Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 126 I really want to escape

331
Fors walked back and forth anxiously in the living room, her eyes occasionally glanced at the letter from the editorial department on the table, and she took a step back as if she was scalded.

Angels, angels... Mister Edward is most likely an angel!Demon Angel?Oh my god!Will it be the same name? "Edward" is a common name for Ruen, and at least two or three men will turn their heads if you shout it on the road, and the surname "Vaughn" is also considered common... But the most important thing is that people who have both of them will not too much!At least in Backlund, the ignorant I know only one...

But that gentleman doesn't look like a devil, does he?Gentle and kind, considerate and approachable, like the goddess of the night or the believer of the god of steam, but the devil must be able to disguise, and Mr. Edward also encountered "Hurricane Vice Admiral" Qilingus with us once before. I can't figure out how to get out of trouble at that time, I only know that Qilingus died later.

Difficult, could it be that Qilingus was killed by Mr. Edward?Fors began to lose control of her imagination.

Mister Fool may be reminding me that He, He is really a considerate and great existence...

She reluctantly praised a few words in her heart, but Fors still felt like she was about to cry.

Suddenly, she thought of something, threw herself on her desk and frantically flipped through the calendar that she had never cared about since she finished handing in the manuscript. After tearing up more than ten pages, Fors finally saw today's date: December 12 day, monday.

It's already the end of December, so it should be normal for me to leave Backlund for vacation now... I still have a lot of money in my bank account this year, so I have to take Hugh with me. She is also someone who met Mr. Edward... Foer Si opened the drawer and found his passbook from the crack of a book. The remuneration for this play was 150 pounds, which was quite generous.

Now that I have connected with the Abraham family, there is a high probability that I will not need to pay for the formula in the future. The money alone is enough for Xio and I to live in Jianhai County or East Tucker County for two or three months, no, no, sometimes Sea County is too close to Backlund, I have to travel far, and I have enough funds, why don't you try Disey County, a seaside city that is said to be warm and relaxing? ...Ahhh, please, Your Highness Angel, don't take me as a small person in your eyes!Mr. Edward, please forget about Fors Wall as soon as possible!

Fors walked around the room with her passbook, thinking of Miss Audrey for a while, thinking about whether to go out and buy a steam train ticket immediately, and then thinking that Disey County is located in the southwest of the kingdom, while Backlund is in the northeast Fang, if you take the steam train, you have to buy a sleeper for three days and two nights. Perhaps it is more convenient and quick to take a boat from the Tussock River to the sea and transfer to a passenger ship along the coast...

"click".

With a soft sound, the door lock was unlocked, and Xiu, who was wearing the apprentice knight uniform, entered the room. From the unclosed door of the living room, he saw Fors circling the room while pulling her hair and making weird noises. Xio was speechless: "Are you out of control?"

"No, no. Ah, Hugh! You're back!"

Forsi stopped her raving immediately, and ran to Xio in three steps at a time. One of the slippers was thrown away:
"Hugh, I've saved enough money. Let's go to Dixie Bay for vacation together this year? We can spend the whole winter there!"

Xio gave her a strange look: "It's only the 20th now, are you going to spend the New Year in Disi Bay? How many more months will you stay?"

"It's far away from Backlund, and the letter has to travel on the road for at least a week, which will greatly affect your work as a writer. If it's a month or a few weeks, it's okay. Will a whole winter be too long?"

I can't wait to settle directly in Dixie Bay!Fors wailed in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face: "Yes! Because I got a lot of royalties this time, I plan to take a long vacation and bring you with me..."

The little girl thought about it seriously, and then seriously rejected Forsi: "It's too early now, MI[-] has given me a lot of tasks recently. And I have to accumulate credits to exchange for potions and formulas, I'm afraid I can't accompany you." You are so long, it is easy to miss the task when you ask for leave, not to mention that the leave can only be for a week. Forsi, if you are going to Disi Bay, remember to write to me and wish you a happy New Year holiday."

No, no, I can't leave you alone in Backlund...!
Forsi's smile became a little stiff, she racked her brains, trying to make up an excuse:

"Uh, it's like this. I got news from an extraordinary party. It is said that another very dangerous cultist has infiltrated Backlund... You also saw the serial murder case and the Duke's assassination last time. Mr. I feel that Backlund is not safe during this time, I would like to ask you to go out together to avoid the limelight..."

Xio looked at Fors with caring eyes: "Fors, thank you for thinking about me... But do you still remember what my potion is called?"

"Uh...sheriff..."

