Chapter 562 "Grey Owl" Final Mission

Follow the idea to match numbers with book words Correspondence, but in the final list of six books and numbers corresponding to the probability, none of them are meaningful sentences.

"Well, I guessed wrong. Is the idea completely wrong, or is it more complicated than I thought?"

I thought that this matter has nothing to do with myself, and try again , if not, burn the letter. So Shade observed the characteristics of those numbers again, and when he saw the last digit of each group of numbers, he thought:

"Could it be that the last digit not only corresponds to the book number, but also corresponds to the shift? The number one means searching. After reaching the corresponding word, skip to the next word?"

This idea has no basis, but try it without the gold pound. So he tried twelve more probabilities according to "move one or two or three words forward" and "move one or two or three words back".

Although the sentence on a page of densely packed is still meaningless, Shade sees some clues:
""The Western Front Supplement" corresponds to 1, "The Queen and Her Lovers" "corresponds to 2, "silver's Knight" corresponds to 3, after finding the word, shift the corresponding number of digits backward, although this arrangement is still not an understandable sentence, but after skipping those words corresponding to '2', see It seems to be interesting. Could it be."

Shade's eyes widened slightly:

"Numbers 1 and 3 correspond to moving backwards; number 2 corresponds to forwards. Move?"

Shade felt as though heat were gushing out of his back, and then realized it was the cat's tail running over his shoulders sweeping his back.

Excited, he couldn't wait to translate again. At this time, you only need to re-find the word corresponding to the last digit "2" in the first 10 groups of words. Then, the first ten words form a sentence and a half:
Grey-headed eagle, the original emergency mission notice
"Oh, that's easy."

An uncontrollable smile appeared on Shade's face, looking at the alarm clock on the desktop, it was eleven o'clock in the morning:
"What a fun morning. ."

[But meaningless. ]

"Yes, meaningless, but very interesting. I'm still pretty smart. And boring."

He got great satisfaction from this puzzle game Sense:

"However, grey eagle? Yes, I have heard of this code name."

Looking at the misty plaza outside the window and thinking for a moment, eyes slightly narrowed:

"I went to get my salary a month ago. Mr. Giles Johnson mentioned that this is Carsenrick's ace agent. MI6 received news two years ago that Carsenrick secretly Two ace agents from the Grey Gloves were dispatched to lurk in Tobeysk. One was caught half a year ago, but the other committed suicide. The other is the owned 'Grey-Owl'." (Chapter 368)
Although he was an opponent of the Sixth Division, Mr. Johnson's tone at that time also expressed his admiration for the agent. Grey-headed eagles have done quite a few things, the theft of special alloy records in the steel capital city of Gondor, the gold robbery ten years ago, the accident at Coldwater Harbor shipyard eight years ago
When Shade will sound omnipotent , But when the unknown trump card agent overlapped with the poor detective who died in a foreign land, in an inexplicable sense of dislocation, he actually felt that the two should be the same person.

"Sparrow Hamilton, is that Carson Rick's ace agent Grey Hood?"

He sat on a chair and hugged the cat, looking towards the window:
"It's so amazing, there are so many wonderful stories, but he still died here because of ridiculous reasons. No one except me can even know where he was buried."

Thinking like this, It's really sad.

"The first time I heard about 'Grey Owl' was at the 'Lucky' dinner at Lakeview Manor. I also heard a lot that night, which turned out to be directly related to me. so that's how it is, it turned out that the clues had already been obtained at that time. Sparrow grey-headed eagle.” (Chapter 74)
Although the time spent by the stranger and the living Detective Sparrow did not exceed ten minutes in total, He still misses the detective very much. After the detective's death, he pieced together the clues step by step. Now, the life of the detective who is also a foreigner has been roughly restored. Shade can only say that this world is too cruel for an ordinary person. and dangerous.

The secret letter in his hand is a mission order for Agent Grey Owl to use the top tier he has acquired over three years of stalking Tobesque before the end of the Ayutthaya Rod tournament in the fall of 1853. Contacts, in the case of ensuring their own safety, try their best to contact Virgil Cameron, a court jester from the dukedom of Seth.

In the order, the gray-headed eagle must personally get a secret letter from Virgil Cameron and send it to the determined location according to the regulations.

"Where is the location that has been determined? This is not important, but it seems that this is really an amazing task to let the gray-headed eagle take the risk of revealing his identity and go to collect the secret letter in person."

Shade in the heart sighed, but thought of the order given to him by Chief Anlos:

"Director Anlos said that the Sixth Division suspected this Virgil Cameron. Ron, will meet with the Kasenricks in the finals of the Ayutthaya players, and let me monitor each other as much as possible; and what Kasenrick has me do now is to obtain and deliver a secret letter. So, six places This time I really got the right information, and the dukedom of Seth really has a connection with the Kasenrik people."

He seemed to have become a key figure in this mission, more precisely, Shade has already It can be said that he can lead the development of this event.

"But the gray-headed eagle should not have been aware of the six, who wanted to connect with Cameron, because the gray-headed eagle was only ordered to do it before the end of the big city player, not As I learned from the six sources, I did this in the finals of the big city players. Hmm"

He looked at the envelope, put the cat on the table, got up to get the brazier, and lit the envelope And after the stationery, watch them burn to ashes.

