After all, the other party did not cause any great losses to the church in the end. The key was that Emanuel's crown was finally captured, and he also captured a Chi Cheng and wiped out a treasure-stealing society. In a sense, it was quite rewarding. For Sheng Linshan, in a sense, he was not only innocent but also meritorious. Although he was used, he was still extremely unhappy.
'Now that I think about it, my sudden stay in Adelia can be said to be the result of a combination of coincidences, but if there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence. Because of Xia Shu's letter, I cancelled my original plan and decided to stay in Adelia for half a day. Later, because of the advance notice from Thief K, I stayed in Xia Shu for half a day. I originally thought that Thief K's advance notice was sent when I was away. Now it seems that Thief K saw that I was still in Xia Shu, so he sent a special advance notice to keep me. Because he knew that Kabu was coming in the evening, he specially asked me to stay to deal with Kabu.
'There should be no problem with Xia Shu's letter. I have contacted Xia Shu through various means and confirmed that the letter was indeed sent by Elder Aman. Not to mention that the intelligence they gave about the Haiyuan Sect is indeed very important. Xia Shu, an island tribe that has been isolated overseas for hundreds of years and has rarely communicated with the mainland, is unlikely to be connected with a thief like Thief K who roams on luxury cruise ships. If Xia Shu's letter is really to keep me to fight against Kabu, then they could have just kept me until the afternoon or even the evening instead of noon.'
Antonio thought so in his heart. As someone who could speak Xia Shu's language, he had a deep understanding of Xia Shu, his main work target. He knew that the Xia Shu people were xenophobic, and their means of external communication depended on a few sea merchants within their own tribe. As a whole, they had little communication and understanding with the main continent, so it was difficult to link them together with the thief K who had recently made headlines in the newspapers. After all, there was a big difference between a remote islander and a main continent thief.
'So if we rule out Xia Shu's problem, then the key to the matter shifts to the church. The reason why Thief K sent the notice in the morning was because she knew that I had not left Adelia as reported in the newspapers, but was still here waiting for the telegram, so she took this opportunity to send the notice to me. Moreover, knowing that I would only stay in the morning, she specially chose the morning to send it.
'Since we were waiting for the telegram in order to obtain the secret information of the Haiyuan Cult, I did not let the outside world know about my postponement, but Thief K knew about it, which proves that she might have an informant around me.
'This spy could be among my entourage, or in the local church in Adelia, or in the local Hidden Guards or the Knights of the Holy Sacrament in the naval port. Someone in these organizations knows about the extension of my stay. Thief K should have obtained the information about my temporary stay from one of these channels. Later, based on this information, she decided to send a notice letter, and used this notice letter to keep me for another half a day.'
Sitting in his seat, Antonio thought to himself that the pilgrims were not included in the organizations he listed as possible leaks, because these ordinary pilgrims were not qualified to access the secrets he temporarily kept. Even the nun Antonio who delivered the letter to him among the pilgrims did not doubt it.
The reason was simple. The letter Amman sent him was written in Xiashu language, which was a very obscure language that most people could not understand. Antonio learned Xiashu language because he had to take over as Archbishop of Ivige and needed to solve the Xiashu problem with a conciliatory strategy. How could a nun from Putt possibly recognize Xiashu language? She relied on others to translate almost all her communication in Xiashu.
After excluding the nuns and pilgrims, Antonio determined the scope of the leak. At this time, he had already made up his mind. After going back, he informed the senior members of the Deep Secret Guard and jointly launched an internal purge against the local official extraordinary institutions in Adelia. He also wanted to check his own people and the Holy Sacrament Knights. He was determined to pull out the thief K's spies from among them. As long as the thief K's spies were found, he could follow the clues to find more clues about thief K.
"The lunatic...will eventually have to pay the price for his arrogance..."
Looking at the rolling sea outside the window, Anthony murmured in a serious tone.
…
Time flies, the sun sets, the moon rises, and the moon sets. Soon a day has passed, and Adeya once again welcomes a sunny morning.
One day, the citizens of Adelia who lived near the church square quickly discovered something special as soon as they went out. The flash on the top of the Pure Flow Church in the square, which had disappeared for a whole day, suddenly reappeared this morning. Now, the citizens of Adelia once again witnessed the shining glory that symbolizes the entire city. Although the church square is still blocked, the Pure Heart Church is still closed, and the official has not issued any announcement, everyone knows one thing, that is, the lost Emanuel crown has finally returned.
With all the rumors about Thief K all over Adelia, the return of Emanuel's crown was undoubtedly another bombshell in the public opinion field. The discussion enthusiasm of Adelia citizens and tourists was ignited again, and everyone discussed the loss and recovery of Emanuel's crown.
Among the many discussions, various rumors emerged one after another. Some people said that Emmanuelle's crown was returned because the thief K was caught. Some people said that the thief K was not caught, but he gave up the crown during the pursuit to divert the attention of the pursuers. Some people said that the thief K was not caught, and Emmanuelle was not called. The one on the top of the church was actually fake, and it was installed by the authorities for face. Some people even said that Emmanuelle's crown was returned by the thief K because she didn't like it...
Various rumors were circulating in the streets of Adelia, and all of them almost tacitly understood one thing, that is, Thief K had successfully stolen the Emmanuel crown after sending a warning letter... She was an out-and-out legendary thief!
…
In the streets of Adeya, all kinds of rumors about Thief K were flying around. However, Dorothy, who was closely related to Thief K, had no intention of listening to them. She was sitting on the sofa in her room, staring at her palm intently. On the palm of her hand lay a beautiful amethyst pendant with a North Ufrican-style gold border.
This crystal pendant was one of Azam's donations. Yesterday, it was still a colorless crystal pendant without any spiritual traces. But early this morning, it turned into amethyst. With the help of spiritual vision, Dorothy could also see the spiritual light slowly emanating from it.
This is an extraordinary item of "Qi", a divination tool hidden among Azam's donations. It is Azam's capital for making a fortune, his greatest support for establishing the Haisha Society, and the thing that Gabu wants most.
Looking at the pendant, Dorothy roughly knew how to use it. It could be used for pendulum divination. Dorothy could use it to divine some location information about the Star Number Book Society.
…
In Adelyane, various discussions about Thief K were circulating everywhere. Dorothy had no time to care about these things because she had found the divination tool. Nephnesse also had no time to care because she had received an urgent telegram early this morning.
In another high-end hotel in Adelia, Nefnis, who had been staying here for more than a week with the study tour group, was awakened by a knock on the door early in the morning. She rubbed her eyes in a daze and called her roommate Emma to open the door. After calling for a long time without any response, she turned her head and saw that the other party was sleeping soundly. She sat up on the bed helplessly, put on her pajamas and took off her shoes, walked to the door of the room listlessly, opened the door, and then a young hotel waiter appeared in front of her. She looked at Nefnis in front of her and asked in not pure Putin.
"Excuse me, Miss Boyle?"
"Ah, I just...what's going on?"
"Well, you have here an urgent telegram, which was delivered early this morning by the telegraph office, from Puttivio."
As he spoke, the waiter handed Nephnesse a translated telegram. After taking it, Nephnesse shook her head in confusion. She thought about the long-term telegram contact between her and Tivian, and knew that the only person who knew her address here should be her home, so the telegram should be sent from home.
"Is there something wrong at home? Do you need to send an urgent call?"
After opening the envelope, Nephnis looked at the letter in her hand. After staring at it for a while, her eyes widened.
"Grandpa Nunot, he... is missing?!"
