Lovier doesn't quite understand the two people's speculations.
"Aren't legends the kind of great and amazing things in history? Can such a thing also become a legend?"
"Yes, but legends are also graded. As you can see, the legends that most people know can be classified as epics, and the "legends" we are talking about now are more like some kind of gossip or "idiosyncratic rumors" circulating in the city." Aurora explained.
"This kind of "strange news" is not very popular, but as long as there are enough people, it can also unite Secret Speech Aspect."
""Secret Speech" represents knowledge, records, rules, and history. These concepts, if a story is accepted and believed by everyone, even if the real world has never happened, then this "false history" will still have an effect and have an impact on future generations."
[Secret Speech]: History is hidden in proverbs, and the past shapes the future.
"It feels like some kind of liar game." Lovier said softly.
"Deceive people into believing, and then use this belief to achieve your own goals."
"It's so sad. If there are too many liars like this and something really sad happens, no one will believe it anymore."
"Yes, Lovier." This was the first time Sylutia saw Lovier showing a depressed expression, so she walked over and hugged him gently.
"So, we must defeat the evil villain." He spoke in the ear of the blond girl in a coaxing tone, making Lovier's face blush slightly.
"So I feel like a child." She shook her head.
"No, no, Hedra is bullying me." She opened her hands, hugged Sylutia, and prepared to tickle her, skipping the embarrassing scene as soon as possible.
After playing around for a while, Lovier ran to the side, picked up his cat, and then sat by the bed to continue listening to the two people's plans.
Sylutia decided to participate in the investigation of Police Station, not only to clear the suspicion, but also to understand what kind of living conditions Orc is currently living in the Mage Alliance.
Aurora continues to be in charge of contacting the theater. She said that if the real prisoner hears about this incident, he will definitely come back to watch the opera to understand what other people think of him and what his reputation is.
"I will be responsible for cheering you up." Lovier said that he would prepare delicious food for the two of them every day.
"The murder is too terrible. I don't want to watch it. I don't understand what's going on at the theater."
So, the three people who completed the division of labor began to take action. Because of Brandon's greeting, Police Station agreed to let Sylutia accompany him. This was also a disguised form of surveillance and the issuance of an alibi certificate.
So in the following week, Sylutia took leave and kept going back and forth between Police Station and the scene of the case, watching how those people investigated, took samples, and researched. She benefited a lot from these processes, and she also found ways to use "Secret Speech" Aspect Power to assist the police.
"There are still residual fingerprints here." In a corner where no one cares, Sylutia pointed to the corner of the wall.
After hearing this, the police officer took out a magnifying glass and looked carefully, and saw a faint mark. He was surprised by the girl's keen observation. Others took out special tools and engraved the fingerprint.
After several subsequent visits to the scene, Sylutia also helped find more information, including many corner details that had been overlooked.
As the number of these things increases, like a collection of fragments, a vague image is gradually pieced together. From fingerprints, height, weight, good techniques, habitual movements, walking posture, and width of steps, it becomes clear bit by bit.
After getting these, we took out the list of opera audiences for the performance, checked and screened the names and identities of the people on it, and got 46 possible candidates. After further checking and screening, we got 7 possible candidates, and finally conducted a more detailed check on these 7 people.
"The person we are going to meet today is a waiter from Beetle Street. He works at "Night Fragrance", which is a high-end guest teahouse that only entertains guests with membership status." After getting along with each other during this time, the staff at Police Station have already become familiar with this girl and rely more and more on her keen observation.
"I understand."
"Considering that if we go in directly, it will arouse the other party's alert, we need to make some disguise this time." A senior police officer reminded.
"Ms. Hedra, have you ever considered temporarily playing the role of a noble lady? Your temperament is definitely enough."
"Well, okay." If it's just once, it's not a big problem.
"Then let's rent a dress first. Don't worry, that store has worked with us many times and we are acquainted with it." With that said, the police first went to a fine clothing store on the street.
After entering the store, a female police officer skillfully led Sylutia to the changing room at the back. After a few words with the proprietress, the other party looked at Sylutia, estimated her approximate figure, and then took out a black dress.
This dress is made of matte matte high-grade black fabric, and is embellished with reflective bright black lace on the chest, sleeves, and skirt. The gaps between the fabric and the bottom fabric create a three-dimensional sense of space, breaking the monotony of a single color and forming a low-key luxury beauty.
"Wow, this suit looks expensive." The police officer was also surprised. Although it was a cooperative relationship, it was rare for the boss to borrow such an expensive dress.
