In private detective.
"Sir, your commission is completed." A gentleman wearing a black tuxedo in front of private detective Henry looks at of Tobacco and Wine, wearing a half-height silk top hat and dark face mask, said relaxed, "This is really an easy task, it It's not difficult, but it took us too much energy, honestly speaking, I regret it very much, the price was too low before. "
No, no matter what you say, I wo n’t pay an extra penny! Klein emphasized in his heart, pointing to the thick stack of documents on the coffee table, "This is the investigation report?"
"Yes." Henry sighed while holding a survey report of at least sixty pages, "This is the most troublesome thing I have ever done ..."
Before his words fell, he saw Klein handing over four one-pound banknotes, so his attention shifted to discernment.
"This is the entire balance." Klein reached out and held the thick investigation report.
Henry coughed two channels:
"You are really an honest and trustworthy gentleman, hey, I did n’t expect the survey report to use so much paper at all, which is completely outside my budget."
At this moment, Klein picked up the very thick investigation report and stood up.
He bowed slightly and immediately raised his cane to the gate.
Henry detective's follow-up words were blocked in his throat.
Hey, how could I pay for the paper expenses of the investigation report? This is included in the overall commission fee! Klein touched the remaining 5 pounds of 8shilling private room money, murmured in his heart, and quickly walked to Besick Street.
He first looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him, and then left here swiftly, looking for an opportunity to take off his mask.
Klein did n’t plan to go home now, but was going to find a cafe nearby, and quickly sorted out the investigation report to find out the houses where tenants changed after his divination arrived at the "Red Chimney", and then took advantage of dinner The previous time troubleshooting section.
There are quite a lot of cafes in the neighborhood, but almost no one meets the requirements of Klein's-since steam and machinery have become a symbol of era, more and more cafes have reduced their style and become like cheap restaurants. Exist, providing busy workers with tea, coffee, bread, toast, and tender pea stewed lamb meat and other dishes, so decent gentlemen and ladies no longer go to the cafe to talk about things, no longer take this behavior as As a symbol of identity, various clubs began to appear, replacing the social functions of the original cafe.
After a long walk, Klein finally found a cafe with a good environment.
After sitting in the hidden corner deck, he took a sip of Nanville coffee, which only required three and a half pennies, and carefully opened the investigation report.
"... In Thengen City northern district, eastern district, western district, southern district, Golden Parasol District, dock district and university district, there are 1179 houses with dark red chimneys ... In the suburbs of Thengen City, there are 546 houses with red chimneys of the kind described by the employer ... This It does not include those towns and villages that belong to Thengen but are relatively far away. "
"The following is the address of each house and the corresponding landlord and tenant information. According to the employer's requirements, the situation in the last three months has been collected in more detail."
......
Klein scanned pages and pages, constantly using pens to make notes on the paper that he carried.
In the end, he found that after his divination reached the "Red Chimney", there were a total of twenty-five houses with tenant changes.
"Not too much. I ’ll try to finish the investigation within two days. Well, I have seen the red chimney in dreamland divination and seen the part of the house. As long as it encounters again in reality, it will inevitably produce familiarity on spirituality, In order to confirm the goal, in short, I am the human flesh finder ... "Klein silently nodded, according to the different locations of the house, planned the fifteen places to go today.
As for whether such an action is dangerous, he does not need divination to get the answer.
Since there has been a change of tenants, it means that secret mastermind, who has let his own destiny in disharmony and has always encountered a coincidence, has left!
I hope to know from the landlord ’s mouth what the former tenant looks like ... However, since the guy hiding behind the scenes can affect my destiny without knowing it, let the coincidence appear naturally, there will certainly be Ways to eliminate the traces of their own existence ... Hey, I can only pray for Goddess, so that the guy has some omissions ... Klein sighed, forcibly rejuvenated, put on the silk top hat, got the cane and the report, got up and walked out of the cafe.
Next, he spent 2shilling to hire a two-wheeled rented carriage and ran the fifteen houses with red chimneys before dinner. Unfortunately, it was not the one he saw in his dream.
"If tomorrow ’s investigation is still the result, things will be in trouble. He still lives in the red chimney house that I had divination ... This means that he has enough confidence and is not afraid of my investigation, even Not afraid of the arrest of the Thengen City Night Watcher team, or that he did not know that he was exposed, and later against me divination was a force that did not belong to him ... Klein stood at the door of 2 Narcissus Flower Street, analyzing one possibility after another.
