With the investigation clues of the sewer pipes, the clues provided by Mr. Feringa and the hints given by Miss Brown,
Finally, with the joint efforts of Shade and Ridvich, relying on the "little" convenience given by Galina, who is far away in Saladir County, that is, the Tobeske garrison was mobilized at a critical moment, Shade
Finally, he led his men to stop the train that was about to leave Tobesk before the prisoners escaped, and then followed the clues to find a human trafficking organization that had been operating in the royal capital Tobesk for decades.
According to witnesses at the scene at the time, Detective Shade Hamilton smashed the glass of the train car with one shot, then jumped into the car and leaned on a cane and a pistol, defeating five gun-holding murderers alone.
This human trafficking organization has nothing to do with the woman that Xia De wanted to catch when he ran half a street and was shot in his chest in the summer of 1853. The prisoner who was caught this time specialized in trafficking humans from the old continent to the new continent as slave workers.
Business.
After discovering this huge underground organization, Xia De suddenly realized why he would always encounter people who shot and then killed him when he investigated this matter.
The victims of such a huge trafficking organization almost involved most of Delarion, and its ability to hide in Tobesque for so long is certainly related to some unspeakable big names.
It is precisely because of this incident that Xia De, who has nothing to do this winter, has been investigated more and more times over the past ten years. After the lid finally couldn't be covered, even Jialina had to go out in advance.
Saladir County rushed back to Tobesk.
His Majesty, who is deeply trapped in the "death of an illegitimate daughter" in the Kingdom of Carsonrick, took time to listen to the report on the matter in Reidvich. Then, Larus III, who was wise and powerful but was just blinded in the past.
, and authorized the Duchess of Saradir to fully investigate the major case.
As of the end of November, the arrest and interrogation work continued. At that time, a real-powered duke was already involved. A marquis with a fiefdom was ordered by King Larus III to "rehabilitate".
In order to hedge against this scandal, the newspaper suppressed public criticism of the police and the city hall's dereliction of duty through repeated reports on "Detective Hamilton". In fact, since Galina took over the case, Shade has not continued to participate.
After all, the commission he received was just "investigating the strange sounds underground in the house."
On the last Saturday of the Frost Descent Moon, Dr. Schneider took the newspaper and teased Xia De about making trouble again. The foreigner suddenly looked up and realized:
"Doctor, you introduced this client to me. Can I think so: If it weren't for me, you would actually investigate this matter by yourself because you were curious about the patient's experience and then trigger the entire case...
.I’m sharing the bad luck for you!”
Bill Schneider, who had just taken a sip of tea, coughed suddenly, and Augustus who had wiped his pipe,
Dorothy, who was checking for misspelled in the upcoming report, laughed and Luvia who had just sat down.
Although the limelight of this case almost overshadowed the debate and insults in newspapers between the two countries about the "death of the illegitimate daughter of the Anjou royal family", in fact, for Xia De's investigation of this matter can only be regarded as his in the fall of frost.
The small things done before the end of the month did not take up too much time.
And in those boring days where he didn't want to read books or investigate, he did not forget to worry about the gifts he would give at the end of the year and date the girls.
Vanessa and Cialis plan to return home with the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe in early next month, which is a little earlier than the original plan, but with the current relationship between the two countries, they are indeed not
It's suitable to stay in Tobesk again.
Therefore, during the period before the opera troupe left, Shade would run to meet Vanessa and Cialis almost every two days.
Of course, he did not neglect others. Luvia returned to her normal working rhythm after a brief busy life after returning home. Although she no longer lives in St. Terran Square, she is looking forward to the results of the card identification.
I often go to the association to find her to occupy it.
Dorothy and Lexiya are waiting for the next Red Butterfly Day to arrive while they are busy. After all, it has been a long time since the last Red Butterfly Day date. The next time is not long after.
The matter happened to be on the last day of the Frost Descent Moon, and it happened to be another Sunday. The girls swear that they would never let Xia De go this time.
After Jialina returned, she was busy dealing with the underground human trafficking network that Xia De discovered. Xia De could only see her once or twice a week. This was really troublesome, so although the witches had found help to Xia De
She has not contacted Xia De to deal with this matter for a long time.
The situation between Carsonrick and De La Ryan has also become worse and worse in just a few weeks. The occasional small-scale conflicts on the border reported in newspapers are just the tip of the iceberg that is revealed in the huge situation.
