Mystery: Start with the Reader

　　The lady who walked into Isinger's detective office was about twenty-five or sixteen years old. She was wearing a red long dress, her skin was white and smooth, her figure was plump, her black hair was like a waterfall, and her blue eyes were charming and very attractive.

　　Because detective Isenger happened to be absent, the servant of the family took the lady to Abner’s office in a little despair.

Abner was slightly taken aback when he first saw the face of this lady, but he was a well-informed person in the information age, and he quickly returned to normal, politely greeted: "Hello, madam. I’m Abner, Detective Stanton’s apprentice and assistant. Detective Stanton has not yet come back. If you have something to entrust, you can wait until 11 o’clock.”

　　 The lady squinted and smiled. Although it was just a simple action, it was very eye-catching. She glanced at Abner slowly, and said in a very sweet voice: "I actually came to see you, Mr. Bryan. You are already a well-known detective nearby, and I have some small things to entrust you to do. "

Abner was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he had a little fame, the people who really came to him to do things were actually people who were not well-off and cheap. The clothes and jewelry on the lady in front of him were not priced. Fei, it's not like someone who cannot afford to entrust a teacher.

However, since someone came to give money, Abner would not refuse. He first took the lady to the hospitality area to take a seat, and then asked: "Madam, I am honored to have your approval. May I ask, how can I help? To yours?"

"Detective Bryan, just call me Rey." After the lady named Rey reported her name, she continued, "I want to entrust you to investigate the hobbies and daily travel habits of these gentlemen. The more detailed the better."

　　 While talking, she took out a folded piece of letter paper from her bag and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

　　 Abner owed his lower body, then unfolded the letter paper, and read the name on it carefully.

　　 "Lord Natos, Viscount Conslake, Baron Gramer, Baron New Grass..."

　　 "There are 12 in total, all single aristocratic men... Good fellow, this lady is going to build a fish pond?!" Abner saw a twitch in the corner of his eyes, and subconsciously spit out in his heart. Then, he recalled the information about these nobles in the teacher's materials, and gradually got a sense of it. But he still pretended to be difficult, frowning slightly, "This commission is not complicated, but it is very cumbersome. It takes a long period and a lot of helpers to complete."

　　 "I understand, I will pay you a satisfactory price." Ms. Rey nodded lightly, then inadvertently cast a wink at Abner, giving enough hints.

　　 Abner turned a blind eye to this, and pondered for a moment:

　　 "20 pounds, it involves nobles, I have to bear a certain risk, so the price of this commission is 20 pounds! In addition, you have to give me at least one week."

　　 In fact, most of the things this lady wants are in the teacher's database, and at most they are out of date. Just reconfirm it.

"The price is very reasonable, I accept it! Well, I can pay you 5 pounds in advance, and I will come over again on Friday. If things get better, I will pay you 5 pounds again. The rest is for all I'll give it to you when it's done!" Ms. Rey looked very wealthy and didn't make any counteroffers.

　　 "Then let's sign the contract!" Abner took out the standard contract, signed it first, and then handed it to Ms. Rey.

　　 The other party seemed to sign it without even looking at it.

　　 sent Ms. Rey out of the door and photographed the valet who was still awake before Abner returned to his office and re-examined the commission. This is his habit, and it is also the need of the ‘reasoning student’.

"On the surface, Ms. Rey seems to be just a socialite for screening high-quality men. This is more consistent with her dressing temperament and the content of the commission. But she always gives me a sense of danger and violation! In addition, she There are also some problems with the list of noble males...Although they are all single, they don’t seem to be in very good condition. According to the teacher’s information, these people are either already depressed and economically unoptimistic, or offended the real powerists who are temporarily losing power...In short, These are people who have a certain status but no aristocratic essence!"

"And Ms. Rey chose these goals, one may be because these people pretend to be glamorous and deceive her. But this may be very low. The lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and even if there are one or two superb acting skills to deceive her. Not everyone is like this! Well, the second possibility is that these people were carefully selected by Ms. Rey, and the loss of power was originally her expected goal!"

"But what is the point of her choice? She is very rich, so she wants to find a man with status but embarrassment to improve her social status? It is possible, but this kind of lady is the target of many nobles, and she doesn't need it. Find a detective to listen to the information, as long as you participate in a dance party, the other party will be hooked...unless her money is not coming from the right way!"

