[Thunderbolt MIT] Zhanqian 'Qi' after

Count Durand's wedding was grand and spread throughout the city.He will marry a commoner lady.That lady was beautiful, generous, and noble, and the various banquets she attended with the earl before the marriage made it impossible to tell that she was just a commoner.However, what makes this news even more valuable is this lady—she was married and had a daughter.

With such a noble status as an earl, it is not too much to find a young and beautiful chick. What kind of woman can't he get?However, the Earl took a fancy to this once married woman.Pack away all the young and beautiful female creatures who are around him, and want to have a behavior that will never stop until he marries her.

Of course, everyone is guessing, in fact, that daughter is the seed left by the earl for more than ten years. Otherwise, how could such a noble earl easily accept this cheap daughter?Even though this daughter had nothing to do with the Earl, she was so lucky that she became the Earl's stepdaughter, and she was officially renamed Stella Durand.

On the day of the wedding, security was also very tight.Every invited guest must present an invitation card to enter the venue.The wedding of Earl Durand and that commoner lady was to sign their promise in front of all the dignitaries, a promise to be with them for a lifetime.And this venue is the Earl's home in China.To be more precise, this is a small island isolated by the sea, which belongs to the island under the name of Durand.

The ensemble played the melody perfectly, drifting to every corner.Exquisite furnishings, master-level food, everything you know and don't know, it's all here.

Although James was not the latest, he came relatively late.After greeting his father and some acquaintances, he stood in a corner by himself.Oh, and there is another follower, Huang Huihong.Looking at that with a curious face, meowing at this.He kept sighing, "It's worthy of being an earl, it's amazing~~"

James had already been able to ignore him.The craving for cigarettes broke out, but it was not easy to smoke on this occasion.I can only take a glass of red wine on the waiter's tray and sip lightly to relieve my addiction.

He has a habit of observing others or certain things habitually.For example, the wife of a certain consortium over there, and those secrets between her brother-in-law.As long as you observe carefully, you can see that her aura, gaze, and even desire are all clearly showing...

Of course, he will not say these things without any substantive evidence, and he is too lazy to say them.What are you doing with him...?

"Hey, I heard that Earl Durand's stepdaughter is actually his own daughter~~" Even Huang Huihong, who is always on the front line of the police station's house, knows about the gossip in the city.

James's hand holding the wine glass paused, and he said flatly, "Are you sure you want to talk to me about stepdaughter and biological daughter at this time?"

Huang Huihong opened his mouth blankly, at this moment, the melody of the performance changed in vain.It was Count Durand and his wife, Mesa, coming down the stairs.The spotlight hits them, making them more radiant at the moment.

Ming Durand just said a few words symbolically, and led his wife to be constantly being circled among various guests.After finally finding time, he saw the honorable Earl Durand walking towards him with his father Dr. James.

Pausing in front of him, the Earl greeted with a smile, "Mr. James, I have known you for a long time."

James put down his glass, and shook hands politely, "Count, you are too polite." The two exchanged a few words of politeness.Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw what the lady beside him seemed to have done, and Ming Durand's expression hurt a bit.But he replied with a smile in an instant.

With doting eyes, he looked at his wife.He said helplessly, "He is Mr. James that your daughter often mentions."

Meisha didn't speak, she was seriously examining the man in front of her.With a... mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law (→_→) at first glance... it looks good.

Just as she was about to continue scanning, a maid suddenly bumped down from upstairs.Staggering to the front of the count and his wife, the voice was full of fear, "Master and Madam...it's not good---!!! Miss... Miss, she..."

The count and his wife looked at each other and asked quickly, "How is Miss?!"

"Miss, she's gone-!!!" At this moment, the projection screen that was used to witness the function of this marriage lit up in vain.

A black figure with a voice changer said slowly, "Detective Mr. James, let's play a game." At the beginning, he went straight to the point, and it was obvious that his target was James De others.

commotion, at this moment.Everyone present is a person of status and status, even if there is no loud noise, it still makes people startled for a while.

As if he knew it would turn into this kind of scene, Heiying said calmly, "Everyone, please don't panic, I will not do anything to the distinguished guests present. Because this is a personal grudge between me and the famous detective Mr. James."

For a moment, James' eyes darkened.All information is constantly running through the mind.

Mrs. Meisha took a few steps forward and asked worriedly, "My daughter... what did you do to my daughter?!"

"...she's in my hands."

