Mystery: Start with the Reader

Seeing the men and women coming out of the living room, Abner was obviously taken aback, and blurted out: "Mr. Scudder, Mrs. Scudder, why are you here?"

These two people were the parties involved in the murder case that Abner met when he traveled back to Backlund from East Chester County! The "Golden Solomon" was still found on their dead son.

To be honest, ever since Karen told him that the so-called "tenant" was someone he knew, he had guessed Sharon and Maric, Lina and Talim, Hugh and Fors, and even Roman and Susan... But in any case, I didn't expect it to be these two people.

Abner remembered that Mr. Scudder was the manager of a maritime trade company. He rescued a mysterious old man when he returned from the Rorsted Islands. Later, under the guidance of the old man, he found a small island with hidden treasures. However, the shareholders on board did not heed the old man's advice before leaving, and opened a door with Mr. Scudder and others, and saw the murals inside...

After that, all of them began to suffer from bad luck, and even many of their children suffered from various diseases.

And the "Solomon Gold Coin" that has helped him many times was also brought out from that small island.

Mr. Scudder, who was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and neatly groomed hair, first saluted Abner, and then said respectfully: "Detective Bryan, we are now servants of the Mother Earth Church, Mr. Karen arranged us and my wife to work in this villa... He told us to serve you."

"Wait... I remember that you seem to be followers of the church of 'Steam', right?" Abner interrupted. He was very impressed by this, and he even complained about why he, a steam believer, wanted to do sea trade.

"Yes, back then you suggested that we go to the church of 'St. Hirland' to pray as soon as we arrived in Backlund, and tell the priest what happened before..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Scudder's expression became obviously complicated. He sighed and continued: "It's a pity that the Church of Steam didn't pay attention. Harriet and I are still plagued by bad luck. We were even caught by gangsters and almost sold to The slave trader..."

"The gangster you are talking about, could it be..." Abner's heart moved, and he suddenly had a guess. And he felt that the Church of Steam, or "Mechanical Heart" might not have ignored it, it was just that the two ordinary people didn't know about it.

"Yes, it is the 'Vinson Labor and Service Company' and the Black Skeleton Party behind it! Here, I would like to thank you sincerely, Detective Brian. If you hadn't sneaked into the company and cracked this case, Harley and I I really don't know what tragic fate we will encounter... Unfortunately, we were all in a coma at that time, and we didn't see your heroic figure fighting against many villains."

There was a look of gratitude in Mr. Scudder's eyes. Mrs. Scudder beside him also saluted again, thanking Abner for his kindness in rescue.

The corners of Abner's mouth twitched, he had a "heroic" fart, and he was "playing soy sauce" with Judy outside that company the whole time... Karen was the only one who did it from beginning to end.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Abner took a deep breath, changed the subject and said, "Then why did you become servants of the Church of the Earth? Are you still here?"

"Detective Bryan, it's like this. After we were rescued by you, because we lost all our belongings, we had to wander in the East District while looking for work... However, my luck is still very bad, and I have never found a job that suits me. Opportunity... But last weekend night, when we were walking numbly on the streets of the East District, and we were almost unable to keep going, we were finally blessed by fate and met Mr. Cullen and Miss Judy."

As he spoke, Mr. Scudder devoutly drew a simple holy emblem of the Mother Earth Goddess on his chest, and recited in a low voice:

"Thank you, source of life!"

"Praise be to you, mother of all things!"

...

Bishop Utravsky's professional ability is very strong... Abner is very sure that Karen and Judy do not have this contagious ability, and they must have brought the Scudders back to the Harvest Church.

But they did get lucky, and they happened to meet Judy and Karen who were investigating the case at night...

While Abner was thinking wildly, he heard Mr. Scudder continue to say: "The Mother God saved me and Harriet, so I decided to become a servant of the Mother God and spread His love to everyone in need.

"Before, Harriet and I have been helping Mr. Cullen to inquire about some news, and we were not assigned here until yesterday to assist you in managing this villa as a servant and maid."

"I see..." Abner nodded first, and after thinking about it for a moment, he asked a very realistic question: "Who pays your salaries and the daily expenses of the villa?" It can't be Me? Before, I thought that Karen had found two benefactors, but who would have thought that two poor ghosts would come...

