Chapter 81 Bad Woman Radar Goes Off

——Droste.

This surname belongs to Lily's biological father, the Minister of Trade who is still strong and healthy.

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

Since a powerful minister is involved... This matter is most likely unrelated to the royal family, which is the best news at present. It also avoids the worst possibility.

But on the other hand, the chief private secretary of the Minister of Trade is also a big shot.

Secretary Raff is also a civil servant. In the Ministry of Trade, apart from Minister Drost, he only needs to be responsible to the permanent deputy minister. Although he looks almost fifty years old, there is still some possibility that he will continue to be promoted.

And this actually expands the scope of suspects.

The Knight family took the Knight's Oath when they were awarded armor, so they could not harm the royal family.

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

But now...

"Has the cause of death been found?"

Director Gordon thought about this and asked back.

He just took a quick look 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 high. It is indeed possible to fall to death at this height. But next to him are high-level priests who can use illumination.

Falling from this height, unless the back of the head hits the ground, it must be resuscitated.

The young inspector shook his head: "I'm not sure whether he died of poisoning or curse, but it's definitely not a fall. It should be related to the knife behind the deceased, and it may be sent for testing later. But what is certain is that the death was very rapid, from injury to death It took no more than ten seconds, almost immediate death. The priests who took over the treatment at the first time can also confirm this."

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

Director Gordon frowned, feeling that the situation was becoming more and more troublesome.

After a brief thought, he gave the order: "Immediately conduct a body search of all personnel on the second floor of the club!

"This kind of dangerous thing must have a container for storage, or a prop specifically used to use it, go find it!

"Secretary Raff may have been talking to someone before his death. Then find all the people on the second floor who were near the handrail at the time of the incident, those who did not talk to others, those who hid in the corners, and those who were seen by others moving quickly after the incident, and bring them down!"

"Also," Aiwass, who was watching quietly on the side, suddenly added, "On this basis, please also check if the members on the second floor have any documents or document bags on them."

Hearing Aiwass's voice, the young inspector and Director Gordon turned around.

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

"...Mr. Aiwass, right. I've heard about the case you handled in Lloyd's District."

The old knight said in a deep voice.

He did not look down on Aiwas because of his young age, but asked him seriously: "Do you think this matter is related to the documents carried by Secretary Raff?"

"It's just a hunch. There is no evidence."

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

"So I think he may have just opened the document bag or just received the documents from someone else. So it is especially important to check whether someone wants to steal something - or it is possible that he was assassinated because he was discovered stealing documents. "

In fact, this is a nonsense excuse made by Aiwass. He just wants to raise this possibility, and it would be more reasonable if he is not professional.

Anyway, he and Isabel are here, and Edward will come soon. In the end, they will definitely check it out like this... and if he speaks too professionally, he may be targeted.

The real reason is that Aiwass looked at the dead and felt more and more familiar.

After hearing his name, he finally remembered his identity and recalled the plot that Aiwass skipped in the cutscene!

This middle-aged secretary with gold-rimmed glasses and a little bald is the "someone" in [A letter sent by someone to the Noble Red Society]!

In the game, the player first learns that this "someone" is most likely a trusted confidant of a big shot. Then from the "sweater" In the main storyline dungeon "Brotherhood", which will appear a few months after the "Gallows Square Missing Corpse Case", a document written in code was obtained.

Through Sherlock's puzzle solving of this document, the player learned that this document is actually a series of locations and numbers. Generally speaking, it is to send different quantities of explosives stored in abandoned chemical plants to designated locations at designated times.

Later, I don't know what happened, the player and Aiwass were discovered from the sealed crate, and then jumped out to fight each other.

Now think about it, it may be that the player and Aiwass took the risk to hide in the box and planned to sneak in to search. According to the agreed time, Sherlock or someone else sent the box to the designated location, but when they arrived at the place, they were found to be wrong.

