On the return journey in the carriage, Hobert was still tense. He didn't heave a long sigh of relief until he got off the carriage of the embassy and returned to his office.

Hobert calmed down, and after some scrutiny and speculation, he gradually became clear about the matter: it should be that during the negotiation between the "Dawn Knight" and Kelly, Tim sent someone or the "judgment team" sent someone Followed Jessica.

However, they did not track the negotiation site in the suburbs. It may be because they are easy to be found by tracking at night in the suburbs, or it may be due to other reasons. They do not know the specific movements of Hobert and others, and they cannot determine whether they killed them. of……

No, no, Hobert realized that if this was the case, they would definitely "rather believe what they have rather than believe what they have not", and they should have launched retaliation long ago.

Hobert thought that at the time he was wearing the seal medallion made of the "Order Crystal", he would not be able to find the murderer through extraordinary means.

They should have very little information, and Tim has no way of identifying the murderer.

Perhaps the only clue they have is that Hobert was also involved in this matter. This should be determined based on subsequent investigations and information obtained from the "jury".

Following this clue, they could of course find out that last Tuesday night, Hobert and Jessica left in a carriage together.

Although the four members of the "judgment" disappeared, Hobert and the other three were the biggest suspects, but a "craftsman" who is not good at fighting, a Sequence 7, and a Sequence 9, it is impossible to kill them silently Burton et al.

Through several of Tim's questions, it can be confirmed that they do not believe that Hobert and others killed the person.

Therefore, Hobert and the other three will instead be used as bait to call out the "big fish behind".

After today's "interrogation", Hobert believes that Tim should continue to observe, and only after finding new clues will there be new actions.

Hobert decided to find an opportunity to put on a mask and use the ability of "travel" to fight back, create an alibi for himself, and completely clear the suspicion.

Thinking of this, Hobert frowned. Speaking of which, Jessica and Kelly should be in some danger now.

Kelly moved, so it might not be so easy for the "jury" to find her, but Jessica has been working normally during this time, and the "jury" can easily find Jessica.

He was just about to call Jessica to tell her a few words, before his raised hand touched the pull wire of the bell, he suddenly thought: "Tim will not be bad for Jessica and Kelly, if Tim takes Jessica If Xika or Kelly took it away, it was almost 'playing the bright card'.

"MI[-] knew that Ambassador Fenepot had suddenly captured a wild Extraordinary, so they will definitely investigate, and this investigation will easily lead to the 'judgment'.

"Of course the royal family of Loen doesn't care about the life and death of a 'low-sequence' wild Extraordinary, but they will definitely use it to blackmail the Fenepot Kingdom!
"If Tim had his brains, he wouldn't do it, but it's still necessary to prevent Jessica and Kelly from being found by the 'inquisition'."

Thinking of this, Hobert still pulled the bell's pull wire.

This kind of bell design is very popular in Backlund's office buildings or homes. There is a rope on the supervisor's side. Just pull the rope here, and the bell on the assistant or secretary's side will ring.

The assistant knew that the supervisor had something to do with him, so he would go to the supervisor's office immediately.

The family version of the bell is that the rope is in the master's room and the bell is in the servant's room.

Because electricity was not yet widely available, the electric bell had not yet appeared.

Ten seconds later, Jessica appeared at the door.

Hobert raised his neck, then pointed to the opposite side of the desk: "Sit."

Jessica understood Hobert's meaning, closed the door, and sat opposite Hobert.

"Recently, we must beware of retaliation from the 'judgement team'. If you can't do it, please take a period of leave. I will communicate with Barton Barton and wait for two or three months before you come to work normally."

Jessica was taken aback: "Did you get any news?"

"Probably." Hobert said, "That 'Knight of Dawn' is, after all, a key member of the 'Judgment Group', and they will definitely investigate.

"And we made an appointment with the 'jury team' to negotiate, and something happened to the 'jury team'. Of course, you and Kelly are the biggest suspects."

