“...... I found at least three different levels of the same gear, so I thought it was an organization. ”

Although things seem to be getting worse and worse in the face of a bigger problem now, it is not without good news, all the previous clues can be connected, so that one corner of the puzzle can be pieced together, at least this proves that their investigation is in the right direction.

"I found similar gear symbols in four different places, namely, in Nightingale's investigation manual, in Victor's related materials, in Albert's investigation materials, and in St. Peter's Examination Center, all of which were slightly different in shape, and were not completely identical. ”

"However, I didn't know much about the deconstruction of the psionic circle before, and I was vaguely able to catch those anomalies, but I couldn't say why, but now that I know enough about deconstruction, I found the gear symbol in the private file today, and everything is connected. ”

"Cogwheels, it's a hidden thread that's always there, and I believe, has different uses and meanings in different locations. I even once suspected that maybe this was a warning sign, which is why Victor and Nightingale were found, but I still lack valid evidence to support it. ”

"Semiotics, it's still too mysterious. ”

Speaking of which, Hordon could not hide his eagerness to try, and did not feel frustration at all because of the difficulties, but was full of excitement and excitement to explore the unknown.

Along with Horden's words, those scattered clues all found a clear vein, inextricably linked to an arrow, and finally pointed to Count Gustav.

As Hoden said, it doesn't matter whether Count Gustav is innocent or not, but now the clues do lead Hoden to the famous earl.

So, what's next?

Count Gustav, Mr. Harford's dinner, the missing poor students and the homeless man, there must be a clue behind these events, and it is easy to connect everything, maybe it is the motive, maybe the purpose, but now they still have nothing to gain.

Originally, Haddon thought that the waiters were goods, but Brutus didn't find out about the black market, which brought them back to chaos. There should be a hidden thread in the dark, and all Hodden needs to do now is be patient to find the answer.

"Hoden?"

Thunder Peters' call made Horden retract his gaze and look towards the source of the sound, and then he could see the seriousness on Thunder Peters' face, "I just said, maybe, I can hold a dinner party at home, invite Count Gustav to attend, and see this count up close." ”

Beyond the carriage, Count Gustav could be seen in the distance.

After a brief exchange, Hordon and his party arrived in the upper city in a carriage, and Ray Peters hoped to see the coat of arms outside Count Gustav's carriage, and although he had just experienced a "seeing is not believing" adventure in the office of the Antu Auctions, most of the time, people still trusted their eyes more.

Count Gustav always behaved in a very high-profile manner, either at the banquet or on the way to the banquet, and only a little inquiry was needed to track down Count Gustav - tonight, Count Gustav attended the banquet of Mills, the second largest chamber of commerce in Iwakus.

At this time, Count Gustav was standing at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, greeting the host of the banquet with a smile, his eyebrows were full of joy, and he did not have the timid appearance of the security team in the third jurisdiction before, but his slightly frivolous and greasy movements were highly consistent with the rumors.

If Count Gustav is really behind the scenes, then his acting skills are indeed admirable, and it is not a problem to kill a few Oscar winners in seconds.

Holden showed a shallow smile at Ray Peters, "At the dinner party, he will never expose any horses, his reputation over the years should be his dedication to management, if he is consciously acting, we can't detect the abnormality, because we don't know his true character." ”

"However," Hoden then changed his words, "invitations can still be invited, and close observation and dialogue can always find different clues." Count Gustav probably doesn't like me, because I always remind him of the bloody scenes, but you can try to see it. ”

Ray Peters looked again at Count Gustav's carriage, and his eyes fell on the badge—

The badge has changed again.

It's hard to detect the anomaly just by observing or looking, but by concentrating, entering the deconstructed state of the psionic circle, and fully condensing the psionic energy on the eyes, you can capture the changes in the size of the black bean, very, very secretive, but not completely invisible, provided that you master the correct method-

Without Holden's puzzle, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to detect this little bit of anomaly.

The gears, sure enough, exist.

However, this time the gears hidden in the badge are slightly different, and they are not what Holden portrayed before, which indirectly proves Holden's guess:

There is hidden information in the gears, but these information is not a simple symbol or password, but a cipher password, which must follow certain rules or routines to be able to decipher, in other words, only insiders can interpret it, and for laymen, even if they see hidden information, it is a bunch of heavenly books.

Including Holden.

This also means that the anomaly of the coat of arms cannot be used as evidence for reference, and Count Gustav can simply say that it is a pattern that does not make any sense, and even because it cannot be deciphered, so that Hoden cannot prove that his idea is correct, and cannot be used as "direct evidence".

Even with their own eyes, Raypeters and Brutus were not able to come back to their senses immediately, including Robben.

This is definitely not the Count Gustav they had heard of since they were children.

Tonight, though, wasn't without its takeaways.

"Have you noticed the emblem of the Mills Chamber of Commerce?" said Holden's voice unhurriedly.

In the onslaught of the successive bombshell news, both Ray Peters and Brutus had become accustomed to it, and Brutus casually asked, "What's wrong? Is there a gear hidden in it?"

"Hmm. Holden directly gave a positive answer, but Brutus almost choked on his own saliva, "It's a little dark now, and I can't be sure of the details, but on the whole, the Mills Chamber of Commerce should be the boss behind the St. Peter's Inspection Center." ”

Robben stared silently at the emblem of the Mills Chamber of Commerce, as if he could burn it into a black hole with his eyes.

Brutus rubbed his temples, "I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown when I see the gears again from today." ”
