Almighty Alchemist

Early in the morning, the Harden family went to visit the Raschel family.

Although at home, Raschel is not free.

His study was filled with whole piles of files on Hugh Igles.

It was the section about the Harden family in Southwell that Raschel was now flipping through.

Raschel's servant knocked on the door a few times: "Master, Baroness Harden and his wife are here to visit you."

"Please come in." Raschel didn't look up.

After reading the last bit of information, Raschel stepped out of the study.

Baron Harden's family of four were already waiting in Raschel's living room.

Seeing Raschel come out, the baron saluted Raschel with a very standard courtesy: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Raschel. I'm William Harden, a person who has received your favor. This is my wife Barmera and my two children, Julia and Tammy. We came here specially to express our thanks to you, and I hope I didn't disturb you. Since I received the letter of inauguration in Southwell Town, I feel very panic. Why does Mr. help me so much, but I still want to pay you the highest respect on behalf of our family!"

When Baron Harden said this, he expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Raschel returned a salute: "Nice to meet you, Baron Harden, hello, beautiful lady, and you, lovely children."

"We're not kids anymore." Julia didn't like being called that.

"Shut up, Julia." Baron Harden reprimanded his daughter severely, with a top hat in his hand, it could be seen that he was a little nervous.

"There is no need to be too strict with children." Raschel said with a smile: "You are welcome to sit down, do you want something to drink?"

"Oh, thank you, no need." Baron Harden replied somewhat cautiously.

"You're welcome, how about some coffee?"

"Then...alright." Baron Harden nodded, "Let's have some juice, kids."

Raschel rang the bell, and the house servants brought the drinks.

After taking a sip of his coffee, Raschel said slowly, "I guess you must be surprised by my recommendation."

"...Actually, it is Mr. Raschel. The Marquis Barryman told me in his letter that the reason why he decided to hire us was entirely from your recommendation. To be honest, I was very surprised. In my memory, I don't remember that I had any contact with you. I don't know how Mr. Raschel would recommend me to the Marquis? But anyway, I am very grateful for your help. You know... We have indeed had some financial difficulties recently."

When the baron said the last sentence, he was quite speechless.

"Yes, I understand the doubts in your heart. Although you don't know me well, I know the Harden family very well. Oh, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. Jason Raschel, currently working in the Jurisdiction Department, is a small detective, but because he has recently caught a big case, he has a little power in his hands, and some big people will occasionally give me some face."

After saying these words, the faces of the Hadens and his wife changed at the same time.

"Oh, my God!" The baroness even stood up directly: "You are from the Legal Affairs Bureau? I should have thought of it a long time ago, and it was for Iglare? Hell, people from the Legal Affairs Bureau have approached us countless times in the past six months. I also said more than once that we have not had any contact with him since he left Harden's house!"

"Madam, please don't be nervous. In fact, I don't intend to ask you any more questions about Hugh Igles. On the contrary, I believe that every word you said before, you know as much about Hugh Igles as I do."

"Then why..."

"It's just an expression of apology." Raschel solemnly declared: "I know that the Harden family has had a hard time in the past six months. The agents of the Legal Affairs Bureau have seriously affected your life. Some servants of the baron's family even quit. The land is uncultivated, and the economy is in trouble. These are all caused by that damn Hugh Igleser, and of course we are also related. We have affected your normal life. So when I learned that the Marquis of Barryman needs a tutor in etiquette, I thought of you . I see this as an opportunity to make amends."

"That's it?" Baron Harden was a little taken aback.

"Of course, if you guys are willing to talk about Hugh Iglesel, I won't mind. Sigh, you know, this kid is really giving me a headache." Raschel made a face of helplessness: "Sometimes I really hope that you have missed some important clues, and then suddenly remember to tell me... Oh, don't be nervous, I said I will not interrogate you, everyone just chats casually. You must know that the agents of the Legal Affairs Bureau are sometimes too incompetent, and often they may not be able to find some clues that are close at hand. But please believe Me, this is definitely not an interrogation, just a casual chat, and then you go to the Marquis's house to do something, everything is as simple as that."

Raschel said this with the utmost sincerity.

This made Baron Harden heave a sigh of relief.

At least he was much better at speaking than the clerks from the Legal Affairs Bureau that he had come into contact with before.

Of course, he also specially found a job with a good salary for himself. In this case, it doesn't matter even if he answers some questions.

Lord Harden said: "Good Mr. Ruschel, if you want to hear, I know everything."

—————————

"Although saying this may make you unhappy, I still have to say that Xiu Yi is the most well-behaved child I have ever met. He is very sensible and very obedient. If you ask him to do something, he will try his best to do it well..."

It was the Baroness Baroness who was talking. She was a little nervous, but noticed that her words did not dissatisfy Raschel. On the contrary, she gave her an encouraging smile, and she began to be bold: "I don't know how Hugh Iglesle became a wanted criminal of the empire and committed such a horrible case. Could it be that the Legal Affairs Department made a mistake? You must know that he is still a child. And he is very timid. He dare not even kill a chicken. girl."

