Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 81 The villain's radar is ringing

— Drost.

This surname belonged to Lily's biological father, the old and strong trade minister.

The old knight Gordon breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, then frowned again.

Now that a minister with real power has been involved...there is a high probability that this matter has nothing to do with the royal family. This is the biggest good news so far.Also avoid the worst possible.

But on the other hand, the Principal Private Secretary to the Minister of Trade is a big shot in his own right.

Secretary Raff can also be regarded as the affairs officer of the civil service system. In the Ministry of Trade, except for Minister Drost, he only needs to be responsible to the permanent deputy minister.Although he looks to be approaching 50 years old, there is still some possibility of further promotion.

And this has expanded the range of suspects.

The knight family took the oath of knighthood when they conferred the armor, so they could not harm the royal family.

If the killer's original target was Princess Isabel, then all members of the knight family in the club could be eliminated directly.

But now...

"Has the cause of death been ascertained?"

Director Gordon thought about this, and asked rhetorically.

He had just glanced roughly and knew that the deceased probably fell from the handrail on the second floor to the first floor.

This is about five or six meters in height.It is true that it is possible to fall to death at this height.But next to him are high-ranking priests who can use lighting.

A fall injury at such a height must be salvageable unless the back of the head lands right on the ground.

The young inspector shook his head: "I'm not sure whether it was poisoned or cursed, but it definitely didn't fall. It should have something to do with the knife on the back of the deceased, and it may have to be sent for testing. But what is certain is that the death was very rapid. It didn't take more than ten seconds to die, almost immediately. The priests who took over the treatment at the first time can also testify to this point."

"In other words, the deceased fell down after being attacked by the murderer. And died soon after landing?"

Chief Gordon frowned, feeling that the situation was getting more and more troublesome.

After thinking for a while, he gave an order: "Immediately conduct a round of search of all the personnel on the second floor of the club!
"This kind of dangerous thing must have a container for storage, or a special prop for using it, go find it!

"Secretary Raff may have been talking to someone before he died. Then find all the people on the second floor who were near the handrail when it happened, who weren't talking to anyone, who were sneaking around in corners, who were seen by others Move people fast after the incident and bring them down!"

"Also," Aiwass, who was watching quietly from the side, suddenly added, "On this basis, please also check the members on the second floor to see if they have documents or file bags."

Hearing Aiwass' voice, the young inspector and Director Gordon turned their heads one after another.

Looking at Aiwass in the wheelchair, Director Gordon easily recognized his identity.

"...Mr. Iwass, yes. I heard about your case at Lloyd."

The old knight said in a deep voice.

He didn't look down on Aiwass because of his young age, but asked him seriously: "Do you think this matter is related to the documents carried by Secretary Ruff?"

"Just a hunch. No proof."

Aiwass didn't laugh, but said seriously: "But generally speaking, would people who come to the White Dancing Shoes Club to listen to music bring so many documents? Even if they brought documents, wouldn't he put them in this bag? Is it? Checking so many documents by the handrail on the second floor, some documents will fall if you are not careful.

"So I thought maybe he just opened the bag or just took the papers from someone else. So especially checking to see if someone was trying to steal something - or just got caught stealing the papers , it is possible to assassinate Miekou."

In fact, it was an excuse for Aiwass' bullshit.He was just trying to bring up the possibility, and it would have been more reasonable to be unprofessional.

Anyway, he and Isabel are here to press, and Edward will come later.In the end, he will definitely check it like this... And if he speaks too professionally, he may be targeted.

The real reason is that Aiwass looked at the dead man, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

And after hearing his name, he finally remembered his identity and recalled the cutscene that was skipped by Aiwass!
This middle-aged secretary with gold-rimmed glasses and a little bald head is the "so-and-so" in the [Letter from a certain person to the Noble Red Society]!
In the game, the player first learns that this "someone" is likely to be a trusted confidant of a certain big man.Then, from the "Sweater Brotherhood", a copy of the main line that will not appear until a few months after the "Hanging Square Corpse Lost Case", a document written in code language was obtained.

Through Sherlock's puzzle solving of this document, the player learns that this document is actually a series of locations and numbers.Roughly speaking, it is to send different quantities of explosives stored in the abandoned chemical factory to the designated place at the designated time.

Later, without knowing what happened, the player and Aiwass were discovered from the sealed crate, and then jumped out to fight each other.

Thinking about it now, it might be that the player and Aiwass took the risk of hiding in the box, planning to sneak in and search it.According to the agreed time, Sherlock or someone else delivered the box to the designated place, but when they arrived at the place, they found something was wrong.

After defeating these people, they searched another document from this group of people, and managed to escape all the way under the pursuit of corrupt supervisors.

