[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Mrs. Doyle took Francis and walked into Kingsman's base under the welcome of Merlin.

Kingsman's base is located in a suburban estate.Compared with the mansion on the surface, the content under the manor is their most important place.

Yes, Kingsman hollowed out an underground space under the manor that is wider than the building above.It was an air-raid shelter dug since the war, and now it has been expanded into an unimaginable underground space, which is also the testimony of Kingsman's accumulation over the past century.

The first thing Mrs. Doyle saw was Kingsman's warehouse looking down through the hanging glass windows.

It is said to be a warehouse, but it is much larger than a warehouse in the traditional sense.It is full of various vehicles, aircraft and other military equipment that are difficult to describe one by one.

The staff below are diligently carrying out repairs, maintenance or other work.Merlin led them through a small passage, and then took the elevator to the upper building area.

From the surface, this is a mansion of a wealthy nobleman.

Mrs. Doyle and Francis were invited upstairs by Merlin.This time, the living room is much more formal, at least it is big enough to hold a formal meeting.

Mrs. Doyle saw that as soon as they entered the door, a girl with a ponytail came up to them and said hello to them.She looked as if she had just graduated from college, and she introduced herself "I'm Lancelot."

What a hero.

When Lancelot raised her head, her eyes were fixed on the ceramic doll in Mrs. Doyle's hand, and there was a certain longing in her eyes.

Mrs. Doyle understood the other person's eyes.She also knew why Kingsman acted quickly this time to ask herself to give feedback on the situation, instead of waiting for everything to settle.So, she suppressed the feeling of reluctance in her body, and put the ceramic doll on the table for everyone to look at together.

"Mrs. Doyle, it's so beautiful." The female agent code-named Lancelot asked, "Where did you order this ceramic doll?"

Mrs. Doyle blinked in surprise, she hadn't thought about how to explain the puppet that accompanied her.However, she didn't panic.

"This is a gift from my husband." Mrs. Doyle pulled out a plausible reason.

"Oh, this is really romantic." The girl was obviously caught in some kind of reverie.But business matters.

"Mrs. Doyle, we found from the photos and video records that the ceramic dolls that appeared in the apartment of the missing person are very similar to your dolls. Therefore, we would like to ask you to identify whether they are from the same hand"

Mrs. Doyle took the photo she handed over, and the video surveillance at that time was playing on the projection beside her.

When he realized that the ceramic doll had a great background, Kingsman's intelligence system quickly operated and collected many famous artists who made ceramic dolls.

However, at least within the scope of the orders found on the surface, there is no connection between the missing rich man and these orders, and no one bought these works and forwarded them to him.

Of course there will be no connection between them.While looking at the records, Mrs. Doyle wondered whether a similar situation had ever happened in the memory of Queen Porcelain.

She remembered that in the story, there was no living person in the country of the Porcelain Queen, and all the citizens were exquisite dolls made of ceramics.Therefore, for her, porcelain dolls are the normal state.But now, porcelain puppets also appeared at the scene of the rich man's disappearance.

what does this mean

She kept thinking and drew a circle on the question to diverge her thinking.

Why at that scene, a living person in good condition disappeared, but a ceramic doll was left behind? It was an exquisite ceramic doll that could be called a work of art.

Mrs. Doyle compared the two porcelain dolls with her critical eyes.From the appearance point of view, this porcelain doll of hers is obviously more delicate, and the materials used are more expensive. Please, all the decorations on this porcelain doll are made of the most expensive materials or metals among similar materials.

And the porcelain doll left in the rich man's bedroom doesn't seem to have much difference in size from her own, but the shape is very different.It can only be said that the two porcelain dolls are very similar in terms of structural design and use of basic materials, and the techniques used are also similar with minor differences.Therefore, both porcelain dolls can move very flexibly, and both are easily broken, requiring proper preservation and handling.

The porcelain doll left in the rich man's bedroom is a typical middle-aged, or old-fashioned male porcelain doll.His body was fatter in stature and shorter in appearance than Mrs. Doyle's.

Arms, legs, and other body details are carefully carved with some lines, which symbolize the physical state of the elderly.The porcelain puppet's hair was already a little gray, and his eyes were not so crystal clear.Although he was wearing extremely decent clothes, it couldn't hide the signs of his aging.

