It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Therefore, except for the accounts at the end of the month and daily purchases, most of An Nai's time is now free, which can be used to daze, read newspapers, and even learn some basic knowledge about mystery.

Of course, the latter must be based on her being in a good mood.

A lot of money, a good residence, and a daily life that is not boring... This kind of life really makes people have nothing to complain about.

Maybe it would be good to continue like this. It would be better if there is no urging from parents about something——

At some point, An Nai was surprised to find that she herself seemed to be less urgent about marriage than before.Maybe she can be more critical, at least to leave more choices for herself.

She raised her head and saw Ella appearing on the spiral staircase, her eyes lit up.The other was wearing an off-the-shoulder goose-yellow crinoline tunic she had carefully selected two weeks ago and put in the closet of the master bedroom on the second floor.

The exaggerated style, with up to twenty layers of expanded petticoats and lace decorations, is the most popular in Paris right now.

Although it seemed a bit too trendy for her age and state of mind, it was also a treat to see it on a beautiful silver-haired girl.

This design can well support the girl's smooth shoulders and delicate collarbone. Although the lines are slightly skinny, this contrast makes it more difficult to miss the line of sight.

Annai's gaze made Ella feel a layer of goosebumps on her arms, which was obviously a relatively simple one she found in the closet.

This situation of being treated as a dress-up doll made her very uncomfortable. In my impression, the current female chief knight in Snow Country seems to have similar hobbies. Maybe she will find a lot of common topics with Miss Annai.

Ella was a little hard to understand the meaning of this flamboyant and stupid popular style. She remembered seeing related news in the Parisian daily not long ago.

It was a not too serious river fall accident. Two young women fell into the river on the Pont Neuf on the Île de la Cité. Fortunately, they met Mr. Dreyfus, a naval captain who was on leave at the time, and his sister. lead to serious consequences.

What is even more surprising is that after questioning, it was found that the reason why the two ladies fell into the river was because their skirts were too big and were blown up by the strong wind outside.

At the end of the story, the editor concluded with figures he did not know where to get:

"An average of three fire deaths per week are caused by crinolines, which is enough to shock the empty-headed ladies of the privileged class."

-

At this time, a certain empty-headed Miss Williams suppressed her shame and strenuously left the gate, because this kind of skirt with a diameter of more than two meters made people have to be cautious when entering and exiting the building.

"Miss Williams, Miss Mephisto, do I need a carriage for you?"

"It's not necessary."

Ling's back blocked An Nai's line of sight, and she waved her hand to signal the other party not to follow them.

The short-haired girl joked because she had also read that report.

"Ella, you are too light, maybe you will be blown up by the wind. I remember that the two girls who fell into the water were wearing six-meter skirts. It was like going out for a walk on a hot air balloon!"

Ella raised her eyebrows, she thought Ling's joke made her laugh completely.

"What you should say is that when the time comes, you will hold my hand tightly!"

Ella, who didn't plan to delve into Ling's mistake, finally moved herself out.

But the name that appeared in that report reminded her of another thing she needed to do in Paris.

Captain Dreyfus and his sister - these two were friends of Abigail Cain when he settled in Paris under the false identity of Fittilly, and Ella remembers that she was still at the Iris Manor Been to parties with them.

Fetili Hage will never return to this city in the future, but the network of relationships she has established still exists, at least some of which need to be dealt with.

For example, people in the newspaper office may be worrying about the delay in waiting for the new manuscript of the writer Fittili.

The housekeepers and servants in the Iris Manor will be nervous because the master has not returned it, and no one will pay them a new round of salary.

If it was the girl of the dirty blood who was occasionally naive, what would she do in the face of these troublesome situations?

Ella turned her head to look at the empty 29 Champs Elysees.There seemed to be a guy with long platinum blonde hair in a black men's evening dress standing on the balcony there, and she apologized and bowed to Ella with an embarrassed face.

"I'm sorry, I really can't do anything. Can you please help me deal with it?"

Ella looked away blankly, shook her head and smiled.If it were that guy, he would have shamelessly asked her.

This can be regarded as the last bit of aftermath work done for a friend.

-

Ella, who left a ready-made hat shop, was finally freed from her shackles. The corseted crinoline skirt and several other selected clothes will be sent back to No. 30 of the Champs Elysees by the waiter.

Although Ella had made up her mind not to wear it, the girl had no habit of wasting things.

The silver-haired girl is now wearing a neutral brown deerstalker hat, a simple double-layered gray shawl and a gay-style coat that facilitates movement.

The former is not common on the streets of Paris. It is a style that can be seen occasionally in the countryside or pastoral areas of England, which evokes a little memory of Ella's hometown.It is said that a detective who has recently risen to fame abroad is quite fond of it.

"Should we go back, or pick up a few more pieces?"

Looking at the dessert shop and cafe across the street, Lingwen,

"Or we should go get something to eat before continuing."

It was only then that Ella realized that she hadn't told the other party what she had just thought, which made Ling pause for a few seconds, she nodded and her expression became serious.

This is really a depressing topic, just like the executor will face the victim or the family members of the companion after the mission is over.

"You have a point... we should say goodbye for her, but have you thought about how to explain this?"

Ella shook her head, she just had some vague plans.

"I haven't thought about it in detail yet. Let's go to the cafe opposite to discuss it."

Chapter No.16 A Farewell Belongs to Someone

"Mr. Haji, do you really want to terminate your contract with us?"

