Chapter Eleven: Enthusiastic Citizens

"Glock, I'm finally back!"

Before Karl could react, Cyril at the door hit him with a headbutt in his arms, calling someone else's name.

What's going on, and who is Grouch?

However, after going through so much, Karl was not stupid, and he immediately realized the reason why Cyril did this. This must be that she wanted to conceal the true identity of the two of them, so she gave a false name.

So Karl stretched out his hand to hug Cyril, touched her hair, looked at the man at the door and said:

"Who is this gentleman?"

"Herbert Gary." The man outside the door nodded to Karl with a normal expression, then extended his finger and pointed into the room, "You don't mind if I come in to talk."

"Of course, of course I don't mind."

After speaking, Karl stepped aside and said with a friendly smile on his face: "Thank you for sending her back. To be honest, I was worried about this little guy."

Because he didn't know what pseudonym Ceryl used, Karl just called her "little one" to be careful not to make any mistakes.

The man who walked into the room didn't say much. He gently sat on the chair in the guest room, then put his hands on his chest and looked at Karl seriously and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Calvindi and Miss Cyril Lawn, right?"

The man in front of him who called himself Herbert was full of confidence. He seemed to have confirmed the identities of the two people in front of him. It felt like he was stating a fact when he spoke.

However, even though Herbert revealed his identity so confidently, Karl did not directly nod his head and admit it. He was not someone who would honestly reveal everything about himself to someone he had never met.

So Karl pretended to be ignorant and said: "Did you admit the wrong person? My name is Grouch, not Karl."

At the same time, Cyril, who had her head buried in Karl's arms, also turned around and looked at Herbert, and said with a bit of complaint in her tone: "Muri is not Cyril, Muri is just Muri."

Very good, now I also know Ceryl’s name.

The two people just confirmed their pseudonyms without leaving any trace, and no matter what happened to the man in front of them, they would not easily admit their identities.

But it's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

When Karl was thinking about how to deal with Herbert, the man didn't care at all about what the two of them said, but continued to talk to himself:

"Although Miss Seriel has changed her hair color, Mr. Karl, you really haven't changed at all from your appearance in the information." He looked at Karl and pointed at his clothes, "Compare it with the photo.

You don’t seem to be wearing any disguise other than your clothes, so why not admit your identity?”

Then Herbert reached into his inner pocket, took out a small box, placed it on the table next to him, and then pushed it towards Karl.

"Please believe that I have no malicious intentions, otherwise I would not be able to send Miss Seriel back safely."

Karl frowned. Seeing this man's current attitude, even if he continued to deny it, it would be of no use. Herbert should have seen their photos or something like that.

Currently, only the White Star Company and the Judgment Agency have their photos. Does this mean that this person is related to these two units?

In this case, there is no need to perform any more unnecessary performances. The fake smile on his face faded, and Karl asked with a serious expression:

"Then let's be straightforward, what do you want from us?"

After speaking, Karl pointed to the box on the table and continued:

"What does this mean?"

Seeing Karl admit his identity, Herbert smiled with satisfaction, and then explained:

"I came to you about the massacre that occurred at the local trial two days ago."

For that massacre, he didn't think it was him who did it, right?

Karl didn't want to take the blame, so he immediately made a puzzled expression and said: "Slaughter? What massacre?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Please don't be too nervous."

Herbert seemed to be prepared for Karl's reaction, and immediately spoke to comfort him: "I know those hands were not moved by you two, otherwise it would not be my palm that was used to knock on the door today."

"Actually, I already had a guess about the culprit of this murder, but when I rushed to the church underground, the scene had been destroyed by ordinary people." At this point, Herbert let out a long breath, and seemed to be very concerned about these ordinary people.

I don't appreciate his behavior very much.

Then he continued:

"Fortunately, after investigation, I noticed the extraordinary beings who appeared outside the church yesterday evening, which is Mr. Carl. You must have also entered the judge branch at that time. The main reason for coming here this time is to get to know you who were the first to enter the scene.

Did you find anything?"

After speaking, Herbert continued to point to the box on the table and said: "I think the murderer should be related to this thing, so please see if there are any similar traces at the scene."

After hearing this, Karl still didn't understand something, so he didn't rush to open the box to see what was inside, but continued to ask:

"Of course it's no problem to help you check, but how do you know the whereabouts of the two of us?"

Because there were so few people near the church, Carl clearly remembered that evening from entering the restaurant until they entered the church underground at night. He had never seen Herbert nearby. How did he know his whereabouts?

"Please don't be too nervous. It's just that I happened to meet some enthusiastic citizens in the city, and with their help, I learned your whereabouts."

Haha, what a caring citizen.

To be able to notice the two of them in such a short period of time could only be because there are so many informants in this city. How could any enthusiastic citizens know his identity as a transcendent person?

At that moment, Karl no longer hesitated, took the box, opened it, and took a look at what was inside.

While he was looking at the items in his hands, Seliel also looked over curiously.

Then Karl felt that Cyril's body in his arms suddenly became stiff. Although there was no change in her expression, she did react.

There's something wrong with this thing!

Inside the box, a small coat of arms lay, engraved with a bird-headed woman holding wheat in her hands.

After thinking for a while, Karl shook his head: "Unfortunately, the two of us did check the bodies there and saw no similar traces. There was nothing unusual about the scene except that the amulet was removed from the body of the judge.

, and all the judges suffocated to death.”

After finishing speaking, Carl closed the lid and pushed the box back.