　　 "The other possibility is what she wants to achieve with this type of man. For example, using the other person as a springboard to climb higher branches. Or... Huh? This Baron Gramer seems to have appeared in the novel!"

　　 Halfway through the reasoning, Abner suddenly squinted his eyes. He silently opened the pure white eyes, recalled the content of "Lord of Mysteries", and suddenly had a new idea:

"Baron Gramer turns out to be the hapless person who will be replaced by Lieutenant General Zillinger...Looking at it this way, the nobles on the list actually have another thing in common, that is, they have not hired Extraordinary bodyguards. !"

"So, Ms. Rey is choosing a suitable target for Zilingus to disguise in advance? Yes, after replacing the hapless one, Zilingus quickly mastered the other party's habits, hobbies, and tone of personality. Obviously someone gave him the corresponding information in advance. And such private information can only be easily obtained by beautiful women who have a close relationship with Baron Gramer..."

　　 After thinking about this, Abner has roughly figured out the context of the matter, as long as there is one or two more evidences to support him, he can really confirm it. This kind of reasoning that knows the result of the reverse process is indeed the simplest.

"Hey, think about it now, that lady Rey is not necessarily a real beauty! Behind the shot of Zilingos was promoted by an organization that can’t name it. That organization and the Witch’s Church are in Luen. This series of events is considered an ally. Moreover, after Zilingos died, his pirate fleet was also taken over by the Witch Church...So it is reasonable to send a witch in advance to gather information!"

　　 Thinking of this, Abner has a headache, and sympathizes with the male servant who still looks like a lost soul in the living room.

"It's better to pretend I don't know about this matter. It involves the ancient sun god. As long as she doesn't come to provoke me, I don't have to deliberately do bad things. Under the interference of the'writer', it may not be bad...Moreover None of the nobles on the list are good people, except for a few of them, they are all good things."

　　 After Abner had a decision in his heart, he did not immediately sort out the information, but planned to change his reasoning logic a little, and then discussed with the teacher. A defensive heart is indispensable. For a suspected ‘witch’, Abner doesn’t have the slightest trust in him, and he has to be prepared for unexpected accidents.

　　...

After leaving the detective office, Rey showed an interesting smile on his face and whispered to himself: "Very interesting little detective, I can ignore my charm! Hmph, I can't let you indulge in joy sooner or later. Extricate yourself!" Then, she boarded a carriage that had been parked on the side of the road.

　　 There was already a person waiting in the carriage at this time. It was a young girl with a pure face and a very literary temperament.

Seeing Rey back in the car at this moment, the young girl, while bowing slightly, also asked curiously: "Master Rey, we can easily collect these simple information, why should we spend money to entrust it to a detective? ?"

"Because this is more natural and more in line with the identity we have shown. Even in the official Extraordinary survey, there will not be much doubt. I just think that I am a mistress who is good at finding opportunities. If this step is missing, it is not clear why we are. I am familiar with the habits of a nobleman and can easily meet each other. This way, as long as it is investigated, it is easy to be regarded as a suspicious point." Ms. Rey explained with a smile.

　　 "But aren't those nobles so devastated that they don't have Extraordinary bodyguards? How can they attract official investigations?" The young girl was still puzzled.

"Just in case. And the desolation on the bright side is not necessarily true. We need to reserve a means to face the accident." Rey shook his head and pointed the young girl with his finger, "Lina , You are too careless, and you are not at all guarded against the personnel you have developed. Now the other party has fallen into the hands of the official and also gave you out. If I hadn’t been with you before, you would be in that loan shark gang. I was in an ambush by the official team!"

　　 "I didn't think Turner was so wasteful, and I could even do the selling business." Lina was a little discouraged.

　　 "Have you checked how the person you developed was exposed? Don't ask for revenge, but you have to take warning." Rey asked.

"I haven't found out what happened... But before Turner's accident, a bounty hunter had investigated the loan shark. Maybe Turner's arrest was related to her. I was planning to investigate from her. By the way, that Bounty hunters seem to be relatively well-known in the Eastern District, called'arbiters'"
