Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 384 Watson Detective’s Investigation Chapter 488: Chapter 384 Watson Detective’s Investigation Aiwass didn’t leave the Hall of Silver and Tin in the middle of the night; instead, he stayed over.

Long ago, Queen Isabel had prepared a room for Aiwass.

And the items that Aiwass had burned while reading the “Morning Crow Scripture” had all been replaced.

After all, tonight there would certainly be many people coming to mourn at the Gryphon Bridge.

Some from the Round Table Hall would surely be there to block him.@@@@

Aiwass didn’t want to face those outside and figured it was wise to avoid trouble for himself.

The next day, the national morning papers published the news of Her Majesty the Queen’s death.

...

There were over three hundred named newspapers in Avalon.

Among them were some official ones and some not so official.

But no matter their usual style of reporting, today they all had to faithfully report the news of Queen Sofia’s passing and Queen Isabel’s accession to the throne.

Among these similar announcements, some newspapers included the demonic painting drawn by Master Yanis.

Even though in Avalon, only the “Glass Staircase Daily” could carry magical paintings, Master Yanis’s painting skills were more than sufficient to serve as photographs.

Hence, these magical paintings were also transcribed into negatives by special personnel and distributed to all major newspapers on Glass Island.

As for remote newspapers, the news would be delayed by a couple of days, or they’d simply wait for the national funeral held a week later to publish it all at once.

At this moment, on a street near Garden City in the Metropolitan District, a young man in a yellow trench coat and a brown beret is seriously looking at newspapers spread across his desk in his own “Watson Detective Agency” – some of these are old issues, and of course, this includes today’s “Glass Staircase Daily” that he had purchased at a high price.

Andre Watson, biting a pen, gazed at the newspapers unfolded before him, deep in thought, his pupils shimmering with azure radiance.

He was a detective.

Of course, certainly not as famous as Sherlock.

But still, he was outstanding.

The Metropolitan District was the most bustling place on Glass Island and also had the highest population.

Here was not as dangerous as Lohar District, nor was it like the Red-White Queen District where almost every case might involve some important figure.

This place was simply busy – busy due to the sheer number of people.

And for this reason, Mr.

Watson was often asked to help with some difficult cases by the local Supervisory Bureau.

As a Mage of the Path of Wisdom, his brain was much more useful than those of the Legal Mages and Inspectors.

After all, there was only one Sherlock.

But for the major cases on Glass Island, he alone couldn’t handle them all.

But at the same time, Andre Watson had another identity… or rather, two additional identities.

In fact, he was a spy from Star Antimony, born in the Star Antimony’s Army First Special Operations Force.

This force had another name, “The Chamber,” mainly tasked with the collection and processing of intelligence.

It was so named because before becoming codified and regularized, it originated as an anonymous chamber where early “The Twelve Keys” members exchanged intelligence and conspired.

As a member of the “secret chamber,” he knew the kind of resistance and crisis Miss Crowley would encounter in her own country.

Although Star Antimony would certainly exchange spies to get her back after her capture...

her parents and her family would have to endure tremendous pressure because of this!

Even as the daughter of an Earl, she would have to pay a price.

Her family would soon pay the price, and she would have to repay it on behalf of her family.

It was because of their similar situations and the resonance he felt that Andre harbored animosity towards the male protagonist of the tale, “Aiwass Moriarty,” while also being curious about his charm.

Driven by his curiosity, he began an investigation.

—And he discovered that Aiwass was a playboy!

In his high school days, he played the field every day, even inciting girls to quarrel and fight over him;

His girlfriends changed weekly, ranging from his thirty-something-year-old female teacher to the younger sisters of his classmates, all of whom displayed an uncommon warmth with him in public places;

Even the fighting girls eventually made up and became friends under his coaxing, joining forces to dispel rumors and alleviate the negative impact caused by the gossip—

After graduating from high school, his leg seemed to have been broken by the brother of one of his girlfriends, confining him to a wheelchair.

Later, he was intimately involved with figures such as the student council president in university, his female head teacher, and even Queen Isabel.

“...such a fickle man is certainly no good match, Miss Crowley!”

As Andre was worrying about his colleague whom he had never met, he received news of the Queen’s demise.

After reading his regular newspaper and seeing the photograph of Aiwass with Queen Isabel, he immediately went out to purchase the Glass Staircase Daily featuring a Demonic Painting!

He then gathered all the newspapers and intelligence related to Aiwass for a combined analysis.

Andre scrutinized the Demonic Painting hundreds of times and deduced a very crucial piece of intelligence—

When Aiwass had his hand on Isabel’s shoulder, the young Queen showed no sign of resistance or reluctance.

When she turned her head to look up at Aiwass, there was clear delight in her eyes.

And after Aiwass removed his hand, Queen Isabel even stepped aside half a step.

To the average person, this might seem like an attempt to maintain distance.

But Andre, observing Isabel’s shoulders and arms, confirmed that her arm moved slightly backward when Aiwass lowered his hand.

What does that indicate?

It indicates that she actively touched Aiwass’s hand!

And after that, Aiwass’s hands were placed behind him—this might signify a gesture of “avoidance.”

The half-step aside by Isabel allowed Aiwass to be less conspicuous behind her.

It instead resembled two people standing shoulder to shoulder.

Rather than sovereign and subject, more like a photograph of a husband and wife.

Taking into account his previous analysis of Isabel’s desire to attack, Andre boldly concluded:

Isabel’s decision to take a photograph with only Aiwass by her side during the height of the rumors between him and Aleister was to wrestle Aiwass away from Miss Crowley!
