Mystery: The Stars Returner

"..."

Gray Lint listened to Hasta's explanation of what happened with a confused look on his face. After a while, he hurriedly said: "Hasta, Miss Audrey, you must believe me, I really don't know. It’s even more impossible to send someone to do this kind of thing.”

"Woof." Susie emphasized her presence.

"Oh, and Susie, Susie, you also have to believe me. How could I do such a thing? Right?"

Susie just wagged her tail and didn't answer.

Gray Linte had no choice but to look at Hastur and Audrey, with their aggrieved expressions, it was written on his forehead that he had been wronged.

"Graylint, of course I believe you." Hasta smiled and said: "But the police will probably come to question you in the next few days, so you should try to stay at home and not go out."

"...Okay." Gray Lint sighed deeply.

After leaving Gray Lint's villa, Hastur and Audrey got into a black four-wheel carriage, and Susie lay quietly at Audrey's feet.

As the carriage moved forward slowly, Audrey's eyes flashed with worry, "Mr. Hastur, the other party is obviously targeting you. You should be more careful."

"I will pay attention. You and Susie are the same. You must pay attention to safety. When you are really in danger, remember to ask me for help."

Audrey nodded and asked curiously: "Mr. Hastur, what are you going to do next?"

"Don't pay attention, just pretend this never happened."

Audrey's eyes showed great confusion.

"When the police judge a case, they usually analyze the prisoner's psychological activities when he does bad things. You can try it too."

Audrey pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Performing personality?"

"Absolutely. As expected of Miss Audrey, who is good at psychology."

Hasta smiled and gave Audrey an affirmative look for her answer.

With Hasta's affirmation, Audrey was more confident to analyze, "He has made such a big circle. In addition to provocation and demonstration, he also has a mentality of wanting to see you nervous, flustered, and overwhelmed. .”

"Hmm...like a spider opening its web and getting ready to hunt."

"He weaved a net, watched the prey fall into the net, and then slowly admired the expression of the prey struggling in despair, and finally swung the scythe to end the prey's life."

Audrey spoke with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, "If Mr. Hastur keeps ignoring him, he will definitely make some noise again to attract Mr. Hastur's attention, which will make it easier to catch him. .”

"A well-prepared stage will definitely be very boring if he is the only one dancing solo on it."

"He should be very proud and confident in his own wisdom and methods."

"He feels that he is a god and can easily arrange the fate of others and let others follow the stories he writes."

"Perhaps he had a not-so-good childhood, which led him to crave validation from others."

"In daily life, he may be a very inconspicuous person, or an insignificant existence that is often ignored."

Audrey couldn't stop once she analyzed, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. This feeling made her feel like she was a great detective gradually analyzing the prisoner's psychology and then solving the case.

Peel away the cocoon, starting from the tiny details, and find out the real murderer hidden behind the scenes step by step!

Hastur did not disturb Audrey at this moment, but just looked at her with a smile. At this moment, Audrey was like a beautiful butterfly that broke away from its constraints and emerged from its cocoon, living its own wonderful life.

After analyzing for a while, Audrey stopped. When she caught a glimpse of Hastur's eyes, her face was slightly flushed. She lowered her head in embarrassment and gently reached out to stroke Susie's head.

If she had not been exposed to the occult, she would have wanted to be a detective, and Susie would have been her best assistant.

"Excellent analysis. I think I will soon be able to find the prisoner hiding behind the scenes based on the precise analysis provided by Miss Audrey."

"Then Mr. Hastur will remember my contribution."

"Wang!"

"Of course, Susie must also be counted. You are my detective's most capable assistant."

……

The case of diarrhea came to an end quickly, except that Gray Lint was disturbed and in a bad mood.

As usual, Hasta occasionally went shopping with Audrey during the day, occasionally went to Backlund University to chat and discuss some knowledge with Professor Wayne and Lecturer Foren, and sometimes went to the Hillston area for a stroll.

As for the issue of reputational damage, Hastur sent a precious apology gift to each of the nobles who suffered from diarrhea, and then the police came forward to announce that the prisoner had been found and the case was closed, quickly calming down the matter.

