Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the evening, Abner and Hugh met at the appointed place, and selectively told her what had happened in the past two days.

Xio was a little frustrated after hearing this, because she still couldn't help with anything.

And Abner didn't comfort her, because he was the same... He had difficulty coping with the 'witch', let alone the Witch of Pain who had a divine monster as her assistant.

Next, seeing that it was getting late, Abner handed over the transcribed second copy of "A Feast of Blood" to Xio, then bid farewell to him, and returned to Detective Essinger's house in a public carriage.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he was called into the office by the teacher.

"I found out which court nobleman the badge on the carriage belongs to." Detective Essinger Stanton took a breath and said slowly.

Hearing these nonsensical words, Abner almost didn't react, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that at Inspector Wayne's funeral, a troubled police officer once said that the inspector was killed by a man in a carriage. The woman was poisoned to death, and the badge on the carriage belonged to a court nobleman.

"Because the nobles in the court are almost all loyal loyalists of the Loen royal family, they are generally not very keen on communication, and they seem a bit mysterious, so it took me a few days to find out the origin of that badge." Detective Essinger said here, and the bullet He flicked the ashes in the pipe before continuing, "That belongs to the family of Earl Lorena."

"The Lorena family?" Abner thought about it carefully, and confirmed that this name did not appear in the original book, and he did not see it in the office file either.

"The ancestor of the Lorena family used to be an attendant of the 'Founder' and 'Protector' of William I. He was knighted for saving the lives of members of the royal family on the battlefield, and has always been loyal to the Augustus family." Aixin Detective Ge simply explained one sentence to his students.

There is a secret deal between the Loen Royal Family and the Witch Sect, so it is reasonable for a Witch to borrow the Earl's carriage...

But I have no way to check a court earl... Should I ask Prince Edsac? Well, maybe I can tell the "Desolate Ones" that this is also a good direction of investigation.

In addition, at the Tarot meeting tomorrow, you can entrust Miss Justice to investigate.

Thinking of this, Abner gradually became concerned, nodded to the teacher, and said, "I will investigate." He still remembered the solemn expression on Detective Essinger's hope that he would find out the truth about Inspector Wayne's death.

...

Monday morning

Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.

"Why did you suddenly come to visit so early?" Audrey asked, looking at the sky outside, and then at Viscount Grelint in front of her.

Grelint looked around and only found a big golden retriever dog squatting beside him, so he lowered his voice and said:

"I was going to the racetrack,

As a result, I met Kang Si on the road, and he told me a very interesting thing, really interesting, I thought I would pass by here, so I came to share it with you. "

"What is it?" Audrey asked with great interest.

Grelint answered without paying attention to the words:

"Did you know about the assassination case at the headquarters of the Daily Observer on Friday night? It was the case that was discovered and successfully prevented by that Detective Blaine... There will be a follow-up to that case!"

Of course I know, according to Mr. "The Hanged Man", that Mr. Detective is also likely to be an Extraordinary. If it is not inconvenient, I really want to get to know him! Audrey's eyes lit up, and she asked reservedly:

"What follow-up?"

"I don't know the specifics. Kance refused to say. He only told me that the daughter of the member of the House of Commons Macht was involved in this case and was imprisoned by the church... It seems that she worshiped an evil Extraordinary Teacher." Grelint spread his right palm.

An evil teacher...Kans said this to warn Grelint, right? Audrey nodded invisibly, and asked without hiding her curiosity:

"Has that evil Extraordinary been caught?"

"No, I was run away by that Extraordinary." Grelint paused, "This is what I said is very interesting. Everyone who participated in the arrest at that time forgot what they were doing—— Is it MI9 or the Nighthawks of the Church of Evernight, and even a senior deacon of the 'Red Gloves' who is carrying a holy relic... Just went around and returned to their respective 'homes'... Imagine that scene... "

This... this just sounds creepy! What is the ability to do such a thing?

Well, if you ask at the Tarot meeting in the afternoon, Mr. "Tower" and Mr. "The Hanged Man" should know.

This matter is so weird, maybe Mister Fool will also be interested...

Thoughts flashed quickly, and Audrey couldn't help curling the corners of her lips. This is the extraordinary world she longed for.

"What are you thinking?" Viscount Greint, who was sitting across from him, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in doubt.

Audrey suddenly came back to her senses, tilted her head slightly and said with a smile:

"Didn't you let me imagine the scene where the Nighthawks completely forgot their original intention and went straight back to the church?"

