Mystery: Start with the Reader

East Chester County, in the castle of the Hall family.

"Failed again... Who would have thought that that woman would blow up art galleries and airships just because she thought the paintings were fake...

"What's even more frightening is that as an 'audience', I didn't see that Conan was the murderer at all before she revealed the truth...even though I was sealed with extraordinary abilities such as 'mind reading'...

"Does this mean that my research on psychology is actually just superficial, and the achievements I thought I had before were all due to the addition of extraordinary abilities?"

Audrey lay on the bed with her blue eyes unfocused, constantly reviewing herself.

After a while, she stood up, walked to the door, and smiled at the golden retriever sitting outside:

"Susie, Esilante is still in the Antiquities Collection and Protection Fund, so you don't have to keep acting like a hound?"

When Susie heard Esilante's name, she looked around warily, then sniffed and said:

"Audrey, as a dog, I think it is necessary to maintain such vigilance."

Isn't it because last time I couldn't help but be curious and asked Esilante to show how to feed the box with "canned wolf fish"? Although the smell is really bad, the entire process of Esilante is operated in a sealed pool. I don't think it is as unacceptable as Mr. "Ta" and others described...

Audrey cursed a few times and said with a smile:

"Dog? Didn't you say last time that overly repetitive words can easily allow others to grasp your own habits and psychological activities?"

Susie responded seriously:

“From the last canned wolf fish incident, I have actually clearly realized that humans and dogs are different!

"Even though I can now read independently and understand human thinking...but physiologically, it's still completely different!"

Audrey was a little confused when she heard it, and asked doubtfully: "Susie, what do you want to say?"

"Audrey, I don't want to be a dog! I want to be a lady with a less sensitive nose." Susie said, wagging her tail.

...Audrey couldn't find the words to respond for a moment, and it took her a long time to finally say: "Susie, don't watch such boring things if you have nothing to do."

"But this is a line from a newly released movie." Susie corrected.

"So you are really kidding..." Audrey tried hard to keep the smile on her lips and not let it collapse.

"Humor is the first step to becoming a lady." Susie said seriously.

"Where is this line?" Audrey asked after thinking for a while.

"Sentences from a new book written by Forse Wall." Susie jumped up on the desk, took a book in her mouth and said.

"Uh...how do I remember that sentence is 'Humor is the first step to becoming a lady'?" Audrey glanced at the book and said thoughtfully.

"Don't this mean the same thing?" Susie shook her tail, her eyes full of confusion.

"Of course not!" Audrey perked up and was about to give her golden retriever a grammar lesson. But at this moment, she saw Earl Hall leading a valet and a valet along the road. Climb the castle stairs.

Even though it was sunny outside, it was still dark and dim here. There were even candlesticks that were lit, embedded in the wall, illuminating the steps.

"This castle is so old. I think it needs a major renovation." Earl Hall complained to his daughter casually.

Audrey nodded reservedly and said:

"Yes, dear Count, that's exactly why I don't like it here. It makes me feel like I'm slowly rotting away."

"But I actually spend 13,000 pounds on repairs here every year." Earl Hall sighed with a smile.

Then, he talked to his daughter about the sale of shares in the bicycle company, and came up with the idea of ​​not spending too much money, just getting the shares from a bank mortgage loan, then using the shares as pledge, and continuing to take out loans to repay the previous loan.

"The reason why I think you should buy shares of this company is because, in my opinion, this industry has a very bright future, and it is far from meeting the minimum expectations. Investing in it can make your assets Continued appreciation.

"Secondly, as far as I know, the shares sold this time belong to a detective named Sherlock Moriarty... But that's not the point. The point is that the person who sold the shares on his behalf is the newly promoted Viscount Abner. Blaine!

"Haha, they are both detectives and they should have known each other before, so Detective Sherlock asked Viscount Braine to sell it on his behalf, right?

“But no matter what the reason is, this is actually a very good opportunity to get in touch with the newly promoted viscount.

"I have always wanted to talk to this influential figure in the kingdom to see if we can cooperate... Unfortunately, I missed it several times before."

What he missed was the time at Duke Negan's ball.

Audrey's heart moved when she heard this. She remembered Mr. Tower's commission and asked tentatively: "Dad, are you very optimistic about that Viscount? Do you want to invest in Beldan?"

Earl Hall shook his head, looked at his daughter with a smile and said: "I am optimistic about his film and television company.

“In other words, it’s its extremely professional and complete operating model and management structure, as well as its theater chains all over the world.

“This is also something that other later film and television companies are extremely lacking... It is conceivable that no one can compete with it in the next ten or twenty years.

"In addition, the profitability of film and television companies is secondary. I think everyone has underestimated the influence of such a film and television company that can release movies simultaneously across the continent.

“If it is used to convey a certain idea, the publicity effect it can have is probably even better than that of a newspaper.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t pay attention to this emerging industry at that time and missed the opportunity to invest in it.”

Audrey couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. This was the first time she heard her father praise a person or an industry so highly...

Although it was still a bit unimaginable, she believed in her father's vision and understood the meaning of "publicity".

Didn't you expect Mr. "Tower"'s company to be so powerful? However, my father doesn’t seem to attach much importance to his Beldan plan... But I heard the prospect described by Mr. "Tower" before, and I thought it was very good...

While her thoughts were spinning, Audrey considered it and said, "But I think the Viscount's newly proposed 'Berdan Studios Plan' is quite good. Why not start from here and establish a friendship with Abner Brain?

"After all, bicycles are not his own industry."

Earl Hall smiled again and shook his head, saying meaningfully: "That plan is actually very interesting, but Beldan is too close to the sea."

Too close to Jianhai? What does it mean? When Audrey was confused, Earl Hall handed over another document and said with a smile: "So I also made a plan. After I buy the shares of the bicycle company and return to Backlund, you can consider it. Give it to your friend named Forsi and ask her to deliver it to Viscount Brain."

Audrey took it curiously and saw on the cover, "Proposal on the establishment of the 'Academy of Film and Television Arts and Sciences' and the establishment of the 'Film and Television Awards'".

Since you can't join, you can be a "referee", set rules, regulate the market, and indirectly gain influence in the film and television industry.

…

On Wednesday morning, after discussing with Fanny for a day and two nights, Abner finally figured out how to operate the Intis West Incident that was about to take place in the near future in order to maximize profits. Abner left Fanny's rented house and came to Terry. Er's "Brain Film and Television Company".

I spent the whole morning finalizing the project with Elaine for new films about the west, such as "The Saint of Toulon" and "The Cannon of Varesi" where heroines lead the people and the army to defeat cultists and demons. , and after preparing to cooperate with Fanny in building momentum at the right time, Abner asked Delphine, the "ancient scholar" of the Secret Order, to transform into Owen and act on his behalf in Trier.

And he himself teleported back to Backlund, because Xio had returned from East Chester, and she had gone through a high-intensity pursuit mission for more than a month, "punishing" all kinds of criminals, and was far away from completely digesting the "punishment" of Sequence 5. "Knight" is just one step away.
