In an old house on the same street, one hundred meters away from Essinger Stanton's house, several figures were either standing in front of the window or sitting in the living room. The former's eyes were fixed on Dai Li who walked into the house.
Simone, the latter looked at the picture on the white wall, which also showed Dai Li wrapped in a black robe.
This picture is projected from a round hole in front of a silver rectangular box. The surface is either hollowed out or embossed with the sun, moon, stars and other things. Although it looks complicated, if you study carefully, you can find that it seems to be the same as the sun, moon and stars in the sky.
One corresponds to the other, and the moon is emitting a dull crimson light.
Sitting in the best position is a tall man with unusually broad shoulders, which makes his black formal suit look tight. He has a cold appearance, a large beard, and deep blue eyes. Even with his arms folded across his chest, you can tell
His arms are slightly longer.
Qonas Kilger, Major General and Deputy Director of MI9, is in charge of the Sealed Artifact Team. The item on the table was brought by him. It is called "Projection of Light" and corresponds to the "Astronomer" of Sequence 5.
The maker is said to be Emperor Russell, because it is very similar to something in his manuscript.
"Light projection" can use the light of sunlight, moonlight or even stars to project everything around them exposed to these lights. Sunlight can attack things in the picture, moonlight is the most secretive, and stars have the largest range, but the latter two can only be used in
Can only be used at night.
As for the negative effects, even the "appraisers" and "craftsmen" within MI9 cannot determine how to avoid them. Because most of the time the user is safe, and occasionally the user suddenly dies or loses control.
But no common ground has been found.
The only thing I know is that using it at night is very risky, especially when using starlight projection.
When Daly Simone stepped into this street, Qonas noticed her, and when she stopped in front of Isengard Stanton, everyone in the house began to observe her.
"She discovered us." Seeing Dai Li's smile, a young man wearing a black metal mask standing behind Qonas whispered.
"She is an extraordinary person." Another man wearing a golden mask made a judgment.
"Take her portrait to investigate her identity."
Qonas raised his right hand and waved it casually, as if he didn't care.
In fact, monitoring Isengard Stanton itself is not his task, but is the responsibility of Major General Gutierrez of the action team. However, the other party is currently busy with the upcoming marriage of the eldest princess Delina, so he will temporarily leave this matter to
Gave it to him.
The other people in the house still belong to the action team, but they don't know the purpose of monitoring Essinger.
Qonas, who knew the purpose, had no hope at all for this kind of action. A mere ten thousand pounds was nothing to those who sabotaged the royal family's plan. Any demigod could earn it in a short time.
It is necessary to take such a big risk.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
But even so, he had to sit here personally to see if he could seize that slim chance.
Similarly, he did not think that the woman who came to visit Isengard was related to the person they were looking for.
…
"Mr. Stanton, I am Daly Simone, the 'Nighthawk' of the Church of the Night. I have something to ask you."
The slightly ethereal voice echoed in the small living room, which was not spacious. Isengard Stanton, who had already stood up and was holding a pipe, did not appear too surprised. He nodded and said:
"Is there anyone who needs my help?"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of verifying his identity, Dai Li was a little surprised:
"You know me?"
"Haha, although I have never seen it, I have heard of it." Essinger waved his assistant to leave, and he sat on the rocking chair in front of the fireplace and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Really?" Daley was not polite and sat opposite Essinger, "This case involves a person, Mr. Stanton's friend, Sherlock Moriarty, who is also a detective."
Essinger, who has gray hair on his temples and a hint of silver in his eyebrows, frowned, and his light blue eyes flashed with a thoughtful look:
"He has left Backlund, saying he went to Disi Bay for vacation, but he has not come back until now. I think he must have encountered some trouble and hid. You know, a great detective like him is
It's easy to offend people.
Haha, I inferred this from his previous letter. He entrusted me to sell his shares in Backlund Bicycle Company. The business prospects of this company are very good and may increase many times in the future, but now he
It needs to be sold. But the buyer paid a high price, and she is the daughter of Earl Hall. I think there will be bicycles on the streets of Backlund in the future."
