Boom! boom! boom!
Klein held the left wheel rented from Klag Club in one hand, continuously pulled the trigger, and hit the target accurately, the worst was also above eight rings.
After feeding a lot of bullets, plus the ability to control the body beyond ordinary people after becoming Clown, his marksmanship is quite good.
Continuing to practice for a few months, I can be called a sharpshooter ... Klein opened the runner with satisfaction, shook the cartridge case, looked sideways to Talim Dumont in the sound of ding dong landing, and asked with a smile:
"Are you still satisfied?"
"Very good." The equestrian teacher Talim has taken off the black woolen coat and light gray sweater and put on a boxing stance. "Come on, let me know your fighting level. I can tell you frankly. , I have been trained as a trainee knight since I was a kid, and I have n’t been deserted since. "
As an Extraordinary, if you ca n’t even beat an ordinary man who has only been trained, then I wo n’t be conducting oneself! Klein vomited a sentence, did not take off the double-breasted long dress, put the left wheel, walked two steps sideways, made a startable gesture to Talim.
He wanted to tickle his fingers and show a bit of atmosphere, but when he thought about the strength of the other party, he was too lazy to waste his energy.
Talim was a little excited about this. He jumped a few times in place, hurried forward, and made a swing on the right side.
Klein grabbed his left hand in one block, turned his back shortly, and protruded right palm, and came back smoothly.
plop, Talim flew out and landed on the back-Klein did not exert force in the end, just throwing the other party away from the body with inertia.
"Great!" Talim stood up quickly and gave a thumbs down. "It's a well-known great detective. Your marksmanship and fighting are excellent."
It's just defeating you as a weak chicken. Where do you see my fighting skills are high? Klein slandered and asked with a smile:
"Now that you understand it, can you tell me what your friends want to do?"
"Oh, he will come to the club when he waits. You can chat on your own." Talim rubbed his back with his backhand. "I don't know the specific entrustment. By the way, he is a reporter. Mike Joseph is a news reporter for Daily Observer. Probably hope for short-term protection. "
"Okay." Klein no longer asks, and continues to practice guns, but not only the revolver, but also shotguns, single-shot rifles, and even rifles. In order to meet the situation in the future, you can quickly get started with any firearms around. .
When it was close to 12 o'clock, he returned to the first floor and entered the cafeteria. He took a roast chicken and a fried beef short rib, and the club ’s limited supply of cream cheese steamed lobster today.
Place these things, Klein also took Fenpot paella, fruit salad, oyster broth and Marquis black tea.
Facing this sumptuous lunch, he could n’t help swallowing a saliva and praised Goddess in his heart.
If you eat outside, this meal may cost 3shilling ... Klein uses silver forks and spoons alternately, and it is very satisfying to eat.
When he almost solved the food on the table, Talim Dumont led a man wearing a heavy coat and a half-height top hat came over.
"Detective Moriarty, this is the friend I said, Mike Joseph, Mike, this is the well-known great detective, Mr. Sherlock Moriarty." Talim smiled as introduction for both parties.
"Nice to meet you." Mike took off his hat and saluted.
His appearance is close to 30, his eyebrows are sparse, his skin is quite rough, and his pores are unusually obvious.
However, his facial features are not bad. The blue eyes are particularly charming, plus two beautiful moustache, it has a somewhat mature charm.
Klein could n’t help but touch the thickened and stubble around his lips, got up and asked the other person to sit down, and said with a smile:
"Today's cream cheese steamed lobster is not bad, you can give it a try."
"Okay." Mike Joseph didn't refuse, and took the dinner plate, went around and took a lot of food.
"He is in a hurry and hasn't eaten lunch yet." Talim smiled and explained to a friend, and put a stack of newspapers on the table.
"I can see it." Klein set aside the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and drank black tea leisurely.
He just ate this meal very satisfied.
At this time, Mike Joseph walked back with two plates of food, quickly took a few bites, padded the stomach, and then looked up at Klein:
"Detective Moriarty, have you heard of the recent serial murder case?"
"Take away the internal organs?" Klein moved in his heart, and asked briefly.
Talim nodded next to it, with emotion:
"Sure enough, every detective is paying attention to this serial murder case."
Mike turned out one of the newspapers and pushed it to Klein: "This is the latest report."
Klein took a look and found that it was the Daily Observer served by Mike. They wrote on the front page headline:
"11! Another lady killed! Sivallas Yard has no choice!"
