Chapter 370 Detective Star-Lord

Peter: "."

Madam, do you know that what you said will cause misunderstanding?

Diana, Zatanna, and Zora all had different expressions when they heard what Lady Xanadu said.

Especially Diana, she felt that the prophecy of the people present mentioned by Lady Xanadu was probably about herself.

"I know, that's me, I am the queen of the farm."

Diana was just thinking about it, but she didn't expect Raven, who was held in Peter's arms, to suddenly say confidently.

Diana: "Ah?!"

Not noticing the sound made by Diana, Raven said proudly: "I will be the one who inherits my father's farm in the future, and I will also be the future queen of the farm."

"No, no, this is something you can't say."

Peter immediately stopped Raven's nonsense, "You can discuss the issue of inheriting the farm with John, Raven, but the queen of the farm is not allowed to be mentioned again."

"Why? Is it because of my age?"

"It's not a problem of young age."

Peter pinched her nose, "You will understand when you grow up."

Raven said unconvinced: "But I am an adult, I mean, my soul."

"But I heard Persephone say that you wet the bed last night!"

Listening to Peter's exposure of her scandal, especially in front of so many people, Raven was immediately angry.

"I, I didn't."

Angry Raven turned her face away and didn't want to talk to Peter.

After Raven no longer cared about how many wives Peter had, Zora and Diana finally told Mrs. Shangdu the question they wanted to ask - about the whereabouts of their children.

After drawing the tarot cards and doing some divination, purple light shot out of Lady Xanadu's eyes.

"I saw it."

"I can see a birdman in a castle made of tree roots."

Lady Xanadu described the scene she saw, "There is also a tree lady, she is holding the baby, and the baby has a cold light in her eyes."

"Glowing eyes? Tree? Birdman?"

Zatanna frowned when she heard the information Lady Xanadu told her.

"The tree lady, the queen of roots, I think it should be Demeter."

Diana expressed her guess.

Demeter is the mother of Persephone, the queen of the underworld.

She is the goddess of agriculture, grain and harvest in ancient Greek mythology, and one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Demeter taught humans how to farm and gave life to the earth. Legend has it that she has boundless magic power, which can make the land fertile, plants flourish, and crops abundant, or make the earth wither, everything wither, and no grass grow. She can make people have endless wealth, but she can also make people penniless.

"Persephone's mother, well, her daughter was robbed of the farm by Peter, and she robbed my child."

Hearing that Demeter and Hermes were colluding, Zora couldn't help but complain.

Seeing Peter's unfriendly look, Zora quickly explained to him: "Sorry, I was joking, Peter, I know that the Queen of the Underworld followed you voluntarily."

Diana ignored Zora's complaints. She looked at the tarot cards on the table and said, "Hermes hid the children with Demeter, but I don't know where they are."

Zora heard this and replied to her: "So it's not bad to keep a relationship with your enemies. Now Hera comes in handy. She should know some news about Demeter."

After finding out the child stolen by Hermes, everyone said goodbye to Mrs. Shangdu and prepared to leave.

"Zatanna, maybe we can talk alone."

Mrs. Shangdu stopped Zatanna who was about to leave.

"Of course."

When only Zatanna and Mrs. Xanadu were left in the room, Mrs. Xanadu said to her seriously: "What kind of person do you think Peter is, Zatanna?"

"Peter?"

Zatanna was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, but we have met and known each other since childhood. To me, Mr. Padrick is like both my father and my brother."

"Is he important to you?"

"Yes."

"But I have glimpsed something about his possible fate, the fate of the future universe."

Mrs. Xanadu sighed and said: "The entire universe is in turmoil because of him, and the entire galaxy is burning because of him."

"No matter what crisis we encounter in the future , are you willing to stand on his side?"

"I do."

"War and death, you keep approaching these things, Zana, it's too cruel for you."

"Fate has always been like this, isn't it?"

Zatanna smiled at the other party, "The only thing I learned from the letter my father left me is that fate is as unpredictable as magic. Never be afraid to go on stage for fear of being exposed."

Putting on a high hat, she thanked Mrs. Shangdu, "Anyway, thank you for your help this time, ma'am."

"You're welcome, I didn't help much, by the way, have you solved your problems in Gotham?"

Mrs. Shangdu asked about Zatanna's problems in Gotham again.

"Almost."

Zatanna said confidently.

At the same time.

In order to find out whether Zatanna used magic to change away the suspect of 10 million, Star-Lord and Loki have rushed to Gotham.

Circus Theater.

The two have slipped into the closed theater.

Standing on the stage where Zatanna once performed the "Disappearing Dollar Spell", Star-Lord lowered his body and looked at the wooden stage. "Look, Loki, this line is a scratch that has only appeared recently, and there are also tiny glass fragments."

