Start with the Readers Chapter 161: The Scudders

Seeing the men and women coming out of the living room, Abner was obviously taken aback, and blurted out: "Mr. Scudder, Mrs. Scudder, why are you here?"

These two people were the parties involved in the murder case that Abner encountered when he traveled back to Backlund from East Chester County! The "Golden Solomon" was still found on their dead son.

To be honest, ever since Karen told him that the so-called "tenant" was someone he knew, he had guessed Sharon and Maric, Lina and Talim, Hugh and Forsi, Even guessed Roman and Susan... but never thought it would be these two people anyway.

Ebner remembered that Mr. Scudder was the manager of a maritime trade company. He rescued a mysterious old man when he returned from the Rorsted Islands, and later found a small treasure hidden under the guidance of the old man. island. However, the shareholders on board did not heed the old man's advice before leaving, and opened a door with Mr. Scudder and others, and saw the murals inside...

After that, all of them began to suffer from bad luck, and even many of their children suffered from various diseases.

And the "Solomon Gold Coin" that has helped him many times was also brought out from that small island.

Mr. Scudder, who was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and neatly groomed hair, saluted Abner first, and then said respectfully: "Detective Bryan, we are now the Mother Earth Church." Your servant, Mr. Karen arranged us and my wife to work in this villa... He told us to serve you."

"Wait... I remember that you seem to be followers of the church of 'Steam', right?" Abner interrupted. He was very impressed by this, and he even complained about why he, a steam believer, wanted to do sea trade.

"Yes, back then you suggested that we go to the church of 'St. Hirland' to pray as soon as we arrived in Backlund, and tell the priest what happened before..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Scudder's face became obviously complicated. He sighed and continued: "It's a pity that the Church of Steam didn't pay attention. Harriet and I are still plagued by bad luck, and we were even caught by gangsters. Sold to slave traders..."

"The gangster you are talking about, could it be..." Abner's heart moved, and he suddenly had a guess. And he felt that the Church of Steam, or "Mechanical Heart" might not have ignored it, it was just that the two ordinary people didn't know about it.

"Yes, it is the 'Vinson Labor and Service Company' and the Black Skull Party behind it! Here, I would like to thank you sincerely, Detective Brian. If you hadn't sneaked into the company and cracked this case, I would You and Harriet don't know what tragic fate you will encounter... Unfortunately, we were all in a coma at the time, and we didn't see your heroic figure fighting against many villains."

There was a look of gratitude in Mr. Scudder's eyes. Mrs. Scudder beside him also saluted again, thanking Abner for his kindness in rescue.

The corners of Abner's mouth twitched, he had a fart "heroic appearance", obviously he was "playing soy sauce" with Judy outside that company the whole time... Karen was the only one who did it from the beginning to the end.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Abner took a deep breath, changed the subject and said, "Then why did you become servants of the Church of the Earth? Are you still here?"

"Detective Bryan, it's like this. After we were rescued by you, because we lost all our belongings, we had to wander in the East District while looking for work... However, my luck is still very bad, and I have never found a suitable one. My own job opportunity... But last weekend night, when we were walking numbly on the streets of the East District, and we were almost unable to survive, we finally received the favor of fate and met Mr. Karen and Miss Judy."

Speaking, Mr. Scudder devoutly drew a simple holy emblem of the Mother Earth on his chest, and recited in a low voice:

"Thank you, source of life!"

"Praise be to you, mother of all things!"

…

Bishop Utravsky's professional ability is very strong... Abner is very sure that Karen and Judy do not have this contagious ability, and they must have brought the Scudders back to the Harvest Church.

But they did get lucky, and they happened to meet Judy and Karen who were investigating the case at night...

While Abner was thinking wildly, he heard Mr. Scudder continue to say: "The Mother God saved me and Harriet, so I decided to become a servant of the Mother God and spread His love to everyone in need. people.

"Harriet and I have been helping Mr. Karen to inquire about some news before, and we were not assigned here until yesterday to assist you in managing this villa as a servant and maid."

"I see..." Abner nodded first, and after thinking about it for a moment, he asked a very realistic question: "Who pays your salaries and the daily expenses of the villa?" It can't be me, can it? Before, I thought that Karen had found two benefactors, but who would have thought that two poor ghosts would come...

