Edoma did not kill Matthew Charteris in the end, Arthur guessed it was because of Professor Bell.
Sure enough, I heard her say angrily: "If they hadn't been using my father's safety, I would have killed this scum long ago."
"Can you tell me the whole story?"
Although Arthur had some guesses, the current situation was actually somewhat beyond his expectation.
"I was caught by them that day and locked up in a small building. Later I heard that they actually wanted my father's poppy refining technology. Because I have been doing experiments with my father since I was a child, I completely mastered the whole step. Because I was still young at the time and didn’t understand much, so I took the initiative to tell those people this, hoping that they would let me go home early.”
What Edoma said is basically the same as Arthur and Professor Bell's guesses.
"But I didn't expect that those who got the experimental results were very disappointed. At that time, some people suggested killing me. But then one of them said that talents like me can be trained as spies. Not only did they threaten me, but they also Threatening my father's life, I finally agreed to them."
It is true that spies need all kinds of knowledge, otherwise it will definitely not work if you steal information and cannot even understand what is written.
Arthur hurriedly asked: "The person you are talking about cannot be Joey Harlin, right?"
"It's him!"
When it comes to Joey Harlin, Edoma can't help gritting her teeth.
It was obvious that her hatred for Joey Harlin had reached an extreme level.
"Then you hid in Baron Locke's house. What mission were you performing?"
Now that Edoma had said it, she had no intention of hiding it.
"Indeed, they want to interfere with the succession to the throne."
"What?"
Bond jumped up in surprise.
Arthur waved his hand to tell Bond not to be so excited.
"Then what's the use of Baron Locke?"
From Arthur's usual contact with Baron Locke, it seemed that this man was not a particularly courageous person.
He and many nobles have rotten souls and only know how to waste money in vain.
"I don't know the details yet. The order from above asked me to control this person."
Bond asked at this time: "Then why did you suddenly kill Director Michel?"
Speaking of this name, Edoma was filled with resentment.
"I was hidden in a building, and this was the guy who met Joey Harlin there. If they hadn't been in cahoots with each other, I wouldn't be where I am now."
After hearing what she said, Arthur thought for a moment and opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
He felt that Edoma might have misunderstood. When Arthur and Michelle talked about the case 13 years ago that day, Michelle recalled that they were in a building.
It was after hearing this that Edoma was restrained from killing Michelle. Arthur felt that this was probably a misunderstanding.
It was Michelle who should have investigated the case that day and got there, but when he met Joey Harlin, he persuaded Michelle to leave based on his connections or the requirements of his position.
However, this incident has always been in his mind. If he could find it, he must have grasped some important clues. But in the end, he was still unable to withstand the pressure and gave up the only hope of rescue for Edoma.
Thinking of this, it seemed that Edoma had not wronged him too much by killing Michelle. In front of Bond, Arthur no longer wanted to expose the matter.
"But what about Orlando Charteris?"
Bond pressed on.
"I originally invited Michelle to a room alone and wanted to poison him with cyanide. Unexpectedly, this boy from the Charteris family entered the room at this time. In order not to arouse suspicion, I left the room first. . I thought that not long after, I heard Michelle calling someone in the room."
This result is exactly the same as Arthur's speculation, "So you went in to see that it was Orlando Charteris who was poisoned to death, and because Michelle knew that you poured the glass of wine, you took the risk to kill him."
"All of this is very good, but why did you suddenly run away? Doesn't this mean that you killed the person?"
"I actually didn't run away. I had a task assigned to me that day and I went to contact him. But when I came back, I received a message from my lawyer saying that I had been exposed."
Arthur sighed, "Yes! I'm afraid the teacher didn't expect that when he asked to investigate the case 13 years ago, he suddenly found your head."
Edoma began to lower his head and remained silent. In fact, if Arthur hadn't come to investigate this time, these incidents might not have happened.
At this time Bond suddenly asked: "What about Leonard? How did he die?"
Edoma raised her head, "It was Joey Harlin himself who used me as bait."
"This damn guy, it was really easy for him to die."
Joey Harlin died here, and Bond still wanted to follow the clues and uproot the entire Harlem and Charteris families.
