Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 258 Leonard's Visit
They arrived at the Tussock River, outside an abandoned glaze factory, Triss quietly got off the carriage and waited there.

Another lady in a black dress seemed to appear in the sunlight, and she reminded:

"Ms. Triss, Mr. Lewis asked me to ask you about Cherry, you should understand."

Triss's round face showed a rare look of surprise. She smiled faintly and asked:

“Mr. Leonardo seems to know a lot of things, and he is so powerful. I really want to know his true identity.

If you tell me the true identity of that gentleman, I will give you the recipe of the 'Pleasure Witch' potion, how about that?"

Shirley's face darkened and she warned:

"Ms. Triss, please put away your little thoughts! Mr. Leonardo's greatness is not something you can fathom. You just need to do your part."

“Heh…” Triss chuckled and said calmly, “Tell Mr. Leonardo that I will take Cherry to see him.”

……

In a castle-like house in Queens, Lewis admired the spring scenery in the yard, his thoughts already drifting far away.

The role of "winner" cannot be completed in a short time, and he is now very close to the seal 0-08. The closer he is to the seal, the more danger it means.

Suddenly, the grass in front of Lewis was bent, and a light sound of footsteps came from far away.

"Mr. Lewis, Triss asked me to tell you that we will meet at the bell tower tonight, and she will bring Miss Cherry with her."

"Ok."

Lewis nodded and silently took note of the news.

He didn't expect that Triss was still in contact with Cherry, but as long as Cherry was found, it would mean that the final battle was about to begin.

After all, Cherry was the messenger of the Witch Cult. Finding him was equivalent to grasping the movements of the Witch Cult, and it would be easy to find Ince Zangwill.

"Before that, perhaps I should tell that being my purpose. If that being disagrees, it may be difficult for me to obtain Sealed Artifact 0-08.

Of course, these aspects are not what I should think about. The gods will always reach a tacit understanding, and that existence has no reason to stop me."

A servant walked along the winding path, came to Lewis, and whispered:

"Mr. Lewis, an inspector wants to see you."

"Please let him in." Lewis did not feel guilty. He was the one who killed both the Master of Secret Dolls and the big businessman Gavin, but no one could find complete evidence.

Due to insufficient evidence, no one dared to do anything too extreme to a follower of a righteous god, unless it was those crazy people in the Aurora Society.

But it was obvious that the crazy people in the Aurora Society were busy causing trouble everywhere, so it was difficult to have anything to do with him.

The butler turned and left, while Lewis continued to admire the newly blooming flowers in the yard, waiting for the inspector to arrive.

A man in a windbreaker and gloves arrived with the butler. Lewis smiled, took off his half-high silk hat and saluted, saying:

"This really surprises me, Mr. Leonard." He really didn't expect that the person coming this time would be Leonard. This former Tingen City Nighthawk later became a member of the "Red Gloves" team after the deaths of Nighthawks Dunn Smith and Klein.

The "Red Gloves" are an elite team within the Nighthawks, and only those who are at least Sequence Seven are eligible to join.

Lewis knew Leonard's life. In the future, Mr. Leonard would join the Tarot Club and become Mr. "Poet".

Moreover, the old angel Pales in Leonard's body is very familiar with Lewis. At least, he has reached several friendly deals with Lewis.

The servant left tactfully, and Leonard saluted Lewis, his muscles bulging, his face gloomy, and he said:
"I am no less surprised than you, the father of alternating current, Lewis Harvey!

Your transformation of identity is really ingenious. The last time I saw you, you were still a detective from Tingen City who believed in the goddess. In just half a year, you became a follower of the god of steam and machinery.

If I hadn't seen your portrait, I would have had a hard time recognizing you."

Lewis smiled faintly:
"We all change, just like you, the former Mr. Midnight Poet. Haven't you become a member of the Red Gloves team now?"

After a pause, he asked:
"I believe your visit this time is not a casual one. Is there anything important?"

Leonard's complexion gradually returned to normal. He and Lewis walked in the garden. The flowers were in full bloom and the scene in front of them was full of vitality, but he could not calm down.

“I heard about your deeds from my colleague Klein. It’s not hard to guess that you might be the first person to come into contact with the mastermind behind Tingen City.

I don't believe you have nothing to do with that incident. I just want to know if the captain's death was caused by your connivance?"

"No, I was not involved in that incident. From the beginning to the end, I was just looking for something lost." Lewis watched the butterfly land on his fingertips, and then watched the butterfly fly away. He seemed to have seen the fate of the butterfly's life.

It is born as an insect, emerges from its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, but it only has less than a month left to mate and fly, until the end of its life, when it returns to dust.

Leonard was stunned for a moment. It was hard to imagine what kind of thing such a powerful and influential person would desperately look for.

"I'll remember what you said." Leonard breathed a sigh of relief. Lewis didn't seem to be lying. The tragedy in Tingen City probably had nothing to do with Lewis.

His eyes became sharp again. In addition to the private affairs in Tingen City, there was also a public matter that needed to be inquired about. He wanted to know Lewis's purpose in coming to Tingen and why he had committed several horrific and terrifying acts.

Leonard accompanied Lewis as they walked aimlessly through the flowers. His mind gradually relaxed, and he spoke in a communicative tone about two recent cases involving extraordinary people.

"There have been two horrific murders recently. One was a supernatural being in the East District, and the other was a businessman in the West District. Both of them are missing, but I think they were already dead."

"Really?" Lewis adjusted his half-high silk hat and asked without emotion:
"Superhumans are inherently dangerous. Don't deaths between superhumans happen every day?"

Leonard's voice was cold:

“This time it’s different. The ones who died are two very powerful Beyonders, one is Sequence 5, and the other is even higher sequence.

Their identities are sensitive, and they seem to be doing illegal business. These two were killed after you appeared in Backlund as the 'Father of Alternating Current'."

"This doesn't prove anything. They were killed after you came to Backlund, right?" Lewis certainly couldn't admit it, even though Leonard had guessed the truth.
