Mystery: Start with the Reader

After Abner put away the bottle of perfume, he didn't leave in a hurry, but used the "breath extraction" ability again to carefully clean up the breath he had left here.

As a "detective" who is good at finding clues, he is also an expert at how to erase clues.

After doing all this, Abner returned along the original road, and removed the traces left by himself along the way, while taking out the gold coin from the Solomon Empire period that he had obtained earlier.

He stroked the uncomfortable gold coin, and then with his thumb, he wiped away the blood on the face of the gold coin.

Because such a terrible thing happened to the simple investigation case, Abner deeply felt that his luck today was a bit bad. In order to avoid any accidents on the way to the Harvest Church, he decided to unseal the gold coin and make himself luckier. .

Of course, his ability to unseal the sealed item without hesitation was also related to receiving a telegram from Hugh from East Chester County before he set off in the morning. The other party had already set off, and because the steam train was faster, he could arrive in the afternoon.

Holding this gold coin with different colors left and right, Abner carefully left Dr. Leonardo's house. He walked across two streets before he stopped a taxi and asked the other party to drive him to the Harvest Church in the south area of ​​the bridge.

Because of the dangerous bottle of perfume in his pocket, Abner didn't dare to take the relatively crowded subway.

Rotans Street, where the doctor's home is located, belongs to the southern part of the Jorwood District, not too far from the West District and the South District of the Bridge. There is also a main road at the junction of the three districts, and the traffic is quite convenient.

But at this time, the carriage did not drive towards the road at the junction of the three districts, but ran towards the bridge area to the east.

Abner, who had traveled here for a long time, was already familiar with the roads of Backlund. When he saw that the route was wrong, he was a little surprised and also a little wary and asked the driver: "Why don't you take the Duke Negan Avenue?" Road pit money?

The main road connecting the three districts was funded by Duke Negan, so it was named after him.

"Sir, I just turned back from the Duke's Avenue. There was a serious traffic accident there. It is said that a steam locomotive developed by a nobleman privately researched and manufactured malfunctioned. It suddenly lost control and knocked over seven or eight times in a row. They even destroyed a gas billing station on the side of the road... In short, there is still martial law over there, and many vehicles are blocked, making it impossible to pass through." The coachman turned around and explained.

Is it such a coincidence? Is it because if I don't have the effect of unlocking gold coins, I will also meet the nobleman who experimented with the steam car? Then he was suddenly knocked over and smashed that terrible bottle of perfume by surprise?

Abner thought wildly for a while, and then held the perfume more firmly.

...

On Duke Negan Avenue, the police who heard the news and came to maintain order worked together to pick up the copper pennies scattered all over the floor and put them back into the gas billing device. Only then did the martial law be relaxed, allowing vehicles to pass.

A young police officer who was in charge of counting copper pennies pressed his sore arm and complained to the inspector next to him: "What's the point of counting like this? Who knows how much was lost... According to me, let the noble who caused the accident be responsible Full responsibility and full compensation will be fine.”

"The insurance company thinks so too, Xiao Ke. But you should understand that if we can't provide strong evidence of financial loss, the viscount's lawyer will not let go of this opportunity." The inspector next to him smiled. replied.

At this moment, a carriage that had been stranded on the side of the road slowly passed them.

The young police officer named Xiao Ke glanced subconsciously, and then saw a lady through the carriage window...a lady that he couldn't take his eyes off.

The lady has silky eyes, fair skin, and black hair like waterfalls. She wears a purple low-cut dress that exposes her shoulders. Although she wears a veil on her face,

It was impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture, but it also made the vigorous police officer Xiao Ke throbbing, wishing he could jump into the car and kiss her fingers.

Just when Xiao Ke's eyes were staring straight, and the corner of his mouth curled into a strange smile, the inspector beside him patted his shoulder to wake him up from his fantasy.

"Okay, don't look at it. That's not a lady your kid can climb up to." The inspector shook his head and reminded his younger generation with a smile.

"Inspector, how do you know that I can't climb it? I see that carriage is quite ordinary..." Although Xiao Ke stopped thinking wildly, his eyes still followed the receding carriage, and he said perfunctorily.

