood up, walked to the door, and smiled at the golden retriever sitting outside:

"Susie, Islant is still in the 'Antiquities Collection and Conservation Fund', you don't have to keep the dog's posture all the time?"

Susie glanced warily left and right when she heard Islant's name, then sniffled and said:

"Audrey, as a dog, I feel it is necessary to maintain such vigilance."

Wasn't that the last time I couldn't help being curious and asked Islant to show how to feed that box with "canned wolf fish"? Although the smell is really stinky, the whole process of Islant is operated in a sealed pool. I don't think it is as unacceptable as described by Mr. Tower and others...

Audrey murmured a few words and said with a smile:

"Dog? Didn't you say last time that words that are too repetitive are easy for others to grasp their own habits and psychological activities?"

Susie responded earnestly:

"From the last "canned wolf fish" incident, I have actually realized clearly that humans and dogs are different!

"Even if I read independently now and can understand human thinking... but physically, it's still completely different!"

Audrey was a little confused and asked in confusion, "Susie, what do you want to say?"

"Audrey, I don't want to be a dog! I want to be a lady with a less sensitive nose." Susie said, wagging her tail.

... Audrey couldn't find a language to respond for a while, and after a long time, she said, "Susie, don't watch this kind of boring stuff."

"But this is a line from a new movie," Susie corrected.

"So you're really joking..." Audrey tried her best to keep the smile on her lips and didn't let it collapse.

"Humor is the first step to being a lady." Susie said solemnly.

"Where is this line?" Audrey asked after thinking about it.

"Sentence from a book written by Fors Walsin," Susie said after jumping on the desk and grabbing a copy.

"Uh...how do I remember that sentence is 'humor is the first step to approaching a lady'?" Audrey said thoughtfully after glancing at the book.

"Isn't that a meaning?" Susie wagged her tail, her eyes full of puzzlement.

"Of course not!" Audrey was refreshed, and was about to give her golden retriever a grammar lesson, but at this moment, she saw Earl Hall with a personal servant and a squire, walking along the The stairs of the castle came up.

And even though the sun was shining outside, it was still dark and gloomy, and there were even candlesticks that had been lit, mounted on the wall and illuminating the steps.

"This castle is so old, I think it must have a major renovation." Earl Hall complained to his daughter casually.

Audrey nodded reservedly and said:

"Yes, dear Count, that's exactly why I don't like it here. It makes me feel like I'm slowly rotting."

"But in fact, I spend 13,000 pounds to repair this place every year." Earl Hall sighed with a smile.

Then, he talked to his daughter about the sale of the bicycle company's shares, and came up with an idea of ​​not spending too much money, just taking the shares from the bank mortgage loan, and using the shares as a pledge to continue the loan to repay the previous loan.

"The reason I think you should buy a stake in this company is because in my opinion, this industry has a very bright future, and it is far from meeting the minimum expectations. Investing in it can make your assets continued appreciation.

"Secondly, as far as I know, the shares sold this time belonged to a detective named Sherlock Moriarty...but that's not the point, the point is that the person who sold the shares on his behalf was the new Viscount Abner. Brian!

"Hehe, they are all detectives, they should have known each other before, so Detective Sherlock let Viscount Brian sell it on his behalf, right?

"But whatever the reason, this is actually a very good opportunity to get in touch with the new Viscount.

"I've always wanted to talk to this man of the kingdom to see if we can cooperate... Unfortunately, I missed it a few times before."

The miss he said was referring to the one at Duke Negan's ball.

Audrey heard a move in her heart, remembering Mr. Tower's entrustment, and asked tentatively, "Dad, are you very optimistic about that Viscount? Want to invest in Berdan?"

Earl Hall shook his head, looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "I am optimistic about his film and television company.

"In other words, its extremely professional and perfect operating model and management structure, as well as its cinema chains all over the world.

"This is also something that other later film and television companies are extremely lacking... It is conceivable that in the next ten or twenty years, no one can compete with it.

"In addition, the ability of film and television companies to make money is second, and I think everyone underestimates the influence of such a film and television company that can simultaneously screen the entire continent.

"If it is used to convey a certain idea, the publicity effect it can play is likely to be better than that of a newspaper.

"Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to this emerging industry at that time and missed the opportunity to become a shareholder."

Audrey's eyes widened when she heard this. It was the first time she heard her father praise a person and an industry...

Although it is still unimaginable, she believes in her father's vision and understands the meaning of "propaganda".

Didn't expect Mr. Tower's company to be so powerful? However, my father doesn't seem to be paying much attention to his Berdan plan... But I heard Mr. Tower's prospects before and thought it was very good...

While thinking about it, Audrey thought about it and said: "But I think the new 'Beldan Studios Project' proposed by the Viscount is quite good, why not start from here and establish a friendship with Abner Brain?

"Bicycles are not his own business after all."

Earl Hall smiled and shook his head again, and said meaningfully: "That plan is actually very interesting, but Berdan is too close to the sea."

Too close to the sea? What does it mean? When Audrey was wondering, Earl Hall handed over another document and said with a smile: "So I also made a plan. After buying the shares of the bicycle company and returning to Backlund, you can consider taking it Give it to your friend named Fors, and let her pass it to Viscount Brian."

Audrey took it out of curiosity, and saw the "Proposal for the Establishment of the Academy of Film and Television Arts and Sciences and the Establishment of the Film and Television Awards" written on the cover.

Since you can't join, you should be a "referee~lightnovelpub.net~" to set rules, regulate the market, and indirectly gain the influence of the film and television industry.

...

On Wednesday morning, after discussing with Fanny for one day and two nights, Abner, who was finally going to operate the upcoming Intis West incident in the near future, left Fanny's rented house and came to Terry. Ernest's "Brain Films".

After spending all morning, I and Elaine finalized the new film project for the west, such as "The Saint of Toulon", "The Sound of the Cannon of Valécy" and other heroines leading the people and the army to defeat the cultists and demons. , After preparing to cooperate with Fanny in a campaign at the right time, Abner made the "ancient scholar" Daphne of the esoteric order change into Owen's appearance and acted in Trier instead of himself.

And he himself teleported back to Backlund, because Hugh had returned from East Chester, and she had undergone a high-intensity pursuit mission for more than a month, "punishing" all kinds of criminals, and the distance from the complete digestion of Sequence 5 "punishment" Cavaliers" was only one last step away.