"That's right." Xio patted Forsi's shoulder with his hands, and said to her kindly, "When Backlund is in danger, it happens to be the time when we need to act. Now you can tell me the information about this dangerous person." me."

"If the source is reliable, I will report it to MI[-] immediately so that this problem can be solved from the root cause."

Forsi shook her head frantically when she heard the words: "No, no, this is just... just a piece of news! It's probably a rumor. Someone mentioned it casually at the party. I don't even know what that person looks like. Where can I go to verify the source? And authenticity?" Sorry! Mister Fool!
Xio's eyes were already very strange. After deliberating for a while, she chose to ask tentatively in a softer tone:
"Fors, have you been under too much pressure recently? You are abnormal today, maybe you really need a vacation."

The topic went around and came back here, and Forsi stood slumpedly holding her hair for a while, unable to think of a reason.Xio frowned and looked at the cohabitant who was not quite right in every way today, wondering if the other party had been hit by something, but it was difficult to ask.She was about to walk by and return to her room when Fors suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Hugh, since that's the case, let me tell the truth."

Forsi said very seriously, Xio also straightened her back.

"I recently had a new idea for a novel. This idea is very challenging for me, so I may not go out for the next month or so. I will concentrate on research at home and finish the work as soon as possible."

"Ah, so you want to go to Dixie for a vacation because you want to change the environment, and it has something to do with the material for your new novel?" Xio thought so naturally. If this is the case, then it is understandable.

"Yes, yes, that's it." Fors beamed with joy. As a writer, she is well aware of the importance of blank space. She only needs to give a general reason, and sometimes the person she communicates with will automatically help her think better. excuse.With this excuse, she is more comfortable lying, "I want to invite you to come, but if you don't have a long vacation now, then think about it later... I mean, I probably won't for the next month or so Going out, so I have to ask you to help me buy food...?"

Xio was taken aback: "Forsi, are you going to stay behind closed doors for a month? Oh my god, what a determination! I will definitely help you."

After finishing speaking, she was not sure: "You really decided not to go out? You don't go to Lauder Cafe either? There is your favorite coffee there."

God, Hugh, stop talking, my heart is already hurting...

Fors forced herself to show a disapproving smile. I like to sit in that coffee shop for a long time, order a cup of coffee and a cake and write for an afternoon. You know, Mr. Edward knows too!When we collaborated on the script before, we made appointments there several times!

It didn't take long for Klein to arrive at the royal manor, and he met his employer this time—the third prince, a young man wearing white trousers, high black boots, a slim shirt, and a dark riding uniform.

He took off the helmet-shaped hat that protected his head, smiled and said to Klein:

"I finally see you, Detective Moriarty."

Seeing him, Clayton's eyes lit up, not because he was so handsome, but because he resembled Henry Augustus I printed on the 5-pound note.Edessaac Augustus also has a round face and a pair of narrow eyes, but he is not serious at all, but always smiling, young and energetic.

"I didn't know that it was Your Highness the Prince who entrusted me." Klein bowed and bowed.

Edesak held the whip, weighed it in his palm, and said with a smile:

"I heard that you played an important role in the 'Serial Killer' and 'Apostle of Desire' cases. Talim's recommendation is really good, hey, who would have thought that he was racing horses with me a few days ago Thus departed from this world, and went to the land of storm and lightning."

Since the founding of the country, the Augustus family has always believed in the "Lord of Storms".

Before Klein could answer, he said with a deep expression, "I didn't go through the investigation of Talim's death. Mr. Moriarty, I hope you can help me find out the truth."

The conclusions drawn by the rest of the royal family?Your two older brothers?Prince, you firmly believe that there is something wrong with Talim's death. Is it because you are unwilling to accept the reality, or is there really a problem?If there is really a problem, other people should also find out. There must be many extraordinary people in the royal family, and there are many who are good at psychic or solving puzzles... I can't bear this level of strife at first... Also, Your Highness, your style is really straightforward... Klein sighed:
"Although it is a pity, I heard that Talim died of a sudden heart attack."

"Really? I really hope so, but I always have doubts about my friend's sudden departure. Heh, I heard that there is an excellent doctor among his friends who often walk around. What's more, Talim is still an equestrian Coach. If I have a heart problem, how could I be able to withstand strenuous exercise at work? And the perfunctory investigation results of others have deepened my suspicion." Prince Edsack laughed self-deprecatingly.