After a few minutes, he patted some dust on the black tuxedo, pressed the half-height silk top hat above his head, pulled out the copper key, and opened the door with a smile on his face.
He plans to prepare braised lamb and honey barbecue for Benson and Melissa tonight.
…………
At eleven at night, the three brothers and sisters who said good night to each other entered their bedrooms.
Klein closed the door of the room and stood at the desk, looking at the light of the gas lamp and looking out the window of the belly. At this time, the neighborhood was dark. Only a few street lamps were guiding the direction, and the stars in the sky were inlaid in black. On the curtain, little by little, it is not clear.
"I do n’t know what the Beckland called‘ Land of Hope ’and‘ Capital of Myriad Capitals ’will look like ...” Klein whispered silently, reaching for the curtain and preparing to pull it.
Wū !
At this moment, a cold wind blew past without warning, and the light of the gas lamp suddenly became dark green.
Klein took a few steps back subconsciously, professionally instinctively tapping his left tooth twice, and at the same time, he slammed against the head of the bed, trying to take the pistol under the pillow.
In his sight, Huo Ran under the gas lamp and on the wall above the desk highlighted a face hole, no eyes, no nose, only a translucent face in his mouth!
"Don't shoot." The face said with his mouth closed.
Can you communicate? Klein has a gun in hand and aimed at the target.
"What do you want to do?" he asked in a deep voice.
The face chuckled softly:
"I am Daly."
Daly? "Spiritualist" Daly? "Spiritualist" Daly transferred to Beckland church? Klein puzzled and frowned:
"Miss Daly?"
"I know that such a visit is too rude, and I should inform you in advance to make you fully prepared, but now I am not convenient to meet you directly, I can only communicate with you through this little guy. Zhang translucent face with no eyes and nose laughed.
Although the voice is not correct and the voice is harsh, it is indeed Miss Daly's speaking style ... Spiritualist's ability is really cool ... Klein secretly sighed and asked without dropping the gun:
"Madam, what do you want to communicate with me?"
"If I were you, I would first seal the bedroom with spirituality, otherwise, your family will think you have a mental problem." The translucent strange face quipped, "Oh, you do n’t need to be so alert, I secretly returned to Thengen because of the letter from Dunn. You know, Night Watcher cannot leave his jurisdiction at will. "
"Letter of captain?" Klein did not approach the desk, but groped out "sacred night powder" from secret pocket inside the black trench coat on the coat rack.
"Dunn and I are both Extraordinarys from the Thengen City Night Watcher team, and the relationship between them has been very good. He sent me a letter last Thursday, yes, Thursday, mentioning your thing, Say you imitated the motto of Inquisitor of Secrets, summed up your own 'Divinator code' from the behavior of divination, and claimed that this effectively helped you master magical medicine, so that you should no longer hear the sound that should not be heard, and should not see the picture Dunn said, this is very much like me. "
“Oh, you really do n’t want to seal the room? I personally do n’t mind being misunderstood by your brother and sister.” The translucent face explained quickly and slowly.
It turns out that this is ... Miss Daly ... Klein relaxed, put "sacred night powder" back in the inner pocket, and then came to the desk a few steps, and took out the ceremonial silver knife from the drawer.
Build spirituality wall quickly, he turned and looked at the strange face that protruded from the wall:
"What did Miss Daly, captain still say in the letter?"
"He just expressed his doubts and felt what he grasped, but he couldn't clearly realize that he hoped to get my opinion." Daly said with the strange face without eyes and nose, "And I am this morning As soon as I read the letter, I knew that you were definitely not as ignorant as you said yourself, hehe, Mr. Moretti, I think you should have summarized acting method! "
"This is the purpose you came to find me?" Klein asked back with neither affirmation nor negative.
Daly has clearly known "acting method" ... he judged calmly in his heart.
Daly made the translucent face show a little smile expression:
"Yes."
"I think we should be honest with each other on this matter. I know that you have summarized acting method. You must also know that I have mastered acting method. Hey, it ’s unpleasant that I have used it for nearly two years before it is clear. I realized that it ’s only a month and a half since you became Extraordinary. "
After hearing the words of Daly, Klein considered for a moment, then smiled calmly and smiled:
"This is because you are my role model."
He wanted to say "I just stood on the shoulders of giants", but he finally decided not to give Mister Russell Great Emperor a chance to appear in his ears again.
