Shade walked out of the door and turned around to see Lesia walking briskly with a group of maids. When she saw Shade standing in the corridor, she thought Shade was waiting for her:
"I brought "Summer Night Collection"."
Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled and waved the book in her hand. Although Shade had seen this book many times, he had never really seen the content inside.
"Just bring it. I'm looking forward to the content inside."
Shade said, and Lesia asked again with a slightly red face:
"Did you bring that?"
This was something Lecia specifically asked Dorothy to remind Shade not to forget this morning.
"Yes, I brought it."
He shook the small crown pendant hanging on his wrist, and the red-haired princess showed a satisfied expression:
"I hope this book club will be as successful as last time. Come in with me."
She pretended to use the key to open the door to the lounge at the end of the corridor, turned around and saw Tifa standing in front of the door diagonally opposite, looking at them.
"Good evening, Miss Servet, how are you doing in Saradir County?"
Lesia said hello, Shade turned around and wanted to say something more to Tifa, but was pulled directly into the room by Lesia:
"No one is allowed in without my permission."
The crowned princess spoke seriously to the maids she had brought, so the personal maids stood at the door. Lesia finally smiled at the black-haired maid diagonally opposite, and Tifa saw her
Inside the door, he turned around and hugged Shade passionately. Shade's left eye was covered by Lesia, and his right eye looked at Tifa through the door.
The two looked at each other across Lesia, and with Lesia's gentle push of the spell, the door behind her closed. The space between the door became smaller and smaller, Shade still looked at Tifa, Tifa
Looking at Shade, she even saw the blonde girl walking over.
The door soon completely blocked the sight of the two of them, one was inside the door and the other was outside. Lecia's maids quickly found their respective positions at the door and stood still, but they seemed to be very interested in what was happening inside the door.
interest.
"This feeling"
Tifa blinked her beautiful eyes:
"It's really interesting."
There is a big difference between the princess's silver crown and His Majesty's crown, and when both are present, many interesting games can be played. Even Dorothy, who was very reserved, played again after more than a month
Tonight on the "Day of the Red Butterfly", I still showed my enthusiasm.
No one knows what is happening inside the door, but the girls who know about this special event can't help but imagine the fiery scene inside.
But around 8:30 that evening, the sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the peace of the rest area. The protagonist of the birthday party, the little princess Agelina, anxiously held up her skirt and arrived with her maid.
Here, I wanted to approach the innermost door, but I was a little afraid of my sister, so I knocked on Miss Carina's door.
At this time, the Duchess was in the room, chatting with Lesia's married sister, Princess Camille. Seeing Agelina rushing in, the princess, who was already the mother of two children, said with some dissatisfaction:
"Agelina, you are a seventeen-year-old girl now, why are you still so reckless? What about the etiquette of a lady?"
"If you have something to do, please contact Aunt Carina."
She said timidly, so Miss Carina nodded, and Princess Camille regretfully ended the visit. When Tifa closed the door, Agelina said nervously:
"I want to see Shade. Something has happened now and I need him to show up."
She briefly explained what was happening in the banquet hall at the moment. Miss Carina put down the book in her hand and frowned slightly:
"Is there such a thing? Tifa, take Ajelina and knock on the door. Even Lesia must let Shade show up at this time. No, no, I'll knock on the door, otherwise you might
Will be torn apart by angry eaters."
After saying that, she stood up from the sofa and the group of people entered the corridor and walked towards the closed door. The maids originally wanted to stop them, but when they saw Miss Carina, they had to give up their positions.
The witch knocked on the door herself. After knocking twice, although she did not hear the sound inside the door, she knew that they must have heard it. So the people in the corridor waited for a moment, and soon the door was opened, wearing only a white shirt.
Shade appeared at the door and used his body to block the ladies outside the door from peering into the door:
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Agelina and Miss Carina were both there, he also realized that something might have happened.
Smelling Shade's scent, the witch's face turned red:
"First wipe off the lipstick marks on your body. Really, what are you playing at? Agelina, tell me."
Shade just put on his clothes in a hurry and opened the door. The top two buttons of his shirt were not even fastened. Her Royal Highness the Princess took a peek at Shade's neck, with her pursed mouth, the tip of her tongue touched the inside of her lips, and then spoke quickly
He quickly said:
"There's been a murder."
"Murder? Here? Yodel Palace?"
