Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 460 The Journey of Conant with Forsi

Bolton the Punisher led the team to the meeting room of the "Balan Fishing Company". There were two rows of corpses neatly lined up on the floor, as if someone lined them up again after they died.

The floor was covered with sawdust, and not a single piece of furniture was intact.

The glass on the window has been broken long ago, and the glass looks like it was shattered by the shock wave from a violent explosion, because there are many glass fragments on the corpse on the ground.

But strangely, no one witnessed or heard the violent explosion.

The strangest thing was that a branch of a big tree outside stretched into the room. From the outside, it seemed that the big tree bent down and stretched its own branch in.

Some people witnessed that the big tree seemed to suddenly come to life, and some even heard the big tree talking.

In addition, one wall of the conference room seemed to have become elastic and became wavy, and two of the walls were full of holes the size of fists.

People who have participated in the war are familiar with such a scene. This is a room that has been strafed by the enemy's heavy machine guns or machine guns.

The only problem is that no one has witnessed the appearance of heavy machine guns here, nor heard the sound of heavy machine guns, and there are no traces of erection.

So the police thought this was an extraordinary case and handed it over to the Punisher. Gale was ostensibly a follower of the "Storm Lord".

Bolton glanced at the line Hobert left behind: "This is probably a vendetta, but it should have been a long time ago.

"The murderer killed so many people in a row and even wrote 'hehe'. This shows that he is a rational and perverted extraordinary person!"

At this time, a police officer quickly walked over from the stairs: "Everyone, do you have any clues?"

Bolton glanced at the police officer angrily: "We have just arrived."

The police officer was full of smiles: "It's the group of reporters below, who have been asking around. I think if I have any clues, I will prevaricate them."

Bolton said impatiently: "Tell those reporters that it's a vendetta or gang fight."

The police officer said with some embarrassment: "The person who called the police saw this line of writing on the wall. Now reporters also know this line of writing. Everyone already knows that it is not a simple vendetta or gang fight."

The two Punisher players looked at their captain, who just said with certainty that this was a vendetta.

Bolton's face turned red, and he reached out and punched a wall: "Why isn't it a vendetta?"

The police officer didn't know the inside story, so he hurriedly explained: "Because of a vendetta, you will definitely write something like 'I took revenge', but the other party wrote 'I found you'. This is obviously the beginning of a serial murder case!"

Bolton was taken aback, then glanced at the writing on the wall again, and muttered to himself, "Didn't I take revenge because 'I found you'?"

This reminded him of those lunatics from the Aurora Society. He still firmly believed that this was a vendetta because he had taken on too many similar cases.

An ordinary person was targeted by a bully, causing his family to be ruined.

At this time, that ordinary person encounters the opportunity to become an extraordinary person. After a few years or more than ten years, the Avengers, whose minds have been distorted by hatred and magic potions, will definitely come back to kill.

It's just that the scene was too bloody from time to time, and the bodies of Gail's family members were not seen. According to investigations, Gail's family members are still fine.

Seems a bit anomalous in this regard.

This is the difference in how the official Beyonders and the police think about the case. Bolton was too lazy to explain to the police officer: "Then you explain it to the reporters according to the gang fight. If not, I will tell the reporters."

The two Punisher members hurriedly asked the police officer to explain to the reporter according to what the captain said, because the captain had just been punished by the headquarters for beating the reporter last month.

……

When Hobert and Forsi reappeared on the streets of Conant City, the two immediately blended into the cheerful atmosphere of the tourists.

For the Loen people, the first choice for vacation is Conant City.

In Hobert's impression, Disey Bay was just at the northern edge of the subtropical zone, and the warm wind on the sea was just blowing to Conant City. When the entire northern continent entered a cold and dry winter, it was still as warm as spring.

In the summer, the Cruz Mountains in South Wales can block most of the hot air coming from the southeast, so the summer in Connacht City is not as hot as other coastal cities.

There are also beaches and small islands not far from the coastline, which can be described as a tourist attraction made in heaven.

It is still the New Year holiday, and there are many tourists from northern counties.

Upton's company, as well as the "Baram Fishing Company", are in another district, where there are fewer tourists and the atmosphere of the Dao resort is not yet felt.

In the shopping street and coastal street, there are crowds of people here, and the streets are full of entertainers performing performances. Most of these performances are musical instrument performances that can be completed by one person, such as violin and saxophone.

Hobert and Fors chatted in a low voice, and occasionally stopped to enjoy street performances, and Hobert would reward a few copper pennies when they encountered exciting places.

