Backlund, factory district, Nikola Shipyard.
Last night, this place was sealed off by the police, with not only police carriages but also a carriage bearing the Dark Sacred Emblem.
Because the legal representative of the shipyard is a believer of the Evernight Goddess, this case was transferred to the "Nighthawks" team.
Early morning is when the winter smog is at its thickest, but reporters are still waiting outside, waiting for the police to announce the latest information.
With a horse's neigh, another carriage with the Dark Sacred Emblem entered the shipyard. Leonard got out of the carriage and looked at the first floor of the factory office building.
The doors and windows on the first floor seemed to have been crushed by a surge of great force. All the glass was broken, and the door was directly squeezed down. The entrance looked empty.
Leonard quickly arrived at the scene, where two colleagues, Lorotta and Borgia, were already present.
"Any leads?" he asked.
At this time, the bodies at the scene had been cleared, leaving only the Tarot card on the ground. Leonard glanced at it; it was the "Emperor" card.
Loretto glanced at Leonard: "This case doesn't seem to have been assigned to the 'Red Gloves', right?"
"I heard that a Tarot card was found at the scene, which is similar to the previous case, so Captain Soest asked me to see if there are any related clues."
Loretto said "Oh": "According to our investigation, the deceased were all members of the Tamara family."
"Through a search of the hall and office, we suspect that several homicides in the past two years are related to them. We have not been able to find their den before. Unexpectedly, they used such a large shipyard as a cover."
"Unfortunately, their spirituality has basically dissipated when we arrived, and there is no way to divine the clues of the murderer. Otherwise, we will definitely find the murderer, give him an award, and send him behind the Chanis Gate by the way."
Leonard asked: "There seem to be many employee dormitories around, right? Are there any eyewitnesses?"
"Yes." Borgia replied: "But the eyewitnesses said that when they heard the fighting, they saw the first floor of the office building was shrouded in a layer of black fog, and they couldn't see the situation inside."
As Hobert can borrow the power of "Nation of Disorder" in the real world, the appearance of "Tree of Order" has also changed.
Only near the "Tree of Order", or using special items in the distance, can you see its crown clearly.
Because the light is distorted by the "Tree of Order", ordinary people can't see the appearance of the crown at all from a distance.
Leonard glanced at the Tarot card on the ground again. The last time a Tarot card appeared in a case was when someone reported the discovery of Lanevus.
Someone appeared in time on the only way for Lanevus to escape and killed this hateful "swindler".
At that time, Tarot cards were scattered all over the scene, but today's crime scene only has one "Emperor" card. Could it be that the last time was a crime of passion? And this time it was a premeditated crime?
But what is the connection between the two? Could it be that Lanevus has something to do with the members of the Tamara family? What does the "Emperor" card represent?
On the way back, when only Leonard was left in the carriage, he whispered, "Old man, what do you think?"
"Is this the way you should address an elder when asking for advice?"
Leonard smiled: "It seems you haven't found any clues either."
"That card is the clue!" Pallez, who was parasitizing Leonard, said: "The main sequence mastered by the Tamara family includes the 'Black Emperor' pathway."
Leonard understood: "This is a battle for Beyonder characteristics, but... but what does it have to do with Tarot cards? Could it be that a mysterious organization with Tarot cards as codenames has appeared? The murderer yesterday was a member holding the 'Emperor' card."
Pallez: "That's something the church should worry about, it has nothing to do with me."

Backlund, 15 Minsk Street.
Klein was stunned when he saw today's morning paper: Tarot cards? Why did Tarot cards appear at the scene of this murder case?
He touched his back, as if there was a huge scapegoat added.
According to the report in the newspaper: A major burglary occurred on Nikola Street last night. The brutal murderer killed several security personnel in the office building and robbed all the finances in the safe, reportedly including a large amount of gold and no less than 1,000 pounds in cash. It is worth mentioning that a Tarot card was found at the scene, which the police said may be a directional clue left by the murderer.
Klein's first thought was copycat crime, because Tarot cards were found at the scene of Lanevus's murder, so someone followed him to learn and shift...
He suddenly realized that this might be a supernatural case, not a burglary as the newspaper said.
Because the Lanevus case was a supernatural case, ordinary people simply do not know the inside story.
Unfortunately, the newspaper did not publish what card it was, otherwise that would be a clue.
Klein concluded that the murderer must be diverting the attention of the official Beyonders.
With this conclusion, he also divined that this matter would not bring danger to himself, and Klein breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would always have the illusion that his old secrets were being revealed.
...
Backlund, Empress Borough.
At Earl Hall's breakfast table, Audrey glanced at the newspaper next to her father's hand: "Dear Earl Hall~, what's new today?"
In fact, she had already seen the report. She was also shocked by the appearance of Tarot cards at the crime scene: Could this be another action related to the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool?
But why did this action kill so many innocent people? And rob those properties? What is the difference between this and a robber?
"A criminal gang's den has been destroyed, and a Tarot card was also found at the scene." Earl Hall had already obtained more detailed information from the Church of the Evernight Goddess.
But the fact that it was the den of a Beyonder family could not be discussed at the dining table at home.
In the eyes of official Beyonders, all unofficial Beyonders are criminals, and all unofficial Beyonder organizations are criminal gangs. Earl Hall's statement is not wrong.
Audrey's eyes lit up. She determined from the details of her father's expression that the case her father was talking about was the burglary case published in the newspaper: I knew it, Mr. Fool's believers would not be robbers!
She showed enough curiosity: "Criminal gang? Why leave Tarot cards? What card is it?"
Earl Hall casually said while drinking morning tea: "As far as I know, it's an 'Emperor' card."
The bacon on Audrey's fork almost reached her nose: Emperor card! Is it Hobert?
Fortunately, Audrey's control over her expression is now very superb, and she did not show too obvious shock.
She thought: Is it really Hobert? Isn't he in the Feynapotter Kingdom? Right, he has a magical item with "travel" ability, maybe he really came back! Goddess! Hasn't he betrayed the country? Why would he still eradicate criminal gangs in Backlund?
Hu~
Wait a minute, the Tarot Gathering is in the afternoon, I must ask clearly in person!
