This surname belongs to Lily's biological father, the trade minister with a strong old crotch.
The old knight Gordon first subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned again.
Since a powerful minister is involved... there is a high probability that this matter has nothing to do with the royal family. This is the biggest good news at present. It also avoids the worst possibility.
But on the other hand, the principal private secretary to the Secretary of State for Trade is also a big shot in his own right.
Secretary Raff can also be regarded as a affairs officer in the civil service system. In the Ministry of Trade, apart from Minister Drost, he only needs to be responsible to the permanent undersecretary. Although he looks to be almost fifty years old, there is still some possibility of further promotion.
.
And this actually expanded the scope of suspects.
The knight family swore an oath of knighthood when they were awarded armor, so they could not harm the royal family.
If the killer's original target is Princess Isabel, then all the knight family members in the club can be eliminated directly.
But now...
"Has the cause of death been found out?"
Director Gordon thought about this and asked rhetorically.
He just took a quick look and knew that the deceased probably fell from the handrail on the second floor to the first floor.
This is about a height of five or six meters. It is indeed possible to fall to death from this height. But next to him are high-level priests who can use lighting.
A fall injury from such a height can definitely be rescued unless the back of the head hits the ground.
The young inspector shook his head: "I'm not sure whether he died from poisoning or a curse, but it definitely wasn't a fall. It should be related to the knife on the back of the deceased, and it may have to be sent for testing later. But what is certain is that the death was very rapid, from the injury to
It took less than ten seconds to die, and he died almost immediately. The priests who took over the treatment immediately can also confirm this."
"In other words, the deceased fell after being attacked by the murderer. And he died soon after landing?"
Director Gordon frowned, feeling that the situation was becoming more and more troublesome.
He thought for a moment and then gave the instruction: "Immediately conduct a body search of all the people on the second floor of the club!
"There must be a container for storing such a dangerous thing, or a special prop for using it, go find it!
"Secretary Raff may have been talking to someone before he died. Then find all the people on the second floor who were near the handrail at the time of the incident, those who were not talking to others, those who were sneaking around in corners, and those who were seen by others on the second floor.
People who moved quickly after the crime, and bring them down!"
"Also," Aiwass, who was watching quietly from the side, suddenly added, "on this basis, please also check the members on the second floor to see if they have documents or document bags."
Hearing Aiwass's voice, the young inspector and Director Gordon turned around.
Looking at Aiwass in the wheelchair, Director Gordon easily recognized his identity.
"...Mr. Aiwass, right? I've heard about the case you handled in Lloyd's District."
The old knight said solemnly.
He did not look down on Aiwass because of his young age, but asked him seriously: "Do you think this matter is related to the documents carried by Secretary Raff?"
"Just a hunch. No evidence."
Aiwass did not laugh, but said seriously: "But generally speaking, do people who come to the White Shoes Club to listen to music bring so many documents? Even if they bring documents, wouldn't they use this bag to put them in?
Is that so? If you look at so many documents next to the handrail on the second floor, some documents may fall down accidentally.
"So I thought he might have just opened the document bag or just received the document from someone else. So I had to check especially to see if someone wanted to steal something - or was caught stealing the document.
, it’s possible that he would be assassinated and silenced.”
In fact, this is Aiwass's nonsense excuse. He just raised this possibility, and it would be more reasonable to be unprofessional.
Anyway, he and Isabel are both here, and Edward will be here soon. He will definitely check it like this in the end... And if he speaks too professionally, he may be targeted.
The real reason is that Aiwass looked at the deceased and became more and more familiar with him.
And after hearing his name, I finally remembered his identity and recalled the cutscene that Aiwass skipped!
This middle-aged secretary with gold-rimmed glasses and some baldness is the "someone" in [a letter sent by someone to the Noble Red Society]!
In the game, players first learn that this "someone" is most likely a trusted confidant of a certain big shot. Then the "Sweater Brotherhood" will appear a few months after the "Corpse Lost Case in Hanging Square" occurred.
In the main story copy, a document written in code words was obtained.
Through Sherlock's solution to the puzzle of this document, the player learns that this document is actually a series of locations and numbers. Roughly speaking, it means that different quantities of explosives stored in an abandoned chemical plant are delivered to a designated location at a designated time.
middle.
Later, for some unknown reason, the player and Aiwass were discovered from the sealed crate, and then jumped out to fight each other.
Thinking about it now, it may be that the player and Aiwass took the risk to hide in the box and planned to sneak in and search it. According to the agreed time, Sherlock or someone else delivered the box to the designated place, but when they arrived at the place, someone discovered something was wrong.
After defeating these people, they recovered another document from this group of people, and managed to escape while being chased by corrupt supervisors along the way.
