Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Backlund, Queens.

A copy of "Backlund Daily" was open and placed on the soft stool.

Next to the soft stool, a golden retriever was lying on the carpet. It was reading a book open in front of it line by line, often stretching out its paws to turn the pages.

The beautiful girl stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the flowers in front of the window in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. The girl, flowers, and floor-to-ceiling windows formed an excellent composition.

After a while, the girl Audrey suddenly said: "Susie, he lied."

Susie the Golden Retriever folded a corner of the page and closed the book: "Who are you talking about? Audrey."

Audrey pointed to the newspaper: "Mr. Hobert."

"He cheated on your feelings?"

Audrey smiled helplessly: "Susie, you should read less romance novels. Well, you can read some poetry collections, or the psychology textbooks I collected."

Susie stretched out a paw to hold down the romance novel in front of her: "Okay."

"I remember when I first met Mr. Hobert, he said that he did not represent justice." Audrey said, "But he has always done justice."

Susie picked up the newspaper on the soft stool, spread it out on the carpet and looked at it: "Oh, my God, he is in the newspaper again. It is another very challenging case!"

"Yes, his reputation will definitely suffer from this." Audrey said: "I am planning to launch a 'Justice League' gathering next week to see if I can help this gentleman with a righteous heart."

"That's a great idea, Audrey." Susie asked, "Can I come along?"

"Well, we can't Susie for the time being." Seeing that Susie was a little disappointed, Audrey followed up and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you to join the club."

"Hobert!" Xio at the dining table shook the newspaper in his hand: "We actually had to read the newspaper to find out that you had done another big thing!"

Hobert smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this case would have such a huge impact!"

This is true.

Forsi said worriedly: "Hobert, although your speech in court is very exciting, the gentlemen and ladies of Backlund should be more concerned that you are defending a street girl."

Xiu also said: "Yes, there will definitely be people criticizing your motives behind your back."

Hobert poured the hot milk into three cups: "Two ladies, sometimes we care about the opinions of some unimportant people, which is completely flattering them."

Xio and Forsi felt that Hobert's idea was very new, so they got up and came over to bring the milk, while listening carefully.

Hobert smiled and said: "I have recently figured out that there is no need to care so much about the opinions of some people who are not important in our lives.

"On the other hand, Miss Emma, ​​the client on the other side, regards me as her last hope. If I don't take action, the defendant's bad behavior will not be stopped.

"Honestly, it feels good to be a hero."

The three of them ate toast and drank hot milk.

Hugh sighed: "Justice never goes out of style."

Hobert smiled: "I just did something that I thought was right. It has nothing to do with justice. Well, I am not a person who advocates justice."

As he spoke, he stood up and put on his windbreaker: "I'm going to be late again, so I have to ask you to clean up the tableware."

"No problem." Forsi waved the toast in his hand: "After all, we enjoyed your toast and hot milk."

Picking up his cane, Hobert hurried to the law firm. When he reached the door of the firm, he slowed down and entered his office seemingly calmly.

After working until about ten o'clock, Jessica came to his office to report: "Lawyer Hobert, until now, I have taken on four cases similar to Ms. Emma's."

Hobert nodded: "Let you handle it all. If you have any problems that can't be solved, come to me to discuss it."

Jessica agreed, and just as she was about to turn around, Hobert stopped her again: "I have something private to ask you for help with."

Jessica closed the door of the office and sat opposite Hobert: "Say."

"According to my observation, your friend Kelly should be a 'craftsman', right?"

Jessica was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had given Lawyer Hobert a key ring before, and then she nodded: "That's right."

"I want to entrust her to help me build a weapon." Hobert said straight to the point: "I hope you can help me broker this deal."

"It just so happens that she also has something she might want to entrust you with." Jessica said, "How about we find a restaurant in the evening? Let's talk while we eat."

"Not tonight, I have an appointment." Hobert said: "And the restaurant is not a good place to talk. Let's talk in the office tomorrow. If you are worried, you can find a quieter place where you can talk safely. I’ll go find you.”

"Then let's come to the office."

Hobert smiled and nodded, and Jessica said goodbye and left.

When you are busy, time flies.

In the afternoon, Hobert was about to take a break when Jessica handed over letters from Elizabeth and Selina.

After opening Elizabeth's letter, she exchanged a few words. She said that she occasionally had the same nightmare during this period, dreaming of a bull-headed monster with golden antlers.

She had had a similar experience before, and got out of that continuous nightmare with the help of a friend, but now that friend was gone.

Elizabeth went to the "Soothsayers Club" to find other fortune tellers for help, but the advice they gave was ineffective.

Elizabeth then discussed the topic of soothsayers in her letter. She said that she had met a gentleman who really understood the occult, which gave her a new understanding of the occult.

After contacting soothsayers during this period, she found that there seemed to be two types of soothsayers. One type was very accurate in predicting and rarely interpreted symbolic meanings. A kind of explanation that always makes some symbolic meanings, and the more it is said, the more confusing it becomes.

She asked Hobert how to distinguish between the two kinds of soothsayers. And ask Hobert if he has any solution to this problem?

Finally she talked about Melissa. She invited Melissa to go to Backlund to relax, but Melissa didn't agree.

Hobert took this letter and thought in his mind: "Elizabeth seems to be a little more spiritual than normal people. Through observation, you can vaguely detect the difference between a real 'divineer' and an ordinary fortune-teller.

"Maybe it's because of her higher spirituality that she recalled some memories hidden by the 'Psychic Spoon' during her unconscious sleep."

Then Hobert thought: "The gentleman she was talking about who really understands mysticism should be Klein!"

He remembered that Mr. Ke helped Elizabeth solve an incident involving evil spirits.

After thinking about it for a while, Hobert wrote back to Elizabeth, telling her that he could solve the nightmare problem she encountered, but he had to solve it face to face.

He suggested that Elizabeth should stop looking for fortune tellers casually, because in daily life, it is difficult to meet a real "expert".

Finally, he talked about Melissa. He invited Melissa's brother to come to Backlund as a guest to see the "Clock of Order" and the Russell Memorial Exhibition.
