The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

He continued: "Then let's start with the news I know. What I heard here is that the Fillmore family seems to have been investing heavily in the field of 'art' recently.

"For example, they rearranged the collections of the family museum and opened it to the public - very few families will open the family museum to the public. This is the museum that Angela and I are going to this Saturday."

"Yes." Angela added from the side, "Also, most families don't have family museums."

"Only a family that is old enough and prosperous enough can support a family museum. It is almost equivalent to the family tree of this family." Dorothea said.

Siles nodded, which coincided with his thoughts - among all the families they suspected, the Fillmore family was the most powerful and powerful.

Dorothea continued: "In addition to the family museum, what I heard here is that the family seems to plan to display some precious collections, and even auction them. They seem to intend to disturb the art market, at least My grandfather is already preparing."

She showed a slightly helpless expression, obviously not wanting Adolphus Grant to be involved.However, the Fillmore family seems to be planning to spend a lot of money.

"That's the information I got here." Dorothea said.

Angela then answered tacitly: "My side...Professor, I'm not sure if you know it, but 14 years ago, the Fillmore family seemed to be on the opposite side of the current Grand Duke."

Dorothea gave a look of astonishment, clearly understanding what had happened 14 years ago; Jules was completely bewildered.

Siles nodded and said, "So, now?"

"That's what I'm going to say. I heard it from my dad." Angela lowered her voice subconsciously, "It is said that the Grand Duke now stands on the opposite side of what happened 14 years ago, that is, on the other side. The family on the heir side of Constance is very dissatisfied."

Siles narrowed his eyes slightly.

Angela said again: "I have already informed my father of Ebenezer Const—should this be the name?—about the return of this person. It is estimated that he should have made the Grand Duke aware of it in various ways. .

"As a result, the Grand Duke's attitude has also undergone a subtle change. Usually he is too lazy to pay attention to this group of followers of the old gods, and completely entrusts these people to the Church of the Past and the Historical Society to deal with, but... because of the appearance of Ebenezer , so he did change his attitude.

"It may not be a very obvious change. After all, the Grand Duke seldom expresses emotional fluctuations clearly. But... But, Dad accidentally said that just a few days ago, people from the Fillmore family had a secret meeting with the Grand Duke."

"What did they talk about?" asked Dorothea.

Angela shook her head: "That's unknown. I think it might be a sign of loyalty?" She said it more like a joke.

"What about the Grand Duke's attitude afterward?"

"Nothing changed." Angela spread her hands. "At least my dad didn't mention it. He just said that maybe other families will start to panic too."

Siles thought about it.For him, the actions of Grand Duke Const because of the appearance of Ebenezer Const are at least helpful.

It also means that their investigation will not be subject to any sudden obstruction.

As for whether it can really help...

Siles thought, maybe the reason why the Fillmore family wanted to take something from the Graves family's assets was because of this meeting with Duke Const?

He thought about it, and looked at Jules again.He was a little curious what information Jules would have to offer.

But at this moment, Angela suddenly pointed to the stack of eight-petal rose paper on the table.She reminded: "Professor, there seems to be a new inkblot."

Siles couldn't help being startled, he looked at the eight-petal rose paper.The top one did have new writing.He took the paper over and looked at it carefully.

"...

"A rather unexpected discovery, Professor, the owner of the theater opposite us has slipped his tongue.

"He came to see the situation in the theater area today, and he seemed to want to know when the business can continue. It happened that we had already started to match the lines today, and I went outside to get some air, and I met this gentleman.

"He complained to me about the hot weather and the occurrence of the murder. I chatted with him a few times and wanted to ask him what he thought about the power of the revelation in the murder.

"However, he suddenly said, 'It was such a hot afternoon when I invited that guy to the theater'. He didn't actually finish the sentence, but stopped suddenly when he said 'hot dead .

"He probably realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he said goodbye to me quickly and left in a hurry.

"I think what he meant seemed to be...he invited the deceased, Alan, to his theater? This seemed to explain why the deceased appeared at the theater door late at night.

"Hope this message helps you.

"..."

Ms. Heidi surprised Sirius with the news.

This means...the murder in the theater district may have been premeditated!

"When I invited that guy to the theater, he was so hot..." The theater owner didn't finish his sentence, what will happen after that?

Ms Heidi guessed it was a reference to a "deathly hot afternoon".Maybe something happened later, so that Allen the deceased stayed in the theater until late at night?In any case, it gave Siles a glimmer of inspiration.

Siles narrowed his eyes, thinking in his mind.

The three students in front of them also curiously asked what happened.Siles handed them the eight-petal rose paper.

While they were immersed in reading the news on the paper, Siles let the ghost who had been following the puppet leave temporarily, went to Qindo, and asked Qindo to help reply a letter.After all, he has to focus on this, and it is not easy to return to the original body.

[This is a very meaningful discovery, but it may also arouse the vigilance of people behind the scenes.Murders in the Theater District will not be the end.Something unexpected might happen this Saturday, so be safe. 】
