Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert took a carriage to the law office. After sitting on the office chair, his shoulders were still a little sore.

After adjusting his state, he first wrote down the things he had to do this week on a piece of paper, and then roughly arranged the order of these things.

He planned to investigate the Zachary mentioned by Mr. Robin first. This case was relatively complicated. He could start the investigation first and then summarize the clues and evidence.

Relatively speaking, the other three cases that Barton gave him were much simpler and could be arranged slightly further back.

Regarding how to investigate Zachary, Hobert thought of a breakthrough: the gang leader in the East District, Vail.

Since Zachary is also a gang leader in the East District, Weir, as a colleague, should know something about him.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Hobert called a taxi and went to the mercenary club first.

Thanks to the reputation of Lawyer Barton, Hobert's gun license was obtained this morning, and he went to the club to buy a revolver.

I believe that the revolver will be used during the investigation of Zachary.

At about half past ten, Hobert took a carriage to the Blue Knight Bar in the East End.

It's still the same here. Even though it's morning, you can hear the wild laughter coming from far away.

As soon as he opened the door, the strong smell and noise hit him. Hobert first saw a short man walking towards him. When he got closer, he recognized it. It was Hugh wearing a men's hat.

"Mr. Hobert, we meet again." Hugh smiled.

As soon as she said this, the bar immediately fell silent.

Hobert said: "Yes, Miss Hugh, I'm glad to see that you can 'coexist peacefully' with Will!" while observing what the drunkards around him were doing.

After about a second or two, a drunkard suddenly said: "Mr. Hobert, my arm was dislocated when I was young. Since then, I have been unable to do heavy work. Do you think it can be saved?" "

As he spoke, he showed his skinny arms and asked Hobert for diagnosis.

Hobert was stunned on the spot. Did he look like a doctor?

Another drunkard said: "Mr. Hobert, my leg was injured last year. It hurts very much every rainy season. You see..."

Xio suddenly said loudly: "I have said many times, he is not a doctor!"

Although she is small, her voice and momentum are so amazing that even drunkards dare not look directly at her.

Hobert lamented that in dealing with this kind of scene, the extraordinary ability of the "arbitrator" is more useful than the extraordinary ability of the "lawyer". In the same situation, the "lawyers" need to "persuade" one by one.

At this time, Weir trotted over: "Sir, why are you here?" The attitude was quite respectful.

At this time, Hobert also understood that it was he who asked Emlyn to cure Will's injury, and Will naturally concealed the matter, so everyone mistakenly regarded him as a doctor with a magical potion.

After thinking about this, Hobert smiled and said to everyone: "I disappoint everyone. I am a lawyer. I can bankrupt the murderer who caused you injuries, but I can't cure everyone's illness."

Hearing the words "go bankrupt", everyone instinctively shrank their heads. No one dared to ask Hobert to help diagnose themselves.

Hobert then turned to Weir: "I'm here to ask you about a gang leader named Zachary."

Weir was stunned for a moment and did not answer Hobert's question. Instead, he looked at Miss Xio. Xio walked to the door and stopped, then walked back step by step.

Hobert understood immediately: "Miss Xio is also here to ask you about Zachary?"

Will looked at Hugh and then at Hobert before smiling and saying: "Yes, sir. I have only met Zachary a few times. His place is over at the Cuckoo Bar. You can go there and ask." "

Hobert looked at Hugh: "Miss Hugh is going to the Cuckoo Bar?"

"That's right." Xio didn't hide his purpose.

"I think we could go together."

The two people walked out while talking, and Will breathed a sigh of relief. These two people he couldn't afford to offend were gone.

When Hobert arrived at the door, he suddenly turned back and said to Weir: "Stop doing things that destroy your conscience, and you may not have the good luck next time."

Will was stunned for a moment. This was a warning and a reminder. He quickly said: "Yes."

But Hobert didn't listen to Will's answer. When Will answered, there were only two creaking doors and the retreating figure.

Hobert and Hugh walked quickly through the dilapidated streets of the East End, which were full of homeless people.

Hobert smiled and said: "Let me guess, did Miss Xio receive a commission about insurance company share fraud?"

Xio said coolly: "That's right." The men's hat on her head suited her current temperament very well.

"We have a common goal." Hobert followed suit and used his extraordinary ability: "Perhaps we can exchange clues or develop deeper cooperation."

When Xio returned to the bar, she had the idea of ​​exchanging information with Hobert, but she was not enthusiastic about cooperation.

But she didn't know why. Regarding the invitation sent by Hobert, she suddenly felt as if she couldn't wait to agree: "Yes, but there is a condition."

"you say."

"Can you stop walking so fast?"

Hobert looked at Xio's short legs: "I'm sorry, I didn't care about the lady's feelings. So, should we find a place to have a good chat? After all, I just rescued you from prison. come out."

This time, Hobert's extraordinary ability did not work. Xio smiled and said, "I will thank Miss Audrey. I think that noble lady will not treat you badly."

Hobert said: "Forgive me for not agreeing with your point of view. It only took me one day to help you solve the problem. Isn't this efficiency enough for you to express your gratitude?"

Xio pointed to the cafe not far away: "I won't argue with you about this. Since you insist on letting me thank you, let me buy you a cup of coffee to express my gratitude."

"Theory?" Hobert realized belatedly, why was he arguing with Xio about such a trivial matter?

Then he thought, couldn't this be a side effect of the "lawyer" potion?

While Hobert was stunned, Xio had already entered the coffee shop first, and he quickly caught up with him.

One of them ordered a cup of cheap coffee, and Xio talked about the commission she had received. Just like Hobert's guess, Hugh also received a commission with a similar situation to Mr. Robin.

"Zachary's fraud targets the middle class," Hobert concluded.

He said: "This class has savings but no power. Even if they are defrauded of all their savings, the police will not work hard to investigate unless there are obvious clues.

"If the same thing happens to a noble, with a little pressure, the police will have to work hard to handle the case."

"I have a similar suspicion." Xio took a sip of coffee and said, "So this is definitely a premeditated and planned fraud."
