Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

（This chapter is a 3000-word chapter）

Inside the carriage, Annie and Susie both breathed a sigh of relief.

Susie also didn't expect that one day she would have a gun pointed at her; it was absolutely terrifying.

Annie wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, the bandit's words just now must have been a bluff, right?"

"I don't think so."

Audrey smiled and said, "For your safety, we shouldn't reveal what happened today to anyone."

Actually, she could tell that 'Lelouch' was just trying to scare Annie with his last words, but the more it was like this, the more she wanted to help this mysterious Mr. Lelouch conceal what happened today.

As a Beyonder herself, being able to help a fellow Beyonder today filled her with great satisfaction.

......

Odis quickly entered the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and showed the priest the 'Mechanical Holy Emblem' hanging around his neck, composed of a set square, a lever, and a gear.

This was the holy emblem given to him by the 'Heart of Machinery,' allowing him to receive assistance at any Church of the God of Steam and Machinery at any time.

After seeing the holy emblem, the priest immediately invited Odis into the confessional.

After closing the door, the priest asked, "What do you need?"

Odis replied, "I might be being followed; I need to change my appearance here."

"Alright, after you finish changing, I'll open the other side of the confessional, and you can exit through the side door of the church."

"Thank you."

Odis took off his mask, removed the knight's uniform, and wrapped his cane inside it.

"Please find something to cover my items and send them to 51 Henry Street; I've left 8 Soles for the carriage fare."

This distance certainly wouldn't cost 8 Soles; the extra was for the priest.

The priest didn't decline. Under his guidance, Odis left the church through the side door without attracting the attention of the worshippers in the chapel, transforming back into Odis Gaer, the owner of the herbalist shop.

......

On Sunday, Klein spent most of the day watching Mr. Gaer's subordinate, Enoch.

However, this gang leader spent the entire morning playing cards and drinking in the bar, and resolving an incident where some customers were causing trouble.

He went out for a while after 2 PM and didn't return until around 4 PM.

Klein didn't follow Enoch, but instead used this time to spiritually connect with several of Enoch's subordinates.

They did have some memories about Mr. Gaer, but they were all orders issued by Enoch on Mr. Gaer's behalf.

For example, telling them to avoid causing trouble, preferably not to kill people when fighting, and not to cheat or swindle.

Of course, besides these orders, Enoch's gang members were relatively well-protected in terms of their livelihood.

Mr. Gaer actually paid them wages, and if they were injured in battle, they would receive a certain reward and have their medical expenses covered.

If they died, their families would receive a large sum of money.

Because they had a basic guarantee of life, these scoundrels actually possessed the noble quality of rarely taking the initiative to harm others.

This made Klein feel that even villains would have the idea of turning over a new leaf as long as the environment for survival wasn't too harsh.

However, he couldn't find any clues about Mr. Gaer.

Enoch didn't seem suspicious at all; he spent most of his time in the bar, occasionally taking people to the 'Namu Ballroom' to help out, and went out once every morning or afternoon, seemingly to conduct some intelligence transactions.

Klein estimated that he would have to watch Enoch for a long time before he could discover any clues.

So he planned to go and follow Ms. Mandy again tomorrow to see if there would be any clues on that side.

If there were still no clues, there would be nothing he could do but try to divine Mr. Gaer's residence on the gray fog.

However, because he had only met Mr. Gaer twice, there wasn't enough information, and he might not be able to meet the conditions for divination.

......

Late at night, Odis continued to study the connection between mystical symbols and the 'Record' ability of the 'Recorder' as usual.

He didn't leave the 'Knowledge Moor' until he had made some breakthroughs.

On Monday morning, it was time for Odis and his two main subordinates to report and settle accounts.

Early in the morning, Odis went to the herbalist shop to calculate the income and expenses.

Although the herbalist shop had good business, and Odis could grow most of the goods himself, it couldn't make much money due to its scale.

It could only be said to be much better than the middle class in Backlund, but far from reaching the level of a wealthy person.

Around 9 AM, Mandy's assistant, Bella, came to report while handing over the accounts: "Mr. Gaer, Ms. Mandy just heard that Ashbourne is commissioning a private detective to investigate you."

Odis casually asked, "What's the private detective's name?"

"It's Sherlock Moriarty, a detective who has recently gained some fame."

Odis was stunned: "When did this happen?"

"Ashbourne's butler commissioned this detective to investigate on Saturday morning."

Odis suddenly stood up: "Why are you only reporting this now?"

This charlatan, no, this detective's investigation has never been about finding clues, but directly using divination to solve cases.

Two days would be enough to find this place.

But then Odis thought: That's not right, I have the protection of the 'Knowledge Moor.' If Klein directly uses divination to investigate me, he shouldn't be able to divine any information.

He can only look for clues from the 'Namu Ballroom,' as well as Mandy and Enoch.

In that case, two days might not be enough to find this place.

Bella was a little flustered: "Ashbourne might... might have realized that we have planted spies around him, so he is now very careful about the confidentiality of his actions against you, so this news was delayed by two days."

