At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein was eating white bread with jam and reading today's newspaper.
"What? Safe?" As he looked at it, he almost blurted out and almost choked himself.
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense... Klein immediately denied his description of stealing all the property in the safe with three consecutive words in his mind.
The situation was urgent at that time. In order to obtain clues, although he found the safe, he only got in to see if there were any important documents and evidence. He did not take any property and quickly left the safe and moved to another room.
Of course, Klein, who was in the spirit state, also suffered some injuries in the explosion caused by the gas. The total weight of the items he could carry dropped a lot. Kaping's safe only contained gold bars, jewelry, land deeds, house deeds and antiques.
Waiting for something that is either inconvenient to take away or impossible to get rid of.
Maybe he also has a special place for storing cash, but unfortunately I didn't come across it, and I didn't have time to look for it... Klein muttered silently, confirming that it was some subsequent investigators who divided up all the property in the safe.
"So, am I taking the blame for those people?"
He shook his head helplessly, glanced at the title "The Black Emperor" on the newspaper, breathed out slowly, and smiled in his heart:
"What is this? When you take the blame for someone else, someone will take the blame for you?"
Fortunately, the only people who know both the secret organization of the Tarot Society and the code names of its members are internal members. It’s just that it’s hard to explain to Mr. “Emperor”...
Kapin was mentioned in the previous tarot meeting, and it was Mr. "Emperor" who said it. He is a "lawyer" and has seen the "Black Emperor" card. If other members know about today's report, they will definitely be suspicious.
It was done by Mr. "Emperor".
Klein didn't care about the speculations of other members. He mainly cared about the thoughts of Mr. "Emperor". Being impersonated may be related to the evil sect "Tarot Club", and he was suspected to be a senior member of MI9, Ogu
Mr. "Emperor", a member of the Situ family, will definitely use his own power to track down the "Black Emperor"...
Then it is impossible to say that the detective Sherlock Moriarty who accepted the commission can be found with the help of the escaped girls. I am afraid that he will inevitably be interrogated again by the "interrogator", and knowing that the "Black Emperor" is extraordinary
I'm afraid it's not just the Sequence 7 "interrogators" dispatched by MI9 personnel...
After breakfast, Klein put on a heavy double-breasted gown, picked up a half-high silk top hat and a black hard cane, opened the door and left Minsk Street, heading for Broken Ax Alley on the edge of the East District.
That's where Daisy disappeared.
After finalizing the plan yesterday and before putting it into action, he deliberately went to Broken Ax Lane to carefully search for clues. He knocked on the doors of many surrounding houses and asked them if they had seen a girl who looked like Daisy.
Although Klein believes that the official Extraordinary who takes over will not think that a poor and impoverished family can afford to hire a "Rogue" with at least Sequence 6 strength, there is a high probability that the direction of the investigation will be on the secrets involved in Kaping.
Supplemented by peripheral investigations such as "Who has inquired about Kaping recently?", but he still carefully decided to perform the full set as much as possible at the beginning of the performance. If any law enforcement officer lost his mind, he planned to make a preliminary test in this regard.
What about the investigation?
He will continue to investigate Daisy's disappearance.
Because he is an ordinary private detective who has not confirmed that Daisy's disappearance is related to Cappin.
After that, he was going to find Yin En. That big boy had connections with MI9 and was a peripheral officer. He should be able to get some information.
Of course, he won't ask about Cappin. As the kid king who once lived in the Bridge District and the East District, Yin En can be useful in finding Daisy.
…
Rawls sat up from the sofa, shook his head that was still awake, and stood up to stretch his stiff body.
He slept on the sofa at Sharf's house yesterday. Although the sofa was very soft, it was not a bed after all. And compared to the sofa beds in his previous life, the current sofa was really a bit small.
The reason why I chose to sleep here is because after summoning the courier last night, Jamil and Sharf, plus the messenger who was no different from a bookshelf, chatted for a short time. Rawls received little Jamil’s nanny,
The stone golem Romit urged little Jamil, who was not yet 15 years old, to go to bed quickly.
