Mystery: Start with the Reader

　　 In addition to Abner, the other one who responded to the pharmacist’s words was Mr. Scarder. He murmured emotionally out of control: "Unlucky... Mr. Detective, you just asked me if I have been unlucky..."

At this time, Mrs. Skard, who had always looked dumbfounded, also broke out. She rushed to her husband's side, grabbed his clothes, and cried out hoarsely: "It's all you! It's all you brought back from overseas! Ruo! It's not those things, how could my little Allen get sick, how can he die now?! You return my Allen!"

　　 "It's my fault... it's my fault!" Mr. Scarder also kept muttering to himself in pain, letting his wife's fist keep falling on him.

When Abner saw the scene become chaotic, and the words of the couple might reveal other secrets, he motioned to Captain Matt to persuade him, and he personally contacted reporters Mike Joseph and Karon as witnesses. The husband and the former suspect pharmacist took out of the cabin.

After leaving the door, reporter Mike took the lead to applaud Abner and smiled: "What a wonderful reasoning. I heard that you just searched the room and found out the truth? It seems that another famous detective is going to be in Luen. born."

　　 "You have a good reputation, I just have better luck." Abner replied modestly.

　　 "This is not a deliberate compliment..." Reporter Mike waved his hand first, and then asked, "By the way, if you don't mind, can I publish this story in the newspaper?"

　　Posted in the newspaper? This is a good thing...I thought about going back to Backlund to play a detective, but due to my lack of fame, I always felt that there would be no decent commission...If it were published in the newspaper, maybe fame would come?

　　 thought this in his heart, but on the surface, Abner said, "I have no problem, but this matter has to ask for the consent of Captain Matt and Mr. Skader."

"Don't worry, there is no major event. Old Matt will not let go of the opportunity to advertise his ship! As for Mr. Skard...I am sure to persuade him." Reporter Mike confidently assured him. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Abner, saying, "This is my business card. If you need it in the future, you can bring him to the "Daily Observer" newspaper to find me."

　　 Now I have to exchange business cards... Unfortunately, I haven't printed it yet, so I can't make a spell for you on the spot...

　　After Neri laughed at himself for a few words, Abner said apologetically: "I'm sorry, because I haven't passed the teacher's assessment yet, and I don't have my own office yet. So..."

　　"Have you not passed the assessment of knowledge and reasoning level like yours? I don't know who your teacher is?" Reporter Mike asked somewhat surprised.

　　 "My teacher is Detective Isinger Stanton." Isinger is a well-known great detective, and Abner has no need to hide it.

Hearing the name Isinger Stanton, reporter Mike didn’t speak yet, but Caron, who had not spoken next to him, said first: “It turns out that Mr. Breen, you are a student of Detective Isinger. Please accept my business card."

　　 This product is really realistic, and I was a little impatient on my face just now, as if I didn’t want to make friends with a small person like me. At this moment, I heard the teacher's name and felt that I had value, so I gave my business card.

　　 Abner just thought so, but the pharmacist behind him sneered again and said, "Hey, this is really a real world."

Mr. Caron couldn't help smiling when he heard this. He glared at the pharmacist fiercely, took a few deep breaths and barely calmed down his anger, squeezed out an ugly smile, and said: "I have something else. Let's say goodbye first."

　　 Both Abner and Mike reporters didn't want to offend people just because of words, so they both said goodbye politely.

　　After Mr. Caron left, reporter Mike shook his head and persuaded: "Mr. Pharmacist, you can easily offend people by talking like this."

　　 "I don't expect him to eat, and I offend him!" The pharmacist replied nonchalantly, and then said again: "By the way, my name is Darkwell. Both of you can call my name directly."

It's really Darkwell... Abner muttered to himself, and then also persuaded him: "There are people who can't help you, but they can ruin your business." He has read a lot of Roselle. Quotations, this sentence should not have been included.

　　 "Yes, this sentence makes sense! Mr. Blaine, you must have received a high-level grammar education!" Reporter Mike praised his eyes when he heard it.

After the three chatted for a while, Reporter Mike and Duckwell also left one after another. Abner then returned to the cabin just now. He still had something to ask Mr. Scudder about, and the detective fee from the other party had not been paid. .

　　 At this time, the excitement of the Skards has almost vented, and they are gradually calming down under the comfort of the captain.

"Mr. Bryan, I know what you want to ask... I will tell you what I know, because I also want to use your rich experience to figure out how to solve the problem completely!" Mr. Skard met Abner Coming in, gritted his teeth and said directly.

