Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 82 Shadow Agent Chloe

According to Aiwass' memory in this life, Minister Droste was a friend of old Moriarty.They have a pretty good personal relationship.

He is a loyal and powerful minister of the queen's faction and has a good relationship with the Moriarty family.Moreover, he is also a minister with strong working ability, clean and honest but has no desire for power.Without enough evidence, this kind of Wang Guodongliang will definitely not be able to be moved—even if there is evidence, it may not be able to be directly moved.

"Strong working ability, clean and honest, but no desire for power..."

Aiwass silently chewed the key words of old Droste in his heart.

He felt that something was wrong before, but because of Lily's dark history of walking, he didn't react.

Thinking about it now, Minister Droste seems a bit too perfect in areas other than his private life:
An official with strong working ability and integrity, then he will have some ambitions to go up; , he usually has little ability to speak of.

This is basically an impossible triangle, but the old Drost satisfies all three at the same time.

No wonder.It turned out that he was an inner ghost, so that made sense.

...Could it be that old Droste is also one of the pawns manipulated by Moriarty?
Aiwass sat in the wheelchair, the fingers of his right hand tapped the armrest rhythmically, and fell into deep thought.

On the other side, Director Gordon led the inspection bureau to conduct a careful interrogation of everyone on the second floor of the White Dance Shoes Club.

He attached great importance to the opinions given by Aiwass.Therefore, with the two most experienced inspectors, I personally checked whether there were any documents hidden in the packages and personal belongings of all members.

Chloe, who stood quietly in the corner, gently pushed her glasses, and no one noticed her presence.

She has a beautiful and bright face, and short caramel-colored curly hair that gives people a warm and sweet feeling.At this moment, she was not wearing a school uniform, but a backless white dress that she would only wear in summer or at banquets, with a crystal slipper pinned to her chest.

In the early winter season of November, such a look will definitely look impressive.

But everyone around Chloe acted as if they hadn't seen her.Under the influence of those glasses, her appearance and clothes became ordinary.

It was as if she was no different from anyone else.As long as the sight is away from her for a moment, her existence will never be seen again, just like a dream bubble.

Chloe held a stack of books in her arms, hid in a corner and watched all this quietly.

... There are capable people in the Supervision Bureau.

No, to be precise, it should be that young man named Aiwass Moriarty who is somewhat miraculous.Chloe thought.

Until just now, the situation was under Chloe's control.

If she did not use the "Eagle Feather" but simply poisoned it, it would be difficult for the Avalonians to realize that Secretary Raff was killed by a professional assassin.If she poisoned Raff at his home, it would probably have the same outcome—his death would be covered up by the Minister of Trade.

And her mission as a killer is to make Raff die conspicuously, and let him die in a suspicious manner in full view.

Because of Raff's special cause of death and his remaining documents, the Avalonians will start to suspect... Raff was conducting intelligence transactions with foreigners, and was immediately silenced after giving key information.

Then they start investigating those files.

Although those documents were basically composed of code words, Chloe believed in the analysis and decoding ability of the young man from the Hermes family.He's already investigated the Brotherhood of Sweaters and found those alchemy bombs.Presumably it will soon be realized that this document must be related to the port smuggling case.

After that, the Minister of Trade will naturally be involved.His connection with the Xingbang people may be discovered, and even other ministers who have connections with Xingbang will be discovered.

And that was Chloe's job as an agent.

Although for the Iris Kingdom, neither Avalon nor Star Antimony is a good thing.But now at the critical moment of Iris, Avalon had better not make a problem at this point in time.

They need to keep Avalon and the Celestials hostile as much as possible, but at the same time maintain a balance between the two sides.Make sure not to enter a state of war, but continue to deplete the strength of the two countries.

In Avalon, there are quite a few agents like her sneaking in.

Their purpose is to alleviate the hostility of the Avalon people towards the Iris people in Avalon territory, and to increase the hatred of the Avalon people towards the Starbow people.At the right node, help those knights who are bound by the armor on their bodies to break free from the many shackles wrapped around them——

The knights of Avalon are only limited by the road constraints and must obey orders; and are limited by the oath of loyalty and cannot harm the royal family.

But in fact, as long as they don't have the idea of ​​​​"replacing it", they will not deviate from the path.

In other words, they just couldn't usurp the monarchy.

Well, just let the royal family still exist, but lose the power to control them.

As long as the royal family no longer has the power of the authoritarian path, the knights can take off their armor and follow the example of the iris to form a cabinet.

The power belonging to the authoritarian path is ultimately top-down and suppressed layer by layer—the mysterious skills of the authoritarian path are "leadership" and "speech", which have nothing to do with loyalty at all.

Even if there are knights who are willing to submit to the royal family from the bottom of their hearts...but if there are well-meaning people to help them break free, they will never feel bad about it.

Just as the path of beauty may lean toward equilibrium or the path of twilight, so the path of authority may converge toward transcendence and love.

Power increases ambition and magnifies desire.She knows all too well how to deal with people who are prone to love.

Croay's main task is to spread the danger and terror of the Moonchildren in Avalon.

