"How often do you contact Lina? Does she know you're cursing Hugh? ”

"We usually only contact once every two or three months, and it's still early for the next contact...... She only asked about the results, and didn't know what I was doing. Turner replied blankly.

Hearing this, both Abner and Hugh breathed a sigh of relief. The latter felt that in such a situation, it would be almost impossible for the Gnostics to find her, not to mention that a secret organization might not be able to investigate the disappearance of Sequence 8. Abner, on the other hand, thinks that even if he finds him, it will be a few months later, and he may not be afraid of the other party by then.

"I have a good relationship with MI9, the Night Watchman, and the Machine Heart, and I'll hand over this 'instigator' to them later, a Sequence 8 cult can be worth a lot of bounty if you think so, you won't blame me for taking this money alone, right?" Detective Issinger joked in an exaggerated tone.

Abner knew that the other party was actually protecting himself and Hugh to a greater extent by doing this, after all, if people fell into the hands of the government, the Gnosis Society or the Witch Sect would probably have to die down, after all, they were a secret organization, and they would not confront the Orthodox Church.

Hugh apparently thought of this as well, and hurriedly thanked him again.

After that, the three of them interrogated some other questions, but Turner in front of him was just a gnostic minions and didn't know much more, so they didn't gain much.

After stuning the 'instigator' again, Detective Issinger clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's divide what is on him, and then this matter will end here, and leave the rest to the authorities." ”

With that, he listed the items he had found in front of him, including two badges, a triangular thorn, a star crystal, and about 120 gold pounds in cash.

Detective Isenger looked at the two of Abner, then took the star crystal and the badge of the hermit of destiny into his hands, and said with a smile: "The most valuable thing is actually the Sequence 8 Extraordinary One himself, since he belongs to me, I will take these two more...... You guys are okay with that, right? ”

Hugh hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's all you who are trying to catch this person, these things are yours, how can I have an opinion?" ”

Abner naturally thought so, but he was curious to see what the teacher would give him.

Detective Isenger then picked up the half-destroyed cursed badge and handed it to Abner, saying, "This badge should not be repaired, it has no value to me." However, it can barely be used again, and your current sequence has no combat power, so use it as a hole card. As he spoke, he transferred the 120 pounds in cash again, and continued, "You can take the money too, the occult experiments in the coming days will cost a lot of money, and I will reimburse you in advance for these things, teacher." ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Abner didn't mean anything polite, although he still had 350 gold pounds on him, but this amount of money may be a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but it is really a drop in the bucket for the extraordinary.

On the other side, Hugh saw that Issinger was looking at him again, and hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Don't think about me, you are helping me in this matter, and I haven't helped much...... How can I be embarrassed to share the spoils...... "She's not as cheeky as Abner, not to mention that Abner is the other party's student, so even if she divides things, it's a matter of course."

Isenger laughed, pushed the three-edged thorn in front of Hugh, and said undoubtedly, "Miss Hugh, don't be so outside!" You forgot? You speculated that this 'instigator' would commit murder in the bar, so why didn't you help? Take it, I just identified it, this three-edged thorn is actually very general, there is only one kind of toxin on it that is difficult to detect, which is equivalent to an ordinary weapon with quenched poison, and it is not worth anything. ”

Hugh originally wanted to refuse, but he felt that he was not cool enough to accept it when it came to this part, so he had to take the three-edged thorn, and silently decided to find an opportunity to return this favor.

After the three of them finished dividing the "thief's dirt", Detective Isenger didn't know what ability he used, but he actually took the 'instigator' Turner in his hand as if he were nothing, and said to Abner and the others: "I'll send him to the official now, and you should go back and rest early." ”

Abner was about to answer, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he hesitated for a moment before reminding, "Teacher, you can give him to the Night Watch or the Machine Heart, but it's best not to go to MI9." ”

Detective Isenger turned around and wondered, "Why, is there anything wrong with MI9?" ”

Abner thought for a moment and said in a thoughtful tone, "Some people in the military seem to be doing human trafficking as well, and I'm afraid they will be bad for you." ”

"You're saying there's the military's involvement behind this?" Isenger frowned, confused, "Why the hell did they do that?" And Abner, how would you know? ”

"My mother was also trafficked before...... I did some research......" Abner lied half-truthfully.

"I see......" Detective Issinger nodded abruptly.

Hugh looked at Abner with some pity, she didn't expect the other party to have such an unfortunate experience, but she didn't think that her father was technically a victim of this incident.

"I see...... Don't worry, you teacher and I know very well how to deal with the authorities! ”

Eisinger waved his hand at the two of them, and then carried Turner and disappeared into the well, moving with agility that did not look like an old man at all.

