Mystery: Start with the Reader

Bernard Callaway, rank of lieutenant, chief of the operations section of MI9's "Homeland Security and Counterintelligence Group", former secretary of the Viscount Stratford.

Audrey read this series of titles, and felt very disdainful for this Lieutenant Callaway, thinking that he must have accepted bribes from gangsters to investigate a bounty hunter who upholds justice for the poor.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she decided not to use her relationship to say hello directly, but to end the investigation through the formal procedures of a friend who works in MI9. After all, this investigation order itself is very problematic and cannot stand review.

For her, the most important thing right now is not to have a superficial relationship with Fors Wall and Hugh Dilcha—after the "Tarot Society" incident, Audrey felt that she was no longer Innocent and ignorant girl.

"Grelint also hopes to solve it in a normal way, so he plans to find a day to hold a dance party and invite Cons to come... Well, it is also considered to be a certain degree of review of the internal departments of MI9 led by Cons It's quite normal, it's a good idea!" Audrey said to herself silently, leaning towards her friend's opinion.

Cons is the youngest son of Viscount Lierson, and his family has a good relationship with the Hall family. According to Audrey's understanding, after graduating from Tingen University, Kang Si joined MI9. Because he was born in a noble family, he is currently holding an important position in the Internal Inspection Team.

"However, it is too deliberate for the ball to be organized by Grelint. If anyone is connected, it may be on me... Well, I remember that there will be a ball at Earl Wolfe's house tomorrow night, and Constance should be there too. By then It's time for Greint to mention the fact that officers accepting bribes needs to be reviewed." Audrey nodded slightly and made a decision.

At this moment, she suddenly saw her golden retriever dog Susie slipping behind the flowers in the garden in a sneaky manner, to a place only gardeners would go.

"Susie... what is it going to do?" Audrey stared blankly.

The golden retriever dog seemed to be confused by the smell of flowers, and didn't notice the owner behind him. It opened its mouth and let out a "ahhhhhh" and "yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound like hanging its throat.

Immediately afterwards, it made the surrounding air vibrate, and the jerky and not round words sounded:

"Hello."

"Are you OK?"

Audrey's mouth opened little by little, completely forgetting the etiquette that an elegant lady should have. She stood up abruptly and blurted out: "Susie, can you speak? When will you be able to speak?"

The golden retriever jumped up in fright, and turned to face its owner.

It frantically and quickly wagged its tail, opened and closed its mouth several times before shaking the surrounding air:

"I……"

"I don't know how to explain it... I'm just a dog."

...

West District, in the bedroom of a garden villa on Williams Street, a lady with fair skin and black hair is slowly putting on her clothes. people.

And her blue eyes were also full of spring at this time, looking watery at a strong man in his thirties who was panting heavily on the bed.

"The Witch of Joy is worthy of the name 'Happiness', she is really powerful!" The man regained some strength after panting for a long time, and he almost couldn't hold back when he saw the beautiful scenery in front of him. Fortunately, he is also an Extraordinary, Forcibly entered the state of meditation to maintain clarity.

"Lieutenant Bernard, you are also very powerful, I couldn't help begging for mercy just now." The charming lady glanced at the other party infinitely, and said with a coquettish smile: "How about this gift to repay your life-saving grace?" Satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied... But, Ms. Rey, it would be even better if Lina can be called together!" The man named Bernard said with a wretched smile.

"Can't I satisfy you? And you should know,

Lina has no experience in this field, she is still very young. "Rey paused with his buttoned hand, and said with a blank look.

"Sentience has its own fun! Besides, she caused the Punisher's troubles, and she should make up for it, right?" Bernard obviously didn't intend to give up.

Rey tilted his head and thought for a while, then got off the bed, twisted up his night-black hair, looked at Bernard and said, "It's not impossible if you want Lina...but you have to promise to help me Do one thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me first." Bernard still maintained a certain degree of caution even though he was obsessed with lust. After all, the one in front of him was a witch.

"It's not that dangerous... I want you to help me investigate the details of Backlund's Punisher team. Including who is there, what are their sequences, and what are the sealed items below level '2'. Well, it would be better if there is personality or specific family information." Rey picked up the black tea that had already cooled down on the table, and said after taking a sip.

She said it easily, but Bernard was obviously taken aback by what she said. He didn't care about the pants he hadn't put on yet, so he stood up suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy?! You still want to take revenge on the Church of Storms ?! Revenge on the Punisher?! Not to mention the 'Singer of God', even the captain of the Punisher is a strong man who has contracted the sacred object."

