Dropped to the ground and ran straight out into the street.

Just when Durand wondered why there seemed to be a lot of panic and noisy shouts in the house, a hand was put on his shoulder, which made him almost scream out in fright.

"It's me." Levi motioned him to calm down, "Joseph was killed, just now."

"What? Where's the murderer?"

"Escaped with a three-dimensional mobile device."

"Did Joseph die in a room above the second floor with the windows wide open?" Durand asked with eyelids.

Levi frowned, "Yes."

"Then did he die because his chest was pierced by a sharp weapon?"

"How did you know?"

Durand's hand holding the rein trembled slightly, "It's him...it's the 'cigarette killer'!"

"I did smell a smell of smoke just now. You seem to know that guy very well."

"Be careful, that man is the killer of the Sterling family. He can drive a three-dimensional mobile device, but he usually only assassinates people who are alone."

"Then you have to be careful. Erwin asked me to inform you to leave quickly."

Durand got on his horse, "Even if you don't tell me, I'm going to do it. It seems that they already know that someone is investigating them, but I can't be found out." After finishing speaking, Durand urged the horse to trot and disappeared into the night.

Soon, the military police of this small town also arrived at the scene, and Erwin, Levi, and Vanessa were "invited" to the local military police branch to "drink tea" without any surprise.

Fortunately, in the gap before the arrival of the military police, when everyone was in a panic, Erwin quietly told Levi and Vanessa how to unify their caliber, without mentioning any clues about the 'cigarette killer', to avoid extra complications, by the way Also made up an 'unassailable' reason to explain why they came to Joseph, "Remember, we are here because we want to eat the chocolate that Joseph gave Vanessa last time, so let her be a matchmaker and ask Joseph to make it cheaper Sell ​​us a few boxes. But because the Survey Corps has been short of funds recently, I came here secretly in order not to disturb morale."

Early in the morning, the three were released by the Gendarmerie, and Vanessa asked Erwin in a low voice, "Captain, are you really not afraid that your reputation will be harmed?"

"It's better than saying that we are here to threaten him to cooperate with us." Erwin said calmly.

“But it’s also easy to be misunderstood by saying that.”

"Haven't the Survey Corps always been misunderstood by the world?"

"I mean inside the Corps."

"As soldiers of the Survey Corps, they know us well."

"Uh..." Vanessa was speechless. I have to say that Erwin's brain circuit is really strange.

"Can't you give a better reason?" Vanessa muttered.

"You and Joseph's intersection is limited to this, and there is no way."

"Hey, you are the leader, so whatever you say is what you say." Vanessa couldn't complain, she found that Levi remained silent throughout the conversation, and it seemed that he had already seen through the world and refused to go with Erwin debate such issues.Because no matter how hard you argue, it is impossible to argue against this guy with full-level deception skills.

Plotting (1)

Dill has not been idle since her recovery, but has been 'traveling the world' in a wheelchair.It was not without reason that she chose to stay. The third suggestion Vanessa gave her told her that the Sterling family had a large amount of illegal income, and the evidence was hidden in a dark compartment on the floor of the study. If it could be found, Maybe it can become the most powerful weapon to bring them down.

However, Vanessa is not sure whether the item will still be there, and only takes it as a suggestion with the lowest reference value.But Del wanted to take a gamble, so she rejected Levi's escape plan.

On the grounds that she would continue to live in Sterling's house after getting married, Dai ordered the maid to push her around the mansion. While memorizing the terrain, she asked the maid about the function of each room, and thus found the location of the study. exact location.

In order not to reveal her intention to find a study, Dai Er sometimes offered to go to the outdoor garden to hang out and visit the places where the servants lived and worked, euphemistically called "knowing the family situation".By the way, steal some clothes and hide them under loose skirts in case you need them in the future.

Over time, a three-dimensional map of the Sterling family's mansion took shape in Dai'er's mind, but before her engagement was announced, Dai'er still had no chance to go to the study to find out.

At night, Dai'er walked through the mansion in a wheelchair by herself, and ordered the maid in charge of taking care of her to follow her at a distance.Since Dai'er promised not to leave their sight, the maids had no choice but to obey. After all, according to the current situation, she will soon be the mistress of the Sterling family.

In the study, the 'cigarette killer' reported the situation to Niobe, "I have already killed him, and he was found by the investigation corps just a step away."

"Thank you, go down." Niobe covered her nose with a feather fan.