He didn't object. After all, he fell asleep during the discussion between Jamil, Sharf and Messenger Brook. More importantly, he didn't want to face a stone golem with almost demigod combat power. And even if he didn't
If you go and urge him, the stone golem will probably use its power to put Jamil to sleep.
Rawls bent his left arm, clasped his neck with his left hand, came to the living room window, moved his stiff cervical vertebrae, and looked in the direction of Roen.
If he remembered correctly, it should have been the time for the "Rogue Black Emperor" to appear at this time. The premise is that with himself as the emperor of the Tarot Society, will Crane use the same method. But here is the question.
Yam, I'm afraid it will take a few days before there is news about Backlund. Even if there are liaison personnel arranged by "Viscount Fear" to collect information about Backlund for him, it will not be until tonight at the earliest.
And facing the "Black Emperor" who killed Kapin, MI9 will definitely respond, but I don't know if Xio can collect relevant information, but considering that she is now in the "Pre-trial and Torture Team", I'm afraid she won't be able to do so.
What.
Although Rawls left Backlund, he did not cut off contact with Xio and Yin. If he had an order to convey to the two of them, it would first be conveyed through the intelligence channel of "Viscount Fear" Bird Mustang
The person in charge of Backlund's contact point would then pass it on to the two of them. Of course, Xio and Yin En could also pass the news to him through this channel.
And Yin En has to deliver news to both Rawls and Hugh. He is now a peripheral member of MI9 and the "arbiter" of Sequence 9.
More than an hour later, Sharf and Jamil also woke up. After the three had a simple breakfast, they summoned Messenger Brooke again to continue yesterday's academic discussion.
Rawls walked to the sofa area very wisely, picked up a large book that Jamil saw yesterday, and started reading it. A second-hand man like him couldn't participate in the discussion at all, so let's start with reading the book!
Compared to yesterday's discussion that was interrupted by the Stone Golem Romit, Jamil had plenty of time today, but the two messengers did not discuss it for too long. More than two hours later, Rawls's messenger "job fair" was held.
Be prepared by them.
Although the herbs and essential oils provided by Sharf were all temporarily prepared, for an "artisan" it was just a matter of hands-on work. The preparation of the ceremony was guided by the messenger Brooke, and Jamil was responsible for the hands-on work.
Looking at Sharf and Jamil who were looking forward to it, and the messenger Brooke, whose smiling face was formed by the color of the book ridges in his body, Rawls took a breath, lit the candle in front of him that symbolized himself with spiritual friction, and read in ancient Hermetic language.
To activate the incantation drawn up by two people:
"I!
"I call in my name:
"A spirit that wanders in illusion, a wise and friendly creature, a spiritual creature who is willing to be my messenger."
After reciting the incantation, Rawls didn't feel any changes. He looked at the two people and the messenger with some doubts. Sharf frowned, Jamil scratched his hair, and the rows of books in Brooke's body changed positions crazily.
, but couldn’t find any suitable expression.
After waiting for a while, and seeing no movement, Sharf took a few steps forward and came to the altar:
"Isn't it possible? How come it doesn't work?"
Rawls took a few steps back and looked at them helplessly. You have been studying and discussing for so long, and now you have ended up like this?
"Is there something wrong with the arrangement of your altar?"
Although the "craftsman" is also an expert in rituals, he did not interfere with the arrangement of the altar in the face of Jamil who had the help of spiritual creatures.
"Then why don't you say there's something wrong with your herbs and essential oils? Those things were all temporarily made with your ability, and they must be different from normal essential oils."
Jamil was not to be outdone, but he still took the messenger Brooke to the altar to check, but after a thorough inspection, no problems were found. After Sharf finished his own inspection, he began to wonder if there was something wrong with the essential oil he made.
, but the messenger who summoned Ms. Dorothy before did not have such a problem?
"How about we change the spell?"
