Chapter 403: Clues
Somewhere near the Feiteng Theater in the East City of Tivian.
At noon, in an upscale bar along the street, Adele, wearing sunglasses and a stylish wide-brimmed hat, and after a simple transformation, was sitting in a private box along the street in a slim dress. On the table was an open magazine and a small plate of exquisitely presented dessert cake. In Adele's hand, there was a small glass of red wine.
"Oh my... Another lover has come to me..." Adele murmured softly, staring at the words appearing on the pages of the magazine in front of her and taking a sip of the red wine in the glass in her hand.
"I remember that it hasn't been long since you came to me for help last time, and now something bad has happened again. The probability of this detective lady getting into trouble is really quite high..."
Adele thought so in her heart. After thinking for a while, she took out a small pen from the small bag beside her and wrote on the page of the magazine.
"Of course I can help you, but since it seems like I've been helping you a lot recently, whether it's helping you smuggle supplies or giving you the teacher's memories... Haven't you ever considered giving me something in return? Miss Detective..."
Adele finished writing on the magazine, and then waited for the other party's reply with a smile on her face. After a while, clear and neat handwriting appeared in front of Adele again.
"Of course there can be rewards. I have a lot of information about the faith of the Goddess of Fertility. This is related to your teacher and your extraordinary path. It may be of some help to your exploration and advancement. If you need it, I can give you all this information.
"Of course, all this information can identify poisons. However, our association has a secret method that can effectively resist poisons. I can apply to the higher-ups to pass this secret method on to you. With this secret method, you can easily read various secrets that can identify poisons and quickly learn all kinds of extraordinary knowledge."
Such words appeared on the text sheet in front of Adele. After seeing them, Adele thought about them for a moment with interest, took a bite of the cake on the plate, and then continued to write.
"The faith information of the goddess of abundance and the secret method of resisting poison... This is indeed a very attractive reward for me, but such a secret method must be very precious to your company. You just promised it to me directly. Are you sure you can convince the upper echelons of your company to give this secret method to outsiders?" Adele wrote this. Her meaning was very simple. Can a Rosicrucian cadre like Dorothy convince the upper echelons of Rosicrucian? If she can't convince them, these secret methods can't be promised to others as rewards.
"Don't worry, now that I've made this promise, I can certainly convince the higher-ups. You don't need to worry about this." In the hotel far away, Dorothy picked up a pen and quickly wrote to Adele, thinking that in essence, she was the top and middle-level cadres of the Rosicrucian order, so whatever she said would be the truth.
In the bar, Adele looked at the new sentences written by Dorothy in the magazine, her eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and then she continued writing.
"I see... Since you, Miss Detective, have promised me this, it would be a bit unkind of me to have any more questions. Okay, I promise to help you. Unfortunately... if you can't come up with any reward right away, I have specially prepared some other special repayment methods for you..."
Adele wrote on the page in front of her, and a moment after she wrote the text, Dorothy's confused words appeared on the paper.
"Special repayment method? What is that?"
"Nothing. If you don't have any reward in the future, we can discuss this issue again. The key point now is that you want me to help you with something. You want me to help you find a few foreigners in Dongcheng District, right?"
Adele brushed aside Dorothy's question and went on to write in the magazine, and a short while later Dorothy responded by writing in a book.
"Yes, they are a few people from North Wufei. They should have just arrived in Tivian not long ago. Then they broke into a wealthy family in Yinlan District last night and kidnapped someone. The only way to come to Tivian from North Wu is by sea, so they must have been active in the port of Dongcheng District. Yinlan District is also Dongcheng District, and you have a lot of influence in Dongcheng District, so I thought of asking you to help a little."
Dorothy wrote this, and then she wrote the clues inferred from Boyle Mansion one by one on the text. After reading this series of characteristics summarized by Dorothy, Adele nodded slightly and wrote.
"A few Beiwusha masters... Although there are many foreigners in Dongcheng, it is relatively rare for them to come from Beiwusha. The clues you gave are quite sufficient. If they are all accurate, then with my power, it should not be a problem to find clues about these people."
"In that case, I'll leave it to you. I've also mobilized some police forces to help you find the person. If they have any clues, I'll notify you immediately. Please be as quick as possible. Our goal is to save people."
Dorothy wrote this solemnly in the magazine, and soon she got a response from Adele.
"Of course, I will do it as soon as possible. I will inform you immediately after I get the news. Remember to keep in touch, Miss Detective." In the bar, Adele put away her pen after writing this paragraph, then closed the magazine, and after drinking the red wine in the glass, she put the magazine and pen into her bag, then got up and left the private room.
…
Ivig, Adria.
On the sofa of a hotel suite beside the church square, Dorothy couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief after reading Adele's last reply in the "Wenhai Navigation Journal". With Adele's help, she felt much more at ease.
The East City District where Adele and Divian live can be said to be a big local snake. Behind the countless gangs there are the Scarlet Hearts controlled by her. Adele's influence has spread to all walks of life in East City District with the help of the gangs. If you want to find someone in East City District, then you can't go wrong by asking Adele.
On the other hand, Dorothy also asked Greg to mobilize some police forces in the East City District to search for the group of people. With the joint efforts of both the black and white forces in Dongtivian, Dorothy didn't believe that they would not be able to find five foreigners with such obvious characteristics.
"In a sense, I can be considered to have connections with both the black and white worlds..."
Sitting on the sofa in the suite, Dorothy thought to herself that now she was not worried about not being able to find those people. Instead, she was more worried about what would happen to Nunot before she found them.
This group of people kidnapped Nunott's father for the golden scepter and the method to open the secret room of Boyle's house. After they captured Nunott, they might torture him to extract a confession. However, considering Nunott's loyalty to Davis, he would not confess under normal torture, so the interrogation should be able to be delayed for a long time.
But this group of people are not just simple robbers, they are the extraordinary people of "Silence". For the extraordinary people of "Silence", if they want to know a person's hidden secrets, they don't need to go through the trouble of torture. It is easier to ask the soul directly than to ask the person.
Yes, what Dorothy is worried about now is that Nunot was killed directly and then his soul was summoned. If the group of treasure robbers chose this efficient method, it might be too late now. Nunot might be dead, and the robbers would have learned the secret of the Boyle family from Nunot's soul.
For Dorothy, this was the worst possible outcome, because once Nunot was dead, it would be difficult to deal with the remaining notes of Davis.
