The room was spacious and quiet, and there was a slight echo of Lyle's words, which may have something to do with the emptiness in the room.
There is only a table and a chair, wooden products, with dark paint, and the lamps cast abundant cold light, which can only clearly show the details of the cane with a strong metallic texture on the table.
Hai put down the book and was silent for a few seconds before he seemed to come out of the content in the book. He took the photos and looked through them one by one.
"The day when Miss Shake drew these patterns on the window, it was the time when the annual important lecture was held in the Imperial History School's Lecture Hall of Yato. It was approaching evening. After the lecture, Miss Shake went directly back to her single room
In the dormitory, dinner was as usual, coffee and bread prepared at noon. I drew these patterns after 11 o'clock at night, which was her customary rest time."
When Lyle looked at the photos, he added corresponding information as a usable basis for analysis.
"The surrounding protection has been increased, and four skilled assassins have been arranged to take turns patrolling the surrounding area. If there is danger, abnormal situations can be discovered more quickly." Lyle reported all the information he knew and the preparations he had made.
He took a step back and stood quietly waiting.
"Has it snowed in Manoma yet?" Haike looked at the photo of snowflakes on the window and asked in a gentle tone, even with a smile. "This year's cold wave arrived in Manoma earlier than last year."
"It's been a few days." Lyle thought. "On this day last year, there should have been only cold wind. If it had been earlier a few years, it would have been a good time to go out at night and enjoy the night view."
After the simple snowflake photo, there is an even simpler smiley face pattern. After that, there are child-like graffiti with unknown meanings, as if Shake is releasing the accumulated emotions in his heart in his own way. At the end of the photo, there is a window
There are big and small smiling faces, and through these smiling faces, you can still see Shake's own forced smile.
He picked out the random graffiti and the photo with Shake's forced smile and placed it on the table. He pointed at the photo with the "forced smile" and motioned for Lyle to take a look.
"Judging from the facial expression, there is a look of reluctance. In fact, from the corners of her mouth and eyes, there is joy in her heart." Lyle gave the answer after thinking about it. Observation and interpretation are required courses for assassins or agents. This is
It allows them to know the status of the target object so that they can take the next action.
Haike then pointed to the random graffiti and said, "This is a strange text. One of the courses you have been given in recent years has included learning in this area. There are two ways to interpret it. One is the meaning of the strange text itself.
One is based on its pronunciation."
Quickly recalling these complicated characters in his mind, Lyle immediately found a way to decipher them, but he was filled with doubts when speaking the Imperial language corresponding to the pronunciation of the strange characters.
"contact me?"
Hai put away the photo, closed the book again, stood up, took his cane, and looked out the window at the dim sky. A layer of lead-colored snow clouds lay across, crumbling: "Be prepared to go back to Manoma. At six o'clock in the afternoon, I will be alone.
.Get ready for the return trip at the same time. During the period of the return trip, let my substitute come out."
Seeing Lyle responding and thinking, Haile relaxed his tone and said, "The joy Miss Sako showed in the photo reminded me of some things."
"Lyle, during an operation a few years ago, do you remember that Miss Shaco had a pistol hidden in a book?"
"The magazine-type pistol uses ordinary gunpowder bullets and has a very small caliber. Even Miss Sacco can ignore its recoil as long as she exercises her arm strength in daily life." Lyle answered from a professional perspective,
"The person who provided the pistol was very familiar with Ms. Shaco's situation, had knowledge of firearms, and made a rational choice."
"Afterwards, we conducted a detailed investigation on Miss Shaco's identity and background. The source of the pistol was not found, and the possibility that the pistol was provided by her grandfather Doulison was close to zero. Finally, we came to the conclusion that the pistol was provided by Miss Shaco.
I got it after arriving in Manoma. But who provided it, there is no accurate answer yet."
Hai nodded, and the smile on his face increased, as if someone else's answer that already existed in his head was a second confirmation of his guess.
"When was the pistol discovered?" Haile gave the prompt again.
Lyle then breathed out: "Master, there are still three hours until 6pm. I will carefully arrange your trip to and from Manoma, and do a good job of the substitutes during the time you leave here.
arrange."
After hearing this, he sighed with a smile: "The conjecture I made a few years ago has not been confirmed until now. The span of time is indeed fascinating."
The two walked out of the empty house together.
The horrifying words continued: "Recently, the incident at the empire's border has deepened the level of surveillance. Lyle, you need to pay special attention. I will contact Miss Iyeta to cover up this trip by going back to Manoma and meeting her secretly.
.”
"I understand, young master." Lyle behind him nodded, "More than two years have passed, but the Holy Emperor's Hall, the King's Faction, the Three Primary Colors and the Imperial Mining Company, and even our own family, still refuse to give up any of their existence.
I hope you have the opportunity. And this will also have a certain impact on your status and promotion, young master."
Hai didn't care at all, with a touch of indifference: "The Red Star coming this time has special significance to the family's Presbyterian Church, and it will be a change. They know that if they fail to seize the opportunity and fail to choose the right one at the right time,
Position, after the war is over, they will go to the tundra and have no chance to freeze their lives, and they can only become corpses."
"It's fear. I feel the power and urgency of the advancement of the times. If they don't take effective actions, they may face their own consequences before the war is over."
"If Mr. Macquarie of the Chiraandi family can stop the action of the contemporary knight king of the empire and slow down the death time of the holy fathers in the Holy Emperor's Hall, even if it delays the time for another two to three years,
The situation will be completely different from now. The deaths of the Holy Fathers have indeed awakened the elders of various families."
There was regret and pity in Hei's words: "I think Mr. Macquarie must have tried his best to fight for it, but when faced with the knight royal clan leader of Qila Andi, he really did not have the qualifications to disobey. If those old people were immersed in the strength of the empire,
If we have more time in the fortress dream, the changes in the future may be simpler."
The two of them went to the end of the corridor, where they stood still: "Remember to remove the added protection around Miss Shake. That is the only blind spot that is not discovered by everyone." He laughed, "No matter when Mr. Cassia is there,
, can always bring surprises to people. He tells us with his actions and time-span results that always keeping a gentle and sunny place in your heart can indeed bring you good luck and unexpected gains."
Hai separated from Lyle here and went to his usual study. He put down his cane and sword, poured a glass of warm water and drank it.
"You made us wait a little too long, Mr. Cassia. I don't know how long it will be before I really see you again."
