As Mr. Fool announced that today's Tarot Club was over, all the members stood up and saluted and disappeared into the crimson light one by one, leaving only Fool Klein Moretti at the top of the long table, and the "world" opposite him.
With a thought, the hooded man controlled by "All-Black Eye" also disappeared into Gray Fog.
Taking a long breath, Klein looked to his left. The seat where "Empress" Angel was sitting just now. When announcing the end of the meeting, the other party kept looking at him with unconcealed curiosity, giving him the illusion that his secret was about to be exposed.
He knew that Angel must have had some doubts about Hanged Man's words, and guessed that Sherlock Moriarty was related to Tarot Club and Fool.
In order to demonstrate his power, "Fool" took the initiative to admit that the Beloved participated in Capim Case's actions, but at this time it produced unexpected negative effects.
Fortunately, he had already made corresponding preparations. He used Marionettist's contaminated Beyonder Characteristic "All-Black Eye" to create a clone of himself on Tarot Club. As an identity to be used when necessary, he had the greatest protection.
Angel at most doubts Moriarty's relationship with the "world".
The problem is, how should I, or Sherlock Moriarty, face the other party?
With a trace of expectation and a trace of hesitation, Klein used Card of Blasphemy "Black Emperor" to strengthen Spirit Body, returned to 15 Minsk Street, and looked at the pair of Emlyn White on the table's investigation report then wrapped them up and returned to Gray Fog, preparing to use the Anti-Divination anti-prophetic properties of Card of Blasphemy and the mysterious nature of Gray Fog to make this report unable to be traced by divination.
Although he laughed at the opponent's "divination expert" several times, Klein knew that Angel was the former Nighthawks's ability to act. If he was not careful, his background might be dug out. I have to prepare some words in advance, maybe she will come to her door the next day... no, I'm afraid she will come to her door tonight.
The deep red faded, and Angel saw the square window outside the study, and Sun, which was obviously sinking further to the west. The hour hand of the pocket watch on the table also pointed to four o'clock, indicating that the time she just spent in Gray Fog was not an illusion.
"The mysterious Mr. World, the eager Miss Magician, the mysterious area where Sun is located, the weird Amon Family..."
Angel recalled everything he had seen and heard on Tarot Club, and regretted that he had not attended the meeting for almost two months. Fortunately, he had returned to the bronze table, and he would definitely not be absent again in the future.
"Miss Magician said that he would initiate a transaction as soon as possible and buy the formula of 'Trickmaster', plus the 1 that Beyonder Characteristic received from the previous sale to 'Eye of Wisdom' 600 pounds, so I have almost 3,500 pounds in cash, and I can even consider buying the revolver that Ms. Kavi mentioned... Well, but this will make me penniless again, so I still have to think carefully..."
A satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if the 450 pounds promised by Magician had already entered her pocket, but then she thought of Hanged Man's words and Fool's "favored one", and the smile gradually disappeared from her face.
"The battle in the Capim Mansion was indeed only participated by Moriarty and I. I thought at first that he asked me to sprinkle Tarot Cards was just some kind of status symbolizing ceremony, but combined with As Hanged Man said, Fool's 'favorite' also contributed to Capim Case, so there is reason to suspect that Moriarty is also a believer of Fool..."
"Could it be that Moriarty is in front of Fool, a member with the code name Tarot Cards? But Mr. Sun of the same gender is obviously not in Backlund, Hanged Man's tone doesn't sound like he's talking about himself, and his hairstyle and vague hair color features are also different. Mr. World... I don't know him well enough, but he didn't react at all when talking about this, and it shouldn't be him."
After such analysis, she actually excluded all Tarot Club members.
"But there is another possibility. Just like Klein, Moriarty also believes in Fool, but did not join Tarot Club. That's why Mr. Fool said that those who participated in killing Capim were his 'favored ones', not members of Tarot Club..."
As long as you don't limit your vision to "inside Tarot Club", the possibilities of Moriarty's identity instantly become richer. I think of "Vice Admiral Hurricane" who died in Backlund for no apparent reason. ", and High Sequence's "favored one" of Fool who killed Qilingus, Angel has a clear idea of Moriarty's identity.
Of course, Moriarty must not be the strong High Sequence, otherwise there would be no need to cooperate with her. He walked into Capim's mansion with a swagger and moved his fingers. This human trafficker and those Beyonder made the headlines of the next day's newspaper just like Qilingus.