"Yes, this is a fine piece of tailoring by a famous designer, but if this young lady wears it, it will not be overshadowed, it will even be pleasing to the eye." She had a sharp eye, and she could tell at a glance that Sylutia's temperament is very suitable for this dress.
"But I also have a small request. I need this lady to actively or passively introduce the origin of this dress at the banquet or party she attends." It turned out that I wanted to use Sylutia to make a GG.
"Just say that I picked it up in our store accidentally. I was very satisfied and bought it. It only cost 900 gold coins."
"What do you mean it only cost 900 gold coins?" The female police officer on the side couldn't stand it. The price was very expensive, about ten years' salary.
"You don't understand the obsessions and thoughts of those women." The landlady shook her head.
"High prices are what they pursue. The higher the price, the more they can show their status and difference."
"Besides, only at this price can so many masters focus on this field, otherwise everyone would go and learn Mage." She also complained in passing.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the boss of "Black Lily". You can call me Madam Grace."
"Okay, Madam Grace." Sylutia nodded and replied.
Suddenly, Grace looked at the girl a few more times with interest and asked again.
"Do you know Yingzi?"
"We do know each other. We went to that store last month to get acquainted."
"Oh, I thought you were her descendant. After all, you look like an Oriental. I didn't expect that." She thought of something interesting.
"It seems she hasn't made clothes for you yet. That guy has always been lazy, otherwise he wouldn't have such a low reputation."
"Next time you go to see her, wear my outfit."
"This?" Sylutia blinked, slightly confused.
"Don't ask why, she will understand. Just treat it as a greeting between two acquaintances, haha."
After leaving the store, the police officer explained for a while, and then told Sylutia that the carriage was ready.
"Take a carriage and arrive at "Night Fragrance", then hand the invitation letter to the waiter and you can go in for the party."
"This is a party hosted by Mrs. Marid. Her family operates a large number of food industries. Nearly a quarter of the Mage Alliance's high-end snacks are provided by her family's industry. This time we also invite familiar friends and distinguished guests to come and taste it."
"Ms. Hedra is holding this tin biscuit box. When you find the waiter, ask him to open it for you. As long as he touches it with his fingers, he will leave clear fingerprints on it. Then we can get it and go back to check." After saying that, the police officer handed Sylutia a smooth and clean biscuit box with a "pansy" floral pattern embossed on it.
"I understand." Sylutia took it carefully with his fingers wearing black silk gloves and put it into his small handbag. The bag, shoes, hair accessories, and jewelry that match this dress are all provided by the proprietress of "Black Lily".
The carriage drove slowly through the street and stopped at the gate of "Night Fragrance" a few minutes later. Then, with the help of a police officer pretending to be a maid, Sylutia got out of the carriage and walked into the red brick building decorated with wrought iron fences and night lights.
She walked to the door, handed over the invitation, and entered with the maid.
After turning around the red carpet corridor in "Night Fragrance", the two quickly arrived at the lobby on the third floor, where many guests had already arrived in advance.
Different from ordinary banquets, there are a large number of various snacks placed on the tables here. Each long table has a gorgeous chandelier, which shines brightly below. However, in the part away from the long table, the lights are not so bright, and are darker and softer. Many guests are in this environment, talking relaxedly with acquaintances, and occasionally commenting on the new products that appeared this time.
"Mingxi's maple sugar, paired with Quebes's sea salt, and then crispy biscuits baked until crispy and golden. This feeling is really enjoyable."
"There are a lot of new tricks. I saw the spiral rose dessert tower."
"As expected of Mrs. Marid, she can bring surprises to everyone every time."
Sylutia walked into the lobby and listened to the conversations of the guests. Most of them were making meaningless chats, but some of them were really seriously tasting the snacks provided here.
She first came to a long table and asked the waiter to help take down a piece of tea cake printed with flowers. Then she came to a small table in the corner and sat down, drinking tea and enjoying it slowly.
During this process, Sylutia's eyes slowly scanned the entire hall, searching for the target.
Although Aspect Power cannot use many abilities due to her lowered rank, Identification Pupil's abilities are still retained, making her still powerful in terms of observation.
After determining the target, Sylutia slowly finished the tea cake on the plate, then stood up and walked towards the direction of the waiter.
"I asked you to find absorbent tissues, why did it take you so long?" A girl wearing a light blue and white dress frowned, holding a handkerchief in her hand, scolding the waiter in front of her who bowed her head to apologize.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Hutao, I ran all the way to the storage room on the second floor to find what you need."
