Mystery: Start with the Reader

At noon, Abner met up with the "Magic Mirror", or "Chessia", who was handling various transfer procedures, and returned to the small villa provided by the "Golf Club" to enjoy it with Forsi, who had been staying here. Lunch.

He picked up a piece of butter-fried mushroom and put it into his mouth. Abner chewed it while listening to "Chessia"'s report:

"Herta's house in the Glen District was in a decent location and was quite luxuriously decorated. It was finally valued at 19,000 fils. It was sold at the auction house after more than an hour of listing it. The final bid was 22,000 fils.

"In addition, his 1% shares in Suhit Bank and the stocks of the shipping company, since Hertha has signed the agreement a long time ago, so if the procedures are complete, it can be transferred to your name in a day or two at most. Down."

The "transfer agreement" presented by "Mirror Apostle" Hertha was obviously a document that had gone through the formal procedures and was only one step away from being effective. Otherwise, the "Answer Maze" would not have recognized its value... This is convenient for Abu. Accept.

After drinking a glass of authentic Intis white wine, Abner wiped his mouth and asked again: "Do you have any information about the newspaper office I asked you to inquire about?"

"Chessia" nodded under the control of the "Magic Mirror" and said very smoothly: "Affected by the 'Press Control' Act, many newspapers in Trier are feeling uneasy, and several are already selling at low prices. Sold off.”

"Which ones?" Abner asked with interest.

"The East Coast Morning News, Serenzo Weekly and Laine Newspaper... there are other tabloids that are also on the market, but those newspapers have limited influence and are not in line with your identity as the owner!" Cecia said , also picked up his own "magic mirror" body and displayed the addresses and specific situations of these newspapers in the form of pictures.

"Can't the "Lian News" survive?" Forsi, who had been listening in, said in surprise, "This is one of the top three newspapers in Trier, and it is very influential in the entire Northern Continent!"

She is currently holding a copy of "Lian Newspaper" in her hand, and the headline on the second page is "Prison escapee commits murder and blames others, heroic detective identifies the real culprit"

"Cesia" thought for a while, and in view of Fors's relationship with the owner, she still answered her question: "Mr. Walter, the owner of "Lian Newspaper", was sentenced to 16 months in prison for defamation not long ago. As a result, After only a week in prison, he disappeared inexplicably... This incident also became a trigger for the opposition to 'press control'...

"And Mr. Wolff's son, Wolff Jr., is a conservative himself. He originally disliked the newspaper business at home. Now he is at the center of public opinion. He is not strong-willed enough and now he just wants to leave Trier, a land of right and wrong... …That’s why we have to sell the newspaper.”

"So that's it..." Forsi suddenly realized, and then asked curiously, "How did Mr. Wolfe disappear?"

"This case occurred last Friday night. It is said that it has been handed over to the 'upright' Inspector Russell for investigation, but there is no result yet..." "Chessia" said with a clear meaning.

Last Friday... wasn't that when the blood moon happened? Is it possible that Mr. Wolfe's disappearance is related to the fall of the "Primordial Moon"?

And wasn't Inspector Russell the one who was judged by "Lion" Lyon as the "Apostle of Desire" of the North family? What a coincidence.

While Forsi was thoughtful, he put a piece of bacon into his mouth.

"Let's put the "Lian News" there for now. Even if its price is reduced, it will still be worth at least tens or even millions of fils...

"Look back and pay attention to the quotations of "East Coast Morning Post" and "Serenzo Weekly". This is my goal..." After reading the situation of each newspaper in detail, Abner ordered the "Magic Mirror".

Of course, it had to be determined by "Lion" Leon in the end. After all, this was the newspaper he promised to buy for it.

It is worth mentioning that the lion has been following Fanny since she got out of the car, and is currently not at the club villa, which makes Forsi relieved.

"Yes, Master." "Cesia" responded respectfully.

At this time, Abner recalled the conversation between Forsi and "Chessia" just now. His heart moved and he asked again: "Do you know which prison Mr. Wolfe was previously detained in?"

"Kala Prison located in the Northeast District... I'm sorry, Master, I don't know the specific prison room number." "Cesia" lowered her head and said.

