In this way, everything is connected. Shade's boss, Director Anlos, has mentioned many times that an agent is missing in Yuewan City, and that agent is also involved in the matter of the three precious playing cards.
.
So before the agent died, he somehow met his "defected colleague" Miss Brown, which caused the disappearance of Mrs. Fox's nephew and his wife, which then triggered the "Eternal Light", and finally involved the person who was involved in this matter.
About Shard.
After going around in such a big circle, the matter finally fell on Shade.
Shade continued to chat with Mr. Dylan, and then quietly made a gesture to Mr. Albert beside him. The coroner, who had also disguised his face, then had a light that could only be seen by the ring magician. Shade guessed that this was
The "Light Incarnation" clone technique he once used.
Soon after, the light came back, and Shade ended the conversation with Mr. Dylan:
"Besides this house, are there any clues about the suspicious person?"
"Sir, this"
Mr. Dylan did not answer immediately this time, but said awkwardly:
"You know, this is not your job."
Judging from his expression, it was as if he was afraid that Shade would suddenly shoot him. The reputation of "Grey Headed Eagle" was built with the blood of others by Sparrow Hamilton, and the Kingsman was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
"Indeed, this is not my task."
Shade nodded, then leaned forward suddenly, making Mr. Dylan in front of him almost jump in fright.
"If you have any questions, please ask your new supervisor, Mr. Richard, to ask His Royal Highness Margaret. I don't need to explain to you what I do."
"Yes Yes."
Sweat broke out on Mr. Dylan's forehead, and the other agents he brought with him remained silent in a tacit agreement. This seemed to be a matter between superiors, and silence was the basic quality of a good agent.
"In addition to us and MI6, there are many people who are also looking for the mysterious man, because it is said that the man got a card from the death agent, a very precious card.
It could be the [Original] series, [Angel] series, [Demon] series or [Ancient Wise Kings] series. The value of that card is at least 500 crowns."
That is more than 6,000 pounds, and if it is really these original series of Rhodes cards and they are genuine, you can't even buy them for 6,000 gold pounds.
"Any other information?"
Shade asked again, even if he didn't do anything specifically, but when he got serious, the mental suppression caused by the powerful soul had silenced the room with the door open, and Mr. Dylan, who was facing him, was even more frightened.
:
"Sir, there is no other information for the moment. The intelligence obtained by the lurking MI6 agent is very important, but the cards are not important to us. The intelligence is about the bribes received by the local Gray Glove agents from the seven major families.
That’s all there is, really that’s all there is.”
Even the clergy of the Orthodox Church will be corrupted by the "City of Wealth", and it is not unimaginable for agents to accept bribes. Therefore, it is indeed right for the "Mermaid" to choose this city.
"Okay, I understand. If you have any questions about my actions, just go to Her Highness Margaret and ask."
Shade didn't think he dared to go, or even said that he dared to tell what happened.
After saying this, he left with Mr. Albert.
Back on the street, the coroner hesitated to speak. He was very curious about Shade's identity. He could see that "Mr. Watson" was most likely a big shot in Gray Gloves. But thinking about it carefully, it didn't matter, so in the end he didn't
ask:
"There are no documents or playing cards in the house, but I found this in the cracks of the floor."
He showed the key tied with a red string in his palm, and Shade smiled and said:
"As long as there are clues, Mr. Albert, do you want to do some divination?"
When the two met for the first time, Ptolemy Albert himself said that he was not a diviner (Chapter 2056), but at this time he said:
"There are certain errors in divination, so don't bother me. Can you wait for me? I'll ask a nearby locksmith. Maybe there will be clues."
So he walked into the misty fog. Shade continued to walk forward and entered a snack shop that was still open at the intersection, intending to replenish his "toy inventory." When Shade walked out of the shop holding the paper bag, he put the bag
When they were stuffed into his coat, he noticed that little Mia was still in the pocket, but he had no intention of letting the cat come into contact with these harmful poisonous mist.
After all, little Mia is very fragile.
Mr. Albert also returned soon and brought back another carriage:
"The local locksmith has also joined the mutual aid association. Although he did not make the key, he can tell whose craftsmanship it is. The locksmith profession has its own rules. Let's find the person who made the key."