After defeating these people, they recovered another document from this group of people, and managed to escape while being chased by corrupt supervisors along the way.

The specific content of this document is completely unknown because Aiwass jumped over it. But Aiwass still remembered one thing about the conversation after the cutscene - in short, after careful analysis by Sherlock, he found that the three documents that seemed to have different handwriting actually belonged to the same person.

More than a week after that, a clerk committed suicide by taking poison at home because he was discovered by the Inspectorate for taking bribes.

Although this incident only appeared in a corner of the "Glass Steps" newspaper, Sherlock was keenly aware that something was wrong. He specifically investigated the real time of the agent's death, and found that the agent "committed suicide" after the player and Aiwass failed to infiltrate the investigation and changed to frantic stealth.

After learning about this, the player sneaked into the mansion and stole Secretary Rafe's lifetime documents. By comparing the handwriting, Sherlock confirmed that this "someone" was the secretary. Thus, it was confirmed that the "big man" cooperating with the Noble Red Society was Minister Drost!

——Although Aiwass skipped all the plot in the middle, fortunately, when he was talking to Sherlock, a news clipping of "A so-and-so clerk committed suicide at home out of fear of crime" popped up.

Aiwass didn't remember his name or appearance, but he remembered his hairstyle.

But now when I see Secretary Rafe’s gold-rimmed glasses, I finally recall this episode——

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

Being able to find out who the mole is so quickly is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.

Not to mention, Aiwass has not been exposed yet, he is still in the dark. It's not like in the game, where the other party noticed it because he was too reckless.

But in this way, the problem now becomes more complicated.

And among everyone present, including the killer... maybe Aiwass was the only one who truly understood the complexity of today's situation.

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

That is the iconic assassination weapon used by "Hawkeye", an agent organization of Iris.

Its character is entirely different from that of the Inquisition of Avalon. Although it is also considered a secret service, the white gloves of the Inspectorate belong to official organizations and authorities in every sense.

Iris's organization has always been a secret killer organization. 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 road, and even the name of the organization has "Eagle" in it. Therefore, they are generally considered to be a secret society that has escaped from the Black Eagle Principality, which believes in the Lord of Scale Feather.

——It wasn’t until the middle of version 0 that 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 assassin organization to assassinate political opponents who were different from his own faction and their capable subordinates, or to do the opposite to wipe dirty water on their heads, or to eliminate competitors within his own party. And disguised all this as a murder order, creating a scene within Iris where two parties that believe in the path of love and beauty are vendetta against each other.

One of the core demands of the radical party to which the old Prime Minister Iris belongs is extreme racism. They advocate expelling the "Children of the Moon" within the territory, following Avalon's method of purifying the Path, and abandoning the inheritance of the Path of Love in the country, in order to alleviate the increasingly fierce path conflict within the Iris Kingdom.

As a result, Aiwass immediately thought of the beautiful and elegant senior sister that Aiden said gave him "Dracula".

He was also the person who would later connect Aiden with the racial force known as the "Children of the Moon".

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

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

"fine."

Aiwass sighed, shook his head and asked warmly: "Of course, something as inconspicuous as a document may be hidden...for example, in a book that you carry with you. You are experienced in this, I need you to supervise it carefully, Director Gordon."

He couldn't just name him and say, "The murderer is a beautiful female student who likes to read." The deduction method is not that outrageous either.

After all, Aiwass himself had never seen what she looked like.

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

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

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

Looking at the back of Commissioner Gordon going upstairs, Aiwass sighed.

——Let me tell you, Aiden, your bad girl radar is really accurate.

There are still three days left in this month, but the unprecedentedly hard-working cat has already updated 19w9k words this month!

The cat's rotating schedule has shifted to 10:50 in the morning. I have finished writing and haven't eaten dinner yet. I am hungry, sleepy, and dizzy... I plan to take a day off at the end of the month to keep my cat alive, tentatively scheduled for the 29th or 30th!
