Mystery: Start with the Reader

v1 Chapter 82: The Tarot Club That Starts Again

   Kopusti? Susan didn’t say that I had forgotten him... Abner thought for a moment and decided to take care of it. Although Roman didn’t know him very well, he was also a friend of the original owner. He still doesn't mind doing things that can be solved.

Abner organized the language and spoke to Susan again with the words that scared Jane, and finally said solemnly: "In short, regardless of whether Mr. Kopstee was intentional, his behavior is likely to break the law. Let Roman follow him to fool around."

   "Then what should I do?" Susan was shocked by Abner's tone and asked in a flustered manner.

   "You just need to repeat what I just said to your mother. I believe Sergeant Fiona can take care of the matter." Abner smiled and replied. It is more reliable to report such things to the police.

Susan nodded thoughtfully, deeply feeling that after Senior Abner became a detective, both her tolerance, the way of thinking and handling things have changed a lot from the past...In contrast, whether it is she or her Roman, or even Castell, who was admitted to college, seemed a little naive.

   After a while, reporter Mike also came by, and Abner took the initiative to greet him and expressed his gratitude to him.

   Reporter Mike waved his hand and said, "This is something we said a long time ago, so you don't have to be so polite. Maybe I need your help when I go to some special places for interviews and investigations in the future."

   After a few conversations between the two, it was almost eight o'clock. Detective Isinger no longer waited in the hall, took Abner to the second floor of the public ballroom, stood behind the railing opposite the door, and signaled the invited band to stop playing.

  After all the guests looked over, this Backlund's leading detective said loudly:

   "I am very glad to be able to participate in this dance party, thank you for coming..."

   "I have prepared some music and food with Dixie's characteristics for everyone, I hope you will like it..."

   Having said that, he made Abner take a step forward and continued:

"In addition, here, I will formally introduce my student Abner Bryan to everyone. He is already a detective capable of acting on his own. The cases solved even appeared on the second edition of the Daily Observer... "

   "He is still young and needs the help of friends and colleagues..."

   Next, after Abner gave a simple speech and speech, they went down the stairs to the dance floor in the hall on the first floor, preparing to invite the ladies to dance the opening dance.

  Because of being pushed to the front of the stage, Abner has become the protagonist of the ball at this time, so naturally he has to start the opening dance.

   Normally, at the opening dance, the married host must find his spouse. Unmarried men and women either dance with their opposite relatives, or invite their favorite objects, which belong to an alternative blind date.

   But Abner has neither a suitable goal nor relatives, which is a bit embarrassing in this matter.

   Fortunately, the female police chief of the North District, Ms. Fiona, relieved him in time. As the mother of classmate Abner, she can be counted as an elder, and it would be appropriate to dance the opening dance with her. As for why not Susan? She hasn't reached the age of formal socializing, and on such occasions, she can't dance.

   The two entered the dance floor and danced in a country-like music. It wasn't until the end of the opening dance that Ms. Fiona suddenly lowered her voice and said:

   "Susan has told me the matter...You are very sensitive to such illegal incidents and dealt with it appropriately. You deserve to be a detective who can appear in mainstream newspapers at such a young age. I feel relieved when Susan is dealing with you."

   Why does this sound wrong? It's as if I have a leg with your daughter... Abner murmured in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be humble and said, "You've been rewarded."

After the opening dance, Abner followed the teacher and visited the detectives who had been invited one by one. When he walked to Detective Zaire, the Fossack spy suddenly smiled and said to Abner: " Boy, I currently have a commission in my hand, because it is very cumbersome, so there is not enough manpower. Would you like to share some of it for me? I am willing to pay a deposit of 5 pounds, and if the employer is satisfied, I will pay you another 5 pounds."

   "Detective Zaire, hello." Abner greeted him first, and then asked vigilantly, "I don't know what kind of commission it is?"

