Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 78 It’s Tarot Time Again
(This chapter is 3000 words)
In the carriage, Anne and Susie both breathed a sigh of relief.

Susie never thought that one day she would be pointed at with a gun. It was so scary.

Anne wiped the sweat from her forehead before saying, "Miss, this gangster must have been trying to scare you with what he said just now, right?"

"I don't think so." Audrey smiled and said, "For your safety, let's not tell anyone what happened today."

In fact, she realized that "Lelouch's" last words were meant to scare Anne, but the more this was the case, the more she wanted to help the mysterious Mr. Lelouch conceal what happened today.

She is also an Extraordinary Person, and being able to help another Extraordinary Person today gave her great satisfaction.

……

Odysseus quickly entered the church of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and showed the priest the "Holy Emblem of Machinery" hanging around his neck, which was composed of a triangle ruler, levers and gears.

This is the holy emblem given to him by the "Mechanical Heart", which can help him get certain help at any time in any Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

When the priest saw the holy emblem, he immediately invited Odysseus into the confessional.

After closing the door, the pastor asked, "What do you need?"

Odysseus replied, "I might be being followed, so I have to disguise myself here."

"Okay, after you finish dressing up, I'll open the door on the other side of the confessional and you can go out through the side door of the church."

"Thank you." Odysseus took off his mask and his knight's uniform, wrapping his cane inside it. "Please cover my belongings and deliver them to 51 Henry Street. I'll keep 8 soli for the fare."

Of course, this distance would cost less than 8 soli, and the money besides the transportation fee would be given to the pastor.

The priest did not refuse. Under his guidance, Odysseus left the church through the side door without attracting the attention of the believers in the chapel and transformed back into Odysseus Garr, the owner of the herbal medicine shop.

……

On Sunday, Klein spent most of the day keeping an eye on Mr. Gall's subordinate, Enoch.

But the gangster boss spent the entire morning playing cards and drinking in the bar, and resolved an incident in which some drinkers were causing trouble.

He went out at around two in the afternoon and came back around four.

Klein didn't follow Enoch. Instead, he used this time to communicate with several of Enoch's subordinates. They did have some memories of Mr. Gar, but they were all orders issued by Enoch on behalf of Mr. Gar.

For example, tell them to avoid causing trouble, avoid killing people when fighting, and avoid cheating and deceiving others.

Of course, apart from these orders, Enoch's gang members have a relatively secure life.

Mr. Gal actually paid them wages, and if they were injured in battle, they would receive certain rewards, and his medical expenses would be covered. If they died, his family would be given a large sum of money.

Because they have basic living security, this group of scumbags actually have the noble character of rarely actively harming others.

This made Klein sigh: as long as the living environment is not so harsh, even villains will have the idea of turning over a new leaf.

But he found no clues about Mr. Gal. Enoch did not do anything suspicious. He was in the bar most of the time, and occasionally took people to the "Nanmu Ballroom" to help. He would go out every morning or afternoon, as if to conduct some intelligence transactions.

Klein estimated that he would have to keep an eye on Enoch for a long time before he could find some clues.

So he planned to follow some more Mandy ladies tomorrow to see if there would be any clues there.

If there is still no clue, there is nothing else to do. I can only try to divine Mr. Gar's residence in the gray fog.

However, since I have only met Mr. Gal twice, I don't have enough information and may not be able to meet the conditions for divination.

……

Late at night, Odysseus continued to study the connection between occult symbols and the "recording" ability of the "recorder" as usual.

Only after making certain breakthroughs did he leave the "knowledge wilderness".

Monday morning was the day for Odysseus and his two main subordinates to give accounts and settle accounts.

Early in the morning, Odysseus went to the herbal medicine shop to calculate the income and expenditure. Although the herbal medicine shop's business was good and Odysseus could grow most of the goods himself, he could not make much money due to its limited scale.

It can only be said that it is much better than Backlund's middle class, but it is far from reaching the level of a wealthy person.

Around nine o'clock, Mandy's assistant Bella came to hand in the account and reported: "Mr. Gall, Ms. Mandy just heard that Asiborn is commissioning a private detective to investigate you."

Odysseus casually asked, "What's the private detective's name?"

"His name is Sherlock Moriarty, a detective who has become somewhat famous recently."

Odysseus was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"Asheburn's housekeeper commissioned this detective to investigate on Saturday morning."

Odysseus stood up suddenly and asked: "Why report it now?"

This charlatan, no, this detective's investigation was never about looking for clues, but directly using divination to solve the case. Two days was enough for him to find this place.

But then Odysseus thought again: No, I am protected by the "Wilderness of Knowledge". If Klein directly uses divination to investigate me, he should not be able to find out any information.

He could only look for clues from the "Nanmu Ballroom" and Mandy and Enoch.

In this case, it may not be possible to find this place in two days.