The editor of the middle-aged newspaper with gold-rimmed glasses stared wide-eyed. It was not easy to get a serial position with them.This is not something that can be done with money or relationships.

Generally speaking, if the other party has not submitted a new draft for more than two months, he should have unilaterally canceled the contract long ago.But this maple leaf of Montreuil is quite a best-selling author, and the stories he wrote had extremely high popularity in the past, which is why the former is willing to wait for a result.

"Yes, very sorry."

"I'm going to travel far and wide to find some new inspiration."

This is what some writers with eccentricities often say, whether the real reason is related to it or not, but the middle-aged man knows the hidden meaning of the other's words.

"Is that so, there is no way... If you have any new works in the future, you can contact me at any time."

The young writer paid a liquidated damages according to the contract, and then left the middle-aged man with a face full of regret, holding down the top hat on his head and leaving the gate of the newspaper office.

Colonel Anthony Dreyfus rode a black steed on the small island on the north bank of the Seine River. Although he was born in the navy, it is little known that Colonel Dreyfus's equestrian skills are also similar to those of his sailors. Skills are equally superb.

It might seem indecent to visit an old friend's mansion on horseback, but for more than three months his friend and wealthy businessman Fitili Haj seemed to have evaporated, no matter what the channel. Didn't find anything about the latter either.

So after receiving Hajie's invitation, he didn't even have time to notify his sister Ajani Dreyfus or the Milliers, who were also friends of the other party, and rushed over in the fastest way.

The sound of horseshoes behind him made him frown slightly and stop. This island in the middle of the lake is located in a remote location and belongs to Hajie's private property. Generally, few people come to this kind of place.

A four-wheeled carriage came slowly and stopped alongside him.Kate Millier, with curly blonde hair and a mustache on her upper lip, opened her car window.

"Anthony, have you also received the invitation letter from Fittili Hage?"

His residence is closer to the island in the middle of the lake than the former, so even in a carriage, he arrived almost at the same time as the other party.

But this does not mean that Kate cares less, because as an investment businessman involved in the Baron Ottoman's reconstruction plan and responsible for a considerable area, it is not easy to spare time in such a critical time.

"Yes, it seems to be true—I've been worried that something happened to him, after all, the guy has been missing for almost four months."

Colonel Dreyfus breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed.

"Who says no! Although he is a rare warm-hearted friend, it is precisely because of this enthusiasm that Hajie has met too many ladies and ladies who should not have known each other. I thought it would be some angry Mr. tied him up and threw him into the Seine."

Kate, with a serious personality, didn't mean to be joking, but had a serious expression, like a fighter about to rush to the battlefield.

"As a true friend, I will try to persuade him to settle down this time."

While talking, the two of them drove side by side to Eres Manor, which is famous for its irises.

-

Because of her familiarity with the two, Ella chose to use the confusion spell to temporarily disguise herself as Fitili in men's clothing, and disguised Ling as the "Yosef Bell" she had used before.

Before sending out the invitation letter, Ella had told Ling all the information needed and had done sufficient rehearsals.

The human skin mask that can perfectly restore the personality and subtle habits has been lost, so in order to appear as real as possible, they must be more cautious.

However, there is almost no risk of exposure. Even if the other party really becomes suspicious, Ella can use hints to influence the other party's judgment to a certain extent.

"Oh, Hajie and Bell! Where have you been during this time? If Hajie's housekeeper hadn't shown me the news that you were going to travel, I would have called the police!"

Colonel Dreyfus gave a hug to his friends whom he had not seen for a long time, but the touch made him feel a little strange, as if the other party was thinner and slender than the naked eye.But this sense of disobedience quickly dissipated, it should be just his illusion.

The owner of this manor replied in a brisk tone:

"We recently went to San Francisco to do a detailed inspection. It is indeed a novel place full of gold. Bell and I plan to stay there to find new opportunities."

"But before that, I need to come back and take care of everything here."

Dreyfus and Kate looked at each other, seeing surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes at the same time.

They spoke to dissuade them almost at the same time.

"It's not necessary, Hajie."

"Paris is getting better and better, and it is also full of gold. Mr. Baron is completing a great construction that is destined to be recorded in history. Why do you have to leave at this time?"

This camouflage made Ayla feel a little tired, and he imitated Fitili's accustomed expression.

"Don't do this, friends. Your persuasion will make us feel embarrassed. Ha Jie and I both feel that we have fallen in love with that land. This is a deliberate decision."

This is Yusef Bale in a Flagg jacket and leggings.

What the friend said after his return completely broke the imagination of the colonel and the investment businessman, which blocked what they originally wanted to say.

After a long time, Anthony Dreyfus sighed and shook his head with a wry smile:

"Your thinking is always so elusive, making it difficult to figure out, and the decisions made by men cannot be easily dissuaded by others-so, did you invite us here today to hold a farewell banquet?"

Ella, who disguised herself as the owner of the manor through the confusion spell, nodded.

"Yes, but the banquet will have to wait for a while, at least until your sister Adjani and Madame Millier arrive. It would be a shame if we can't meet before leaving Paris."

At this point, Ella suddenly no longer felt that this kind of drama was a burden.She already understood what the real Fitili would do, and what kind of expression she would show at this moment. This no longer required guesswork, but a natural expression.

"Fitili Hajie" smiled lonely,
