Chapter 10 Discovery(1/2)
Early in the morning, Harden's house visited Raschel's house.
Even though he was at home, Raschel was not free.
His study was filled with a whole bunch of files about Shuiglair.
What Raschel is now reading is the part about Harden's house in Southwell town.
Raschel's servant knocked on the door outside: "Master, Baroness Harden is here to visit you."
"Please come in." Raschel didn't raise his head.
After reading the last bit of information, Rasher walked out of the study.
Baron Harden's family of four were already waiting in Raschel's living room.
Seeing Raschel come out, the Baron honored Raschel with a very standard etiquette: "It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Raschel, I am William Harden, the one who has received your favor. This is my wife, Barmela and my two children, Julia and Tammy. We are here to express our gratitude to you, and hope that we will not disturb you. Since I received the inauguration letter in Southwell, I have been very frightened. I did not expect that I would have a chance to serve the Empire. Although I do not know why Mr. Raschel helped me so much, I still want to pay my highest respect to you on behalf of our family!"
Baron Harden said this, he was completely grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Raschel replied: "I'm glad to meet you, Baron Harden, Hello, beautiful ladies, and you, the lovely children."
"We are not children anymore." Julia didn't like the other person to call her.
"Shut up, Julia." Baron Harden scolded his daughter sternly, holding a top hat in his hand, and he could tell that he was a little nervous.
"There is no need to be too strict with the child." Rasher smiled and said, "You're welcome to sit down. Do you want something to drink?"
"Oh, thank you, no need." Baron Harden replied somewhat restrainedly.
"You're welcome, how about some coffee?"
"Then...well." Baron Harden nodded: "Let's have some juice, kids."
Rasher shaved the bell and the servant at home brought the drinks.
After taking a sip of coffee, Raschel said slowly: "I guess you must be surprised by my recommendation."
"…In fact, yes, Mr. Rasher. Marquis Barryman told me in the letter that the reason he decided to hire us was entirely from your recommendation. To be honest, this surprised me very much. In my memory, I don't remember that I had contact with you. I don't know how Mr. Rasher recommended me to the Marquis? But no matter what, I would like to express my gratitude for your help. You must know...we have indeed had some financial difficulties recently."
When the Baron said this last sentence, he was quite unable to speak.
"Yes, I understand your doubts. Although you don't know me, I know the Hardens very well. Oh, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. Jason; Raschel, currently serving in the Law and Political Department, is a small detective, but because of a big case recently, I have some small power in my hands, and some big people will occasionally give me some face."
After saying this, the Hardens' expressions changed at the same time.
"Oh, my God!" The Baroness stood up even more: "Are you from the Law and Political Department? What I should have thought of long ago is to repair Iglare again? Hell, the people from the Law and Political Department have looked for us countless times in the past six months. I also said more than once that we have not had any contact with him since he left Harden's house!"
"Madam, please don't be nervous. In fact, I don't intend to ask you any questions about Sullier. On the contrary, I believe that every word you said before, you know as much about Sullier as I do."
"Then why..."
"It's just an expression of apology." Rasher solemnly stated: "I know that the Harden family has had a hard time in the past six months. The agents of the Legal Affairs Office have seriously affected your lives. Some of the Baron's servants have even stopped working, the land is not cultivated, and economic difficulties have occurred. These are all caused by the damn Shio Glair, and of course we have our relationship. We have affected your normal life. So when I learned that Marquis Barryman needed a ritual tutor, I thought of you. I think this is an opportunity to make up for your mistakes."
"That's it?" Baron Harden was a little stunned.
"Of course, if you are willing to talk about Sulglair, I won't mind. Alas, you know that this kid is really a headache for me." Raschel made a helpless look: "Sometimes I really hope that you have missed some important clues, and then suddenly remember to tell me... Oh, don't be nervous, I said I won't interrogate you, everyone just chats casually. You should know that the agents of the Legal Affairs Office are sometimes too incompetent, and often they may not find any clues that are in front of you. But please believe me, this is not interrogation, just chatting casually, and then you go to the Marquis' house to do things, everything is that simple."
Raschel looked so sincere when she said this.
This made Baron Harden breathe a sigh of relief.
At least he is much easier to speak than the law and political consultants he has contacted before.
Of course, he also specially found a job with a good income for himself. Since this is the case, it doesn't matter even if he answers some questions.
Baron Harden said: "Okay, Mr. Raschel, if you want to hear it, I will speak for you."
"Although this may make you unhappy, I still have to say that Xiuyi is the most well-behaved child I have ever met. He is very sensible and steady. If you have anything to tell him to do, he will do it well..."
The person who spoke was Baroness Bamila. She was a little nervous, but noticed that her words did not dissatisfied Rasher. On the contrary, she gave her an encouragement smile, she began to become bold: "I don't know how Soiglair could become a wanted criminal in the empire and make such a good case. Could it be that the Law and Political Department made a mistake? You must know that he is still a child. He is very brave, and he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. When he was studying with Tammy, Tammy often laughed at him as timid as a girl."
