According to Aiwass's memory in this life, Minister Drost was a friend of old Moriarty. They had a pretty good personal relationship.
He is a loyal and powerful minister of the Queen's faction, and has a good relationship with the Moriarty family. Moreover, he is also a minister who is very capable, honest and has no desire for power. Without enough evidence, this kind of pillar of the kingdom
It is definitely impossible to pull it - even if there is evidence, it may not be possible to pull it directly.
"Very capable at work, honest and without lust for power..."
Aiwass silently chewed the key words of Old Drost in his heart.
He had felt something was wrong before, but because of Lily's dark history, he didn't react.
Thinking about it now, Minister Drost seems a little too perfect in areas other than his private life:
An official who is very capable and honest at work will have some upward ambition; an official who is very capable at work and does not intend to continue to be promoted will probably not be very honest; and an official who is honest and has no desire for power will probably not be very honest.
, he usually has no abilities at all.
This is basically an impossible triangle, but old Drost satisfies all three at the same time.
No wonder. It turns out he is a mole, so it makes sense.
... Could it be that old Droste was also one of the chess pieces manipulated by Moriarty?
Aiwass was sitting in a wheelchair, the fingers of his right hand tapping the armrest rhythmically, lost in thought.
On the other side, Director Gordon led people from the Inspection Bureau to carefully interrogate everyone on the second floor of the White Shoes Club.
He attached great importance to the opinions given by Aiwass. Therefore, he took two of the most experienced supervisors to personally check whether there were documents hidden in all members' packages and personal belongings.
Chloe stood quietly in the corner and gently pushed up her glasses, no one noticed her presence.
She has a beautiful and bright appearance, and short caramel-colored curly hair that gives people a warm and sweet feeling. At this moment, she is not wearing a school uniform, but a backless white dress that is only worn in summer or at banquets.
Dress, with a badge of crystal dancing shoes on the chest.
In the early winter of November, such an outfit will definitely be impressive.
But everyone around Chloe seemed to have not seen her. Her appearance and clothes became ordinary under the influence of those glasses.
It was as if she was no different from anyone else. As long as the eyes left her for a moment, her existence would no longer be seen, just like a bubble in a dream.
Chloe was holding a stack of books in her arms, hiding in the corner and watching all this quietly.
...There are capable people in the Supervision Bureau.
No, to be precise, it should be the young man named Aiwass Moriarty who has some magic. Chloe thought to herself.
Until just now, the situation was under Chloe's control.
If she did not use "Eagle Feather" but simply poisoned, it would be difficult for the people of Avalon to realize that Secretary Rafe was killed by a professional assassin. If she poisoned him at Rafe's house, the outcome would probably be the same -
—The cause of his death will be covered up by the Trade Secretary.
And her mission as a killer is to make Rafe's death conspicuous, to make him die in a suspicious manner in front of everyone.
Because of Raph's special cause of death and his remaining documents, the Avalonians will begin to suspect that... Raph was conducting intelligence transactions with foreigners, and was immediately silenced after giving out key information.
Then they will start investigating those files.
Although those files were basically composed of code words, Chloe believed in the analysis and decoding abilities of the young man from the Hermes family. He had already investigated the "Sweater Brotherhood" and found those alchemical bombs. He must have realized it soon.
, this document must be related to the port smuggling case.
After that, the Minister of Trade will naturally be involved. His connection with the Star Antimony people may be discovered, and even other ministers who have connections with the Star Antimony will also be discovered.
And this is Chloe's mission as an agent.
Although neither Avalon nor Star Antimony is a good thing for the Iris Kingdom, it is now a critical moment for Iris, and it is best for Avalon not to cause problems at this time.
They need to try to keep Avalon and the Star Antimonians hostile, but at the same time maintain a balance between the two sides. Ensure that they do not enter a state of war, but they can continue to drain the strength of the two countries.
In Avalon, there are many agents like her who have sneaked in.
Their purpose is to alleviate the hostility of the Avalonians towards the Iris people in Avalon, and to increase the hatred of the Avalonians towards the Star Antimony people. At the appropriate point, they will help the knights who are restrained by their armor to break free.
The many constraints entangled in them——
The knights of Avalon are only bound by the road and must obey orders; and are bound by the oath of loyalty and cannot harm the royal family.
But in fact, as long as they don't have the idea of "replacing", they will not deviate from the path.
In other words, they just cannot usurp the king's power.
Then, just let the royal family still exist, but lose the power to control them.
As long as the royal family no longer has the power of the authoritarian path, the knights can take off their armor and follow the example of Iris to form a cabinet.
The power that belongs to the authoritarian path is ultimately suppressed from top to bottom, layer by layer - the mysterious skills of the authoritarian path are "leadership" and "speech" and have nothing to do with loyalty.
Even if there are knights who are willing to surrender to the royal family from the bottom of their hearts... but if there are kind-hearted people to help them break free, they will never feel uncomfortable about it.
Just as the path of beauty may lean toward the path of equilibrium or the path of dusk, the path of authority may tend toward transcendence and love.
Power will increase ambition and amplify desire. She knows very well how to deal with people who are prone to love.
Chloe's main mission is to publicize the dangers and terror of the Moon Children in Avalon.