Usually, places with performances are very crowded, and Hobert would gently hold Forsi's shoulders to block other people.

At first, Fors was attracted by the guitar performance of the street artist, but when she came back to her senses, she suddenly blushed.

She also didn't know when she stopped resisting being intimate with Hobert.

At this time, she heard Hobert say in her ear: "I can also play the guitar! In a few days, you can help me buy one from Backlund, and I will tell you about it."

When Hobert was in college, he was still a literary youth. Not only could he play the guitar, but he could also sing very well.

But after graduating, everyone spelled "Do you know who his father is"?Gradually, I seldom played the guitar.

Fors felt her chest throbbing: "Okay, okay."

It is rare to hear guitar playing in Backlund. This is a characteristic instrument of the Fenepot Kingdom. The gentlemen in Backlund think this instrument is too frivolous.

In Loon, only this kind of tourist city has guitar performances.

The more Hobert listened, the more hesitant he became, he simply took out a 5-soul note: "Hello, can I borrow your guitar?"

This is a scene that often happens in Connaught City. A certain gentleman who is on vacation suddenly has an itch, so he borrows an artist's instrument and plays a song.

But most of them were violins, accordions and the like, and few people borrowed guitars to use, but the surroundings immediately thought of encouraging applause.

"Of course." The street performer, a young man with a beard, stood up and handed the guitar to Hobert.

Hobert thanked the young man, took the guitar with one hand, and took Fors by the hand with the other to walk around the "cash box" of the street performers.

Hobert focused on plucking the strings to find the feel, but Fors was inexplicably nervous, because there were at least dozens of people watching around, and there were more tourists on the outer layer.

The key is that she has never seen Hobert touch an instrument and is very worried about Hobert.

Classical guitars are somewhat different from modern guitars, but they are similar. After Hobert tuned the tune, his mind suddenly fell into a state of confusion, because his mind was filled with "Blue Lotus", "Travel", "Chengdu" and so on. Song.

But these songs are all Chinese songs. Could it be translated into Loen language on the spot?In that case, the feeling will be completely different!

Fortunately, he pretended to be a young man, ahem, fortunately, he had the experience of a literary youth so that he didn't make a fool of himself. He plucked the strings and sang one of the English songs that impressed him deeply, "Sound of silence". "Sound of Silence".

Rune is also an alphabetic language, so it is similar to the European and American languages ​​​​in Hobert's concept. There is no sense of inconsistency in translation, and the lyrics do not even need to be changed.

After the brisk and somewhat ethereal prelude was played, the onlookers stopped talking and were completely attracted by the rhythm.

When Hobert's crisp and clean singing sounded, many passing tourists also began to come and watch.

Fors at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to appreciate Hobart's performance.

The busker who contributed the guitar first noticed that this was a new song that he had never heard before, but the lyrics were very meaningful, and the rhythm was light and clear, which was very attractive, and it sounded like a song that had been polished repeatedly.

More and more people were attracted by Hobert's singing. After playing and singing, there were already 200 people around!
Hobert stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.

Only then did everyone applaud Hobert one after another, and while applauding, Fors said excitedly: "That's great Hobert, I mean you sing really well!"

Looking at her, it was as if she had just received everyone's applause and affirmation.

"It's okay, okay." Hobert returned the guitar to the street performer.

The artist hurriedly asked: "Sir, can I sing your song just now?"

"Of course." Hobert doesn't rely on this to make a living, so naturally he won't be so stingy.

In the continuous applause of everyone, Hobart pulled Fors out of the crowd.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Forsi, it's really you!"

It was a woman in her 30s who looked good.

"Lin!" Forsi smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Then she introduced: "This is Lin, a best-selling author."

When she introduced Hobert, she suddenly didn't know how to introduce: "This... this is..."

friend?still……?
Hobert smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself, Miss Fors and I are purely boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lin nodded with an "I understand" look on her face. She smiled and said to Fors: "It's fast enough. Last time we talked about marriage in the salon, you said you were single and now you have a boyfriend. !"

Hobert corrected: "It's the fiancé."

He just corrected it casually, but after he finished speaking, he felt that he didn't consider Forsi's feelings, so he glanced at Forsi, and seeing that Forsi didn't intend to stop him, he felt relieved.

Lin covered her mouth: "Oh my god, you... you are progressing too fast!"

Only then did Forsi realize what "fiancé" meant, which often meant living together.

She was a little embarrassed: "It's not what you think!"

