Chapter 373 Aiwass’ Investigation(1/2)
The news that Her Majesty the Queen had fallen into a coma quickly reached the Round Table Hall.
Meetings in the Round Table Hall were suspended, and almost all ministers stayed at home. The Great Guardian returned at the last moment, and the "Eye of Avalon" was activated around the clock, overlooking the entire glass island. The "Glass Steps Newspaper" no longer published any information about the matter.
Controversial news.
The storm is coming.
A strange solemnity and silence enveloped the entire Avalon.
At this extremely critical moment, no one dared to make any peeps.
And this also gave Aiwass room to act.
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Captain Camus, who still didn't know what happened, arrived at Moriarty Manor on time.
Edward couldn't wait at home every day - he was already a busy man, and now at this critical period, he was even more busy. Therefore, the only one to greet him was Aiwass.
Because this matter involved confidentiality, Aiwass didn't want to cause trouble for Lily, nor did he want to create unexpected changes. Therefore, he did not take Lily with him this time.
This will cause Aiwass's shadow to fluctuate. If you pay close attention, you will notice that when Aiwass walks, his shadow will jump like fire.
After all, Aiwass's shadow affinity level has not yet reached level three, and he cannot perfectly accommodate the shadow demon yet. He usually lets Lily take care of it. Now the shadow demon has become stronger because he has received the shepherding method, so his sense of presence has also changed.
Even stronger. Even Captain Camus noticed the shadow of Aiwass.
He hesitated to speak.
But after looking at Aiwass's serious expression, he wisely swallowed back his unspoken doubts.
——Now that he is in such big trouble, he can't find Sherlock for help. If he doesn't handle it well, he may be completely destroyed.
It's not even just an official career... because this matter directly involves Aiwass Moriarty, the future head of the founding family and a minister trusted by the future Queen. And this matter will probably only shake him at best.
power, without affecting the status he has obtained as a minister regardless of the ministry. In other words, he is equivalent to causing trouble for such a young minister and making him subject to others.
And a young minister like Aiwass is even more intimidating than other senior ministers.
Because he is too young - he has not even graduated from school, and has never worked in a government department before. And such a young man, if his blood surges... what will he do by then?
No one knows, no one is sure. He will definitely not be so cautious in using his power, because his power comes easily, so naturally he will not cherish it very much.
If you are not afraid of being old, you are afraid of being stupid.
One of the reasons why he sought help from Edward was because Edward was an old classmate of his. They both studied at Milton University when they were young, and then Edward went to King's Law University to continue his studies and became a doctor adapted to the path.
Captain Camus of the "Hunter" chose to join the army.
And a more important reason is because Edward is Aiwass's brother.
If Edward is asked to investigate this matter, then if no results are found in the end, maybe Aiwass will be a little lenient when retaliating against him...
……perhaps.
But now, the person involved, Aiwass, is willing to take over the investigation in person, and Captain Camus is even more impatient - it is better for them to investigate together but fail to find out the problem than to report the news directly to him honestly when the time comes, "Sorry, we messed up.
"Be strong.
Although the problem has not been solved, at least the negative impact has been effectively reduced!
In this case, not to mention that Aiwass was suspected of contacting "Miss Aleister" herself. Even if he brought her to investigate the matter, Captain Camus would turn a blind eye!
But he didn't understand that Aiwass didn't want to find out "why the letter was lost" at all. He came over just to make a statement - this incident directly involved him. If he didn't do anything, then
It's too strange.
In other words, Aiwass came here to deliberately expose that "Shadow Demon is following him".
The situation today is completely different from the past.
Previously, Aiwass had to carefully hide his identity as a demonologist without revealing anything.
But now, the top leaders of Star Antimony, Iris and even the Round Table Hall of Avalon have worked hard to write a perfect story and turn Miss Aleister into a real one.
People who exist... Wouldn't it be a loss if Aiwass doesn't make good use of it?
——Don’t ask, asking means that Miss Aleister is spying on me. Asking again means that I am being threatened and controlled.
You just say whether it's miserable or not and that's it.
This is the top agent of the Star Antimony people. I am a second-level little priest. I am weak, pitiful and helpless. What is wrong with being coerced by her? Is it unreasonable?