"Oh? He's very timid?" Raschel became interested. These words are not in the file. Of course, that is because they are personal evaluations. How dare the Hardens speak the truth in the face of those wolf-like agents of the Legal Affairs Department.

Madam nodded again and again: "Yes, every time Tammy bullies him, he will hide in a corner and cry secretly."

"He still likes to cry?" Raschel laughed.

It was really hard for him to connect the timid and crying Xiu Yiglier with the Xiu Yiglier who showed his arrogance unscrupulously in the central square and teased everyone.

They looked so different.

Raschel's smile further strengthened the madam's courage, and the madam said: "Yes, so I usually take good care of him and don't allow Tammy to bully him. And Julia, she and Huey have a very good relationship. When I was young, Julia often took Huey out to play. I often said that Julia's temper was too wild, but Huey was more like a girl. Later his aunt sold him, and he threw himself into my arms and cried. Oh, God, I really didn't want him to go. "

"It really doesn't sound like the Hugh Igles I know." Raschel shook his head in admiration, but doubts arose in his heart.

He could see that at this moment, the baroness was absolutely speaking from her heart.

But it was precisely because of this that things seemed strange.

It's hard to imagine that a little boy who only knew how to hide and cry in the baroness four years ago suddenly changed after being sold to Purgatory Island. He became a boy who endured humiliation for four years, and finally succeeded in killing Lianhe Island and taking revenge on the empire.

"As far as I know, the reason why he knows how to read is because you taught him?" Raschel asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"Then what kind of education did you give him during that time?"

"The same education as Tammy, some aristocratic education, although it is a bit old-fashioned, but it is a family tradition." The baron quickly replied, this question must be cautious, the baron never wants to give the other party the feeling that he is the one who taught Huey.

For this reason, he specifically said to his son: "Tammy, tell Mr. Raschel what books you have read."

Tammy replied immediately: "The biography of the empire, the family history of the Reims Empire, and some books on mathematics and philosophy, as well as some art appreciation."

"It's all education that cultivates sentiment, and there won't be any bloody content." The baron solemnly declared.

Raschel was a little strange: "That's it?"

"Yes, Mr. Lascher." Madame answered with certainty.

"Then, has Hugh Igles secretly read some forbidden books?"

The baroness and his wife looked at their son and daughter at the same time. Tammy and Julia replied simultaneously: "Absolutely not! We never read prohibited books."

"It's really interesting, so there are no books on unofficial history?"

"No."

"Do you usually tell stories to children?"

"rare."

"What are you talking about?"

The baroness gave a general answer.

Raschel's brow furrowed even tighter.

There was a light of surprise in his eyes: "This is really interesting."

"I don't understand, what do you mean?" The baron didn't understand why there was such a strange expression on Raschel's face.

Only Raschel himself understood what he was surprised about.

Some things are not secrets after all.

For example, the relationship between the little princess and Xiu Yiglaer.

According to the information he knew, the reason why Hugh Igles can make the little princess look at him differently is that besides his ability to talk, the most important thing is that his mind seems to be full of endless stories and rich ideas of life. This makes the little princess always have endless novel stories when she gets along with him.

Raschel originally thought that these were taught to him by the baroness couple.

But the answer he got was not like this.

At this moment, Raschel thought carefully for a while before carefully asking: "Then, have you heard the story of Hamlet?"

The baron's family looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Where's Romeo and Juliet? Snow White? Sleeping Beauty..." Raschel popped out one story name after another.

It was what Xiu Yi told Avril Lavigne.

After Avril Lavigne returned from Lianhe Island for the second time, she told her father the stories she knew one by one. Even when he was wearing the emperor's new clothes, the emperor laughed heartily.

Padgett had heard these stories, so Raschel had heard some, too, and he was surprised that, though he was well-informed, he had never heard of the stories Huey told.

He originally thought that the baron or the baroness made it up for Xiuyi. Judging from the quality of these stories, they were definitely not something a teenager could make up, so he didn't care too much. But now, he found that things were far from the case.

None of these stories had ever been heard by the Baron's family.

They stared blankly at Raschel.

"This is interesting." Raschel asked incredulously: "If you hadn't taught him, how could he have told so many stories during the period from when he left your mansion to when he was sent to the island?"

Raschel may never find some answers, but some questions may not be what he was looking for, but he found them by accident.

At that moment, Julia suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, there's a story I've heard."

"What story?" Raschel was taken aback.

"It's the story of King Lear," cried Julia.

The baroness was surprised: "What kind of story is that? Julia, I told you, don't just read books outside, some books are not suitable for you to read."

Tammy quickly replied, "No, mother, it wasn't from the book, it was on our way here. Remember? We met a song and dance troupe. There was a play there called King Lear."

Raschel was stunned: "What song and dance troupe?"

"The Violet Song and Dance Troupe, they are very popular recently, they have released a lot of new songs, the story is very exciting." Tammy replied.

At that moment, Raschel seemed to be struck by lightning.

"The Violet Song and Dance Troupe?" There was a spark in his eyes.

