Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

During dinner, Kristen had not come back yet. He occasionally went out to socialize, and everyone was used to it.

After dinner, Hobert went to observe Rafter as usual. As usual, he appeared at the gambling table again, squandering sweat and money in gambling.

Ask "Miss Justice" to help investigate tomorrow. After confirming that Rafter is indeed a gambler, it will not be too late to take the next step.

After coming out of the "State of Disorder", Hobert gradually fell asleep thinking about Rafter, the three cases in his hand, and tomorrow's Tarot session.

…

There are no small towns in the southern continent, upstream of the Hordis River.

Because in the eyes of people outside the town, this town does not exist, so the name of the town is "Non-Existence" Town.

The "low-sequence" Extraordinaries gathered as usual, and the "middle-sequence" tribesmen checked their status.

In this cursed family, most of the Extraordinaries died of loss of control and suicide. Very few people actually died at the hands of the enemy, so there was a routine of checking the status of the Extraordinaries every week.

Since most of the people died in the small town, the extraordinary characteristics of this family have not been lost much for hundreds of years. On the contrary, they have also accumulated a large number of extraordinary characteristics in other ways through fighting. If it weren't for the curse, they could at least establish a "corpse collector" path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6, and a "prisoner" path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5.

Elliott, who is in Sequence 8, is also in the "low-sequence" queue, and he is the subject of a key inspection because during a routine inspection a week ago, he showed signs of losing control and was prohibited from leaving the town. .

Calvin, the "mid-sequence" strongman in charge of the inspection, was Elliot's uncle. He couldn't believe his eyes: "Elliot, you, all your signs of losing control have disappeared?"

Moreover, his entire body was in order, which was in sharp contrast to the previous disharmony.

Everyone looked here. In a non-existent town, generally speaking, loss of control is irreversible. As long as there are signs of loss of control, you must pay close attention, because complete loss of control will only happen one day sooner or later.

Elliot praised the mysterious existence on the Iron Throne again in his heart. He had already thought of an excuse: "Thanks to 'Rex's Law' (the Balk family calls the method of resisting the curse taught by Rex ' Rex's Law'), I didn't expect that those methods could play a key role at critical moments."

Everyone nodded or was confused, but the routine inspection continued, and everyone no longer paid attention to Elliot's side.

Calvin shook his head. "Rex's Law" would have an effect, but the effect would not be so great. If he hadn't noticed that the curse on Elliot was still there, he would have reported it to the elders immediately.

"Uncle Calvin, can I continue to perform tasks outside the town?" Elliot asked.

Only then did Calvin come back to his senses: "Okay, you have no problem anymore and can come and go freely in the town."

Regardless, it's a good thing that Elliott's signs of losing control are gone.

…

As soon as the carriage arrived on the street of the law firm, Hobert saw Mr. Robin standing at the door of the firm.

It was Mr. Robin who was the defendant in the first case that Hobert took over. Last week, the court auctioned his house and paid off the debt.

Bai Minglan Street, where the law firm is located, is a street where various types of offices, service companies and other service industries are concentrated. These small businesses will make their own signs bright and bright, and decorate the company's carriages brightly. To attract the attention of potential customers and demonstrate the company's financial resources and capabilities.

The people who come here looking for services are also the well-dressed upper-class Backlund people and the middle class who value respectability.

Gorgeous carriages and glamorous pedestrians were constantly coming and going, but Mr. Robin was an exception. He was still wearing the shabby coat and patched hat, looking out of place on this street.

Hobert stepped out of the carriage: "Mr. Robin."

Mr. Robin took off his hat awkwardly: "Mr. Hobert, I, I hope to get your help."

"Please come with me." Hobert took Mr. Robin into the office, wanting to hear what difficulties he encountered.

Hobert shared an office with five other paralegals. He was the first to arrive. There was no one else in the office yet, so Hobert asked Mr. Robin to sit down at his desk and gave him a glass of water: "伱䱱What legal difficulties did you encounter?”

Mr. Robin clutched his hat tightly: "I don't know if this is a legal difficulty, sir."

"Tell me."

“My investment cannot actually be considered a failure, I was deceived.” Mr. Robin said: “My cousin came to me six months ago and said that Mr. Zachary, who runs an insurance company, encountered financial difficulties.

“Mr. Zachary is willing to sell some of his shares in order to tide over the difficulties and is looking for people to invest everywhere.

"My cousin got a 0.8% share authorization letter, but he needed 1,600 pounds of capital. He couldn't come up with that much money by himself, so he came to me to buy it in partnership. We each contributed 800 pounds and the proceeds were equally divided. .

"Sir, this is a good investment opportunity for us. If we complete the deal, I will receive about two hundred pounds in dividends every year, which is almost the same as my salary.

"I went everywhere to inquire about Mr. Zachary's insurance company, and the answer I got was that this insurance company was very profitable, so my cousin and I pooled together 1,600 pounds to complete the equity transaction."

At this point, Mr. Robin's expression became bitter: "It wasn't until more than a month later that we learned that the insurance company had never sold shares at all, and there was no such person as Zachary in their insurance company."

Hobert asked: "Didn't you call the police? Is the share authorization letter still there?"

"It was only after we called the police that we learned that Zachary was the boss of a gang in the East District. He had disappeared half a month before we called the police." Mr. Robin said: "It was only through the police that we found out, There are many people like us who have been scammed.

"The share authorization letter is still there, but it has been proven that it is a forgery." As he spoke, he took out a share authorization letter.

Hobert's first reaction was: The scammer is acting?

He thought for a while and then said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Robin, I'm not a policeman, so I can't help you find a fugitive."

"No, no, no," Mr. Robin said, "I'm not asking you to help find someone, but my cousin and I have been looking for and investigating Zachary. We accidentally learned that Zachary was working for a man named Mr. Hyman works.

"We don't know how to find evidence against Hyman, so we're asking for your help."

He continued: "If you can help us recover that money, we are willing to use 20% of it as your legal fees."

Under Mr. Robin's earnest eyes, Hobert said: "I can't agree immediately yet. I want to investigate first. Please leave me an address. If there is any progress in my investigation, I will write to you."

He said: "Please explain your investigation process in detail."

"Thank you for your help!" Mr. Robin said with red eyes. They have looked for many lawyers, but no one is willing to help them. Hobert is the only lawyer willing to know the details.
