Chapter 178: Follow-up Thoughts
"Call the police?" Forthth Wall repeated in surprise.
For the extraordinary, proactive calling the police seems to be a matter of another world.
Hugh paced back and forth a few steps, grabbed his furry blonde hair, and said:
"The scene of Duckholm's death is so terrifying, so weird, as long as the police still have eyes, they will definitely turn it on to the punister, the night watchman, the mechanical heart, or the special unit that belongs to the military, and when the time comes, we can reveal a little bit of information and let them know that the murderer is Ziringus, and we can create a city-wide hunt scene. ”
"Our purpose is only to find Zilingers, not to catch him, with the 'help' of so many extraordinary people, things will be much simpler and much safer, once Ziringos becomes flustered and makes a mistake, that's our chance to get a bounty, hehe, I mean find his traces. ”
Hugh laughed dryly, looked at the stunned Furth and said:
"Am I in your mind a man who sees an obstacle and wants to bump into it? ”
Furth nodded slowly:
"You've got yourself right, you've done so many of these things, and you've suffered enough damage to get you up to Sequence 8. ”
"Luckily, you're still sane enough on this matter. ”
Hugh looked down at the three-edged thorn in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
“...... I have to confess that I had just clearly felt the imminence of death, and Zilingers was undoubtedly nearby, and it was evil enough to break the rules that made me react instinctively. ”
Furth put the silver bracelet with two stones left back on, and thought seriously for dozens of seconds and said:
"I agree with you, notify Miss Audrey first, and then call the police. ”
"Well, whether Darkholm found Zilingers' traces or his men found them, we can investigate from this direction and figure out the scope of Zilingers' activities and where he lived before. ”
Hugh frowned and said:
"But Chillingers certainly won't stay where he was. ”
One of the seven pirate generals, and one of the magical items, Ziringus must be cautious enough in Beckland.
Even Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", once suffered misfortune here and was almost captured.
"No, I mean, from these clues to infer or determine the purpose of Zillingers' visit to Beckland, as long as we understand what he really wants to do, then no matter how much he disguises or tricks, he will eventually be exposed to us, and then our mission will be accomplished. "The experience of creating in the past two years has taught me that if you get the key to it, things will be simple. ”
Hugh looked at his friend in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that the other party could say such a reasonable thing.
"I'm not like you, I'm just too lazy to think, and you're thinking by your muscles. Furth pursed his lips and tilted his head to smile.
"Taunting me won't make you smarter......" Hugh struggled to smooth out the few strands of blonde hair he had curled, "Alright, let's go to Queens and tell Miss Audrey about this." ”
Furth bowed his head lightly and said:
"So, what's our emergency contact with Miss Audrey?"
"......" said after a pause, looking at the tombstone in the distance, "She told me that her pet dog, the golden retriever we saw earlier, goes out for walks on his own every day, at least five times, well, the most recent one will be after lunch." ”
"That means we'll have to wait outside Earl Hall's mansion?" the corners of Forth's mouth twitched.
Hugh tilted his head sharply and smiled flatteringly:
"Folth, or do you just dive in?"
"I don't think that's going to bother you, it's your specialty. ”
"Hereditary Earl for hundreds of years, one of the most influential members of the House of Lords, the largest shareholder of the Bank of Bavart, the fourth largest shareholder of the Bank of Bakeland, the special adviser to the Royal Bank of Rune, the third largest shareholder of the Suhit Bank of the Kingdom of Intis, the second largest shareholder of the Constance Coal and Steel Complex, etc., etc., etc., this is Miss Audrey's father's illustrious status, Hugh, use your brain, will such a big man have hired an extraordinary person in his house? Will there be some private collection? This is not the same as those broken viscounts and barons!" "I swear in the name of God that if I dare to sneak in, I will be discovered and caught in no more than five minutes." ”
Hugh nodded frequently in approval:
"Let's go wait for that golden retriever......"
After saying that, she led the way, and after taking a few steps, she turned her back to Fals;
"Well, well, I'll try to make up for your loss in the future, well, I mean the stone. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Foerth's mouth curled up slightly:
"I'm saving myself. ”
"And, Hugh, you're going in the wrong direction!"
"God, if you are an 'apprentice' and you become a 'traveler' in the future, it will be, it will be a disaster!"
............
Outside the luxurious villa of Earl Hall.