Even the idle people in the taverns believe that the war is likely to break out next week, with the army soldiers on the border, and the confrontation between naval ships has become common since summer. What people are waiting for now is just who fires the first shot first.
.
Carsonrick has the reasons for "death of a royal princess" in his hands. Margaret thought his sister was not recognized, but last week, "Lion" announced that he had recognized Ashley Bettany's identity as a princess.
, She can also be buried in the royal tomb.
Lexiya's father is hinting that her aunt has linked the recently cracked human trafficking case with the South. Galina has not yet expressed this, but in Xia De's opinion, this involvement is so widespread.
Even if the major case is not dominated by the Southern people, the other party must have participated.
However, the upcoming war on the old continent has no relationship with Shade, who lives in St. Terran Square, at least it has nothing to do with it since before.
On Friday morning before the official end of the Frost Descent Moon, on the 28th of this month, during breakfast, Shade thought about running with Grace and Helen yesterday to check the seal status in the "Edge of Life and Death" and then visiting again
The matter of Sister Deflynn.
Emilia was now sniffing the scent of breakfast and walked up from the basement, but she was not here for the breakfast cooked by the maids who had just left a few minutes ago:
"Xiade, where did you receive the textbook I left with you last weekend?"
The elf who was falling into trouble asked in a hurry, and Xia De pointed at the study:
"On the second floor of the bookshelf, do you have to eat before leaving?"
"No, I'm rushing to go to morning class. If I'm late and get my usual points deducted, it will be even more difficult to pass this course in the final period. Oh, this is what Miss Denist just asked me to bring to you.
letter."
After she took the book, she hurriedly handed the letter to Xia De in the restaurant. Although she didn't eat, she picked a piece of bread on the table, then hurriedly went downstairs and left with the bread in her mouth. This action was very girlish
feel.
The cat looked up at Emilia's back, then "meow~" at Xia De. Xia De understood it as the cat thought that someone took their food at will and Xia De did not stop it.
A very cowardly behavior.
"Don't be so stingy, we can't finish so much anyway."
As Xia De said, he put the list of elves sent by Tifa just now on the Steam Bird Daily, suppressing the face of the Kingdom Military Minister on the front page:
"What did Miss Denister ask me for? It shouldn't be a big deal. Although the property of Bennet's family has been almost counted, the church should not tell me to withdraw money through the college."
That money must be "washed" by Xia De through the Witch Council before using it.
Opening the letter from the library administrator lady, I found that there were only two middle lines written on the folded letter paper. [Xia De, the moon of Frost is about to pass, I think it is time to test your learning progress again. If there is
Time, don’t reply to me. See you at the library at 7 o’clock tonight. If you don’t have time, come to see me immediately and explain the reasons in person.]
Xia De realized that this duel was a so-called "once a month" duel, not an extra number. Speaking of this period, he was every three times because of course papers, learning the basic knowledge of the high-spirited warlock and choosing courses next year.
I would see the red-haired sorcerer once every four days, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not act excessively in the library.
Xia De thought she was going to ignore this matter.
[Is there a possibility that she is waiting for you to speak on your own initiative?]
"This...well, very likely."
So that night he had dinner early, and after dinner he went to take a shower, and then left a letter to the girls who might visit St. Terrain Square tonight to explain the situation, and then set off from the basement to head to the college.
After appearing in the bookshelf in the library ground area, he unexpectedly discovered that today's library seemed a bit deserted, and then realized that it was Friday night. This not only meant that most students ended their weekly courses, but also meant that
Students can leave the college castle and enter the college city for a short rest.
"It's the same no matter where the students are."
After passing through the bookshelf, he came to the bottom of the astrology in the center of the library. Xia De unexpectedly discovered that the red-haired sorcerer was not here:
"Hmm? The time is right."
There were various books and documents piled up on the coffee table as usual, and Xia De didn't find a message to him. Just as he was thinking of waiting for a while here, he patted him from behind with one hand. Before this, he
I didn't feel anyone behind me at all.
Turning around and looking, her long red hair tied into a big braid and hung behind her. The red-haired girl wearing the uniform of a ninth-grade student in the college stared at him suspiciously:
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the academy? It's rude to break into the administrator's office like this, right?"
