v1 Chapter 161: The Skards

Seeing the men and women walking out of the living room, Abner was visibly stunned and blurted out: "Mr. Scarder, Mrs. Scarder, why are you here?"

These two people were the parties involved in the murder case that Abner encountered when he travelled back to Backlund from East Chestershire! "Solomon's gold coin" was found from their dead son.

To be honest, since Karen told him that the so-called "tenant" is someone he knows, he has guessed Sharon and Maric, Lina and Talim, Hugh and Forsi, and even Roman and Susan... but never thought it would be these two people anyway.

Abner remembered that Mr. Skard was the manager of the Jiahai Trade Company. He rescued a mysterious old man when he returned from the Rhodes Islands. Later, under the guidance of the old man, he found a small island with hidden treasures. The shareholders on the ship did not heed the old man’s advice before leaving, and led Mr. Skard and others to open a door and saw the mural inside...

After that, all of them began to suffer from bad luck, and even many of their children got all kinds of sicknesses.

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

Wearing a white shirt, a black waistcoat, and neatly groomed hair, Mr. Skard first saluted Abner, and then respectfully said: "Detective Bryan, we are now servants of the Mother Earth Church. Mr. Cullen arranged for our couple to work in this villa... He told us to serve you."

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

"Yes, you also suggested that as soon as we came to Backlund, we should go to the ‘San Silland’ church to pray and tell the pastor what happened before..."

Having said that, Mr. Skard’s complexion was obviously complicated. He sighed and continued: “Unfortunately, the Steam Church didn’t take it seriously. Harriet and I were still in bad luck, even caught by the gang, and almost sold to The slave trader..."

"The gangster you are talking about, shouldn't it be..." Abner moved in his heart, and suddenly he had a guess. Moreover, he felt that the Steam Church, or "Mechanical Heart", may not have paid attention to it, but the two ordinary people didn't know it.

"Yes, it is the'Vincent Labor and Service Company' and the Black Skeletons behind it! Here, I want to sincerely thank you, Detective Bryan. If you hadn't sneaked into the company and solved this case, Halle and I I don’t know what tragic fate we will encounter...Unfortunately, we all passed out in a coma at the time, and we didn’t see you fighting with many villains.

Mr. Skard's eyes showed gratitude. And Mrs. Skard beside him also saluted again, thanking Abner for the kindness he rescued.

Abner's mouth twitched. He has a fart "heroic". Obviously, the whole process and Judy were "beating soy sauce" outside the company... Karen was the only one who did the work from beginning to end.

In order to conceal his embarrassment, Abner took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Then how did you become servants of the Earth Church? Are you here?"

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

With that said, Mr. Skard devoutly drew the simple pen sacred emblem of Mother Earth on his chest, and recited in a low voice:

"Thank you, the source of life!"

"Praise you, mother of all things!"

...

Bishop Utravsky has a very strong business ability... Abner is convinced that Karen and Judy are not capable of this infection, and they must have brought the Skards back to the Harvest Church.

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

While Abner was thinking about it, he heard Mr. Scarder continue to say: "The Mother God redeemed 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 had been helping Mr. Cullen to inquire about some news. It was not until yesterday that they were arranged here to assist you as a male servant and a maid to help you take care of this villa."

"So..." Abner nodded first, then after thinking for a moment, he asked a very realistic question: "Who will pay for your salary and the daily expenses of the villa?" Me? Before, I thought Karen had found two gold masters, who would have thought that there would be two poor ghosts...

"It is reimbursed by the church...Of course, the monthly budget, settlement and final accounts must be signed and approved by you before they are submitted to Bishop Utravsky." With that, Mr. Skard took a list of The bills for the various expenses were handed to Abner. After all, he was a manager of a sea trade company, and his business ability was not bad.

Abner glanced roughly and put it aside, anyway, as long as he didn't let him pay, would the Skards take the opportunity to make some extra money? He felt that he didn't need to bother to calculate it by himself. Then it would be fine to use the "notarization" ability of the "Ring of Light" ring to draw up a contract.

Next, Abner asked about the specific situation of the garden villa in Skard, and it turned out that because many furniture and necessary items were removed or destroyed before the handover, some repairs and necessary supplies were needed. Time, can’t move in right away, according to the current progress, at least next Monday or Tuesday to be ready.

"Well, after I move in next week, I will hold a banquet in the new residence and invite all my friends... just to design it so that Xio can find the "Blood Feast" that he has done."

...

In an old apartment in the southern part of Daqiao, "The Witch" Lina is looking at today's newspaper, and her focus is undoubtedly the headline news of "The heroic detective captures the murder of the prince".

"Hehe, this is too much. It is said that the real murderer is a burly man of more than 1.8 meters. The heroic detective relies on wisdom to deal with him, and finally uses the environment to defeat him...Tsk, I don’t know if Rey still What do you think when I see this newspaper while I'm alive?" Lina was overjoyed as she read it.

Sitting across from her was former police officer Xiao Ke. He looked at the smiling witch and asked worriedly: "Are you really okay? Count Lorena has been executed now... why are you still smiling? Come 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 birth and nurturing... We no longer owe each other. ."

"Then why are you acting so sad and angry with Prince Edsac again? It seems that you are going to break with him?" Xiao Ke asked puzzledly.

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

"Am I not your friend too?" Xiao Ke retorted uncomfortably when he heard this.

"You? You can only be my future sister!" Lina glanced at him with a faint smile, and then turned off the subject without waiting for him to react, "You have been a frequent'right police' recently and have assassinated many The boss of the gang, it’s time to stop. I heard that they have found the Extraordinary and plan to ambush you."

"But what should I do with the role of the'Assassin'?" Xiao Ke did not realize that the subject was changed, but only raised his own questions.

"'Assassin' pays attention to planning and action, and one hit kills! Assassins like you who go up and take care of things that are uneven, you can only say luck if you haven't died until now." Lina sighed. In a tone, she looked at Xiao Ke now as if she saw herself once, all so naive.

Knowing that Sequence 7 will become a "witch", she still chose this extraordinary road, just to become stronger and dominate her own destiny~lightnovelpub.net~ thinking so in her heart, she glanced aside. The newspaper rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Ke with a smile: "The Pain Witch Rey should have been killed by this heroic detective. Since you are under the care of Superintendent Wien, now he is getting revenge, are you? Should I go to the door and thank this Mr. Detective?"

Xiao Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded, agreeing: "Yes, I have to visit."

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

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

The corner of Lina's mouth twitched, but she didn't reply, she just thought in her heart: No matter who is planning behind, this necklace can't be kept, otherwise I am afraid it will sink deeper and deeper, even if it helped me before... And since that'hero detective' can get the credit every time, obviously his background is not shallow, let him or the existence behind him take the headache for me.

...

Time came to Sunday in a blink of an eye. After two days of headline reports, Abner’s "hero" popularity has finally diminished, and he took a break and went out wearing a "clown mask".

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

And Darkwell's chubby face quickly caught his eye.
