Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 66 The Black Emperor

After returning to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute, Odysseus, accompanied by Max, told Max everything that had happened to him.

He went to Kapin to ask for someone, but happened to be attacked by the majestic figure. It was Parker who attacked him first, and he had to fight back, so he clashed with Kapin and the extraordinary people in his villa.

In a sense, this is indeed the truth, and Odysseus had previously reported on this in the "Mechanical Heart". Celt used his extraordinary ability to judge that what Odysseus said was all true.

It was not until the arrival of Archbishop Horamic Haydon, who looked kind and dressed in white priest robes, that the "Manufactured Punishers" and the military realized the importance the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery attached to Odysseus.

Ikonser Bernard, the senior deacon of the Mechanical Heart, immediately went to ask Archbishop Horamick for help after hearing that both the military and the Mandated Punisher had sent demigods to investigate the case.

Horamick learned that the church's "ace intelligence officer" was involved in an extraordinary case and rushed over immediately.

After meeting Ace, the Archbishop of the Storm Church, and Celt, the demigod of the military, Horamick first chatted with the two of them for a while, and then told them about the "Millionaire Blair Case" that had shocked the extraordinary world a few days ago.

He also stated that thanks to Odysseus providing key clues, the "Mechanical Heart" was able to solve the case without the official Beyonders noticing.

Ace and Celt both understood what Horamick meant: I will personally vouch for this man.

This is understandable. If they were in his place, they would also try their best to protect such an excellent intelligence officer.

So after Ace learned that Odysseus was forced to be involved in this case, he did not ask any more questions.

After learning that Byron's investigation had only uncovered evidence of Capin's crimes, but no other information, such as the buyers of the slaves, Sayles asked Odysseus, "Then why did you seem a little guilty at the entrance to Capin's villa earlier? Why didn't you immediately give us a brief account of what you knew about the case?"

"Because I've heard about the damage caused by the Whip of the Mind," Odysseus said with a helpless smile. "It's said to cause permanent damage, so I'm reluctant to accept your interrogation."

Sellers smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

When the two demigods weren't paying much attention, the rest was basically routine inquiries.

As for questions like where the Beyonder characteristics of Heras and others had gone, Odysseus claimed he didn't know and speculated that they might have been taken away by that majestic figure.

After sending off the military and the Mandated Punishers, Odysseus, who was no longer seriously injured, stood up and saluted Horamick, saying, "Mr. Archbishop, thank you for your protection."

Without the demigod's guarantee, his interrogation would not have been concluded so quickly even under the protection of the Mechanical Heart.

Horamick sat in a chair and smiled and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "I knew my little tricks couldn't be hidden from your eyes."

Then he put away his smile and said, "I took the initiative to shoot Kapin because of his appalling disregard for life. After learning that the majestic figure's goal was to release the kidnapped girls, I offered some help."

Horamick said calmly, "It's human nature."

Odysseus continued, "The four Beyonders who died were all from the Arbitrator path, and the military seems to be paying too much attention to this matter.

"Mr. Sayles seemed to say that he showed up at the scene because he lived nearby. However, I accidentally learned that he owns four properties in Backlund. We don't know if he's actually living in Cherwood today."

Horamick straightened up from his seat and looked at Odysseus: "What do you want to say?"

"The military seems to be planning something." Odysseus said seriously, "I have no evidence, I just have this feeling intuitively."

Horamick, Ikanser, and the others were silent. After a while, Horamick spoke again: "Pay attention to the intelligence in this regard, but do not take the initiative to investigate."

Odysseus immediately said, "Yes!" After Archbishop Horamick left, Ikanser said to Odysseus, "You will stay here tonight and sleep in the lounge. You should be familiar with the investigation procedures of the case. You will be available at any time during the investigation."

In other words, in the eyes of the Mechanical Heart, there was nothing wrong with this young man, Odysseus. However, he still had to pretend to cooperate with the investigation.

Odysseus nodded: "Okay."

Then he said to his good friend Max, "Please get me something to eat. I was doing experiments in the mountains today and didn't even have lunch."

……

Above the gray fog, Klein the Fool, who was sitting at the head of the ancient bronze table, breathed a long sigh of relief: I was scared to death!

He didn't expect that the mysterious lady he met in the Kingdom Museum would sneak up behind him and prepare a very powerful seal for him.

If it weren't for the help of "Above the Gray Mist", I probably wouldn't be able to come back today.

Theoretically, he returned to the spirit world, but the way he did it was not to open a passage to the spirit world and then return to "above the gray fog."

Instead, the power "above the gray fog" opened a door in the real world and brought him back, so the powerful seal was ineffective.

Then, a somewhat tired Klein used the citrine pendant to divine: "The masked young man tonight is Mr. Gar.

“The masked young man tonight is Mr. Gal.

"..."

After silently reciting seven times, the citrine pendant rotates in a clockwise direction.

It really is Mr. Gal!
Klein thought of the powerful battle axe again: "Mr. Gall is also in the arms business?"

No, no, that's not the point. The point is...hiss~
The previous battle consumed too much spiritual energy, giving Klein a splitting headache. He had no choice but to quickly return to the real world to rest and think about this problem again when he had time.

……

The next morning.

Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

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: "Capin is dead."

"Who is he?" Audrey asked.

"A wealthy man who might secretly be a human trafficker." Earl Hall chuckled. "He was murdered last night. All the newspapers reported that the murderer was the thief, the thief 'Black Emperor'."

Black Emperor!
Audrey instantly thought of the "blasphemous card" belonging to Mr. Fool, and she immediately became interested in the case of Capin's murder: "It sounds interesting. Although it's illegal, I have to say that the thief did a great job.

"Dad, what about the process?"

"It's still under investigation," Earl Hall said after taking a sip of tea. "But someone saw a young man wearing a mask break into Capin's villa before he was killed."