When negotiating at the time, Hobert never thought that the four Extraordinary people would have such deep backgrounds, let alone that there would be an ambassador to help with the investigation.

Hearing Hobert's explanation, Jessica was visibly relieved: "Even if they find our current residence, they will never dare to do anything. With you in the law firm, I am safe, so there is no need to worry."

This time it was Hobert's turn to be taken aback: "So confident?"

Jessica nodded with a smile.

Hobert smiled: "Okay. Oh, yes, I have prepared some extraordinary materials for Kelly, and I will wait for tomorrow... no, I have something to do tomorrow, and you will bring it back to her on Saturday."

"You can give it to Kelly yourself." Jessica smiled and said, "We trust you completely, and we are not afraid that you will know our current hiding place."

"Okay, I want to see where you are hiding now, so confident."

After Jessica left, Hobert spent the whole afternoon at work.

In fact, he has nothing to do. Most of the time he is dealing with some documents, helping several lawyers under him to review their defense plans and so on.

After get off work, Hobert took a rental carriage back to his home in Queens. As soon as the carriage walked out of a street, Hobert saw an entertainer performing a "puppet show" on the street.

The means of entertainment in this era are scarce for people like Hobart, but for people of this era, they are almost quite abundant.

Elegant ones, such as drama, opera, dance, symphony, etc., and marketable ones, such as circus performances, and the "Eight Music Car" that can often be seen on Backlund Street, also called "Magic Music Car".

The appearance of the "Magic Sound Car" is generally in the shape of a cart. There is a box on the car, or some animal-like shapes. There is a handle outside the shape. Just use the handle to wind up and start playing music.

In fact, in the shape, it is an octave drum, which is a good entertainment item for citizens who seldom hear music.

This is actually a means of attracting customers. Small vendors will sell some small toys, small tools, cosmetics and other things used by the mothers of the children after the music is played and many children are attracted.

Another common one is "puppet show". For Hobert who has watched cartoons, puppet show is actually not worth seeing.

First of all, the bald man in the clothes imitated the princess's speech, which made people feel that the show was coming out. Secondly, the puppet's movements were actually very blunt. In many cases, they were dragged back and forth on the small stage by ropes.

But it still attracted a lot of viewers, mostly children, and some citizens who had finished their day's work.

The main source of income for puppet show performers is the rewards from the audience.

The children would ask the puppeteers to keep going with what little penny or two they had.

Hobert, who was sitting in the carriage today, glanced at the puppet show on the street, and he suddenly had a thought: I wonder if that bald puppet show actor is a "Master of Puppetry"?
Following this line of thought, Hobert suddenly thought of an application of "Nation of Disorder", and he planned to go to "Nation of Disorder" to try it out at night.

Back home, the dinner table was much quieter. At the dinner table, Hobert told Christine that he planned to follow a mercenary team to explore an ancient tomb tomorrow.

"Be careful yourself. Compared with the ancient tomb, you have to be more careful about your teammates, and prevent being blackmailed by people who have been eyeing you for a long time." Christine seemed to have thought of something: "Don't be burdened, just follow your It’s good to live on a normal trajectory, there is no need to worry that your actions will conflict with me.”

Hobert nodded: "I see."

After dinner, Christine told Hobert to go to the study.

It was only when Hobert came to the study that he realized that the three magical items had been prepared, a table knife, a small wine glass, and a soup spoon.

The soup spoon is larger and deeper than the psychological spoon, but it is easy to distinguish between the two.

Needless to say, this must be the master craftsman that the original owner's biological mother sought to make the magical item. Hobert didn't understand, why did that craftsman have something to do with the tableware?
The appearance of these miraculous items is too dramatic. They were looking for someone to fight, but they went there with a knife and fork.

Those who didn't know thought they were going to a restaurant to eat, but went to the wrong place.

After thanking Christine, Hobert took three magical items and went back to the room to study them.
