Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 44 Your sister?

Simon collected Eve's body and went to headquarters to report her death.

Meanwhile, Yu Jin and his three companions returned to headquarters.

El and Borgia sat back down at the table, silently and mechanically continuing the unfinished game of chess.

Lolota didn't go to the coffee shop again, and sat on the sofa with her head down, looking somewhat dejected.

No one spoke first, creating an awkward and strange atmosphere in the detective agency.

Until a middle-aged gentleman dressed impeccably in a long tailcoat and shiny leather shoes walked into the detective agency.

He glanced at the people in the living room and asked.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Lord Ash Black?"

"Yes, it is. Is there something you need?"

Yu Jin stood up and walked forward, looking at the newcomer with a hint of doubt.

Lord Black.

The middle-aged gentleman removed his hat and placed it on his chest, bowing with the utmost formality. "I am a butler, here on behalf of my master to invite you."

Who is the owner of your house?

Yu Jin frowned slightly and asked, "Have I met him before?"

The butler's master was undoubtedly a nobleman.

However, the only nobleman familiar to Ember was Viscount Grelint.

But as far as he knew, Viscount Grelint's butler was not the one standing before him.

"You and my master have never met."

The butler gave a polite smile. "But you and my young lady should be very familiar with each other."

"Audrey?"

Ember immediately realized who he was talking about and asked in return.

The butler smiled and nodded.

"Feel sorry."

After a moment of silence, Yu Jin slowly said, "I still have work to do."

"It's okay."

The butler replied without hesitation, "I will wait for you outside until you finish your work."

"Then I will wait outside and will not disturb your work."

The butler bowed respectfully again, then turned and left the detective agency.

"Audrey".

El appeared behind Ember without his noticing, his eyes fixed on him, his tone laced with rage, "That Miss Audrey you mentioned earlier, could it be Audrey Hall?"

"Do you know him?"

Yu Jin looked at him with slight surprise. "Could it be that you are also a hidden noble?"

El mistakenly thought Ember was mocking him, and instantly flew into a rage, shouting, "What's wrong with commoners? Did commoners eat your rice?! Can't commoners even hear of nobles? I'm an extraordinary being, for goodness' sake!"

"The captain's words make a lot of sense."

Borgia stared at him intently, "We are, after all, extraordinary beings. Although we can't attend noble banquets as often as you and have no chance to meet Miss Hall, we have heard of Backlund's most dazzling gem."

"The most dazzling gem in Backlund?"

Yu Jin stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "She actually has such a title?"

Elton immediately glared at him with hostility, his eyes seemingly spitting fire, and his expression even appeared somewhat distorted.

If before they were just looking at someone as a class enemy, now they are looking at someone as a heretic.

"You don't actually need to stay here with us."

Lolota sighed softly and said, "Even if we want to investigate the case, it won't be done overnight, and the higher-ups might not even assign this case to us. There's no point in you staying here."

"On the contrary, it's that butler."

Lorota paused, then said earnestly, "He represents Earl Hall. Although he said he could wait outside, if you make him wait too long, it will definitely leave a bad impression on Earl Hall."

"That's my opinion too."

Borgia nodded.

"And what about you, Captain?"

Ember raised an eyebrow and looked at El beside him.

"Get out of here."

El glared at him, annoyed, and said, "Don't let me see you all day!"

He suddenly felt that it would have been better for Yu Jin not to come to work at all!

"All right."

Yu Jin shrugged and turned to leave the detective agency.

Meanwhile, on the street outside the detective agency, the butler was standing quietly in front of a carriage, waiting.

"Mr. Ash, may we set off now?"

The butler, still wearing a polite smile, inquired inquiring.

Yu Jin nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and boarded the carriage.

Then, with the coachman's whip, the white horse pulled the carriage slowly toward Queens.

finally.

The carriage stopped in front of Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

"Please follow me, Mr. Ash."

The butler respectfully gestured for Ash to follow, and then led the way after confirming that Ash was keeping up.

Please wait a moment.

The butler led Yu Jin to a reception room and respectfully said, "The master will be here shortly. Would you like coffee or tea?"

"Black tea, thank you."

Yu Jin nodded, but instead of sitting on the sofa, he walked to the window and looked out at Earl Hall's garden through the glass.

Until the sound of a door opening and approaching footsteps came from behind.

"Click!"

Yu Jin turned around and saw a middle-aged gentleman wearing a dark brown vest and sporting a neat mustache.

undoubtedly.

He is the owner of this villa, and also the one who invited Ember, Earl Hall.

"Good morning, Lord Black."

Earl Hall greeted Ember with a gentle smile as he walked forward.

"Good morning, Earl Hall."

Yu Jin gave a slight bow in response, and at that moment the maid knocked on the door, carrying red tea and snacks.

"I think we can sit down and have a proper talk."

Earl Hall waved for the maid to put down the snacks, then pointed to the sofa and extended an invitation to Ember with a smile.

Once Embers was seated, Earl Hall smiled and said, "I heard Lord Black came from Wintershire?"

"Yes."

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Because of the decline of my family, I am preparing to come to Backlund to find an opportunity to make my family great again."

He had read the information about Ash Black.

This is a fallen nobleman from the northern Winter County, but his rank is not high, only a viscount.

To sum it up in one sentence: He has a sister, a house, and both his parents are deceased.

"To make the family great again?"

Earl Hall looked at the embers with a strange expression in his eyes.

He had naturally investigated Yu Jin's background, given that Yu Jin was quite close to his daughter.

According to the information he obtained, this Viscount Black had just inherited the title this year and chose to come to Backlund because he was dissatisfied with the family's continued decline.

Therefore, Earl Hall had no doubt about what he said.

just.

It's clearly impossible for an ordinary, declining nobleman to maintain a good relationship with the Church of the Night.

Even though he came from Winter County, where the headquarters of the Church of the Night was located, it didn't matter.

There must be an even bigger secret hidden within this Viscount Black.

The document I saw was complete, but it contained some very obvious flaws—

For example.

Why didn't Viscount Black, whose family was almost entirely wiped out except for his sister, bring her with him when he came to Backlund?
