Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert looked around. There were very few customers in the coffee shop at this time, and the two waiters were also chatting at the bar.

He asked Xio in a low voice: "Have you ever heard of the extraordinary person called the 'Scammer'?"

Xio was slightly stunned. This was tantamount to confirming the identity of the two extraordinary people. Then she thought that there was indeed nothing to hide. Hobert should have heard from Miss Audrey that she was an extraordinary person. .

And Hobert, who knows Doctor Extraordinary, must also be an Extraordinary.

Xio considered Hobert's question for a moment: "I heard that some extraordinary people enjoy cheating."

Hobert nodded: "That is most likely the 'Scammer', Sequence 8 of the 'Stealer' path. But fortunately, the 'Scammer' is not good at fighting. If we were not deceived by him, I think the two of us should Can subdue him."

Xio frowned. She didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary commission would actually involve an extraordinary person: "You mean Zachary is a 'scammer'?"

"It may be that he has designed the identity for himself as the gang leader and the manager of the insurance company." Hobert said: "It may not be that there is someone else behind him."

He drank up the cheap coffee: "I want to remind Miss Xio that our investigation may require us to be prepared to confront extraordinary people. This is also the main reason why I asked you to cooperate."

Xio nodded: "Thank you for the reminder. However, although we are a cooperative relationship, after completing the commission, we do not share the reward equally. Instead, you go to your client to get the reward, and I go to my client to get it. remuneration."

Hobert smiled and said: "Of course."

He added: "Do you know the Cuckoo Bar?"

"Know."

"Ah, what a pleasure it is to have a partner who knows the East End well."

Hugh was neither happy nor bored with Hobert's praise. She paid for the coffee in silence and took Hobert to the Cuckoo Bar.

The Cuckoo Bar is also a typical East End bar. When you open the door of the bar, Hobert feels that it is the signature Blue Knight Bar. It also produces wanton laughter and strong smells. It also produces many people looking at people entering the store with drunken and somewhat confused eyes. It also produces many people whispering in the corner with sly eyebrows.

Xio obviously frequented bars like this. She jumped onto the stool in front of the bar with a calm look and ordered a simple meal.

Hobert took out his pocket watch and looked at it, only to realize that it was lunch time. The simple meals here include mashed potatoes, pies, not-so-fresh salads, etc., and the price is cheaper than the food in the cafe.

He didn't rush to inquire about Zachary's whereabouts. He also ordered a simple meal and wolfed it down.

Hobert, who once ate instant noodles for a week, has a high tolerance for food. If Lisa, Audrey's housekeeper, saw the food here, she would probably not eat a bite.

Hobert, who finished eating first, started chatting with the bartender: "Let's talk about what's happening in the Cuckoo Bar recently."

The bartender was about to ask for a tip when he suddenly felt that what this gentleman said made sense. It was just a chat and it seemed that there was no need to ask for a tip: "Okay sir, I heard that Will, the boss of the Blue Knight Bar, is back again. It seems that before The news that he was paralyzed was a rumor..."

Xio, who was preparing to watch the young master Hobert make a fool of himself, was slightly startled, and then she thought that this might be Hobert's extraordinary ability.

She lamented that this ability was so convenient, and she "persuaded" the other party without realizing it.

However, Hobert, who was becoming more and more proficient in the extraordinary abilities of "lawyer", was thinking at this time: I have already paid for the meal, there is no need to tip you again!

The bartender said two trivial things and then added: "I heard that Boss Zachary defrauded a large amount of money. Some people said that he ran away to Dixi Bay to enjoy life. Of course, some people said that he escaped from the violent ocean."

Hobert asked: "When did he leave the Cuckoo?"

"About a month ago."

Hobert nodded, matching the time described by Mr. Robin, and asked again: "Do you know or hear of Mr. Hyman?"

The bartender shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Hobert thanked him: "Thank you for your answer."

He was about to discuss the next course of action with Xio when a middle-aged man with a kind face and a friendly smile on his round face came over: "Two gentlemen, oh, I'm sorry, sir and miss, you seem to want to Do you know the news about Boss Zachary?"

Hobert asked: "You are?"

The other party took off his hat politely: "Sir, my name is Duckholm, and I am the new boss of the Cuckoo Bar. As you know, someone has to do some dirty work."

He said: "Zachary is a respectable boss, but it is a pity that he has already left Backlund. But now I have taken over the business of Boss Zachary. I can take you to the treasure room. If Whatever you like, we will definitely give you a discount.”

As he spoke, he winked at Hobert repeatedly.

Hobert was stunned. Did he think we were people who came to buy stolen goods? And a "treasure room"? Why don't you call it "Treasure Pavilion"?

As for why Darkholm winked, Hobert didn't have time to figure it out. Darkholm had already winked and pulled Hobert out: "Don't worry, there is definitely something you want."

Hobert decided to wait and see what happened and followed Darkholm out of the bar. Hugh also jumped off the stool and followed closely.

When he came to a corner outside the bar, Darkholm looked like he had escaped from danger: "You two, I saved your lives just now. You don't know that the bar is full of subordinates loyal to Zachary. You are seeking death by asking about Zachary's whereabouts."

Hobert felt as if he had encountered a charlatan. This "I saved your life" routine was too superficial.

So neither Hobert nor Hugh said thank you, as if they were watching Darkholm continue his performance.

Darkholm, who did not receive feedback from the "audience", was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he looked very loyal and said: "I save you because of my heartfelt kindness and respect for the goddess. The edict teaches us to help others to the best of our ability.”

He sighed: "Hey, you don't know my difficulties. Zachary only regards me as a pawn, placed in the bar to entertain the guests for him, but I can't decide everything in the bar.

"But I have real news about Zachary here. He actually didn't leave Backlund, he just found a place to hide.

"I really want to help you two, so as long as the price is right, I can take you to him."

Hobert revealed: "You want to use us to deal with Zachary, so you have a chance to become the real boss of the Cuckoo Bar, right?"

Darkholm smiled kindly, but there was something cunning in his eyes: "You saw through it."
