Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

After sending Mr. Hunter away, Joyce waited for MI9 to come to the door while he perfected his plan.

The military will not be indifferent to the death of a major, and Major General Bright will only be more urgent about it. Although he has no right to investigate the matter, it is normal to exert influence on MI9.

However, Joyce did not wait for the investigators to come to the door until the crimson moon took the place of the sun.

This surprised him.

Wasn't Diego's disappearance discovered by MI9? Do intelligence organizations also have weekends off?

Even if that's the case, it's impossible for Bright to be unaware. He knows that I'm home safely, and Diego has no news. How could he not have doubts?

A Sequence Seven Beyonder is not a cabbage on the side of the road. If you say death, you will die... Bright may not think that I can kill Diego, but he will definitely think that there is a helper behind me, at least with strong combat power The mid-sequence Extraordinary... He might even guess whether "William's list" might be in the hands of this trumped-up helper...

This is Joyce's thinking simulation based on the enemy's position. It is not 100% accurate, but it is also in line with the logic of the characters.

Sure enough, the next morning, he waited for MI9 investigators, but the presiding officer was an unexpected candidate.

Thomas!

How could it be Thomas... Joyce didn't understand, it was impossible for Bright to not know the relationship between the two of us. Could it be that he was afraid and planned to make big things into small things?

Thomas was wearing an MI9 captain's uniform, sitting calmly in the chair, with deep eyes, staring at Joyce and Sophia behind him.

Behind him stood an unfamiliar second lieutenant officer with a serious expression, as if suppressing something:

"Baron Best, we only want to ask you a question."

"Sofia can supplement my statement, she knows things about Saturday night very well." Joyce politely replied to his request.

The second lieutenant wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Thomas raising his hand: "How did you know I was going to ask about Saturday night?"

Joyce showed a surprised expression: "Aren't you here to investigate my assassination case?"

"Assassination?" Thomas asked calmly.

"Saturday night, leaving General Gordon's banquet, I was attacked by assassins on the way home, and my coachman died..."

Joyce did not tell the story completely, but stopped halfway and asked with a frown:

"I've already called the police, aren't you here to assist in the investigation?"

It was obvious that Thomas wanted to say something, but he quickly held back: "No."

"I thought the Bayam Police Department had submitted the case to MI9!" Joyce muttered first, and then asked:

"Then what are you doing?"

Thomas took out his notebook and said in an official tone:

"Baron Best, do you know Diego? He also attended General Gordon's dinner."

"Diago..." Joyce's eyes were empty, and he recalled seriously for a while: "Oh, I remember..."

"He was wearing an MI9 major's uniform that night, and there was a battle scar under his left eye. We chatted a few words... In fact, I chatted a few words with most of the people who attended the dinner."

"Yes, I heard that you were one of the two most popular people at that dinner party," Thomas said while recording.

Joyce asked curiously, "Two...who is the other?"

"A lady named Ianna." Thomas replied simply.

Well, she is very popular... Joyce muttered, and then asked, "How did you know?"

Thomas said without raising his head: "Baron Best, you are not the first person I asked."

Joyce knew it in his heart, but asked curiously, "What happened? The atmosphere of the dinner party was very lively, and nothing happened."

"The accident happened after the dinner party," Thomas said in a deep voice, "Major Diego died in the basement of an unowned house."

"Dead!" Joyce made no secret of his surprise: "A major just died! Has the situation in Bayam been so bad?"

Afterwards, he sighed and said with emotion: "It seems that I am relatively lucky. Although I was assassinated, at least I didn't lose my life."

Thomas continued, "Did your assassination take place at the same time?"

"Yes, after the dinner," Joyce replied.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

"Alas..." Joyce sighed, re-narrated his story, and then added: "The Bayam Police Department should have the latest progress. If you want to know more, you can check their information."

"Yes." Thomas nodded. "Besides the assassination, did you go anywhere else on Saturday night?"

"No." Joyce denied.

"If I remember correctly, you said that the driver died during the assassination, so no one could prove it for you?" Thomas asked tactfully.

"There is no problem with logic..." Joyce emphasized: "However, what I said is the truth."

"Okay, my inquiry is over." Thomas closed the notebook in his hand, got up to leave, and warned before leaving:

"The assassination you encountered may be related to Major Diego's death, and the perpetrator may have a next move. You must ensure your own safety."

"I will." Joyce agreed, sending Thomas and the second lieutenant out of the parlour.

……

"Mr. Baron, that second lieutenant is very dissatisfied with you." Sophia quit the "audience" state and stated softly.

Joyce said "um", he could see that, the second lieutenant was not good at concealing his emotions...

"Mr. Thomas seems to be deliberately controlling himself. UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn't have any mood swings during the whole process, only..."

"Only what?" Joyce asked.

"Only when you said 'A major died like this! Has the situation in Bayam been so bad?' Mr. Thomas' hand paused, as if stimulated. "Sophia frowned and said hesitantly.

Is there anything wrong with this sentence?

The major died and the baron was assassinated. It's normal to feel that the situation is bad...

Wait, "situation"...

Joyce turned his thoughts to the word...

On Friday, Thomas came to remind himself that "the situation is serious, be careful."

As a result, on Saturday night, Diego died and I was assassinated.

I mentioned Bayam's situation just now. In Thomas's eyes, will this constitute a hint and a reminder... With his love of poetry and drama, it's not impossible to think so...

Furthermore, Diego considered himself an "audience", proving that the main material of the "audience" was sold to me through the "balance"... And after that, Thomas came to remind, whether it proved that he knew that Diego was targeting I…

And we were both assassinated the same night, one dead and one alive...

Thomas may have guessed something, but he took the initiative to apply to ask me, but he didn't talk about these issues. Maybe, he was on his side?

However, even if he guessed the truth, there would be no evidence. Bright, who knew the truth, would not dare to openly target me, otherwise the matter would be made public. A major secretly kidnapped a baron, and no one could take the responsibility. .

I'm no longer the chess piece I used to be...
