The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 384
c374 meeting place
The meeting place of the Unsolved Mysteries Society is in the back kitchen of a French restaurant, which should be the most upscale restaurant in the entire town.
After Xunrel Jezebeth expressed her sincerity, Xing Ze accepted the invitation. After all, if you want to get more information, you can only ask the president of the association here.
Yes, the Unsolved Mysteries Society has branches all over the world. Its headquarters is located in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. It was founded in the 15th century by some local church monks. After gradually growing, it was established in Belfast. The association was formally established in the Grand Cathedral and used the church as its headquarters.
Another thing that moved Xing Ze was that the association had stopped a cult ritual in Digel Village seventy years ago and accepted an investigation organization established by the leaders who destroyed the ritual at that time.
Of course, the association has many other heroic deeds, but none of them have much appeal to Xing Ze. Only this incident aroused his strong interest.
Because according to Mendez’s words in the dream, the cult ritual seventy years ago was destroyed by a group of time-traveling investigators led by a messenger like him. And after the incident, the courier also established an investigator organization, but unexpectedly the organization was recruited by the association.
For Xunrel Jezebeth, these deeds are just chips used to convince Xing Ze that the Unsolved Mysteries Association has no malicious intentions. But for Xing Ze, understanding the past of his predecessors can help him better understand what all this is like.
Perhaps, the information and clues left by the messenger at the association headquarters can help him find a way to return to his own earth.
As for what Xunlaier Jezebeth is planning, Xing Ze has no idea. He still can’t completely trust this woman. No matter how good a bargaining chip she gives, it is a fatal temptation in Xing Ze’s eyes. .
On the way here, Jezebeth and Xing Ze chatted about the investigators, and she was assigned to deal with the mess left by those investigators.
Kent was still not found, and the injured Lanny and Mike were sent to the hospital. After their condition stabilized, they planned to withdraw from the mission, and Selina took the initiative to stay and look after the two of them.
Yuri had no intention of giving up the mission or continuing. He followed the police to investigate Emberhead Village. They found Kelly’s body in the woods near the village. The poor girl seemed to have been attacked by a wild beast and was torn into pieces.
It was common for investigators to die. Jezebeth didn’t even frown when she said these things. She seemed quite calm, as if those people were just tools.
When they walked into the kitchen, there was a chef busy. Jezebeth introduced him as the chef here. The restaurant was not open yet, so there was no one there.
The chef simply greeted them and then went to work on his fried steak. Xing Ze followed Jezebeth to the head chef’s office. A small table was set up inside, and three people sat around the table, enjoying red wine and appetizers. Xing Ze quickly looked at the three people.
The one sitting in the middle was the oldest, looking to be in his fifties. His hair was neatly styled, and his chin was equally clean and tidy. He was also observing Xing Ze, and there was no sign of him after the two looked at each other. Deliberately dodge.
The man sitting on the left is the youngest, probably only in his thirties. He would look younger if he shaved off the beard on his lips. He also looked at Xing Ze with interest, but his gaze did not stay for long and soon moved to Jezebeth.
The last person was a fat man with a strong appearance. He seemed not very interested in external affairs. He just immersed himself in eating vegetables and didn’t even bother to say hello.
“Sit down, guest.” The elder motioned for Xing Ze to take a seat and nodded to Jezebeth, who wisely exited the room.
Xing Ze was not polite. He pulled out the chair and sat on it generously, keeping his eyes on the fat man who was devouring the food.
“Marco, can’t you stop for a moment?” the older man complained to the fat man angrily.
The fat man reluctantly stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth stained with sauce with a napkin and said: “It’s not easy to come here to have a meal, Todd. What’s more, the chef himself cooks it. I don’t want to do it at all.” I’m good at chatting. Just talk. If we can’t reach an agreement, I’ll take action.”
“Hell, you idiot, we’re not here to fight.” Todd sighed heavily. He looked at Xing Ze, smiled and said, “We are very happy to meet you, Mr. Xing Ze. Jezebeth has said a lot about you.”
These are ordinary polite words, Xing Ze thought to himself. Who knows how much they knew about him, but at least it wasn’t too much, otherwise, the fat man wouldn’t have said that.
“Forget the small talk, let’s talk business.” Xing Ze interrupted, “You want me to find Thomas?”
At this time, there was a knocking sound at the door, and Jezebeth came in with tea. She placed a cup of strong green tea in front of Xing Ze.
“Tea from the East,” she introduced, “without sugar or milk.”
Xing Ze nodded at her, and Jezebeth quickly walked out of the room without saying anything more. After she left, the young man who had been silent all this time joked: “You are really lucky, sir. You can have Jezebeth personally serve you tea and water. I have been in the association for almost eight years, and she is just Give me some smiles.”
“I don’t think this is a lucky thing.” Xing Ze picked up the cup and blew away the tea leaves floating on it. “To be courteous for nothing is to commit adultery or to steal.”
The young man just smiled coldly, as if he took Xing Ze’s words as a kind of boasting. He took a sip of the wine glass and stopped talking.
Todd understood that what Xing Ze had just said was not only to Jezebeth, but also to them. He coughed lightly and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.
“The dishes here are very good, Mr. Xing Ze, you might as well try them.
“It’s a pity that I just ate.” The young wizard shook his head, “So, Thomas. What happened to him? How much do you know?”
Seeing Xing Ze like this, Todd no longer continued to be polite. He replied directly: “There is not much information, but we sent several people to the old house, and there are no useful clues. So we can only determine that he is missing, but there are bad things in that house. We know this.”
“How do you know that there are bad things?”
“Marco, tell me.”
The fat man took the glass of lemonade and took a big sip and said: “The people sent back said that they were attacked by something, but they didn’t see what it was, and the camera didn’t catch anything. ”
“Is there a possibility of lying?”
Xing Ze’s question made the fat man frown. He raised his fat hand and waved, “Impossible, they are all senior members, it is impossible for them to lie.”
Hearing this, Xing Ze had a rough idea in his mind. He drank a sip of tea and asked, “Speaking of which, I don’t even know who you are? How about getting to know each other?”
