Whispering Verse

After the meeting, everyone left, leaving Dr. Schneider to take bed rest, even though he was reluctant to do so.

Shade winked at the female fortune teller, indicating that he wanted to talk. Although Shade did not understand the doctor's complicated gestures in Lakeview Manor, Miss Anat easily understood what Shade wanted to express at this time.

So Schad walked around the Roentgen Boulevard. After standing on the street corner and waiting for a while, he saw the carriage stop beside him. Miss Anat waved him up from the window.

"Detective, what's wrong?"

Because their destination was the city center, Shade got on the carriage and the carriage set off again.

"This shouldn't be considered taking advantage... Do you need to give half of the fare to Miss Anat later?"

He thought this as he sat down.

"I want to ask you to help me divine something about Detective Sparrow. Oh, that's the former Detective Hamilton."

Shade spoke in detail about his suspicions about Detective Sparrow, and emphasized that they were just suspicions at the moment:

"That's more or less it. I suspect that Mr. Sparrow Hamilton is actually a senior spy of Kasenric. Although he is dead, there is a high probability that his identity will not have any impact on me, but there is always something wrong. Don’t worry, that’s why I want you to help me divine the identity of Mr. Sparrow.”

The girl with purple eyes listened patiently and frowned when she heard the word spy:

"Although ordinary people do not have access to ring sorcerers, the kingdom's intelligence agencies, such as Delarion's MI6 or Carsonric's Gray Gloves, will hire ring sorcerers to perform counter-divination, but generally speaking they will not Very strong, after all, diviners are very rare."

Miss Anat said slightly proudly, and then stretched out her hand to Shade:

"I can give it a try. Do you have any of the detective's personal belongings? No need for a corpse, just items that he often uses."

"some."

Shade took out the former detective's notebook. This notebook contains daily diaries that are unknown whether they are true or false. It is considered the most suitable personal item.

"Wait a mininute."

Miss Anat unbuttoned the top button of the collar of the white shirt under her coat, then took off the butterfly-shaped hair ornament on her head and let Shade hold it first. After touching it, the sound in my ears immediately reminded me that it was a relic.

"The whispering element of the relics will affect the results of divination, so generally no relics are carried during divination."

The fortune teller said, reaching his hands behind his head, briefly arranging his short brown hair, and simply tied it with a bracelet decorated with small purple crystals. The sleeves were pulled up slightly, exposing a small part of her white arms, and then she put the diary on her legs covered by the skirt.

"Will it be troublesome?"

Shade asked curiously.

"It's very simple. He's just an ordinary person, and it's just a general divination of his past, so there is no need for equipment such as a crystal ball. Sparrow Hamilton is just an ordinary person, and he is not someone outside of destiny like you. Divination is like this I am still very confident.”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes solemnly, folded her hands together and pressed them on the notebook. At a certain moment, Shade clearly saw her in front of him, but felt that Miss Anat was not here. After this illusion, there was no sound or light effect, but the indescribable temperament of the fortune teller's body changed, becoming deeper, more mysterious, and more calm.

She opened her eyes, and Shade saw a flash of purple light in her eyes.

"Ordinary fortune tellers shouldn't be able to make their eyes shine, right?"

He thought in surprise, but didn't ask any more questions.

The fortune teller said hesitantly:

"There is indeed a problem. The first thing that can be determined is that these are indeed ordinary people. His hometown is in the United Kingdom of Kasenlik. Most of the observations of the fuzzy past can be seen through the fog, but from the army In the few years after being recruited, nothing happened. The very effective but poor anti-divination method is indeed like the style of the ring wizards hired by the Gray Gloves."

MI6 is the most mysterious intelligence agency in the Kingdom of Delarion, but it is also an organization that most people on the streets have heard of. The name of the Sixth Office is very similar to that of an agency in Shade's hometown, and their functions are also very similar. They are directly responsible to the Cavendish royal family in Delarion, and are responsible for the intelligence penetration of Carsonric, as well as domestic spies. Organizational inspection.

The similar intelligence agency of the United Kingdom of Carsonlik is called the "Grey Gloves". It is also very mysterious to the public, but almost everyone who reads newspapers has heard of it once or twice.

"So what are the chances that Sparrow is a spy?"

Shade returned Miss Anat's butterfly hair accessory.

"More than 80%, I have encountered similar situations before. Combined with your guess, it is basically certain that he is a spy."

Shade took a deep breath, and now he finally understood the secret.

Fortunately, Detective Sparrow had plenty of time to deal with his funeral affairs before his death. It seems that he has dealt with all the hidden dangers about himself, and he just needs to complete the last contact with his superior.

Therefore, Xia De does not have to worry about the impact that the identity of foreign spies will have on him. As long as he burned the letter in September, the secret would have nothing to do with him.

"It turns out that he is a spy, so it can be explained that he happened to buy the house in Saint Teresa Square. Detective, although we are ring magicians, we can't underestimate ordinary people with guns. High ring warlocks are not afraid of bullets, but you are sure Afraid. So, you can continue to pursue the matter of Sparrow Hamilton, and you may make interesting discoveries, but you must be careful not to get involved too deeply in political matters..."

Miss Anat was speechless:

"It's very troublesome."

"I understand, I just want to know who he is. After all, he is also a benefactor to me."

Shade said, a little melancholy and a little happy:

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"It's just a trivial matter. I can't predict your affairs, at least I can't do it without paying the price. Only a high-level warlock can see the fate of a person like you. But it's just an ordinary person's words, it's just a trivial matter. Speaking of which, you want to return Home, or should we go to the Black Raven Library first?"

Shade looked out of the car window, the sky was still very bright:

"Take me home first. I'll change clothes first and get a mask. The fare..."

"Not so polite."

Miss Anat waved her hand and followed Shade to look outside. Roads were being built nearby, and horse-drawn carriages were queuing up to pass through the narrow construction area. This seemed to be the routine maintenance of underground steam pipes by the Tobesk municipal department in the summer. The afternoon sun shone through the fog on the face of the girl with purple eyes. She used her hands to Holding his face, he tilted his head and looked at the neighborhood where the carriage passed:

“These are small things compared to what we have to do.”

After returning home, I greeted the cat who looked like he had just finished his nap, then changed into very ordinary clothes, found a mask and put it on before setting off. Because of his work, Detective Sparrow placed many items used to disguise his identity in the room on the second floor, so Shade didn't have to spend money to buy them.

The main entrance of the Black Raven Library is on the avenue facing the street. If you are an ordinary guest, of course you have to enter through the main entrance, and the address Miss Anat gave is the entrance to the side entrance.

There are multiple exits in the alleyway extending in all directions near the side door. After arriving nearby, Shade walked around twice to familiarize himself with the nearby terrain. Then he got into the alley, put on his mask, put on his coat and vest, and walked towards the side door of the library.
