In the hospital ward, Abigail was still sobbing hoarsely.
Aunt Rachel kept comforting her. At this time, the nurse's blocking sound came from outside the concierge, and a strange man broke in unscrupulously.
"Sir! I don't care what position you are in, the patient needs to rest!"
"I am investigating the truth behind the Yotun disaster, miss. If it delays my work, even your dean cannot afford it..."
The strange man's words successfully frightened the hospital nurse.
Aunt Rachel quickly stood up and looked at the other party with a frown.
"Who are you?"
The man took out his ID and showed it to her: "Velun Inspection Bureau, madam..."
Aunt Rachel doesn't know much about the Insurrection Bureau, but Abigail knows it.
She stopped crying, not wanting to look ugly in front of outsiders, and looked up at the person.
The arc of light on the other person's hair showed a blue color of calmness and doubt.
"Is it the same as the police station? Sorry, it's not convenient for my niece to see outsiders. Please give me..."
"Madam! The Inspection Bureau is responsible to the royal family and the Privy Council when handling cases, and its authority is far beyond that of law enforcement agencies. You can't stop me, thank you!"
Aunt Rachel was immediately confused when she heard this, and she was at a loss for a while.
Abigail leaned weakly on the bedside, her face expressionless, and she nodded feebly.
"Our lady has agreed. Madam, please step aside."
After the man finished speaking, he pulled out a stool and sat beside Abigail's bed.
He originally wanted to light the long cigarette pole, but suddenly realized something and quickly gave up.
"Forget it, I'll keep the story short and not waste your precious time. May I ask, are you Miss Abigail Gerstave Herman?"
Abigail nodded slightly.
"Hello, I am an investigator from the Intelligence Bureau, Daniel Martin. You can call me Daniel. I don't like people calling me Martin."
Abigail didn't respond and looked at the other person with a downcast look.
Daniel naturally took out his notes and pen from his pocket and continued to ask: "First question, on Samhain day, were you at the graduation dinner of Yotton College?"
"Well..." Abigail responded weakly, as if she was unwilling to speak.
"Okay, can you tell me why you broke into their graduation dinner? I know that you are not a scholar at Jotun College. You obviously sneaked in secretly that night."
After Daniel finished speaking, Aunt Rachel also looked at her niece curiously. She knew nothing about Abigail's situation that day.
"We..." Abigail's throat hurt, making it particularly uncomfortable to speak, "I'm going to find...Professor Carmen."
"Carmen Hesmos?"
Carmen's name seemed to be very famous, and Daniel knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it.
He didn't allow Abigail to answer, and began to analyze on his own: "I found out that you are a reporter from Velen Xinxing Newspaper. Why did you come to Yodon? Is there any topic that needs to be consulted by Professor Carmen recently?"<
/p>
Abigail raised her eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This guy is obviously a quick-thinking agent, and his guess is quite accurate.
"But I'm still very surprised. Even if you're asking Professor Carmen for professional advice, you shouldn't show up at the Yorton College graduation dinner..."
Daniel stood up from his chair, closed his notebook and continued thinking: "In the prayer room inside the ruins, our agents found traces of the invisible art, which was probably related to the catastrophe in the harbor area, and you were
I happen to be in the prayer room too...let me guess...did you discover something early in the morning?"
Daniel suddenly put his face in front of Abigail, and his hawk-like eyes seemed to pierce her!
Aunt Rachel saw her niece was frightened and hurriedly pulled him away.
"Don't be nervous, this is my professional habit and I will never touch this lady..."
Daniel put away Aunt Rachel's hands, shook his collar, and then continued to say to Abigail: "Does this disaster have anything to do with you?"
Abigail was originally emotionally unstable, but when the other party suspected her, her breathing gradually became rapid.
Her throat was still sore, and she opened her mouth to refute, but finally shook her head vigorously.
"That's good! You are also a victim of this disaster. I really don't want to suspect that such a poor lady will be the culprit of the disaster."
"Enough! I don't care about the Privy Council and the royal family. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will throw you out!" Aunt Rachel pointed at Daniel's nose and cursed angrily.
"Okay! Okay! It's just a joke." Daniel spread his hands and asked, "What about Professor Carmen? Is he the murderer who caused the disaster?"
Hearing this, Abigail's face lifted up instantly.
She nodded fiercely, her eyes filled with tears and burning hatred.
"Really? It was because you discovered Professor Carmen's conspiracy that you broke into the banquet hall of Yotton School. Oh...you wanted to stop him?"
Being guessed by the other party, Abigail continued to nod vigorously.
"I understand, it's a very useful clue." Daniel began to take notes, "But why did he do this? Do you know?"
Abigail's hateful eyes suddenly turned into doubt.
Seeing her shaking her head, Daniel shrugged and stopped asking.
However, when he was almost done recording, he suddenly said casually: "Is the statue in the prayer room yours? Or is it Professor Carmen's?"
Hearing this, Abigail was shocked.
Statue?
Sheep skull statue?
Something she used to perform rituals to enter the secret residence and contact Mr. Yi!
Could it be that the statue was not corrupted by the dark matter, but was completely preserved? Has it now fallen into the hands of the Inspection Bureau?
Abigail's face was uncertain, and her fleeting expression of surprise was instantly captured by Daniel.
"Is it Professor Carmen's?" Dardaniel raised his head with a meaningful smile on his lips, "Maybe it's a prop he used to perform this evil ritual? Right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The other party's pretense of doubt completely derailed Abigail, making her not sure whether she should tell the truth or not.
What reporter would be okay with carrying such a mysterious statue around?
Moreover, the sheep skull statue happened to appear at the scene where Professor Carmen held the Dark Moon Ceremony. If Abigail admitted that it was hers, then the Inspection Bureau would definitely suspect whether she had colluded with Carmen.
As a result, her confession will be problematic.
But if she doesn't admit it...she won't be able to get the statue back, and she won't be able to see Mr. Yi.
This is a difficult choice. Abigail now particularly needs Mr. Yi's help and cannot give up the sheep skull statue.
Unlike Adolf, she never mentioned to Mr. Yi how she entered the secret place.
When Victor communicates with them, he always adheres to the principle of equal exchange.
The method of "meditating into dreams" should be regarded as a bargaining chip for Victor, used to trick members into exchanging objects and information.
All this time, Abigail and Victor had only exchanged stories and information, and they had never talked about the method of falling into a dream.
If she didn't mention it herself, Victor certainly wouldn't take the initiative to teach her, so until now, Abigail relies on the statue to fall asleep.
If she wants her things back, she must explain the origin of the sheep skull statue to the man in front of her.
Whether it is possible to convince the other party is unknown.
Moreover, the statue and the incense stick were placed together. If the incense still exists, it must have been taken away by the Inspection Bureau.
After struggling for a long time, Abigail organized the words in her mind.
But when she was about to speak, Daniel suddenly closed the notebook, stuffed the pen into his coat pocket, took off his hat and bowed to her.
"Okay, the information I got today is critical enough. Due to your physical condition, I won't force you to answer questions anymore... As for the next thing, let's talk about it after you are discharged from the hospital!"
