Chapter 1011: Military Intelligence Section 6 and Gray Gloves

~11 min read 2,071 words

"I remember it's meowing like a cat, three short and one long, repeated twice."

It's hard to say whether it's more embarrassing to be discovered by others as an agent or to be seen by others meowing like a cat. Xia De thought in his heart, returning to the lecture hall along the small road. After climbing in through the window at the end of the corridor, he wrote a note in the corridor, specifying the location and time of the bomb, and then pursed his lips, trying his best to imitate the meowing sound.

Because he lived with a cat, he thought he imitated it quite well.

Although meowing like a cat in the building was not common, it could also be regarded as a wild cat breaking in. After calling, Xia De quickly dropped the note on the ground and then left from the other side of the corridor.

Soon, hearing the meowing sound, the guard who came to check the situation alone saw Xia De walking from the direction of the washroom. The two discovered the note together, picked it up to check, and after seeing the content of the note, the guard's eyes widened sharply.

"Sir, whether this is true or false, you need to notify your superior as soon as possible."

Xia De was calm in the face of danger and informed the other party of his identity:

"I am Hamilton of Lei Lei Jiede. Quick, tell your superior about this. Who is in charge here? I will take responsibility, evacuate the crowd as soon as possible."

Saying this, he also straightened his tie to make his image look taller.

The two soon returned to the entrance of the No. 3 Lecture Hall, and Xia De's identity was indeed very useful. The note attracted attention. At this time, Princess Lei Lei Qianya had also sent her personal maid to check the situation at the entrance of the lecture hall. After asking the guards at the door about the situation, the maid immediately panicked and returned to the Princess's side, holding the hem of her skirt.

"Sorry, I think I have to rudely interrupt."

So, while the gentleman on the podium was using chalk to calculate the conduction formula, Princess Lei Lei Qianya stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone:

"Now, everyone leave here. Yes, immediately."

Although they didn't know what had happened, since the Princess spoke, people walked out quickly and orderly. Fortunately, including the visiting delegation, envoys, dignitaries from the Tobesk City Hall, and accompanying professors from the school, there were not many people in the lecture hall, so it took only two or three minutes for everyone to withdraw to the corridor.

It was not until this time that people finally learned about the note with bomb information. Princess Lei Lei Qianya asked for the note, and after seeing it, her whole body trembled.

She looked at Xia De with sharp eyes, her mouth opened, and she had countless questions she wanted to ask, but at this time, the muffled explosion sound from the lecture hall and the subsequent bursts of screams also made the Princess unable to talk to Xia De. She was protected by guards and quickly passed through the corridor to leave here. No one could guarantee that there were no other bombs.

The timed bomb placed was a small bomb made in a manual workshop, and its power was not great. But the explosion of the bomb still caused huge panic, so much so that the academy visit trip this morning was directly canceled.

Everyone present, including Xia De, who had just returned from the washroom, was searched and interrogated. Xia De and that guard were even questioned separately because they were the first to discover the note. At this time, the carriage carrying Princess Lei Lei Qianya had already left here, and those gentlemen who had scheduled to play Luo De cards with Xia De also had to give up the plan to play cards and dispersed with the shocking news.

"Any discoveries?"

At 12:10 PM, Director Director Anluosi took Xia De out of the Ridewich Field. This matter was transferred from the police to the Military Intelligence Section 6, and Xia De, who was suspected, was naturally released immediately.

He himself threw the paper note to make a sound to attract people to discover the bomb, of course, it was possible, but after attracting Princess Lei Lei Qianya's attention through the secret code of Gray Hawk, the Military Intelligence Section 6 naturally suspected the Gray Gloves, and did not think that this matter had anything to do with the loyal "Hamilton of Lei Lei Jiede."

Xia De nodded, boarded the carriage home with Director Director Anluosi at the entrance of the Ridewich Field. The carriage moved forward slowly, and Xia De said the facts he had woven:

"Before discovering the note, I also heard the meowing sound. But when I saw the note, there was no one else in the corridor except for that young guard."

Da Ke Director Anluosi, who was usually in a normal mood, had a somewhat gloomy face at this time:

"That guard is a Royal Guard, and his ancestors for three generations can be checked. He has no problem. The note wrote the location of the bomb, the person who dropped the bomb belonged to the Lamia Principality, and there was a dead doorman opposite. That note is the key, but it was taken away by Lei Lei Qianya. There is sufficient reason to believe that the person who wrote the note is from the 'Gray Gloves'."

Xia De controlled himself not to let the corners of his mouth show a smile. His colleagues really suspected the wrong direction and suspected his other colleagues.

And Director Director Anluosi's unhappiness at this time was partly because Princess Lei Lei Qianya was assassinated, but more because the people of the Gray Gloves actually discovered this matter earlier than the people of the Military Intelligence Section 6:

"There was no one else in the corridor at the time. I think that guy must have run away from the window... Did you see any suspicious people afterward?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"When I walked out of the lecture hall in a mess with other visitors, speaking of which, I did see a stranger I wasn't very familiar with mixed in the crowd..."