Shade wasn't going to do it because he had absolutely no reason to do it, and Detective Sparrow just told him to burn the letter. He didn't even plan to tell MI6 what he had learned, which would cause him to explain more things.

"I haven't read the letter, I don't know who Sparrow Hamilton is, I just continue to run the detective agency after Sparrow Uncle. I know the orange cat Mia, but I don't know about gray eagles."

Shade in the heart whispered to herself.

Because of "The Whispering Poetry" and the chosen person, he has enough troubles, but he must not be involved in the matter of foreign spies.

After burning the envelopes and stationery, I was planning to take the cat to eat out. It was a celebration and I finally settled all the contacts with Detective Sparrow. This mission that lasted for two and a half months is over. He can also be regarded as the true inheritor of all the detective's legacy.

But thinking of the burned envelope, the 8-digit password seems familiar. Then I remembered that on the weekend when Laccia returned to Tobesque, Shade was hit by someone while waiting for the carriage to pick up at Silver Cross Alley, and then picked up a newspaper, which also said something similar. password.

"Is there such a thing?"

He was sitting on the chair in front of his desk and recalled that day.

Dorothy told him the way to connect with the carriage was to wear grey gloves on both hands and an animal brooch on her chest. The brooch was a brass brooch in the image of an eagle that Shade found in the bedroom desk of the late Detective Sparrow.

"Hmm"

Later, he met President Stan of the Prophet Society on Silver Cross Avenue. Of course, Shade would not say that he was waiting for Laccia Princess, so he made nonsense. I'm on a detective mission and ready to join.

So President Stan gave Shade a divination on the spot, and gave Shade "wear the grey gloves upside down, replace the newspaper in his hand with "Three Pence", and buy a red rose to take it. in hand" suggestion.

"Is there such a thing?"

President Stein is the best fortune-teller in the Tobesque area, and the fortune-telling he once gave Shade about "Knight" is very accurate . And if President Stan was really divination on "how to make the Shade connection more smoothly" that day, then the suggestions he gave might really be helpful to the "connection".

Thinking of this, Shade flipped through the bookshelf behind him and found the newspaper he brought back that day. After copying down the digital password on the edge of the newspaper, he cracked it according to the rules just obtained, and then he actually got a complete sentence:
[Confirmed that the gray-headed eagle made a single-line contact request, and now gives the information network of dynamic changes— —]

This is the sentence on the upper edge of the first page, which means that the person who lost the newspaper didn't know the true identity of "Grey-Headed Eagle" because he didn't see through Shade. As for Detective Sparrow, it seems that he can only receive information and cannot take the initiative to communicate, so he cannot report his own death.

[The special mission that will be carried out in September, there is currently no information change. If you give up the task, please go to the old place tomorrow night and write Delarion - eternal loyalty. If the task is not carried out and no response is given, it will be deemed that your identity has been exposed, and please evacuate by yourself. ]

This is a sentence on the lower edge of the first edition, and "tomorrow night" is long past.

Shade finally knew why he was asked to burn the letter. Of course, if Detective Sparrow doesn't find anyone and just dies, it seems okay, but the detective is probably worried about the sudden closure of the detective office in the city center, or the strange change of ownership of this "haunted house", causing a military situation Six points of attention.

From the location and identity of the neighbors, this is almost certain. Therefore, they found Shade, a person with "some problems with their heads", and temporarily operated for three months. When everything was disappeared, the Grey Gloves also gave up the "Grey Owl" who had not responded for a long time, and all this was over.

"It's really 'eternal loyalty'."

Shade sighed.

【The information you have obtained, please pass it on to No. 1 Vic Street before the harvest month, and receive a 2,000-pound action fund this year. ]

“2000?”

Shade now knows that the detective agency in Sparrow’s era was only doing pet searches and mistress investigations, so how could it still support his high-end consumption of black tea.

[Are you going to pick up the 2,000 pounds? ]

"Of course not, I'm now playing a loyal Delarion man, how can I pass information to the enemy country?"

【The truth? ]

"I'm not short of money now, and I don't need to get into trouble for £2,000. However, the address is not written on the order. Detective Sparrow must know the address, but for everyone else, Except that I happened to bump into President Stan and get this secret information, or even if I get Mr. Cameron's secret letter, I can't get involved in this matter."

Then the newspaper published The last line of cipher text:
【If there is no special need, please do not enable the information network frequently. ]

This sentence is written in the cracks of the advertising area of the second edition.

Shade sighed and dropped the pen on the desk. "

He is very sure that what he has seen at present is only a corner of the complex intelligence system of Kasenrick's "Gray Gloves" organization. Detective Sparrow is dead, and no one can know the complex intelligence system. How does the system work?

However, what is certain is that Sparrow Hamilton's task is to hide for a long time. He cannot actively provide any information to his superiors, and even the superiors may not know his truth. His only role is to keep silent, accept the task, and then complete the task.

"This kind of spy is really good, if it weren't for some information, I can't think of an ordinary detective who would have Such an amazing identity background. ”

Thinking in my heart, I threw the newspaper and the translated text in my hand into the brazier and burned it to ashes.

In the light of the fire, the pages of the paper burned out little by little. Shade looked at the bright brazier and realized in a trance that the last traces of the former detective had also disappeared in this home.

He sighed softly:
"Farewell, Detective Sparrow Hamilton. . ”
