Mystery: Start with the Reader

Queens, in the garden villa of Viscount Horatio.

Emma, ​​who had been staying at home since attending Miss Audrey Hall's coming-of-age party, sat alone in front of the window and said as if to herself:

"Flora, what do you think is hidden behind the great smog incident?

"I don't think it's just a 'Witch of Despair' seeking promotion."

As a "decryption scholar", Emma was very interested in the inside story of this matter. If the plague outside had not ended yet, and she was grounded by her parents because of her close relationship with Fanny, she would have wanted to go to the East End and go to Egypt. Prince Desak's "Red Rose Manor" was explored.

"Isn't your mother a member of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'? Why don't you just ask her?" The sharp voice of Flora Jacob, the demigod of the "Stealer" path, sounded in her ears, her tone slightly With sarcasm.

"My mother is just an ordinary member of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' and has no access to such core secrets..." As she spoke, Emma smoothed her long black hair hanging down to her waist with her hands, and continued, "You too There is no need to go to great lengths to test, I have already said that the contract that 'restricts' you was obtained through my own channels and has nothing to do with the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'."

"Who knows whether what you said is true or false? You are not very old, but you are more cunning than some old foxes!" Flora said bitterly.

Emma raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with the "old fox" metaphor, and replied jokingly: "How can we not be cunning after going through the 'scammer' stage in our path? You will step into the 'trap' so easily. , and it’s also because you have been possessed by the mouse for so long that you don’t have much wisdom left.”

"Who would have thought that He could even 'tamper' with the knowledge attached to the sequence..." Flora was speechless for a long time before squeezing out this sentence.

"Okay, back to the original topic... I want to hear your views on the great smog incident." Emma gave up and said instead.

Flora was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then replied thoughtfully: "The Loen royal family should be planning something, and they are even cooperating with the 'Witch Sect' and the 'Aurora Society' for this purpose.

"In the previous great smog, the first layer only showed the 'Witch of Despair' seeking promotion, but behind it was the plan of the 'Original Witch' to revive and the attempt of the 'True Creator' to come..."

At this point, Flora sneered and continued, "However, this layer is just misleading. They should be a curtain used to conceal the true purpose of the royal family."

"So, Prince Edsac and Duke Graer should have just been pushed out to take the blame... Even Intis's collusion with Edsac to create chaos in Backlund was framed?" Emma said thoughtfully.

She overheard the information about Intis and Edsac from her father.

"Intis may have really colluded with Edsac, and the evidence was caught by the intelligence agency, otherwise the three major churches would not believe it easily... But that should have nothing to do with the Great Smog Incident."

As a descendant of the Jacobite family, Flora had no favorable impression of the Augustus family and believed from the beginning that the royal family was behind the scenes.

Is that so? No wonder my father did not allow Fanny and I to see each other again, and even communicated... Emma pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Since Intis has been caught, and there is pressure from the church, I am afraid I have to give an explanation. Bar?"

"Intis won't pay too much. What the three major churches want is just an attitude. As long as there are people with enough status to come forward and confess their sins, it won't be a big problem...

"After all, the people of the church are not fools. I can guess it. They can't guess it. It's just that there is no direct evidence and the Loen royal family has given up many benefits, so they didn't go into it further."

At this point, Flora seemed to realize what Emma really wanted to ask, and couldn't help but taunted, "Are you afraid that your friend's family will be pushed out to take the blame?

"Tsk tsk, think about it carefully, her grandfather does meet the requirements perfectly..."

"Flora, have you been a rat for so long that you forgot your own way? You are a thief, not a provocateur." Emma was not angered because she knew that there was another Archbishop in the Church of Steam in the Surrey family. The saint is not so easy to handle.

However, I still have to give Fanny a warning... in case someone wants to use her to threaten Mr. Surrey...

Emma recalled the monitors she had noticed following Fanny before, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily.

At this moment, her personal maid Wendy walked into the room. She hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Miss, I have something to report to you."

"What's the matter?" Emma asked strangely, seeing that she looked quite unnatural.

"Yes...it's Detective Blaine who has returned to Backlund." The maid replied awkwardly.

My lady seems to have an unusual relationship with the detective. More than a month ago, she even arranged for a servant to pass by the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street every day...

As a personal maid, she wanted to persuade her young lady, but when she thought of her past "rebellion", she didn't know how to speak.

"It's better to fall in love with a famous detective than to do all the weird things that Miss did at that time. Fame comes well..." the maid Wendy could only comfort herself.

Abner is back? Emma's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea in her mind, and then she leaned on the table and started writing a letter.

Although she was grounded, the servants were free to go out.

She had not asked her servants to deliver letters to Fanny before, firstly because she was afraid that they would be caught by the monitors and lose their lives, and secondly because she was afraid of "alerting the enemy". Prompt those people to take action immediately.

But it was different when it came to Abner... He was very powerful, and his "stealth" ability was also very outstanding. When he followed her and Fanny into Baron Conva's underground castle, they didn't notice it.

…

In the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, Abner had just gone down to the first floor when he saw Elaine sitting idle on the sofa in the small living room with a magazine in her hand.

When she saw Abner, she immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Brain, how many days will we stay in Backlund?"

Speaking of which, she had just wanted to help Mrs. Scudder with the housework. It was not until she was declined that she realized that her identity had changed. She was no longer a maid, but a guest.

This made her feel a little uncomfortable and confused, and she always felt that she should find something to do.

"I'm afraid it will take five or six days, or even a week." Abner thought for a while and replied.

He wanted to use these few days to visit friends and build a few more items... Of course, the more important thing was to wait for the result of Mr. Gaston selling the transformation wand to the "King of the Five Seas" - leaving Backlund. , "teleporting" to Damir is not that convenient.

"So long..." Elaine was a little disappointed.

Abner saw the problem, thought about it, smiled and pointed, "Weren't you a businessman before you were captured by Tracy?"

Have you ever thought about investigating the market?

Elaine perked up after hearing this, but then she became depressed and said: "I don't have many gold pounds in my hand..."

Although Abner did not pay her a salary for her maid job, she also made some money by borrowing money from the "Sea Serpent" at the "Fragrance Leaf Bar" party and buying low and buying high.

"I can invest." Abner rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you think Backlund's products are most popular with Intis?"

"What is the most popular?" Elaine lowered her head and thought for a while, but frowned and said, "The most popular thing is actually the customs and customs of a foreign country... But there is no way to take them all away... I can only choose some specialties, but It’s impossible for us to purchase on a large scale and we won’t make much money.”

"Who says 'customs' can't be taken away?" Abner smiled, laid out paper on the table in the living room, and wrote a line of text:

""Brain Film and Television Company Planned Investment Project Book""

In an era when cameras have become more popular and even miniaturized, photography has not yet been invented... This is Russell's dereliction of duty!

And once you have the "video", playing the role of "secret instructor" will be much easier.
