Chapter 76 Guessing and Investigation

Audrey, who thought she knew the truth, couldn't help imagining the scene described by Viscount Greint:

Lanerus fell in the darkness, in the mud, covered with Tarot cards one after another, including "The Fool", "Justice", "The Hanged Man", "The Sun", and "The World". ", there are other main cards and many number cards, some of them are reversed, some are upright, and some have not been turned over, but the back side is exposed, just like a large and weird tarot divination.

Such a picture must be very shocking!

I don't know where the "justice" card will fall...

How would MI9 and the Extraordinary of the Church view this matter? Do you feel that a new secret organization has appeared?

Lanwusi possesses the divinity of "True Creator", and the things he and Aurora will plot will certainly not be small. If successful, it will definitely bring terrible disaster to Backlund and the kingdom, and such a plot will It was aborted so lightly and blandly, by a simple task issued by Mister Fool!

Is this a game at the level of the gods?

Mister "Fool" and "True Creator" are sworn enemies?

No wonder he called the other party "Fallen Creator"...

...

Thoughts flashed quickly, and Audrey's body faintly trembled imperceptibly.

"What are you thinking?" Viscount Greint, who was sitting across from him, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in doubt.

Audrey suddenly came back to her senses, tilted her head slightly and said with a smile:

"Didn't you let me imagine the scene where the corpse is covered with tarot cards?"

"Haha." Grelint smiled awkwardly, and then sighed, "I don't know which member of the secret organization killed Lanwusi, it really fits my imagination of similar things, too, so cool !"

It's our Tarot Club! Audrey answered silently, and said with a slight smile:

"Maybe it's a powerful Extraordinary who has no organization and acts alone?"

"Anyway, I like this style! Urge Xio and Forsi, and ask them when I will find my 'pharmacist' formula?" Grelint said quite excitedly.

Audrey opened her eyes slightly, looked around, and said in a low voice:

"Quiet, whisper."

"How can you talk about the potion formula here?"

Grelint smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, it's nothing. I've confirmed it just now. Apart from you and me, there is only one dog here."

The golden retriever Susie unconsciously changed her sitting position.

…………

Backlund North District, in a room at the bottom of Saint Samuel Church.

Wearing a black hooded robe, blue eyeshadow and blush, Daly, who showed a strange and glamorous beauty, sat down at a random place and picked up the documents on the table.

She glanced over, her eyes suddenly froze, and then she frowned, and asked suppressing something:

"Lanius?"

"Why don't I know about this?"

"Why wasn't I notified of last night's actions?"

Sitting in the main seat, Crestel Sesima, who had hidden her chin and lips in the vertical collar again, said in a low voice:

"I was worried that you could not control your emotions, which would bring unnecessary hidden dangers to the action, so no one told you."

"I understand your feelings very well. There is a Nighthawk in the Tingen team who is receiving guidance and training in the Holy Church and is preparing to join the 'Red Gloves'. His performance is similar to yours, but as the person in charge of the operation, as the senior deacon of the Nighthawks , I must rule out the unstable factors."

Daly glanced at the captains and deacons of the other Nighthawks that had been summoned, and said with a snort:

"Why do you think I can't control my emotions? I'm calm and I won't be impulsive!"

"My anger will only erupt after Lanevus is caught! This is the professionalism of a senior Nighthawk and a deacon!"

"If I catch Lanerus, I will let him understand that men are also fragile! I will let him have a cold, rotting but stiff corpse behind his ass, and I will let him have a barbed body in front of his body." And the stinking bones, I will let those gloomy little guys get in and out of every possible place on his body!"

"Damn! You let him die like this!"

Crestel Sesima looked at Da Li calmly, listened to her words silently, and then sighed:

"How long have you been patient?"

Daly was stunned for a moment, and suddenly whispered in frustration like a deflated ball:

"It's been a long time..."

Sesima withdrew her gaze and looked at the other deacons and the team leader:

"What's the gain?"

"We preliminarily confirmed that the person who killed Lanerus was a member of the Secret Order, his rank was Sequence 8, his potion was named Clown, and he was good at making throwing knives with cards." A deacon truthfully reported, "However, We can't be sure about this guess, the tarot cards sprinkled on the corpse don't seem to be covering up, after all, the Extraordinary didn't deal with the cards stuck on the wall and on Lanerus's head at the same time, we all think that the final scene is closer Because of some kind of ritual or symbol, so we suspect that the Extraordinary may belong to an organization we don’t know yet, of course, that scene may also be his special habit.”

