"Have you ever seen a teenage boy? Wearing an old coat!" one of the few men who rushed into the carriage, said looks at flight attendants viciously.

Klein uses the afterglow of his eyes to see the other person's thin and strong skin. His skin tone is black as if he has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and his eye sockets are much sunken than the normal Ruen Kingdom people.

Highlanders? Or mixed race? He thoughtfully nodded.

In the middle of northern continent, at the beginning of Honages Mountain Range, it is a plateau with a dry climate. Most of it belongs to Kingdom of Fenpot, and it is westward to Republic of Intis. Near the east, it is occupied by Ruen Kingdom. Indigenous people are thin, savage, but brave and brave. For a long time in the past It is one of the most troublesome problems in the three countries, but with the improvement of gunpowder weapons and changes in the form of war, these plateau people finally realized the reality and succumbed completely.

A large part of them left the plateau, entered Beckland, entered Trier, entered Fenpot city, entered various bustling cities and ports of northern continent, some became workers, some became fresh blood of local gangs, dare to fight and kill , Not afraid of big things.

The flight attendant is a man in his twenties. hearing this shrank, pointing in the direction of the third-class carriage:

"I saw ... he went there."

The leader in a black coat and half-height top hat nodded slightly and led a few associates. deng deng deng rushed to the third-class carriage without taking into account the eyes of the surrounding passengers.

If I were that boy, I must have gotten off the third-class car at this time ... Klein thought while diverging his thoughts while reading the looks at newspaper.

More than a minute later, the "wū" whistle sounded, and the car doors closed slowly.

kuāng dāng kuāng dāng, the steam subway started to run from slow to fast, but at this time, Klein suddenly touched and looked up to the door leading to the other second-class cars.

The 15-16 boy who wore an old coat, a dome hat and a worn shabby bag walked slowly into the carriage.

His face was green, his facial features were beautiful, and his bright red eyes were condensed and serious.

"... Awesome, this is when you got off the third-class car and came up in the first-class car in a circle? I'm afraid the chaser and his associates are waiting in the subway station?" Klein was slightly surprised, only The big boy in front of him is quite mature and cautious in handling things, much better than many people in his twenties.

Tapping the left tooth gently, he quietly opened spirit vision and glanced at the big boy, only to see that his body was in a state of exhaustion, his emotions were tense and low, but he still maintained a calm blue thinking.

It ’s not simple ... from an age perspective ... Klein muttered silently and continued to look down at his newspaper.

The big boy did n’t realize that he had been examined by Extraordinary and went to the third-class carriage again,

The following journey was stable and calm. Klein arrived at one of the three subway stations Chowod District more than twenty minutes later.

He sat on rented carriage for another ten minutes, and finally found Minsk Street. As described in the newspaper, he came to No. 17 next to No. 15 and rang the doorbell.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

With the reverberation of the bell in the house, a mechanical bird with a shape that is not good-looking appeared on the door. It had the size of a slap and was composed of gears and other parts.

A very good toy, but the workmanship is rough ... Klein gave a fair comment.

Ten seconds later, the dark door was opened, and a young woman wearing a black and white maid skirt looked at Klein with caution:

"What do you have in mind?"

Klein smiled and raised the newspaper wrapped in the head of a walking stick:

"I'm here to find a Mrs. Sammer rental house. Shouldn't I rent it out yet?"

The full name given in the newspaper is Starling Sammer.

"No. Wait a minute." The maid bent politely.

She hurried in, informed the hostess, after a while, came out again, led Klein into the house, and helped him put his cane and suitcase in the hall, hanging the coat and top hat in the same place on the coat rack on.

The warm air wave hit us head-on, dispelling the coldness brought by Klein. He glanced at it, first saw the unique structure of the fireplace, saw the pieces of red inside, and saw the burning smokeless charcoal.

The living room of the Sammer family is quite large, almost equal to the entire floor of Moretti family, and some places are also decorated with decorative carpets and landscape oil paintings.

The maid came to the sofa area with Klein and said to the hostess wearing a light yellow dress:

"Mrs., guests are here."

The hostess is about 30 years old, blond hair blue eyes. She is beautiful and well-maintained. She holds a court feather fan set with silver in her hand.

Because she was in her own home, because the fireplace created a warm environment, she did not wear high-necked clothes, her chest was white and greasy, and her neck was slender and smooth.

"Hello, Mrs. Sammer." Klein pressed his chest with his hand and saluted.

Mrs. Sammer with a reserved smile:

"Good evening, please sit down. Would you like coffee or black tea?"

Klein sat on the couch and answered frankly:

"Black tea, thank you."

"Julien, Marquis Black Tea." Mrs. Sammer commanded the maid, and pupils turned slightly, "What do I call you?"

"Sherlock Moriarty, you can call me Sherlock directly." Klein had already thought of the pseudonym.

At this time, he smelled the scent from the kitchen location and saw the complicated pipes there.

"Oh, this is my husband ’s design. Although his job is as a manager of Kaum, he is an amateur and a mechanical enthusiast. He is also a member of the Kingdom Soot Reduction Association." Mrs. Sammer noted Klein's ’s eyes , With a smile, explained.

Mrs., I do n’t need introduction to be so detailed. I ’m not here to date your husband ... Klein said a spit, and he smiled unrelentingly:

"Mrs. I want to rent the house No. 15."

