Mystery: The Return of the Stars

Fuck!

Hasta's eyelids twitched twice, blood flowed faster, and his heartbeat also jumped wildly.

He really didn't expect that Bard's head would appear in front of him in such a bizarre way!

Who killed Bard and threw his head to him?

Hasta's mind was racing, and he held his cane tightly, alert.

Is he really dead?

Is this head really Bard's head?

Thinking of this, Hasta drew out the sword in the cane and pierced through the eyes of the head with a sword to confirm whether he was really dead.

At the same time, he opened his spiritual vision and scanned the surroundings. He didn't find anything unusual, so he was relieved.

He walked forward and flattened the note with the tip of the sword.

"A friendly gift." A big A was written at the end.

"Mr. A..."

Hasta's expression became weird.

This style of behavior is indeed in line with his understanding of Mr. A, a madman.

Who would send a bloody head to express friendship?

And it was in the middle of the night!

This amazing train of thought is worthy of being the crazy beauty from the Aurora Society!

"What exactly does he want to do?"

Hasta thought a lot, but it was hard to figure out what Mr. A's purpose was.

After all, he is not a madman, and it is difficult to be on the same channel with a madman.

Judging from the current situation, Mr. A seems to be showing goodwill to himself?

Does he really want me to join the Aurora Society?

Or is there something about himself that deserves his attention?

"Could it be that he appeared there when Earl Richard held the ceremony last time, also to protect himself?"

Another terrible idea popped up in Hasta's mind.

According to Mr. A's madness, if he really wants to take action, he will never choose to give up because of fear of Miss Sharon.

He really didn't want to take action that night, so he could live in peace with Miss Sharon.

Hasta frowned slightly, and the more he thought about it, the weirder it felt.

Is Mr. A's behavior simply the behavior of a madman, or is there another meaning?

I can't figure it out.

Hasta sighed, put away his messy thoughts, and looked at the head in front of him with a headache.

Mr. A killed Bard, no matter what the reason, it was a good thing for him, but Mr. A wanted to send this head to him!

What can he do?

It's impossible to pretend that nothing happened, right?

After thinking for a while, Hasta destroyed the small note, called Butler Neil and others in panic, pointed to the head on the table, briefly told them what happened just now, and asked them to go to the police station to call the police.

Pretending that nothing happened would naturally be the most convenient choice, but he is a noble and has a clean family. Facing such a ridiculous thing, calling the police is the most normal choice.

In addition, the night watchman has been staring at this place. Although he doesn't know where they were led by Mr. A, he will definitely come back to investigate afterwards.

He can't show anything too abnormal.

After calling the police, the person who came was still Sheriff Reed.

He simply asked a few questions, took notes, and asked the accompanying police officers to leave the room first, and stayed alone with Hasta.

"The murderer who secretly sent the head is most likely trying to intimidate you through this crazy behavior. You need police protection recently."

"Well, you are right, I do need protection. This is a bad night."

"Think carefully about what happened during this period and see if you have any grudges with anyone."

"I don't think so. I rarely go out, let alone have any grudges with anyone."

Hasta did not tell anything about Mr. A. He was going to wait for the night watcher to fall asleep and then explain everything.

Only true and false can deceive the night watchers.

Sometimes, appropriate deception is to better gain people's trust.

After Sheriff Reed learned about everything, he asked the two police officers to stay and set up several secret guards outside the house.

At three or four o'clock in the night, Hasta was sleeping.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in his dream.

He was wearing a black windbreaker, about 1.75 meters tall, with a blurred face and unable to see his facial features.

The night watcher is here!

Hasta woke up instantly, but he quickly put on a confused look.

Peter walked slowly, conjured up a sofa and a chair, and raised his hand to signal Hasta to sit down.

Hasta walked to the sofa and sat down blankly. Peter was stunned for a moment. He clearly invited him to sit on that chair, and the sofa was prepared for himself.

"Baron Hasta Campbell, I have a few things to ask you. I hope you can answer truthfully and don't lie."

Hasta just nodded blankly.

Peter sat on the chair and said calmly, "How did you find out that Dean Bard is a demon?"

"I have come into contact with some extraordinary knowledge and know that demons like to sacrifice living people... So many children died there. What else can he be but a demon!"

Peter raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What I want to ask is how did you find out that Dean Bard had a problem?"

