Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Chapter 132 The Detective's Investigation Results

How to make up Russell's diary is a problem.

If only Roselle's history of sex hunting was fabricated, then Louise could write a 10,000-word novel, but that would be meaningless other than to fool Klein...

The same seems to be the case with higher levels of mystical knowledge, which does not help his current situation much. It can only provide Klein with the opportunity to "appear in front of others"... Well, this is probably what he is currently hoping for.

Louise thought for a long time, and wrote the first page of the diary: "On September 2, I participated again..."

After finishing writing, she switched to her left hand, copied it again, made the font unreadable, burned the manuscript, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

On Friday morning, he ordered the maid to deliver the diary to Earl Hall's residence, which was an agreement with Audrey.

After enjoying breakfast, Louise opened the newspaper delivered early in the morning, "Becklund Morning Post". This was one of the many newspapers she ordered, but it was the only one she read every day.

She flipped to the fifth page, and saw an advertisement for the purchase of goods by Ernst Firm!

The quotations are 6 pence per liter of flour, 2 soli/lb of butter, 5 pence/pound of lard, 5 pence per pound of cream, 8 soli/lb of marquise black tea...

This means that the extraordinary party hosted by Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" will be held at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.

You took my money and didn’t go to investigate the commission, but came to hold an extraordinary party. You really deserve it, Detective Essinger... Louise teased in her heart.

However, what she didn't expect was that around two o'clock in the afternoon, Detective Essinger's assistant, Abu, came to No. 59 Egram Street and informed that the commission had been investigated.

The efficiency is really fast, but this probably also shows that there is no Extraordinary involved in this matter... Louise guessed, and apologized in her heart, Mr. Detective is still very dedicated, and only started the side mission after finishing his job... Well, as a member of the "Church of Knowledge and Wisdom", Essinger may hold extraordinary gatherings as his main task...

Louise didn't want to delay, so she invited Abu to ride in her four-wheeled carriage, but the latter sat upright in the carriage without looking sideways, seeming quite nervous.

"Has Mr. Abu participated in this investigation?" She asked softly, trying to ease the other party's nervousness.

"I just help Mr. Detective find information and do some simple investigation work." Abu said meticulously.

Louise continued to ask: "The investigation went well, right? What's the result?"

"I only know that the whole incident has something to do with the Beria gang. Please discuss the specific results with Mr. Detective in detail." Abu replied seriously.

The Beria gang... I remember that the name of a certain demon family was called Beria, and it belonged to the "Blood Worship Cult"... Louise quickly thought of it, but the matter was investigated so quickly, it didn't seem that complicated... …

She smiled and said, "I believe that Mr. Abu will definitely become an excellent detective."

"Thank you for your compliment, I will work hard." Abu responded, finally showing a little restrained joy in his eyes.

…………

Detective Essinger still looked the same, with an old face but a hale and hearty face, holding the shining pipe in his hand, and warmly invited Louise to sit down.

He pointed to a stack of neatly bound documents on the desktop and said: "This is the entire commissioned investigation report, the process and results are all recorded on it."

"According to your description, ma'am, I started my investigation with Baron Cliff..."

That is, the "friend" who invited Bartley to participate in the bet that lost most of his family property... Louise added in her heart, picking up the documents on the table, flipping through them, and listening to Detective Essinger describe the investigation process in detail.

"This Baron Cliff likes to squander money, and even owes a lot of foreign debts, including usury loans from the Beria gang."

Essinger's voice is calm and magnetic, and he can always arouse the interest of the audience when he speaks. This may be a detective's professional skill.

"The Beria gang is one of the larger gangs in Backlund. Their 'main business' is loan sharks, and of course casinos. They have caused many families to be ruined, and they are notorious."

"They found Baron Cliff... It stands to reason that a baron would not be afraid of gangsters, even if he owes money, but this Baron Cliff obviously has his own ideas and chose to accept Beria Gang threats and demands."

Detective Essinger paused here for two seconds, glanced at it lightly, and found that Louise seemed to be watching the report seriously, and there was nothing unusual, so he continued:

"The Beria gang devised a scam, using Baron Cliff to lure Baron Bartley in, causing the latter to lose a lot of money and owe a huge amount of loans."

"Coincidentally, Mr. Bartley's daughter was sick at this time, so he sold everything he could sell, but the Beria gang had no intention of stopping, because their target was Mr. Bartley. shares, it’s a small bank.”

"The bank?" Louise asked repeatedly, she couldn't help showing surprise, but she remembered Bartley's hatred for the bank...

"Yes, a bank." Essinger gave an affirmative answer, and continued to narrate: "Mr. Bartley sold his shares before leaving Backlund, and now that bank has been acquired and no longer exists."

Louise became more and more puzzled: "Since the goal of the Beria gang has been achieved, why did they send me that package?"

"Maybe it's because of the house you're currently living in, or maybe it's for other reasons. We don't know anything other than the entrustment at this time." Detective Essinger replied.

I understand, it means you need to pay more... Louise handed over forty pounds in cash to the other party, and praised: "I am very satisfied with the results of the investigation. You are worthy of being a well-known Backlund detective."

She probably already guessed the reason, it shouldn't be because of the house, this matter may be a temptation.

Beria, the bank, the pentagram formed by the curse...

Essinger accepted the entrustment and said modestly: "It's too much, I hope the results of the investigation will be helpful to you."

Then, he said: "A friendly reminder, in the face of such an unwarranted disaster, calling the police is the most correct choice. I believe that Sivelas Field will guarantee your rights."

Louise smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect to encounter such unlucky things when I first came to Backlund. It seems that I am not welcome here."

"It's just an accident, so don't be too frustrated." Detective Essinger said comfortingly, "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me at any time."

"Oh, no!" He shook his head and smiled, "We should just pray that this matter ends here!"

Louise regained her composure, smiled politely and said:

"hope so."
