Kaupsti? Susan didn't say I forgot about him...... Abner thought for a moment and decided to take care of the matter, although Roman didn't know him very well, he was also a friend of the original owner, so he didn't mind doing it without much effort.

Abner organized the language, repeated the words that had scared Jane to Susan again, and finally said solemnly: "In short, whether Mr. Kaupsti intended it or not, his behavior is likely to be illegal, and you can't let Roman follow him around." ”

"So what should I do?" Susan was stunned by Abner's tone and asked in a bit of a panic.

"All you have to do is repeat what I just said to your mother, and I'm sure Sheriff Fiona can take care of it." Abner replied with a smile. It is more reliable to report this kind of thing to the police.

Susan nodded thoughtfully, deeply feeling that after Senior Abner became a detective, his bearing, thinking about problems and handling things have changed a lot from before...... In comparison, whether it is her, Roman, or even Custer, who was admitted to university, still seems a little naïve.

Later, Mike's reporter also came by appointment, and Abner took the initiative to greet him and express his gratitude to him.

Reporter Mike waved his hand and said, "This is something we have said a long time ago, so there is no need to be so polite." Maybe I will need your help when I go to some special places to conduct interviews and surveys in the future. ”

After the two chatted a little, it was almost eight o'clock. Detective Isenger no longer waited in the foyer, and led Abner to the second floor of the public ballroom, where he stood behind the railing facing the doorway and motioned for the invited band to stop.

After all the guests had looked over, the Beckland detective spoke aloud:

"It's a pleasure to be here and thank you for coming......"

"I've prepared some music and food for everyone, I hope you can enjoy it......"

At this point, he asked Abner to take another step forward and continued:

"Also, here I formally introduce my student Abner Blaine, who is already a detective who can take charge on his own, and whose solved cases have even made it to the second page of the Daily Observer......"

"He is still very young and needs the support of his friends and peers......"

Then, after Abner had also given a brief speech and speech, they descended the stairs to the dance floor in the lobby on the first floor, where they were ready to invite the ladies to the opening dance.

As he was pushed to the front of the stage, Abner had become the protagonist of the ball, and he naturally had to start the opening dance.

Normally, at the beginning of the dance, the married host must be looking for his spouse, and the unmarried men and women either dance with their relatives of the opposite sex or invite their favorite objects, which belongs to an alternative blind date.

But Abner had neither a suitable target nor a relative, and was a little embarrassed in the matter.

Fortunately, Ms. Fiona, the female police chief of the North District, relieved him in time, and as the mother of Abner's classmate, she can be counted as an elder, and it is appropriate to dance the opening dance with her. As for why not Susan? She is not yet old enough to officially socialize, and she can't dance on such occasions.

The two enter the dance floor and dance to a country-like tune. It wasn't until near the end of the opening dance that Lady Fiona suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"Susan has already told me about it...... You're sensitive to these kinds of illegal incidents, and you're a detective who can make it to a mainstream newspaper at such a young age. Susan is in contact with you, and I am relieved. ”

Why doesn't that sound right? It's as if I have a leg with your daughter...... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be modest: "You have won the prize." ”

After the opening dance, Abner followed behind the teacher to visit the invited detectives one by one, and when he walked to Detective Zereel, the Fursak's spy suddenly smiled and said to Abner: "Young man, I currently have a commission in my hand, because it is very cumbersome, so there is not enough manpower, would you like to help me share some of it?" I am willing to pay a deposit of 5 pounds, and if the employer is satisfied, I will pay you another 5 pounds. ”

"Hello, Detective Zerrell." Abner first said hello, and then asked with some vigilance, "I wonder what kind of commission?" ”

The detective's 5-pound commission was not easy to accept, after all, one of his assistants hired Klein for 5 pounds, and in the end, because of the 5 pounds, Crane had to plot to kill an ambassador.

And by this time Abner had already remembered why he felt familiar to Mr. Zerrell, who had followed Caspars with his 'blinding' when he had just been promoted to 'Reader', as his follow-up to the extraordinary, who might get out of control.

"This commission actually comes from the Storm Church, and they ask to take the bridge area as the center, and check who has suddenly gone crazy or suddenly become dementia in the last one or two months in the bridge area, east district, south district, dock area and factory area, and also find out who died unexpectedly because of the previous two reasons." Detective Zerrell glanced at Detective Isenger and explained with a smile to Abner.

"Aren't the populations of these districts going to be in the millions? Sure enough, it's a cumbersome commission. Detective Issinger glanced at his student, and he roughly guessed what the Storm Church, or the Punisher was looking for. It's just that this kind of rough investigation method is very unsightly, and if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely mock a few words.

Suddenly insane...... Dementia...... This is a symptom of extraordinary pollution, right? Last month or two...... Thinking of this, Abner also had a faint guess at this time: the extraordinary characteristics of the "reasoning student" that the original owner originally picked up could not have been taken from some dead substitute punisher, right? The substitutes have never been able to find the missing characteristics, and they have to be busy with other cases and can't be separated from the manpower, so they simply hired someone to investigate? It's a pity that it's not going in the right direction.

At this time, after listening to Detective Isenger's words, Mr. Zerell smiled and said, "So no matter if there is someone in the list we find in the list that the Church of Storm is looking for, they will pay 100 pounds." If they find the person they are looking for, they will pay an extra £100. At this point, he looked at Abner again and continued:

"Don't think I'm paying you less than £5, after all, I just need you to help me check the bridge area, which has a much smaller population than the other places."

Abner thought for a while and decided to take the commission, after all, it was probably looking into himself, and instead of passively expecting the substitutes to explore in the wrong direction, it was better to take the initiative to join in. Maybe there will be some misdirection in due course.

……

Meanwhile, in a darkened apartment bedroom in the West End, two figures mingled with each other, intoxicating murmurs wafting through the room.

Just as the man below was about to reach his peak, the woman galloping on top of it took out a glass bottle out of nowhere, and the bottle was filled with a pitch-black, viscous liquid.

The woman looked at the man with a distorted expression below her, took a deep breath, and poured the liquid into her mouth.

Immediately afterward, the lady's beautiful body began to undergo terrible changes, countless pustules and black sores surged on the skin, and her beautiful face was also a little terrifying.

But at this moment, the man under him suddenly began to convulse, and the inexplicable strength left his body, and entered the other party's body along the junction with the lady, constantly repairing those terrible abscesses.

The lady regained a little consciousness, and with great difficulty she pulled out a needle with a container attached to it from a mirror, and then struggled to inject the blood from the container into her veins.

……

Monday, July 23rd.

In the morning, after being commissioned by Detective Zerrell to investigate the Bridge District, Abner went out after lunch.

He didn't rush to investigate immediately, after all, if he really wanted the result, he just handed himself over......

He wanted to take this opportunity to check some files from the police station in the bridge district to see if there was any trace of the witch. Because of the commission, the Storm Church has already greeted the police stations in various districts in advance, and the detectives who have connected with this commission have tried to make it as convenient as possible.

So, after reading the file all morning, Abner did not come to the single-family house he rented in the East End until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people in the teacher's family who entrusted the incident, and it was not convenient for him to participate in the tarot meeting without being disturbed.

Three o'clock, above the gray fog.

Abner, who had just regained his sight, saw the majestic temple again, saw the Fool sitting upright in a thick gray mist, and saw the still vague Righteousness and the Hanged Man appear in their fixed seats.