"It doesn't matter, that's enough." Abner felt quite satisfied.

"Abner, do you want to investigate this case?" Forsi asked in surprise. In her opinion, Abner was not a detective who liked to investigate cases...unless the case was beneficial to him.

Abner smiled and replied: "That Mr. Wolfe may have something to do with the person I am looking for."

If he is really a believer in the "Original Moon"...

…

At close to 11 o'clock, Klein met the timid fat pharmacist Abner mentioned in the lounge of the Sweet Leaf Bar.

He glanced around and was suddenly stunned, because this was actually an acquaintance of his.

Isn't this the fat pharmacist at the party called by Mr. Backlund's "Eye of Wisdom" who speaks freely and likes to ridicule others? I also met him in a certain circus...

The reason why he no longer appears at Mr. "Eye of Wisdom's" Extraordinary gathering is because he left Backlund...

Klein looked at the other person carefully and found that he was wearing a Taraba shirt, wide-leg pants and a brown thick jacket, dressed like a local.

In addition, a round-faced owl was resting quietly on Darkwill's right shoulder, staring at the adventurer opposite with his bright eyes.

It's very similar to how Miss Justice looks at other members of the Tarot Society...maybe this owl is an extraordinary creature, an "audience" type? Klein had judgment in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, and asked in a low voice:

"What's your mission in calling me?"

"That's it." The fat pharmacist heard the other party's cold tone and thought of the other party's record. He shrank subconsciously. After a while, he organized his words and said, "I want to ask you to help me save someone... I was originally Asked Abner, and he recommended you, saying you were more suitable.”

You're talking like I'm Abner's backup... I really can't speak! Klein asked calmly while cursing:

"Where to save people? Who to save? Is there any danger?"

Darkwill whispered a few times and said:

"Go to the prison of the Governor's Mansion to rescue my teacher... Well, I can't determine the danger... If, if the danger exceeds your ability, you can just give up. This is the promise we have made now, and we will not break it. reputation."

If I hadn't known that you never speak nicely, I would have thought you were using the "provoking method"... Klein thought for a moment and said:

"What can you pay me?"

Darkwill wanted to directly quote the price that he had already considered, but he hesitated for a moment because he really could not determine the degree of danger. Even with Abner's face, if the chips were not enough, it would be difficult to impress Herman. ·Sparrow.

However, if the teacher is successfully rescued, can he be allowed to pay on his behalf? After all, this is just to get him out of danger...

Just as Darkwill was calculating in his mind, Klein glanced at him and said coldly:

“You can think about it first.

"I'll go to the bathroom and tell me the answer when I get back."

As he spoke, he turned around, walked to the door, turned the handle, and stepped out.

His response seemed sophisticated, with a coolness and coldness that belonged to an adventurer and a bounty hunter, but in fact, he didn't really want to give the fat pharmacist time to think, he was just looking for an opportunity to go to the bathroom and go above the gray fog. Divination.

This is the key to whether he accepts the mission or not! Although he had already deliberately pretended to be arrested and entered the Governor's Mansion, saving people was just a matter of convenience.

After a while, Klein returned to the lounge and asked:

"Have you thought about it?"

He has already divined above the gray fog, and this task will not increase the difficulty of his plan.

"1,000 pounds, and our friendship, I mean my friendship with my teacher." Darkwill said unconfidently.

Klein was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Can.

"In addition, you have to provide some information about the Governor's Mansion."

The information is easy to tell. Guards often buy medicine from me. I know a lot about the Governor's Mansion... Darkwill breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:

"I will sort out the information and give it to you later... However, I will only pay you 300 pounds in advance, and the rest will be paid to you after the teacher is rescued."

Klein nodded calmly:

"make a deal."

…

The northeastern district of Trier, backed by a canal, is the smallest of all districts in the city.

Kara Prison is located on the canal. It was originally a baron's castle. During Russell's reign, the baron lost his title and moved his family to Marsi, so it was transformed into a prison. .

Since it was only a prison for ordinary people, Abner, who used "Evans' Secret Barrier", easily bypassed the guards and entered a cell with a large hole in the top.

“It was knocked open from the inside?

"It seems that something happened to Mr. Wolfe on the night of the blood moon last week?!"