"Still looking for excuses, do you mean that I don't understand you?" This girl with bright blond hair and exquisite hairstyle raised her eyebrows. Although she looked angry, because of her good looks, even so, she still had a different kind of coquettish beauty, which attracted the admiration of many young guests nearby.
"Don't be angry, Hutao, let me help you wipe off the stains on your skirt." As she said that, Sylutia noticed a few alcohol-stained patches on the corner of her skirt. It seemed that this was why she was looking for absorbent paper.
"Come on, Anna, help me wipe it." As she said that, she asked the maid behind her to kneel down and carefully wipe the stains on her skirt. First, she used absorbent paper to absorb the wine, then diluted it with a little water to dilute it, and then blotted it again, repeating this process, trying to make the small stains no longer conspicuous among the patterns.
At this time, the waiter who had just been scolded slowly stepped aside. Seeing that he was about to leave the hall and go to an unknown place, Sylutia had to speak at this time.
"Hello, can you get me a snack?"
The voice of Sylutia made the other party stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and picked up the tweezers on the table with a little panic, then carefully cut off a piece of snack and placed it on a delicate silver plate.
Noticing this scene, Miss Hutao looked at Sylutia with a slightly strange look.
"It's really interesting that you said "hello"." Her subtext was that she had never seen such politeness to a servant.
Even though Sylutia not far away heard it, she didn't pay attention to the young lady at the moment. She asked the waiter to carry the plate and come to the corner of the hall.
"Put it here."
"Yes." The other party put it down respectfully and carefully.
At this moment Sylutia sat down again, raised his eyes, and saw the other person's face clearly.
He has a square face, average appearance, and slightly curly hair. If he were not wearing a particularly neat waiter's uniform, he would be completely inconspicuous on the street outside. However, the waiters here have second-level strength, stronger than many freshmen. If he were in a place like Regas Kingdom, he would be a well-known figure in the city.
"I have a box of biscuits in my bag. Take it out for me. I want to try it with some snacks."
"Yes." The other party took a deep breath, then carefully opened the bag the girl put aside, took out the tin box, and after opening it with her fingers, a few thin biscuits were revealed inside.
He picked up the chopsticks on the table, carefully took out the biscuits, placed them on the plate, and then watched the girl spread snacks on them and taste them in small bites.
This will only require eating the biscuits and snacks and recycling the tin box. More conversations and inquiries will only arouse the other party's vigilance. Anyway, if it is determined that he is the murderer, there will always be various interrogation methods in the follow-up, so don't rush this moment.
However, although accidents are uncommon, they still happen.
"You still bring it here to eat, but this method is novel." He picked up the tin biscuit box on the table with one hand, looked at the logo on it, and took out one piece to taste.
The other party was none other than Miss Hutao just now. Her hair was tied into a delicate hairstyle on the back of her head, revealing her neck as slender as a swan. A few pale golden hairs were transparent in the light and outlined at the back of her neck.
"The taste is very ordinary." She said, and followed Sylutia's example, spreading a small amount of snacks on the biscuits and continuing to try.
The overly soft and sweet snacks, paired with the slightly crispy biscuits, created a wonderful chemical reaction that made her eyes light up.
"Oh? This is really good." Then she tried a few more times, but Sylutia could only interrupt helplessly.
"Please also ask Ms. Hutao to leave some for me." She was afraid that the other party would take the box away directly.
"Oh, I got it." The other party waved his hand casually.
"I'll ask my aunt to give you a few boxes of biscuits later."
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to know you. How do you know my name?"
"I just heard someone else say it." Sylutia replied.
"Is Miss Hutao's aunt Mrs. Marid?"
"Of course, it seems you really don't know me." After finishing the snacks and biscuits in her hands, she stretched her hands behind her, and the maid carefully wiped them clean again.
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Fox Family. The snacks you saw at the banquet today are my family's property." She slightly held her chin up with her fingers and looked at Sylutia with interest.
"The clothes, appearance, and temperament are all very rare."
"What's your name."
"My name is Hedra. This is the first time we meet, Miss Hutao."
"Gee, I remember you. Come to the next party. I will ask someone to prepare an invitation letter for you." After saying that, the young lady left gracefully with the maid.
Seeing that the young lady finally left, the waiter on the side breathed a sigh of relief. He had no other tasks to meet Sylutia, and he was ready to leave the hall again.
"Help me put the cookie box away and put it back in the bag." The voice of Sylutia came to my ears again.
"Yes."
Once again, the fingerprint of that finger was clearly printed on the tin box, and Sylutia finally got what she wanted.
I was very happy to ride the Rotation Trojan today 0 0/~