When Meisha heard this, she almost fainted, but fortunately, Ming Durand beside her supported her.She stared at the screen with red eyes, "Why did you arrest my daughter!" Her voice was choked up, and she was about to cry.

Sombra seemed fearless, "As Earl Durand's daughter, only she is qualified to be my hostage in this game..."

Earl Durand did not have the panic of his wife, but he was also worried.He asked calmly, "What do you want?"

"As I said, this is a personal grievance between me and James. Did you hear that? James. I will give you ten hours to find the hostage. If you find the hostage within ten hours, you will win the match. On the contrary ...I'm the one who won!" "Then as a prize, Miss Durand's life is mine...hahahaha..."

James, who had been silent all this time, spoke for the first time, "Who are you?" I always felt... a strange feeling.

Soi Ying paused for a moment, and then said again, "A person you haven't been able to catch after the deadline."

……

After that, Sombra's image was cut off.

For his own sake, the young lady of the Durand family was hurt.He is indeed to blame.

Mrs. Durand seemed to be holding on to a life-saving straw, begging James, "Please save my daughter..."

"Please." The earl did the same, entrusting his expectations to him.

Dr. James had a calm and solemn face as always, and he patted his son on the shoulder, "I'll take the Earl and the others down to rest first. Let Huihong help you." His eyes swept over him and Huang Huihong behind him.Even though he didn't show it on the surface, he admitted early on that this son had already surpassed himself.

The only regret is that his son is trapped by love~~ Sighing from the bottom of his heart, but there is nothing he can do.Seven years ago, the two father and son seemed like strangers, because he drove his son into despair, caused him to suffer from Meniere's disease, and never had a chance with the police; seven years later, he used his own ability to surpass him. The famous Dr. James, because a woman made him change...

James nodded and watched the father and the earl and his wife leave.

That strange feeling... flashed again and again.Exactly... what is the violation?

No time to think about it, the most important thing right now is to find the hostages.

When the case happened, Huang Huihong, who came with Dr. James, had already left behind his immature side.With a serious face, he automatically and consciously went to find out all the relevant personnel to make notes.

The ancient clock tower made a dull sound "dong", which heralded... the game had begun.

Called the police, but was told that the connection could not be made.Not only calling the police, but even contacting the outside world... is not allowed.In other words, they...all of them were trapped on this island.

At this time, we can only rely on James and Huang Huihong.

……

Everyone's transcripts sounded okay, and all the monitoring at the venue investigated, and there was no clue at all.In this way, the prisoner must be very aware of the structure here.Able to avoid all monitoring heads to commit crimes...

Then this prisoner may be someone who is familiar with the venue... His fingers tapped on the table, and everything that was remembered kept rushing through James' mind.

There are a total of hundreds of people in the venue, and I don't know how much time it will take to ask one by one.There are a total of five most suspected or key characters.Earl Durand; his wife—May; the maid who took care of the young lady; the old housekeeper who was responsible for recording the entry and exit of people; the last one... was the captain who was responsible for leading the guests across the sea.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is the exact time when Missy disappeared.

The maid who was called to the scene of the disappearance described what she saw or heard to James De, who was constantly observing the room without letting go of any clues.

[At about 11:45 in the morning, I once brought lunch to the eldest lady...] There was indeed leftover food on the table.

[At that time, the eldest lady complained to her that her favorite dress didn't fit well...] ​​Walking to the dressing room next to the bedroom, all the dresses were thrown aside.

【…】

Neither the windows nor the door showed signs of being pried, which means that the prisoner has verified his own thoughts, and the prisoner is familiar with everything here.

"?" His eyes swept over the dressing table, where messy cosmetics were piled up on the table.Picking up a bottle of glycerin, brushing over the corned paper and glue placed in a corner, he asked, "Does your young lady learn special makeup?"

The maid bowed her head and replied respectfully, "Yes. Before returning to China, the eldest lady learned special makeup in American schools."

Putting down the bottle of glycerin, James continued to scan everything in the bedroom, walking involuntarily.Maybe he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he accidentally knocked down the jewelry box on the dressing table.

Before he squatted down to clean up, the maid had already stepped in front of him to clean up.

James, "Sorry."

The maid shook her head, "It's what I should do." She continued to tidy up without stopping.

James De stood in front of him, looking down at her who was kneeling at the moment.His gaze swept over lightly, and a weird smile was quietly evoked.
