Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 112 The First Round of Investigation

Hearing Simon's words, Harvey Hayden stepped forward and started the interrogation with the "Whip of Pain", and soon got information about Backlund and their accomplices, or the messengers.

But the thieves didn't see what the messenger looked like. They only knew that the messenger looked like a male, wearing a hood and a face scarf, and couldn't see the features of his face and hair at all.

Simon asked, "How did you sneak into my house and steal from us?"

With Harvey Hayden on the side, the thieves felt tremendous pressure, as if a whip that would bring them endless pain was being held up high, and as long as they didn't tell the truth, the whip would fall.

"Don't try to avoid it!" One of the thieves said, "When we entered the Earl's mansion, we didn't meet anyone at all!"

Several mercenaries glanced at each other, how is it possible?The Earl's Mansion doesn't even have a night guard?

Simon said coldly: "You are lying!"

Harvey Hayden immediately puts more pressure on the thieves, and the "Whip of Pain" seems ready to drop at any moment.

The spirits of the thieves had collapsed, and they all cried bitterly and said that they were not lying.

Simon frowned and waved at Harvey Hayden.

Only then did Harvey Hayden let the thieves go.

Hobert had already understood that it wasn't that the Earl's Mansion had no guards, but that the messenger behind the scenes had cleverly avoided all the guards, or blinded the guards.

These thieves were completely taken advantage of, and even their theft was very suspicious. No matter how courageous they were, they couldn't be foolish enough to steal Count Vincent, who was in a good financial situation.

At the end of the interrogation, Simon smiled at Harvey Hayden: "If you can catch the instigator behind it, I am willing to give you a reward of 500 pounds."

Harvey Hayden did not explicitly agree: "As you can see, the instigator behind them seems not simple, I can only help you to pay attention to relevant news."

"Okay." Simon said immediately: "If I can provide effective clues, I will also pay a reward of 20 pounds to 50 pounds."

Several mercenaries exchanged glances, and they were all brightened, but they also knew in their hearts that only Harvey Hayden, who was in the "middle sequence", was able to complete this commission.

The group escorted the three thieves on their way home. Harvey Hayden sat in the carriage with Hobert, who was not riding a horse. Before getting into the carriage, he said to Vico: "Go to the owner of the forest farm who fetched water for us at noon. , tell them the thief has caught, and reassure them."

Vico agreed, and rode away from the convoy to report.

The carriage slowly drove towards the direction of the city, Harvey Hayden looked at Hobert and smiled, "Every time I see you, it reminds me of the days when I fought behind Christine and Chief Rex.

"At that time, I was a soldier and a witness to their legendary life.

"Because of the presence of these two officers, the Feysacs have become more polite, the Fenepots have become more reasonable, and the members of the Spiritual Sect have disappeared."

He sighed: "It's a pity, the two officers were quickly transferred back to Loen."

Hobert followed the topic and asked, "Are you still Rex's subordinate?" He had been waiting for Harvey Hayden to start thinking about the past.

Harvey Hayden nodded: "You should have heard many stories about Chief Rex, right?"

"Yes, but after returning to Loen, their legend seems to be over?"

"That's because Chief Rex doesn't like the royal family..." Harvey Hayden looked outside and saw that there were no other mercenaries beside the carriage, so he whispered: "Chief Rex doesn't like those people in the royal family." As a result, he chose to leave the army.

"It is said that the royal family wanted to round up Chief Rex, but that was Chief Rex. Of course the roundup failed."

Hobert asked, "And then?"

"Afterwards, Chief Rex was completely free. Although the military and the royal family have been looking for him, he often appears in Backlund." Harvey Hayden said with a smile:
"We have always believed that Chief Christine has not left the army because he has been acting as an internal correspondent for Chief Rex.

"But he must have done it very cleverly every time he reported the letter. No one can catch them. Hehehe, their cooperation has always been so tacit."

Hobert asked again: "Do you know anyone who knows about Rex who returned to the Northern Continent?"

"Yes, your father!"

"But he never told me about their experiences after they returned to Backlund. He only wanted to tell their stories in the Southern Continent."

Harvey Hayden's expression was a bit gloomy: "I think Chief Christine, who has lost his best friend, should have lived a very unsatisfactory life these years. The memory after returning to the Northern Continent must be too heavy for him."

He was silent for a few seconds and then said: "You can go to Dix, he used to be the captain of Chief Rex's guard, I heard that he followed Chief Rex all the time, and he didn't start doing it until after the chief died. Business."

Hobert hurriedly asked again: "Where can I find him?"

"His company is at 1899 Nicholas Street. You said that you are the eldest son of Chief Christine. He will drop everything he is doing to see you."

Hobert quickly took out his notebook and wrote down the address.

The subsequent chats revolved around Harvey Hayden's experience in the Southern Continent, which gave Hobert a lot of new understanding of the geography and environment of the Southern Continent.

When the group returned to Backlund, it was completely dark.

Especially in the weather where Backlund is always surrounded by fog, as soon as the sun sets, the city will be completely plunged into darkness.

Simon took them back to Earl Vincent's mansion, paid them a reward, and asked the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.

After dinner, Hobert and Harvey Hayden left correspondence addresses with each other, and then went home in a rented carriage.

Hobert didn't immediately go to Viscount Glaint and tell him about the ring. It wasn't until the next morning that Hobert came to Glaint's mansion and asked Glaint as soon as they met: "Now what time is it?"

Viscount Glaint immediately understood what Hobart meant, and took out his pocket watch to show Hobert, but the hands did not move.

So the two went to the study together, and Hobert briefly described how he met Grelint's father's ring yesterday.

Glaint was surprised at Hobert's efficiency at first, and then he sneered, "Vincent, he has always regarded himself as my father's best friend."

In the end, he also felt a pity: "I don't know if we will have the chance to steal the ring?"

"Maybe," Hobert said, "I plan to call a 'Justice League' gathering, maybe this small organization can develop a few noble children who are as fond of occultism as you are, and in the future will provide us with opportunities to steal rings. "