"Oh? He is very timid?" Raschel was intrigued. These words were not in the file. Of course, that was because this was a personal evaluation. How dare the Hardens and his wife tell the truth when facing those agents of the Legal Affairs Office who were like wolves and tigers?
The lady nodded repeatedly: "Yes, every time Tammy bullies him, he will hide in the corner and cry secretly."
"He still loves to cry?" Raschel laughed.
It was really hard for him to associate a timid and crying Shuiglair with the Shuiglair who showed his arrogance in the central square and teased everyone.
They look so dissatisfied.
Raschel's smile further strengthened the wife's courage. The wife said, "Yes, so I usually take good care of him and don't allow Tammy to bully him. And Julia, she has a very good relationship with Xiuyi. When she was a child, Julia often took Xiuyi out to play. I often said that Julia's son was too wild, but Xiuyi was more like a girl. Later, his aunt sold him and he threw herself into my arms and cried. Oh my God, I really couldn't bear to leave him at that time."
"It doesn't sound like the Sulgil's I know." Raschel exclaimed and shook her head, but she felt suspicious.
He could see that at this moment, the Baroness was definitely speaking from the bottom of her heart.
But because of this, things seem strange.
It is hard to imagine a little boy who only knew to hide in the Baroness's crying nose four years ago, after being sold to Purgatory Island, suddenly became a boy who endured humiliation for four years, finally succeeded, broke out of Purgatory Island, and took revenge on the empire in a crazy way.
"As far as I know, the reason why he knew words was entirely what you taught him?" Raschel asked.
“Yes, that’s it.”
"So what kind of education did you give him during that time?"
"The same education as Tammy, some aristocratic education, although it is a bit old-fashioned, is a family tradition." The Baron quickly answered, and this question must be cautious. The Baron never wants to give the other party the feeling of teaching Shuyi that he was.
For this reason, he specifically said to his son: "Tami, tell Mr. Rasher what books you have read."
Tammy immediately replied: "Biography of the Empire, history of the Lance Empire, mobile phone access: 1m and some books on mathematics and philosophy, as well as some artistic appreciation."
"It's all about cultivating emotions, and there will be no bloody content." The Baron solemnly declared.
Raschel was a little surprised: "That's all?"
"Yes, Mr. Raschel." The lady answered with certainty.
"So have Shuiglair ever peeked at any banned books behind his back?"
The barons looked at their children at the same time. Tammy and Julia replied at the same time: "Absolutely not! We never read banned books."
"It's really interesting, so there are not some unofficial history and miscellaneous books?"
"No."
"Do you usually tell stories to the children?"
"rare."
“What are you talking about?”
The Baroness and the Couple gave a rough answer.
Raschel's brows became tighter and tighter.
His eyes emitted a ray of surprise: "This is so interesting."
"I don't understand, what are you referring to?" The Baron didn't understand why Raschel's face showed such a strange expression.
Only Rasher himself understood what he was surprised about.
Some things are not secrets after all.
For example, the relationship between the little princess and Shuiglair.
According to the information he knew, the reason why Shuiglair was able to make the little princess look at him differently was that in addition to his ability to speak, the most important thing was that his mind seemed to contain endless stories and rich life concepts. This made the little princess always have endless novel stories when she was with him.
Raschel originally thought that these were taught to him by the Baroness.
But the answer he got was not like this.
At this moment, Raschel thought carefully for a while before asking carefully: "So, have you heard of Hamlet's story?"
The Barons and their family looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Where is Romeo and Juliet? Snow White? Sleeping Beauty..." One story after another popped up from Raschel's mouth.
It was what Xiu Yi told Avril at the time.
After Avril returned from Purgatory Island for the second time, she told her father the stories she knew one by one. Even when she gave the emperor a new clothes, the emperor laughed happily.
Padgett had also heard of these stories, so Rasher had also heard of them. What surprised him was that although he was quite knowledgeable, he had never heard of these stories told by Sue.
He thought it was written by the Baron or the Baroness for Shuyi. Judging from the quality of these stories themselves, it was definitely not something that a young man could make up, so he didn't care too much. But now, he found that this was far from it.
None of these stories had been heard by the Baron family.
They stared at Rasher in a daze.
"That's interesting." Rasher asked in disbelief: "If you hadn't taught him, how could he tell so many stories from the time he left the mansion and was sent to the island?"
Some answers may never be found, but some questions, which were not necessarily what he was looking for, were found by accident.
At that moment, Julia suddenly shouted: "Oh, there is a story I've heard."
"What story?" Raschel was stunned.
"It's the story of King Lear." Julia shouted.
The Baroness was surprised: "What's that story? Julia, I told you, don't just go to the outside b>1 3 watch website/b> is not suitable for you to watch."
Tammy quickly replied: "No, mother, she didn't come from books, but on the way we came. Do you still remember? We met a song and dance troupe. There was a play called King Lear."