Arthur didn't think it was that easy. These centuries-old families all had a profound heritage.
"Did Leonard discover something?"
Edoma shook her head. She was just an assassin with some power. They might tell her these things.
"Then your current mission is to assassinate Alice and his wife?"
This time Edoma nodded, and Bond was even more confused, "Do they want Britain and Germany to go to war?"
Bond didn't understand, but Arthur saw it very clearly, "They don't want Britain to go to war, but they want Britain to be in chaos."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. After chaos breaks out, the power of their secret police will increase, and all kinds of illegal things will be able to flow in and out more conveniently."
"You want to start a war just for your own selfish desires?"
Bond was still in disbelief.
Arthur knew, however, that many apparent coincidences were intentional.
And there is the shadow of the devil behind it. It can also be said that these people are just the devil's spokesmen.
"Now what?"
Bond asks the soul question again.
Arthur looked at Edoma and said, "Do you want to see the teacher?"
Through her trembling shoulders, Arthur could see that she missed her father, but in the end she still shook her head.
Arthur could probably understand her feelings. A daughter he had loved so much since childhood had now become a murderous spy.
Although all this was not of her own free will, she probably felt that she was too embarrassed to see her father again.
Moreover, when the father and daughter meet, it means that the case 13 years ago will be made public. I wonder how the Charteris family will plot against the father and daughter behind their backs.
"In this case, you might as well help James."
As he said that, he looked at Bond, "I believe MI6 would really like you to join us."
Bond clapped his hands and said, "That's right, let's catch these moths together for the country."
"Okay, no problem, I promise you."
Now that Edoma has been caught, the organization's principles will also silence her, so she has no other way out now.
What's more, by cooperating with MI6, you still have the opportunity to avenge yourself.
Seeing Bond getting excited again, Arthur quickly poured cold water on him again.
"Don't be too happy first. This case is almost as big as the sky. If you continue to deal with it like this, the best outcome for you will be Leonard."
After hearing this, Bond and Edoma also changed their expressions.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Arthur took a long drag on his pipe, thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "When this case reaches this level, I can only focus on the small ones. The first thing is to find the evidence of Matthew Charteris. Everything was put on him."
"Can he withstand such a big case?"
Although Edoma wanted to bring disaster to Matthew Charteris, she also felt that doing so seemed unrealistic.
"You just need to catch him, bring him back to MI6, and then put all the charges on him."
At this moment, Bond also felt that Arthur's idea was a bit unreliable.
"Even if we at MI6 capture someone, if the secret police come and want him, we still have to send him back to Scotland Yard."
Arthur snapped his fingers, "Then he's dead."
Bond and Edoma still didn't understand what Arthur meant. At this time, Olivia, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly said: "Arthur means that this thing is so big that it can reach the sky, so there will definitely be someone in the secret police." Very nervous, and now you have given him another person to use as a jackpot. These people will ruthlessly prove his crime. And just in case, this professor named Nasius Charteris , I probably won’t survive the day of being interrogated.”
After hearing Olivia's explanation, Arthur hurriedly stretched out his thumb and gave his sweetheart a like.
At this time, Bond and Edoma finally understood. They just felt that the wisdom of these two people really could not be measured by ordinary people.
Arthur continued: "That's not all. I believe that people from the Harlem and Charteris families will slowly be eliminated from the ranks of the secret police."
There is no need for Arthur to explain this. Bond and Edoma know very well that agents like them want to eliminate the root cause and will never leave any future troubles for themselves.
Of course, the members of these two families may not be killed by them, but they certainly cannot hang out among the secret police.
Only now did Arthur suddenly remember and asked Edoma: "Do you have an accomplice in the manor?"
At this time, Edoma no longer needed to hide anything, "There is also a garden craftsman, but he is just a low-level second-level spy."
Arthur held the pipe and looked up at the ceiling, "That's not necessarily true."
"Is there anything wrong?"
Bond asked nervously when he saw Arthur's appearance.
Arthur pointed at Edoma, "Since you disobeyed the order privately last time, your superiors will definitely send someone to monitor you. I thought it was the maid before, but through contact, I found that her level is not as good as yours. Then only the craftsman is left.”
