Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 231 Doubtful Points
It turns out that this "master key" that can open all locks and pass through all kinds of obstacles was transformed by this unlucky man after his death...

It seems that what he took was probably the Sequence 9 "Apprentice" potion.

Angel thought of Fors Wall, whom he met at Viscount Gray Lint's party this afternoon. She was an Extraordinary on the "apprentice" path, and had demonstrated abilities similar to those of the Brass Key.

I just don’t know when and where this man died, and how this key fell into the hands of Father Utravsky.

Just looking at this divination scene, it is impossible to confirm what the so-called "curse" of the master key is. Although the negative effect of easily getting lost is annoying, it cannot be called a curse in any case, right?
Moreover, this unlucky "apprentice" reserve claimed to be reviving the Abraham family, so he is probably a member of the family. Although this family was very active in the fourth era and was a great noble of the Tudor dynasty, it is now the fifth By the end of the century, Abraham had long been lost in history, with only a few descendants left, and no famous Extraordinary person ever produced.

"It's a pity that another Abraham family member lost control and died... It seems that becoming a Sequence 9 is not as risk-free as the church's internal information says."

After erasing the divination screen on the magic mirror, Angel played with the key in his hand, still hesitating whether to follow the advice of "Bernadette" and reduce the time of carrying and using it.

"Find an opportunity to ask the priest. Maybe he knows something. Until then, the use of the 'master key' for unlocking is still greater than its side effect of making me get lost."

Putting the key into her pocket, she returned to the one-bedroom bedroom, preparing to rest for the night before returning to the Backlund Bridge area.

On Wednesday, Angel came to her exclusive room at the Divination Club again. Unfortunately, due to the recent serial murders, there were a lot fewer guests here, but at least there was free coffee and newspapers. She paid a 15-pound membership fee to join the club, but she couldn't. Waste these benefits.

And judging from the performance for more than half a month, even if there is no "acting" in front of a large number of people like the Tingen Massacre or the East District Gas Explosion Incident, and she only gives some malicious guidance during divination, it is very likely that she will be in the three Digest the witch's potion within a month and make final preparations for promotion.

If she couldn't get the complete formula and the other half of the potion materials from Servilia by then, she planned to find a solution with Laura.

Opening today's "Backlund Morning News" out of boredom, Angel first checked on the fifth page to see if there were any missing persons notices for Mr. A or advertisements for the purchase of goods from "Eye of Wisdom". Unfortunately, neither of the Extraordinary gatherings were to be held. the meaning of.

"It seems that the serial murders have affected the business of all parties. Extraordinary people are afraid to hold gatherings, and the divination club is also much deserted. Hiss-" She took a sip of coffee and gasped from the heat, "Fortunately, the divination club next door is The teacher has no business, so I can feel more balanced."

After listening for a moment, Angel smiled and turned the newspaper back to the first page and began to read the news.

"Victim No. 12 showed up, this time in the West End, and Silveras Field went into a rage!"

The front page was actually news about a serial murder case again, and it was less than a week since the No. 11 case.

The poor deceased lived on King's Avenue in the West End, not far from the museum where Angel and Audrey and others visited yesterday. He was a fashion designer who had just become famous. The police estimated that the time of death was yesterday evening. , but the body was not discovered until late at night by the landlord who smelled the smell of blood, and it made the news before the morning paper was printed.

The reporter dug up gossipy information about the deceased who had worked as a street girl several times when he was poor. Although it was somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, it did allow Angel to obtain effective information: the killer's targets are still those who have had street street experience. young women.

Thinking of the demon path promotion ceremony that Laura once said, she guessed that the murderer's obsessive-compulsive choice of target might have some purpose.

But even if an Extraordinary commits a crime and kills twelve people in Backlund, the capital of Loen, without being caught, is it possible that the Extraordinaries of the Righteous God Church and the military can do nothing against him?
It was so efficient to find the manuscript of the Difference Engine, but they still fought in the street...

Cursing the official inefficiency, Angel continued to read the newspaper.

"The "Uniform Government Employees Examination Act" is advancing rapidly, and the job requirements for the year-end examination have been announced... The speed of the reform is very fast. Is it in the interest of some people? I remember that Mr. Benson learned about this reform in advance. News, I have been preparing for this for a long time, I hope he can pass the exam so that he and Melissa can live a better life."

"List of members of the 'Air Pollution Investigation Committee'... Is Backlund finally going to take action on this smog that never sees the light of day? The chief secretary is Hibbert Hall, he, Earl Hall, and Audrey Huo Are you a relative? There is Viscount Graylint among its members. Is this the reason why the 'Witch Cult' is close to the Viscount and Earl Hall's family?"

It was Angel's habit to think more when reading the news, but after she turned a few pages, her eyes instantly fell on a familiar name in the corner.This is an obituary. Jason O'Neill's family, who lived in the Jowood District, committed suicide by jumping into the Tusok River after leaving a suicide note.The bodies of the couple have been found, but the whereabouts of their daughter Emily O'Neill is still unknown.

This family had no other relatives in Backlund, but they left a part of the inheritance. This obituary was intended to publicize the death and find other possible successors.

After reading the short obituary, Angel couldn't believe that Mr. O'Neill, who she had met a few days ago, committed suicide with his family.

"He also said that he would move to Jianhai County and take good care of his daughter. How could he suddenly..."

Recalling the neatly dressed man with a smile back on his face, Angel pursed his lips, untied the citrine pendant on his wrist, thought about it again, put down the pendant, and took out the magic mirror.

"Mirror Mirror tells me the truth behind the death of Mr. Jason O'Neil."

The mirror soon showed a picture of Mr. O'Neill, his daughter Emily and a woman embracing each other, and then jumping hand in hand into the Tasok River. The scene was silent, but it shocked Angel's heart.

Was it really suicide?

Or maybe the divination screen was disturbed... but the disturbed black fog did not appear, but the normal divination results were displayed.

Unless the other party has an Extraordinary who specializes in anti-divination, or a magical item with similar effects, the anti-divination is disguised as a false "truth" that will not be discovered...

Looking at the secret holy symbol hanging on the silver chain of the citrine pendant, Angel had another guess.

"Is Caspars here?"

In the Brave Bar, Angel leaned on the bar and asked the idle bartender.

Before the latter had time to answer, a man with a protruding mouth who was drinking and said with a smile:
"That old man Caspars was driven away by our boss, and now his business belongs to us. If you want anything, just say it."

At this time, the bartender nodded slightly, indicating that the man was right.

Drive away?Could it be a conflagration between gangs to seize territory?
Angel frowned. She came to Caspars to ask about the details of Mr. Onel's original search for his daughter, such as which detective was entrusted and where the daughter was found. But if Caspars is not there...

"Can you recommend any detectives who are good at finding people? A friend of mine came to Caspars at the beginning of the month, hoping to find help from these detectives. Well, the results were very good."

She made up a reason to see if the guys who "inherited" Caspars' business had the same information channels.

Sure enough, after the man with the protruding mouth walked into a small room, he returned to the bar soon, holding a note in his hand.

"I asked an old guy to ask. The cripple Caspars recommended this detective last time. The matter was solved in one day!" He turned the note upside down on the stage and motioned for Angel to pay, "1 pound. Cheaper than Caspers.”

After paying the information fee of 1 pound and getting the note, Angel looked at the content on it.

"Sherlock Moriarty, a private investigator who is good at handling various matters, charges a reasonable fee, strictly abides by the principle of confidentiality, and lives at 15 Minsk Street, Jorwood District."
