Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 311 Investigate yourself?

I didn't expect that I would become the boss of the instance.

Hastur was silent for a while before regaining his spirits.

Even if it is a dungeon boss, it must be at least a nightmare or hell level, right?
With Klein's current sequence, he shouldn't be able to defeat himself, and only Mrs. Lisa can hold the situation firmly.

There is just one thing, the situation in Puning Port can't be dragged on, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, lest people from the Evernight Goddess Church bother me every day.

There are two main purposes of the Red Gloves team's trip. One is to find out what happened to Ince Zangwill, and the other is to find the Sealed Artifact 008.

According to the arrangement, 008 is now in the hands of Nast, the king of the five seas. As for Ince Zangwill, everyone is dead, and it is not difficult to find a reason.

Hastur clarified the context of the matter and had an idea in his mind.

Just relying on Klein's hand to solve all the things here at once, and by the way, to add some credit to Klein, at least he can get a bonus, right?

For Mister Fool who lives in poverty, this is definitely the best gift.

On the blank paper, 008 was still writing: "Master, which unlucky guy are we going to write to death next? How about choosing Grestel, who was chasing me all the time, it was so annoying."

Hastur chuckled lightly and said, "There is still such a relationship between you and him?"

"Hmph, his strength is not enough to scare me, but I fell into the hands of Ince Zangwill at the time. You know, he can be regarded as a third-rate screenwriter at best, and the scripts he wrote are not beautiful and have loopholes. It's like a pile of shit, and it always makes Gresta come after him after smelling it."

"Tsk, your level of cursing has improved again."

"Thank you master for the compliment (I'm so happy)!"

"..."

Seeing that 008 has a tendency to assimilate into a dog-licking mirror, Hastur decisively ended the chat with 008.

Leaving the study room and coming to the room where Sharon was resting, Sharon still maintained the posture when he left just now, standing in front of the window sill, looking into the distance.

Azshara had already curled up on the window sill and fell asleep, and didn't bother Sharon any more.

Hastur just took a few glances and left without disturbing Sharon's puppet show.

……

At Puning Harbor, Klein followed Greystai to the terrifying port where the last red glove team was trapped.

Although Grester told him a lot of weird things about Purnin Harbor on the way, she didn't make it clear what was here.

Just let him be careful about coincidences and accidental details that seem to be easily overlooked.

When someone on the ferry comes over to ask for directions, or a hawker selling snacks and fruits passes by, you need to be extremely vigilant and think twice.

In order not to attract as much attention as possible, Greystadt and Klein pretended to be businessmen from the neighboring East Tucker County, and wanted to come here to look for war opportunities related to the Southern Continent.

Klein is the boss, and Greystel is the strong, powerful bodyguard with amazing observation skills.

When arriving at Puning Port for the first time, the first thing is naturally to find a hotel where you can live temporarily.

In order not to be secretly arranged, Greystadt and Klein selected a hotel from several suitable hotels through lottery, and then gave up their plan to live in this hotel, and chose to rent a private house instead.

The living conditions in the private houses are poor, but the place is relatively spacious, and there are relatively few people coming and going, which is very suitable for them to come and go secretly for investigation.

In the evening, Grestel and Klein closed the doors and windows to discuss the results of today's investigation.

"I didn't investigate the information left by the members of the previous Red Gloves team. They may really be trapped somewhere and cannot move freely."

Greystadt took the lead in sharing his findings from today's investigation. After renting a room, he visited many shops and street stalls in the name of buying various daily necessities.

"Perhaps we shouldn't use this as a breakthrough, but should go back to the original question." Klein expressed his point of view with careful words.

"You think we shouldn't go straight for the trapped Red Gloves?"

Klein nodded and said, "Well, we should continue to investigate in depth based on what they found in the previous investigation."

He has rich experience in dealing with 008 and knows how to break 008's means of arranging coincidences and accidents.

First of all, you must never be led by the nose, but always have your own opinions, and focus on one thing all the way to the end, no matter how many changes you encounter during the investigation.