The carriage drove the two of them through the lower city. Although the old locksmith they found at the next stop had nothing to do with [Eternal Light], his nosy neighbor had also participated in [Eternal Light] activities.
Under the persuasion of his neighbor, the old locksmith finally revealed that the key was made by him half a month ago. Although he had only seen the key, he knew where the door lock was:
"This key is a copy of the original key. There was a numerical number on the original key. Although it was deliberately erased, I still remember it roughly. Similar locks are produced by 'Yuewan United Lock Company'. The entire
There is only one store selling them in the city, and the lock with the corresponding number should have a sales record. Of course, the premise is that the lock was sold within a year."
So the next stop was a store selling door locks. This was the first time Shade knew of such a store. This time, he didn't use "Eternal Light" to have any effect. Shade used illusion magic to become invisible and went to check the sales records.
Then you know where the key corresponds to.
"Let's go, or go to the downtown area, No. 7 Augustus Street, Building B, Augustus?"
This is not an uncommon name.
Shade and Mr. Albert continued to ride the carriage through the thick fog in the lower city. When they arrived at their destination this time, luckily the door was not opened and there was no gatekeeper. Unfortunately, Shade heard the number inside the door.
Many heartbeats.
Shade stepped directly onto the steps. Mr. Albert, who also noticed something was wrong behind the door, wanted to stop him, but Shade shook his head:
"I know."
He did not use the key, but knocked on the door politely. After the knock on the door, the person behind the door apparently waited for a while on purpose before answering. The door just opened a crack, and a local
The handsome man showed his face:
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Shade thought for a while:
"Is Ryan Anjou here?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the door with his fingers, and extended his longest middle finger directly into the door. "Ryan Anjou" was Margaret's father's name, so the corner of the man's mouth trembled, and the gun muzzle passed through the door.
Stretching out from under the lock:
"roll!"
"Wait a moment."
Another person's voice came from inside the door:
"I'm very curious, who is so bold and dares to make such a joke. No matter which party they are from, at least their courage is amazing. Let them come in, since they are all friends."
A series of sounds of pistols being loaded came from the door. Mr. Albert sighed, thinking that Shade wanted to kill everyone after entering the door this time, but Shade said again:
"Director, there is no need to welcome me like this, right?"
There was a tone of doubt from the door, so Shade took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to the person at the door. The latter's eyes widened immediately when he looked at the familiar ID, and he passed the ID to the door.
inside, followed by a series of sounds of re-closing the pistol's safety.
"Come in, I really didn't expect to meet you here."
Director Anlos' face appeared from the door, but he glanced at Mr. Albert again, and Shade assured:
"A friend you can trust."
So the two of them came indoors together, and Director Anlos also smiled and returned the ID to Shade. As for how Shade knew that his boss was inside the door, it was naturally because when he opened the door with his hand just now, his finger pointed towards
The inside of the door, and "her" perception is not limited to Shade's eyes.
"Why did you come to Yuewan in person?"
The door was closed again, and all of Shade's colleagues consciously gave up the space in the foyer. Only Shade, Director Anlos and Mr. Albert were left here.
Director Anlos pressed the hat on his head so that his full face would not be exposed in front of Mr. Albert:
"As you know about the recent situation in Moon Bay, the local police and Gray Gloves are busy maintaining law and order, so I thought of going there in person to do something while taking advantage of the chaos. And"
He lowered his voice:
"I heard that the ace of Gray Gloves, the Gray Eagle, is also here. I'm looking forward to playing against him."
So "Grey-Headed Eagle" nodded clearly:
"My friend and I are tracking down a Rhodes card. We have obtained some clues. This matter seems to involve the missing bottom fish."
Director Anlos felt that it was quite reasonable for Shade to appear here because he was "looking for cards":
"I didn't take the initiative to look for you. You could have investigated it yourself. That's right, and our dead colleague gave the card and some important information to others before he died.
I came here to deal with this matter, which is not a big or small trouble. There is not much progress at the moment, but a few days ago, strangers passed information to us through our channels, wanting to sell those materials to
us.
I wanted to meet the person who took the information in person, but he never showed up. We found this place after tracing. I suspect that the person who took the information was also familiar with the Sixth Office, and had even met me before.
Know our inside information channels.”
Shade pretended not to know anything:
"Director, is there any other news? I just want that card. You know my methods, so let me help."
