Chapter 125 Audrey: I didn’t teach you that!
Old Blue was waiting in the main prayer hall of Holy Wind Cathedral early in the morning, waiting for Lieutenant Conse. After all, he was a good friend of Justice Audrey, so he had to take care of him because of this relationship.

But judging from the second lieutenant's performance last time... he is indeed a bit naive. It seems that he graduated from Tingen University? He joined MI9 directly after graduation. He is essentially a nobleman.

"Good morning, Lieutenant Cons. It's a rare sunny day in Backlund today." Old Blue greeted the young noble sitting on the same row of benches.

"Good morning, Mr. Blue, I apologize for my attitude yesterday, please forgive me." Cons's tone was gentle and his face showed guilt.

After leaving yesterday, he went to the Hall family's afternoon tea, where Audrey asked him a lot of questions and then gave him advice in return.

——Count Hall knew more about the recent situation in Backlund, so he was worried about his daughter's safety. He rejected all invitations to go out for her and only accepted visits from friends.

After returning home, he was lectured by his father, Viscount Learson, who told him to apologize to the Mandated Punisher who was traveling with him today...

But! I can get my revenge today! Smart Audrey always comes up with a good idea! Kang Si was full of confidence and said without waiting for the old man to reply:

"I think we should first find out the purpose of Qilingos coming to Backlund, and then gather strong men to ambush him! This way we can successfully kill or capture this despicable pirate alive!
"And I guess that in order for Qilingos, who is the 'Wind-loving One', to have such a strong desire, it must be related to the extraordinary promotion. Perhaps he came to Backlund to obtain the magic potion formula of the 'Ocean Singer' or even the magic potion itself.

"So, our next target of investigation should be the people in Backlund who have resources related to the 'Ocean Singer'. Qilingos must be lurking near them! This is the conclusion I have deduced from a series of intelligence and the capture method I have come up with!"

Audrey taught me the first half, but I came up with the second half! Kang Si raised his chin slightly, not hiding his pride at all. His knowledge and analytical ability should be better than Audrey's, right? He should have recovered the face he lost in front of the old man yesterday, right?

Old Blue's expression was a little distorted. Is this a funny character? Although he was always tricked by Audrey to get information out of him, and he was already a disgrace to the 9th Army Agents... but he still seemed like a serious person? Why did he suddenly become stupid when it came to him?

Thinking of the extra 100 pounds in Backlund's bank account that he checked at breakfast this morning, Old Blue fell into deep thought. It's not impossible to use this little money to accompany the young master to study. At least it comes from a legitimate source. It's his hard-earned money! So he said:

"Well, please allow me to compliment you on your analysis! This is truly a perfect deduction. I believe you are the best detective in Backlund, the one who is best at deduction!"

As he spoke, Old Blue handed over a file bag containing the information that had just been distributed that morning.

"Well, this is the latest news from Pritz Harbor. Our plundering captain has captured a group of pirates from the Hurricane. You know, once those guys land, they always go to places like the Red Theater and Red Boots for entertainment. It's easy to catch them.

"Storm above! We have the best navy and the most sacrificial captains!

"The results of the interrogation are roughly consistent with your analysis. Qi Lingos was trying to complete a commission. The specific content is unknown, but the reward for the mission is extremely tempting. According to the pirate's original words: After obtaining the reward item, the 'Four Kings' among the pirates will also become the 'Five Kings'."

Cons took the briefcase in astonishment, quickly untied the string, glanced at the paper with not many words on it, and his face turned red like a cooked prawn.

He couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Why didn't you take it out earlier? Are you making fun of me? And you're flattering me?"
How come the Church of the Storm is so fast? I just proposed a plan and they slapped the results of their investigation in my face! I heard that they are a bunch of brawny men with no intelligence, but why do I feel like I can't keep up with their pace? !
Cons stood up suddenly. He was going to leave, to leave this place where he had lost face again.

But he immediately remembered the disappointed look in his Viscount father's eyes yesterday... Why? What was his father dissatisfied with me?
He looked down at the old Punisher sitting on the inside of the bench and found that the old man's deep blue eyes did not have the turbidity typical of an old man, but were instead so clear... There was no teasing, no mockery, only the tolerance of the sea and the purity of the sky.

Conse was stunned. He had seen such eyes before... When he made mistakes as a child, his father, the Viscount who did not have so many social events, would look at him with clear eyes, point out his mistakes, and guide him...

But at some point, the wise father's eyes became cloudy, and all he could see was his elder brother - the rightful and heir to the throne, the next Viscount Learson.

He sat down slowly, and the shame and embarrassment disappeared without a trace. The nobleman lowered his head and said earnestly:
“Mr. Blue…please forgive my arrogance and rudeness.

"I think I may not be that smart or good at reasoning. Please allow me to assist you, follow you, and learn from you..."

After saying that, Kang Si looked up at the old man, only to see a hint of surprise on the face of the senior Punisher, and then he put on a gratified smile and said:
“Emperor Roselle once said that being able to correct a mistake is better than not making it at all.

“There’s nothing wrong with your thinking. I’ve met some nobles in the navy, and the popular idea among you is: even if you encounter something you’re not good at, you should first pretend that you can handle it, then spend money to form a professional team, listen to their opinions, and then make a decision.

“This idea works very well in many areas, business, banking, etc., but not in the extraordinary field.

"In our field, if you are good, you are good, and if you are not good, you are not good. People who pretend to be good, well, you probably won't see them, because they won't live to see them today.

“It was good that you went to Detective Eisinger Stanton yesterday and listened to his advice, but you should not underestimate the capabilities and resources of the Church of the Storm. We also have the money and channels to complete these consultations.

"You should have just joined MI9? Or are you a graduate of Tingen University? Then we are quite predestined.

"Let me introduce myself again, Blue. You can call me Old Blue. I'm from Tingen, an ordinary Mandated Punisher. I've lived a long time. I'm only 73 years old."

Gulp! Kangs' throat felt a little dry. He felt the old man's momentum surge to an alarming level as he spoke these words.

Boom!Boom!
He heard a heartbeat like thunder. Unconsciously, he raised his right hand to his chest, but found that the thunder did not come from there at all.

His body was trembling with fear and excitement... He looked at the old man in front of him, as if he saw mountains and huge waves...

"So, Conse Leersen, are you interested in coming with me to catch a pirate?" The voice was still kind, but it sounded like thunder in Conse's mind.

"I, I do! Storm is above!" Cons showed the courtesy he used when facing the archbishop, and hit his left chest with his right fist, making a thumping sound.

At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about the old man in front of him. At this moment, he even wanted all his friends to meet this wise man and let this old man become his capital for showing off!
