The road made of cement was dirty due to long rain and rain. The gas street lights of adult men tall on both sides exuded a bright but dim light due to the wetness of the glass cover.
A rented carriage is driving at night, and the pedestrians around it are wearing hats or umbrellas.
Klein leans against the side wall and enjoys the Beckland street at night.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the temperature inside the car had dropped a lot, and the cold wind was hovering.
Klein suddenly turned his head and saw the lady bodyguard wearing a black Gothic palace dress who was sitting opposite the other side somehow.
She said in a phantom voice and erratic:
"That Eye of Wisdom is aware of my existence."
Sure enough ... Klein did not accidentally nodded: "He has several pieces of magical item, perhaps it was only because of these things that I noticed, I even suspect that there is an organization behind him."
Otherwise, relying on the power of Eye of Wisdom alone, even after spending more than 30 years, it is unlikely to collect several relatively powerful magical items. Previously Vice Admiral Hurricane Klingus, as one of seven great pirate admirals, there is only one Hunger's Squirming, of course The latter is more likely to be high-sighted than the general magical item. After all, Hunger's Squirming can be comprehensive without any weaknesses.
Well, Eye of Wisdom itself is very rich and reasonable explanation. After organizing so many gatherings and finding the right magical item, it will be won at any cost. Over the past 30 years, there are several collectibles that are not too incredible. ... Hey, this is the rhythm of having a mine at home, or opening a bank ... Klein said in his heart.
He did not specifically mention that he actually guessed that Eye of Wisdom was God of Steam and Mechanics church, or God of Knowledge and Wisdom church's, and he was afraid that the fact that he had just become Extraordinary would not be revealed in front of Miss Bodyguard.
The bodyguard lady with light blonde hair nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with the Klein's suspicion.
Suddenly, her brow furrowed slightly, looking towards the window of the car opposite:
"Very **** smell."
A strong **** smell ... Klein looked back doubtfully and looked out the window.
In the sparse thin rain, there is a secluded alley.
Near the alley, a woman in a gorgeous gown was inverted.
At this time, a pedestrian passed by, glanced at it carefully, and suddenly screamed.
In the scream, the horse was a little frightened, the driver quickly tightened the reins, and the speed of the carriage slowed down.
In the light of the gas street lamp, Klein saw the woman who was lying on the ground in the alleyway with a pale complexion and a deep opening in her abdomen. The internal organs seemed to have been emptied.
The blood on the ground around her is slowly flowing, red and rich.
This ... As a qualified former Night Watcher, he quickly reminisced about many similar cases of committing crimes.
These cases are often related to Devil worship!
When it comes to Devil worship, it is difficult to bypass an ancient organization, which first appeared in "Blood Worshiping Cult" of fourth era!
According to the data, this is a loose alliance formed by worshipping Devil. There are several so-called Devil families, such as North, Andrerad and Beria families, which are not affiliated with each other.
They persisted in spreading the Devil faith widely and created many **** cases. The accountant Mrs. Oriana of the Thengen City Night Watcher team was one of the victims, but was lucky to be rescued.
Of course, not all similar cases are done by them. Many people think that these things are cool and start to imitate crimes.
"Much like Blood Worshiping Cult did." Miss Bodyguard whispered, her figure quickly and transparently disappeared, and she didn't care if Klein didn't understand it, and didn't understand it.
At this time, the carriage had already crossed the scene of the crime, Klein also found that a patrolling police came, so he stopped the idea of getting off the car and observed that he was an ordinary citizen passing by.
Well, Mr. Citizen Moriarty ...
Blood Worshiping Cult holds the "criminal" path, also known as Devil path. It is said that after Sequence Seven, the corresponding Extraordinary will gradually become Devil, but only on specific occasions under specific circumstances ...
Sequence Nine, "criminal", has a strong body, keen instincts and various criminal abilities, but the conscience has not been wiped out ... Sequence Eight, anciently known as 'Cold Blooded', modern name is "Broken-winged Angel", meaning loss of conscience and evil If you want to go together, your body is more inhuman, and you can get some Devil spell-like abilities ... Sequence Seven, 'Serial Killer', mastered many knowledge and rituals of worship Devil, like to use special serial murder to please Devil ......
Following sequence, I do n’t know what it is ...
About Blood Worshiping Cult, knowledge about Devil path flashed in Klein's mind one by one. The drizzle outside seemed to be a little bit bigger. The rainwater on the windows gathered and fell, and the whole world became quiet and unclear.
"I want to do so much, this kind of thing will definitely be taken over by the Extraordinary team, maybe Justice Enforcer, maybe Night Watcher, don't need me to worry." Klein shook his head and grunted in his heart.
When he returned to 15 Minsk Street, he had left the case just now, and first knocked at the door of Sammer ’s house next door. Please ask Mrs. Starling to tell Mary, let her come to take evidence tomorrow afternoon, and then read the newspaper to understand The current situation and various news of Beckland.