Aiwass followed Captain Camus all the way to his mansion.
His home is not far from Moriarty Manor, it only takes a short ride on a carriage.
Captain Camus's home is a three-story building, but it's a bit hard to call it a villa.
There is no garden or backyard, just a small building, which even covers an area smaller than No. 14 Luoning Street. It is right next door to other people's houses.
He lived in Justice Square, which is also known as "Hanging Square" among the people. The specific location is at the intersection of White Queen District and Lloyd District, in the transition area connecting the two areas with "Prince Lloyd Avenue".
The people who live here are quite embarrassed in a sense. Because the people in White Queen do not think that Lawyers Square is in White Queen, and the people in Lloyd do not think it is Lloyd.
For the former, the most expensive house price here is far less than half of that in White Queen. Moreover, every day when you open the door and open the window, you can see a row of fresh or half-rotten dead people hanging not far away, which is too scary.
.
In other places, there are terms such as mountain view room, lake view room, sea view room and so on - but here it belongs to "penalty view room".
It sounds very annoying.
For the latter, this kind of large single-family house with white bricks and white walls is obviously the style of White Queen District. It is obviously not on the same level as the workers in Lloyd District. First of all, the people who live here will have some
Money, and most of them are not serious knights, they can't hire so many housekeepers and servants, and there won't be too many people at home. It's far away from the nearest inspection bureau, and it's not on the griffon patrol route.
It is for these reasons that houses in Legal Plaza are easily burglarized.
However, although the location here is not good, the interior decoration is quite good.
As soon as Aiwass entered the door, he saw a woman wearing a yellow dress. She looked to be in her early thirties, with fair skin, a tall figure, and a good temperament. But her appearance was relatively ordinary. Her cheekbones were slightly high, and she had a good temperament.
He has a pair of small eyes and a big mouth.
She looked very well-educated - she would bow politely when she saw Aiwass. She was neither too frightened nor too nervous, and at the same time she didn't say anything because of Aiwass's youth. She obviously knew it already.
Aiwass will come today.
"This is my wife."
Captain Camus introduced with some embarrassment: "There are not many people in my family. Besides my wife, there is only Mrs. Harry. She is our maid, cook, and also the housekeeper."
"Where's Mrs. Harry?"
Aiwass asked.
"She took leave a week ago. She said she was going back to her hometown to attend her son's wedding."
Captain Camus replied.
"Are you sure she wasn't on Glass Island when the incident happened?" Aiwass asked.
Although he didn't really come here to investigate, Aiwass felt that he couldn't go too far. So he still followed the procedure and asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. Minister Moriarty."
The captain affirmed: "We sent a telegram to her hometown, and she responded quickly. In short, we can be sure that Mrs. Harry herself must have been in her hometown at that time - even now.
"Mrs. Harry has taken care of our family for many years. In order not to cause trouble for her, I specifically asked her to come back later..."
"I think you should let her come back sooner, Captain."
Aiwass said calmly.
"...Do you doubt her?"
"No."
Aiwass shook his head: "But since she has been working at your house for a long time, it is much more convenient for me to ask her for information than to ask you and your wife. After all, you are a navy, and your wife-"
"She's a teacher."
Captain Camus quickly replied: "A middle school teacher."
Aiwass nodded: "Yes, a teacher. I think she is definitely not at home usually, so if anyone comes to visit, Mrs. Harry will definitely know. So she must come back."
"Then I'll call her back immediately!"
Camus replied without hesitation.
He held up the brim of his hat and hurriedly wanted to go out.
"Don't be so flustered."
Aiwass stretched out his hand to hold him, and warned him gently: "And I haven't finished asking yet.
"——Since Mrs. Harry took leave a week ago, were you and your wife the only ones at home when the incident happened?"
"No, I was the only one at home at that time."
Captain Camus explained for his wife: "She came back last night. I only saw her after I came back from your home."
"——Let me tell you, dear. It is like this, the Honorable Minister Moriarty."
Mrs. Camus explained nervously: "Our school recently had an activity... taking the children on a trip to Bagpipe Town. You are also a pastor, so you should know..."