Compared to Hastur's leisurely life, Klein, a rich man named Dawn Downstad, has been so busy recently that he wishes he could split it into two people.

As he appeared at the party held in Hastur and gained a little fame, proving his strength and status, the neighbors around him invited him to dinners and banquets at their homes.

In the past two weeks alone, he had attended eleven large or small banquets.

Even some nobles who were far away or even heard their names sent invitations when they held banquets.

This kind of high-intensity communication even made him take a break for two days to give himself some free space.

Klein was very kind and took his advice, choosing to take a break from socializing and give himself a couple of days off.

He went to St. Samuel's Church again, made a donation as usual, and then chatted with the bishop in charge of prayers in the prayer hall to enhance their friendship.

Thanks to the bishop, Klein basically visited the entire St. Samuel's Church and could already draw a rough topographic map in his mind.

Near evening, Klein came alone to the street where Benson and Melissa lived. Seeing that they were living a good life, he hid his whereabouts and left with peace of mind.

Then he went to the school where Melissa was studying and donated money to the school in the name of supporting outstanding poor students.

I hope it can indirectly help Melissa and also learn a lot about Melissa's life in school.

Leonard was quite conscientious, and even said hello to the school, asking the principal to pay special attention to Melissa's campus life.

At the same time, he would come over basically every other week to see if Benson and Melissa needed help.

Klein was quite touched by this, and gave Leonard a dream that night to thank him for taking care of Benson and Melissa.

"Fuck me!"

Late at night, Leonard, who was sleeping soundly, pulled back the quilt, sat up straight, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Damn it again!

That guy Klein actually gave him another dream!

He said he was thanking him for helping him take care of Melissa and Benson?

But if you really want to thank yourself, can you not suddenly appear in your dreams like this?

"If it happens like this next time, I will... there will be no next time!"

Leonard sat on the bed to rest for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

There's nothing I can do about it. Klein in the dream still looks terrible, and it almost gave him a heart attack.

……

Monday, Backlund time, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Above the gray fog, streaks of deep red light lit up on both sides of the mottled long table, solidifying into blurry, different figures.

Audrey was in a happy mood. Since Mr. Hastur returned to Backlund, she had often followed him to places that Earl Hall usually didn't want her to set foot in. She really gained a lot of knowledge.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Audrey raised the corners of her mouth gracefully, stood up, and naturally greeted all the Tarot Club members.

After greeting each other and sitting down, Hermit Cattleya gave Klein a small surprise.

"Mr. Fool, here are three pages of Emperor Russell's diary."

When Cattleya handed over the three pages of Emperor Russell's diary, she especially glanced at the magician Miss Forsi, her eyes seemed a little proud.

"??"

Forsi was a little confused. Why did you take a look at me when you handed in Mr. Fool Russell's diary? Still showing that look?

She thought for a while and felt that this hermit lady was probably showing off to her the three pages of Russell's diary in her hand.

But is there anything worth showing off about this thing?

I have handed over many Russell diaries to Mr. Fool before.

Hehe, it’s so childish to still act like this when you have grown up.

Forsi felt a sense of intellectual superiority over Cattleya for a moment, and then gave Cattleya a contemptuous look.

"??"

Cattleya was also a little confused. These three pages of Emperor Russell's diary were personally selected by the queen and given to her.

This represents absolute trust from the Queen.

But why does the magician’s eyes look so dismissive?

Is there any closer relationship between her and the Queen?

What could be a more intimate relationship?

Cattleya thought silently for a while, then her eyes suddenly widened. She glanced at Forsi in disbelief, then quickly looked away, shook her head, and got rid of the incorrect thoughts in her mind.

Audrey on the side looked thoughtfully at the eye interaction between Ms. Hermit and Ms. Magician.

Klein was obsessed with the contents of these three pages of Russell's diary. It was indeed a diary selected by Bernadette herself. The contents of this diary were important and allowed him to increase a lot of mystical knowledge.