Mrs. Doyle suddenly thought of a possibility.

She asked, "Do you have any clear photos of that rich man?"

Kingsman's Lancelot was probably Merlin's apprentice. She tapped the keyboard a few times and read the photos of the missing person.

Mrs. Doyle took out a magnifying glass from her bosom, and carefully examined the facial features of the porcelain puppets and real people.She suddenly turned to Francis and said, "Compare them."

Francis, who has always been a tacit understanding with his partner, understood her instructions and threw a few movable stereoscopic projection devices on the table.Then, the light emitted from the device established a three-dimensional model of the porcelain doll, and also built a recent three-dimensional model of himself based on the photos and previous videos of the missing person.

Francis began to debug the data and compared the details of various places.

He quickly fitted the two faces together according to the distribution of facial features.I saw triangles with similar angles drawn on the face images of the porcelain doll and the missing person. The arrangement and combination of these triangles divided the features of the two faces into nearly matching standards.

"Does this porcelain puppet really symbolize the missing person?" Lancelot asked in disbelief.When they were paying attention to the porcelain puppet before, they found that the appearance of this porcelain puppet seemed to be modeled after the missing rich man, but they did not expect that this similarity fit so well.

Could it be that the person who kidnapped him deliberately left this porcelain doll as a notice?

There are many criminals who leave their own unique symbols.But the reason why those brazen bastards left their marks was either to provoke the police or to deliberately mislead.

In short, they will not do such a thing as leaving a porcelain doll that is so similar to the person that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to customize.Because it takes a long time to set up, and the breach left for the police is also very obvious, it is completely thankless.

"Well done, Francis," Mrs. Doyle praised.That is because she is currently more sensitive to the characteristics of such "toys", so she can immediately determine that there is an inseparable relationship between this porcelain doll and his master.

But asking other people to see it, this is more like a pretentious mystery.After all, there is a dimensional wall between the face of the ceramic doll and the face of the real person.It is not easy to recognize people with absolute certainty in this way.

"So, the reason why the prisoner left such a porcelain doll is for" a footstep approached from behind.

"No, don't think like this." Merlin said, "We never speculate like this."

It wasn't until the young man spoke that Madam Doyle turned her head and gave him a look.

He looked as young as Lancelot, maybe they were born at the same time.

The young man had himself spruced up in a formal suit, thick-rimmed glasses, and his hair well styled with gel.However, this hairstyle is a bit too old-fashioned for him.

And after he spoke, Mrs. Doyle could hear that this young man was obviously not as stable as his appearance, but there was an inexplicable sense of playfulness in his tone.

"Merlin, is this your intern?"

"No, ma'am, Galahad has just become a regular."

"No wonder, he seems to have stolen an adult's clothes."

Obviously, compared to Lancelot, this Galahad has a bit of formality that doesn't match his appearance, just like he hasn't quite gotten used to wearing this outfit yet.

Therefore, the conjecture he put forward was a bit like those rookies who had just entered the game, which did not conform to the conventional process.

"Then everyone is here," Merlin said.

Several people in the conference room looked at the document projected in the air again.

Merlin first asked Mrs. Doyle, "Ma'am, what do you think?"

"I think," Mrs. Doyle said, "maybe he hasn't disappeared or been kidnapped."

This statement is somewhat novel.However, there are not a few speculations that this is a self-directed and self-acted drama.

But, why does Mrs. Doyle think so?

Merlin felt that he had opened up an incredible topic.

"I don't think he ever disappeared, he was always there."

When Galahad heard this, he suddenly shivered.

How does this sound like a ghost story

"If I can get in touch with that doll directly, maybe I can give a more definite answer." Mrs. Doyle said.

"That, Mrs. Doyle." Galahad directly raised his hand and asked, "Why do you say that he is not actually missing?"

"He should have been there all the time, didn't you notice?" Mrs. Doyle's answer gradually became affirmative.

"what"

"what"

Lancelot and Galahad screamed together.

Merlin's expression on the side was also not very good, but he was experienced in many battles, so he would not be easily frightened by these.

He ignored the immature performance of these two rookies, ignored the fact that these young people didn't understand some things, and decided to give them another exclusive training menu specially made by Merlin.

He pushed his glasses, "I would like to hear more about it."
