Part 4 The Undead Chapter 142 Nothing Was Said
Leonard Mitchell said with his hands clasped and his body leaning forward slightly:
”We’ve restored the image Caron saw just before he died.
”It doesn’t present a direct picture of the murderer, but the glass of the convex belly window aptly illuminates the figure of Baron Sindras.”
After a second’s pause, Leonard added:
”It’s too simple to be convincing; an aristocrat and big banker of Baron Sindras’s caliber couldn’t have killed someone himself or been present at the scene to observe, even if he wanted to, unless, of course, he had a special hobby.
”And as you know, there are too many ways to create a similar scene, whether it’s an illusion, or a disguise, it can be done.”
Speaking of disguises, he looked up slightly at Dawn Dantes, as if to say, the odds are that what you look like now isn’t your real image either, as it was for Germaine Sparrow and Sherlock Moriarty.
What a simple and crude planting, it makes you wonder if the murderer behind the scene is really trying to frame Baron Sindelaras …… Well, combing through it again from the beginning, let’s start with the assumption that I, that is, Dawn Dantes, responded the same way as a normal person would …… Anyway, I’m not going to say the conclusion, but only through the asking questions to guide the thoughts, if the final answer is incorrect, then it must be that the poet’s classmates have comprehended the meaning wrongly and failed to understand my hints correctly …… Klein smiled as he lifted his bone china cup and sipped his red tea:
”Let’s not think about that for a moment, if it wasn’t me who was involved, how would things have developed?”
Leonard’s interlocked hands were slightly elevated, his index finger gently tapped and said:
”Dawn Dantes was placed in the police station as a suspect, but his butler, servants, neighbors, and friends could all testify that he had no contact with Caron’s family, so there was a huge contradiction in descriptions on both sides of the fence, and the police were unable to deal with it, and had to apply for the intervention of a ‘night watchman’.
”After the seance, we got the images that Caron saw before he killed himself, and from them we extracted the figure of Baron Sindras ……”
As he spoke, Leonard suddenly fell silent, and it took several seconds before he continued in Dawn Dantes’ watchful gaze with a smile on his face:
”Regardless of whether the appearance of this clue of Baron Sindras is too strange, too simple to be convincing, we will follow the process, make certain contact with him, launch the corresponding investigation …… and this will lead to some of his problems to be detected by us?
”Baron Sindras originally had problems involving extraordinary areas that simply could not withstand the in-depth investigation of the ‘Night Watchers’?”
The more Leonard spoke, the more certain he became, and he seemed to have grasped the plotter’s train of thought.
He, or they, didn’t care if their trap would be discovered, as long as they could get the ‘Night Watch’ to do a routine investigation of Sindras, their goal would be achieved, because Baron Sindras himself was harboring a rather serious and easy to discover problem!
Yes, that’s what I was thinking, it’s actually closer to reporting, but softer, it looks like a trap, so that the Nightwatchman will have to check it out and hide his presence. …… Of course, I’m not going to positively confirm your guess, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I’m wrong? I’m not sure I’m going to be able to confirm your guess. Klein teetered his right foot on his left leg and smiled:
”With an alert Baron Sindras, there is certainly no problem now.”
Leonard nodded slowly and said as if explaining himself:
”The baron has had quite a storied career, coming to the brink of bankruptcy several times and saving the day, climbing to new heights.
”Perhaps, at one of these times, he was desperate and had no other way out, so he sold his soul to an evil god, a demon, or some other hidden being?”
This story is made up quite reasonable well …… Klein did not say whether Leonard’s speculation is right or wrong, and turned to ask the question:
”On the other hand, what would you think about the real murderer who caused Caron to commit suicide?”
Leonard temporarily discarded the judgment he had just made and pondered based on the premise of “normal development”:
”The traps set up were too crude, the hints, guidance and memory implantation were not subtle enough and gentle enough to be easily detected, so it shouldn’t have been done by the middle and high sequences of the ‘viewer’ pathway, it’s more like the extraordinary people of the other pathways utilizing the corresponding magical items to disguise themselves as them in their actions! ……”
Before the words were out of his mouth, Leonard once again fell silent, unsure of what had occurred to him.
Klein maintained a smile if anything, calmly looking at the other party, as if everything was under control, but I just won’t say anything, it all depends on how far you comprehend it yourself.
This is consistent with some of the old man s previous words …… Is it really a certain middle and high sequence “audience”? His seemingly reckless and rough arrangement full of loopholes in fact accurately take into account the reaction of each person will have, taking into account the human nature to follow the process, only to anticipate the wrong Dawn Dantes experience and wisdom? Leonard only felt that he had thought things through clearly, straightened up his body, coughed lightly and said:
”Thank you for your guidance.”
Klein laughed at once:
”I didn’t say anything.”