At this moment, Essinger is like a nagging old man, not a great detective at all.
In fact, when he realized that he was being watched, he was thinking about how he would explain it if someone came to his door. Originally, he wanted to say that he encountered difficulties and had to sell the shares that Sherlock had given him to hold on his behalf, but a need
Nearly ten thousand pounds is also difficult to find.
So he could only choose to say that Sherlock wrote to him to help sell these shares.
But he didn't expect that the Church of the Night was also investigating Sherlock Moriarty. Could it be that someone noticed that Gehrman Sparrow and Sherlock Moriarty were the same person?
When Essinger saw the news about Gehrman Sparrow in Backlund, he was also shocked. This was completely different from the Sherlock he had in mind. But being from the Church of Knowledge, he quickly
I understand that this should be the other party's acting.
"Oh? Can I read the letter?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. He said in the letter that he would burn it after receiving it. He should be worried that someone would use divination to find him. I would like to ask what exactly Sherlock is involved in. If he can't tell, then forget it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Isinger who had no special reaction and only showed a worried look, Dai Li was a little unsure for a moment, but still expressed this matter
It cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
"Well, his letter didn't tell me how to give him the money for selling the shares. There should be a letter later. If the letter doesn't say to burn it, I will inform you."
Facing Isengard Stanton, Dai Li failed to achieve her goal before coming and had to leave.
…
Seeing the figure gradually moving away from the screen, Qonas Kilgor knocked on the armrest and only glanced at the masked man next to him without saying a word. Although he did not think this was an effective method, he still had to do what needed to be done.
.
But before the masked man left the living room, a woman wearing a mask ran down from the second floor:
"The person who came to Essinger is the deacon of the Church of the Night, Daly Simone."
The masked man's movement when he was about to twist the doorknob suddenly became stiff. He turned around and turned his attention to Qonas, who was temporarily in charge of this task:
"Your Mightiness……"
"Church of Night?"
Qonas ignored the masked man's question, and there was some doubt on his cold face. Although he knew the purpose of this operation and was specifically responsible for providing slaves for a certain plan of the royal family, when it came to the deacons of the Church of the Night, this
Things are not that simple anymore.
Is the Church of the Night aware of the royal family's plan, or is it just a coincidence.
After a moment of silence, he took a breath and said:
"Now that I know the identity, I will give up tracking and I will report it to the superiors later. In addition, a special team will be set up to investigate the relevant information about Daly Simone."
"yes."
The masked man breathed a sigh of relief. If Lord Qonas allowed him to continue to follow him, he would not only risk offending the Church of the Night, but also risk exposing this operation.
…
Pinster No. 7.
"You mean someone is secretly spying on Isengard Stanton?" Leonard Mitchell, who had just returned home and heard the news, smoothed his hair, "It's the great detective because of something.
Offended someone?"
"No, the person responsible for monitoring is a professional. If I hadn't communicated with the spirits around me, even my inspiration wouldn't be able to detect them. Either they were extraordinary people who were good at hiding and monitoring, or they used special sealed objects. Originally, I
I thought I would be followed after I left, so I went to St. Samuel’s Church first.”
Dai Li looked at the paper on the coffee table filled with questions and clues, and there seemed to be flames dancing in her green eyes.
"I suspect that the people under surveillance also came to see Sherlock Moriarty. Before I went there, I found a clue that Isengard Stanton was selling the bicycle company that Sherlock had given him to hold on his behalf.
Those people probably came here based on this clue.
It's just that Essinger's reasons are very good, and it also confirms that Shylock is under some kind of threat. But since he is selling shares, he must need the money, but I arranged to keep the two spirits there to be exorcised. No
I don’t know if it was Essinger who did it, or the group of people who secretly monitored it.”