"Hehe, you really don't give up, kid...do you see the badge on the back of the carriage?" The inspector patted him again, pointing to the carriageway.

"What's with the badge?" Xiao Ke carefully identified it, and said puzzledly, "I don't think I've seen this badge used by nobles..."

"If you haven't seen it before! The background of the badge is a palace, which represents the royal court. This is the family crest of the court military officer. The lady or lady just now should be a family member of the court military officer. Naturally, you can't afford it. "

"That's it... ah sneeze!" Officer Xiao Ke looked away in disappointment, then suddenly sneezed continuously, and it took a long time for him to recover gradually. Only then did he realize that the inspector next to him was lying on the ground gasping for breath, as if he had suffered a sudden and acute attack of asthma for many years.

...

Holding the Solomon gold coin tightly, Abner arrived outside the Harvest Church on Rose Flower Street in the south area of ​​the bridge without any risk.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Bishop Utravsky, who was as tall as a giant, came out of the church.

"The Mother God foresaw your arrival, come with me." Bishop Utravsky glanced at Abner and smiled gently.

The Goddess of the Earth really paid attention to me. It seems that the Duke of the Blood Race is not lying... Hey, don't the gods all block the barriers in the star world to prevent the invasion of unknown existences? Why are you paying so much attention to me, a little guy? Could it be that my status as a time traveler is so special?

Although Abner also knew that it was impossible for the gods to watch him all the time, at most they would give him a hand when he encountered high-level dangers, just like the fingers just now... But with the current observation intensity, it is already very frightening.

Forget it, think about it from another angle, although I don’t know what price will be used to repay this attention and favor in the future, but it’s actually quite beneficial to me at this stage, isn’t it? Without that person just now, my future may only be left to 'breed' offspring.

Abner comforted himself a few words, adjusted his mentality, and followed Bishop Utravsky into the church.

As soon as he entered the door, Abner saw all kinds of Extraordinary materials placed in the four corners of the hall, and in the middle was a sacred emblem of a simple baby pattern surrounded by wheat ear symbols, flower symbols and spring water symbols.

"The ceremony is ready, give me that thing." Bishop Utravsky put away his smile and said seriously.

"Okay." Abner did not hesitate, and immediately handed the perfume bottle to the other party.

Utravsky carefully took the perfume bottle and placed it on the altar. After bowing his head and praying for a while, he began to chant loudly:

"O Mother Earth, who brings abundance and life to the world,

"You are the fountain of life;

"You are the mother of all things.

...

"I pray for your strength,

"I pray for your favor,

"I pray that you will purify the evil and filth in this bottle of liquid, and give it back the nobility of life and the greatness of abundance."

After the eulogy was finished, Abner felt as if a distorted cry of a baby sounded from the bottle of perfume. Without the power of the Mother Earth, just listening to the voice, he and the giant bishop in front of him would lose control.

Fortunately, the voice began to gradually decrease after crying for a while, and finally disappeared completely.

"I actually carried such a dangerous thing with me just now?" Even though he knew that there was nothing wrong with what he had done, Abner was still a little scared, and then wanted to open his pure white eyes, so that he could analyze himself and make sure Has it been covertly contaminated.

But at this time, Bishop Utravsky, who had finished the ceremony, seemed to know what he was thinking, and walked over and said gently: "Under the blessing of the Mother God, my child, you are safe and sound."

Abner nodded when he heard the words, but he still planned to go back and confirm again. As for how to confirm? In addition to the self-analysis of the pure white eye, he now thought of a simpler method, that is--pray to Mister Fool.

Just pray and say anything.

If Klein responded, it means that he didn't see the problem through the real eyes of Origin Castle. I can also relax.

If Klein doesn't respond for a long time, it's very likely that he was frightened by the abnormality on my body! It means that I am really polluted.

Thinking this way in his heart, on the surface Abner still acted to approve of the other party's comfort, and took the initiative to talk about Dr. Leonardo with Bishop Utravsky in detail.

"Leonardo really had an accident..."

"That night when I received his message and went out, someone took the opportunity to steal the sealed item, and then I was ambushed again..."