But it was difficult for her to make a too specific rebuttal, because she and Hobert did "live together."

Lin didn't care about this: "You must write to me when you get married, and I must attend your wedding!"

Of course, lunch is a treat for Hobert, his "fiancé". How can you not eat seafood when you come to the seaside city?
Hobert very gentlemanly asked the two ladies to go ahead and order. Lin was really unceremonious. She wanted the best shrimp, fish, and crabs, but Forsi looked at the prices behind the dishes first.

Until Hobert reminded her: "You forgot, our expenses are charged to the Coast Gang's account."

Since Upton said that, if it is not recorded in the Coast Gang's account, it will not give Upton face.

Only then did Forsi remember, and started to order the dishes she liked, without thinking about the price.

The three of them were eating happily, when suddenly a middle-aged man with a beard and a fierce face sat next to Hobert: "Long time no see, old friend!"

Hobert looked at the middle-aged man: "You have the wrong person."

"Let me introduce myself," the other party said to himself, "I am a bounty hunter. I may misidentify my wife, but I will never misidentify the face on the reward order, respected Mr. Hobert."

After all, he was out to play, and of course Hobert didn't want to wear a "mask", so he just lengthened his beard and changed his hairstyle, so that he looked more or less the same as his original appearance.

Everyone is here to travel, who will pay attention to whether there are traitors published in newspapers around them?
Sure enough, even after a performance, no one recognized Hobert.

But in the restaurant, Hobert was unlucky enough to meet a bounty hunter.

Hobert smiled and said, "You have indeed misidentified the person. My name is Sherlock."

It suddenly occurred to him that this name also seemed to be unusable, and people from the military and church seemed to be looking for Detective Sherlock.

But the bounty hunter didn't notice this: "Don't worry, I'm also here on vacation, and I won't drag you to claim the bounty.

"I think if I suddenly have 50 pounds in my wallet, I should be able to pretend that I didn't see you."

Of course, the bounty hunter would not be stupid enough to subdue the "[-]-pound bounty man." He felt that since Hobert brought a woman to Connacht, she must be here for fun, and of course he would not want others to discover his whereabouts.

This is another restaurant where people come and go, if the other party doesn't want everyone to find out about his whereabouts, he won't do it easily, so he dared to take the opportunity to blackmail him.

Hobert really didn't want to spoil the fun because of this, and was about to use "connection" to resolve the problem. At this time, seven or eight people came over, and the leader was a middle-aged man who was a bit fat, but looked quite wealthy.

There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was a bit cute and baby fat, holding the arm of a noble lady behind her, and the remaining four or five people were burly bodyguards.

The middle-aged man smiled and said to Hobert: "Mr. Matthew, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hobert got up: "Mr. and Mrs. Dominique, I am very glad that we meet again. Elizabeth, are you also on vacation?"

This is the Elizabeth family who came to Conant City for vacation.

Elizabeth showed a cute smile: "Yes, Mr. Matthew."

Dominia seemed to have changed his face. He was still smiling at the last second, but when he saw the bounty hunter, he asked annoyedly, "What can you do with Mr. Matthew?"

The bounty hunter looked at the bodyguards: "It's okay, I recognized the wrong person."

After speaking, he got up and left.

Dominia winked at two of the bodyguards, who immediately followed. In order to prevent the bounty hunter from continuing to pester Hobert, of course they had to "talk" with the bounty hunter in private.

Dominia smiled and chatted with Hobert for a few words, and then shook hands with Hobert: "I won't disturb your vacation. Goodbye. I hope you have a good time."

He took advantage of the handshake to get closer to Hobert: "Mr. Ulysses once said that as long as you are willing to go to Tingen City, there will be a new identity and a decent new job waiting for you there."

Hobert said: "Take me to thank Mr. Ulysses, I will visit him if I have time."

Elizabeth also came to say goodbye: "Goodbye, Huo...I mean Mr. Matthew."

"Goodbye, and have a good time."

After sending Elizabeth's family away, Hobert smiled and explained to Fors: "I went to Tingen City to handle a case before. At that time, I met Mr. Dominia. I didn't expect to meet him here."

Fors nodded. She remembered this incident. At that time, she and Hugh were avoiding Qilingos, and Hobert was on a business trip in Tingen City, so she and Hugh lived in Hobert's place.

Thinking about it now, maybe it was the rented life together during that period that made her feel that it was no big deal to follow Hobart to Feneport.

At this moment, Lin took a closer look at Hobert: "Don't tell me, you really look a bit like 'Traitor' Hobert!"

