After Alan and Talim filled out the recommendation forms, they left Klag Club. Today is not a weekend. They still have two surgeries one afternoon. One has to teach the younger son of Viscount Conrad to equestrian, in order to meet the adult Beckland in the second half of the year. It will not be ashamed during the social season.
Klein looks at the red maid and the beautiful maid in the dress went back and forth several times, and finally waited for their own membership certificate and a badge engraved with the symbol of the **** frost constellation.
"The entrance fee is 50 pounds, there are three and a half months left this year, and the annual fee is 4 pounds." The maid wearing the red vest pushed those two things to in front of Klein.
Klein took out 57 pounds of cash given by Mary. Gael and counted 54 pounds for the other party.
The amount other than the dues and annual fee is the first remuneration given by Mary. She was very satisfied with Klein and quickly figured out who the mistress of Dracu Geyl was and took photos.
50 pounds dues ...... Madam Mary is really a generous lady! Klein looks at servant and maid verify the authenticity of the banknote, confirm the specific number, while thinking of introduction in private Starling Sammer:
Mary ’s father is the co-founder of Kaum, which occupies 20% of the shares. It was originally a small company, barely making a little money, but as the pollution of Beckland intensified, the demand for anthracite and charcoal More and more, Kaum quickly expanded and became the top ten companies in the industry in the capital area, and the net worth of Mary skyrocketed.
The only problem is that when she married Dracu Geyl, the company was still in the stage of notoriety. Her father did not care too much about the shares as a dowry, did not carry out "property gift protection", but adopted the current The more popular "will rebate" method.
The former refers to the existence of the dowry as an independent and separate property of the woman. The ownership does not belong to the man. Even the right of use depends on the woman ’s mood. The latter refers to the dowry belonging to the entire family, but the man must establish an effective 'S will promises to give priority to paying his wife's rights equal to two to four times the dowry when dividing his legacy's property before his partner's death, and then proceed according to the normal inheritance law, which can effectively guarantee the widow's life.
If Mary sues the divorce before obtaining evidence of Dracu ’s betrayal of marriage, the shares of Kaum will be divided equally by both parties.
Klein remembers that Starling said enviously:
"Only this share, the current value is close to 20.000 gold pound, plus some other properties, Mary is a really rich lady, once divorced, it will definitely become the target of many men of Beckland, including even a certain Some nobles. "
The money was only enough for Miss Justice to assassinate Beckley ambassador twice ... Klein suddenly thought of it, and saw the red vest male servant and the unscrupulous maid salute her:
"Mr. Moriarty, welcome to join Klag Club."
On hearing this sentence, Klein picked up the membership certificate and the hoarfrost badge in front of him.
The former is made of hard paper with good elasticity, like a card with the name Klein's and the date of membership.
After pressing the mark of the index finger, this membership certificate is officially ready for use.
The latter is a unique emblem of Klag Club. It is named after its establishment in early November. It corresponds to the hoarfrost constellation. On the front is the symbol and the number "192", followed by the inscription "Sherlock Moriarty.
"The club now has 192 members?" Klein asked casually.
"Yes, our club does not accept people without recommendations." The red vest male servant smiled introduction. "There is a cafeteria, bar, library, squash court, conference hall, card room on the first floor, you can. Free to use, food and drinks can also be tasted for free. second floor has 16 rest rooms and two small conference halls, which are also free, as long as you have free space to use. "
A good-looking maid pointed to the rear:
"There are two tennis courts on the lawn, which are completely free, and there are two shooting ranges underground, you only need to pay according to the price of equipment rental."
"If you are not satisfied with the simple buffet, you can order your own meals. We have an exclusive chef, you only pay for the materials."
Eat, eat, play ... It ’s a high-end club ... Klein heartily thanked Mrs. Mary.
He smiled gently:
"You send someone to lead me around, get acquainted with the environment, and then give me a nap in room rest."
"Okay." The man in the red vest made a gesture of asking.
After being familiar with the environment of Klag Club, Klein entered the rest room, carefully studied the layout here, and found that it was close to the hotel rooms of later generations, which are said to be Intis style.
You have to consider how to get the Dracu extramarital affairs evidence tomorrow. The flash of the camera ca n’t be concealed ... In other words, there is only one photo opportunity ... And if you do this, you will definitely be expelled from the club ... You have to consider a safe way ... Wait till you turn over the newspaper, and try to judge the progress of the Ian incident from the news, so as to determine which three days to protect ... Klein paces back and forth, thinking.
At this moment, he suddenly palpitated and the whole person became tense.
