Mystery: Start with the Reader

v4 Chapter 146: ringing...

Backlund, inside the villa at 28 Kinster Street.

After Abner brought Hugh back, he arranged for her to rest first, while he continued to deal with the backlog of official business.

After all, the territory of Beldan is in vain, and the "film and television company" on Loen's side lacks men like Elaine, so even if Abner has organized a professional team to assist him in management, it still seems stretched. .

He can now say that there is an urgent need for employees who are capable, well-connected, and trustworthy.

"There are very few people who come from a big family like Elaine, and who are dedicated and capable!" Abner sighed inwardly, and threw himself into the work.

On the other side, after putting down her luggage, Hugh Dilcha didn't rest immediately, but asked the servant who helped her put the bath water, "Which room is Fors Wall?"

—Since Abner became a viscount and hired a professional housekeeper Walter, the division of responsibilities among servants in the family has also been clarified, unlike the previous Scudders who brought a few handy maids to almost all household chores.

The maid in question had been working at Abner's house for a long time, and obviously knew what the relationship between Miss Hugh and Miss Fors was, so she gave guidance without much hesitation.

Xio thanked her, then briefly took a shower, and then came to the room that the maid had instructed before.

She knocked on the door first, but got no response, so she opened the door and walked in—she had a lot of spells Abner prepared for her, and "opening the door" was the most common one.

This bedroom is not big, but it can be seen that it was decorated according to Fors's preferences, and it has her style.

For example, the sofa next to the desk is to facilitate her to lie down when she is tired from writing;

For another example, on the two small tables next to the sofa, one is full of various magazines, and the other is piled with many snacks and drinks, obviously prepared for her "fishing".

There are several pages of manuscripts scattered on the table, and the words "Ice Sea Wreck" can be vaguely seen on the top one.

Xio glanced at the manuscripts, and then looked at Forsi, who was lying on the bed sleeping soundly, his frowning brows gradually stretched, guessing that his friend should be rushing the manuscript before the deadline again, so he didn't get up at this time.

She casually picked up a page of manuscript on the table and read a few sentences, but she didn't think that the text was about the hero and heroine being chased and hiding in a carriage...

Seeing the heart-pounding scene that Forsi described, Xio's cheeks were rarely red, and then he didn't know what to think, and quickly picked up the previous manuscript and read it from the beginning.

After finding out that this was a "normal" love story, Xio was relieved.

After all, with the development of the film and television industry, some newly formed similar companies cannot compete with the "Brain Film and Television Company", so many of them have taken crooked thoughts and filmed some disgusting scenes and showed them in some hidden theaters.

Hugh had previously smashed two of these companies while in East Chestershire and completed "retribution".

She was very afraid that Abner also wanted to harvest that part of the market, so she asked Fors to help write the script... Now it seems that she is overthinking it.

"That's right, how could Abner be so filthy? Fors is also very proud of his status as a writer, let alone writing words like that!

"What's more, I don't think that type of film has a script at all...

"Hey, the high-intensity 'punishment' performance for more than a month, although the effect is very good, it still brought me some mental problems... For example, everyone looks like a criminal, and I want to punish everything...

"What is the 'post-war psychological syndrome', according to Abner?

"It's no wonder that Abner and 'The Sun' both emphasized when they talked about 'acting', 'just acting'!"

While thinking about it, Xio thought that after giving Abner a birthday surprise in the early morning, he might be able to make an appointment for "psychotherapy".

But now Forsi still needs to be woken up first, even if she rushes through the night, it would be too much to sleep directly into the afternoon.

Thinking of this, Xio walked to the bed, lifted Forsi's sheets, pushed her and said, "Fors, it's time to get up!"

Foer, who was wearing a light yellow nightdress, thought about grabbing the quilt back, but he was unable to do so, so he could only clump his body into a ball while dazedly shouting, "Let me sleep for a while."

Seeing this, Xio was silent for a few seconds, and then the invisible spiritual whip was raised high above Forsi's "soul".

Forsi, who was half asleep and half awake, instantly felt the mad warning from inspiration, and suddenly woke up completely.

However, she still wasn't much vigilant, until she saw who the person on the bed was before she said in surprise, "Hugh, why is it you?"

"So, who do you think it is?" Xio raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

Forsi laughed dryly and didn't answer, then put on his shoes and got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came back with the big Fenpot pie prepared by the servant and the sweet iced tea from Dixi Bay. On the table, while eating, he asked:

"Hugh, didn't you come back in the afternoon?"

- The Big Fenport Pie is the kind of pie that Miss Judy mentioned that is better than the Disy Pie. Abner, out of curiosity, sent it to Feneport City and bought some back.

"It's already afternoon! Don't you look at what time it is?" Xio said angrily.

Forsi then glanced at the wall clock, patted his head and said, "My work and rest have been irregular recently, and the time has been turned upside down."

Xio took this to criticize her a few more words before looking at the food on the table and said:

"Don't eat this kind of food too often, it's not very healthy."

"Why do you say that?" Fors took a pie inlaid with fruit and ham and took a bite.

"I saw in magazines that if you want to stay in shape, you should avoid these oily foods." Xio replied.

"As long as you exercise more, it's not a problem!

"And you're a combat professional, so you don't need to be too deliberate to maintain a good figure." Forsi smiled.

Xio looked at his friend up and down, and asked inexplicably, "So, have you been exercising a lot recently?"

Forsi was stunned for a second, and then said as a matter of course: "Of course, I have traveled to most of the Northern Continent to act!"

After she finished speaking, she ate the pie in three or two times, and after finishing everything, she pulled Xiu to the bedside, cleared her throat, and said:

"In order to celebrate your return, I decided to give you a present."

"Are you in trouble and need me to clean up the mess? Or did you do something that you need to hide from me, and feel guilty?" Xio looked at her friend vigilantly.

"..." Forsi blinked and suddenly reflected on her state.

She coughed and took out a piece of parchment directly from the small cabinet by the bedside.

Xio glanced curiously, then his expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "Where did you get this?"

There is a piece of information clearly recorded on the parchment, a piece of information about "Sherman".

According to the intelligence, Sherman inquired about the preference of the chief of the palace guard, Viscount Stratford.

"This is the information I got by chance when I was doing a 'horoscope'. Because it involved the viscount who may be related to your father's death, I paid special attention and recorded it."

In other words, in the future Sherman, no, is Sherman's lover Viscount Stratford? He really knew the truth of my father's injustice!

Xio nodded thoughtfully, UU read www. uukanshu.com then solemnly said to Forsi: "Don't get involved in this matter, it's very dangerous!

"Besides, if you go out recently, you'd better go with Abner."

Seeing the seriousness of what her friend said, Fors also responded with kindness. Anyway, she usually doesn't go out much except to play together with Abner.

Then, Xio put away the parchment, thanked Forsi, and then asked, "Tomorrow is Abner's birthday. Since you prepared a present for me, did you forget him?"

"Of course I didn't forget it!" Forsi smiled and took out a small box from the cabinet by the bedside. Inside was a delicate cuff nail with a mysterious pattern.

Xio stared at the cuff nail and was silent for a long time, until Fors asked "what's the matter" in a puzzled way, she took out a box from the small bag around her waist.

After opening it, a cuff stud with the same pattern and pattern appeared inside.

Late at night, early in the morning.

Abner, who was releasing "Desperate Nightingale" and studying the mythical form of the "Witch" pathway, suddenly heard a knock on the bedroom door and window at the same time.
