The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Soon, the four paintings were also taken down from the walls by the servants in the mansion.

Then, all the people present showed unbelievable expressions when they faced the letter from the strange thief that also appeared behind the painting.

Unexpectedly, not one painting was stolen, but five!

No, more than five.

Sir Gold ordered someone to carefully examine all the paintings hanging in the hall of the mansion.Then, it was finally found that including the first five paintings, a total of eight paintings appeared behind the letters of the strange thief, which represented that a total of eight paintings had been stolen.

"How, how could this be..."

Even Sir Gold, who was rich and powerful, sat down on the ground with a pale face when he saw the "fakes" placed all over the floor.

And the guests who attended the banquet talked more enthusiastically and even fanatically about this strange thief who seemed to be omnipotent.

According to Chris' guess, the painting was stolen after the banquet started.

In about an hour, he stole eight famous paintings in full view.

I am afraid that it is really something that can only be done in the realm of gods.

On the other side, Chris looked at Sir Gould who was under a heavy hammer, the members of the Knights who were gnashing their teeth, and the other guests who were whispering, and always felt that he could not empathize with these people.

His heart is still heavy, without the slightest sense of accomplishment and excitement.

Because, the Earl still didn't turn around.

In other words, the Earl is still not satisfied with this answer?

Chris stared blankly at Riber's back, and once again felt the sense of despair when he heard that the other party had caught "Night Devil" in just one afternoon.

No wonder, in the eyes of the Earl, he doesn't even have the qualifications of an apprentice.

Let's see how he behaved today.

Before, when Mingming spoke to the Earl, they were talking about paintings.However, all the concentration was on the Earl, and he didn't notice the obvious flaws in the painting.

As a detective, one of the two most important things is observation.

And until the earl reminded him, he didn't notice anything strange in the painting, even if he was said to be a detective negligence, it wouldn't be too much.

Chris lowered his head slightly.

He felt that the Earl should have been very disappointed in him at that time.

But even so, the Earl was very "magnanimous" to give him a second chance and gave him enough hints.

And if he still can't pass the Lord Earl's test, he will definitely disappoint the Earl even more, and won't get any more chances.

Can...

In the end, what did the Earl see from this strange thief case?

Could it be that eight paintings were stolen at the same time, isn't that the end of the incident?

Chris began to pace back and forth anxiously in the venue.He observed again and again, but did not get any clues at the scene.

Therefore, unless the puzzle left by the strange thief is solved immediately, the authentic painting is recovered, or even the strange thief is caught directly, then this incident can only end here.

And no matter how powerful the earl's insight is, it was impossible for him to directly understand the contents of the letter through the envelope hidden behind the painting and solve all the puzzles.

That... that!

All of a sudden, Chris, who had pushed himself into the corner, became irritable.

It was also at this time that he was careless for a moment and almost bumped into the servants of the mansion who were carrying the paintings.

"You guys! Well... sorry, I didn't pay attention."

After nodding his apology, Chris looked at the figure of the servant carrying the fake painting away, and suddenly, something seemed to be touched in his mind.

"Please wait!"

Chris followed his directness and called out to the two servants.

Then, go up and ask.

Although the servant himself didn't know what kind of position Chris was, but seeing that his master had been very polite to him before, he answered his question very cooperatively.

They just moved these fake paintings into the warehouse of the mansion.

One is that Sir Gold was upset when he saw these fakes.The second is because, as a case of theft, these fakes will also be handed over to the Knights as evidence.

"Then may I ask, when you move these paintings into the warehouse, will you send a large number of people to guard them 24 hours a day?"

"how come?"

Facing Chris' question, the servant showed a puzzled look.

They are all worthless fakes, and they have to be handed over to the Knights. What are they guarding?

Catering to the servant's strange eyes, Chris's mind suddenly became clear, and all the clues were connected together.

"I see..."

Chris, who suddenly showed a shocked expression, whispered to himself, and cold sweat slipped down his forehead unconsciously.

After taking a long breath and calming down a little, Chris walked to Riber's side.

"Master Earl, thank you very much for your guidance. This time, I really understand. The key point of this case is that the painting is actually the 'genuine product'..."

Chris, who talked to Riber again, completely let go of all the pride in his heart this time, and became a pure student.

He secretly sighed.

He thought that after the night demon case, he had been completely subdued by the earl's wisdom, and wanted to be the other party's assistant wholeheartedly.But in fact, there are still a lot of thoughts left in his heart to compete with the Earl.

This childish state of mind has probably been seen through by the Earl long ago...

