Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 247 Air Pollution Investigation Board

"Miss Audrey invited me to her house for a party? But why was the invitation sent to you?"

The next morning, in the reception room of Servilia's house, Angel took a sip of warm black tea, letting the aroma of tea fill his nose, and then asked curiously.

"Of course it's because she doesn't know your address."

Servilia handed Angel a letter with the emblem of Earl Hall's family and looked at her like an idiot.

"And this is also the etiquette among nobles. You were introduced into the circle by me, and her first invitation will be conveyed through me."

Angel nodded, opened the envelope, took out the invitation, and looked at the time. It was this Sunday, which was three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. It was the common afternoon tea time. It also came with some party requirements, such as wearing casual clothes.

It's not a formal salon, it seems to be Audrey's occult party...

She made up her mind, put the invitation away, and then looked at Servilia.

The latter looked hesitant and continued after a moment:

"This time you go to Earl Hall's mansion. I need you to pay attention to a person. He is the Earl's eldest son and Audrey's brother, Hibbert Hall. Pay attention to what is going on about him, especially about the air pollution investigation. Committee situation.”

She described Hibbert's appearance and characteristics in detail, Angel took note of it carefully, and then asked:

"A noble family like Earl Hall should be protected by Beyonders. Will I not be suspected if I deliberately approach the Earl's eldest son?"

"Don't worry, you are a lucky chess piece, we will not waste you at will." Servilia smiled and said softly as if to comfort, "You just need to listen, don't take the initiative to ask questions, and don't show any concern for Heber This way, I will not be discovered by the secret Extraordinaries. No matter what you hear, tell me. Depending on the importance of the information you obtain, you may be able to get the other half of the potion materials soon."

What information is worth exchanging thousands of pounds worth of potion ingredients?
Angel wanted to continue asking, but finally kept his mouth shut.

----

The serial murder case that shocked Backlund was finally solved. The day after Angel and Moriarty killed the demon dog, major newspapers published police announcements on the case.

Unsurprisingly, the police did not disclose any occult content, and the 12 lives were attached to a name that was most likely fictitious. Since the murderer was shot dead on the spot, the process of interrogation and judgment was omitted.

Congrats, congratulations.

Angel, who was reading the newspaper in the Divination Club, turned to the subsequent pages of the "Backlund Morning News" and successfully found information about the extraordinary gathering.

These wild Extraordinaries have long been suffocated by the tense situation. As soon as the serial murder case was solved and the official blockade and manhunt for Extraordinaries ended, they couldn't wait to prepare for a party.

"It's best not to sell the extraordinary characteristics taken away from Kaping's mansion for a short period of time, so as not to be targeted by those secretly looking for the murderer... I can first get rid of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Devil' and exchange my 'Crimson Eyes' , the remaining money can also be used to purchase the formula of the 'Happy Witch', so that I can be promoted before the 'Witch Sect' gives me the complete potion and hide part of my strength..."

Angel calculated, wrote down the time of the "Eye of Wisdom" meeting and the code for knocking on the door, and continued to read the newspaper.

Well, Capin's death was also in the newspapers?
Finding something she was interested in, she spread out the newspaper and read it carefully.

Dark Emperor?
Rogue?

The belongings in the safe?
If it hadn't been just one day since Capin's death, Angel would have doubted her own memory.

The situation was urgent at that time. After killing the Extraordinary and Capin and releasing the kidnapped girls, Angel and Moriarty didn't even have time to collect evidence of his crime. They could only take the most valuable Extraordinary characteristics and leave immediately. Notice the safe.

When she jumped down from the attic, she even saw the official Beyonder flying in the distance. It was most likely a high-sequence expert. Even if she was one minute late, she might be blocked by them in the villa and could only be captured without any help.

Could it be that subsequent investigators discovered these ill-gotten gains and divided them up?
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Cash is undoubtedly a better return than extraordinary characteristics that are temporarily not dared to be sold at gatherings of extraordinary people. Unfortunately, she is not a real "rogue" after all. She only launched the action to rescue innocent girls like Emily. Otherwise, she might The villa will literally be searched for Kapin's life savings.

But "Black Emperor"... She thought of Moriarty, who transformed into the Armor and Crown Ghost yesterday, and inexplicably felt that this title suited him very well.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door of her fortune-telling room, and then a figure entered and closed the door.

"Ms. Laura, welcome to the divination witch's room. What do you need to know today?"

Squeezing out the smile he was accustomed to, Angel looked at the guest.

"Okay, I know you don't welcome me very much, so there's no need to put on that fake smile."

Laura took off her gauze hat and sat opposite her. Rarely, she did not show off her exaggerated number of love candidates, but asked seriously:

"Do you know that rich man Capin from Joe Wood?"

Angel raised his eyebrows, nodded and replied, "Of course I do."

Then she handed the newspaper on the table to Laura, who was just looking happy, and looked at the other person's expression falling.

"I thought you had some other information about the Witch Cult, but it turns out you also found out about it through the newspaper."

"Severia of the Witch Sect ordered me to inquire about information at the Extraordinary gathering, looking for those who sell Extraordinary characteristics, but isn't this Kapin a bad guy who kidnapped girls? How could the two 'Happy Witches' Pay attention at the same time?”

Pretending to know nothing about the matter, Angel asked in a low voice.

"Kidnapping a girl? That was just to satisfy the peculiar habits of some high-level officials and let them open the door to his business. It was an insignificant part of his crime." Laura looked disdainful and lowered her voice, just like Angel. It was a pair of criminals discussing a conspiracy. "What he really did was to capture homeless and uncared-for vagrants and poor people in Backlund and traffic them abroad."

"Human traffickers?"

Angel exclaimed.

No wonder there are so many Beyonders in his mansion, and no wonder the "Witch Sect" is extremely concerned about his death. It turns out that this guy is not just as simple as catching a few girls, he has also participated in the Witch Sect across several cities, and maybe even throughout the entire country. The kingdom’s human trade…

"Yes, more than a thousand Backlund residents have been trafficked through Kapin's channels, and that's just this year. This time he didn't know who he offended, and he died tragically in his villa. It is said that the representative of the Church of Storms The Punisher turned the villa upside down, and those secret documents should have fallen into the hands of the church. Ha, it was enough to mess up the Witch Sect's population business for a while."

It turns out that it was really a follow-up to the Church of Storms' handling. It seems that the so-called safe that was emptied by the thieves was probably used as a working capital for the 'punishers'.

Angel thought secretly.

"Besides Capping, there is another thing I need your help with." She folded the newspaper with the figure of the rogue "Black Emperor" standing in the wind. Laura continued, "Hibbert Hall, your new The brother of my friend Miss Audrey is also the chief secretary of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee..."

"Do you also want me to inquire about the investigation committee?"

Angel's curiosity, which had been growing since she went to Servilia's house in the morning, finally burst out, and she frowned and interrupted the other person's words.

"The Witch Cult also made me care about this matter. Why is everyone suddenly starting to care about Backlund's air pollution?"

"Pollution? Even if they demolish all the factories, it's none of my business," Laura sneered, "But whatever the Witch Cult cares about, I will care about. The same goes for Cappin, and so does Hibbert Hall. "

She picked up the gauze hat, put it on, and stood up.

"Give me a copy of the information for the Witch Sect, and I will exchange it for the formula of 'Happiness'."