Sesima nodded slightly and said:

"We can start from this aspect and conduct follow-up investigations."

"Al, what did the whistleblower investigation find?"

Al Hasen, who is very charming as a middle-aged man, flipped the paper in his hand and said:

"We investigated the whistleblower and found that his actions were directed by a bounty hunter."

"In the process of looking for the wanted criminal Lanerus, the bounty hunter's companion was killed by a member of the Aurora Society. She secretly conducted an investigation for revenge, and finally locked the target in the Workers' Union Tavern in the East Balam Dockyard. , and according to the target's activity track, Lanerus was discovered."

"Her actions are basically confirmed by witnesses. There is nothing strange about it. At the same time, we confirmed with extraordinary means that she has no connection with the person who killed Lanwusi."

"She's hiding now and it's hard to find."

Sesima added as if thinking:

"This fits Lanwusi's description very well. The radical and crazy members of the Aurora Society helped him get out of trouble."

"Is there any problem with the reporter who went to the workers' association to interview that afternoon?"

Another Nighthawk team leader reported:

"He is a fake reporter. According to the news from the police department, he is actually a private investigator. He was helping reporter Mike Joseph of the "Daily Observer" to investigate the murder of Hiber. We guess that he obtained Got a lead, tracked down the longshoremen union, and contacted everyone in disguise."

"This guess has been confirmed by Isengard Stanton."

Sesima hummed, and turned to ask other people who had been in contact with Lanwusi recently, and got answers without questions one after another.

Towards the end, he thought about it and said:

"The lack of sufficient motivation for the murder of Lanwusi confuses me very much. The mysterious murderer deserves attention. You continue to follow up on this matter."

"In addition, according to common sense, the Aurora Society in a metropolis like Backlund will definitely not only have Extraordinary people at the level of 'Rose Bishop' and 'Hermit', at least there will be an envoy, and maybe even a saint."

"Their plan to welcome the arrival of the 'True Creator' failed. With their crazy and irrational characteristics, I am worried that they will take a series of revenge actions. Recently, you must be on high alert, and I will stay in Backlund."

"Yes, Your Excellency Sesima." A deacon and team leader responded seriously.

Cresta Sesima paused for a few seconds and added:

"The Megoose incident in Tingen and the Lanerus incident last night both revealed a problem. The factory area, the dock area, and the east area have become hotbeds for the advent and breeding of evil gods. You assign personnel to investigate and collect the most authentic situation."

"If it is indeed the same as what Lanwusi described, I will raise this matter at the Cardinal Council, formally put pressure on the kingdom and the government, and push for corresponding changes to be realized as soon as possible."

…………

Klein didn't get up until late, but the outside was still not bright enough, still covered with a faint mist, dark and cold.

This doesn't fit my bright mood... He muttered something, changed his clothes, took the keys, and returned to Minsk Street without receiving much attention.

After changing the worker's uniform into a home shirt and sweater, and confirming that no one will investigate him as a private detective, he was completely relieved, and leisurely went out to the butcher's grocery store to buy food, and prepared a hearty lunch for himself.

There was some sunshine in Backlund in the afternoon, and Klein lazily basked in the sun, seemingly not wanting to do anything for a while.

It wasn't until 2:45 that he took out his gold pocket watch and took a look, then returned to the bedroom and entered above the gray mist.

After embodying the dummy of "World" and familiarizing himself with the operating skills again, he sat on the high-back chair at the top and sent a reminder to "Sun" to prepare for the party.

At exactly 3 o'clock in Backlund time, streaks of crimson light rose from the magnificent and ancient palace, outlining the same blurry different figures.

Audrey "Justice" looked directly upwards, and said briskly:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool."

"The 'simple' task you entrusted has been completed."

She intentionally added an accent to the word "simple", just to confirm from Mister Fool whether Lanerus was removed by his favored one, and whether the death scene covered with tarot cards was a Tarot Society iconic symbol.

Klein pretended to smile plainly and said:

"I already know."

After saying this, he sighed leisurely:

"This era, this Backlund, this East District, the Docklands, and the Factory District are really hotbeds for evil gods to descend."

What? "The Hanged Man" Argel was stunned for a moment, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

Why would a simple task be involved in the hotbed of evil gods coming?
