Chapter 75: The Murderer and the Black Emperor

The "Demon" sequence belongs to the "criminal" path Sequence 6, and Angel knows that the main material price of Potions in Sequence 6 is more than 1,500 pounds.

That is, the extraordinary properties of this piece that can be used as the main material of a complete potion will be worth more than 3,000 pounds, of course, provided that someone understands its value.

This is different from the harvest that the two of them distributed in the Caping mansion during the day, when there were two extraordinary characteristics and one damaged extraordinary weapon, which, although not exactly equal in value, could also be distributed roughly fairly.

This mass of extraordinary traits cannot be divided into two pieces, and if someone wants to take it, they must give the other person 1,500 pounds in cash, or an extraordinary item of corresponding value, otherwise there is no guarantee that the other party will sell the trait and obediently hand over half of the proceeds......

An awkward silence fell in the small, dark alley.

"I can still think of a way for 150 pounds, but 1500 pounds is far more than my financial resources, you have ......"

After a long time, Moriarty asked.

"Neither do I."

Angel's assets will now exceed 1,500 pounds, but if he exchanges all of them for this feature that he doesn't know when he will be sold, he will be penniless.

So she didn't hesitate to deny it.

As for other items that can be used as collateral, the "Magic Pocket Watch" is a magical item with strong practicality, and its value is no less than the extraordinary characteristics of this Sequence 6, and the "Ring of Madness" is the guarantee of her hidden identity, and the "Hidden Holy Emblem" is even more unlikely to leave her body, and the remaining ammunition and charms are ......

Wait, there's one more item to come......

Angel suddenly thought of the "crimson eyes" she was carrying.

It comes from the dead "Bishop of the Rose" in the East End, and is also an extraordinary property of Sequence 6, although it is contaminated, as long as it can tolerate the negative effects for a short time, it can easily find any living thing within a 50-meter radius, and it is extremely versatile in the city.

Pulling out the "Crimson Eye" in the box, Angel explained Moriarty to its effects.

"Contaminated sequence 6 characteristics, which can be sold ...... Well, maybe someone will need it. ”

Muttering, Moriarty seemed to think of the items he had bought for 400 pounds, and nodded slightly, agreeing to Angel's plan.

He then took out a copper coin in front of Angel and performed a simple divination, confirming that the "Crimson Eye" was indeed a Sequence 6 trait.

"Then I'll take this eyeball first, and if you can successfully sell the extraordinary characteristics of the 'demon', you will exchange half of the proceeds for it, if it ......"

"If I disappear, it's yours."

Angel saw that Moriarty had no objections, so he lowered his head, picked up the "demonic" characteristic of magma flowing inside, endured the scorching touch and put it into the bullet box, and carefully put it away.

The latter took the "Crimson Eye" handed to him by Angel, and immediately tried to make contact with the eyeball, frowning and enduring the whispering in his ear, his gaze wandering, as if he was consciously looking at the living creatures around him.

"Indeed, as you said, you can easily catch the living things around you...... There were two people on the street coming here, most likely the patrol officers of the neighborhood. ”

Moriarty looked to the side of the alley, then quickly closed the tin box, put away the crimson eyes, and said.

"Then let's get out of here quickly, go our separate ways, and I'll deal with the scene...... By the way, don't rush to sell the extraordinary traits you got in the morning, someone is investigating Kapin's death, and they may be keeping an eye on those extraordinary gatherings. ”

After Angel told the other party, he summoned several black flames and began to "disinfect" the surrounding environment to avoid possible subsequent divination.

Moriarty pressed the cap on his head and quickly left the alley, the sound of small footsteps fading away.

Two minutes later, two policemen cautiously entered the seldom-entered alley, one in front holding an oil lamp and the one behind a gun on guard.

They arrived after receiving a report from a nearby resident, who claimed that there was a dense burst of gunfire and a loud explosion, as if two gangs were fighting.

They saw frost that had not yet melted all over the ground, paving stones that had been torn apart by the explosion, and the carcass of a huge black dog lying on the corner of an alley.

"The sun is fierce and the smog has cleared! The serial murder case is solved, and the murderer is killed on the spot! ”

The front page of the Beckland Morning Post used two large exclamation marks to express the emotion of the entire Bakerland citizens, celebrating the final lifting of the dark cloud of "serial killings" that had hung over their heads for more than two months.

In a house in Jowood, Furth sat lazily on a couch, flipping through today's newspaper with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, unsurprised by the result.

She herself is an extraordinary person hidden in the market, of course, she has a sense of the situation in Beckland in the past week, the official extraordinary people have poured out, and the military and police have shown rare seriousness, just to catch this murderer who is at large and is still committing crimes.

It was inevitable that the case would be solved quickly......

Turning the page, the second page is another piece of terrifying news.

"The Rogue 'Black Emperor' has appeared in Jowood, and the controversial billionaire Capping and his henchmen have died in their homes."

The report was accompanied by a hand-drawn image of a figure in black armor, a pitch-black crown, and a black cloak standing in the wind, with a raging flame at his feet.

Furth, who was worried about a new subject, was immediately attracted to the report and read it carefully.

The rogue, named after the code name of the ruler of the ancient Solomonic Empire, entered Capin's villa in broad daylight and stole all the ill-gotten gains hidden in the safe, ending the lives of Capin and his criminal henchmen, and freeing several missing girls imprisoned in the basement of the villa.

Kapin's body was sprinkled with tarot cards, the most conspicuous of which were the "Judgment" and "Emperor" cards covering his face, the former undoubtedly representing the judgment of the rich man who had his bloody hands and kidnapping innocent girls, and the latter being the source of the thief's code name.

Looking at the exaggerated description of the scene, looking at the hand-drawn, majestic "Black Emperor" of the grand thief, Folth's eyes gradually lit up, and countless ideas flashed through her mind in an instant, and she identified several of them of interest, and prepared to record them later, carefully selected, and rich in details.

Her next bestseller may be born out of it!

As she was brainstorming, the study door was pushed open, and Hugh entered, seated beside Forth with a tired and confused expression.

"Hugh, what's wrong with you?"

Out of concern for his friend, Furth put down the newspaper, took the cigarette in his hand, and asked.

"I have been tasked with the 'Golden Mask' that sold me the 'Sheriff' formula last time, to investigate Kapin's death, and to find out in the Gathering of the Extraordinary, in my channels, who has ever inquired about him.

"You should know, it's the trafficker......"

Before Hugh could finish speaking, Furth picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to her.

The latter took it and glanced at it quickly, and his face became strange.

"I didn't expect it to be in the newspapers, tarot cards, 'Judgment' and 'Black Emperor', heh, no wonder that guy still brought my attention to the events involving tarot cards in the past few years."

Putting down the newspaper, Hugh sneered, seemingly dissatisfied with the golden face.

Firth knew about the "Golden Mask", and after selling the "sheriff" formula to Hugh, he recruited her as a peripheral member to serve them. The two have analyzed that the other party is likely to belong to a certain organization, and even has some connection with the official.

"The events of the last few years? Does he think that this is not an isolated case, but that there are people who commit crimes repeatedly, or that there is an organization ......"

When she said "organization", she was suddenly stunned.

Because, just this week, Foirth officially joined a secret organization called "Tarot Society", whose members use various tarot cards as code names!
