Chapter 288 Magic Sound Car and Puppet Show (Additional Chapters for Everyone’s Subscription)
On the return carriage, Hobert was still tense. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got off the embassy carriage and returned to his office.
Hobert calmed down. After some deliberation and conjecture, he gradually understood the logic of the matter: it should be that during the negotiation between the "Dawn Knight" and Kelly, Tim sent someone or someone from the "Tribunal" to follow Jessica.
But they did not follow the negotiation site in the suburbs. It may be because it is easy to be discovered if they follow at night in the suburbs. It may be for other reasons. They don't know the specific movements of Hobert and others, and they can't be sure whether they killed the person...
No, no, Hobert realized that if this was the case, they would "prefer to believe it than not to believe it", and they should have launched a revenge action long ago.
Hobert thought that he was wearing a wax seal made of "Order Crystal" at the time, so he didn't want to find the murderer through extraordinary means.
They should have very little information, and Tim had no way to identify the murderer.
Perhaps the only clue they have is that Hobert was also involved in this matter. This should be based on the subsequent investigation and the information obtained from the "Tribunal" to determine the clue.
Following this clue, they could certainly find out that Hobert and Jessica left in a carriage last Tuesday night.
Although Hobert and the other three were the biggest suspects after the four members of the "Trial Team" disappeared, it was impossible for a "craftsman" who was not good at fighting, one Sequence 7 and one Sequence 9, to kill Bolton and others silently.
Through some of Tim's questions, it can be determined that they did not believe that Hobert and others killed people.
Therefore, Hobert and the other three would be used as bait to bring out the "big fish behind the scenes".
After today's "interrogation", Hobert thought that Tim should continue to observe and take new actions only after finding new clues.
Hobert decided to find an opportunity to put on a mask and use the ability of "travel" to kill a wave, create an alibi for himself, and completely clear his suspicion.
Thinking of this, Hobert frowned. In this case, Jessica and Kelly should be in some danger now.
Kelly moved, so she might not be found so easily by the "Tribunal", but Jessica has been working normally during this period, so the "Tribunal" can easily find Jessica.
He was about to call Jessica to give her a few words, and before his raised hand touched the pull cord of the bell, he suddenly thought: "Tim will not harm Jessica and Kelly. If Tim takes Jessica or Kelly away, it is almost "playing an open card".
"MI9 knows that Ambassador Feynaport suddenly captured a wild extraordinary person, and will definitely check it out. This investigation will easily lead to the "Tribunal".
"Of course, the Loen royal family will not care about the life and death of a "low-sequence" wild extraordinary person, but they will definitely use this to blackmail the Feynaport Kingdom!
"If Tim has a brain, he will not do this, but he still has to prevent Jessica and Kelly from being found by the "Tribunal". "
Thinking of this, Hobert pulled the cord of the bell.
This design of bell is very popular in Backlund's office buildings or homes. The supervisor has a rope. As long as the rope is pulled, the bell on the assistant or secretary will ring.
The assistant knows that the supervisor wants to see him, so he will go to the supervisor's office immediately.
And the home version of the bell is that the rope end is in the master's room and the bell is in the servant's room.
Because electricity has not been widely used, electric bells have not appeared.
A dozen seconds later, Jessica appeared at the door.
Hobert raised his neck and pointed to the opposite side of the desk: "Sit."
Jessica understood what Hobert meant, closed the door, and sat opposite Hobert.
"In the near future, you must be wary of the revenge of the "Judgment Group". If you can't do it, take a leave for a while. I will communicate with Attorney Barton. You can come to work normally in two or three months."
Jessica was stunned: "Have you got any news?"
"I guess so. "Hubert said: "After all, the 'Dawn Knight' is a backbone of the 'Tribunal'. They will definitely investigate.
"And we made an appointment with the people of the 'Tribunal' to negotiate, and something happened to the people of the 'Tribunal'. You and Kelly are of course the biggest suspects."
During the negotiation, Hubert had no idea that the four extraordinary people had such a deep background, let alone that there would be an ambassador to help investigate.
Hearing Hubert's explanation, Jessica was obviously relieved: "Even if they find our current residence, they will never dare to do it, and with you in the law firm, I am safe, there is no need to worry."
This time it was Hubert's turn to be stunned: "So confident?"
Jessica smiled and nodded.
Hobert smiled: "Okay. Oh, by the way, I prepared some extraordinary materials for Kelly, wait for tomorrow... No, I have something to do tomorrow, you can bring it back to her on Saturday."
"You can give it to Kelly in person." Jessica smiled and said: "We trust you completely, and we are not afraid that you know where we are hiding now."
"Okay, I want to see where you are hiding now, you are so confident."
After Jessica left, Hobert spent the whole afternoon at work.
In fact, he didn't have much to do. Most of the time, he was dealing with some documents, helping several lawyers under him review their defense plans, etc.
After get off work, Hobert took a cab back to his home in Queens. As soon as the cab went out of a street, Hobert saw an artist performing a "puppet show" on the street.
The entertainment means of this era are very scarce for people like Hobert, but for people of this era, they are already quite rich.
Elegant ones include drama, opera, dance, symphony, etc., and more popular ones include circus performances, and the "eight-sound car" that can often be seen on Backlund Street, also known as the "magic car".
The appearance of the "magic car" is generally the appearance of a cart, with a box on the car, or some animal-like shapes, and a handle outside the shape. As long as the handle is wound up, you can start playing music.
In fact, inside the shape, it is an eight-sound rotating drum. For citizens who rarely hear music, this is a good entertainment project.
This is actually a means of attracting customers. After the music sounds and attracts many children, small vendors will sell some small toys, or small tools used by the children's mothers, cosmetics and other things.
Another common one is "puppet show". For Hobert, who has watched cartoons, puppet show is actually not worth watching.
First of all, the bald uncle who was exposed imitated the princess's speech, which made people feel out of the play. Secondly, the puppet's movements were actually very stiff. In many cases, it was actually dragged back and forth on the small stage by ropes.
However, this still attracted a lot of audiences, most of whom were children, and some citizens who had finished a day's work.
The main source of income for puppeteers is the audience's tips.
The children would use the few pennies they had to ask the puppeteers to continue performing.
Today, Hobert, who was sitting in a carriage, took a look at the puppet show on the street, and he suddenly had an idea: I wonder if the bald puppeteer is a "secret puppet master"?
Following this line of thought, Hobert suddenly thought of an application of the "Disordered Country". He planned to go to the "Disordered Country" to try it out in the evening.
When he returned home, the dining table was much quieter. At the dining table, Hobert told Christine that he planned to follow a mercenary team to explore an ancient tomb tomorrow.
"Be careful. You should be more careful about your teammates than the ancient tomb, and prevent yourself from being robbed by people who have been eyeing you for a long time." Christine seemed to have thought of something: "Don't feel burdened. Just live your normal life. There is no need to worry that your actions will conflict with me."
Hobert nodded: "I understand."
After dinner, Christine asked Hobert to go to the study.
When Hobert arrived at the study, he realized that the three magical items were ready: a table knife, a small wine glass, and a soup spoon.
The soup spoon is larger and deeper than the "psychological spoon", which can easily distinguish the two.
No need to ask, this must be the master craftsman that the original owner's biological mother found to make magical items. Hobert didn't understand why the craftsman got involved with tableware?
The appearance of these magical items is too out of place. He was looking for someone to fight, but he went there with a table knife and a fork.
Those who don't know would think he went to the wrong place to eat in a restaurant.
After thanking Christine, Hobert took the three magical items and returned to the room to study them.