And it is at this time.As if he could hear Chris's inner voice, Riber, who had been facing the wall in a contemplative state with his back to everyone, finally turned around.

...

...

"This time, I really understand."

After recovering, Riber heard Chris speaking behind him.

Well...

What did he understand?

Riber was confused.

He felt that the word "understand" was really wonderful.

Generally, only people who don't understand anything, or who don't want others to understand what they say, will put this word on their lips.

Before talking about Riber, why was he staring at the wall in a daze.

In fact, it's just the "brain shaking" link that I like to hear.

After Riber stared at the trigger point of the plot, the plot was directly triggered as expected.Then, a picture with a huge amount of information came, and Riber could only stand stupidly and digest the sudden extra information in his mind.

No matter how many times he experienced it, Riber still couldn't get used to it, which almost made him feel like he almost lost the ability to think in a short time.

The plot of this coming is the second act of the sad witch line.

The name is also different from the previous Gods and Gods, it is very direct.

It's called "Heroes" and Phantom Thieves.

In the subtitles that appear on the plot screen, the word hero is wrapped in quotation marks in this way.

This made Riber a little concerned.

The structure of the plot screen is also very simple, that is, in a rather wide roof-like place, Chris and the strange thief face to face.

The roof, probably with a strong wind blowing.

Therefore, the dark purple cloak on the strange thief shook with the wind, and Chris tried his best to press his detective hat with his hands.

how to say?

If you want Riber to comment, this scene full of confrontation is quite atmospheric.

The strange thief at the far end looked arrogant.

Chris at the near end can also see the feeling of doing his best.

The phantom thief who confronts Chris seems to be a woman.Even wearing a men's dress, you can still see a graceful figure.

Of course, the face is covered by a mask, so you can't see it clearly.

that is...

What is the relationship between this strange thief and the Sorrow Witch?

Riber can understand that since Chris, the detective, is the main character, getting involved with the strange thief is an unavoidable fate.But in the line of the Sorrow Witch, isn't it good to blatantly mix in another character who looks like a strategy?

There is.

"Heroes" and phantom thieves.

Sure enough, in the original plot, Chris exposed the "Dismemberer" on the spot and captured the "Night Demon" with his own hands, and was praised as the hero of "Greenwater" by the newspapers in Greenwater City.

After that, it's easy to guess.

It's probably a phantom thief. Recently, there is a detective who is very popular and even called a hero.So, I wanted to fight him or something.In the end, he deliberately came to this "hero" banquet and started to attack.

In general, the development of the current plot is basically the same as the original plot.

The only problem is that the position of Chris in the original plot is firmly occupied by Riber himself.

"Ugh..."

How could this be?

Riber couldn't help holding his forehead.

He felt more and more sorry for Chris.

If he explained that he really didn't intend to grab these fame and "destiny", would Chris believe it?

And...is there a second act to this damn plot?

Since Melueita and the maid lady left, the second act of the Calamity Witch line has never come, so Ribel had always thought that only the first act of the plots of each line could happen in his mind.

In short, these scenes can be sorted out afterwards, and Riber thinks he should see what happened on the scene in front of him.

Just now, Chris said something to him.

However, at that time, his head was still dizzy, and he didn't hear very clearly.

After that, I saw Chris leaving in a hurry, and started to go to Sir Gold and whisper with the deputy head of the Knights.

Not long after, everyone who had been in the banquet venue that day was gathered in the hall, including the servants of the mansion.

And watching the crowd gather around the painting, and then Chris stood solemnly in the center of everyone's sight.

Riber knew that now it should be the classic, detective-solving link.

Well, it's done.

Just because my mind was blown for a while, I could only skip the early and middle stages of watching a detective drama live and watch the ending directly.

Riber shook his head, and moved closer to the Ed family and Sebastian.

"Master, it seems that you and Mr. Chris have solved this case together."

Looking at Riber who was approaching, Sebastian said with a slightly smug expression, raising his voice deliberately.

Seeing the gazes around him, he turned around involuntarily, Ribel's face was a little stiff.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything this time."

Rather, I didn't do anything last time.

In the face of Riber's extremely honest confession, Sebastian just had a look of disbelief, saying something like "The young master is too humble now".

And Alice pestered Riber to talk about it, saying that she just didn't see anything on the periphery.As for the Eds, although apparently they were trying to stop Alice who was entangled with Riber, their slightly restless demeanor was obviously very curious, and they hoped that Riber could tell them what happened before.

Can...

He really doesn't know.

When he just came back to his senses, he was still thinking about the painting in front of him, so where did the large "Girl" go?