—— The headquarters of Beckland Police Department is on Sivallas Street on the edge of Queen District, so they are nicknamed “Sivallas Yard”.
11? The 11th case? Klein resisted the urge to frown, and read down suspiciously, and found that it was exactly the same as the one he encountered. The target was women. They all wore gorgeous dresses and were viscerally removed.
This is a case with obvious signs of worship of Devil. Sivallas Yard must have been transferred to the Night Watcher, Justice Enforcer or Heart of Mechanics team. They want divination with divination, spiritism with spiritism, and all kinds of strange and effective extraordinary means. So far, no case has been solved, no criminals have been caught? That guy has a wealth of "anti-detection" abilities that destroy the soul of the dead? In other words, the soul of the deceased was taken away together with the internal organs, which belongs to the need of Devil ritual? Well, he can definitely interfere with divination ... Also, if the Extraordinary of "Devil" path does not have similar capabilities, how dare you kill people serially ... Klein thought Mike Joseph thoughtfully:
"Do you want to do a private investigation?"
"I'm sorry, I can't take over. I can't take over without the police's invitation. I have to maintain a good relationship with them."
The so-called good relationship is the relationship of asking me to go to the police station to drink tea ... Klein vomited by himself.
The real reason for his refusal is that the investigation of blending into this serial murder case is very easy to come across the official Extraordinary, which may include Goddess church Beckland church Night Watchers.
"No, it's not an investigation, no, the accurate description is, it's not an investigation of the murderer, I just want to complete my report." Mike Joseph swallowed shrimp and explained.
"Report?" Klein asked down with a white glazed porcelain teacup, hands clasped, gestures leisurely.
Mike Joseph Road:
"If you buy Daily Observer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will see my in-depth report on this serial murder case. The most important part is to reveal the common ground of the victims and remind similar people to pay attention."
"Well, what do they have in common?" Klein asked curiously.
Mike took a sip of coffee and said: "In addition to women and wearing colorful dresses, there is one very important thing in common. I did an in-depth investigation of the victim's occupation and found an interesting thing. "
"Some of them are maids, some are textile workers, some are tailors, and some are female teachers. On the surface, there is no overlap, but in fact, they have all done street prostitute."
"street prostitute? A female teacher?" Klein asked a little stunnedly.
In Ruen Kingdom, teachers are part of the middle class, and the minimum treatment is a weekly salary of 2 pounds, enough to make a woman's life pretty good, she has no need to do street prostitute.
Mike moved the corner of his mouth and sighed:
"Once, they may have had a very difficult time before finding a job that can feed themselves."
"I have done a survey before. Among Beckland, 15 to 55-year-old women, one in six are doing or have ever done street prostitute. Oh, this is our country, all foreigners come Here, everyone will feel surprised. A very conservative country, a bustling metropolis, is full of street prostitute. "(Note 1)
Here, this data is a bit exaggerated ... If it is true, it can only be said that reality is more exaggerated than fiction ... This **** world ... Klein burst into speech, thought for a while, and said intentionally:
"One question is, how does the murderer know that the victim has done street prostitute? They are not labeled, and you also need to investigate in depth to find out."
"It is great detective, this may be the clue." Mike Joseph did not reply unexpectedly.
No, if it ’s Extraordinary of “Devil” path, then his selection criteria may be the type that seems to have fallen but has not completely fallen, and they should have a keen instinct for the fall, maybe they can directly see the corresponding The in-depth "color", coupled with the trigger point of the colorful long skirt, the target is basically locked ... Klein answered himself in his heart and turned to ask:
"So, what else do you want to investigate?"
Mike nodded and said:
"In these 11 cases, 10 ladies have done street prostitute, but one is not, she is still a prostitute, um, the youngest, only Hibel, 16 years old, which seems very strange, very strange, I I want to go to 'Gold Rose', which is her, uh, and do an in-depth investigation at the place where she works to see if I can find something. "
“I ’m worried that the inquiry will annoy the people there, so I ’m going to ask you to protect me for a short time. You do n’t need to teach them, only to protect me from the most critical moment to escape.”
"If nothing happens, I will give you a reward of £ 1. If there is a fight, it will be raised to £ 5. What is your opinion?"
Klein smiled and said:
"I will wash my hands and reply to you."
He was polite and went slowly to the bathroom, then tossed the coin and got a definite answer.