The specific content of this document is completely unknown because Aiwass jumped over it.But Aiwass still remembers one thing about the dialogue plot after the cutscene. In short, after careful analysis by Sherlock, it was found that the three documents with seemingly different handwriting actually belonged to the same person.

More than a week after that, an official committed suicide by taking poison at home early because he was discovered by the inspector's office for accepting bribes.

Although this matter only appeared in one corner of the "Glass Step Newspaper", Sherlock was keenly aware that something was wrong.He specifically investigated the real time of the officer's death, and found that the officer "suicided" after the player and Aiwass' infiltration investigation failed, and he changed to a mad battle-style stealth.

After learning about this, the player sneaked into the mansion and stole the documents of Secretary Raff's life.By comparing the handwriting, Sherlock confirmed that this "someone" was the secretary.It was determined that the "big man" who cooperated with the Noble Red Association was Minister Droste!

——Although Aiwass skipped all the plots in the middle, but fortunately, when he was talking to Sherlock, he jumped out of the news clipping "So-and-so official committed suicide at home".

Aiwass didn't remember his name or face, but his hairstyle.

And now seeing the gold-rimmed glasses of Secretary Raff, I finally recalled this episode——

Lily's biological father, Minister Drost, was the ghost who was bribed by the spies sent by the Star Kingdom to secretly send top-secret information to the Star Kingdom through the Noble Red Association on a regular basis!

Finding out who the culprit was so quickly is undoubtedly something to celebrate.

Not to mention, now that Aiwass has not been exposed, he is still in the dark.Rather than being noticed by the other party because of being too reckless like in the game.

But in this way, the current problem has become more complicated.

And among all the people present, including the killer... perhaps only Aiwass truly understands the complexity of the current situation.

Because Aiwass also recognized it, what exactly is that unsheathed poisonous blade——

It was the signature assassination weapon used by "Eagle Eye", an agent of Iris.

Its nature is completely different from the Inspectorate of Avalon.Although it is also considered a secret service, the white gloves of the Inspectorate belong to official organizations and power agencies in various senses.

And the organization of Iris Flower has always been a secret killer organization on the surface.They mainly carry out assassinations at home and rarely go abroad.

Because "Eagle Eye" is a killer organization, and the mysterious skills related to invisibility, stealth, and poison are all adapted to the path, and even the name of the organization has "Eagle".Therefore, they are generally believed to be a secret association that has escaped from the Principality of Black Eagle, which believes in the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

——It was not until the middle of version 4.0 that the players learned for the first time that the secret leader of this killer organization was actually the Prime Minister of the Iris Kingdom himself!
The old prime minister used this assassination organization to assassinate political opponents and their powerful subordinates who were different from his own faction, or act in reverse to smear their heads with dirt, or to wipe out his own party competitors.And disguised all of this as order-based killings, and created a scene of two factions that believed in the path of love and beauty in Iris to kill each other.

In the radical party of the old Prime Minister Iris, one of the core demands is extreme racism.They advocate expulsion of the "children of the moon" in the territory, follow the example of Avalon's method of purifying the path, and abandon the inheritance of the path of love in the country, so as to alleviate the increasingly fierce path conflicts within the Iris Kingdom.

Therefore, Aiwass immediately thought of the beautiful and elegant senior sister Aiden mentioned who gave him "Dracula".

That is, the person who made Aiden get involved with the racial power of "Moon Son" in the future.

Thinking of this, Aiwass looked at Aiden with a complicated expression.

Noticing Aiwass' gaze, Aiden scratched his head in a daze and looked back: "What's wrong, Aiwass?"

"fine."

Aiwass sighed, shook his head and asked softly: "Of course, such inconspicuous things as documents may also be hidden... For example, in the books that you carry with you. You have rich experience, this point I have to trouble you to supervise carefully, Chief Gordon."

He couldn't just say by name, "The murderer is a beautiful female student who likes to study".The deduction is not so outrageous.

After all, Aiwass himself has never seen what she looks like.

Then we can only give some accurate information one by one.

"...I'll go and see for myself."

The old knight pondered for a while, and felt that what Aiwass said made sense.

Watching the back of Director Gordon going upstairs, Aiwass sighed.

——One thing to say, Aiden, you bad girl, the radar is really accurate.

　There are still three days left in this month, but the unprecedented industrious Mao Mao has updated 19w9k words this month!

　　The cat's rotating schedule has shifted to 29:30 in the morning. I haven't had dinner yet after writing, I'm hungry and sleepy and dizzy... I plan to take a day off at the end of the month, tentatively scheduled for the [-]th or [-]th!
