Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 29 Goodbye Miss Hugh

Hobert came to the law firm in a carriage, and after sitting on the office chair, his shoulders were still a little sore.

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

He plans to investigate the Zachary that Mr. Robin said first. This case is more complicated, so he can start the investigation first, and then summarize the clues and evidence.

Relatively speaking, the other three cases given to him by Barton are much simpler, and can be arranged a little behind.

For how to investigate Zachary, Hobert thought of a breakthrough: Will, the gang leader in the East End.

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

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Hobert called a taxi and went to the Mercenary Club first.

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

It is believed that the revolver can be used in the process of investigating Zachary.

Around 10:30, Hobert took a carriage to the Blue Knight Bar in the East District.

It's still the same here, even though it's morning, but wanton laughter can be heard from far away.

As soon as the door was opened, strong smells and noises rushed towards him. Hobert first saw a short man walking towards him, and he didn't recognize it until he got close. It was Hugh wearing a man'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 'get along' with Will!" while observing the nerves of the drunkards around him.
After about a second or two, a drunkard suddenly said: "Mr. Hobert, my arm was dislocated when I was young, and I can't do heavy work since then. Do you think it can be saved? "

As he spoke, he showed his skinny arms and asked Hobert to make a diagnosis.

Hobert froze on the spot, did he look like a doctor?
Another alcoholic said, "Mr. Hobert, my leg was injured last year, and it hurts very much every rainy season. Look..."

Hugh suddenly said loudly: "I've said it many times, he's not a doctor!"

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

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

At this time, Weier trotted over: "Sir, why are you here?" His attitude was quite submissive.

At this time, Hobert also understood that it was he who asked Emlyn to heal Will's injury, and Will naturally concealed this matter a bit, so everyone mistaken him for a doctor with a magical potion.

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

Hearing the words "bankruptcy", everyone shrank their heads instinctively, and no one dared to ask Hobert to help him diagnose.

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

Weier was taken aback for a moment, and instead of answering Hobert's question, he looked at Miss Hugh, who stopped at the door and walked back step by step.

Hobert immediately understood: "Miss Hugh also came to ask you about Zachary?"

Will looked at Hugh, then looked at Hobert, smiled and said, "Yes, sir. I've only met Zachary a few times, and his site is at the Cuckoo Bar. You can go there and ask. "

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

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

"I think we can go together."

The two walked out while talking, and Will was relieved that the two people he couldn't afford to offend had left.

When Hobert arrived at the door, he suddenly turned back to Will and said, "Don't do things that destroy your conscience, and you may not have the good luck this time next time."

Weier was taken aback for a moment. This was a warning and a reminder, so he quickly said, "Yes."

But Hobert didn't listen to Will's answer. When Will answered, there were only two creaking doors and the figure of his back going away.

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

Hobert smiled and said, "Let me take a guess, did Miss Hugh receive an entrustment about the insurance company's share fraud?"

Xio said coolly: "That's right." The man's hat on her head is very suitable for her current temperament.

"We have a common goal." Hobert followed the temptation and used his extraordinary ability: "Maybe we can exchange clues, or start a more in-depth cooperation."

When Xio returned to the bar, she had the idea of ​​exchanging information with Hobert, but she had no enthusiasm for cooperation.

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

"You said."

"Can you stop walking so fast?"

Hobert looked at Hugh's short legs: "Sorry, I don't care about Madam's feelings. So, should we find a place to have a good chat? After all, I just saved you from prison come out."

This time Hobert's extraordinary ability didn't help, 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 solve the trouble for you. Isn't this efficiency enough for you to express your gratitude?"

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

"Theory, theory?" Hobert realized belatedly, why did he argue with Xio about such a trivial matter?
Then it occurred to him, couldn't this be a side effect of the Lawyer potion?

With Hobert's dazed effort, Hugh had already stepped into the coffee shop first, and he hurried to catch up.

One of them ordered a cup of cheap coffee, and Xio talked about the commission she had received, which was no different from Hobert's guess, and Hugh also received a commission similar to Mr. Robin's.

Hobert concluded: "Zachry's scammers are all middle-class."

He said: "This class has savings, but no power, even if they are cheated out of their savings, as long as there are no obvious clues, the police will not try to investigate.

"If the same thing happened to the nobles, the police would have to concentrate on handling the case with a little pressure."

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