Odis pondered for a moment. If Klein followed him to this herbalist shop, he might have already discovered that Mr. Gaer was the 'Hermit.'

If he hadn't followed him, he wouldn't have made this discovery yet.

Regardless, Mr. Gaer couldn't just sit and wait to be captured.

So he said to Mandy's assistant, Bella, "Go back and tell Mandy that intelligence work focuses on timeliness."

Then Odis added, "Have her prepare the carriage; I'll need it this afternoon."

Bella immediately said, "Yes."

At this time, Enoch pushed the door open and entered.

Odis asked, "Were you followed?"

"No."

Enoch said with certainty.

Odis nodded and took the account book.

In order to prevent some people from following him here, Odis had Enoch go out at irregular times every day, so that even if someone followed him to the herbalist shop, the other party wouldn't pay too much attention and would think that this was just another one of Mr. Gaer's businesses.

Mandy, on the other hand, pretended to have headaches and had her assistant come to the herbalist shop regularly to buy calming incense in order to interfere with the tracker's judgment.

But Klein was different.

Odis had once asked the 'Fool' for help in the backyard, and as soon as he came to the herbalist shop, he would be able to sense that this was the 'Hermit's' base.

Even if he didn't immediately associate the 'Hermit' with Mr. Gaer, he would definitely pay close attention here.

When he saw that Enoch and Mandy's assistant were both running here, he would definitely think that there was a problem here.

Odis thought: The 'Fool' is a fake evil god. It doesn't seem like there would be any danger if he knew that Odis was the 'Hermit.'

He didn't continue to think about this matter, but instead asked Enoch, "I have just developed a magical technique that can quickly allow people to master fighting skills.

Go back and ask your subordinates if anyone wants to use this technique.

"Oh, right, make it clear to them that the side effect of this technique is that it will cause a headache for about three minutes."

Enoch nodded: "I'll go back and ask."

After Bella and Enoch left, Odis stayed at the front counter, waiting for Klein to come to the door.

But the entire morning passed, and Klein never appeared.

Perhaps after he found this place, he didn't intend to come in directly to look for more clues.

Or maybe he didn't follow him here.

In any case, Odis planned to take action in the afternoon.

After eating lunch, Odis came to the backyard, first checked the production of the 'Flame Arrow,' and then went to continue writing 'Fundamentals of Fighting.'

At 2:50 PM, Odis lay down on the easy chair, pretending to take a nap.

At three o'clock sharp, his vision was covered by the gray fog.

This week's Tarot Gathering officially began.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

The greeting of "Justice" Audrey first rang out around the ancient bronze long table.

"The Fool" Klein, shrouded in the gray fog, nodded lightly: "Good afternoon."

Audrey couldn't restrain her curiosity and excitement, and wasn't in a hurry to ask about the truth behind the Capone incident.

She continued to greet the other members while observing them: 'Eh, 'The Sun' is very anxious. Did something unexpected happen to the former exploration team leader?'

Also, Fors is in a state of wanting to ask but not daring to ask... She should have seen the report about Capone's death, guessed that the Tarot Gathering did it, but doesn't know who the 'Emperor' card represents.'

Soon, the greeting session ended, and "The Hanged Man" Alger turned his head to look at the head of the table and said in a humble tone: "Respected Mr. Fool, I have collected three new pages of the Roselle Diary."

Although "The Sun" Derrick was very anxious, he didn't immediately ask the members of the Tarot Gathering.

He was very clear that this opening period belonged to Mr. Fool, unless no member submitted Roselle's diary.

"The Magician" Fors was a little confused: Diary? Roselle's Diary?

Klein smiled and asked "The Hanged Man": "What do you want to exchange them for?"

Alger glanced at the card covered by Mr. Fool's hand: "I want to know what card is next to you?"

Odis thought to himself: The delivery is really accurate, this should be the question that Klein most wants to answer.

Fors vaguely understood something: the so-called Roselle's Diary could be used to obtain answers to certain questions from Mr. Fool.

She thought of the notes Roselle had written in special symbols, never imagining they were actually a diary.

Then, Fors recalled that Miss Audrey had quite a few, but just last week, or the week before, Miss Audrey had mentioned that many of her books and notes had been chewed to pieces by that dog!

It was impossible to buy or borrow them from Miss Audrey.

I hate dogs! Fors thought resentfully in her heart.

Klein smiled and said, "Alright."

"Do you want everyone to hear, or just yourself?"

Alger replied without hesitation, "Just myself."

So Klein isolated the senses of the other members. Soon, the private exchange was over, and the other members could see the lingering shock and joy on Alger's face.

This made Fors also feel a sufficient amount of curiosity towards the card in front of Mr. Fool.

After a few seconds, Alger recovered from the shock brought by the "Blasphemy Card" and materialized those three pages of the diary.

After waiting a few more minutes, Mr. Fool finished reading.

Audrey then spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the Roselle's Diary that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned just now is what is commonly known as Roselle's Notes, right?"

Audrey replied enthusiastically, "Yes, Mr. Hermit, do you also have Emperor Roselle's diary?"
