"Bodivia only developed in the past hundred years or so," Vicente smiled and said to Agnes: "Those forces are basically related to the development of Bodivia."
"Lord Osvaldo, who originally funded Bernie Ste, is the person you asked me about, Miss Boethia. His grandfather was originally the president of the Bodivian Blacksmith Guild. After purchasing a huge amount of money, After giving birth, she successfully bought the fiefdom from the impoverished Lord Dauphin and obtained the title of 'Lord'."
Agnes has just asked Vicente about the identity of Bernie, or the man behind the Brotherhood.
"If I remember correctly, the king just signed a decree outlawing the guild system last month. If Lord Osvaldo started as a guild president, he should not be too busy now."
Vicente looked at Agnes with a smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I heard that Lord Osvaldo has been attending various banquets frequently this year."
Agnes nodded and said nothing.
"Lord Osvaldo actually went to Newlin Manor yesterday." Vicente added aloud.
Agnes raised her head and asked: "Is this Lord one of your reasons for going to Newlyn Manor?"
Vicente spread his hands and said: "No, but it's quite a coincidence. I received a commission from the Lord and Lady a long time ago, and I have a certain impression of this Lord. And I happened to see him on the dance floor yesterday. he."
"I remember you once said that eight people left the dance floor at yesterday's ball. Was this Lord one of the eight people?" Agnes asked.
Vicente shook his head and said, "No, but he was seriously injured."
Agnes nodded slowly, looking at the milk flowers slowly spreading in the cup, without saying anything, with some thoughts in her eyes.
Vicente looked at Agnes for a long time and said with some apology: "I'm sorry, Miss Boethia, this morning..."
Agnes raised her head, smiled and shrugged, and said, "I understand that as a detective, it is normal to have strong curiosity. You just want to test me."
"So, was it you I saw last night? Miss Boethia?" Vicente asked, looking closely at Agnes.
Agnes stared at Vicente and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
...
"To be able to cause such marks... the murderer probably has a knife in his hand." Aiden walked around the room, turned back to the ladder, and checked the ladder again.
"It seems like nothing unusual can be found here." Joey turned back and said, "We may need to check the list of people who came to this room last night."
"This is the only way," Aiden said with a frown: "But last night not only was an underground trade fair for ordinary people held here, but also a gathering of extraordinary people. I'm afraid we will find out a lot of problems. It may not be easy for people to tell who the real murderer is."
"Maybe I can try divination." Joey turned to look at Wentz with a questioning look.
Wentz shook his head slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the place of the explosion first."
...
"Miss Boethia, you may not know that when you stand on the dance floor, you look as bright as a star." Vicente smiled and looked at Agnes and said.
Agnes raised her eyebrows and said, "Really? Thank you for your compliment, M. Poirot."
"And because of my professionalism, I happen to have a good ability to identify others." Vicente smiled somewhat complacently and said to Agnes: "Even if you wear a mask on your face when you are on the dance floor, the Your appearance is also very different, but I can still recognize you, both in terms of body shape and temperament."
"Of course, you shouldn't have specifically disguised your identity." Vicent thought for a moment and then added.
"So, what do you want to ask, M. Poirot?" Agnes turned slightly sideways, supporting the side of her head with her left hand, and asked softly.
"I want to know," Vicente couldn't help but gulp before continuing, "whether leaving the dance floor with you in the middle of last night has something to do with the Extraordinary."
Agnes couldn't help laughing and nodded.
"But how do you know about the existence of 'Extraordinary', eh? Mr. Poirot? As far as I know, most ordinary people are skeptical about the existence of mystery, or forces beyond nature." Ange Nisi asked lazily.
"I..." Vicente hesitated for a long time before he said, "It's a commission I took over a few years ago."
"The employer was a couple who had recently moved into a manor, but there were always strange things happening in that manor."
After speaking, Vicente no longer hesitated and said smoothly: "They entrusted me to investigate the reasons for these strange things happening in the manor."
"I investigated for several days, but still couldn't figure out the problem, so the couple hired a well-known psychic here. The psychic quickly solved the problem in the manor. She was a young woman. "
"I was not convinced because that couple entrusted it to someone else, so the psychic allowed me to see the evil spirits in the manor with my own eyes, and then told me about the existence of extraordinary beings."
Such a performance does not look like an official Beyonder. Is he a member of the Spiritual Religion? How did she become a "psychic" by doing this, or did she want to develop Vicente into a follower of the Spiritual Religion? Agnes frowned and asked aloud: "Is that 'psychic' still here?"
Vicente smiled and shook his head and said, "That night when I got home, someone from the police department came to me and said that the 'psychic' was a wanted criminal."
"So it turns out that the church didn't go further and ask you more questions?" Agnes asked.
"It was true that someone guarded me for a period of time, but she never appeared again. I heard that she escaped. After the church confirmed this and asked me to sign a confidentiality agreement, it no longer affected my normal life." Wei. Center said.
"Then you are lucky." Agnes looked at Vicente and said with a hint of ridicule: "Is this why you met the broken walking corpse and could still talk to him?"
Vicente smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I never thought that after a few years, I would encounter extraordinary events again."
“However, since the cargo delivered by the Silver Rose contains extraordinary items, and they are transporting goods from the sea for Bonnar, it is inevitable that extraordinary items will be traded in the underground trade fair he holds. "Vicente couldn't help but said suddenly with some thoughts.
