Chapter 41 Additional Expansion

William Sykes... the deacon of a manor... Klein repeated the other party's answer in his heart, and then turned the topic to the banner and the White Rose War.

After chatting for a while, he politely said goodbye, walked to other showcases with the butler Walter and his personal servant Richardson, and continued his visit. It seemed that the encounter just now was just a trivial matter, an accidental communication .

Near noon, Klein, who had returned to the high-end four-wheeled carriage, looked at the bicycles jingling passing by outside, and suddenly said:

"Walter, you seem to know Mr. William Sykes?"

Walter nodded solemnly and said:

"I saw him once when I was working at Viscount Connard's house.

"He served a member of the royal family, the former Earl of Rustin, the Prince of Edsac."

He didn't hide anything, and introduced the origin of William Sykes in detail.

Ever served Prince Edsac? After the prince died due to the Great Smog Incident in Backlund, he actually had a good life. I don't know which manor he served as the deacon... Maybe he knows some secrets? Klein nodded lightly, and didn't ask any more questions, thinking in his heart whether he should find an opportunity to investigate William Sykes.

If William Sykes really knew something, the faction of the royal family would not leave it alone, or he belonged to that faction. In short, investigating him would be a very dangerous thing, so there is no way to entrust the "magician" Miss, Emlyn White, or Miss Hugh did it... Miss Sharron's ability is enough, but this may cause her current stable life to be destroyed... The best way is to go to the "Dark Emperor", but The problem is, before stealing the Antigonus family notes, I hope that my investigation of the Great Smog Incident in Backlund will be limited to the periphery, without disturbing anyone, or bringing about unexpected changes... Klein seems calm While admiring the street view outside the window, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

In the end, he decided to endure it for the time being, not wanting to spoil the most important thing at the moment.

After lunch and a nap, Klein received education in literary appreciation until the evening.

After seeing off the tutor, he was going to the restaurant on the second floor when he suddenly heard the doorbell being rang.

Amidst the tinkling sounds, Klein glanced at Richardson, and the valet immediately stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing outside were two policemen in black and white checkered uniforms. From their epaulettes, one was a senior inspector and the other was a sheriff.

"Officer, what's the matter?" Richardson asked for his employer.

The senior inspector was a tall and thin man with black hair hidden under his hat, and only his sideburns showed color. He glanced at the room and said with a gentle smile:

"I'm here to find Mr. Dawn Dantès. There is a case involving him and his housekeeper."

"What case?" Klein walked slowly towards the door and said, "I am Dawn Dantès."

After introducing himself, he said politely:

"Two police officers, I don't know what to call you?

"If things are troublesome and take a long time, it's better to go to my reception room and have a chat while drinking tea."

The other policeman, that is, the sheriff, was a very heroic lady. She was obviously a little moved. She looked at the senior inspector next to her, waiting for her superior's decision.

——Due to the relationship of the Evernight Goddess Church, there are quite a few female police officers in the Loen police system, but due to the influence of other beliefs, social trends and other aspects, they still suffer from a certain degree of discrimination in promotions and positions , most of them are internal clerks, and there is also an invisible ceiling in the rising space.

The senior inspector smiled and said:

"No tea, but we must ask your servants."

He paused, and finally got to the point:

"Mr. Dawn Dantès, do you know William Sykes?"

"I met you at the Kingdom Museum this morning." Klein vaguely felt that things had changed unexpectedly, and asked proactively, "Did something happen to him?"

The senior inspector put away his smile and said:

"he died,

Died in a hotel near the Kingdom Museum. "

"Dead?" Klein didn't hide his surprise and surprise.

I just met him and he died?

Has he been targeted long ago?

The senior inspector nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, the cause of death is more complicated, and the possibility of being murdered cannot be ruled out."

"Where's his female companion?" Klein asked with a frown. "When I met him, he had a female companion."

"The lady is his mistress. When she left the hotel, William Sykes was still alive. The hotel waiters can be sure of this, because they sent red wine there." The senior inspector briefly introduced the situation, " Where did you go after leaving the Kingdom Museum?"

"I went back here directly, having lunch, sleeping, and attending classes. My servants, my neighbors, and my literature appreciation teacher can all prove this." Klein replied frankly.

He immediately turned his head to Richardson and said:

"Go get Walter here."

Soon, the butler Walter walked down the second floor wearing white gloves and answered the same question.