"Perhaps, I should test it out and confirm the other party's identity, or, like I did with Miss Justice, I should not expose the other party's identity and only cooperate appropriately to avoid exposing both parties at the same time..."
After looking at his pocket watch and confirming the current time, Angel decided to go to Cherwood Borough to visit Detective as soon as possible, and by the way get the investigation results of Vampire Emlyn White that had been delayed for several days.
"In addition to this matter, we should also pay attention to what Miss Justice said, the poor people of East Borough and Docklands, and the evil belief spread secretly. The human trafficking that Hanged Man is tracking We should also pay attention to the incident... The fact that he is so concerned about this matter must also be the Beyonder of a certain Orthodox Church. Considering that his Pathway is very likely to be 'Mandated Punishers'..."
Returning to Tarot Club, her gradually growing occult knowledge gave her a new perspective on the identities of everyone in Tarot Club. During a break in thinking, Angel left the study to prepare dinner for herself in advance, leaving precious time in the evening.
When we left the subway station and entered Minsk Street, the sky had completely darkened. Above the layers of haze, the light emitted by Crimson Moon was scattered and covered almost half of the sky.
Angel knocked on 15 Minsk Street's door cautiously. Although the soft light came from the bay window next to her, which made her confirm that Moriarty was at home, her purpose of coming was not pure, so she felt a little uneasy at this time.
"Squeak——"
Amidst the friction of loose leaves, the door was opened, and Moriarty, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, called Door Opening. It seemed that he had expected Angel's arrival, and was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and invited the other party to come in.
"I assume you're here to get the investigation report?"
Moriarty looked like he had just finished dinner, and the smell of fried eggs came from the kitchen. His windbreaker and vest were hanging by the door, and he was only wearing a close-fitting shirt. Seeing that Angel had automatically walked to the oriel window and sat down, he turned back to the study and got a document with only a few pages, and handed it to the other party.
The latter looked through it at will and found that Detective had already investigated Vampire who was imprisoned in Harvest Church and claimed to be Emlyn White.
The first address provided by Emlyn, River Bay Avenue 48, belongs to the Dr. White family. Judging from his age, Emlyn White is the son of these two doctors. He is a handsome but somewhat arrogant young man.
Although they are a bit unsociable and don't like to go out, the Dr. White family is regarded by the surrounding neighbors as kind, law-abiding people. Unfortunately, they moved out of River Bay Avenue in a hurry a month ago, leaving only the room that has not been cleaned up and the neighbors who do not know what happened.
"Doll?"
Seeing the description of Emlyn White's room, Angel raised his head curiously and looked at Moriarty, who was sitting opposite and pouring coffee into the cup.
The latter responded with a half-smile, "Yes, the house is full of well-made girl dolls, and the prices are probably not cheap."
"They won't be the kind of, um, 'dolls' made with real body parts, right?"
Not quite believing that Vampire would collect these things, Angel asked cautiously.
"No, they are all ordinary dolls. The smallest one is only as big as a palm, and the largest one is about the same as you. And I have confirmed with divination that no one in the River Bay Avenue 48 family of White has died in ten years, Police Station There is nothing unusual about their files. They may indeed be Vampire, but they don't look like evil people. Well, maybe using Bloodletting Therapy to intercept the patient's blood is considered a small evil, but the patient also received effective treatment."
Bloodletting Therapy... I'm afraid it's to satisfy their thirst for blood, but seeing as Emlyn would rather go to the hospital to steal blood than harm ordinary people, they are considered aliens among Vampire, and his hobby...
Angel nodded and put down the report. These investigations allowed her to confirm that Emlyn and his parents were not bad people. Maybe she could go to Harvest Church to persuade the fanatical Father Utravsky to let him go and reunite him with his family.
Of course, the premise is that the other party is recognized by Priest, otherwise he may have to fight in Earth Mother's church with a fanatical Priest who has got rid of the knot in his heart and has both Sequence 6 Dawn Paladin strength and Mother Goddess believer status. This is not an easy task.
After taking a sip of the hot coffee, Angel put down the coffee cup, took out the 20-pound note he had prepared and handed it to Moriarty, saying:
"Thank you, Mr. Detective, this is the final payment for the investigation commission." She saw Moriarty smiling and reaching out to catch the banknote, and the topic suddenly changed, "There is also a small question. Do you know 'Fool'?"
The other party's hand holding the money paused in the air.
