Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 91 No such person found
Wearing a mask and a hooded cloak, Odysseus came out of the basement of No. 199 Hairun Avenue. He first saw Hugh Dilcha sitting in the living room and the lady in a light yellow dress behind her.

This lady has long brown hair and beautiful features, but her expression reveals a sense of laziness. She must be Miss "Magician".

When Fors saw that the "leader" really came out of the basement with no other door, she suddenly recalled the plot of a novel she had read before.

The novel mentions that there is a very secure room that is often haunted. Later, after an investigation by a pastor, it was discovered that the room was actually an entrance to hell.

Thinking of this, Fors smiled slightly and thought to himself: Mr. Leader from Hell.

Seeing the "chief" open the door and come out, Xio immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. 'chief', to express my gratitude, I have reserved a table at the Backlund Hotel. Please come and dine."

The Backlund Hotel was one of the top hotels in this international metropolis. Just reserving a table cost three pounds, and the table was in the lobby, not a good spot like the sofa area.

A meal in a hotel like this costs at least 10 pounds per person!
"No need to spend money." Odysseus smiled and said, "What I said yesterday was just an excuse for Danesi and the others."

Without waiting for Xio to continue, Odysseus raised his hand and said, "If you really want to thank me, let me tell you this: I will entrust you with a task in the future. After it is completed, you don't need to charge any commission.

"I haven't decided on anything specific yet, let's wait and see."

Xio nodded. This kind of thanks was indeed more valuable than treating him to a meal. "Okay, if you need me, just let me know."

"Okay." Odysseus changed the subject: "You are a Sequence 9 now, right?"

Hugh answered honestly: "Yes, I am an 'arbitrator'."

Odysseus commented, "For some reason, this method makes it difficult to find the potion formulas and the main ingredients needed for advancement."

"Is such that."

Odysseus asked knowingly, "Do you need me to help you find the formula for a Sequence 8 potion?"

"The formula has been found, and we also have clues about the main ingredients."

Odysseus nodded and said, "If you need help, you can come to me. Consider it my investment in you."

Then he looked at the two ladies in front of him and said, "Well, you two, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Xio said, "I'm sorry to have made you come all this way."

Odysseus waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Xio and Fors watched the "leader" go into the basement. After saying goodbye to the waiter, they left 199 Hairun Avenue in a carriage.

In the carriage, Fors said, "Based on my observation, the 'leader' is not a pervert. His help to you may really be just for investment, with no other intentions.

"Don't be too disappointed. Maybe in two years, you'll be taller and your breasts will be bigger."

Xio looked at his good friend helplessly and said, "Thank you for your encouragement."

Then she said, "I just rarely meet Beyonders who help others, so I'm a little surprised."

"This is Backlund!" Fors smiled. "With so many people gathered here, there must be kind people among them."

Then she changed the subject, "There's one thing I must remind you of. Even if you don't dine at the Backlund Hotel, the £3 fee for reserving a table is not refundable.

"In order not to waste those three pounds, should we stick to our original plan and have lunch at the Backlund Hotel?"

Xio sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's be extravagant for once. We'll celebrate and thank you for helping me find the main ingredients for the promotion, and also congratulate you for obtaining the formula for the promotion."

……

51 Henry Street.

Odysseus and Kena's lunch today included fish and meat, and it looked very rich.

After lunch, just as Odysseus was about to take a nap, Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart", suddenly came to visit.

Odysseus invited him to the lounge in the backyard: "What's the urgent task?"

Generally speaking, when Max visits someone during working hours, it is usually for business.

"After receiving the information you provided yesterday, we immediately sent two team members to No. 166 Anas Road to investigate..." Max, with sharp facial lines, went straight to the point and talked about the purpose of coming to find Odysseus today.

Odysseus made tea for Max while listening to his story.

Yesterday afternoon, a man in his thirties came into the herbalist's shop to buy sunflowers. Odysseus sensed something was amiss with him, so he used his clairvoyance to observe him and discovered his spirit was shrouded in a black mist. Suspecting he was under the influence of dark magic or ritual, Odysseus struck up a conversation and learned his name was Bernie, who lived at 166 Anas Road.

Afterwards, Odysseus drew a portrait of Bernie and sent this information to the "Mechanical Heart".

