Leonard Mitchell clasped his hands and leaned forward slightly.
"We restored the scene Cuarón saw before his death.
"This didn't directly show the murderer's appearance, but the oriel window's glass happened to reflect Baron Syndras's figure."
After pausing for a second, Leonard added, "This is too simple.
It's not convincing. For a noble and powerful banker like Baron Syndras, even if he wanted to kill someone, it's impossible for him to do it himself or be a bystander, unless he has a special hobby.
"And as you know, there are too many ways to create such a scene. Be it illusions or disguises, they can all be done."
When he mentioned disguises, he looked up slightly and glanced at Dawn Dantès, as though he was saying, "What you look like now is likely not your true image, just like German Sparrow and Sherlock Moriarty."
What a simple and crude framing. It makes me suspect if the mastermind really wants to frame Baron Syndras … Hmm, I'll comb through everything from the beginning. Let's first assume that I, Dawn Dantès, would react like a normal person … Anyway, I won't say a conclusion. I'm only using questions to guide your train of thought. If the final answer isn't right, it must be because my dear poet has misunderstood me and failed to correctly understand my hints … Klein smiled as he raised his porcelain cup and took a sip of black tea.
"Let's not consider this problem for now. If I wasn't the one who was implicated, what would have happened?"
Leonard raised his crossed hands slightly as he tapped his index finger gently.
"As a suspect, Dawn Dantès was locked up in the police station. However, his butler, servants, neighbors, and friends could confirm that he had never come into contact with Cuarón's family. Hence, there was a huge contradiction between the two accounts. The police were unable to resolve the matter and had no choice but to request the Nighthawks' intervention.
"Through mediumship, we obtained the scene Cuarón saw before his suicide. From it, we extracted Baron Syndras's figure …"
As he spoke, Leonard suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, under Dwayne Dantès's smiling gaze, he continued, "I'm not sure.
"Regardless of whether Baron Syndras's appearance is too strange, too simple, or not convincing, we will still follow procedure and make contact with him to carry out the corresponding investigations … And this will cause us to notice certain problems with him?
Baron Syndras had problems involving the Beyonder domain to begin with, so he couldn't withstand the Nighthawks' in-depth investigation?
The more Leonard spoke, the more certain he became. He seemed to have grasped the mastermind's train of thought.
He, or they, didn't care if their trap would be seen through. As long as the Nighthawks did a routine investigation on Syndras, their goal would be achieved. This was because Baron Syndras hid a rather serious problem that could be easily discovered!
Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well. This is actually closer to a report, but it's gentler. It looks like a trap, forcing the Nighthawks to investigate and hide their existence … Of course, I won't directly confirm your guess. Wouldn't it be awkward if I'm wrong? Klein lifted his right foot and placed it on his left leg as he smiled.
"With the vigilant Baron Syndras, there should be no problems now."
Leonard slowly nodded and explained to himself, "This baron's experiences are rather legendary.
He was on the brink of bankruptcy several times, but he managed to pull himself back and climb to new heights.
"Perhaps, one of those times, he was in despair and had no other choice. Therefore, he sold his soul to an evil god, devil, or other hidden existence?"
That's quite a reasonable story … Klein didn't say if Leonard's guess was right or wrong. Instead, he asked,
He asked, "On the other hand, how would you view the real murderer that caused Cuarón to commit suicide?"
Leonard temporarily cast aside his previous judgment and said, based on the premise of "normal development," "The trap set up was too crude.
The cues, guidance, and memory implantation weren't subtle or gentle enough, making it easy for others to discover the problem. Therefore, it's unlikely to be done by a Mid-Sequence or High-Sequence Beyonder of the Spectator pathway. It's more likely that Beyonders of other pathways used the corresponding mystical items to disguise their actions … "
Before he finished his sentence, Leonard fell into silence once again. It was unknown what he had in mind.
Klein maintained a faint smile as he calmly looked at him, as though everything was under his control. However, I won't say it. It all depends on how much you understand it.
This matches what Old Man said previously … Was it really done by a Mid-Sequence or High-Sequence Beyonder of the Spectator? His seemingly rash and crude setup that was filled with loopholes had actually accurately considered everyone's reactions. He had considered the human nature of following procedures, but he had miscalculated Dawn Dantès's experience and wisdom? Leonard felt that he had figured out the situation. He straightened his body and coughed lightly.
"Thank you for your guidance."
Klein immediately chuckled.
"I didn't say anything."