She smiled and said, "If one day the books of Forsi and I really can't be sold, please pretend to be Hobert, and we will send you to the police station to collect the [-]-pound bounty."

At the same time, she also felt a little strange. The other party introduced herself as Sherlock, but why did the middle-aged man just call him Mr. Matthew?Is the full name Sherlock Matthews?

Then Lin couldn't help but think: he can't really be Hobert, the "traitor" who killed the prince fell in love with a best-selling author, my God, the inspiration for the next book is here!
Forsi smiled unnaturally at the side: "There shouldn't be such a day."

Because even ten Fors and ten Lins couldn't bring Hobert to the police station.

"I don't care." Hobert smiled and said, "I can earn ten thousand pounds in one day, just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm rich!"

He suddenly thought that he seemed to have earned more than ten thousand pounds today: Hehehe, earning extra money can really make people happy.

The three of us ate about 6 pounds for this meal, and even Lin felt a little embarrassed. Normally, eight or nine people would come to the restaurant and open two bottles of good wine, which would not necessarily cost so much.

Lynn noticed that Hobert had kept the accounts under a name called the Coast Gang.

She became curious, and after saying goodbye to Hobert and Fors outside the restaurant, she returned to the restaurant and asked the waiter, "Hi, may I ask, what kind of organization is the 'Coastal Gang' that gentleman mentioned just now?"

The busy waiter didn't raise his head: "Sorry, I don't know."

When a 1 soli banknote was handed over to him, the waiter immediately put on a smiling face. At this time, there were not many people in the restaurant, so the waiter whispered: "Beautiful lady, the Coast Gang is the largest in Connaught City. of gangsters!”

Lin couldn't help but cover her mouth. It was unimaginable that Forsi actually got to know someone from the gang!No, it's Forsi's fiancé who seems to be so familiar with gangsters!

The waiter may have felt that his answer was not worth 1 sole, so he continued: "But Mr. Upton is a very reasonable gentleman. He has dined here before, and he does not seem rude at all.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Upton recently got the general agent privilege of 'Sharp Machinery Firm'!"

Lin was surprised again. She heard a science fiction writer mention "Ruiyi Machinery Company", which should be one of the best steam engine companies in China.

The gold content of this company's general agent is self-evident. I didn't expect a gang leader to be the general agent of this company!There must be someone behind this with rich channels and contacts to complete such an operation!
She suddenly thought of the gentleman who helped "Sherlock" rescue him: "Do you know that Mr. Dominia?"

"I know him." The waiter smiled and said, "I have a colleague from Tingen who knows him. He is a big arms dealer who also manages transportation, shipping and other businesses. It is said that he is a big businessman in Tingen. .”

Lin sighed: Forsi's fiancé knows all the amazing friends!He can't really be Hobert!Although he betrayed his country and king, he never betrayed his lover.It is absolutely fine to write this in the next book, but you cannot use your real name, otherwise it will easily cause dissatisfaction from the royal family and "traitors".

……

Hobert felt that the wind on the coast was still a bit cool, since it was still winter after all.

But it is only relatively cool, and the wind is much warmer than that of Jeffrey collar. Tourists only need to wear autumn clothes.

After strolling on the beach for a while, Fors stretched while looking at the sea: "Finally walked on the beach here, well, let's go back."

Hobert took out his pocket watch: "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon."

"It will be troublesome if someone recognizes you again." When the bounty hunter threatened Hobert just now, Forsi was very worried.

Worrying about the bounty hunter, of course, lest Hobert would cripple him with a punch, ruining the vacation she had just had some fun with.

Hobert smiled and said, "Wait until someone recognizes me. Anyway, we can leave at any time."

Fors smiled and said, "Alright then."

Continuing to move forward, the two of them played beach volleyball for a while, and then took a boat out to see the uninhabited island.

It's a pity that the water was a bit cold and she couldn't swim, which made Fors feel a little regretful. Hobert looked at Fors' figure and stopped at the chest, and felt that it was a lot less fun.

After getting off the boat, the two of them bought a coconut and drank while sitting on a deck chair on the beach, watching the sun gradually sinking from the horizon.

Forsi said with emotion: "Hobert, this is what life should be like.

"Sometimes I really want to drop everything, and I don't worry about promotion, curses, etc., just go around and have a look.

"Let your life stop and take a break."

Hobert smiled and said, "With me here, you can do whatever you want."

But the book still needs to be written, and it must be finished as soon as possible.

Fors held Hobart's hand and smiled sweetly.