—————————————————

Harden's family left, and Raschel sat alone in the study, as if he had encountered some difficulty, he was thinking hard, and his brows were frowned into a huge Sichuan character.

No one knew what a shock it was to Raschel when Julia uttered the name of the Violet Ensemble.

He suddenly realized one thing. With the wisdom of Hugh Igleser, why would he be so easily discovered by the head of a song and dance troupe? With the high level of vigilance he has cultivated from his long-term survival on Lianhe Island, what reason is there for him not to notice after being written a whistleblower letter?

No, it's not that I didn't notice it!

All the methods he used to kill Ablit were extremely targeted, which was obviously premeditated!

And the Violet Song and Dance Troupe didn't get any punishment after betraying Hugh Iglesne, on the contrary, they became more and more prosperous. Just like the story Huey told the little princess, they released a series of new operas one after another, with wonderful stories, moving plots, classic dialogues and charming tunes.

What does this mean?

There is only one possibility!

They are complicit!

The more he thought about it, the more certain Raschel was about his guess.

Hugh Igles has a special charm, as long as he is willing, he can make everyone who is close to him like him.

For a group of singing girls, someone like Hugh Igles must have unstoppable charm.

"My God, it's a hoax, it must be a hoax!" murmured Raschel.

He quickly got up and walked out of the study.

"Prepare the carriage and go to the Legal Affairs Office!" He ordered his servants.

"Yes, sir."

The carriage soon arrived at the Attorney General's Office building.

Raschel quickly came to the archives room of the General Administration Building, and the staff in charge of the management were dozing off.

Raschel knocked on the window: "I need some information about Fragrant Leaf City."

"Which? Mr. Raschel."

"A whistleblower letter from the Violet Song and Dance Troupe to the Jurisdiction Department about Hugh Igles, and a letter from the head of the Brownie family to his brother. Both must be originals."

"That requires the signature of the Director."

"I'll just watch it here, and don't take it home."

"Then please wait a moment."

The administrators quickly handed the two letters to Raschel.

After Ablit's death, all content related to Hugh Igles was sealed, including these two letters. The informant letter from the Violet Song and Dance Troupe was kept as it was sent directly to the City Lord's Mansion. As for the patriarch's letter tampered with by Xiu Yi, it miraculously survived the fire that burned out the Brownie family manor. A few pieces of paper were left behind. Because Xiu Yiglaer's name was written on it, it was finally discovered and preserved by the Legal Affairs Bureau.

Of course, the patriarch himself swears to the death to deny the content of this letter.

At this moment, Raschel stared at the two letters, his face was as gloomy as dark clouds.

He muttered to himself: "I'm such a fool, I should have thought of it earlier."

Seeing that the administrator didn't pay attention, Raschel secretly hid the two letters, and then returned the file to the administrator: "I've taken care of it, thank you, Lal."

"You're welcome, Sir Raschel." The administrator didn't notice that the letter was no longer in the file.

Raschel went straight back to his office, he rang the bell on the desk, and a young man walked in.

"Is there anything you want, sir?" asked the young man.

"Jerry, how long have you been working in the Legal Affairs Department?" Raschel asked him.

"Three years."

"Three years, it's not too short a time." Raschel sighed: "For three years, you have always been an orderly worker. Have you ever thought about becoming an official Legal Affairs Bureau agent?"

"That's always been my dream, sir."

"Very well, I have a few things here for you to do. When you are done, I will make you an official agent."

"We must complete the task entrusted by the officer!" The young man named Jerry was overjoyed.

"Very good." Raschel took out the two letters from his pocket: "You first go to the slums in the southern suburbs of Winnington to find an old man named Bull. This guy is a drunkard. Just go to the taverns in that area and inquire about him. You can ask him to help you identify the handwriting on the two letters and see if there is any handwriting of the same person on it...while he is sober."

"Okay sir, is that all?" Jerry agreed.

"After the result comes out, if it's not there, you don't have to do anything, just return the letter to me."

"And if so?"

"Then you are about to leave Winnington. I need you to find a song and dance troupe called Violet, and then find a way to get in among them."

"what do you mean……"

Raschel's expression was very serious: "Jerry, if my predictions are correct, the violet singing and dancing troupe is likely to be Hugh Iglesia's accomplices. But what I need is not to catch them, but to use them to find Hugh Iglesel and get him out. What I need you to do is very simple, enter this singing and dancing troupe, and then pay attention to all the movements inside."

"Yes, Sir Raschel."

"Remember, this operation is strictly confidential, and you can't tell anyone except me."

"I understand, Sir Raschel."

"Also, in three months' time, it will be His Majesty's fortieth birthday, and there will definitely be many grand arrangements. During this time, I want you to bring the Violet Song and Dance Troupe to Winnington."

"This way we can catch Hugh Iglesel?" The young man was a little confused.

"Maybe." Raschel spread his hands: "Some chess pieces have to be played before we can know what effect it will play. Although I have prepared a few dark chess moves in my hand, I don't mind adding another useful dark chess."

Jerry understood, and he saluted Raschel: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely not let you down with this pawn."

"That's good."
