Klein saw Jurgen Cooper in an office of the Rice Police Branch. The young senior Solicitor is still very formally dressed, just as he is always ready to attend a high society dinner.
Double-breasted black long dress, white shirt with hard collar, big bow tie, and bright leather boots make the police very polite to him.
Jurgen is holding half-height silk top hat, and the blue pupils looks at Klein:
"The procedures are all done, you can leave by paying 10 pounds bail."
"Thank you." Klein didn't say much, followed Lawyer Jurgen, who looked good but had an old-fashioned feel, to the financial office of the police station next to him, took out his wallet, and drew two five-pound notes.
At this time, he was particularly fortunate that he had brought all his cash, £ 95, with him, otherwise he might have to borrow from his good neighbor Jurgen.
Of course, the most serious thing is that if the cash is left at home, after the police ’s on-site search, how much is left in the end, Klein is really not confident, but he ca n’t put it in above the grey mist, because he may have to get away with a bribe in the end .
At present, many newspapers and magazines have been slandering the police, thinking that they lack supervision, work rudely, embezzlement, often blackmail, fierce and vicious, Klein dare not believe it, but dare not believe it, after all, the money on Mersso is very likely It's cheaper for this police station.
After paying the bail, Klein followed Jurgen out of the police station and was shivered by the humid cold wind blowing on the face.
"After the case is closed, your bail will be refunded to you. Of course, you ca n’t expect them to take the initiative to notify you, um ... after a week, if no one comes to get you back to the police station, you can go to Here you can ask for bail. In theory, you can finally get the corresponding compensation from the other party ’s estate, if any. "Jurgen walked towards a carriage parked next to it.
The continuous rain in the day finally stopped at night, but scarlet moon was still covered by dark clouds, and the streets only had the light of gas street lamps.
"Okay." Klein almost thought the 10 pounds would come back.
He could n’t help but calculate the commission for Ian. The salary was 5 pounds, but the room was damaged a lot of furniture and tea sets. He had to buy a new one or find someone to fix it, plus the cost. It seems that the expenditure on materials, carriages and the cost of repairing the next clothes may be at a loss ...
If the 10 pound bail is not available, it will be a big loss! Hmm ... Mersso legacy's Extraordinary characteristics is worth a lot of money ... Klein boarded the carriage and frowned slightly.
He always thought that private detective, which uses his own residence as an office, would at most not be entrusted and would not lose money. As a result ...
Klein looked sideways at Lawyer Jurgen, who was seated, and said sincerely:
"Thank you, thank you for taking the initiative to bail me, how much should I pay you for this?"
Jurgen nodded officially:
"This order is free."
"I heard Sergeant Fasin say your thing, I believe we have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future ... Klein laughed and said:
"Lawyer Jurgen, I think you are cursing me."
Jurgen solemnly shook his head:
"No, not what you think it is. It is normal for private detective to have a fixed cooperation Lawyer."
Sir, you really do n’t have a sense of humor ... although you look very young ... Klein slandered a few words and smiled:
"I just wanted to find an Lawyer to help me prepare an investment contract."
"Investment contract?" Jurgen asked in a slightly stunned tone.
"I know this is not an amateur of private detective, but I happened to encounter a good investment opportunity." Klein simply explained, "Lawyer Jurgen, according to your charging standards, how much such a contract needs to pay."
"It is generally determined based on the total contract amount and the degree of difficulty." Jurgen replied rigorously.
"The total amount is 100 pounds, and the required terms are ..." Klein describes his needs in detail, including priority subscription and negative rights.
Jurgen thought hard for a few minutes and said:
"2 pounds, for you on Monday morning."
"Okay." Klein didn't say much about this matter, and instead asked about the case related tonight's case that Jurgen had heard about.
All the way back to Minsk Street, Klein took the initiative to pay the rented carriage fee of 3shilling, bid farewell to the young but serious Lawyer, and walked to his house.
Opening the door and entering, I saw a messy scene, and Klein was exhausted.
The beginning of his private detective turned out to be a loss.
Just when Klein took off his coat and buried himself to clean up the mess, the doorbell suddenly rang.
He opened the door in doubt and saw the maid Julien wearing a black and white skirt.
"Hello, Mr. Moriarty, Mr. Sammer and wife would like to invite you to talk about things before." Julien said with a little fear.
Here ... the issue of compensation ... Klein smiled and said:
"Okay."
He changed a good clean coat and followed the maid to the next door. Luke Sammer and his wife Starling Sammer were sitting on the sofa area of the living room and waiting.
The burly figure, Luke with two pretty mustaches stood up and stretched out his hands, laughing lowly:
"Good evening, Mr. Moriarty, I actually realized that you are private detective. As a neighbor, I am really unqualified."