"Yes, father already knows about this matter. Now, there are about a dozen people who know that the corpse has appeared, and they are all controlled by people from MI6, so most of the guests don't know what happened. Father instructed that before the banquet ends,
Find the murderer and let you investigate and solve the case as a detective instead of letting the police handle the case with great fanfare. Try to minimize the impact of the matter and not attract too much attention when investigating the case."
"Is there such a thing? I mean, I understand, I'll go now."
As he was talking, Lesia's voice came from the room behind Shade:
"Shad, did the damn Kasonrik people hit Tobesk City?"
"of course not."
"What's that?"
Shade explained what happened to Lecia and Dorothy. Although they were not willing to let Shade leave like this, they were forced to admit that they really needed him to deal with this matter. So the three of them could only hurriedly
After changing clothes, Shade followed Agelina to the crime scene, while Lecia and Dorothy went to the banquet hall together, so that no one would doubt that Lecia was there all night
What have you done.
However, before Shade left, Lesia told him to come back within an hour and threatened Agelina. Although Lesia's tone was still calm, the little princess could also feel that Lesia at this moment...
How dissatisfied Cavendish was.
Miss Carina was not suitable to participate in this matter, so she asked Tifa to follow Shade and act as a temporary detective assistant. As Agelina walked towards the location of the incident, Shade asked for more details:
"Speaking of which, how many of the dead are there? Are they people I know?"
"The deceased is a person you just met more than an hour ago."
"who?"
"Daniel Philip. The eldest son of Marquis Philip, the one who had a conflict with you at the door of the banquet hall."
In this way, without Shade's personal intervention, Larus III would already have one less engagement partner for Agelina.
The murder took place not in the banquet hall, but at the end of the long corridor where the banquet hall was located, in the room used to temporarily store gifts. The rooms in Yodel Palace are generally very large, and there were piles of gifts at the murder scene.
, and after Shade entered the door, he immediately saw Daniel Philip lying on the ground.
Just like when I saw him more than an hour ago, the young man was wearing a red Royal Army uniform and black boots. He lay on the carpet with obvious impact wounds on the back of his head. Next to the body, casually
There was a blood-stained copper swan statue thrown away. This was also a gift brought by the guests. There was even a pink ribbon hanging around the swan's neck, but most of the ribbon was stained black with blood.
The servants and guests who knew about the incident were "resting" in the next room. Princess Agelina could not be with the body, so she also went to the next room. At this time, the Yodel Palace standing at the scene of the crime
The butler, the royal attendant, Deputy Director Morris of MI6 who is responsible for Yodel Palace affairs, and Mr. Johnson, the senior superintendent of Ridwich Field who came in the same hurry as Shade, this point fell from his shoulders.
A crown and a star can be seen on the epaulettes.
Among the people present, only Deputy Director Morris of MI6 knew that Shade was also from MI6. The others only knew that he was a well-known detective in Tobesk.
Therefore, before Shade arrived at the scene and prepared to start the investigation, the serious-looking senior superintendent asked a question:
"I'm sorry, Sir Hamilton, I'm not doubting you. But before the investigation, can you clearly explain your personal itinerary between seven o'clock and just before Her Majesty Agelina saw you?"
His suspicion was quite correct. After all, hundreds of people had just seen the conflict between Shade and the deceased. Naturally, Shade couldn't say what he was doing just now. Fortunately, Tifa took the initiative to speak:
"Hamilton was with Miss Carina just now."
She introduces herself as a maid:
"They have been in the lounge upstairs. As for what they were doing, I'm sorry, this is the privacy of Miss and Mr. Hamilton."
People immediately expressed their understanding, and their doubts about Shade were easily eliminated:
"Since it is the Duchess of Saladir who is testifying, Lord Hamilton is certainly not a suspect. Then, please start the investigation."
People retreated to the wall, leaving only Tifa behind Shade. Shade squatted down next to the body, put on white gloves to check the wounds of the body. He pretended to be so professional because he had almost seen the "answer".
The next step is just to go through the process of finding answers.
He hoped that he could go faster and not make Lecia and Dorothy wait too long. But at the same time, he was also curious about who killed Daniel Philip and helped him so much. If possible
, Shade really wanted to hold the other person's hand and thank him, and then punch him in the face to retaliate for wasting the time of the Red Butterfly Day.