He described the specific image of the "other party":

"It was a man, probably in his twenties, at least looking like he was in his twenties. His body shape was about the same as mine, and the style of his clothes was about the same, but I didn't see the other party's face clearly. I was curious about who that was at the time, but he disappeared in the crowd very quickly."

"That agent must have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped."

Director Director Anluosi took a deep breath:

"This matter cannot be suppressed. Tomorrow's front-page headline will probably be that lecture hall where the explosion occurred."

He rubbed his eyebrows, so Xia De asked curiously:

"This assassination should be able to catch the relevant personnel very quickly, right?"

"I don't worry about this. The rebel organization of the Lamia Principality will not escape this time. I worry about the Gray Gloves. Obviously, the other party's power in Tobesk exceeds the original expectation. Although the other party did a good thing indirectly this time, it cannot be guarded against... If there was no evidence, I would even suspect that the damn Gray Hawk appeared again."

The carriage stopped, and Director Director Anluosi prepared to get off. Xia De looked out of the carriage window. At this time, he had reached the street corner of St. Deran Square. Director Director Anluosi was probably going to go directly to the Yodel Palace to report to Larus III next, and what he should get was a scolding.

"Xia De, for the next few days, you need to follow Princess Lei Lei Qianya as much as possible. I suspect this matter is not over yet. I will organize people to be responsible for her safety, but you need to pay attention to who has contact with her. I heard that you have a good relationship with her? If possible, it is best to get that note back."

Director Director Anluosi ordered Xia De from the carriage window:

"After Princess Lei Lei Qianya and her party leave, I will arrange your promotion."

Xia De had no reaction to the promise of "promotion," but asked:

"Will Her Highness continue the visiting itinerary this afternoon?"

"No, all itineraries need to be reviewed again. If something similar happens again, it will be an international scandal."

But in fact, with the power of the bomb today, it could not harm Princess Lei Lei Qianya, who was five rows away from the seventh row, not to mention that as a four-ring Ring Mage, the bomb of that power would certainly not be a fatal injury even if it exploded at her feet. It was just that people didn't know the Princess's power, and wouldn't care about the specific parameters of the bomb, only caring that "Princess" and "bomb attack" were linked together.

"Tonight, as usual, everyone today will be invited to attend the banquet. Princess Lei Lei Qianya needs to appease those who were unfortunately involved in the incident because of her."

Director Director Anluosi said:

"Xia De, will you go?"

"Of course I will go. I think that Princess probably also wants to chat with me."

Xia De nodded, and Director Director Anluosi showed a smile:

"Originally, I promised Miss Jia Lin Na to let you join the Section 6, just to let you... I will personally apologize to the Duchess, but you are really excellent, young man, really excellent."

The steam bomb attack case that occurred in the lecture hall of the Third National Mechanical Academy spread throughout the city in just a few hours in this era where communication methods were not developed. Duo Luo Qian naturally learned the news from Xia De who returned home for the first time, and then exchanged souls, letting Lei Lei Qianya, who had been dealing with things at the Yodel Palace all morning, know the specific situation.

Among the friends around him, only Doctor Shi Nai De clearly knew that Xia De inherited the title of "Gray Hawk," and even Lei Lei Qianya only knew that Xia De was working for the Military Intelligence Section 6.

Actually, with the relationship between Xia De and Lei Lei Qianya, it didn't matter if he told her about "Gray Hawk," but Xia De was determined to protect the Princess during Princess Lei Lei Qianya's visit to repay the detective Sparrow Hamilton's kindness, and then abandon this identity. And once he told Lei Lei Qianya about the identity of "Gray Hawk," Lei Lei Qianya would definitely use this identity to do something.

Rather than telling Lei Lei Qianya the truth and letting Lei Lei Qianya choose between him and her own ambition, it was better to say nothing, just like his promise to detective Sparrow, letting this middle-aged man sleeping in a foreign country get peace.

So, Xia De decided to be the bad guy himself.

But even thinking about repaying detective Sparrow's kindness, Xia De didn't lie to Lei Lei Qianya. He told this matter from the perspective of a bystander and told Lei Lei Qianya everything he learned by touching the soul and feeling the memories.

The Princess naturally heard that the "I saw someone" in Xia De's mouth actually referred to himself.

The blonde girl held her face and tilted her head to look at Xia De:

"It seems you have some little secrets you don't want me to know."

"I want to maintain another person's reputation."

Xia De said, hesitated for a moment, and added:

"After Princess Lei Lei Qianya leaves, I will tell you what I hid this time, just hope you won't be too surprised... well, you will definitely be surprised."

"As long as your secret is not that you are actually a woman, I won't be surprised by anything."

Lei Lei Qianya said with a smile, her hand reached down, her eyes looking at Xia De, and she said softly:

"Hiding secrets from your own Princess is a knight's misconduct, I will punish you." ===== CHAPTER 1012 =====