Hugh and Abner waited a moment before returning to the surface through another exit in the sewers. Since it was late, the horse-drawn carriage and subway were no longer in operation, and the two had to walk home.

Hugh is currently renting a house in the Bridge District, and he said goodbye to Abner halfway through.

Watching Abner leave, Hugh almost jumped in fright as soon as he turned around. Because a lady with slightly curly brown hair in a beige stand-up collar dress was looking at her faintly like a female ghost less than a meter behind her.

"Furth, where did you 'open the door' again? Scared the hell out of me! Hugh let out a long sigh of relief when he saw who was coming.

"Do you know how worried I am if I don't go home for a day and a night and don't leave a message? I didn't think you were going out on a date with a man! Tell me, who was that guy just now? Although this was a complaint, the hint of banter in Forth's pale blue eyes revealed the nature of her gossip. Of course, she knew that Hugh was definitely going to get down to business, but she just wanted to see how embarrassed she looked.

Hugh Wenyan had a serious face, she knew that she couldn't argue with her friend about this kind of thing, otherwise she would only be the one who suffered, so she deliberately changed the topic in a frightened tone: "Folth, Abner is my friend, and without his help today, I probably won't be able to come back......"

Furth was really taken aback by Hugh's words, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"That's a long story...... Let's talk as we go! Hugh quietly breathed a sigh of relief as he recounted the events of the past two days. Of course, she did not reveal the identity of Detective Isinger, nor did she talk about Abner's mentorship and apprenticeship with him, only that Abner invited a strong man to come forward to catch the attacker.

"Hugh, we're best friends! In the future, you must tell me this kind of thing, if I am by your side, even if I can't beat that 'instigator', you know, with this, I am sure to take you to escape! Firth said as he raised his bracelet before continuing, "That cursed badge shouldn't have a lot of effect, as long as you escape far enough, you'll be safe." ”

Speaking of this, she didn't wait to answer, changed the topic again, and said jokingly: "But the guy named Abner obviously handled it better, and he was willing to pay so much for you, isn't it interesting to you?" ”

Hugh shook his head and said with certainty: "He doesn't have that kind of mind!" "This point, whether from the attitude or from the look, Hugh, as the 'arbiter', can be sure.

"Then how could he be so dedicated to helping you? According to what you said, you've only seen two or three sides? As a roommate, Furth also knew that Hugh's instincts were exceptionally accurate, so he was even more curious.

"I don't know...... But I always felt that he seemed to have known me for a long time...... Hugh was actually a little confused, but she was sure that Abner really had no bad intentions, so she didn't plan to delve into it.

……

Abner went to sleep when he returned to his residence in the East End, and the day was too exciting for him, and the constant opening of the white eyes in the afternoon to study made him quite physically and mentally exhausted.

But even so, early the next morning, he still arrived at the subway station in the East End on time, and then saw that Hugh was already waiting there.

They had made an appointment to meet here in the morning when they parted last night.

"I've kept you waiting!" Abner was apologetic, after all, he lived closer to here.

"It doesn't matter, let's go now. The location is in the northern suburbs, which is somewhat remote. Let's take the subway to the North District first, and then transfer to a horse-drawn carriage! Hugh didn't care about the little things, and said it vigorously.

After about forty minutes, the two stopped in front of a remote and somewhat dilapidated manor.

Abner looked at the manor, which looked like a horror movie set, and said hesitantly, "This is where you said you can shoot targets for free?" ”

Hugh nodded and replied, "There's a shooting range in the backyard of the manor...... And I have the key to the back door. ”

"Even if this place is dilapidated, it's a manor near Beckland, and there won't be no people looking at the house, right?" Will it be blasted out if it is discovered?

Hugh understood what Abner meant, and explained, "This is actually my family's former resort estate...... After my father's accident, the place was sold to a wealthy merchant, but for some reason, the people who lived here had accidents one after another, and there was rumors of haunting, so it was dilapidated...... Now there is only an old servant guarding here, who was originally a servant of my family, a deaf and mute, and his father took good care of him when he was there...... So as long as you don't try to get inside the house, it's not a big problem. ”

In other words, don't say that he can't hear the sound of gun practice, even if he hears it, he can sell your face, and he won't care? is worthy of being a descendant of the nobles of the court, even if he is down, he has so many connections! Abner quickly grasped the essence of Hugh's words.

Hugh, on the other hand, was certain from Abner's unsurprised look:

He knew who my father was!

He's known me for a long time!

He seems to know a lot of secrets!

So, will he know why his father was wronged?