"Haha." Grelint smiled awkwardly, and then sighed, "I don't know which path that evil man is a high-level Extraordinary, it really fits my imagination of similar things, too, so cool! Wait Hazel was released, I must go and ask."

"Hazel?" Audrey asked curiously when she heard the strange name:

"It's the daughter of Congressman Macht! I heard that she is also a Extraordinary, so even if she was only used, she was still imprisoned by the church." Grelint said this, and looked at Audrey with some excitement Said, "Hurry up Forsi, and ask her when will I find my 'pharmacist' formula?"

Audrey opened her eyes slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice:

"Quiet, whisper."

"How can you talk about the potion formula here?"

Grelint smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, it's nothing. I've confirmed it just now. Apart from you and me, there is only one dog here."

The golden retriever Susie unconsciously changed her sitting position.

...

Backlund North District, in a room at the bottom of Saint Samuel Church.

Wearing a black hooded robe, blue eyeshadow and blush, Daly, who showed a strange and glamorous beauty, sat down at a random place and picked up the documents on the table.

She glanced at it, and immediately stretched her eyebrows and eyes, and asked with a half-smile:

"'Parasite'?"

"So you are treated like curly-haired baboons in the zoo, playing around?"

Sitting in the main seat, Creste Secima, who had hidden her chin and lips in the vertical collar again, said in a low voice:

"We don't know enough about the abilities of the 'Parasite'... We didn't expect him... No, it should be that she can even steal people's thoughts.

"Everyone, including MI9 agents, forgot what they were going to do."

"So what are you looking for me for?" Ms. Daly changed her sitting position. She is currently a member of the Backlund Nighthawks, and she is not affiliated with the "Red Gloves". She helps.

"We need more clues... So I would like to ask you to perform a 'psychic' on Miss Hazel...Although the Punisher has used similar methods on her, I still trust your ability more." Sisi Ma thought about it and said,

"Oh, but I remember that the lady is still imprisoned in the church of the Mother of the Earth... I don't want to experience the strength of a giant bishop." Ms. Daly smiled and asked: "You have prepared it in advance." Have you communicated?"

"I have a good relationship with Detective Essinger Stanton... and according to intelligence, his students should be secretly cultivated by the Church of the Mother Earth... Maybe we can think of a way through this relationship." Said, Seth Sima handed a document to Dali.

After Daly took the information, she glanced at it briefly, and her eyes stopped on a bust portrait of Abner.

"I seem to have seen this person somewhere..."

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, above the boundless gray fog, the magnificent palace stood quietly.

Abner, who came here again, had just regained his sight when he saw Miss "Justice" looking at the top of the mottled long table, and said hello in a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~"

Then, Audrey the Justice turned to Abner and Alger, and said hello in turn.

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice." Abner smiled back.

At this time, Audrey, who turned her head again and looked up, suddenly saw a very old-looking book on the table to the right of The Fool.

It was placed quietly, casually, like an ordinary object.

what book is that It must be very difficult to be kept by Mister Fool! Maybe there is a secret of the gods? Audrey wondered curiously.

Although Klein couldn't see Audrey's expression, he could still guess the lady's thoughts from her emotional changes. He thought that it was worthwhile for him to keep the book for a few more days and not return it immediately after inspection. to the "tower"...

But the knowledge in this book is really helpful to him.

Seeing that Mister Fool had no intention of explaining, Audrey subconsciously glanced at The Hanged Man and the Tower, and found that they also noticed the ancient-looking book.

The eyes and movements of Mr. "The Hanged Man" showed his doubts, surprises, and inevitable guesses. After all, the books that can be kept by the mysterious and high-ranking Mr. "Fool" are absolutely impossible to be ordinary items... …

Huh? Mr. "Tower"'s reaction was a bit strange, he seemed to be very happy... happy? But I'm not curious... Could it be that he recognizes that book?

Abner was actually a little speechless in his heart. He roughly guessed Klein's plan to use this to pretend to be a wave. While secretly laughing, he took the lead and said:

"Dear Mister Fool, there is no new Roselle diary this time."

[Receive the red envelope] The cash or coin red envelope has been issued to your account! Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] on WeChat to receive it!

He intends to wait a few times before giving the diary. After all, Mr. "Fool" has limited payment ability now, and if he takes out too many diaries, he may not be able to maintain the "equal value exchange" setting.

"This time I finally don't have to worry about it anymore..."

Hearing this, Klein was a little disappointed, and let out a sigh of relief.
