Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Vede’s bodyguard, Beavis, wasn’t good at investigating extraordinary cases. After the clues ran out, he had no choice but to report back to the Viscount.

Viscount Vede, already somewhat exhausted, sent someone to notify the "Punisher" team, asking them to find the culprit at all costs.

When Connate, a senior deacon of the "Punisher" team, learned that Viscount Vede wanted the "Punishers" to investigate who had given him laxatives, he was so angry that he almost cursed.

He kicked a table in the bar, slightly relieving his anger.

At this time, Connate was at Passion Bar, leading the team to investigate the case of "Lelouch."

However, for the sake of caution, Connate still had his subordinates perform a divination, and the result was: Lelouch, or his accomplices, did not give Viscount Vede laxatives.

Mr. Gahr’s subordinates were certainly not Lelouch’s accomplices.

Connate thought that the Viscount had offended someone at some point, and the other party took the opportunity to retaliate, so he didn't take it too seriously, and only asked the police to investigate carefully.

At this time, he was in charge of Lelouch's case, which put a lot of pressure on him. The director of the police station even came to him personally last night, asking him to capture Lelouch alive during the arrest process.

Because the City Hall and the Backlund Police Department were now facing enormous pressure, if Lelouch died at this time, whether he died during the arrest or not, it would make the situation even more difficult to control, and might even lead to political events such as demonstrations.

What the police chief didn't know was that when Connate investigated Passion Bar, the clues basically ran out.

Lelouch's agent, Simon, was missing. Several surrounding gangs had received the news of Simon's death, so they began to compete for Passion Bar yesterday.

Several of Simon's capable subordinates also died in the gang fight. The remaining bartenders and others could not provide too valuable clues, and even did not know how Simon met Lelouch.

Now there were only three clues left. One clue was how the surrounding gangs learned the news of Simon's death?

Simon had not appeared for a few days in order to avoid police investigation, and the surrounding gangs were already eager to move, but the night before yesterday, they clearly received the news of Simon's death.

As for the person who spread the news, some gang leaders said it was a mysterious man whose face was partially covered by a hat, and some said it was a man with a face full of beards. In short, they couldn't see the other party's face clearly.

This clue was not without gain. When investigating the surrounding gangs last night, a fugitive was caught.

During the arrest, the extraordinary person of the "Punisher" used extraordinary abilities, so last night, an abnormal thunder appeared in the sky above Backlund.

However, this gain did not help in finding Lelouch at all!

Another clue was the address of Lelouch's last crime, 176 Riverbend Avenue.

They contacted the landlord of this house, but they were disappointed again. The landlord had actually signed the lease contract with the other party through letters.

The rent was higher than the market price, but the condition was that the landlord could not go to the house to check during the lease period, and promised to pay a deposit of 100 pounds. If the house was damaged, the loss could be deducted from the deposit.

Such a large deposit made the landlord very tempted, so he agreed to these conditions.

For more than two years, the landlord had also seen the house rented by Lelouch from outside, and found that it seemed that no one lived there, but because the rent had always been very timely, and there was still a 100-pound deposit, equivalent to three years' rent, in hand, the landlord did not do further investigation as agreed.

As a result, the house caught fire, and it was not known whether the 100-pound deposit was enough for redecoration? The key was that someone had died, and it would be difficult to rent it out again in the short term.

The members of the "Punisher" team, of course, did not care about the landlord's troubles. After taking a few letters, they planned to use these letters to start an investigation.

But they soon discovered that these letters, whether envelopes or stationery, were things that could be bought in ordinary stationery stores.

Moreover, the mailing locations of the letters were all over the post offices in Backlund, and there was no way to find any clues.

The third clue was Simon's family. After many inquiries, they learned that Simon's wife and daughter were staying at a relative's house.

However, when the "Punishers" went there, they found that the mother and daughter had been taken away on the day the Lelouch case occurred.

The three people who came to pick up the mother and daughter also covered their faces in different ways. The relative knew that Simon was engaged in shady gray industries, so after the three people showed Simon's ancestral pocket watch, they did not ask to check their faces.

The only valuable clue that the "Punishers" got from here was a portrait of a rental carriage, but the rental carriages in the entire Backlund were similar. According to the license plate number, it was also confirmed that it was a rental carriage with a forged license plate number.

When Viscount Vede sent someone to ask for help, Connate was troubled by the clues of the case and had no energy to investigate who had given the Viscount laxatives!

Judging from the rental records, it was hard for him to imagine that in order to eliminate the Backlund fighting arena, someone had been secretly planning for more than two years!

Was it really for illusory things like justice that Lelouch was supported to complete such a long conspiracy?

Thinking of this, Connate felt that he could start with the families of the victims, and maybe find some clues.

In addition, Lelouch's anti-reconnaissance ability was too strong! He had cut off all the clues.