This is a premonition of Clown? But there is nothing in my mind ... Klein only feels that the surrounding air has become condensed, and a storm is brewing.
Soon, this feeling disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Is could it be that in danger coming? However, when I was attacked by Mersso before, there was no similar situation ... Klein took out a coin and wondered whether divination himself would be attacked in recent days.
The answer is no.
After thinking for a few seconds, Klein pulled up the curtains, pretended to be a nap, and went back four steps to enter above the grey mist.
He sat down, considered for a long time, and murmured quietly:
"I will be in great danger in recent days."
......
During repeated recitations, he popped the coin again, and saw that the brass-colored thing rolled down and fell to his open palm.
This time, the king's head is facing up!
This is for sure!
My reaction just now was a sign of the imminent danger ... Klein narrowed his eyes and leaned back against the back of the chair.
He is quite puzzled about this matter.
No matter Divinator or Clown, they have never shown a similar ability before, even if they can predict the danger, it is because the target is in front of them, just beside them!
There is no one near me ... Judging from my divination results being disturbed and misleading, this matter must involve a higher sequencer, most likely an assistant of Beckley ... As a result, it inspired my prediction ? This is unscientific, uh, this is not mysticism ... there must be some other factors hidden in it, but I ca n’t figure it out yet ... Klein looks around, and I see grey mist boundless, crimson and quiet, the palace standing like an ancient .
He settled his doubts and stopped thinking about why for now, focusing his attention on the upcoming attack
After divination several times, Klein found that he can only confirm that there is a great danger in the last few days, which cannot be shortened to three days, two days, or five hours.
That is to say, he can only get more vague enlightenment.
In dreamland divination, he saw Ian, Ian in an old coat. He stood on the street, with elegant gas street lights and vague scarlet moon behind him.
Nothing but this picture.
"How should this be interpreted?" Klein thought for a while and could only think of it as a dangerous prelude.
He did not delay anymore, immediately returned to the real world, left Klag Club, and rushed to the nearby Beckland bank Hillston District branch to take out the remaining 100gold pound in the account-the 1,000 pounds given by Justice have not been cleared and reconciled, the corresponding The information has not been sent, and the account conditions have not been synchronized. In theory, there is a loophole, that is, Klein can fetch 100 pounds, then change the branch and then fetch it, and catch the time difference of the account not being synchronized.
But this is only theory. In order to avoid similar behaviors, banks have a lot of regulations on bearer accounts. One is to strengthen the transmission of similar messages between cities, and the other is to limit the amount of single withdrawals. 500 pounds, the third is that the last withdrawal record is not local, you must take a telegram to ask, Klein encountered a third situation today.
Accounting for the banknotes, he took a carriage to the Beckland bridge district domain and entered Hero Bar.
Under the guidance of Kaspars, he saw Maric sitting in the card room. The opponent was still empty and there was no Living Corpse.
Klein put away the idea of wrapping Ards copper whistle with spirituality, photographed the 100 pound banknote on the table, and said to pale Maric:
"I agree to the transaction."
"I will pay £ 100 in advance, and every day I will protect me, I will pay another £ 300."
"Protection starts now!"
Maric ’s eyes crossed him, looked behind him, and nodded slightly:
"Okay, she agreed."
Ah? Klein looked back in amazement, only saw the door panel, saw the air.
He opened spirit vision quietly, but still found nothing.
Maric put the 100 pounds in his pocket and said indifferently:
"You can go back, she has started protecting you in a concealed way."
If I have n’t passed divination in advance, I definitely think you are a liar ... Klein looks around and makes the appearance of clenching and leaving.
Along the way, he sometimes opened spirit vision and sometimes closed spirit vision, constantly observing outside the car window, but still couldn't find his so-called bodyguard.
Back to 15 Minsk Street, Klein closed the door, entered the bathroom, unscrewed the faucet, and washed hands.
The clatter of his voice disappeared. He dropped the water drops, wiped his palms with a towel, and looked up at the wash mirror to examine how he was now.
At this moment, he saw himself suddenly swaying in the mirror and changed into a woman wearing a black palace dress.
The woman's hair is light blonde, pupils is blue, her appearance is very delicate, but her face is extremely pale.
She wore a small black soft hat, lifted the skirt, slightly owed her body, and saluted Klein.
This ... Klein didn't hide his surprise, and deliberately took a few steps backwards, against the wall.
He has just woken up just now. This may be the bodyguard he hired for 1,000 pounds.
The picture in the mirror quickly dimmed, Klein saw himself again, and everything returned to normal.