In other words, you have not found any substantive evidence, you can only rely on speculation and plausible inferences, the royal family gave you the results of the investigation, but you don't believe it... You are so stubborn, but you have a stubborn friend like you, Tully Maybe Tom would be happy?
Klein felt sad, but he could only respond with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you should know my principles. I want to live another 50 years."

"Isn't Talim your friend?" Prince Edesak asked immediately.

Klein was not knowing how to answer when a maid suddenly came from the main room, quickly approached the prince, and said a few words in a low voice.

Ed Sack immediately put on a straight face:
"Tell her not to go out!"

After he finished speaking, he took two steps, his serious expression softened, and his blue eyes became softer and helpless:
"But I allowed her to leave the room and walk around the manor at will."

The scene in front of him instantly reminded Klein of the romance story told by Talim Dumont:
He had a noble friend who fell in love with a commoner woman, and he would not marry unless she was the only one, which was absolutely not allowed in the top circle of the nobility. He persuaded the woman to leave his friend on her own initiative.

Could it be that the protagonist of this story is Edsaac Augustus?The situation in all aspects is very consistent. As a prince, marrying a commoner is simply deviant behavior in this era. Since the founding of Loen, the spouses of the direct members of the Augustus family are and can only be noble women. ... Listening to the meaning revealed in the words just now, Edsack has found that commoner woman again?Moreover, she was given a punishment of grounding?True love... In just an instant, a story about a domineering prince and a poor little white flower took shape in Klein's mind.

He let go of his eyes and admired the midwinter scenery in front of him.

"It's not what it really looks like now. When the green grass sprouts in spring, you will see a golf course of the highest standard." Prince Edsac sent the maid away, raised his whip, and pointed around.

"Golf?" The man's name suddenly appeared in Klein's mind.

"Yes, golf. It's a sport that truly belongs to the aristocrats, and most owners of magazines and newspapers hardly have the opportunity to participate."

"Although I don't like Russell, I have to admit that his whimsy has given us an interesting enough world. If you can figure out Talim's death, this place will be open to you at any time."

It really was Roselle... Klein let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Prince Edsac continued to sigh with emotion:

"Roselle is worth learning in every aspect, but his attitude towards feelings disgusts me. Of course, this is the commonality and style of most Intis nobles, and it is also the root of their obsession with luxury and rotten life."

Edesak looked at the stream ahead with slow flow and little water, and said in a mature tone beyond his age:
"90.00% of people are not geniuses like Russell. If you want to be successful and build a great career, you must figure out what you really want, what price you are willing to pay for it, and never look back. go down."

Klein cleared his throat and took the initiative to change the topic: "Your Highness, with your identity and status, you certainly won't lack subordinates. Some people are willing to investigate Talim's death for you. Why do you have to find me?"

Edsack shook his head and smiled lowly: "As a prince, there is as much freedom as there is power. Many things cannot be done by people around me. Too many eyes are on me."

"You are a capable and intelligent detective, you have your own firm position, and you have a good friendship with Talim. I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you."

"Don't worry, if there is any problem, I can guarantee your safety."

This kind of promise is like toilet paper in the bathroom... Klein couldn't help but slander.

Prince Edesak had already reached this point. He felt that if he refused again, he might be inseparable from Red Rose Manor, so he sighed:
"Actually, I am as sad as you about Talim's death, but the reality makes me just keep calm."

Edsack showed a smile and said:

"What help do you need from me?"

"Choose one of Talim's hair, flesh and blood, plus his belongings." Klein made a request.

"Okay, I'll have these things delivered to your home later." Edsack immediately agreed, and then asked curiously, "Only these?"

Klein was not polite:
"I will know what kind of help I need when I have a preliminary direction. Your Highness, you'd better give me a contact information. A private detective always comes to this manor, which must be suspicious."

Edsack nodded, and said as if he had been prepared:

"I will let someone secretly rent the house next door to you, that is, the shop at No. 8 Second Avenue next to your new residence in Hillston. When you need to contact, you can tell the owner of the grocery store A shopping list for door-to-door delivery, just write your information and needs on it and give it to him. As for the reward, you should know that I am not a stingy person, even if there is no result in the end, as long as you make a contribution, If you take the risk, you will also have a corresponding income, and if you really find out the truth, I will give you a salary that is enough for your retirement."

His Royal Highness is very swift and resolute... For the pension, at least 3000 pounds will go up... Klein secretly sighed.

"Okay, may Talim's spirit find peace in the kingdom of storm and lightning." He bowed and saluted.

Due to poor information, Pales knew that the best way to deal with his old love's face blindness was to be ignorant, but Klein didn't know.