"It will be reimbursed by the church...Of course, the monthly budget, settlement and final statement must be signed and agreed by you before being submitted to Bishop Utravsky." As he spoke, Mr. Scudder took a piece of paper A list of various expenses was handed over to Abner. After all, he was a manager of a maritime trade company, and his business ability was not bad.

Abner glanced briefly and put it aside. Anyway, as long as he is not asked to pay, will the Scudders take the opportunity to make some extra money? He felt that there was no need to bother to calculate it by himself, and it would be fine to use the "notarization" ability of the "ring of light" ring to draw up a contract.

Next, Abner asked about the specific situation of Scudder's garden villa, and found out that because many furniture and necessary items were removed or destroyed before the handover, some repairs and purchases were still needed The time for necessary supplies cannot be checked in immediately. According to the current progress, it will take at least next Monday or Tuesday to get ready.

"Well, after we move in next week, we will hold a banquet in the new residence and invite all of our friends over... We can design it so that Xio can find the tampered "Blood Feast" by himself."

…

In an old apartment in the south area of ​​the bridge, the "witch" Lina was flipping through today's newspaper, and the focus of her attention was undoubtedly the headlines of "The Heroic Detective Captures the Real Murderer of the Prince's Assassination Case" .

"Hehe, this subsection is too exaggerated. It is said that the 'true murderer' is a burly man over 1.8 meters. If Yi is still alive, what will she think when she reads this newspaper?" Lina said happily while reading.

Sitting opposite her was the former police officer Xiao Ke. He looked at the smiling witch and asked with some concern: "Are you really okay? Earl Lorena has been executed now... you How can you still laugh?"

"Witch" Lina glanced at him when she heard the words, and said nonchalantly: "I told him before that the suffering I suffered in the Witch Sect is equivalent to repaying his birthright... We are no longer mutual." We owe it."

"Then why are you acting so sad and indignant with Prince Edesak again? It seems like you want to break with him?" Xiao Ke asked inexplicably.

Hearing Edsaac's name, Lina's expression softened, and she sighed: "My existence will only bring him countless troubles... It is for his own good to take the opportunity to stay away from him... After all, he is my only friend."

"I'm not your friend too?" Xiao Ke retorted a little annoyed when he heard this.

"You? You can only be my future sister!" Lina glanced at him with a half-smile, and then changed the subject before he could react, "You've been a 'vigilante' frequently recently, Assassinated many gang leaders, it's time to stop. I heard that they have found Extraordinary people to ambush you."

"But what should I do with the role of 'Assassin'?" Xiao Ke didn't realize that the topic was being changed, but just raised his own doubts.

"Assassin's emphasis is on planning before moving, killing with one blow! Assassins like you, who would go up and take care of injustices, have not died until now. It can only be said that it is luck." Li Na sighed, looking at Xiao Ke now is like seeing herself in the past, she is so innocent.

Knowing that Sequence 7 will become a "witch", she still chose this extraordinary path, just to be able to become stronger and control her own destiny~IndoMTL.com~Thinking so in her heart, she glanced aside He rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Ke with a smile: "Rey, the Witch of Pain, should have been killed by this heroic detective. Since you are well taken care of by Inspector Wayne, and now he has revenge, are you Shouldn't I go to the door and thank the detective?"

Xiao Ke was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded, agreeing: "That's right, I have to pay a visit."

"Then when you go, give him this 'necklace' as a thank you gift." Lina said, took out a box from the drawer beside her and handed it to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke took it subconsciously, then opened it, his eyes widened instantly, and said: "Isn't this the necklace I handed over to you? This is an extraordinary item...you are willing to give it away?"

The corners of Lina's mouth curled slightly, but she didn't reply. She just thought in her heart: No matter who is planning behind it, this string of necklaces can't be kept anymore, otherwise I'm afraid it will get deeper and deeper, even if it helped I...and since that 'heroic detective' can get the credit every time, it is obvious that his background is not shallow, let him or the existence behind him take care of these things for me.

…

Time came to Sunday in a blink of an eye. After two days of headline reports, Abner's "hero" popularity finally eased, and he took the opportunity to go out wearing a "clown mask".

He first went to the garden villa in the Jorwood area to check the progress of the repairs, and then walked to the "Folk Herb Shop" not far from the Tussock River.

And Darkwill's chubby face soon caught his eyes.
