old dream

Chapter 320

Unexpectedly sharp.

Those who can stand out in the Garden Palace must be human beings, but even so, the intuition displayed by Bernice is still terrifying.

"...You guessed it right, I am indeed from the ninth game." Colin said.

He didn't lie, because the Investigation Department was indeed "subordinate" to the Ninth Bureau.Their members operate in the principality as police detectives.

If Bernice had the heart to check, she would only find Amo Gattuso's name in the list of members of the ninth inning.

In order to get more from the female officer, it is also necessary to disclose some information appropriately so that the two parties can talk.

"The ninth game." Bernice murmured, a look of amusement flashed in her eyes.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Huh? Did I laugh?" She suddenly regained that sly and complacent look, and cleared her throat:

"So the famous detective from the Ninth Bureau came here, what did he want to get from a little maid?"

"I think you've guessed it."

"Well."

I wanted to make a few jokes with this foreign youth, but I didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward.Bernice glanced at the empty doorway. This clothing store was her own place, so she didn't have to worry about monitoring.Instead she said:
"The Grand Duke's spies reported something to him."

"A few nights ago, Mrs. Tuwana was attacked by a spirit body. The spy hid in the dark and witnessed the whole process. She thought it was just an accident, and the Grand Duke agreed with her."

"Then did Tu Wana survive in the end?" Ke Lin asked.

"She survived, but she was smuggled out of the country by boat overnight." Bernice said:
"The Grand Duke may send someone to Otu, but it will take at least a few months before there is a reply. Of course, it is more likely that the Grand Duke will turn around and put this matter aside, because his troubles have been too much recently. too much."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, signaling the end of the message, and then asked:
"Do you need anything else?"

"Enough is enough," said Colin.

Be consistent with how you feel at the time.The Grand Duke's spies were indeed present on the night of the battle with the Djinn.But for some reason, this person quietly concealed the news in the end, and inadvertently helped him resolve a potential crisis.

But no matter what this secret agent is plotting, he already knows the existence of the investigation department.It may only be a matter of time before the two sides contact each other.

"But I'll need it later," she said.

Bernice raised the doll's little hand again, as if holding some rare treasure.

"Ah, the urge to make clothes has finally surged up." The maid said appreciatively:
"As long as you keep bringing her here, I can slowly tell you what I know."

"What else do you know?" Colin asked.

Bernice thought for a while, and replied seriously. :
"Maybe more than you think."

After all, she is someone close to the Grand Duke, Colin thought to himself.

"Tell me the news, aren't you afraid that something will happen to me?"

Just being a police detective in the Ninth Bureau doesn't make him appear reliable.Ordinary people may fear them, but in the eyes of the court, these secret agents are just a bunch of idiots who are good at making private money.Bernice should have heard such words in the Garden Palace, but unexpectedly, she told herself the news like this.

"What have I to be afraid of?" asked Bernice:
"Since the Grand Duke let me know, it means it's not too important. And..." The maid lowered her head slightly, kissed the back of Bode Ives's hand, and then said with a calm smile:
"You who can be liked by her should not be a bad person."

…………

…………

"It won't be a bad guy."

This was the first time that Colin received this evaluation from others, so he inevitably felt strange.

The good man Colin did not tell Elle about the existence of the spy.Because telling Ellie might be the same as telling Emil who was doing the conditioning for her.Once the Emir heard about it, the consequences could become unmanageable.

There is also a deep hint in him, fearing any possibility of direct conflict with the Grand Duke.So this news alone might make him scare himself to death.Or he would react like a beast, desperate to hunt and kill the spy.

After coming back from Bernice's shop, it was time for dinner. Colin sat alone on the chair in the dormitory dining room, took out the small photo in his pocket with his fingers, and flipped through it.

The woman who took a photo with Emil above was the previous operation officer before my arrival.

After discovering her existence, Colin began to collect information intentionally or unintentionally, but the entire investigation department could no longer find any trace of her, like a scar that was deeply hidden.The woman's death was a shared pain for the group, so no one ever brought it up.But as the "Commander" once again made the Grand Duke his number one target, certain memories resurfaced.

The heavy and tense atmosphere before and after the death of the woman quietly returned in the investigation department.

Ellie has been practicing swordsmanship in the training ground, and she simply sleeps there at night.Emile lived a completely opposite life from before.In the past, in order to maintain a large number of informants, he used to go to four or five romantic places every day.But once this duty was over, it turned out that he would rather stay alone in his small room all day long, tediously checking all the recorded information over and over again.

Except for Colin who had just arrived, Rui seemed to be the only person in the investigation department who was not affected by this atmosphere.

Rui put on the lace apron that did not match his burly body again, and was blowing a tune in front of the stove, frying a few small pieces of bone-in lamb chops.

"Aren't you worried?" Colin asked casually looking at the photo.

"What are you worried about?" The words didn't stop Ruy from whistling, and he poured the sauce into the pan.

"The action against the Grand Duke is about to begin." Colin said, "The strange silence recently has made the strings in everyone's hearts even tighter."

"They're still too young." Rui turned the lamb chops and said:

"Humans can't be counted as gods. Since it is impossible to control the outcome, why not be more brisk and elegant." He said:
"After all, there is a higher level of wisdom above the exhaustion of organs."

With a crisp sound of the knob, Rui turned off the gas.After garnishing with some herbs, he put the lamb chops in separate plates on the dining table, and pushed one of the plates in front of Colin.

"After experiencing the deepest powerlessness on the Senalite battlefield, I have matured somewhat, and it is better to maintain ease than to exhaust myself." Rui said:
"I think you have experienced it somewhere."

"Because I can smell the same breath on your body."
