The news that Queen Diana was assassinated at the gate of Tobesk Station quickly spread throughout the city on this Wednesday, and then spread to the entire kingdom and even the entire world.
Even though the queen, who was the victim, was not harmed, in the afternoon, the harsh diplomatic rhetoric of the Kingdom of De La Rion came from the Yodel Palace, condemning the despicable actions of the United Kingdom of Carsonric.
Although, both the royal family and MI6 believe that this was not done by the "grey gloves".
The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the station was of course canceled immediately, and the police force, together with the royal guard, escorted the severely frightened Queen back to the Yodel Palace.
The murderer committed suicide, but people in the whole street had to identify themselves and confirm that they were not his accomplices before they could leave. And the biggest hero in this incident, Xia De, who ran two streets just to get shot for no reason, woke up a little later under the care of MI6, the police, the royal guards and the personal servants left by the queen. After that, he was also sent to the Yodel Palace.
"What are you doing?"
Yodel Palace is not a palace, but a complex of palaces. Although compared with other estates and real estate owned by the royal family in Tobesk, except for the better location, the area is not very large, but the Yodel Palace is the place where the royal family lived in the past.
Xia De, who was sitting in the waiting room, was playing with a few coins in his hand, which he won when playing Rhodes cards with the lawyer dozens of hours ago.
The person who asked the question was Miss Galina's personal maid, Miss Tifa Servitt. Shade is currently "injured" and waiting for His Majesty to summon him. In order to appear to attach importance to Xia De, the "savior", Queen Diana sent a maid to take care of the "injured" detective. The black-haired maid was arranged by Miss Galina, in order to protect Xia De from getting involved in unnecessary political struggles.
It worked, and Tifa the maid stayed by Shad's side after he "woke up" and drove away a lot of people with ulterior motives. After all, in terms of seniority, Miss Galina is a generation older than His Majesty the King, and everyone here must respect her.
"I'm thinking about the relationship between God, man, and fate...ahem."
Pretending to be coughing, covering his chest, he could vaguely see the bandage inside from the neckline:
"Dozens of hours ago, before I met the woman who lost her child, the only thing on my mind was to donate the half pound in my pocket to the Church of Dawn, even if I hadn't met the woman , I should have arrived at the Church of the Dawn by noon."
"Really? Is there such a thing?"
Miss Servitt asked curiously, this was the first time she had heard of it. The other maids in the room also looked at Xia De secretly, just like what Miss Bayas said, the subtle changes in his face made Xia De's face more handsome, coupled with what he did today, won Ladies' favors are also normal.
"So, what happened today tells me that fate is absolutely just."
He uttered another rambling, and stuffed the little pennies into his pocket. At this moment, a distraught voice came from the corridor outside:
"I personally recruited him! We were the ones who cracked this conspiracy and protected the queen at the last moment!"
That voice should belong to Mr. An Luosi, the director of MI6.
"Honestly, I did worry that MI6 would not recognize me, which would make these actions of mine difficult to explain."
Pretending to be struggling, she turned her head and said to Miss Tifa Servet, the maid who was standing beside her, that she actually wanted to act more realistically in front of the queen's maid. After all, the maid Tifa knew that Shad had not received any harm other than shock.
"Detective, it is impossible for Mr. Anros not to admit your identity. If you don't use your actions to cover up the incompetence of MI6, he will probably be transferred to the National Cemetery Management Association."
Even though there were other servants in the room, Miss Servitt did not lower her voice. The other people who heard the conversation between the two pretended that they hadn't heard anything.
As a servant here, I know what to hear and what not to hear.
Xia De nodded, and then coughed again pretending to be weak. Although he looks good on the surface and has put on new clothes, in fact, just a few hours ago, he was diagnosed by the doctor as "internal organs damaged due to impact and slight internal bleeding."
The above diagnosis was completely wrong, because Xia De didn't even see the doctor, and Miss Galina, who was present at the time, arranged for someone to do so to cover up Xia De's abnormality. And Mr. Anlos of MI6 was originally on good terms with Miss Galina, and he needed Shad's "injury" to show that MI6 had paid the price to protect the royal family, so he was very enthusiastic and helped to forge Shade hurt.
"Mr. Dak Anlos is really lucky. Not only does he not need to bear the responsibility for the assassination of the queen, he can even take credit for it."