Dai'er wandered around the house deliberately, passing by the study 'inadvertently'.At this time, a thin man with a three-dimensional mobile device came out of the study.

The man walked past her without looking at Dai'er. The wind behind him carried a strong smell of smoke, which made Dai'er pinch her nose quickly.But when she turned her head and took a closer look, the three-dimensional mobile device on that person looked very strange. It was fixed on the back instead of the waist like an ordinary soldier.And the weapon hanging by his leg looks like a gun at a glance.

Is it a new three-dimensional mobile device?A gun of that caliber can't kill a giant, can it?

With all kinds of questions, Dai'er stopped and beckoned the maid behind her to come to her side, "Do you know that person?"

Unexpectedly, this question turned the faces of the two maids, and they repeatedly emphasized, "I don't know, I really don't know."

Dai'er didn't continue to ask. A person who can scare the maids who have worked here for many years is definitely not a good person.

Wait a minute, although guns can't kill giants, they are more than enough for killing people.Dai'er subconsciously clenched the armrest of the wheelchair. With this three-dimensional mobile device, it should be easy to jump over the wall and enter the hospital to kill people, but the biggest flaw is that it will leave traces of claw hooks on the walls and other attachments.Her heart tightened, whether it was the truth of the world, the evidence of the Sterling family's crimes, or the strange three-dimensional mobile device in front of her, she had to tell the investigative corps.

Thinking of this, Dai'er quickly raised her head to look at the lock on the study door.Judging from experience, she can't guarantee how long it will take to pry it open without using a key and leaving no traces.She inquired and learned that, for the safety of the mansion, every floor will be patrolled by servants on night shift at night. Her room is on the fourth floor, and the study room is on the slope below the third floor. No matter how you walk, it is difficult to avoid both floors at the same time. floor servants.

To get the keys?But the spare keys were all in the housekeeper's room, and it was difficult for her to get them.

Dai'er left the door of the study with a heavy heart, thinking about how to reduce the risk of sneaking into the study.

Walking around inevitably leads to narrow roads, and Icarus's personal maid, Anna, walked towards her, but when she saw Dai'er, she turned a blind eye to her just like the man just now, and walked in front of her swaggeringly.

Plotting (2)

Emma, ​​one of the maids following Dai'er, was sent by Niobe. She has more seniority and a stronger attitude. Seeing Anna being so pampered and ignorant of etiquette, she immediately scolded her loudly: "Seeing that Morrie Why is Miss Sen not polite?"

Anna nodded proudly to Dai'er, and deliberately pulled up her cuff to reveal a beautifully crafted silver bracelet, "This is given to me by the young master. The young master knew that it was inconvenient for me to do some physical work, so he never let me wear it." Do. Unlike some people, the young master doesn't even bother to take a look."

"Is your relationship allowed by Mrs. Sterling?" Daile asked calmly.

As if she had hit the nail on the head, Anna's face turned livid immediately, she glared at Emma behind Dai'er, hesitated to speak, and could only say "Farewell." Then she left quickly.

"Is she like this before?" Dai'er asked strangely.She still couldn't understand that even if she was regarded as a lover by Icarus, she was just a maid after all, but her attitude was too domineering.

Emma sighed helplessly: "She used to be very honest and quiet. It's just that after the young master took a fancy to her, she became more and more ostentatious."

"Isn't that the same as Icarus?" Daier sneered.

"Madam is also very opposed to their relationship, but the young master is resolute, so Madam can only turn a blind eye." Emma explained in a low voice.

It's not good to talk about the master in private like this, Emma held the handle of the wheelchair, "Miss, it's getting late, let's take you back to rest."

Emma blew out the candles in the room after she waited for Del to go to sleep.In the middle of the night, a figure slipped into Dai'er's room in the dark.

Dill was once a well-trained soldier, and being alone in a strange and hostile environment, her sleep gradually became very shallow like Levi's, and any disturbance could make her open her eyes immediately.

With the help of the not-so-bright moonlight, Dai'er could barely see the outline of the other party, like a maid.Not knowing if the other party was trying to harm her, Dai'er narrowed her eyes, ready to take out the jackknife under the pillow to fight.

Although the man kept looking in Dai'er's direction, he didn't get close to the bed. Instead, he came to the wheelchair and didn't know what to do. Then he tiptoed out and closed the door again.

"No wonder brother Levi always looks like he has dark circles