"I have never trusted him. Dean Daen is stupid and greedy. He can't be a cunning demon. Only Deputy Dean Bard who likes to pretend to be a good person fits the description of a demon the most."

Hasta paused and said with a silly smile: "Actually, I'm not sure if he is a demon, but I think you should have a way to identify his true identity."

Are you using our Nighthawks as a tester?

This is really in line with the nobles' usual style.

Peter continued to ask: "What happened tonight?"

"I was sleeping, and I don't know who opened the window and threw a big box into the house. There was a head in the big box, Bud's head. I was very scared, so I asked Butler Neil and others to go to the police station to report it."

"Did you lie about anything in this matter?"

"Yes, there was a small note on the big box. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I destroyed the small note."

"What did the note say?"

"This is a gift, and the signature is an A."

Peter immediately became alert, "A? Do you know who the other party is?"

"I once attended an extraordinary party. The organizer of the party was called Mr. A. I think it might be him."

"Why did Mr. A give you this gift?"

"I don't know."

Hasta showed a puzzled look. He didn't know what Mr. A's purpose was.

"Why did you hide the note when you called the police?"

"I was afraid of getting into trouble. It's better to have less trouble than more."

Then Peter asked a few more questions, and Hasta tried his best to cooperate with him to complete this questioning.

"Don't try to deceive if you encounter this kind of thing again, otherwise you will bring real trouble to yourself."

Leaving the last warning, Peter got up and left Hasta's dream.

Hasta still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, breathing very steadily.

He knew that after this test, he would not attract the attention of the Church of the Goddess of Night for the time being, and they should pay more attention to Mr. A.

As for whether this would offend Mr. A?

He has been thinking about it, and it doesn't matter whether he offends him or not.

It's just that he dared to show up like this tonight, and he was probably prepared to be discovered, and it should be difficult for the night watchman to catch him.

Hasta didn't think too long and fell asleep.

The next day, the news of Bard's death came out, and Professor Wayne and Lecturer Folen came specially.

The news they received was that Bard wanted to break into a baron's house to assassinate him last night, but was shot dead by the police who had already set up a trap nearby.

At the same time, the police also sentenced Bard to death, and listed him and Dean Daen as accomplices, who together caused a series of tragedies in the Sunrise Poorhouse.

The police report did not mention Hasta's name, but only mentioned that a baron made a significant contribution to the case.

Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren, who knew the inside story, naturally understood that the baron was referring to Hasta, and they came together after class in the morning.

"I trusted Bud too much, and I didn't expect that he was the real culprit!"

Professor Wayne blamed himself very much. In order to express his apology, he gave Hasta the plantation title deed worth tens of thousands of pounds. This time, Hasta did not refuse.

After all, this matter was all because of Professor Wayne, otherwise he would not have gone to the poorhouse and been targeted by a demon, resulting in what happened last night.

One adventure, and earned a plantation title deed, it's worth it to think about it.

Hasta showed great tolerance for this, and a few words easily moved Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren.

After sending Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren away, Hasta asked Butler Neil to send someone to investigate the current status of the ancestral property.

At around 4 p.m., Sheriff Reed came again. In addition to asking some small questions, he also brought a reward from the police station.

2,000 gold pounds!

This time, the case of the Sunrise Workhouse caused the death of nearly a hundred children, which shocked the entire Backlund.

Because their police station handled the case quickly, they promptly discovered the true face of Bud and shot him on the spot, preventing the tragedy from continuing. They showed their faces in the entire Backlund.

Even received the king's commendation!

As the biggest contributor to this case, Hastur naturally received a reward that belonged to him.

According to Sheriff Reed, the king even considered directly rewarding a commendation.

But he couldn't be sure whether it was true or not, he just heard his boss mention it.

Hastur was naturally very happy to get another bounty for nothing.

But then, he was stunned.

Half of the credit for such a bounty was given to him by Mr. A.

Otherwise, with the ability of the Night Watcher, it would be difficult to kill a hiding demon in a short time.

If Bard hadn't died, this case wouldn't have been settled so quickly.

All the gifts given by fate had already been secretly marked with a price.

He didn't think he could accept the gift from Mr. A with a clear conscience.

If he couldn't figure out Mr. A's purpose as soon as possible, he would have to pay the price in the future.

...

The Hall of Stars.

Hastur appeared as the master of the stars, looking at the star where the lamp god was, and a chain of order was swung out to lead the lamp god to come.
