"That's enough. If a horribly expensive postman like you really works hard, I can't stand it. Let's get back to the point. Do I have any letters again?"
"Of course, and it's an urgent matter." Beverly said this, then she took out an envelope and handed it to Dorothy. After Dorothy took it, Beverly looked at Dorothy again, then spoke again.
"Miss Meshhoshho, you seem to have not returned home last night. It just so happens that something important involving the Despenser royal family seemed to have happened in the South City last night. Could it be that you..."
"Don't make any assumptions...Is it not my fault? I just went to New Year's Eve with my family. Don't make random guesses." Dorothy rolled her eyes at Beverly and said that. Beverly was a little surprised when she heard what Dorothy said.
"You still have family members who can celebrate the New Year together..."
"Of course. Is this surprising?"
"A little... Generally, Extraordinary people like you who are deeply involved in the secret world have more or less mental problems. The deeper you go on this Extraordinary Road, the more difficult it is to maintain normal human emotions and values. If you hadn't said that you still had the mind to celebrate the New Year with your family, I would have thought you were a madman who only knew how to study the secrets of the Extraordinary."
Beverly said this to Dorothy, then waved her hand and turned to say goodbye.
"Anyway, I've seen a lot of crazy people like that, but you're rare, and I like you a little more. I hope you won't be driven crazy by some weird stuff in the future."
Beverly finished speaking, then walked away leisurely with her hands behind her back. Dorothy stood there and thought about what Beverly had just said. She felt that it did make some sense. In this extraordinary world with all kinds of perverted spiritual accumulation methods and distorted poison identification, it was indeed a difficult thing to stick to human nature. Perhaps this was the reason why all kinds of evil societies emerged in an endless stream and there were so many cultists.
If Dorothy didn't have the "reading method" and poison recognition immunity brought by the system, her mind would definitely not be normal after being in the secret world for a long time.
After thinking this in her mind, Dorothy took the envelope given by Beverly and walked into the house, then sat on the sofa and opened it. After a few casual glances, Dorothy finished reading the contents of the letter.
This letter was written to Detective Ed, and the writer was none other than the anti-traitor team leader of the Security Bureau, a royal knight named Misha.
Misha's purpose of sending the letter at this time must be none other than to inquire about the situation in Bishop's Square. They seem to have confirmed that the attack was done by the Nest of Eight Peaks, and now Misha wants to ask Detective Ed some urgent questions. After all, in Misha's eyes, there must be a traitor within the Eight Peaks, the organization to which Detective Ed belongs, so maybe the traitor knows some key information about this incident from the Eight Peaks.
Besides, Misha had just revealed relevant information about Duke Barrett to Ed not long ago. Now Duke Barrett was killed. Misha must ask about the relevant situation and confirm whether the organization Ed belonged to had any connection with this incident. So Misha once again invited Ed to meet in person to discuss things in this letter.
After reading the letter, Dorothy touched her chin with interest and couldn't help thinking.
"Oh... That's perfect. I also want to know some of the official current situation. And if you guys actively invite me to go there and provide you with information... I should be able to ask for some compensation. It just so happens that I'm short of spiritual power right now, so it's not too much to pass on the secret to a few people."
After thinking this in her mind, Dorothy immediately put the letter aside, then took out a feather pen and an envelope from the magic box, injected spirituality into them, and began to write the letter on them.
In the letter, Dorothy agreed to meet Misha at the old place at 12 o'clock that morning, and also offered some small rewards for the cost of the intelligence.
"Huh...it looks like this year will be a busy year."
Dorothy exclaimed after writing the letter on the envelope, and then she got up and went out to find her personal "hard-working" postman.
…
Time flies, and it flies away in just one night.
The winter sun shone on the spire of the cathedral. Amid the steady sound of the bells, countless citizens crossed the wide square and came to the Cathedral of the Holy Savior to pray for the new year.
Although it was the second day of the year, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity was still bustling with the benches almost full of citizens. Many people who had no seats were standing or kneeling at the altar of the Three Saints, praying intently. At this time, in a corner of the spacious cathedral, far away from the crowd, two figures were standing here. They were Ed in a dark windbreaker and Misha in a servant's outfit with obvious dark circles under her eyes.
"It's nice to see you again, Miss Misha. You don't look very well. Excuse me, as a lady, you should pay more attention to getting enough sleep. This is the key to beauty."
Lifting his short hat, Ed looked at Misha politely and spoke, while Misha, who looked tired, chuckled and spoke.
"Heh... Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Detective... Although I don't know where you got these theories from, I obviously don't need them. Let's get straight to the point. First of all, I want to confirm that the case that happened in the South City Square that night was the work of Ba Jian, right..."
"Yes, it was those blood-sucking spiders who did it. I'm glad you didn't put the blame on us, Ms. Misha. After all, I got the information about Duke Barrett from you last year."
Listening to Misha's words, Ed shrugged and said, while Misha with dark circles under her eyes continued to speak.
"Among the survivors at the scene, some had contact with the vampires who tried to sneak in, and even had a brief confrontation. Based on their testimonies, we almost confirmed from the beginning that the Eight-pointed Nest was the mastermind of this incident, but we still have a lot of details to figure out. Isn't there a traitor in your Eight-pointed Nest? Have you obtained any important information from that traitor?
"For example... who was the killer who attacked and stabbed her in the end?"
…
Wow, I should take a few days off for the New Year, so I'll notify you in advance.