The specific content of this document was completely unknown to Aiwass because he jumped over it. However, Aiwass still remembered a little about the dialogue after the cutscene. In short, after careful analysis by Sherlock, he found that the handwriting seemed to be different.
The handwriting of the three documents actually belongs to the same person.
More than a week after that, a clerk committed suicide by taking poison at home in advance because he was discovered by the Inspectorate for taking bribes.
Although this incident only appeared in a corner of the "Glass Steps Newspaper", Sherlock was keenly aware that something was wrong. He specifically investigated the real time of the clerk's death and found that the clerk was exactly the same as the player.
He failed to infiltrate the investigation with Aiwass and "committed suicide" after changing to a frantic stealth style.
After learning about this incident, the player sneaked into the mansion and stole Secretary Rafe's lifetime documents. By comparing the handwriting, Sherlock confirmed that this "someone" was the secretary. Thus, he determined that the "big shot" who cooperated with the Noble Red Society
"That's Minister Drost!"
——Although Aiwass skipped all the plot in the middle, fortunately, when he was talking to Sherlock, a news clipping of "A so-and-so clerk committed suicide at home out of fear of crime" popped up.
Aiwass didn't remember his name or appearance, but he remembered his hairstyle.
But now I see Secretary Rafe’s gold-rimmed glasses again, and I finally recall this episode——
Lily's biological father, Minister Drost, was the mole who was bribed by spies sent by the Star Antimony Kingdom and secretly sent top-secret information to the Star Antimony Kingdom through the Noble Red Society on a regular basis!
Being able to find out who the mole is so quickly is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.
Not to mention, Aiwass has not been exposed yet, he is still in the dark. It is not like in the game, where he was noticed by the opponent because he was too reckless.
But as a result, the current problem has become more complicated.
And among everyone present, including the killer... maybe only Aiwass truly understood the complexity of the current situation.
Because Aiwass also recognized it, what exactly is that unsheathed poison blade——
That is the iconic assassination weapon used by "Eagle Eye", an agent organization of Iris.
Its nature is completely different from that of the Inspectorate of Avalon. Although it is also considered a secret service, the white gloves of the Inspectorate belong to official organizations and authorities in every sense.
The Iris organization has always been a secret killer organization. They mainly carry out assassinations at home and rarely go abroad.
Because "Eagle Eye" is a killer organization, and the mysterious skills related to invisibility, stealth, and poison are all adapting to the path, and even the name of the organization has "Eagle". Therefore, they are generally considered to be from the black people who believe in the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
A secret society that escaped from the Eagle Principality.
——It wasn’t until the middle of version 4.0 that players learned for the first time that the secret leader of this killer organization was actually the Prime Minister of the Iris Kingdom himself!
The old prime minister used this assassin organization to assassinate political opponents who were of different factions from his own, and their capable subordinates, or he would act in reverse to wipe dirty water on their heads, or he would eliminate his own party's competitors. And all of this
They all pretended to be killing people on orders, creating a scene within Iris where two parties that believe in the path of love and beauty are vendetta against each other.
One of the core demands of the radical party to which the old Prime Minister Iris belongs is extreme racism. They advocate expelling the "Children of the Moon" in the country, imitating Avalon's method of purifying the path, and abandoning the inheritance of the path of love in the country.
To alleviate the increasingly fierce road conflicts within the Iris Kingdom.
As a result, Aiwass immediately thought of the beautiful and elegant senior sister that Aiden said gave him "Dracula".
He was also the person who would later connect Aiden with the racial force known as the "Children of the Moon".
Thinking of this, Aiwass looked at Aiden with a complicated expression.
Noticing Aiwass' gaze, Aiden scratched his head in confusion and looked back: "What's wrong, Aiwass?"
"fine."
Aiwass sighed, shook his head and asked warmly: "Of course, something as inconspicuous as a document may be hidden...for example, in a book that you carry with you. You are experienced in this,
I have to ask you to supervise it carefully, Director Gordon."
He couldn't just name him and say, "The murderer is a beautiful female student who likes to read." The deduction method is not that outrageous.
After all, Aiwass himself had never seen what she looked like.
Then we can only provide some accurate information one by one.
"...I'll go and see for myself."
The old knight thought for a while and felt that what Aiwass said made sense.
Looking at the back of Director Gordon going upstairs, Aiwass sighed.
——Let me tell you, Aiden, your bad girl radar is really accurate.
There are still three days left in this month, but the unprecedentedly hard-working cat has already updated 19w9k words this month!
The cat's rotating schedule has shifted to 10:50 in the morning. I have finished writing and haven't eaten dinner yet. I am hungry, sleepy, and dizzy... I plan to take a day off at the end of the month to keep my cat alive, tentatively scheduled for the 29th or 30th!