　　 Abner didn't expect the other party to figure it out so quickly, but this is a good thing for him, so he nodded and said, "I will try my best to help you analyze it."

　　After Captain Matt left wittily, Mr. Skard sighed and said:

"The matter has to be talked about more than a year ago. At that time, I followed the company’s shareholder Mr. Leinster to go to Bayam to purchase raw materials by boat. On the way back, we rescued an old man who was in a shipwreck from the sea. It's nothing, after all, this is the rule on the sea, and even pirates will rescue those who fall into the water..."

　　 Say the point! Abner was a little helpless, but didn't want to interrupt the other party, so she had to continue to listen to him:

"The old gentleman is a very mysterious person. We thought that he was mentally abnormal, but he reminded us several times to change course, and the result just happened to avoid the danger. This made most of the people on the ship think he is a very capable person. Prophet."

"The old gentleman finally disembarked at a small port on the west side of the Rossede Islands. Before he left, he told us a direction and said that a treasure could be found in that direction, and he was paid for saving him. It was just that. , He finally warned us that we can only take away those on the surface and not open the door inside."

"We sailed in the direction he pointed out suspiciously, and we found a small island a day later. There was a small valley on the island, which contained many items that might have come from the last era, including gold coins, utensils, and sacrificial supplies. "

"We are very happy. Under the auspices of the shareholder Mr. Leinster, we divided the treasure. But at this moment, an iron gate on the stone wall at the end of the valley attracted our attention. Although the old gentleman was leaving before leaving The former warned us, but greed filled everyone's heart and forgot what he said. Finally, Mr. Leinster opened the door..."

　　 Abner was fascinated, and when he stopped, he couldn't help asking, "What's behind the door?"

　　 Mr. Scarder's spirit seemed to be in a trance at this time, and he said in a dreamlike tone: "Nothing...just a few strange murals..."

　　 "What kind of mural? How strange?" Abner asked.

　　 "I...I can't remember." Mr. Skard recovered at this moment and shook his head.

can not remember? Was this affected by the mural, or was it dealt with by someone afterwards? If they come back, they will be unlucky one after another, it is impossible not to disturb the official.

　　 Abner had some speculations in his heart, so he asked: "So, have you started encountering bad luck after you came back?"

"That's not true. At first, it was just that the children of the people who were assigned to the treasure on the ship began to suffer from various strange diseases... My little Allen began to suffer severe pain all over the body at that time." Mr. Skard replied after thinking about it. .

　　 "What about afterwards?"

"Later, our trading company went bankrupt due to various unexplainable reasons, and many unemployed colleagues and I also began to encounter bad luck. Only then did everyone react and felt that there was something wrong with the treasure!" Mr. Skard said. .

　　 "So you called the police~www.NovelMTL.com~ right?"

"Yes, not long afterwards, the military personnel came to the door to confiscated all the items we were assigned, and sent a mysterious person to give us a mass. Finally, they told us that we should be fine..." Mr. Skard said There seems to be a bit of a headache here.

　　 have all the distributed items confiscated? What happened to that gold coin? Hmm...The gold coins seem to be anti-reconnaissance and anti-divination. If the military's ranks are not high, they may indeed be missed.

　　Furthermore, Mr. Scarder’s memory must have been dealt with by the so-called mysterious man during Mass, otherwise he would not have resisted the majesty of the "arbitrator" before.

　　 At this point, Abner basically figured out what happened. He thought for a while and asked again: "I don't know what your belief is?"

　　 "The **** of machinery and steam."

　　 Are you a steam **** who is a sea trader? No wonder the company closed down! Abner sneered and said solemnly: "I can't tell the cause of the incident for a while, but if you want to stop suffering from bad luck, I suggest you go to St. Silland Church immediately after you arrive in Backlund. Pray to the bishop all the time."

　　Mr. Scarder saw Abner's face solemnly, he also became serious, and said: "I will do what you say!"

　　 Ebner breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said. He didn't ask for his detective fee anymore. After all, the gold coin could be used as a reward, although the other party didn't know it.

　　 After Abner left, Mrs. Scarder whispered: "My dear, what should we do now?"

"According to what Mr. Detective said, go to St. Hillland's church to pray! Then stop by to visit Leinster Uncertain's shareholder's house. The strange disease on his son Will's leg is not known if he is cured in Backlund... …Hey!" Mr. Skard sighed melanly.