The next day, on Saturday morning, Klein spent breakfast slowly, went out and took the photos that had just been washed out, and selected one that could best see Dracu Geyl and Erica Taylor face, which best reflected their enthusiasm.
Putting the photos in place, he grabbed the wife of Mary and went to the Rice Police branch, and successfully returned the £ 10 bail.
During this process, he still saw the real Fasin sheriff there, quite uncomfortable.
After taking out the remaining 500 pounds of cash in the account, Klein, who had been busy for a whole morning, finally had nothing to do.
Before preparing lunch, he gave the remaining 600 pounds to Miss Bodyguard in one go. He had a total of 146 pounds 8shilling5 pence left in his body, which was all the property he could use.
Except for Miss Justice, there is no debt ... Klein relaxedly fried a bone-in steak and poured it with black pepper sauce.
Just as he was in a good mood to taste the taste of the half-cooked taste, the doorbell was suddenly rang, and the sound of ding dong echoed continuously.
"Mrs. Mary? Is it too early?" Klein put down the knife and fork in doubt and walked to the door.
He paused for two seconds, and the image of the visitor appeared naturally in his mind.
It was an old-school gentleman wearing a light gray coat, half-height silk top hat, and a black gold cane. He has sharp blue eyes, the temples are stained with white, and the decree is deeply engraved on face To make the muscles appear sagging.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Klein opened the door and asked.
The old-school gentleman used a heavy Sea of Division east coast accent:
"Are you Sherlock Moriarty detective?"
"You have something to entrust?" Klein nodded, let go of the way and led the old gentleman to the living room.
He hesitated for two seconds and asked aloud:
"Do you want coffee or black tea?"
"A cup of hot water, thank you." The old-school gentleman had taken off his hat and sat down.
Very good, it's very simple ... Maybe I have to ask an assistant to add tea and pour water, clean the room ... Klein thought divergently, turned his head to the kitchen to rinse a cup.
After placing the hot water in front of the old gentleman, he walked to the single sofa and sat down with his hands folded:
"What should I call you?"
"Mill. Carter." The old gentleman replied succinctly.
"Mr. Carter, what do you want to entrust?" Klein asked directly without greeting.
While speaking, he quietly opened spirit vision and observed the opposite.
The old gentleman ’s body is still healthy, and the color of the energy field of the left leg joint is a little problem, probably arthritis ... the mood is mainly composed of calm thinking blue, with a bit of anxiety ... Klein just glanced so , Has roughly reached a conclusion.
Mill. Carter picked up a white porcelain cup and rubbed the outer pavement:
"The thing is, I bought a house in Williams Street. Oh, I come from Midsea County. Because of business, I will settle in Beckland in the future."
Williams Street ... Where? Less than a month after Beckland, he went out either to check the map or rely on the intuitive Klein to make himself behave calmly and reliably.
Mill. Carter glanced at him, and under his eyes, he continued:
"The house was said to be originally a bankrupt Viscount. This was probably about 20 or 30 years ago. After several handovers, I finally bought it."
“I ’m going to make some modern-style renovations. I found a hidden dark door in the basement leading to a large underground building. I considered that it might be unsafe and temporarily stopped the construction to prevent workers and The servants havetily explored, and I hope you can help confirm the condition inside that underground building. "
Underground buildings ... ancient ruins? Secret treasure? Klein thought for a while:
"Why do n’t you call the police?"
"The resources that the police can mobilize are dozens of times more than my private detective. The exploration effect will definitely be better and more guaranteed."
Mill. Carter rubbed the position between his eyes:
"I do n’t want too many people to know about this, especially government departments."
"If it is confirmed that there is no danger inside the underground building, I plan to use it as part of the whole house and re-plan the use."
"I know that this has a higher risk for you. I ’m willing to pay 50 pounds for this, but you ca n’t find more than three assistants. Afterwards, according to the specific experience, I can also make certain Compensation. "
50 pounds, the price is very high ... If I am an ordinary detective, this is equivalent to my income for two or three months ... He first arrived in Beckland, he did not know other detective, he could only read newspaper People, so I found me ... Klein weighed for a few seconds and said:
"I think about it."
He suddenly smiled apologetically and pointed to the back: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Mill. Carter nodded slightly, drinking hot water.
Entering the bathroom, closing the wooden door, Klein looked at the bathroom mirror and took out a 1/2 penny copper coin.
Because there is a Miss Bodyguard, he ca n’t go to above the grey mist to confirm that he has to rely solely on his divination level.
"I should take this order."
......
Klein meditated seven times, and a copper coin popped up, pupils turned deep looks at and it rolled down.
Pap!
The copper coin fell in the palm of his hand, and the king's head looked up, affirming.
Klein slightly nodded and whispered into the air:
"What about your intuition?"
The figure of Miss Bodyguard quickly appeared in the mirror, and she still answered with no expression:
"There is a certain danger, but it is not big."
Good ... Klein put away the coins, washed his hands, turned around and walked out of the bathroom into the living room.
He looked at Mill. Carter and smiled:
"I accept this commission."
