Hodden is using psionic powers, but instead of coercion or hypnosis, he creates a soothing and relaxing environment for Alber's tense nerves to relax.From his eyes to his movements, from his expression to his tone, Horden's use of psionic energy is becoming more and more proficient, and his fingertips can't even detect the slightest superfluous movement, and that warm and lazy atmosphere quietly spreads in the conference room, not only Alber, but even Issa does not notice his emotional relaxation.Secret?
The secret is music!
After many attempts, Hodden noticed that the melody itself has the effect of transmitting emotions and soothing emotions, and the psionic effect can often be amplified, the most direct proof of which is the demonstration of the psionic circle in Professor Bertinos's first class, and the melody he hummed has such an effect.But the melody itself is too obvious - he can't take out a flute every time he plays against an enemy, or just sing every time he needs to plot against an opponent.Then Horden realized that the melody is actually hidden in the corners of life, not the "corner of life" that uses a glass to create a scale, but the ubiquitous fragments of sound, footsteps, breathing, hitting, etc., and most importantly, the words themselves.the use of vowels and consonants, the switching of onomatopoeia and interjections; And, of course, there's the intonation of the voice.These trivial details hidden in the dialogue can often create a hidden effect that is unexpected, and the situation can be controlled quietly.Originally, Horden had a vague concept in his mind, but then the principal of Tarbes Girls' High School brought inspiration to refine Horden's idea, using words as the main body, and at the same time assisting fingernails to hit the table, toes to collide with objects, breathing rhythm regulation, etc., to build an invisible space, and every move can convey the effect he wants."
Mr.
Alber, do you know Victor Miguel?"
The low and hoarse voice was like smoke and mist, Holden's eyes were hidden in the halo, it was difficult for others to capture accurate eyes, only a vague emotional feeling, and the thoughts were dragged into the mire little by little, not hypnosis, just a kind of traction."
Victor Miguel."
Alber's mind was slowly drawn into the depths of his memory."
Of course I do.Our senior engineer, an arrogant and proud fellow, could not accept that a woman would say no to him, for all women were bound to fall for him; Who knows?
As a result, he died suddenly, without any reason, and we were all terrified when the bad news came. ”Alber's gaze looked at Holden, "What, does this have anything to do with my case?"
”Hodden only guided Albert's thoughts and did not forcibly control them, and it was precisely because of this that he was silent, neither Alber nor Issa noticed the anomaly, "Judging from the current situation, we suspect that Victor Miguel's death may also be related to this case, after all, this is a case involving 30,000 crowe." ”A little reluctant to explain, but Alber was not suspicious, "Even if it is involved, I am not surprised, he has always been their darling, I mean, Lovett and Etaro are very fond of him, because he is a guy who understands the 'rules of the workplace', who can not love him?"
”As he spoke, Alber raised his hands and made a double quotation mark gesture to show his mockery."
They also once invited Victor to a mysterious dinner, which is rumored to be a private dinner for which only the true aristocracy and elite can receive invitations."
Victor accidentally missed the dinner, but then he realized his mistake and quickly shut his mouth.However, he also understands that the more he maintains a sense of mystery, the more he can prove that he is unique and high-class, and that the whole company has a unique treatment that cannot be attained by the whole company. ”Hodden could feel the afterglow of Issa's gaze, hot and cloudy, full of doubts and troubles—for Issa didn't understand what connection Victor's death had to do with the dinner, and what connection did the dinner party have to do with the fire in Viscount Philo's mansion?
Vaguely, Issa's instincts sniffed something unusual, but he couldn't say why.Hodden didn't turn his head, not that he didn't dare to face Isa, but looked at Alber with all his attention."
Dinner?
Oh?
The aristocratic dinner was held every three or five days, and indeed, it was an honor for anyone to be a guest. ”Hodden said in a gentle tone, with a shallow smile, but saw Alber shake his head slightly."
No, not the kind of public dinner, but the mystery dinner.We, the outsiders, are always outsiders and don't know anything.Victor didn't say much, mysteriously shrouded in a layer of fog, I am afraid that it was the dinner party of those nobles, and the object of the fun was ......"
Alber did not continue, but chuckled twice, revealing the meaning of "you know and I know"."
Once, however, when I was looking through the test report submitted by Victor, I accidentally flipped through a financial report and noticed at a glance that our company had a fixed monthly expense, three kilograms, payable to Mr.
Harfort, for at least a whole year, and the older financial report was archived separately.""
I made a private inquiry with Mr.
Harford, and it is clear that he is not an employee of our company and is not a customer of our company.""
My guess is that this should be Victor's own accidental discovery, and the results are mixed in the test report."
Alber smiled again, a bitter look welled up in his eyes, "I don't know what they're doing, I don't want to know, I can understand men's impulses and needs, so, they can enjoy themselves, I just want to do my job." ”So, I shut up, pretended I had never read the report, and returned it to Victor, telling him that there were many errors on the first page of the report, and asking him to revise it before submitting it to me.But I didn't wait for that report any longer, and he died three months later. ”"Of course, I myself was in a difficult situation, and all work was suspended."
The truth, at least partial, finally unfolded before Hoden's eyes, little by little.Despite the turbulence of his heart, but still calm on the surface, Holden quietly continued to ask, "Is this all?"
Is there anything else you know about Victor?
Especially a month before his sudden death. ”"No, sorry if this is related to the case, but sorry I wasn't able to help.Victor in the company......
Rarely talk about yourself.We have some speculation, but we don't know where to start. ”Alber lowered his gaze again, revealing a sad smile, "Does that mean we can't pull Anderson's guys off the horse?"