Mrs. Sammer back stands upright and smiles gracefully in a sitting position:

"Then I must remind you in advance that there is no such piping in the house on the 15th, such an easy chair, no table, no sideboard with mahogany base, no good ceramic dinner plate , No silver knife and fork, no gold-plated tea set, no removable carpet ... "

She pointed to the things in her house and did the same as introduction, adding at the end:

"It originally belonged to my sister and brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law ’s business failed and I could only move to southern continent. They still have a plantation in Balam, but I do n’t agree with their choice. It ’s not fair to be with your niece. There is no good grammar school or even a good tutor there. "

Mrs. This is not what I want to know ... Klein nods sincerely:

"Except for the weather, southern continent has no place comparable to Beckland."

His rapport made Mrs. Sammer very satisfied, pupils turned lightly:

"The house has a three-year lease, I hope you can pay one year ’s rent at a time, 18shilling per week, furniture use fee 1shilling, I can only receive a little deposit, a total of 50 pounds."

Klein shook his head and smiled:

"Mrs. Sammer, you should be able to see that I just arrived in Beckland, I do n’t know what will happen next. Paying 50 pounds at a time will reduce my ability to resist risks. My limit is half a year, 25 pounds. . "

He also plans to rent another room in Beckland eastern district for changing clothes, disguising, and getting rid of tracking-this is an essential preparation for those things he intends to do.

Starling Sammer nodded slightly and asked instead:

"Have you ever attended a grammar school?"

Klein chuckled:

"Yes, I later learned history by myself."

"Do you have identification?" Starling asked casually.

"I'm sorry, I was so rushed away from home, I forgot to bring, huh, huh, I just forgot introduction, I come from Midsea County." Klein deliberately used the usual accent of classmate Welch.

As soon as he said the word "forget", he remembered captain Dunn Smith, and the smile on his face grew brighter.

At this time, the maid Julien came with a cup of black tea. The cup was glazed with white glaze, the pattern was classical, and some parts were plated with gold.

Klein took a sip, only to feel the fragrance is long, the sweet and sour is moderate, obviously much better than the Sibe black tea I usually drink.

"Very pure black marquis tea." He praised it with a description that was correct.

Mrs. Starling Sammer's mouth is slightly warped:

"Then rent for half a year, 25 pounds."

Klein thanked me and chatted with each other for a few minutes until another maid found the standard contract from the study.

After signing their names, Klein painfully counted out 25 pounds of cash and pushed it to Mrs. Sammer.

Starling unfolded silently, and immediately lifted his chin slightly:

"Mr. Moriarty, should you be looking for a job at Beckland?"

"Yes." Klein replied a little dazedly.

Starling mouth corner slightly hooked:

"Then I can give you some suggestions. It is difficult to live in Chowod District with a weekly salary of less than 3 pounds. Your rent, food expenses, water and gas charcoal costs, transportation costs, etc. must be at least 2 pounds 5shilling, Believe me, this is Beckland, and the rest has to consider new clothes and good tableware and tea sets ... A weekly salary of 3 pounds is a very bare bottom line. "

"If the weekly salary can reach 5 pounds, you can hire a maid, 6 pounds to consider hiring a chef, 7 pounds plus a male servant, 8 pounds can hire an additional maid ..."

Mrs. Sammer, I think you are showing off ... I used to pay 10 pounds a week ... Klein kept a smile and listened carefully.

At this moment, the door opened suddenly, and a burly man came in. He was wearing a long black double-breasted gown, wearing leather gloves of the same color, and had two beautiful moustache on his lips.

"Luke, this is Mr. Moriarty, he is now our neighbor." Starling Sammer greeted him, introduction said.

It is obvious that male owner ’s Luke took off his coat and handed it to the servant who followed, smiling politely:

"Mr. Moriarty, would you like to accept the invitation to dinner?"

This is what the manager of the Kaum company, a member of the Ruen Kingdom Soot Reduction Association ... Klein smiled:

"Sorry, Mr. Sammer, I have eaten on the steam train, although the taste is impressive."

After a few words of greeting, Klein, led by the maid Julien, left the Sammer house and entered the 15th next door.

The layout here is very similar to the next door. There is a large living room on the first floor, a dining room with good lighting, two guest rooms, a bathroom, a basement, a kitchen that extends out, second floor has four bedrooms, one Living room, a sun room, a study room, two washrooms, and a large balcony.

"My wife said, you can rent out the parts, but you can't give them to the workers, or let it be too noisy and crowded here, um ... clean quilts and sheets, pillowcases, I will get them later." Maid Julien explained One sentence returned to Sammer's house.

After some tidying up, Klein finally settled in Beckland.

He was sitting in an empty living room and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, so he forced himself to think about what to do next.

No matter whether he wants it or not, revenge and promotion are not things that can be done in a blink of an eye, so he must have a job that can earn money to avoid the financial crisis.

However, work cannot restrain him and affect his actions and arrangements, that is to say, he must have enough freedom.

After careful consideration and excluding unsuitable occupations, Klein has only three options left:

One is to copy the novel and become Author, but his identity is sensitive, and the higher the popularity, the more deadly he can only bear to give up.

The second is to be a journalist. This is a fairly decent job in the contemporary era. The application requires documents such as academic certificates. Klein can only express frustration.

In the end, he chose a third career:

private detective!

This is also his intention to get the pseudonym.