This is an advance preparation to prevent the Children of the Moon from joining Avalon after being expelled by Iris.
And a few days ago, she suddenly received a task from her superiors——
Her superior asked her to find a way to stop the Star Antimony Kingdom's conspiracy and try to expose the Minister of Trade, at least to put him into a dormant state. As a clue, her superior gave her the name "Raff" and his contact information.
She managed to steal the "Noble Red" ring stored in the Supervision Bureau and replaced it with a fake. She used it to forge her identity and sent the ring to Secretary Rafe along with a letter of urgent appointment with the other party.
Ask him to meet here.
Fortunately, the base of the "Sweater Brotherhood" was discovered by Sherlock Hermes, otherwise it would be really hard for her to date.
It was with great difficulty that Secretary Raf came out with the documents.
It's just a pity.
...It would be better if Aiwass didn't appear here today.
Chloe frowned.
She had actually seen Princess Isabel just now. To be on the safe side, it was actually best not to take action.
But after all, she is not a member of the Noble Red Society. If Secretary Raff communicates with the Minister of Trade after returning, it will be easy to see through her false identity. It will be more difficult to ask him to a public place next time.
So she thought about it and decided to take the risk.
This is a risk, but it is also undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
Because this matter directly involves the safety of Her Royal Highness, an unknown transcendent assassin has sneaked into the club... Raf will definitely be thoroughly investigated.
But what Chloe didn't expect was that Aiwass immediately realized that she might have taken away some documents.
The extraordinary power that comes from adapting to the path allows her to hide her figure, and also allows her to hear the following conversation clearly from such a distance.
Her heart was filled with doubts and surprises.
——How did Aiwass reason?
She took away part of the documents completely on a temporary basis.
Because Princess Isabel was here, Chloe was worried that the Minister of Trade would react too quickly and arrange for someone to take back all the documents as soon as possible. Therefore, she specially left a part as evidence.
The document was scattered all over the floor when Rafe fell, and it is normal for one or two pages to be missing. Maybe someone present stole it.
If the Trade Secretary cleans up his mess, Chloe can anonymously publish the documents he secretly took in the newspaper and continue to put pressure on the Trade Secretary.
She was full of doubts.
Before taking action, Chloe used detective thinking to review her actions.
Logically speaking, if someone silences himself to obtain information, then he can take away all the documents. If he takes away some and leaves more, it will become more conspicuous; therefore, this behavior is illogical and inconsistent with the first interest.
. And if he takes away all the documents, then I'm afraid it will take a while for the Supervision Bureau to investigate and find out that the documents are missing...
Therefore, from this perspective, if Aiwass is really a qualified detective, he should rule out the possibility that "someone silenced Rafe after conducting intelligence transactions with Rafe" at the first time, and think about the problem as
More complex.
——In the end, Aiwass really stopped at this step and asked Director Gordon to check the documents they carried with them.
No, do you understand it or not?
Rafe fell down the building with a pile of documents. This seems unnatural no matter how you look at it? Would a real killer make such a stupid mistake?
From the perspective of Chloe, who knew everything, she realized that Aiwass's reasoning was obviously unnatural.
Is he really in vain?
But in that case, why would he take the initiative to interfere in Director Gordon's investigation?
He even said it directly, and the document was in the book - as if he had seen what he had done.
Because she really hid the documents in the book.
That information is just a code word. If it is only one or two pieces, it will not be easy for anyone to detect it if you fold it and put it in a book.
When no one is stealing information, just steal one or two documents from a pile. If Director Gordon is left to investigate on his own, his experience will tell him that this is impossible.
However, Aiwass persuaded Director Gordon to come and search in person.
That wouldn't be good.
The biggest problem here is that Gordon is very strong.
Her glasses were enchanted with the spell of the authoritative path of "Cannot Look Directly", which gave her the ability to not be caught by people's eyes. Those supervisors with too low energy levels could not see her at all. Just like those members
None of them could see who killed the secretary.
Gordon may not be able to beat her, but his strength is similar to hers. And he is the true transcendent who belongs to the authoritarian path.
It's possible that he will see through his own psychological invisibility.
Although as an elite agent, Chloe was confident that Gordon would not be able to kill her. If one-on-one, there was a high probability that she could counterattack in a short time.
But she also heard that there was a large group of air cavalry outside.
She didn't want to run into those in the army.
But because of Aiwass's instructions, Gordon had already come here personally.
Chloe can't move at all now. She will be noticed if she moves, and Gordon can also notice her when he walks next to her. Unless Gordon happens to turn around and leave before walking over, it can be said that she has been exposed
.
But Chloe wasn't very nervous.
Because she still has a trump card!
Although the outside was completely surrounded by air cavalry, it was impossible for her to break out head-on. However, as a transcendent adapted to the road and an elite assassin, she had many ways to survive even if her infiltration failed.
Thinking this, she looked at Aiwass.
Before Gordon approached, Chloe pushed up her glasses again. Holding a stack of books, her body quietly melted into a thick shadow.
This is her path characteristic, and she has chosen "Shadow Affinity" three times.
——This is also the confidence that makes Chloe confident that she can definitely escape.