Without waiting for Leonard's response, he took the initiative to speak.
"Your former colleague wants me to ask you how he should inform you if he discovers any traces of Ince Zangwill?"
Leonard, who was about to stand up to bid farewell, raised his buttocks and sat back down. With a complicated expression, he remained silent for more than ten seconds.
"Send the message in the form of a letter to 7 Pinster Street."
Does that mean you won't be leaving Baekeland for a long time? Or could it be that even if you went somewhere else to carry out your mission, you still have a way to monitor 7 Pinster Street and read the contents of the letter remotely? It's more likely to be the latter guess. An angel of the Marauder pathway definitely has many strange mystic techniques, and there's no lack of them that Leonard can use … I can't ask. Once I do, it will lower Dawn Dantès's level and ruin my persona … Klein put on an unperturbed look as he smiled.
"I'll tell him."
Leonard didn't leave immediately.
"If I want to contact him, what should I do?"
When he asked this question, his green eyes were deep and reserved.
Klein was prepared. He smiled and said,
"A spirit that wanders the unfounded, a friendly creature that can be controlled, a messenger that belongs solely to the German Sparrow.
"If you aren't sure about the exact ritual, you can consult Pallez."
Leonard knew that the German Sparrow was Sherlock Moriarty, who was also Klein Moretti. He nodded indiscernibly and stood up.
"Thank you for informing me. Please forgive me for my sudden visit."
With that said, he retreated to the door, opened it, and left the dream.
Hey, you're leaving just like that? As a Nightmare, or rather, a former Nightmare, aren't you going to consider the flaws in your memories? You can remember it just by hearing it once? Isn't that too little!? As Klein watched Leonard's back disappear, he couldn't help but lampoon.
He shook his head in exasperation, ended his afternoon nap, and busied himself with West Balam's matters.
…
On the Golden Dream, Dhaniz, who had finally completed his mission, was drinking iced beer due to the recent hot weather.
If it wasn't for the fact that producing ice required Beyonder powers and there wasn't much of it, he felt that he could finish half a bucket in one go.
This is enjoyment! Dhaniz gulped down the remaining liquid in the cup.
At that moment, a grayish-white fog emanated in front of him as German Sparrow's voice echoed in his ears.
"… Please inform Dhaniz to immediately rush to West Balam and figure out the situation in the territories of the two native generals, Maysanchez and Katami. He needs to pay special attention to any signs of Rose School activity …"
W-go to West Balam? Dhaniz held his cup as he repeated German Sparrow's request with a stutter.
He had once gone there with the crew of the Golden Dream in search of treasure. He had also obtained rather detailed information from Captain Iceberg Edwina, so he knew how chaotic and dangerous West Balam was.
Furthermore, I'm going alone this time! Dhaniz pursed his lips, feeling that his future was bleak.
In his mind, scenes of primitive forests that hid all sorts of terrifying creatures, native tribes that believed in Death but had their own oddities, roads filled with bandits and the Resistance, villages frequented by wraiths and shadows, and cities where gunfights and Beyonder battles would erupt from time to time.
No, I have to reject German Sparrow. Reject … At the very least, he has to send me an assistant! Hmm … Even ordinary people can survive in West Balam, become rich, and have their own manors. This means that it's not as terrifying as I imagined it to be. I'm only scaring myself … Besides, German Sparrow only wants me to figure out the situation. He doesn't want me to contact anyone to deal with anyone … Dhaniz quickly forced a smile and asked Mr. Fool to inform German Sparrow that he would immediately set off.
Then, according to German Sparrow's instructions, he set up a ritual to request Mr. Fool's bestowment in his room.
At the end of the ritual, he saw an illusory door open. A dark gold brooch in the shape of a Sun bird flew out and landed on the altar.
This was the Brooch of the Sun!
In the Southern Continent, in the kingdom ruled by Death, the Sun pathway was one of the most useful Beyonder pathways!
He directly gave me such a valuable item … It's not bad working for German Sparrow … However, I think he said 'borrow'? Dhaniz picked up the brooch and felt the heat and humidity around him intensify.
…
After assigning tasks to Dhaniz, Klein was just about to open the door to instruct his valet, Richardson, to prepare a cup of ice water when his spiritual perception was triggered.
Following that, he secretly activated his Spirit Vision and saw Miss Messenger Reinette Tinekerr walk out of the void. In her hand was a blonde, red-eyed head that was biting on a thin letter.