Secondly, we must distinguish the beginning and the end of things, and don't reverse the order.

Take this Puning Harbor incident as an example. The members of the Red Gloves team were trapped.

Finally be careful and be careful.

After silently listening to Klein's personal experience, Greystad said with emotion: "It is indeed my luck to choose you to handle this matter together this time."

Klein just smiled mischievously. He was simply intimidated by 008's ability to arrange scripts, so he thought about many possible useful methods.

As a great man said, it is necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions.

This kind of ability to arrange the direction of the script, spend a lot of thought on writing the script, just to cover up the key information that you really don't want to be discovered.

When he was on the road, he was thinking about how to solve the matter of Puning Harbor.

In the end, I think that following the direction of the Red Gloves team's previous investigation is the most likely way to break the situation.

Greystall pointed to his head and said, "I have written down the list that the Red Gloves team was going to investigate in detail."

Klein admired: "Your memory is really good."

"This is my habit. Information written on paper is always easy to forget or leak out. It is safer to record it here."

Then, Greystadt rewrote the list that the Red Gloves sent back to St. Samuel's Church verbatim.

When Klein saw that Hastur's name was also on the list, he was surprised.

The keenly observant Greystadt asked, "Anyone you know?"

"Well, a baron from Backlund. He should be called Earl Campbell now. Leonard has a good relationship with him."

"That's it."

Greystadt's eyes stayed on it for a while, "You said, should we investigate this matter through the influence of the Earl of Campbell here?"

When inquiring about the news today, he heard someone mention that the current ruler of Puning Port is the Earl of Campbell.

At present, the young Lord Earl is actively rectifying the navy, causing quite a commotion.

Klein hesitated for a while, then said in a calm tone as much as possible: "His name is also on this list, we can't easily trust anyone."

Greystel laughed, "Klein, you're really good."

"We can seek the help of the Grand Duke of South Wales first, and he will ask the young earl to assist in the investigation."

Seeing that Klein was puzzled by this, Greystal explained: "Archbishop Anthony asked me to hide my identity as much as possible before departure. This is indeed convenient, but it is also easy to disappear suddenly."

He also said meaningfully: "In many cases, it is safer to stand on the bright side."

Really going out to deal with things, and staying in the church and speculating are two completely different ways of acting.

One is biased towards practical actions and the other towards verbal theory.

In his opinion, the reason why the last Red Gloves team couldn't even send back a message after something went wrong was because they didn't rely on the power of official institutions on the surface.

Looking at this Puning Port, merchant ships are still bustling, and the streets are full of people. It seems that it is thriving, and there is no problem at all.

If the last Red Gloves team had an official identity, it would definitely not suddenly disappear without a trace.

The doubts on Klein's face dissipated, and he asked, "Is the Grand Duke of Southwell credible?"

Greystall chuckled: "Here, you can always trust the Grand Duke's loyalty to the kingdom, even though he has many shortcomings."

……

The next evening, they received a reply from the Grand Duke of South Wales.

In the letter, the Grand Duke of Southwell expressed his willingness to help them, and had written another letter to Earl Hastur Campbell, the person in charge of Puning Port, asking him to cooperate with the investigation of the whereabouts of the members of the Red Gloves Squad.

This is a truth that Grester wants Klein to understand. On the land of the Loen Kingdom, they represent not only the Church of the Evernight Goddess, but also legitimate officials.

How to use the power of local official institutions to solve things is a must-learn lesson in dealing with extraordinary events.

With the instruction of the Grand Duke of South Wells, no matter whether the Earl of Hastur Campbell is good or bad, he must take some responsibility for this matter.

As for the two of them, they can choose to hide their identities and stay in Puning Harbor to investigate secretly, or they can choose to come to find the Earl Hasta Campbell to act together.

In this way, they have a certain degree of initiative. Even if they have not done anything, the Earl of Hastur Campbell needs to actively do something.

For a new dignitary who came to South Wales from Backlund not long ago, the most important thing to avoid when getting a firm foothold is to cause extra problems.

Greystadt knows this.
