Chapter 172 Please Don't Send It so Fast
Although there are other places in Aiwass where you can temporarily hide, they are not as good as Bishop Mathers' home after all.
It is safe enough that no one will come to investigate; the living environment is also clean and comfortable, and Mrs. Mina can also take care of the food - even by Aiwass's picky standards, her craftsmanship is quite good.
Lady Mina is from Iris after all. It's still very reasonable to cook better than most Avalonians.
Most importantly, a large number of newspapers are easily available here. At Sherlock's request, Mrs. Mina now buys a large number of newspapers every day, including a large number of tabloids in addition to The Glass Steps.
According to Sherlock, even though the tabloids contain a lot of exaggeration and lies, they still have reference value. There will be a lot of things on it that the Glass Steps Newspaper will not report, and important information may be hidden in an inconspicuous sentence.
Therefore, after Mrs. Mina's persuasion, Aiwass and Lily lived here directly.
The only problem is that there are not enough rooms here. Aiwass and Lily could only sleep in one room.
But Lily is Aiwass's personal maid after all, and the relationship between the two is close enough. Not to mention sleeping in the same room, there is no problem even sleeping in the same bed.
After Haina confirmed that Aiwass was safe, she returned to the dormitory with confidence.
She couldn't help but feel lucky...Fortunately, she didn't rush to Headmaster Meg to save Aiwass, but came to Sherlock first to ask for advice.
Otherwise, if she found Aiwass playing chess with Sherlock just after begging, she felt like she might be beaten.
After sending Haina away, Aiwass and Sherlock played chess again, and Sherlock went back to work.
He has been conducting experiments recently, and is also immersed in writing books. Taking advantage of his rare free time, Sherlock plans to collect the ashes of more than 140 kinds of cigars, cigarettes, and pipe pipes available in Avalon and surrounding countries. Take a photo with a color camera, record it in a notebook, and summarize and distinguish the details of the soot.
"Don't underestimate the soot. Sometimes, these inconspicuous things may even be the most important or even the only clue in the whole case."
Sherlock explained: "Sometimes criminals have rich experience and will pay special attention to destroying evidence after killing. But they often ignore some details, such as shaking off cigarette ashes on the ground.
"And if you can confirm that a person who smoked Iris' Jasmine cigarettes appeared at the scene not long ago, even if the other party did not leave any other evidence, you will already have an investigation idea; and if you have already Several suspects have been identified, so this may even be the only evidence.
"The Supervisory Bureau is more responsible for criminal cases between ordinary people - there are much more vicious incidents between ordinary people than cases involving extraordinary powers. I think this book can effectively help them investigate the incidents. Investigation also shortens the work cycle and improves work capabilities.”
"Although you are not a supervisor, I don't think Director Kent cares about the Supervisory Bureau as much as you."
Aiwasrui commented.
It can only be said that Sherlock really has nothing to do.
But coincidentally, Aiwass was also very idle - he was also waiting for things to develop further. So he simply accompanied Sherlock to write the paper.
Sherlock was very happy and said that he would write Aiwass's name together.
And Aiwass refused without hesitation: "I will help you temporarily. Maybe in a few days, I will be busy."
“But at least you helped me out for a day.
Sherlock chuckled.
But none of them expected that Aiwass would only help for one day.
Because wait until the next day, Thursday morning. Aiwass saw unexpected news in the newspaper.
"Justice Bran Borca surrendered?"
……ah?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment when he saw the front page headline of the Glass Steps Newspaper.
He glanced back again.
—— Tommy Lloyd, the current president of Lloyd’s, was arrested for 21 felonies including violent homicide, murder, coercing others to commit crimes, smuggling of dangerous goods, and desecration of corpses.
"……ah?"
Aiwass was stunned again.
what's the situation?
So Aiwass read the text carefully again.
Although the news was vague, Aiwass could basically tell from the few words that Vice President Boca surrendered first and then went fishing - and then Tommy took the bait.
He came to assassinate Boca, but was caught by the people on guard.
And Tommy, as a high-ranking transcendent, personally brings demons to attack others... Those who can stop him may even be those with "big" in their titles. After all, the temptation brought by Boca's surrender is still great-as the vice president of Lloyd's and a member of the Noble Red Society, he can report a lot of people.
According to Aiwass's understanding of them, the person in charge of this matter is either the Great Guardian St. George or the Great Arbiter Meg. There is no doubt that they are the most senior powerful ministers in Avalon, and they are all loyal to the royal family.
At this time, Tommy Lloyd was caught red-handed by them... No matter how the people outside him worked, it was basically difficult to get out.
After all, the person in charge of "Glass Steps Newspaper" is Master Yanis, and her opinions basically represent the opinions of the Queen.
Since the newspaper can directly put forward Tommy's twenty-one felonies without any concealment, there will be no possibility of overturning his case. Now this newspaper is to put pressure on Lloyd's - tell them that we are determined to convict Tommy and stop making meaningless operations.
- Good man, I faked my death so efficiently?
Sherlock, look!
Although according to Aiwass's expectations, things are indeed going in this direction... but he ran away in the early morning of Wednesday, and both of them were arrested on Thursday morning. This still made Aiwass a little bit nervous.
Can you not send it so quickly?
Aiwass still wanted to wait for them to pull it out.
Wait until the situation is completely confused, it will be convenient for him to assassinate Minister Drost.
As a result, now, the two died as fast as the wind - the middle-level leaders of Lloyd's may not have noticed that the two leaders above them are gone. So Avalon suddenly became stable again.
"... Wait?"
Aiwass suddenly realized the problem.
This time, the two of them didn't even fight, and they were both imprisoned directly... So is there a possibility that they will give Aiwas away?
Maybe Boca won't do this, after all, he has bet on Aiwas. But Tommy will most likely do this.
This is a revenge on Boca, and it is also to prove his innocence - to prove that Aleister is really not one of them.
Even if Tommy doesn't do this, his memory will most likely be taken away in the end. By then, Aiwas will still not be able to hide.
Aiwas frowned slightly.
The main reason is that the name of demonologist is really not good these days. It is because these people of Noble Red, their initiation ceremony is evil enough... In addition to the significance of mysticism, it is also to make new members bear human lives directly and cannot turn back.
- As long as they are demonologists of Noble Red, there will be no innocent if they are all killed.
And this also leads to a problem... It is difficult for Aiwas to prove his innocence.
As a demonologist, he will always have his own contracted demon, right?
If he shows his shadow demon... it is equivalent to exposing his entire plan.
...What should I do?
Or should I ask Isabel for a pardon?
"...No."
Evans quickly made up his mind: "There is still a way."
He couldn't help but feel lucky - fortunately he had a backup plan.
He got up, changed his clothes, and called Lily: "Get ready to go out, Lily."
"Where are you going?"
Lily followed obediently and asked in surprise: "Going out in the morning?"
After all, both Lily and Aiwas are the type who are much stronger at night than during the day.
"Because we don't have much time, we have to hurry."
Evans narrowed his eyes, put on the ring symbolizing the noble Red Society, and said calmly: "Let's go and kill the witness."
Chapter 2 will probably be after two o'clock -
The work and rest schedule is being adjusted again and again, woo woo...
