Mystery: Start with the Reader

Aroma Manor, Abner, who came back from the folk herbal shop, was just about to continue his study and try to figure out Closphia's "second design" for the image of "Doctor Strange", when he received the news that "Sea Serpent" Weaver came to his door.

"Sea Serpent" Weaver is his agent in "Scent Leaf Bar", and is now a Sequence 9 "Hunter".

Abner was a little surprised by this, because in order to conceal the relationship between Weaver and himself, he had ordered the other party to come to his manor as little as possible, so as not to attract the attention of others.

Although he is not too afraid of exposing this layer of relationship, but if it can reduce some troubles, he should do his best to reduce it.

"Due to the role of the contract, he is unlikely to disobey my order... Well, it should be that the matter I ordered him to investigate has some clues, so he came to report in person?"

With a guess in his mind, Abner asked Elaine to take her to his study.

After Weaver came in, he greeted Abner respectfully, and then took out a document and handed it to Elaine, who put it on the table next to Abner.

Abner glanced at it, and found that it was a list of items that might appear at the party tomorrow night, as well as a list of corresponding requirements.

In order to have a higher success rate of transactions, Weaver improved the form of the party, referring to the practices of some auction houses, and set up a public mailbox in the bar, allowing guests to anonymously write in the items they want to sell and their needs. in.

Then, Weaver will arrange for people to release some rumors in advance, so that those who want to buy the corresponding items can prepare early.

Of course, because the deal may have been completed before the party, or it was simply a matter of intentional disruption, the rumors may not be true, and the bar will not admit it.

Regarding this, Abner frowned, looked at Weaver and asked, "You won't come here in person just because you sent this?"

"Sir, of course not... That list is just an excuse to come to the door... Other gentlemen and ladies in the local area who are interested in the party, I have also sent it myself..."

After Weaver explained something, he glanced at Elaine at the desk, and said somewhat vaguely, "It's the matter you asked me to check last time that made progress...the matter about the doctor."

The so-called "doctor" is the code name of the man who caused trouble at the Extraordinary Party and was killed by Abner. He himself was a well-known lone killer in the Rorsted Islands, and his most brilliant deed was the assassination of the leader of the local gang in Bayam, the Norse Party.

Of course, Abner asked Weaver to investigate him because this "doctor" was just a "harvest sacrifice" but held the seeds of a new species bred by hybridization in his hand...

But those two "new species" were very similar to "piranha" and "sunflower" in a certain casual game he played in his previous life.

Sure enough, it was because of this... Abner nodded slightly, and saw that Weaver was hesitating in his words, and he glanced at Elaine from time to time, and he didn't understand what he was worried about. You must know that Elaine was also a "maid" who was forced to work by herself. ", but the relationship is much closer than his "agent".

Moreover, Yi Lian, who was in the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" at the time of the investigation of the "doctor", also knew that she was not allowed to hear the results now. Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

Weaver did this, isn't he afraid that Elaine will put on shoes for him afterwards?

Just when Abner was complaining, Elaine obviously sensed Weaver's concerns, so she took the initiative to say: "I still have some statistics on expenditures that I haven't finished... Let's deal with it first."

After speaking, she raised her skirt and saluted, then left the study without looking at Weaver.

Seeing this, Abner looked at Weaver sympathetically, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, can we continue talking now?"

Weaver smiled wryly, then organized his language, and said:

"After many investigations, my subordinates finally found out that the doctor had been hiding in Winstu's tribe before he came to the party that day...

"Moreover, there is evidence that Tansenka is also hiding there. That's why the doctor accepted the commission to come to the party I organized to sabotage..."

"Who is Tansenka?" Abner interrupted.

As for the Winstu Tribe, he had heard of it. It was a local force in Bayam...or the rebel army of the natives, whose headquarters were hidden in the jungle on the island.

However, Winstu was relatively mild in the resistance army, and he didn't reject people outside the tribe too much, so outsiders like "Doctor" who had the appearance of a Loenian could hide there.

"Tansenka is one of the confidantes of the giant giant Ozil. He happened to go out to do some errands during the night of punishment, and escaped the catastrophe...

"Later, he lost the battle with me for the ownership of the Fragrant Leaf Bar, so he held a grudge..."

When Weaver mentioned the word "God's Punishment", he looked at his "employer" in awe.

Afterwards, he had inspected the ruins of the villa in the dock area, and he knew what kind of great power could cause the damage! In his opinion, even if the legendary "Sea King" of the Church of Storms made a move himself, that's all.

What he didn't know was that the prototype of the spell Abner used that night was indeed from "Sea King", and he might even have made it himself.

I see... Abner nodded and said calmly, "Continue."

"After my people mingled with Winstu, they quickly discovered a strange thing, that is, the doctor was seriously injured after going out... and after that, he moved away from the original He insisted on living alone on the edge of the cliff in the southwest of the tribe.

"Although the natives in the tribe are not hostile to him, they don't welcome him to live permanently. Seeing that he offered to move out, they were very happy to help him carry things, but he refused..."

When Weaver said this, before Abner asked about the location of the cliff, he lowered his head and said, "Just when my people wanted to find out which cliff he moved to, he was caught...

"According to him, the one who caught him was a beautiful young girl, who was completely different from those natives in terms of race and dress...but the elders of Winstu respected her very much.

"My subordinates said that the girl did not know what method she used to make him unable to control herself at all, and revealed her identity and origin...

"And before letting my subordinates back, the other party told him that you are her friend, and invited you to meet her at the Winstu Tribe tonight..."

my friend? Who will it be? No, how did she know that "Sea Serpent" Weaver was behind me? Under the constraints of the "contract", it is impossible for Weaver to disclose my information to his subordinates!

Could it be that the other party is cheating? Follow Weaver secretly to see who he will come to?

Thinking this way in his heart, Abner also asked the question.

At the same time, he opened the "Pure White Eye", and relied on the "ceremonies" arranged around the manor to check carefully, and found that no one else was hiding, so he was relieved.

"I thought so too at first...but what the other party asked my subordinates to bring back was a letter with your name clearly written on it..." Weaver took out another letter and handed it over.

Abner took a look and found that the handwriting was beautiful and familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that it was the handwriting of his classmate Miss Roman...

But Roman is just an ordinary person, how could he have contact with the indigenous tribe in Bayam? It doesn't make sense...

Huh? Wait... yeah, I don't actually know Roman's handwriting, what I do know is always Judy's handwriting as Roman!

So, is Judy asking me to meet?

Well, if it's her, she should know my strength. If she heard the details of the Extraordinary Party last time, she might be able to guess that it was me who made the move, and then it is not difficult to judge that I am behind Weaver...

Also, she has a mother who seems to "know" more than I do...

But why did she go to such trouble to see me? Why don't you come to me directly?

Thinking of this in his heart, Abner asked Weaver again: "Did that girl tell your subordinates her name?"

Weaver, who is good at observing words and expressions, shook his head and judged that the "employer" might have guessed in his heart, so he was relieved.

The reason why he paid the maid just now was because he was afraid that this was actually an old friend of the "Hero Detective" who would ask him to meet him at night... That's why he didn't hesitate to offend the other party... so as not to embarrass the "employer" and blame himself.

Now it seems that his guess should be right.
