Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 112 The first round of investigation

After hearing Simon's words, Harvey Hayden stepped forward and used the "Whip of Pain" to start the interrogation, and quickly obtained information about Backlund and their accomplices, or instigators.

However, the thieves did not see what the instigator looked like. They only knew that the instigator looked like a man, wearing a hood and a turban, and could not tell the features of his face and hair.

Simon asked: "How did you sneak into my house and steal without our eyes and ears?"

With Harvey Hayden by their side, the thieves felt tremendous pressure, as if a whip that would bring them endless pain was being raised high. As long as they didn't tell the truth, the whip would fall.

"There's no need to deliberately avoid it!" one of the thieves said: "When we entered the Earl's Mansion, we didn't meet anyone at all!"

Several mercenaries looked at each other, how could it be possible? Will the Earl's Mansion not even have a night guard?

Simon said coldly: "You are lying!"

Harvey Hayden immediately put more pressure on the thieves, and the "whip of pain" seemed ready to fall at any moment.

The thieves had some mental breakdown, and they all cried bitterly and said that they did not lie.

Simon frowned and waved his hand towards Harvey Hayden.

Harvey Hayden then let the thieves go.

Hobert has understood that it is not that there are no guards in the Earl's Mansion, but that the people behind the scenes have cleverly avoided all the guards, or deceived the guards.

These thieves were completely taken advantage of, and even their theft behavior was very suspicious. No matter how courageous they were, they would not be stupid enough to steal Count Vincent, who was in good financial condition.

At the end of the interrogation, Simon smiled at Harvey Hayden and said: "If I can catch the instigator behind it, I am willing to pay a reward of 500 pounds."

Harvey Hayden did not agree clearly: "As you can see, the instigators behind them seem to be not simple. I can only help you pay attention to relevant news."

"Okay." Simon said immediately: "If I can provide effective clues, I will also pay a reward of 20 pounds to 50 pounds."

Several mercenaries exchanged glances, and their eyes lit up, but they also knew in their hearts that only "mid-sequence" Harvey Hayden was capable of completing this commission.

The group of people escorted the three thieves on their way back. Harvey Hayden sat in the carriage with Hobert, who was not riding a horse. Before getting in the carriage, he said to Vico: "Go to the forest farm owner's house who fetched water for us at noon. , tell them the thief has been caught and reassure them."

Vico agreed and left the convoy on horseback to report the news.

As the carriage drove slowly toward the city, Harvey Hayden looked at Hobert and smiled: "Every time I see you, it reminds me of the days when I fought behind Christine and Chief Rex.

“I was still a soldier at that time, and I was a witness to their legendary lives.

"Because of the presence of these two officers, the people of Feysac have become polite, the people of Feneport have become more reasonable, and the people of the Spiritual Religion have disappeared."

He sighed: "What a pity, both officers were quickly transferred back to Loen."

Hobert followed this topic and asked: "Are you still Rex's subordinate?" He had been waiting for Harvey Hayden to start to miss the past.

Harvey Hayden nodded: "You must have heard many stories about Commander Rex, right?"

"Yes, but after returning to Loen, their legend seems to be over?"

"That's because Chief Rex can't stand the royal family..." Harvey Hayden looked outside and saw that there were no other mercenaries beside the carriage, so he whispered: "Chief Rex can't stand the royal family. Face, so he chose to leave the army.

"It is said that the royal family wanted to round up Chief Rex at that time, but that was Chief Rex. Of course, the round-up operation failed."

Hobert asked: "What happens next?"

"After that, Chief Rex was completely free. Although the military and the royal family have been wanting him, he often appeared in Backlund." Harvey Hayden said with a smile:

“We have always believed that Chief Christine has never left the military just to serve as Chief Rex’s internal correspondent.

"But he must have done it very cleverly every time he reported the news. No one could catch them. Hahaha, their cooperation has always been so tacit."

Hobert asked again: "Do you know anyone who knows Rex who returned to the Northern Continent?"

"Yes, your father!"

"But he never told me about their experiences after returning to Backlund. He only wanted to tell their stories in the Southern Continent."

Harvey Hayden looked a little gloomy: "I think Chief Christine, who has lost his best friend, must have been very unhappy in these years. The memories after returning to the Northern Continent must be too heavy for him."

He was silent for a few seconds and then said: "You can go to Dix. He was once the captain of Commander Rex's guard. I heard that he followed Commander Rex until he died. Business."

Hobert quickly asked: "Where can I find him?"

"His company is at 1899 Niccolò Street. If you say that you are Chief Christine's eldest son, he will definitely drop everything he is doing to see you."

Hobert quickly took out his notebook and wrote down the address.

The subsequent chats centered around Harvey Hayden's experience in the Southern Continent, which gave Hobert a lot of new understanding of the geography and environment of the Southern Continent.

When the group returned to Backlund, it was completely dark.

Especially in the weather where Backlund is always surrounded by fog. As soon as the sun sets, the city will completely fall into darkness.

Simon took them back to Count Vincent's mansion, paid them, and had the kitchen prepare dinner for them.

After dinner, Hobert and Harvey Hayden left each other's mailing addresses and took taxis home.

Hobert did not immediately go to Viscount Graylingt and tell him about the ring. It was not until the next morning that Hobert came to Graylingt's mansion and asked Graylingt when they met: "Now what time is it?"

Viscount Graylingt immediately understood what Hobert meant. He took out his pocket watch and showed it to Hobert. The hands did not move.

So the two went to the study together, and Hobert briefly described the process of meeting Gray Lint's father's ring yesterday.

Gray Lint was first surprised by Hobert's efficiency, and then he sneered: "Vincent, he has always regarded himself as my father's best friend."

In the end, he also felt it was a pity: "I wonder if we will have a chance to steal the ring?"

"Maybe," Hobert said, "I plan to convene a gathering of the 'Justice League'. Maybe this small organization can develop a few aristocratic children who are as fond of mysticism as you are, and provide us with opportunities to steal rings in the future. "
