Start with the Readers Chapter 82: The Tarot Club started again

Copusti? If Susan didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten about him... Abner thought for a moment, and decided to take care of this matter. Although Roman didn’t know him very well, he was also a friend of the original owner. He still doesn't mind doing things that can be solved.

Abner organized his language, told Susan again what he had said to scare Jane, and finally said seriously: "In short, no matter whether Teacher Kapusti intended it or not, his actions are likely to violate the law. You can no longer let Roman follow him around."

"Then what should I do?" Susan asked in a panic, shocked by Abner's tone.

"You just need to repeat what I just said to your mother. I believe Sheriff Fiona can handle the matter well." Abner replied with a smile. It's better to report this to the police.

Susan nodded thoughtfully, deeply feeling that after Senior Abner became a detective, both his demeanor, his way of thinking about problems and handling things have changed a lot from before... By comparison, no matter what Whether it was her or Roman, or even Custer who was admitted to university, it still seemed a little naive.

After that, reporter Mike also came at the appointment, and Abner took the initiative to greet him and expressed his thanks to him.

Reporter Mike waved his hand and said, "This is something we have agreed on a long time ago. You don't have to be so polite. Maybe I will need your help when I go to some special places for interviews and investigations."

After the two chatted for a while, it was almost eight o'clock. Detective Essinger stopped waiting in the foyer, and took Abner to the second floor of the public dance hall, stood behind the railing facing the door, and signaled the invited band to stop playing.

After all the guests looked over, Backlund's leading detective said loudly:

"I am very glad that everyone can participate in this dance, thank you for coming..."

"I have prepared some Dixie's unique music and food for everyone, I hope you will like it..."

Having said that, he asked Abner to take another step forward, and continued:

"In addition, here, I will officially introduce my student Abner Bryan to everyone. He is already a detective who can play his own role. version..."

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

Next, after Abner also gave a brief speech and speech, they went down the stairs to the dance floor in the hall on the first floor, preparing to invite the ladies to dance the opening dance.

Since he was pushed to the front of the stage, Abner had already become the protagonist of the ball at this time, and he had to start the opening dance naturally.

Normally speaking, at the opening dance, married hosts must find their spouses, while unmarried men and women either dance with their relatives of the opposite sex, or invite their favorite objects, which is an alternative blind date.

But Abner has neither a suitable target nor any relatives, so it seems a bit awkward in this matter.

Fortunately, Ms. Fiona, the female police chief of the North District, rescued him in time. As the mother of Abner's classmate, she can be regarded as an elder, and it would be appropriate to dance the opening dance with her. As for why not Susan? She has not yet reached the age of formal socializing, and on such occasions, she cannot dance.

The two entered the dance floor and danced to the country tune. It wasn't until the end of the opening dance that Ms. Fiona suddenly lowered her voice:

"Susan has already told me about the matter... You are very sensitive to this kind of illegal incidents and handle them properly. You are worthy of being a detective who can be published in mainstream newspapers at such a young age. I am very relieved that Susan is in contact with you .”

Why does this sound wrong? It’s as if I’m having an affair with your daughter... Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be modest and said: “You’re too proud.”

After the opening dance, Abner followed the teacher and visited the invited detectives one by one. He said: "Young man, I have an entrustment in my hand. Because it is very cumbersome, so there is not enough manpower. Would you like to help me share some? I am willing to pay a deposit of 5 pounds. If the employer is satisfied, I will pay you another 5 pounds."

"Hello, Detective Zreal." Abner greeted first, and then asked with some vigilance, "What kind of commission is it?"

The detective's request of 5 pounds was not easy to accept. After all, one of his assistants hired Klein for 5 pounds. In the end, because of the 5 pounds, Klein had to plan to kill an ambassador.

And at this moment, Abner has already remembered why Mr. Zuriel looks familiar. When he was just promoted to 'Reader', it was this gentleman who followed Kaspers in a 'blind way' , as his backup against the Extraordinary who might get out of control.

"This commission actually came from the Church of the Storm. They requested that the Bridge District be the center, and investigate in the Bridge District, East District, South District, Wharf District, and Factory District for anyone who suddenly went mad or suddenly became demented in the past one or two months. Also, those who died accidentally due to the two reasons before should be investigated.” Detective Zuriel glanced at Detective Essinger, and then explained to Abner with a smile.

"Is it possible that the combined population of these districts will be in the millions? It really is a cumbersome commission." Detective Essinger glanced at his students after speaking, and he roughly guessed that the Church of the Storm, or substitute punishment What are you looking for? It's just that he doesn't like this kind of rough investigation method. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely make a few words of ridicule.

Sudden madness...dementia...is this a symptom of being polluted by the extraordinary? In the past one or two months...Thinking of this, Abner also has a vague guess at this time: the extraordinary characteristic of the "reasoning student" that the original owner picked up at the beginning could not be taken from a dead punisher, right? ? The Punishers have never been able to find the missing features, and they have to be busy with other cases, so they just hired someone to investigate? It's a pity that the direction is wrong.

At this time, after hearing what Detective Essinger said, Mr. Zuriel smiled and said: "So for this commission, no matter whether there is anyone in the list we found that the Church of Storms is looking for, they will pay 100 pounds. If you find If they find the person they want to find, they will pay another 100 pounds." Having said this, he looked at Abner again, and continued:

"Don't think that I only give you 5 pounds as a commission fee. After all, I just need you to help me check the bridge area. Compared with other places, the population there is much smaller."

Abner thought about it for a while, and decided to accept this commission. After all, this was likely to be an investigation of himself. Instead of passively expecting the substitutes to continue exploring in the wrong direction, it is better to actively join in. Maybe some misleading can be done at the right time.

……

At the same time, in a dark apartment bedroom in the West End, two figures were entangled with each other, and intoxicating crooning wafted in the room.

Just when the man below was about to reach the peak, the lady galloping above took out a glass bottle from nowhere~IndoMTL.com~ There was a black viscous liquid in the bottle.

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

Immediately afterwards, terrible changes began to take place on the lady's beautiful body. Countless pustules and black sores surged on the skin, and her beautiful face became a bit terrifying because of this.

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

As a result, the lady regained a little sanity. She took out a needle tube with a container from a mirror with great difficulty, and then injected the blood in the container into her own blood vessels with all her strength.

……

Monday, July 23.

In the morning, Abner went out after having lunch because he accepted the commission of Detective Zuriel to investigate the bridge area.

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

He wanted to take this opportunity to check some files from the police station in Bridge District to see if there was any sign of the witch. Because of the entrustment, the Church of the Storm had already greeted the police stations in all districts in advance, and tried to provide convenience to the detectives who received the entrustment.

Therefore, Abner, who had read the files all morning, did not come to the single-family house he rented in the East District until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Participate in the Tarot Club.

Three o'clock sharp, above the gray fog.

Abner, who had just recovered his vision, saw the majestic temple again, saw Mr. Fool sitting upright and shrouded in thick gray-white mist, and saw the still indistinct Justice and the Hanged Man appearing before them fixed seat.