"The fun things in this black tea are good, but it's a pity that it doesn't have any effect on the happy witch." Rey put down the teacup, first commented, and then said calmly: "Don't get excited, this is actually the need of the 'task' , Revenge is just easy. Although the "Singer of God" is powerful, there are people who will restrain him. As for the captain of the Punisher team, he has not contracted the sacred object not long ago, and that thing is currently only for him. burden."

Hearing that it was part of the "mission", Bernard's expression eased a little. He hesitated for a while before making up his mind and said: "With my authority, I can only inquire about the situation of the general team members. If you want to know more, just Go find Lockhard, he's better informed where he is now."

"Lockhard Siakam? Secretary of the Duke of Negan?" Rey spent the previous month traveling among various noble men, and knew a lot about people in the upper class.

"Yes, he is also the person sent by MI9 to the Duke, and he is my subordinate... As for how to get in touch with him, I don't think it will be difficult for you." Bernard nodded, and then his face became ambiguous again , asked with a smile, "So, about Lina?"

"After you collect the information and give it to me, I will; I will send her here... It is indeed time for her to accept this step. Hehe, speaking of it, the things in your black tea have no effect on me , it would be very useful to her."

After Rey finished speaking, he didn't care about Bernard's response, turned around and opened the door to leave the bedroom. Then, he went down to the second floor and returned to his guest room.

"I must get the special '2' level sealed item that can create a mirror space in the hands of the Punisher!"

While thinking this way in his heart, Rey sealed the room spiritually, and after taking out various utensils, he carefully took out the materials exchanged for contributions accumulated in previous missions from the tin box, and put them in the glass bottle in order .

...

Hillston District, Eisinger Detective Agency.

Although he has the intention to actively find the whereabouts of the two witches, Abner currently has no clues, no clues, and no original story to learn from, so he can only put it on hold for the time being and talk to the teacher about his plan to become a detective officially. The intention of accepting a commission to play.

"Although I can't tell you the acting rules I summarized because of the oath, it can be said that there is basically no problem with your thinking." Detective Essinger said vaguely.

But this was enough for Abner, he had become a Extraordinary for less than two months, and it was time for him to settle down. This period was just used to summarize the rules.

"In this way, tomorrow is Sunday. In the evening, I will hold a dance in a nearby public dance hall. I will call Backlund's colleagues, as well as friends from the police station and the newspaper office, to get together and introduce you to them along the way. Hehe, don’t think that colleagues must be in a competitive relationship. We actually cooperate more when encountering complex commissions. By the way, you can also invite your friends.” Detective Essinger is obviously very good at this kind of sophistication .

Is this the legendary prom social? Abner is not opposed to this. When he was teaching in a university in his previous life, he was not a dead house, and he still maintained basic communication, but at that time he was only limited to hanging out with friends, clubbing, karaoke, traveling with friends, etc. , such a high-end prom has never been seen before.

Just inviting friends... Xio hasn't come back yet, the only friend in Backlund is Forsi right now? Which salty fish will accept the prom invitation? But it's not certain, she actually worked really hard for the material in the novel. When I go to deliver Xio's message to her later, I will ask her by the way.

As for the rest of the casual acquaintances... Maybe call Reporter Mike and Darkwell over? Well, reporter Mike can try to invite, and Darkwill will forget it first, I don't want the dance party prepared by the teacher to fall on his mouth.

After making up his mind, Abner slept for a while in the lounge, and then went out again to take the subway to the Bridge District.

Abner didn't know where Fors lived. Hugh has a very strict policy on the privacy of her friends, and she will not disclose it at will. Without Forsi's consent, she will not tell the specific address even if it is Abner.

However, when they were in Enmat Port, they had agreed in advance by telegram that if there was no special event, Forsi would dine at Morris Restaurant in the Bridge District every night during this time.

Since before traveling together with Xio, he always lived in the best hotels, slept in the best cabins, and ate special delicacies from all over the world, so sitting in this restaurant with ordinary decoration and ordinary taste, Abner actually felt that I was a little dazed, and then I realized that this is where he should come now. Because the money came in so fast, the consumption seemed to be a bit extravagant...

After waiting for a while, as the restaurant door was pushed open, Forsi's figure finally appeared in front of Abner's eyes.
