Although there are other places in Aiwass where you can temporarily hide, they are not as good as Bishop Mathers' home.
It is safe enough here that no one will come to investigate; the living environment is also very clean and comfortable, and Mrs. Mina can also take care of the food - even by Aiwass's picky standards, her craftsmanship is quite good.
After all, Mrs. Mina is from Iris. It is very reasonable that she cooks better than most Avalonians.
The most important thing is that a large number of newspapers can be easily obtained here. At Sherlock's request, Mrs. Mina now buys a large number of newspapers every day, including "The Glass Steps" and a large number of tabloids.
According to Sherlock, even though those tabloids are mixed with a lot of exaggeration and lies, they still have reference value. There will be a lot of things in them that the Glass Steps Newspaper will not report, and it may be an inconspicuous sentence.
Important information is hidden in it.
Therefore, after Mrs. Mina's persuasion, Aiwass and Lily lived here directly.
The only problem is that there are not enough guest rooms here. Aiwass and Lily can only sleep in one room.
But Lily is Aiwass's personal maid after all, and the relationship between the two is close enough. Let alone sleeping in the same room, there is no problem even if they sleep 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 had just finished courting someone and found Aiwass playing chess with Sherlock safely... then 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 leisure time, Sherlock plans to collect all the ash from more than 140 cigars, cigarettes and 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 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 think Director Kent is not as interested in the Supervisory Bureau as you are."
Aiwasrui commented.
It can only be said that Sherlock really has nothing to do.
But coincidentally, Aiwass was also very free - he was also waiting for things to develop further. So he simply accompanied Sherlock to write the paper.
Sherlock was very happy and said he would write Aiwass's name on it.
But Aiwass refused without hesitation: "I will help you temporarily. Maybe in a few days, I will be busy."
"But at least you helped me for a day."
Sherlock chuckled.
But none of them expected that Aiwass would only help for one day.
Because the next day, Thursday morning, Aiwass saw unexpected news in the newspaper.
"Justice Bran Borca surrenders?"
……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.
As a high-ranking transcendent, Tommy personally brings demons to attack others... Those who can stop him may even be those with "big" in the title. After all, the temptation brought by Boca's surrender is still very great.
Big one - as the vice-president of Lloyd's Club 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 ministers of power in Avalon, and they are all loyal
of the royal family.
At this time, Tommy Lloyd was caught red-handed by them... No matter how the people on the outside worked, it was basically difficult for him to get out.
After all, the person in charge of the "Glass Steps Newspaper" is Master Yannis, and her opinions can basically represent the opinions of the Queen.
And since the newspaper can directly mention Tommy's twenty-one felonies without any concealment, it will not give him the possibility of overturning the case. Now this newspaper is just to put pressure on Lloyd's - tell them,
We are determined to convict Tommy and stop engaging in meaningless operations.
——Good guy, how efficient is it that I fake death for one round?
Sherlock, look!
Although according to Aiwass's expectations, things were indeed going to develop in this direction... But he ran away early Wednesday morning, and both of them were caught on Thursday morning. This still made Aiwass a little unable to hold back.
Can you please stop sending it so fast?
Aiwass still wanted to wait for them to pull it off.
Only when the situation was completely confused could he assassinate Minister Drost.
As a result, the two of them burped as fast as the wind - the middle-level leaders of Lloyd's may not have noticed at all that the two leaders above them were gone. So Avalon suddenly became stable again
.
"……etc?"
Aiwass suddenly realized the problem.
This time the two of them didn't even pull their hair, and they were both imprisoned... So is there a possibility that they will confess Aiwass?
Maybe Boca won't do it, after all, he bet on Aiwass. But Tommy will probably do it.
This was considered revenge against Boca, and it was also an attempt to prove his innocence - to prove that Aleister was really not one of theirs.
Even if Tommy doesn't do this, his memory will most likely be taken away in the end. At that time, Aiwass will still be unable to hide it.
Avas frowned slightly for a moment.
The main reason is that these days, the names of demonologists are really unpleasant. It is because of these people of Noble Red, their initiation ceremony is evil enough... In addition to the occult significance, it is also to make the new members directly take human lives.
There is no turning back.
——As long as they are Noble Red Demonologists, no one will be innocent if they are all killed.
And this also leads to a problem...that is, it is difficult for Aiwass to prove his innocence.
As a demonologist, he will always have his own contracted demon, right?
Then if he showed his Shadow Demon... it would be tantamount to exposing his entire plan.
……what to do?
How about asking Isabel for a pardon?
"……No."
Aiwass quickly made up his mind: "There is still a way."
He couldn't help but feel lucky - fortunately, he had a backup plan.
He stood up, changed his clothes, and called Lily: "Get ready to go out, Lily."
"Where to go?"
Lily followed me obediently and asked in surprise: "Are you going out in the morning?"
After all, both Lily and Aiwass are types whose fighting power is much stronger at night than during the day.
"Because we don't have much time, we have to do it as soon as possible."
Aiwass narrowed his eyes, put on the ring symbolizing the Noble Red Society, and said calmly: "Let's go silence them."
The second chapter is estimated to be around two o'clock——
Chapter completed!