   This detective’s 5-pound commission was not easy to accept. After all, his assistant hired Klein for 5 pounds. In the end, Klein had to murder an ambassador because of the 5 pounds.

And at this moment Abner has already remembered why he felt that Mr. Zaire was familiar. When he was just promoted to'reader', it was this gentleman who followed Kasper's side with the'obscure method' as him. A backhand to deal with the Extraordinary who may get out of control.

"This commission actually came from the Storm Church. They requested that the bridge area be the center, and the bridge area, the east area, the southern area, the dock area and the factory area should be investigated in the last one or two months who has suddenly become crazy or suddenly demented, and because of The two previous causes of accidental death must also be investigated. Detective Zeriel glanced at Detective Isengard, and then smiled and explained to Abner.

"The population of these districts will add up to one million? It really is a cumbersome commission." Detective Isengard glanced at his student after speaking. He roughly guessed that the church of the storm, or the surrogate, was looking for what. It's just that this kind of rude investigation method, he is very despised, if it were not for the wrong occasion, he would definitely ridicule a few words.

   Suddenly insane...Dementia...Is this a symptom of being polluted by Extraordinary? In the last one or two months... Thinking of this, Abner also faintly guessed at this time: the extraordinary characteristic of the "reasoning student" that the original owner first picked up might not have been taken from a dead penalty agent, right? ? The punishers have never been able to find the missing feature, and they have to be busy with other cases, so they can’t separate their hands, so they just hire someone to investigate it? Unfortunately, the direction is wrong.

At this time, after listening to Detective Isinger’s words, Mr. Zeller said with a smile: “So this commission will pay 100 pounds regardless of whether there is someone on the list we found that the Storm Church is looking for. If they find it, they want to The person who is looking for will pay another 100 pounds." At this point, he looked at Abner again and continued:

   "Don't think that I only give you a commission fee of 5 pounds. After all, I only need you to help me check the bridge area. Compared with other places, the population is much smaller."

   Abner thought for a while and decided to accept this commission. After all, he was probably investigating himself. Instead of passively expecting the penalty agents to keep exploring in the wrong direction, it is better to actively join in. Maybe some misleading can be done at the right time.

  ……

   At the same time, in a dark apartment bedroom in the West End, two figures are entangled with each other, and intoxicating low voices are floating in the room.

   Just as the man below is about to reach its peak, the woman galloping on it takes out a glass bottle from nowhere~lightnovelpub.net~ The dark viscous liquid is rippling in the bottle.

   The lady looked at the man with a distorted expression under her, took a deep breath and poured the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.

   Then, terrible changes began to take place in the lady's beautiful body. Numerous pustules and black sores were surging on the skin, and her beautiful face became a little terrifying because of this.

   But at this moment, the man under him suddenly began to twitch, and the inexplicable force left his body, followed the junction with the lady and entered the other party's body, constantly repairing those terrible abscesses.

   And the lady also recovered a bit of consciousness. She took out a needle tube with a container from a mirror with difficulty, and then worked hard to inject the blood in the container into her blood vessel.

  ……

   July 23, Monday.

   In the morning, Abner went out after lunch because he accepted the commission of Detective Zaire to investigate the bridge area.

   He didn’t have to worry about it, and immediately started the investigation. After all, he really wanted results, so he just had to hand over himself...

   He wanted to take this opportunity to read some files from the police station in the bridge area to see if there were any traces of the witch. Because of the commission, the Storm Church has greeted each district police station in advance, and the detective who has received this commission is as convenient as possible.

Therefore, Abner, who had read the file for the whole morning, did not come to the single-family house he rented in the Eastern District until more than two in the afternoon. The teacher’s house commissioned the incident and it was not convenient for him to participate in the tarot without interruption. meeting.

   Three o'clock exactly, above the fog.

Abner, who had just regained his vision, once again saw the magnificent temple, saw Mr. Fool sitting on the upper side covered with a thick gray mist, and saw the still ambiguous justice and the hanged man appearing in their fixed seats. Place.
