Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#66 - The Black Emperor
Back at the Backlund Mechanical Research Society, Audis, with Max at his side, recounted his experience in detail.
He had gone to Karpin to request personnel and happened to encounter the attack of a majestic figure. Parker was the first to attack him, leaving him no choice but to retaliate, which led to a conflict with Karpin and the Beyonders in his villa.
In a certain sense, this was the truth. Moreover, Audis had previously reported to "Mechanical Heart," and with his Beyonder abilities, Sergeant Celt determined that Audis was telling the whole truth.
It wasn't until the arrival of Archbishop Horamick Haydn, a kind-faced man in a white priest's robe, that the "Punishers" and the military realized the Church of Steam and Machinery's regard for Audis.
Upon hearing that the military and the "Punishers" had sent demigods to inquire about the case, Iconser Bernard, a high-ranking deacon of "Mechanical Heart," immediately went to invite Archbishop Horamick.
Horamick, upon learning that the church's "ace intelligence officer" was involved in a Beyonder case, rushed over immediately.
After meeting Archbishop Ace of the Storm Church and the military's demigod Celt, Horamick first chatted with them for a few words, then mentioned the "Millionaire Blair Case" that had caused a stir in the Beyonder world a few days prior.
He made it clear that thanks to Audis's provision of crucial clues, "Mechanical Heart" was able to solve the case without any of the official Beyonders noticing.
Ace and Celt both understood Horamick's meaning: This person, I personally vouch for him.
This was also reasonable. Such an excellent intelligence officer, they would do their best to protect him if it were them.
Therefore, after learning that Audis had been forced into this case, Ace did not ask any further questions.
Celt, after learning that Byron's investigation had only found Karpin's criminal evidence but had not found information such as the buyers of the slaves, only symbolically asked Audis: "Then why did you seem a little guilty at the entrance of Karpin's villa before, and did not immediately briefly describe the case you knew?"
"Because I've heard of the harm caused by the 'Mental Whip'." Audis smiled helplessly, "It is said that it can cause permanent damage to people, so I am very reluctant to accept your interrogation."
Celt smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
With the two demigods no longer paying much attention, the rest was basically a routine inquiry.
As for the question of where the Beyonder characteristics of Heras and others went, Audis claimed not to know and guessed that they might have been taken away by that majestic figure.
After seeing off the people from the military and the "Punishers," Audis, who was already fine, stood up and saluted Horamick: "Archbishop, thank you for your protection."
Without this demigod's guarantee, even under the protection of "Mechanical Heart," the interrogation would not have ended so quickly.
Horamick sat in the chair and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything to tell me?"
Audis smiled: "I knew that my little tricks could not hide from your eyes."
Then he put away his smile and said: "I took the initiative to shoot and kill Karpin because his disregard for life was appalling. After learning that the majestic figure's purpose was to release those kidnapped girls, I took the initiative to provide some help."
Horamick said lightly: "This is human nature."
Audis continued: "The four dead Beyonders were all from the 'Arbitrator' pathway, and the military seems to be paying too much attention to this matter.
"Mr. Celt seemed to say that he lived nearby and appeared on the scene as soon as possible, but according to some information I inadvertently learned, he has four properties in Backlund. We are not sure if he lived in the Qiaoewood District today."
Horamick straightened up from the back of the chair and looked at Audis: "What do you want to say?"
"The military seems to be planning something." Audis said seriously: "I have no evidence, but I have a feeling that way."
Horamick and Iconser and others were silent. After a long while, Horamick spoke again: "Pay attention to information in this area, but do not actively investigate."
Audis immediately said: "Yes!"
After Archbishop Horamick also left, Iconser said to Audis: "Stay here tonight and sleep in the lounge. You should be clear about the investigation procedures of the case. You must be available at any time during the investigation of this case."
That is to say, in the eyes of "Mechanical Heart," this young man Audis has no problem at all. However, it is still necessary to put on a show and cooperate with the investigation.
Audis nodded: "Okay."
Then he said to his good friend Max: "Get me something to eat. I was doing experiments in the mountains today and didn't even eat lunch."
… …
Above the gray fog, "The Fool" Klein, sitting at the head of the ancient bronze long table, breathed a long sigh of relief: That scared me to death!
I didn't expect that mysterious lady I met at the Kingdom Museum to sneak up behind me so quietly and prepare a very powerful seal for him.
If it hadn't been for the help of "Above the Gray Fog," I probably wouldn't have been able to come back today.
Theoretically speaking, he returned to the spirit world, but the route was not to open the passage to the spirit world and then return to "Above the Gray Fog."
Instead, the power of "Above the Gray Fog" opened a door in the real world and brought him back, so that powerful seal had no effect.
No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one in, one look, one look!
Then, a little tired, Klein used the yellow crystal pendant for divination: "The masked youth tonight is Mr. Gahl.
"The masked youth tonight is Mr. Gahl.
“… …"
After chanting seven times silently, the yellow crystal pendant rotated in a clockwise direction.
It really is Mr. Gahl!
Klein also thought of the huge battle axe: "Mr. Gahl also does arms deals?"
No, no, that's not the point. The point is… hiss~
The battle just now consumed too much spirituality, causing Klein to have a splitting headache. He had no choice but to quickly return to the real world to rest and think about this issue when he had time.
… …
The next morning.
Queen's District, inside Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey was waiting for the maid to cut the food when she suddenly heard Earl Hall, who was used to reading the newspaper at breakfast, laugh: "Karpin is dead."
"Who is he?" Audrey asked.
"A millionaire who may be a human trafficker in private." Earl Hall chuckled: "He was killed last night. All the newspapers reported that the murderer was a chivalrous thief, um, the chivalrous thief 'Black Emperor'."
Black Emperor!
Audrey instantly thought of the "Blasphemy Slate" belonging to Mr. Fool. She immediately became interested in the case of Karpin's murder: "It sounds very interesting. Although it's illegal, I want to say that the chivalrous thief did a really beautiful job.
"Dad, what about the process?"
"It's still under investigation," Earl Hall said, taking a sip of tea. "However, someone saw a young man wearing a mask break into Karpin's villa before Karpin was killed."
