Osiris, a dynasty that left only relics but few people talk about it.
Just like the two crowns that represent the prime ministers of the tower, most people except those in the Church of the Afterlife do not understand it.
The ancient city of Akka is the rumored capital of the Osiris Empire. It still stands on the red earth and belongs to the city-state. It is controlled by the Gray Bean Empire that won the eight-year war. Their port became the Gray Bean Empire.
Bain's concession, that is, the colony.
The ancient city of Acre was divided into Upper Acre and Lower Acre.
The upper and lower here are not simply dividing the city into two, but a conceptual name.
When the sun rises, the place it can shine on is Upper Akka, which is the Upper Crown.
The place where the sun never shines is Lower Akka, which is also the Lower Crown.
This corresponds to the prime minister of the tower - the double crown.
But in fact, as long as it is not located underground or in caves, there are few places that are not illuminated by the sun, so it later evolved into the Osiris Empire under the night, a land ruled by the King of the Lower Crown.
Of course, none of the above legends and historical stories are clear to Victor, but were answered patiently by Rianlong.
According to him, these were recorded in the book, but Victor had never read the book.
The history department of Sanfern Public University is quite good, and it seems that scholars who study ancient times all over the world hope to enter it for further study.
Victor suddenly remembered that Kino Lavras seemed to be a doctoral candidate at the Sanfern Public University. Maybe the ghoul and Rianlong would have many topics in common.
As soon as this idea came to him, Li Anlong suddenly gave his own unique insight.
"There is only one king, but there are two crowns. Whether the god is the god of the sun or the goddess of the moon depends on which crown he wears. So... I was wondering if the person we are looking for is actually the one we are looking for.
Have you always been under your nose?"
Hearing this speculation, Victor quickly reacted and secretly felt surprised.
"You mean...Missy is Glenn? They are actually the same person?"
Lianlong smiled, nodded and replied: "I also got the inspiration by chance after reading the book "South of Ryman Rand - Chronicle of the Red Continent". In fact, this conclusion can indeed explain the Hat Master.
The riddle I left behind."
"A crow is on a branch, a man gets up early, and a woman gets dressed. It means that it is the man who goes to bed at night, that is, Glenn. When he gets up, he starts to put on makeup and goes out in the appearance of a woman, which is how she becomes Missy.
It’s the first day.”
"The next day, a crow walked up to the window. This time it was Glenn who went out to work, but halfway through he made up again and became Missy. As a result, it was a woman who came home."
"On the third day, a crow flew into the house. Glenn was apparently dead. The woman could not change back to a man, so she was the only one to dine. Then for some unknown reason, she did not go to bed and left the empty place.
s home."
After some explanation, Victor suddenly became enlightened, and Li Anlong perfectly answered the problem of the disappearance of the corpse.
If Missy and Glenn are really played by the same person, they can indeed use the sightings of the postman and the thief to create a fake murder case. The purpose is to hide Glenn's identity to avoid the police.
and the capture of the white crown.
Following this reasoning, the death of postman Jimmy is intriguing. Did he really die in an accident?
Victor felt that he needed to ask the prostitute again.
But the question still exists, why didn't Missy go to see the performance of "Age of Steam"? Did she expect that Victor would be waiting for her in the Grand Theater?
Justin's case really has nothing to do with Missy?
That woman is still living in Saffron and has not left. Tony arranged a secret agent to monitor the apartment at all times without alerting the enemy. During this period, Missy did not find any abnormal behavior.
If it is a skill such as disguise, then Missy's disguise level may be even better than Augusta and Crow, and she can deceive her colleagues in the White Crown and the agents of the Intelligence Bureau.
Could it be that he is a performer?
Victor thought in shock, but immediately he rejected it, because if it was a performer, Missy wouldn't have to go to such trouble to make 'Glenn' fake his death... she could just change her identity to a Brass Tower employee and get through.
.
Thinking of this, he took out the key note in his pocket and took a look at it. It recorded Downey's physical characteristics in case he forgot it because it took too long.
Whenever he feels uncomfortable and dislocated about the world, he will take it out and take a look to avoid being deceived by the performer again.
Obviously, Missy is really not the same as Downey. After all, performers do not simply put on makeup, but use the behavior of pretending to be someone to disrupt the perceptions of people around them.
Whether it can be seen through depends on whether the victim is aware of the possibility of a performer.
Returning to the riddle, Victor found that there was another problem.
"Then how should we explain the last sentence? - 'The crow turned into a lark at night, and it took away the man? Or the woman?'"
Li Anlong sighed: "I haven't understood this part yet... Maybe, there really is this lark. He has been hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to protect men and women..."
Victor frowned. He continued to connect the key points of all the events and found that the connection between Glenn's case and the Grand Theater case actually occurred during the performance of "The Age of Steam".
Why didn't Missy go to the show? The show she was looking forward to so much, and she still had the poster at home, was suddenly absent...
Why did Justin choose to kill the actress that day? Later, the existence of the Clown Club was revealed, and its organizer, the Hat Master, said that he knew who Victor was looking for...
Glenn's intelligence exchange, spies, secrets of the Defense and Suppression Department and the Inspection Bureau were leaked...
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Victor's confused eyes, and he seemed to have remembered something.
Snapped!
Snapping his fingers, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"I probably know what's going on, or it came from your prompt..." Victor withdrew his gaze, stood up, and prepared to go find Tony, "Let's act now and arrest Missy first."
Rianlong put away the book with great satisfaction, stood up and followed Victor.
Victor's eyes squinted at Li Anlong's every move. He suddenly stopped and turned around to ask him: "I don't know if it's my imagination. I always feel..."
Li Anlong raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"I always feel that you are a genius!" Victor grinned, "Look, you are knowledgeable, clear in thinking, cautious and steady in your actions, and you can occasionally get very key clues. For example, how did you know that Tony loves gambling?
Really? I guess he won’t take the initiative to tell you.”
Li Anlong touched his brooch and answered confidently: "I am a fortune teller."
That means relying on divination?
Victor pretended to believe it, but after turning around, his face suddenly darkened.
Divination?
He thought to himself that he had come into contact with many diviners, some with divining staffs, some with pendulums, some with crystal balls, and some who just threw stones like Amanda.
But no diviner's ability is as...weird as Li Anlong's.
He could predict that Victor would take the Northern Faith a month in advance, but he couldn't use the divining staff to find the missing Glenn. Now he can divine Tony's preference for horse racing... His ability is sometimes weak, and sometimes very outrageous.
Society for Life…Theological Seminary…Ryanlon Mabinogion…
Victor had some doubts, could he be a spy placed by the Life Association in the Anti-Suppression Department?
The two came to Tony's office in silence, but the branch chief was not there.
Moreover, they immediately received shocking news from other detectives - Pickman sneaked out of the hospital without notifying anyone and disappeared without a trace!
