Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 24 Scammer?
When it was time for dinner, Christine hadn't come back. He would go out to socialize occasionally, and everyone was used to it.

After dinner, Hobert went to observe Rafter as usual, and as usual, he appeared at the gaming table again, spending his sweat and money in gambling.

Ask "Miss Justice" to help investigate tomorrow, and it won't be too late to take the next step after confirming that Rafter is indeed a gambler.

After coming out of the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert gradually fell asleep thinking about Rafter, the three cases in hand, and tomorrow's Tarot Club.

……

In the southern continent, in the upper reaches of the Hodes River, there are no small towns.

Because in the eyes of people outside the town, this town does not exist, so the name of the town is "non-existent" town.

The "low-sequence" Extraordinary gathered as usual, and the "middle-sequence" clansman checked their status.

In this cursed family, most of the Extraordinary died out of control and suicide, and very few people actually died at the hands of the enemy, so there was a practice of checking the status of the Extraordinary every week.

Since the vast majority of people died in the small town, the extraordinary qualities of this family have not been lost for hundreds of years. On the contrary, they have accumulated a large number of extraordinary qualities through other means through fighting.If it wasn't for the curse, they could at least establish a "corpse collector" path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6, and a "prisoner" path from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5.

Elliott of Sequence 8 is also in the "low sequence" queue, and he is the focus of the inspection, because during the routine inspection a week ago, he showed signs of losing control and was forbidden to leave the town .

Calvin, the "Middle Sequence" powerhouse who was in charge of the inspection, was Elliott's uncle. He couldn't believe his eyes: "Elliott, you, all your signs of losing control have disappeared?"

Moreover, his entire body was in order, in stark contrast to the incoordination before.

Everyone looked at this side. In non-existent towns, generally speaking, loss of control is irreversible. As long as there are signs of loss of control, we must pay attention to it, because it is only a matter of one day sooner or later that it is completely out of control.

Elliott once again praised the mysterious existence on the Iron Throne in his heart, and he had already thought of an excuse: "Thanks to the 'Law of Rex' (the Balker family called the method of fighting the curse taught by Rex as ' Rex's law'), I did not expect that those methods can play a key role at critical times."

Everyone nodded or was puzzled, but the routine inspection continued, and everyone stopped paying attention to Elliott.

Calvin shook his head. The "Law of Rex" would work, but not so much. If he hadn't noticed that the curse on Elliott was still there, he would have reported it to the elders immediately.

"Uncle Calvin, can I continue to perform tasks outside the town?" Elliott asked.

Only then did Calvin come to his senses: "Okay, you have no problem anymore, you can freely enter and leave the town."

Either way, it's a good thing Elliott's runaway signs are gone.

……

As soon as the carriage reached the street of the law firm, Hobert saw Mr. Robin standing at the entrance of the law firm.

It was the defendant in the first case that Hobert took over, Mr. Robin who had repaid his debts by auctioning off his house in court last week.

Bai Minglan Street, where the law firm is located, is a street where various offices, service companies and other service industries are relatively concentrated. To attract the attention of potential customers and demonstrate the company's financial strength and capabilities.

The people who came here to look for services were also well-dressed upper-class people from Backlund, and middle-class people who valued decency.

Gorgeous carriages and glamorous pedestrians come and go, but Mr. Robin is an exception. He still wears the worn coat and patched hat, which looks out of place on this street.

Hobert got out of the carriage: "Mr. Robin."

Mr. Robin took off his hat with some embarrassment: "Mr. Hobert, I, I hope to get your help."

"Please follow me." Hobert brought Mr. Robin into the office, wanting to hear what difficulties he encountered.

Hobert shared an office with five other legal assistants. He was the first one to come, and there was no one else in the office, so Hobert asked Mr. Robin to sit down at his desk and gave him a glass of water: " What legal difficulties have you encountered?"

Mr. Robin clutched his hat tightly: "I don't know if this is a legal difficulty, sir."

"Tell me."

"My investment is actually not a failure, I was cheated." Mr. Robin said: "My cousin came to me half a year ago and said that Mr. Zachary, who runs an insurance company, encountered financial difficulties.

"Mr. Zachary is willing to sell some of his shares in order to tide over the difficulties and is looking for investment.

"My cousin got a power of attorney for 0.8% of the shares, but he needed 1600 pounds of funds. He couldn't afford that much money by himself, so he came to me to buy it together. We each paid 800 pounds and the proceeds were shared equally. .

"Sir, this is a very good investment opportunity for us. If we complete the transaction, I will get a dividend of about two hundred pounds every year, which is about the same as my salary.

"I went around to inquire about Mr. Zachary's insurance company, and the answer I got was that the insurance company was very profitable, so I pooled 1600 pounds with my cousin and completed the equity transaction."

Speaking of this, Mr. Robin's expression became bitter: "It wasn't until more than a month later that we found out that the insurance company had never sold shares at all, and their insurance company did not have Zachary at all."

Hobert asked, "Didn't you call the police? Is the power of attorney still there?"

"It was only after we called the police that we learned that Zachary was the boss of a gang in the East District. He had disappeared half a month before we called the police." Mr. Robin said: "It was through the police that we found out that There are many people who have been deceived just like us.

"The share authorization letter is still there, but it has been proven to be a forgery." He took out a share authorization letter while speaking.

Hobert's first reaction was: The con artist is playing?

He thought for a while before he said helplessly, "Sorry, Mr. Robin, I'm not a policeman, so I can't help you find a fugitive."

"No, no, no," Mr. Robin said, "I'm not asking you to help find someone, but my cousin and I have been looking for and investigating Zachary. Hayman's Mr. Work.

"We don't know how to find evidence against Heyman, so we ask for your help."

He continued: "If you can help us recover that money, we are willing to use 20.00% of it as your legal fees."

Under Mr. Robin's earnest eyes, Hobert said: "I can't agree to it right now, I want to investigate first, please leave me an address, if there is any progress in my investigation, I will write to you."

He said, "Tell me about your investigation process in detail."

"Thank you for your help!" Mr. Robin said with red eye circles. They have already found many lawyers, but none of them are willing to help them. Hobert is the only lawyer who is willing to know the details.