This is an advance preparation to prevent the Son of the Moon from joining Avalon after being expelled by the Iris.

And a few days ago, she suddenly received a task from her superior——

The superior asked her to find a way to stop the conspiracy of the Star Wars Kingdom, and to expose the Minister of Trade as much as possible, or at least put him in a dormant state.As a clue, her superiors gave her the name "Raff" and her contact information.

She managed to steal the "Noble Red" ring stored in the Supervision Bureau, and exchanged it with a fake.He used it to forge his own identity, and sent the ring and the letter of an urgent appointment to meet the other party to Secretary Raff, asking him to meet here.

Fortunately, the "Sweater Brotherhood" stronghold was discovered by Sherlock Hermes, otherwise she would have been really difficult to date.

It was with great difficulty that Secretary Raf who was carrying the documents was tricked out.

Just a pity.

...It would have been better if Aiwass hadn't been here today.

Chloe frowned.

She had actually seen Princess Isabel just now.To be on the safe side, it's actually best not to make a move yourself.

But after all, she is not a member of the Noble Red Society. If Secretary Raff communicates with the Minister of Trade after returning home, it is easy to see through her false identity.It's going to be harder to ask him out in public next time.

So she thought about it and decided to take a risk.

This is a risk, but it is undoubtedly a rare opportunity at the same time.

Because this matter directly involves the safety of Her Highness the Princess, there are unknown Transcendent Assassins who have entered the club... Raph will definitely be thoroughly investigated.

But what Chloe didn't expect was that Aiwass realized immediately that she might have taken some of the documents.

The extraordinary power from the Dao of Adaptation allowed her to hide her figure, and also allowed her to hear the following conversation clearly from such a distance.

She was full of doubts and surprises.

——How did Aiwass deduce it?
She took some of the files, completely impromptu.

Because Princess Isabel is here, Chloe is worried that the Minister of Trade will react too quickly and arrange for someone to take back all the documents as soon as possible.So she specially left a part as evidence.

The document was scattered all over the place when Raff fell, and it was not uncommon to be missing a page or two.Maybe someone present stole it.

If the Secretary of Trade cleared his hands, Chloe could anonymously publish the papers she had snatched.Keep up the pressure on the trade secretary.

She was full of doubts.

Before taking action, Chloe specially used detective thinking to review his actions.

Logically, if someone silenced to obtain information, then he could take all the documents.If he takes some and keeps more, it will become conspicuous; therefore, this behavior is not in line with logic and the first interest.And if he took away all the documents, then I am afraid that the Supervision Bureau will have to investigate for a while before they find out that the documents are missing...

Therefore, from this point of view, if Aiwass is really a qualified detective, he should rule out the possibility of "someone silenced Raff after conducting intelligence transactions with him" at the first time, and he would think about the problem More complex.

——As a result, Aiwass really only stopped at this step, asking Director Gordon to check their accompanying documents.

No, do you understand it or not?

Raff fell down the building with a lot of documents, how unnatural does this look?Would a real killer make such a low-level mistake?
From the perspective of the all-knowing Chloe, she realized that Aiwass' reasoning was obviously unnatural.

Is he really in vain?
But in that case, why did he take the initiative to interfere with Director Gordon's investigation?

He even said it outright, and the file was in the book—as if he saw what he was doing.

Because she really hid the documents in the book.

That information is a code word.If it's just one or two sheets, it's not easy to be noticed when folded and put in a book.

When no one is stealing information, only one or two are stolen from a stack of documents.If only Commissioner Gordon was allowed to investigate by himself, his experience would definitely tell him that this was impossible.

However, Aiwass persuaded Director Gordon to come up and search in person.

That would be bad.

The big problem here is that Gordon is strong.

Her glasses are enchanted with the spell of the authoritative way of permanent [cannot look directly at], endowing her with the ability not to be caught by people's eyes.Those inspectors with too low a level couldn't see her at all.It's like those members couldn't see who killed the secretary.

Gordon may not be able to beat her, but his strength is similar to hers.And he is the transcendent who truly belongs to the path of authority.

He might see through his own psychological invisibility.

Although as an elite agent, Croy is confident that Gordon will not be able to kill him.If it is one-on-one, there is a high probability that I can fight back in a short time.

But she heard it too, there was a brigade of air cavalry outside.

She didn't want to run into those people in the army.

But because of Aiwass' instructions, Gordon has come to find him himself.

Chloe couldn't move at all right now.She could be noticed when she moved, and Gordon could notice her when he was beside her.Unless Gordon turns away just before he walks over, she's arguably exposed.

But Chloe wasn't too nervous.

Because she still has cards!
Although the outside was completely surrounded by air cavalry, it was impossible for her to break out head-on.But as an extraordinary person who has adapted to the path and an elite assassin, she has a lot of ways to survive after failing to sneak in.

Thinking of this, she looked at Aiwass.

Chloe pushed her glasses again before Gordon approached.Holding a stack of books, her body silently melted into a mass of thick shadows.

This is her path characteristic, and she has repeatedly selected "Shadow Affinity" three times.

——It is also the confidence that Chloe is confident that he can definitely escape.