Hugh and Firth hid behind the Indis plane tree, quietly watching the target building, watching the people come and go.
After some time, they saw the big golden retriever sneak out of the hidden hole at the bottom of the wall, with its ears pricked up, looking left and right, very careful.
Just as Susie began her walk briskly and happily, a black male dog suddenly burst out, flattering and circling.
"It's the first time I've ever known that a dog can have such a human expression on his face, and how much he hates that black dog?" Hugh sighed in a low voice.
She could see the obvious disgust in Susie's eyes and facial expression.
Furth smiled and said, "It's like meeting a reckless, disgusting, and pestering pervert." ”
Seeing Susie trying to speed up and get rid of the black dog, Hugh stepped forward to maintain "justice".
"My verdict is, leave it!" Hugh shouted with a serious expression.
The black dog was stunned for a moment, then grabbed its tail and fled in embarrassment.
Susie breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, snorted politely, and wagged her tail.
It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, I almost said "thank you" to them...... The Golden Retriever thought to himself with rejoice.
It would be very embarrassing......
............
The melodious melody slowly stopped, and Audrey, who was sitting on the piano bench, frowned at the latest information passed on by Hugh and Forthth.
She closed the lid of the piano, got up gracefully, and paced back and forth in the piano room, thinking about what she should do next.
"Ziringers is a very dangerous guy...... If the search continues, it is likely that something terrible will happen to Hugh and Furth...... It will even expose me...... Well, just do what they say...... Ah yes, there are still two hours until the 'Tarot Meeting', I don't know what Mr. Fool suggests, if he is still not interested, I will discuss it carefully with the hanged man......" Audrey gradually calmed down.
This is the first time she has encountered, or personally participated in such a dangerous thing, and there has been a human life!
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Audrey, whose sight had recovered from its crimson and hazy state, saw once again the infinite gray mist that did not belong to reality, the palace that seemed to be the abode of giants, the ancient and mottled bronze table, the fool who was forever covered with a thick mist, the "hanging man" and the "sun".
In an instant, Audrey's slightly tense and anxious emotions were soothed, and her heart was so stable and determined.
I participated in the 'Tarot Society' that was not in the material world, I was facing Mr. Fool, who was almost divine, and I was not on the same level as Ziringus at all...... Audrey proudly straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and greeted happily:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, good afternoon, Mr. Hangman, good afternoon, Mr. Sun!"
After the pleasantries, Klein saw Miss Justice signaling that she had something to say, so he nodded his head lightly in agreement.
"Dear Mr. Fool, don't you know that your dependents have received the 300 gold pounds in compensation?" Audrey resisted the urge to tell the story of Ziringus at once, and said a word of concern to the relatives of her chief.
Klein chuckled:
"I didn't pay attention to it, but since my dependents didn't ask for any more help, they should have received it. ”
Yes, I double-checked, I have 300 gold pounds on my stomach in my bearer account...... Klein added silently in a cheerful mood.
"That's wonderful!" Audrey relieved herself and turned to look across the side, "Mr. Hangman, things are progressing in Ziringus. ”
Alger sat up straight and asked, unable to hide his joy:
"Where is he?"
"Unfortunately, as soon as we spotted his traces, he became aware of our investigation and killed the personnel involved. Audrey recounts what happened to Hugh and Furth, and explains in detail what they thought about what happened.
Alger nodded slightly:
"I'll keep an eye on it. ”
After speaking, he looked sideways at the top of the bronze table, and said under the gaze of the dazed "Sun" Derrick:
"Dear Mr. Fool, if it is clear what the true purpose of Ziringus is and what that very important and very magical item he is trying to obtain, allow me to recite your name and inform you with a ritual. ”
He did not repeat his request for the help of the other party's dependents, because since he had already said and the fool had replied, there was no need to be verbose, otherwise he would anger the gods.
So, Alger only expressed his desire to "report".
If the temptation was enough in the end, he believed that Mr. Fool's favor would appear.
Is that okay?, Audrey's eyes widened.
If I had known that I had applied for the right to "report", I might have been able to get the guidance of Mr. Fool once in a while...... She thought to herself, slightly annoyed.
In the eyes of everyone, Klein, who was in the thick gray mist, leaned back in the chair, bowed his head slightly, and replied slowly:
"Yes. ”