"No, it's my own problem, because I don't know if I am suitable for this industry, maybe I will find another job when I go." Klein and male owner shook hands. Sorry, I will make compensation. "
"This is just an accident." Luke relieved.
blond hair blue eyes's beautiful and charming Starling asked curiously:
"You really killed an intruder? Oh, I know you want black tea, right?"
Klein nodded:
"Maybe just a thief."
He did n’t say that the matter came from the commission he accepted, lest the couple Sammer feel ill at heart.
Since the police did n’t tell them, I do n’t have to do anything more ... Klein silently added a sentence.
Luke Sammer laughed:
"You must have excellent fighting ability. As a neighbor, I feel very safe. Maybe we will entrust you with something in the future."
Klein laughed at herself half-truthly:
"Actually I was almost killed."
"No matter what, the ultimate winner is you." Luke said.
After a few words on this topic, Starling took a white porcelain inlaid gold tea cup and took a sip:
"I am curious, how many commissions can private detective have in a week and how much can it benefit?"
Klein did not hide, laughed:
"It depends on the situation, just like when there is a bumper harvest or a crop failure in the farmland, I earned 5 pounds 5shilling last week, but with the things of last night, maybe, there will be losses."
Starling did n’t seem to hear the last half of his sentence, and said to himself:
"If you can maintain this income, 5 pounds per week will allow you to have a pretty good life in Beckland and Chowod District. There is no need to rent a room. You can hire a maid to do chores and listen to concerts every other week. Or watch a drama opera, play tennis or squash once a week, attend a reading salon, go to a good restaurant ... Of course, if you are already preparing for marriage, you need to save a little, the weekly salary of 5 pounds is really Decent still worse. "
"How much weekly salary is really decent?" Klein asked in coordination.
"7 pounds, at least 7 pounds." Starling slightly raised his chin.
Klein turned to look at Luke, casually chatting and saying:
"I listen to your wife, you work in Kaum company, do not know what your main business is?"
"Anthracite and charcoal." Luke replied with a smile.
No wonder you can become a member of the Soot Emissions Reduction Association ... Klein muttered in a low voice: "In Beckland, what is the salary of the managerial level? I rarely see this in newspapers and magazines."
"haha, it depends on what industry and company, and the specific position. The annual salary of the first manager of Beckland Bank is 5,000 pounds, and when I count the bonus, it is only between 430 and 440 pounds." Luke casually said .
That's what the weekly salary is 8 pounds ... No wonder ... Klein hasn't had time to speak, Starling Sammer complained:
"Actually, we can live in the suburbs, then I will have a garden and a lawn, and Luke will also get a stable, buy a brand-new carriage and two young horses he has been thinking about for a long time, but this will let him Too much time is wasted during the commute to work, which is more precious. "
A new carriage with a horse is about 100 pounds ... The weekly salary of 8 pounds is really amazing, but unfortunately I did not take long after I increased my salary ... Klein can only smile.
A few more words of greeting, he said goodbye and left a secret sigh in his heart:
Mr. Sammer and his wife are still nice people in nature. They were changed to mean hosts. When something went wrong tonight, they would have to pay back the money and let me get out of it ...
After returning home, Klein started to work, not eager to go to above the grey mist to examine the warmth of the back of his hand, nor eager to do divination, because he was worried that the special military department was still staring at him secretly.
He decided to go to the bar described by Ian tomorrow night to buy guns to deal with attacks that some people may take dangerously.
Klein even intends to use this channel to hire bodyguards, Extraordinary bodyguards, and strong Extraordinary bodyguards. This is to take advantage of the opportunity not to expose themselves to the Extraordinary circle. Second, it is also afraid that the ambassador's follow-up attacker has the ability to hide from the military Special department.
Although a Extraordinary of Sequence Eight and a secret "vengeful evil spirit" need to find a bodyguard, it is a slightly funny thing, but for Klein, safety is the most important.
If the price is too expensive, I will blow copper whistle to find Mister Ards, of course, this may be more dangerous ... I do n’t know enough about sealed item "0-08" ... Klein muttered silently in the room.
…………
After the purification ceremony, the man wearing the white hard shell mask said to Quinn and Forsi:
"No matter what evil spirits, I have been expelled. Oh, if it reaches the level of evil spirits, so that I can not be expelled, then it will give a response just now, but it did not."
During speaking, he poured the water droplets condensed on the sun badge into a metal vial and handed it to Quinn:
"Go back and sprinkle in the room to eliminate all remnants."
"Thank you." Quinn paid distressedly, but also felt relieved.
As soon as she and Forsi returned to the living room, a note came from the waiter:
"Miss Arbiter who bought Officer formula, would you like to chat with me in the study? I may have what you need."
PS: Two more were delivered today, but no more at night.