"It will be reimbursed by the church...Of course, the monthly budget, settlement and final statement must be signed and agreed by you before being submitted to Bishop Utravsky." As he spoke, Mr. Scudder took a sheet that listed The receipts for various expenses were handed over to Abner. After all, he was a manager of a maritime trade company, and his business ability was not bad.

Abner glanced at it briefly and then put it aside. Anyway, as long as he is not asked to pay, will the Scudders take the opportunity to make some extra money? He felt that he didn't need to bother to calculate this at all. He would just use the "notarization" ability of the "Ring of Light" ring to draw up a contract at that time.

Next, Abner asked about the specific situation of Scudder's garden villa, and found out that because many furniture and necessary items were removed or damaged before the handover, some repairs and necessary supplies were still needed. Time, can't move in immediately, according to the current progress, it will take at least next Monday or Tuesday to get ready.

"Well, after we move in next week, we will hold a banquet in the new residence and invite all our friends over... We can design it so that Xio can find the tampered "Blood Feast" by himself."

...

In an old apartment in the south area of ​​the bridge, the "witch" Lina was flipping through today's newspaper, and the focus of her attention was undoubtedly the headlines of "The Heroic Detective Captures the Real Murderer of the Prince's Assassination".

"Hehe, this subsection is too exaggerated. It is said that the 'true murderer' is a burly man over 1.8 meters. The hero detective relied on his wisdom to deal with him, and finally defeated him by using the environment... Tsk tsk, I don't know if Rey still Alive, what will you think when you see this newspaper?" Lina said happily while reading.

Sitting opposite her was the former policeman Xiao Ke. He looked at the smiling witch and asked with some concern: "Are you really okay? Count Lorena has been executed now...why are you still laughing?" get out?"

"Witch" Lina glanced at him when she heard the words, and said nonchalantly, "I told him before that the suffering I suffered in the Witch Sect is equivalent to repaying his gift of birth... We don't owe each other any more .”

"Then why are you acting so sad and indignant with Prince Edesak again? It seems like you want to break with him?" Xiao Ke asked inexplicably.

Hearing Edsaac's name, Lina's expression softened, and she sighed: "My existence will only bring him countless troubles... It is for his own good to take the opportunity to stay away from him... After all, he is My only friend."

"Aren't I also your friend?" Xiao Ke retorted angrily when he heard this.

"You? You can only be my future sister!" Lina glanced at him with a half-smile, and then changed the subject without waiting for him to react, "Recently, you have frequently been a 'vigilante' and assassinated many The leader of the gang, it's time to stop. I heard that they have found Extraordinary people to ambush you."

"But what about the role of 'Assassin'?" Xiao Ke didn't realize that the topic was being changed, but just raised his own doubts.

"'Assassin' pays attention to plan before moving, one hit kills! Assassins like you who come up to take care of injustices, it's just luck that they haven't died yet." Lina sighed Tone, she looked at Xiao Ke now as if she saw herself in the past, she was so innocent.

Knowing that Sequence 7 would become a "witch", she still chose this extraordinary path, just to become stronger and control her own destiny.

Thinking of this in her heart, she glanced at the newspaper aside, rolled her eyes, and said to Xiao Ke with a smile: "Rey, the Witch of Pain, should have been killed by this heroic detective. Now that he has avenged his revenge, shouldn't you go to the door to thank this Mr. Detective?"

Xiao Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded and agreed: "That's right, I have to pay a visit."

"Then when you go, give him this 'necklace' as a thank you gift." Lina said, took out a box from the drawer beside her and handed it to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke subconsciously took it, then opened it, his eyes widened instantly, and said: "Isn't this the necklace I handed over to you? This is an extraordinary item...you are willing to give it away?"

The corners of Lina's mouth curled slightly, but she didn't reply, she just thought in her heart: No matter who is planning behind it, this necklace can't be kept anymore, otherwise I'm afraid it will get deeper and deeper, even if it helped me before... And since that 'heroic detective' can get the credit every time, it is obvious that his background is not shallow, let him or the existence behind him take care of these things for me.

...

Time came to Sunday in a blink of an eye. After two days of headline reports, Abner's "hero" popularity finally eased, and he got a chance to go out wearing a "clown mask".

He first went to the garden villa in the Jorwood area to check the progress of the repairs, and then walked to the "folk herbal shop" not far from the Tussock River.

And Darkwill's chubby face soon caught his eyes.
