"Want to use me as bait? Hehe, the punishers don't seem to know that I actually sabotaged the Pain Witch's plans, and most of them are already on the other party's blacklist.

"Since she hasn't done anything to me until now, it means that there are more important things to be done in her heart, and she doesn't want to make trouble......

"I'm afraid that the careful thinking of the substitute will be in vain."

Abner put down the newspaper and stopped thinking about it. After all, even if he knew that the "substitute punisher" was using him, he had no way to oppose it, so it was better to take the opportunity of fame to reap more benefits...... At least your own commission fees can take advantage of the opportunity to take a wave.

After laughing at himself in bitter amusement, Abner did not choose to go out, but stayed at Detective Isenger's house to learn the ability of Sequence 6 analyzed by the "Pure White Eye".

It has been more than 20 days since he became a "Keeper of Knowledge", and through this period of hard work, he is not far from learning the ability of the first Sequence 6 level......

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Abner, who had closed the "Pure White Eye", was taking a nap to recuperate, when he was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door.

He frowned, thinking that it would only be Kenny, the valet of the office, who would knock on the door at this time...... Is this a new commission?

Abner opened the door to his room as he guessed, and sure enough, he saw Kenny standing respectfully outside.

"Detective Bryan, there's a guest who wants to visit you." Kenny said, bowing.

"Who is it?" Abner had already explained that he would not accept visits for the time being, unless the other party had a special status.

"It was Mr. Maury Mahert, a member of the House of Commons, and his wife, Ms. Liana...... They said they were here to thank you for saving them last night. Kenny habitually bowed his head.

MP Macht? Are you sure he's here to thank me, not to ask for sin? I cut off one of his daughter's arms yesterday...... Of course, it was actually coconut that saved her life, and it is also appropriate to say thank you.

Thinking so, Abner let out an "um" and followed Kenny downstairs, where he met the two visitors in the living room on the first floor.

Maury Mahert was a typical Rune gentleman, in his forties, with dark hair and brown eyes, a deep silhouette, a high hairline, and a slightly slender face, still wearing the olive-green army officer's uniform from last night's ball, and apparently had not returned home to change his clothes.

His wife, Liana, wore a coat over the yellow non-stand-up collar dress last night, covering her fair neck and half of her shoulders.

Both of them looked haggard, especially Lady Liana, who still had tears on her face, and even the make-up that had been touched up could not be completely concealed.

Seeing Abner walk into the living room, Councillor Makht took the initiative to stand up, came to him in two or three steps, and said very specially:

"Detective Brian, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Abner was slightly stunned when he saw his style, and said to himself: As the saying goes, people must ask for something, and I don't know what this gentleman wants from him.

But thinking about it this way, Abner's face also showed a polite smile like a teacher, and said with the same enthusiasm: "Mr. Councillor, I am also very happy to meet you, in the words of Russell the Great, it is really 'splendid'. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lady Liana again, smiled and complimented, "Madame, you are also welcome." Your presence brightens up the business. ”

If she had been complimented like this on a daily basis, Madame Liana would have happily accepted it, but at this time, her daughter was involved in the assassination of the prince for no reason, and she was still detained, which made her really not in the mood to greet her, so she could only smile politely at Abner, and said nothing more.

Abner didn't think much of it, turned around and shook the hand of Congressman Makht, then went to the couch and sat down.

Next, after the two exchanged a few words in business, Congressman Makht took an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Since the envelope was unsealed, Abner saw at a glance a neat stack of 10-pound bills neatly placed inside.

Look at the thickness of this envelope...... At least 200 pounds...... What exactly does Congressman Makht do? Abner wondered.

"Detective Bryan, thanks to your outstanding contribution last night, my wife and I were saved from a disaster, so these are some of my thoughts, and I hope you will accept them." As MP Makht spoke, he pushed the envelope in Abner's direction.

Abner didn't reach for the money, he stared at the sincere face of Congressman Makht for a moment before he said, "What the hell do you want to know?" Or what do you want me to do? Let's get it straight. ”

"I know I can't hide it from Detective Brian...... "Congressman Mahert's face changed slightly, and he sighed, "but this money is really a reward for saving our family's lives...... I heard that the situation was very critical at that time, and it was you who took the opportunity to save Hazel? ”

I see, this gentleman has come to find out what happened...... Want to know how far his daughter went wrong in this matter? You actually thought of coming to me...... That shows that the "substitute punishment" doesn't treat this councilor who believes in the goddess very well.

Abner nodded thoughtfully, then said with a smile, "Mr. Councillor, don't be so tempting. If there's anything you want to know, I'll let you know a little bit as appropriate...... However, before I answer, I have to ask, do you know that the 'Extraordinary' exists? ”

After working hard in the army until the major was discharged, or in a ghost place like East Bailang, you won't know the extraordinary.

"Yes, I know...... Because I hadn't noticed anything unusual at the ball before, Hazel had suddenly disappeared right under my nose...... So I already guessed that this was an extraordinary event. Councillor Makht said after exhaling a cloudy breath.

"That's easy...... Abner nodded, then stood up and set up a spiritual wall around them in front of the Macht couple so that the servants wouldn't hear what they shouldn't have heard, and continued,

"To put it simply, a cultist took advantage of Miss Hazel to bring to the ball a dangerous object that was enough to kill everyone in the hall on the first floor at the time, and I found it and told His Highness the Prince and the penistor."

"Dangerous goods that can kill so many people......" Congressman Makht's heart sank, and he had a new understanding of the seriousness of the incident, he exhaled again, and asked with a wry smile, "Why Hazel?" ”

"Because Miss Hazel is also an extraordinary, and an extraordinary one who has little common sense about extraordinary things! People like her are the easiest to be used by cultists. Abner knew that the other party was still being kept in the dark, so he broke the way.

"Hazel is extraordinary? How did I not know?! Where did she get the potion recipe? Hearing this, Councillor Makht immediately stood up in anger, he knew well when he was in the military service in East Bailang, and they were most likely to be very tolerant of ordinary people if they were involved in extraordinary incidents......

But it's not the same when the extraordinary person is involved in a case...... He felt that Hazel was not directly used as a "test subject" by the Storm Church, and he was afraid that it was all for his own face.

"It seems that Hazel secretly worshipped a teacher...... But you don't have to worry, because your home is in the North District, and the substitute has already reported this matter to the Night Church, so naturally someone will deal with it. Abner replied after a moment's thought. This information was told to him by Evan who was in charge of "protecting" him before.

Councillor Mahert is an experienced politician after all, and has generally figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and even guesses what kind of motivator had in mind when he handed over Hazel to the Mother Earth God Church.

He thought for a moment, then took out an envelope from his bosom again, handed it to Abner, and said, "I heard that Detective Bryan has a good relationship with Bishop Utravsky of the Mother Earth God Church...... Could you please invite the bishop to my home on my behalf? ”

Although Abner felt that the Giant Bishop should not refuse, he did not immediately agree, but replied: "You know, Mr. Councillor, I have no right to agree on behalf of the Bishop, I have to ask for his sight. ”

Seeing that Abner did not directly refuse, Councillor Makht breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Of course, I will come to visit you again in a few days!" ”

After saying that, he could not refuse to stuff the envelope into Abner's hand, and then said goodbye to his wife and left.

After they left, Abner stared at the two envelopes on the coffee table in a daze. He wasn't thinking about money, but because what he had just told Congressman Makht had actually made him digest part of his potion!