Star-Lord quickly found the clue.

He pressed the mask switch on his face to reveal his true face.

"Maybe... this is not glass, but a mirror."

Standing up with the broken glass in his hand, Star-Lord whispered to himself.

Star-Lord had learned magic from Zatanna before, and he knew the principle of Zatanna's "disappearing dollar" magic.

With a strange light flashing in his eyes, Star-Lord walked towards Loki with the glass lens.

"Zatanna's magic uses mirrors to reflect the coin images. Obviously, the mirror fragments in front of him are similar."

Holding a flashlight, he shone the magic mechanism in front of him.

"I think the money must have been stolen before the magic show. The thief used a mirror to reflect the cash image before Zatanna performed the magic, and then hid the mirror at the end."

"Not bad, Star-Lord, you really look like Batman now, and have become a great detective."

Loki patted Star-Lord on the shoulder, "Now tell me, great detective, how did the thief hide the mirror?"

"He didn't, the mirror should still be here."

Star-Lord shook his head and stared at the equipment in front of him.

On the top of the equipment, the flashlight flashed by.

"Who's there?!"

A scolding suddenly came from outside the door.

Aware of the sound coming from the closed stage, the security guard in charge of patrolling shouted here.

Using the key to open the door, the security guard quickly walked to the back of the stage performance equipment.

As a result, no suspicious people were found.

Loki and Star-Lord, who were almost discovered, have left here.

Outside the theater.

Star-Lord imitated Peter and rubbed his chin, saying in a low voice: "Only another magician who knows how to crack this magic or is familiar with this magic technique can crack it."

While Star-Lord was talking, he took out his mobile phone and checked Zatanna's performance information for that day.

"I found out that Zatanna invited two people to the stage at that time, one was the director of the mint, and the other was a doctor who specialized in revealing magic techniques, named Monte Kane. Zatanna's purpose was to let Monte Kane see her magic and see if he could crack it."

Soon Star-Lord identified his suspect, "I suspect it was Kane who did it."

Loki nodded, "Then let's go to Dr. Kane's house and take a look."

Half an hour later.

Star-Lord and Loki came to Dr. Kane's house.

After pressing the doorbell, there was no response from inside the door.

So Loki and Star-Lord sneaked into each other's house together.

Looking at the figure sitting on the chair in the living room with his back to the two people, Star-Lord and Loki looked at each other, and then prepared to go up to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, when the two came over, they found that the person sitting on the chair was not a real person, but a dummy wearing clothes.

With a "bang", the floor under the feet of the two people collapsed instantly.

The two were thrown directly into the basement.

"This is a little trick, but I didn't expect it to be successful. Zatanna, you finally found out that I was the one who did all this behind the scenes."

A man's proud voice came from the basement, "But I have taken the money you prepared for me and left here by plane. Thank you for your generous gift. Ten million US dollars, I don't know how long it will take me, hahaha."

Loki destroyed the sound system that made the sound and said to Star-Lord: "It seems that this guy thought Zatanna could find out about him, so he left a trap for her and used the recording to mock her, but unfortunately, Zatanna has never found this guy."

"This woman is a bit stupid."

"I don't think so."

Star-Lord shook his head, "Maybe Zatanna has already found out, but we don't know what she is going to do."

On the other side.

Monte Kane was sitting in his private plane, flying to South America.

He is still immersed in his masterpiece of using Zatanna's magic to counter her and stealing 10 million US dollars.

Wearing a high-end suit and in a good mood, he looked down at the Gotham City that was about to leave, picked up the coffee, and said to his subordinates proudly: "Look, take a good last look, gentlemen, next we are going to a place with a pleasant climate, more friendly people, and no extradition law."

Let the subordinates take out the cash box, and Kane is ready to appreciate his fruits.

The subordinates brought the cash box and opened it.

Looking at the empty cash box, Kane was stunned.

Where is his money? !

How did so much money suddenly disappear.

"Ding!"

At the same time, Kane's mobile phone rang suddenly.

He looked down and found that a text message came from his mobile phone.

"Congratulations, you have successfully donated 10 million US dollars to the Gotham Social Welfare Institute. Mr. Monte Kane, thank you very much for your support of the Social Welfare Institute. The children in the welfare institute appreciate your help!"

Looking at the text message on his mobile phone, his eyes suddenly went dark and he cried out in pain.

"No!!!"

His 10 million is gone just like that!!

At Padrick Farm, Zatanna, who had already rushed back from London, took out her mobile phone and learned the news that the Social Welfare Institute had received the donation.

Shrugging her shoulders slightly, she whispered to herself: "As a magician, I will not be fooled by such a crude trick. I wish you a pleasant journey, Mr. Monte Cain."

After tricking Monte Cain, Zatanna felt better.