Finally, Connate asked the bartenders and others at Passion Bar without much hope: "Has anything special happened at Passion Bar recently?"

The several people who were being watched by the "Punisher" team and squatting on the ground eagerly provided clues, but what they said was not something worth paying attention to.

Until one of Simon's subordinates said: "A few weeks ago, someone won three consecutive matches in the fighting arena."

Originally, Connate thought it was a useless clue when he heard it was a few weeks ago, but he thought again: Won three consecutive matches? Lelouch had also been winning all the time.

So he asked again: "What's that person's name?"

"I don't know."

"Where did Simon find him from?"

"I don't know."

"After the game, did Simon still have contact with him?"

"I don't know."

"I..." Connate slowly put down his raised palm.

Finally, the "Punishers" obtained a portrait of a young man using extraordinary means. Connate was stunned. Wasn't this Odyss Gahr?

......

When Odyss went to Simon's underground fighting arena, he had not considered destroying the Backlund extraordinary fighting arena.

So he inevitably left some traces, but with the protection of the "Knowledge Wilderness", the official extraordinary person's divination had no way to find him using those traces.

Even if they found him, he could completely use the identity of the "Heart of Mechanical" informant to prevent the "Punishers" from arresting him. Without extraordinary power to interrogate him, Odyss was not afraid of the inquiries of the official extraordinary people.

Because he had already forged an alibi in advance.

At this time, Odyss was most concerned about this matter. He did not know whether the "Heart of Mechanical" would strengthen its monitoring of him again. The only thing he could do now was to do what he should do and not show any abnormality.

Odyss was quite familiar with this way of life. After all, he had been closely monitored by the "Heart of Mechanical" for more than a year before.

The meeting of the Mysticism Research Association was to be held this morning. Odyss, as usual, first took a rental carriage to 77 Hilton Avenue.

Here, he changed into the "Leader"'s costume and used the "Teleportation Array" in the basement to come to 199 Hairun Avenue.

After coming out of the basement, he sat in the "Leader"'s position, watching the members enter one by one.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Odyss said: "Let's begin."

Before trading intelligence, four more members purchased magic potion formulas from Odyss, which earned him 920 pounds at the beginning of the meeting.

At the same time, as Odyss expected, members such as "Peacock" and "Wolverine" also began to sell magic potion formulas. However, at this time, only two members had not purchased magic potion formulas, and they were obviously more interested in the magic potion formulas from Odyss.

Soon, someone began to seek the main materials used in the magic potion formulas. However, there were not many extraordinary transactions at this meeting before. Now that so many people suddenly sought extraordinary materials, everyone did not have these things in hand, and only one transaction was reached for a while.

After the extraordinary transaction ended, everyone began to trade intelligence or issue tasks.

"Hound" first said: "High-priced reward for information on Lelouch's whereabouts!"

Female member "Peacock" asked: "How high is the high price you are talking about?"

"Someone has offered 200 pounds for information on Lelouch's whereabouts, and offered a high price of 2,000 pounds for Lelouch's head," "Hound" replied.

"In addition to that gentleman's reward, the police station will also pay a considerable reward. If you can kill Lelouch, you can get a total reward of 3,600!"

This reward made several members whisper a few words. The reward was indeed very high, but they did not know what sequence Lelouch was, so they did not dare to answer.

Odyss thought to himself: Heh, Viscount Vede is only willing to offer 2,000 pounds for the death of his son? And the official extraordinary person is only willing to offer a reward of 1,600 pounds? Who are you looking down on?

"You don't even know Lelouch's whereabouts, do you?" "Peacock" said with a smile: "This reward is so high, which just shows that this task is very difficult."

“Hound” did not answer “Peacock’s” question, but instead said: “In addition, anyone who provides any clues about Lelouch can receive a reward of 30 to 100 pounds.”

The entire living room was silent for two seconds. “Hound’s” final bounty almost indicated that they currently had no clues about Lelouch!

“Wolverine” exclaimed: “An extraordinary being, in Backlund, a city teeming with powerful individuals, set a fire, and yet the official Beyonders have failed to find any clues about him!”

“This… this is a great feat!”

It is well worth learning for their “Aurora Order.”

“Leader” Odis nodded, deeply agreeing.

The other members had also seen news about Lelouch in the newspapers, but the newspapers mainly reported on Bishop’s crimes, and did not describe Lelouch in much detail. However, those who had read the reports knew that Lelouch must be a Beyonder!

In their imagination, this Lelouch had long been caught by the official Beyonders and imprisoned in a special prison.

Unexpectedly, the official Beyonders had no clues about him?

The participating member “Giraffe” asked the question everyone wanted to know: “What sequence is Lelouch?”

“Hound” took a deep breath: “Sequence 8.”

Many members gasped, especially the few Sequence 8 members: They were both Sequence 8, so why was the difference so great?