Leonard was also looking at the piece of paper carefully, with a series of names written on it: Talim Dumont, Allen Kress and the other party's wife, Velma Gladys, who was seven months pregnant, Yin En
Wright, Eisinger Stanton.
Klein, what on earth are you doing?
Suddenly, he remembered the old man's reminder and quickly said:
"There is another person, Rawls Adrian, who is a friend of Talim and Allen and a member of the Cragg Club. Although he has not met Sherlock, he also has problems."
"What's the problem? Who is he?" Daly wrote "Rolls Adrian" after the series of names.
"It's just a feeling that he is Viscount Derian who was just consecrated in the New Year and can meet directly with His Excellency Saint Anthony."
Leonard pushed everything to his own feelings, and then saw Dai Li looking at him strangely for a while, and then said:
"It shouldn't be a big problem if I can meet with His Excellency Saint Anthony, but I believe in your feeling."
Leonard, who originally wanted to name Dwayne Dantès, gave up after thinking about it. One of them already made Ms. Daly confused. If he found another one, he would probably be on the list.
…
At 10 o'clock in the evening, it started to rain lightly again in Backlund. The thin mist gave the light of the gas street lamp a hazy beauty.
Isengard Stanton's assistant Bowen walked around the ground floor, walked to the oriel window, and prepared to close the last window.
At this moment, a black shadow jumped in and landed firmly on the protruding wall.
This is actually a blue short-haired stray cat!
After the stray cat revealed that he was Sherlock Moriarty, Bowen was shocked but still closed the last window sensibly. He walked to the second floor with the blue short-haired stray cat with its tail raised and quick steps.
Knocked on the door of Essinger Stanton's bedroom.
"What's the matter?" Essinger, wearing light striped pajamas, opened the door and asked.
He is enjoying a bedtime tobacco.
Bowen cautiously pointed to the blue short-haired cat squatting next to him and said:
"Mr. Sherlock Moriarty is looking for you."
Essinger, who had gray hair on his temples and a thin face, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced down, took two steps back, and allowed the blue short-haired cat to strut into his bedroom.
"Go back to your room and sleep, and get up on time tomorrow. We still have a suspect waiting to be traced." Essinger ordered Bowen as if nothing had happened.
After the assistant left, he closed the door, turned to look at the blue short-haired cat squatting next to the easy chair, and chuckled:
"I didn't expect you to have such extraordinary abilities, and I was worried that you would come directly."
"I noticed the exclamation point." The blue shorthair cat said with a smile.
Essinger took a puff of his pipe, sat on the easy chair, slowly exhaled the gas with enjoyment, and said with a smile:
"I believe in your wisdom, but now things have taken a new turn."
The blue short-haired cat, who was about to thank the compliment and was about to extend his paw politely and salute, was stunned for a moment:
"What's new?"
"In the afternoon, Daley Simone from the Church of the Night came to me and said that you were involved in a scandal."
who?
The blue shorthair cat's expression became a little dull and shocked, and its eyes instantly enlarged and filled with eyes.
Ms. Dai Li has checked everything here?
Even though he knew that after Sherlock Moriarty's identity was exposed, as Daly and Leonard's official "Nighthawk" status, the investigation would definitely be fast, but this speed was too fast.
Even if you are mentally prepared, you will inevitably lose your mind when you hear it.
Sherlock knew Daly Simone... Essinger stroked his pipe and squinted his eyes. Even though there was a cat between them, he still made an inference instinctively.
"She left two spirits near my house, probably waiting for you to come to the door, but I dispersed them after she left. As for the group of people secretly monitoring me, they should be following her... I just don't know
Will she be concerned about her status as the "Nighthawk" of the Church of the Night? There should be demigods among them."
Although he has never met those people face to face, Essinger has already guessed which side those people belong to.
"Thank you very much for reminding."
Klein first thanked her, and then quickly completed the ritual of sacrificing the money to himself. He wanted to quickly confirm Ms. Dai Li's safety.