…
Half an hour later, Rawls sat on the sofa and continued to read the tome, while Jamil and Sharf stood busy in front of the altar. They changed seven or eight spells, but none of them had any effect.
.
Sharf wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, asked Jamil to get out of the way, and stood in front of the altar and recited the incantation:
"I!
"I call in my name:
"A spirit that wanders in illusion, a strange creature that can be driven, an existence with unique abilities."
Woo!
When the wind blew, the candlelight was dyed with a dreamy light, shrouding Sharf.
As soon as this change occurred, Rawls dropped the book in his hand. He was twenty or thirty steps away from the altar. He only took five steps to reach the altar.
He distorted the measurement of distance, allowing him to take five or six times the normal distance in one step. If the "Corrupted Baron" potion was completely digested, he would only need two steps to reach such a distance.
A 40- to 50-centimeter-long spirit body crawled out of the altar, like a lizard. It had four eyeballs, two large and two small, occupying almost the entire space on the face. A dreamlike light came from the two vertical eyes.
refracted.
Just as it was about to use its ability to cover everyone in front of it, it felt that it was locked by a powerful creature. Its two eyes that exuded dreamy light immediately closed, leaving only two smaller eyes that narrowed.
Sharf immediately woke up and took a few steps back in fear.
Rawls lowered his head and glanced at Messenger Brook. The books in his body were changing rapidly. Each of his gloved hands held an ancient scroll at some point, ready to throw it at the lizard-like spiritual creature at any time. Jay
Mir was protected behind him.
"How did you do it?"
Sharf was still a little confused, recalling the process just now:
"Nothing special? Even the spell has been recited by you before."
He glanced at the spiritual creature that was so frightened by Brooke that it closed its eyes. He was still a little worried and ended the summons. Then he pulled Jamil aside and whispered a few words.
Rawls frowned, his brown eyes suddenly darkened, and his right hand seemed to have grabbed something, twisting his wrist.
"...You go and try it." Sharf's voice suddenly became louder, which startled Jamil.
"Baron of Corruption", "Twisted".
Rawls distorted Scharf's intention to whisper and made him raise his voice.
Sharf reacted, patted the frightened Jamil, and asked him to do as he had just been told. Little Jamil walked to the altar with some anxiety, rearranged the ceremony, and read in ancient Hermes:
"I!
"I call in my name:
"A spirit that wanders in illusion, a wise and friendly creature, a spiritual creature who is willing to be my messenger."
The candlelight dimmed, and a rat-like creature wearing a broken hat emerged from the void. Most of its body was covered by the hat with several holes in it.
Rawls rubbed his eyebrows. This was the first time he had recited the incantation, but why couldn't he summon it?
…
Backlund, West District.
In a certain inconspicuous house, a group of people wearing uniform masks took the information handed out and carefully compared the Lanerwus and Capings, looking for similarities in behavioral motives and operating techniques.
"The two cases of eucalyptus have very little in common. If there were no tarot cards at the scene of the eucalyptus, it would be difficult to connect the two cases of eucalyptus." The voice of the person sitting on the chair was young and serious.
"I looked through the files of Lanervus. Some people were involved in this case, but there is no evidence to prove that they were able to kill Lanervus. After all, he has the remnants of the true Creator's divinity in his body."
A masked man with several files in front of him drew circles on the files, "This case also involves some people. We can compare these people together. Once may be a coincidence, but twice may not be."
."
The woman sitting on the sofa wearing a mask and dressed in a neutral attire trembled slightly, then relaxed again.
Finally, the man wearing a golden mask, who was obviously of higher status, spoke and concluded:
"This method is good, but we must also consider the possibility of imitation, and check based on this first. Similarly, we cannot let go of another possibility, that is, the existence of an organization!"
"An organization symbolized by tarot cards!"
"Next, let's assign tasks..."
The woman dressed in unisex clothing was given the task of contacting the rescued girls. Women are always better able to carry out such tasks than men.
After the tasks were assigned, these people did not leave through the main entrance, but entered the underground passage and left the house.
