Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

On the carriage ride back, Hobert was still nervous. It wasn't until he got off the embassy carriage and returned to his office that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Hobert calmed down, and after some deliberation and conjecture, the structure of this matter gradually became clear to him: It should be someone sent by Tim or someone from the "Judgment Team" during the negotiation between the "Dawn Knight" and Kelly. Jessica was followed.

However, they did not track the negotiation location in the suburbs. It may be because they are easy to detect when stalking in the suburbs at night, or it may be for other reasons. They do not know the specific movements of Hobert and others, and they cannot determine whether they killed the person. of……

No, no, Hobert realized that if this was the case, they would "rather believe it than believe it has nothing" and should have launched retaliatory actions long ago.

Hobert thought that at that time he was wearing a fire-paint badge made of "Order Crystal", so he could not find the murderer through extraordinary means.

The information they have should be very little, and Tim has no way of identifying the murderer.

Perhaps the only clue they have is that Hobert was also involved in the matter. This should be a clue determined based on subsequent investigations and information obtained from the "Judgment Team".

Following this clue, they could of course find out that Hobert and Jessica left in a carriage on last Tuesday night.

Although after the four members of the "Judgment Team" disappeared, Hobert and the other three were the biggest suspects, but a 'craftsman' who was not good at fighting, a Sequence 7, and a Sequence 9, could not be killed silently. Burton et al.

Through several of Tim's questions, it was confirmed that they did not believe that it was Hobert and others who killed the people.

Therefore, Hobert and the other three people will be used as bait to bring out the "big fish behind".

After today's "interrogation", Hobert believes that Tim should continue to observe and take new actions only after finding new clues.

Hobert decided to find an opportunity to put on a mask and use his "travel" ability to fight back, create alibi for himself, and completely clear his suspicions.

Thinking of this, Hobert frowned. In this way, Jessica and Kelly should be in some danger now.

Kelly had moved and might not be found so easily by the "Judgment Team", but Jessica had been working normally during this period, and it was easy for the "Judgment Team" people to find Jessica.

He was about to call Jessica over to give her a few words, but before his raised hand touched the bell's pull cord, he suddenly thought: "Tim will not do anything bad to Jessica and Kelly. If Sika or Kelly were to capture him, it would almost be 'playing a bright card'.

"MI9 knows that Ambassador Fenebaud suddenly captured a wild Extraordinary, and will definitely investigate. This investigation will easily lead to the 'Judgment Team'.

“Of course the Loen royal family won’t care about the life and death of a ‘low-sequence’ wild Beyonder, but they will definitely use this to blackmail the Feneport Kingdom severely!

"If Tim had a brain, he wouldn't do this, but he still has to prevent Jessica and Kelly from being found by the 'Judgment Team'."

Thinking of this, Hobert still pulled the bell's cord.

This kind of bell design is very popular in Backlund's offices or homes. There is a rope on the supervisor's side. As long as the rope is pulled, the bell on the assistant or secretary's side will ring.

The assistant knows that the supervisor has something to do with him, so he immediately goes to the supervisor's office.

In the home version of the bell, the rope head is in the master's room and the bell is in the servant's room.

Because electricity was not yet widely available, electric bells did not exist yet.

Ten seconds later, Jessica appeared at the door.

Hobert raised his neck, then pointed to the opposite side of the desk: "Sit."

Jessica understood what Hobert meant, closed the door, and sat across from Hobert.

"In the recent period, you have to beware of retaliation from the 'Judgment Team'. If that doesn't work, take a period of leave. I will communicate with Barrister Barton and wait two or three months for you to come back to work normally."

Jessica was stunned: "Did you get any news?"

"That's right." Hobert said: "That 'Dawn Knight' is a key member of the 'Judgement' after all, and they will definitely investigate.

"And we made an appointment with the people of the 'Judgment Team' to negotiate, but something happened to the people of the 'Judgment Team'. Of course, you and Kelly are the biggest suspects."

During the negotiations, Hobert never imagined that the four Beyonders had such a deep background, let alone that there would be an ambassador to help with the investigation.

Hearing Hobert's explanation, Jessica was obviously relieved: "Even if they find our current residence, they will never dare to take action. And with you at the law firm, I am safe, so there is no need to worry."

This time it was Hobert's turn to be stunned: "So confident?"

Jessica smiled and nodded.

Hobert smiled: "Okay. Oh, by the way, I have prepared some extraordinary materials for Kelly. Wait for tomorrow... No, I have something to do tomorrow. You can bring it back to her on Saturday."

"You can hand it over to Kelly yourself." Jessica smiled and said, "We completely trust you and are not afraid that you will know our current hiding place."

"Okay, I want to see where you are hiding now, you are so confident."

After Jessica left, Hobert spent the entire afternoon at work.

In fact, he has nothing to be busy with. Most of the time he is processing some documents, helping several of his lawyers review their defense plans, etc.

After get off work, Hobert took a taxi back to his home in Queens. As soon as the carriage walked out of a street, Hobert saw an artist performing a "puppet show" on the street.

The entertainment methods of this era were very scarce for AD people like Hobert, but for people of this era, they were quite abundant.

The more elegant ones include drama, opera, dance, symphony, etc., and the more popular ones include circus performances and the "Eight Music Car" that can often be seen on Backlund Street, also called the "Magic Music Car".

The appearance of the "Magic Sound Car" is generally the shape of a cart. There is a box on the car, or some animal-like shape. There is a handle outside the shape. As long as you use the handle to wind up, you can start playing music.

In fact, inside the shape, it is an eight-note drum. For citizens who rarely hear music, this is a good entertainment project.

This is actually a way to attract customers. Small vendors will sell some small toys, small tools, cosmetics and other things used by the children's mothers after the music plays and many children are attracted.

Another common one is "puppet show". For Hobert, who has watched cartoons, puppet show is actually not interesting.

First of all, the bald old man imitating the princess' speech made people feel that it was a show. Secondly, the movements of the puppets were actually very stiff. In many cases, they were actually dragged back and forth on the small stage by ropes.

However, it still attracted a lot of spectators, most of whom were children and some citizens who had finished their work for the day.

The main source of income for puppeteers is the rewards from the audience.

The children would use the few pennies they had to ask the puppeteers to continue performing.

Hobert, who was sitting in the carriage today, glanced at the puppet show on the street, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: Could the bald puppet actor be a "secret puppet master"?

Following this line of thinking, Hobert suddenly thought of an application of the "State of Disorder", and he planned to go to the "State of Disorder" to try it out at night.

Back home, the dining table was much deserted. At the dining table, Hobert told Christine that he planned to follow a mercenary team to explore an ancient tomb tomorrow.

"Be careful yourself. You have to be more careful about your teammates than the ancient tombs, and to prevent people who have been targeting you for a long time." Kristine seemed to have thought of something: "Don't be burdened, just do what you want." Just live a normal life, there is no need to worry that your actions will conflict with me."

Hobert nodded: "I understand."

After dinner, Christine asked Hobert to go to the study.

When he came to the study, Hobert realized that the three magical items were ready, a table knife, a small wine glass, and a spoon.

The spoon is larger and deeper than the "psychological spoon", so it's easy to tell the difference between the two.

No need to ask, this must be the master craftsman that the original owner's biological mother found to make magical items. Hobert didn't understand, why did that craftsman get involved with the tableware?

The appearance of these magical objects was so ridiculous that they were originally looking for someone to fight with, but ended up going there with knives and forks.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were going to a restaurant to eat and went to the wrong place.

After thanking Christine, Hobert took the three magical items and returned to the room to study them.