Not waiting for Leonard to respond, he took the initiative to speak:
”Your ex-colleague asked me to ask you how to inform you if he has found any traces of Ince Zangwill?”
Leonard, who was about to get up to take his leave, had just raised half of his buttocks and sat back down again, with a slightly complicated expression, he was silent for a dozen seconds or so and said:
”Deliver the message in the form of a letter to No. 7, Rue de la Pinte.”
Does that mean you won’t be leaving Birkeland for a long time? Or does it mean that even if you go on a mission elsewhere, there is a way to monitor the movements of 7 Pinkster Street and view the contents of the letter remotely? It’s more likely to be the latter guess, a “stealer” path of the angel must have mastered a lot of strange secret techniques, including many Leonard can use …… can not ask, ask will lower the level of Dawn Dantes, destroy the persona! …… Klein put on a look of no waves, holding a smile and said:
”I will pass it on to him.”
Leonard didn’t leave immediately, opened his mouth, paused, and spoke:
”If, I want to contact him, what should I do?”
His green eyes were deep and introspective as he asked the question.
Klein was prepared for this and smiled:
”A spirit that wanders into the void, a friendly creature to be driven, a messenger belonging uniquely to Germaine Sparrow,” he said.
”For specific rituals, if you’re not sure, ask Parleys.”
Knowing that Germaine Sparrow was Sherlock Moriarty, that is, Klein Moretti, Leonard nodded imperceptibly and stood up:
”Thank you for your information, and please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting.”
With that said, he retreated to the door and opened it, leaving the dream world.
Hey, you’re leaving already? As a Nightmare, or former Nightmare, don’t you even consider your own shortcomings in memorization? You can memorize it after hearing it once? This is too little attention! As Klein watched Leonard’s back disappear, he couldn’t help but slander a few words.
He shook his head helplessly, ended his nap, and busied himself with West Byron.
……
On the “Golden Dream”, Danez, who had finally completed his mission, drank light beer with ice due to the recent hot weather.
If it hadn’t taken extraordinary ability to make ice in such small quantities, he felt he could have drunk half a keg in one gulp.
”This is enjoyment!” Daniz gulped down the remaining liquid in his glass.
Just then, a grayish mist filled out before his eyes, and the voice of Germaine Sparrow began to echo in his ears:
”…… Please tell Daniz to rush to Sibailang immediately and feel out the situation within the respective spheres of influence of the two indigenous generals, Mesangyes and Katami, paying particular attention to any traces of Rose School activity …… ”
Going, going to Sibirang? Daniz took his glass of wine and somewhat stammered as he mentally repeated Germaine Sparrow’s request.
He had once traveled there with the crew of the “Golden Dream” in search of treasure, and had received detailed information from the captain of the ship, “Lieutenant General Iceberg” Edwina, so he knew how chaotic and dangerous Sibiran really was.
Moreover, I’m going alone this time! Daniz bared his mouth and realized that his future was bleak.
The primitive jungles harboring all sorts of terrifying creatures, the indigenous tribes that also believed in the Grim Reaper but had their own weirdness, the roads filled with bandits and rebels, the villages infested with ghosts and phantoms, and the big cities where gunfights and even battles between extraordinary people broke out from time to time, all emerged in his mind.
No, I have to refuse Germaine Sparrow, refuse …… at least, have to send me an assistant! Well …… ordinary people can live in West Byron, get rich and become rich, and own their own manor, which means that it is not as horrible as I thought, I am just scaring myself …… Moreover, Germaine Sparrow just asked me to feel out the situation, didn’t ask me to contact Who against whom …… Danez quickly put on a smile and asked Mr. “Fool” to tell Germaine Sparrow that he was leaving immediately.
Then, following Germaine Sparrow’s prompting, he set up the ritual in his room to ask for Mr. Fool’s blessing.
At the end of the ceremony, he saw the illusory door open and a brooch in the shape of a sunbird in dark gold color flew out and landed on the altar.
This was the “Sun Brooch”!
In the Southern Continent, in the land where the God of Death once ruled, the “sun” was one of the most useful and extraordinary ways!
”Giving such a valuable item directly …… to Gelman Sparrow to do something, it’s still very good …… However, he seems to be talking about borrowing it?” Daniz picked up the brooch, only to feel the moist heat around him intensify a little more.
……
After assigning a task to Daniz, Klein was about to open the door and order his valet Richardson to prepare a glass of iced water for himself, when inspiration suddenly touched him.
Whirling around, he, who had quietly opened his psychic vision, saw the messenger lady, Renette Tynecol, emerge from the void, one of the blonde, red-eyed heads carried in her hand biting into a thin letter.
Who had sent it? From Leonard? Slightly puzzled, Klein held out his right hand.