After obtaining the consent of Dwayne Dantès, the two police officers questioned Richardson and other servants, but found no problems.

They didn't stop, they said goodbye politely, and visited the neighbors around.

Klein was not affected by this incident, so he went up to the second floor and had dinner.

The following time passed quickly while reading books and newspapers leisurely. Before going to bed, Klein looked at the night scene outside the window, waiting for Richardson, the personal servant, to take away the fruit in the room.

Suddenly, without turning his head, he asked:

"What did Walter do this afternoon?"

"I've been dealing with various affairs, and I haven't left." Richardson replied in a low voice.

Klein nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions, wondering if he was thinking too much.

Phew... He exhaled slowly, walked to the bed, and lay down.

After sleeping until midnight, Klein's spirituality suddenly touched, and he woke up suddenly.

He frowned slightly, got up and left the bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtain a gap.

Under the dim moonlight, in the deep night, a figure cautiously arrived at the outer wall from the garden path, and flipped out.

He has a broad forehead, black shiny black hair and serious brown eyes. He is the butler Walter.

"Agility and smooth movements, he is either a well-trained person or a low-sequence Extraordinary..." Klein watched this scene, making a preliminary judgment in his heart.

He saw Walter follow the shadow of the street, all the way to the entrance of the sewer that Hazel had entered before, removed the manhole cover, and climbed down, not forgetting to recover.

Why are everyone so proficient in climbing the sewers? In the middle of the night before, Mr. Housekeeper should have never done it, otherwise my spirituality would definitely have an early warning, after all, he left from my "territory"... This shows that he was in other places, before he became my housekeeper, he often had similar Action... Klein curled his lips slightly, returned to the bed, and took out the iron cigarette case from under the pillow.

He wants to manipulate the "Wraith" Senor, follow the butler Walter, and see what the other party is doing.

I hope it won't exceed 100 meters, otherwise I'll have to go into the sewer too... Klein murmured silently as he returned to behind the gap in the curtain.

His secret puppet Senor immediately used the mysterious connection between different mirrors to jump to the gas street lamp next to the sewer entrance, then penetrated the manhole cover, and followed silently.

Klein saw Walter walk about ten meters before turning to a more secluded and gloomy passage, with moss and dirty things on the walls and floors.

Suddenly, the housekeeper stopped and said to someone:

"Why are you so impulsive?

"Why not wait for a better opportunity?"

Soon, a weak and slightly hoarse female voice responded to Walter's question:

"This is the best opportunity.

"When he returns to that manor, I don't know how long he will come out again."

"But why are you still injured so seriously?" Walter said with some concern.

The female voice laughed and said:

"William Sykes imagined stronger than you and me, and probably only in this way can he match his secret identity.

"Anyway, I finally got a clue from him. After so long, I finally have a chance to get closer to the truth."

"You don't need to be in such a hurry." Walter said silently.

The weak female voice chuckled and said:

"I have sold my soul to the evil god, and the only meaning of my life is revenge."

Walter exhaled rarely and said:

"You continue to hide here, and I will prepare food for you until you recover.

"If there is an accident, still use the old method to contact me."

The weak female voice said in silence for a long time:

"When he was alive, there were many subordinates who claimed to be loyal. After he died, only a few people still remembered him and were willing to take risks for him. You surprised me the most."

"He is the first nobleman to treat me like that, and he is also the person I really want to be loyal to." Walter responded in a low voice.

Klein, who used his secret puppet to hear these conversations, vaguely understood the whole story:

After the death of Prince Edsac, a few people loyal to him were secretly investigating the truth of his suicide, and Walter was one of them. However, he was mainly responsible for collecting intelligence on the surface and using his identity to provide some assistance... This should be the additional expansion mentioned by "Magic Mirror" Arrods...

Klein immediately made "Wraith" Senor hide his body, sneaked into the secluded and hidden passage, and saw Walter standing sideways, talking to someone, and a woman in a black dress halfway blocked by him Sitting against the wall, his face was quite pale.

After hearing Walter's words, the woman laughed in her throat, looked towards the exit and said:

"You should leave, be careful not to be noticed."

When she turned her head, Klein could see her appearance clearly. Her face was slightly round, her eyes were slender, her temperament was gentle, and she was sweet and hidden. She was an outstanding and charming girl, and she was also an "acquaintance" of Klein:

Triss!

Trish Chick!