As a result, when the "Mechanical Heart" sent people to investigate Anas Road, they found that there was no man named Bernie in that residential building, and no traces of dark magic or rituals were found in that residential building.

The "Mechanical Heart" went to the police station to look up information. Although there was a man named Bernie nearby, he was an old man in his seventies and his appearance was completely different from the portrait.

This immediately alerted the Mechanical Heart. Max said, "We infer that someone is indeed performing a dark ritual, but not at 166 Anas Road!
"And Bernie was probably coerced or deceived into buying 'sunflower' from your store.

"Although there's no way to prove these speculations, based on past experience, this is definitely not a simple case of dark rituals!"

Max took a sip of tea and continued, "We haven't found any clues so far, so I'd like to ask you to think about it and see if you can provide some other clues."

Odysseus took the pipe and filled it with tobacco while thinking.

He slowly lit his pipe, took a few puffs, and suddenly asked, "How did you determine that there were no signs of dark rituals being performed at 166 Anas Road?"

Max replied, "Using a seal and observing with clairvoyance."

Odysseus asked again, "In other words, we can only confirm that no one performed any dark rituals during your investigation?"

Max said, "If such a ritual had been carried out, there would definitely be some traces left. So we..."

Having said that, he suddenly thought of a key point.

Odysseus put the key point out for him: "The 'Golden-edged Sunflower' that Bernie bought is enough to erase some traces of evil rituals!"

Max stood up suddenly: "I will take people to search house by house. I hope the criminal has not escaped yet."

"He definitely won't run away." Odysseus smiled, "Because if he runs away now, you will definitely notice him."

Max, cane in hand, walked quickly to the door. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "You've been promoted to Sequence 8. Do you want to participate in this operation?"

He mainly hoped that if he had further clues, he could immediately discuss it with Odysseus. After all, this herbal medicine shop owner had a lot of information about the Backlund Extraordinary World.

Odysseus may be able to help the Mechanical Heart analyze clues that seem to be beyond their reach based on his rich intelligence.

If Max went to the herbal medicine shop for consultation at that time, it would probably give the criminal time to escape.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Sorry, the herbal shop is very busy today."

"If the information you provide can help us solve an extraordinary case, I can apply for a £60 reward for you," Max said. "And if you also participate in the investigation of the case, I can apply for at least £160 for you!"

He smiled and said, "All you have to do is sit in the carriage and answer some of my questions."

Odysseus immediately stood up and said, "As a good citizen of Backlund, it is my duty to help you with the case.

"Let's go! I can't wait to have a life-and-death battle with the evil forces!"

Although it was urgent, Odysseus still went to the basement to get a weapon.

The weapon he used this time was the metal crossbow. First of all, it was because the "Mechanical Heart" knew that Odysseus was Mr. Gall, so there was no need to be shy.

Secondly, if Odysseus saw the criminals escaping, he certainly could not ignore it. Hiding in the carriage and shooting arrows from behind was the best way to attack.

The two took the "Mechanical Heart"'s carriage to No. 166 Anas Road, a six-story residential building. Although it looked a bit shabby, it was a prosperous area due to the developed businesses around it.

From the car window, you can see the clothes drying on the balcony upstairs and some cooking utensils in the kitchen.

Under Max's coordination, more than a dozen police officers arrived quickly and searched house to house under the pretext of searching for the murderer.

Max, wearing a police uniform and with an oversized revolver on his waist, followed the policemen slowly.

Some residents were very cooperative, while others were very reluctant, but after seeing the search warrant, they had no choice but to let these rude policemen in.

When they searched the third floor, the two policemen knocked on a resident's door for a long time but no one answered. When they were about to ask the building manager to open the door with a spare key, the door was broken in by a huge force, wood chips flew everywhere, and the two policemen were knocked down.

The person rushing out from the door was a man with a bloated body, a circle taller and thicker than a normal person, with black hair growing all over his face and hands!
bang~
When the man was about to kick the policeman at his feet away, Max, who had noticed it, fired a shot and hit the enemy in the head. The shot even opened the skull, revealing the wrinkled brain inside.

But the man did not die. Instead, he broke the window and jumped downstairs.