Bella was a little flustered. "Asibern might...maybe he realized that we had spies around him, so he's paying close attention to keeping your actions confidential. That's why the news was delayed for two days."

Odysseus pondered for a moment. If Klein had followed him to this herbal medicine shop, he might have discovered that Mr. Gall was the "Hermit."

If they hadn't followed him, there would have been no such discovery. Regardless of whether it happened or not, Mr. Gall couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

So he said to Mandy's assistant Bella, "Go back and tell Mandy that intelligence work focuses on timeliness."

Then Odysseus added, "Tell her to prepare the carriage, for I shall use it this afternoon."

Bella immediately said, "Yes."

At this time, Enoch pushed the door open.

Odysseus asked, "Were you followed?"

"No." Enoch said affirmatively.

Odysseus nodded and took the account book.

In order to prevent being followed here by some people, Odysseus asked Enoch to go out at an irregular time every day. In this way, even if someone followed him to the herbal medicine shop, the other party would not pay too much attention and would think that this was just another business of Mr. Gal.

Mandy pretended to have a headache and asked her assistant to come to the herbal medicine store regularly to buy calming incense to interfere with the tracker's judgment.

But Klein was different. Odysseus had once asked The Fool for help in the backyard, so as soon as he arrived at the herbal medicine shop, he could tell that this was the Hermit's base.

Although one might not immediately associate the "hermit" with Mr. Gal, one would definitely pay close attention to this place. When one saw Enoch and Mandy's assistants running here, one would definitely think that something was wrong.

Odysseus changed his mind and thought: "The Fool" is a false evil god. It seems that there will be no danger if he knows that Odysseus is "The Hermit".

He did not continue to think about this matter, but asked Enoch: "I have just developed a magical technology that can quickly make people proficient in fighting. Go back and ask your subordinates if anyone wants to use this technology.

"Oh, by the way, make it clear to them that the side effect of this technology is a headache for about three minutes."

Enoch nodded: "I'll go back and ask."

After Bella and Enoch left, Odysseus stayed at the front counter, waiting for Klein to come.

But the entire morning passed without Klein showing up. Perhaps after finding this place, he didn't intend to come in directly to look for more clues.

It is also possible that he did not follow here.

In any case, Odysseus planned to take action in the afternoon.

After lunch, Odysseus went to the backyard, first checked the production progress of the "Flame Arrow", and then continued to write the "Fighting Outline".

At 2:50 in the afternoon, Odysseus lay down in the armchair and pretended to take a nap.

At three o'clock sharp, his vision was covered by gray fog, and this week's Tarot Club officially began.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Audrey's greetings were heard around the ancient bronze table.

Shrouded in gray mist, Klein the Fool nodded gently: "Good afternoon."

Audrey couldn't contain her curiosity and excitement, so she didn't rush to ask about the truth behind the Capin incident.

She continued to greet other members while observing them: Hey, "Sun" is very anxious. Did something unexpected happen with the former captain of the exploration team?

Also, Fors was in a state where she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask... She must have seen the report about Kapin's death and guessed that this was something that Tarot would do, but she didn't know who the "Emperor" card represented.

Soon, the greetings were over. Alger, the "Hanged Man," tilted his head and looked upward, saying humbly, "Dear Mr. Fool, I have collected three new pages of Russell's diary."

Although Derrick the Sun was extremely anxious, he did not immediately consult the Tarot Club members. He knew very well that the opening period belonged to Mr. Fool, unless no member submitted Russell's diary.

Magician Fors was a little confused: Diary? Russell's diary?

Klein smiled and asked The Hanged Man, "What do you want to exchange them for?"

Alger glanced at the card covered by Mr. Fool's hand and said, "I want to know what the card next to you is?"

Odysseus thought to himself: What a precise prediction! This must be the question Klein most wants to answer.

Fors vaguely understood one thing: using the so-called Russell Diary, he could exchange it for answers to certain questions from Mr. Fool.

She thought of the notes written by Russell with special symbols, but she didn't expect that it was actually a diary.

Then Fors thought again: Miss Audrey had quite a few, but last week, or the week before, Miss Audrey had said that many of her books and notes had been torn to pieces by the dog! There was no way to buy or borrow from Miss Audrey.

I hate dogs! Fors said bitterly in her heart.

Klein smiled and said, “Okay.

"Do you want everyone to hear it, or do you want it to be known only to you?"

Alger answered without hesitation, "Only I know."

So Klein isolated the other members' senses, and soon the private conversation ended. The other members could see Alger's remaining shock and joy.

This made Fors curious about the card in front of Mr. Fool.

After a few seconds, Alger recovered from the shock of the "Blasphemy Card" and materialized the three pages of the diary.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Mr. Fool finished reading.

Odysseus then spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the Russell diary that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned just now is what is commonly known as the Russell Notes, right?"

Audrey answered enthusiastically, "Yes, Mr. Hermit, do you also have Emperor Roselle's diary?"