The maid continued to talk, which was actually telling Xia De his current situation.
"But what does the king want with me? A reward?"
He clutched his chest pretending to be in pain.
"At least this time it won't be a reward. You and the woman captured by the captain have confessed to the crime of abducting children in Tobesk."
said the maid.
"Is it indeed the frequent child abduction incidents reported in the newspapers within a few months?"
Shad asked.
"Yes, sir, you and your captain friend have made a great contribution this time. Now Ridwich Field is arresting, and I believe that we can use this as a clue to arrest most criminals, and it is even possible Find the children who were lost before. The credit for this matter and your credit for protecting the queen may be enough for you to get a medal. But the awarding of the Kingdom Medal requires a process, so the reward will not be today."
"Just medals?"
Xia De was a little disappointed.
"It's a great honor."
The maid looked at him strangely:
"Many aristocrats have spent their whole lives thinking about it, but they may not be able to get one. You have won this honor at such a young age. This is what many people dream of... You don't want gold pounds, do you?"
The last half of the sentence lowered her voice, she knew Xia De's situation, so she guessed Xia De's thoughts.
"Of course, I am very short of money now, and you know that I need gold pounds for my studies."
Shad doesn't think this thinking is wrong.
"There is a reward on Ridwich Field for the disappearance of the Tobesk children, and Queen Diana, she will say something."
Miss Tifa Servet reminded softly, Xia De smiled, looking at the series of things today, it feels like a big dream.
It is now 6:30 in the evening, and the days are long in summer, but the nights also come very quickly.
When the sun completely disappeared on the western horizon, and the street lights on Silver Cross Avenue could be seen from the window of the waiting room, Shad still sat there waiting.
It's not that he's been underappreciated or forgotten, it's just that the king is too busy, especially with today's accusations against Carsonrick.
So while waiting to be summoned, different people came to visit Shad. First of all, of course, his titular boss, Director Dak Anros.
After he entered the door, he signaled the servants to leave here first. Seeing that the black-haired maid standing beside Xia De didn't leave, she just raised her eyebrows and didn't say much:
"Hamilton, you did a great job this time! You deserve to be the outstanding talent we have cultivated."
He deliberately said in a very exaggerated voice, and when he sat on the single sofa to the left of Xia De, he pointed to the door, which meant that there might be someone eavesdropping outside the door.
"Hamilton, this time is really good."
Then he lowered his voice and said to Xia De, this sentence is sincere:
"Remember, it was this morning that you finally found out that someone would attack the queen, but because there was no evidence and the time was short, you went to the station to stop it yourself, and blocked the gun at the last moment. As for the investigation of the missing child, the credit is also Yours, but the rhetoric must be changed to prevent being discovered..."
He made a mouth shape, and Xia De understood the general meaning. Before entering the Yordle Palace, Mr. An Luosi had already explained the above matters to Shad, and Shad certainly agreed.
After all, in this way, no one would care about how he accurately found the criminal in the missing child case by walking for half an hour on foot.
"MI6 will not treat you badly, as long as this matter is fooled..."
He twisted his fingers calmly, and Xia De nodded calmly. The two men with a physical age difference of nearly twenty years both got satisfactory answers.
"But which side does the assassin belong to? Mr. An Luosi, it seems that you don't think it's the gray glove."
Shad asked again.
Mr. An Luosi frowned~www.mtlnovel.com~ Obviously this question bothered him:
"Grey Gloves won't do things so rough, and they have no reason to assassinate the queen, and those people don't want to start a war. Judging from Kasenrick's response today, it is indeed not them, someone wants to set the blame give them."
Mr. Anros wiped his chin with his thumb:
"As for the identity of the murderer, there are many possibilities, such as radical organizations that emerged from nowhere, dissidents in the small principality attached to Delarion, careerists in the New World, pirate kings, and even people in the country. question......"
"Ahem."
The maid coughed (Note), and Mr. An Luosi hurriedly shut up. This kind of topic cannot be easily said:
"No matter what, we will continue to track it down. No matter how concealed it is, there will always be clues. However, these have nothing to do with you, Mr. Hamilton, take good care of your wounds."
He let out a long breath, as if he had let go of some heavy burden. Rubbing his face with his hands, he nodded to Xia De, stood up and wanted to leave.
