Chapter 226: The Generous Prince

The scene in front of him suddenly reminded Klein of the romance story told by Talim Dumont:

His noble friend fell in love with a commoner woman, and she would not marry her, which was absolutely not allowed in the top circles of the aristocracy, and Talim was so troubled by this that he almost hired a murderer, but in the end he persuaded the woman to let her leave his friend on his own initiative.

Could it be that the protagonist of this story is Edsak Augustus? The situation is very consistent in all aspects, as a prince, marrying a commoner, in the current era, is simply an outrageous act, since the founding of the kingdom, the spouse of the direct members of the Augustan family is and can only be a noble woman...... Listening to the meaning of the words just now, Edsak got the civilian woman back again?Moreover, he also gave her the punishment of grounding?True love...... In just an instant, a story of a domineering prince and a poor little white flower took shape in Crane's mind.

He cleared his eyes and admired the scenery ahead.

"It's not what it really looks like right now, but in the spring, when the grass sprouts, you'll see a golf course of the highest spec. Prince Edsak sent the maid away, raised his whip, and pointed around.

"Golf?" Klein asked rhetorically, already thinking of the answer.

Prince Edsak motioned for the guards and his retinue to stay away, leaving only the old butler and Crane with him.

As he walked along the barren flat land, he laughed and said:

"Yes, golf, it's a sport that really belongs to the aristocracy, and most of the owners of magazines and newspapers don't have the opportunity to participate in it.

"As much as I don't like Russell, I have to admit that his whimsy gives us a world that's interesting enough that if you can figure out Talim's death, it's always open to you. ”

Sure enough, it was Russell...... Crane exhaled softly.

Seeing that he did not respond, Prince Edsak continued to sigh to himself:

"Russell is a man worth learning from in every way, but his attitude towards feelings disgusts me, of course, this is the common character and style of most Indisian nobles, and it is also the root of their obsession with luxury and the erosion of life. ”

Edsak looked at the slow, sparse stream ahead, and said in a mature tone that transcended his years:

"Ninety-nine percent of people are not geniuses like Russell, and in order to succeed and build a great career, you must figure out what you really want, what price you are willing to pay for it, and never look back. ”

Speaking of this, his tone slowed down, and he laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Before this year, I had always thought that I was very fond of Earl Hall's daughter, who had perfect looks, elegant manners, a large fortune, a prominent family, and a very powerful father, a prince who could not be picky about his marriage, but I now understand that what really attracted me, what I wanted to have even dreamed of, was a unique temperament, and a deep heart that was born of experience, oh, I am not saying that the young lady of Earl Hall's family did not have temperament, but that was not what I wanted, appreciated, and liked. ”

Your Royal Highness, your tone, attitude, and expression are almost the same as those of Talim when he was alive...... Don't die suddenly in front of me, then I can't wash away the suspicion by jumping into the Tasok River...... And if you hear about this kind of thing too much, it's easy to be killed, do you want to tie me to your chariot...... Crane was inexplicably a little scared.

He cleared his throat and took the initiative to divert the topic:

"Your Royal Highness, with your status and status, there will definitely be no shortage of subordinates, and some people are willing to investigate Talim's death for you, why do you have to look for me?"

Edsaac shook his head and chuckled:

"As a prince, there is as much power as there is no freedom, and there are many things that cannot be done by the people around me, and most eyes are on me.

"You're a great detective with a lot of brains and a good relationship with Talim, and you were there at the time, so I don't think there's anyone more suitable than you.

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'm sure I'll keep you safe. ”

This commitment is like toilet paper in the bathroom...... Klein couldn't help but sneer.

Prince Edsak had already said this, and he felt that if he refused again, he would probably be inseparable from the Red Rose Manor, so he sighed:

"Actually, I am as angry as you are about Talim's death, but reality makes me have to remain calm. ”

Edsak smiled and said:

"How can you help me?"

"Talim's hair, flesh and blood, plus his belongings. Klein made a request.

"Okay, I'll have these things delivered to your house after that. Edsak immediately agreed, and then asked curiously, "That's all?"

Klein is not polite:

"When I have a preliminary direction, I will know what kind of help I need?, Your Royal Highness, you had better give me a contact information, a private detective always comes to this manor, which will certainly arouse suspicion. ”

Edsak nodded, and said as if he had already prepared:

"I will have people secretly rent the house next door to you, that is, 13 Minsk Street, and when you need to get in touch, you will write a letter to visit your new neighbors and put it in the mailbox, as for the remuneration, you should know that I am not a stingy person, even if there is no result in the end, as long as you make a contribution and take risks, you will have a corresponding income, and if you do find out the truth, I will give you a payment that is enough for you to retire. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince is very resolute...... Pension, that's at least 3,000 pounds up...... Klein sighed secretly.

"Yes, may the spirit of Talim be at peace in the land of storms and lightning. He bowed.

Edsak bowed his head lightly and instructed the old butler:

"You take Detective Moriarty out and send him back to Minsk Street. ”

Isn't that too arrogant to treat the guests? Of course, the fact that it's still a long time before noon is the main reason...... Klein teased silently.

He followed the old butler all the way to the gate of the manor, and retrieved the pouch, revolver, and bullets.

............

Inside 15 Minsk Street, Klein stood in front of a bay window, watching the carriage with the royal coat of arms go away.

"If you really need to dig deeper, Sherlock Moriarty could die at any time...... Maybe someone is staring at me now, well, not yet, after all, I haven't started any action yet......" Crane frowned slightly, and stood quietly.

At this moment, he has never been more urgent than he is to promote the "Faceling".

"You can't just wait for the 'Mechanical Heart' to explore the tomb of the Amon family, and you have to continue to try to buy the characteristics of the Human Skin Shadow in other channels, after all, no one knows how long the 'Mechanical Heart' will be prepared, in case it exceeds a month, or even more than half a year......?

At 2:45 p.m., he entered the bathroom with his newspaper and actively prepared for the week's tarot gathering.

Three o'clock.

A crimson, illusory glow rose, and Audrey Hall looked around in a good mood.

Last night, she finally got the coveted Sequence 7 "Psychiatrist" potion recipe, and at this time there was still that mixed feeling of excitement, excitement and steadfastness, and the psychological alchemy society did not ask her to contribute immediately, saying that it was an advance.

They fully believe that Miss Audrey has an excellent ability to "repay".

There were no new members...... "Just" Audrey stood up, looked at the top of the bronze table, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed:

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool' ~ Good afternoon......"

Her light and cheerful voice broke the eternal silence above the gray mist, and let Klein, who was originally a little depressed, temporarily get rid of the troubles of the outside world.

He bowed his head lightly and responded to the greetings of several members.

When she sat down again, Audrey took in the figures of the other members and formed a dynamic scene with the images she had observed earlier:

In addition to saluting, Mr. "Hanging Man" quietly glanced at Mr. "Fool" with inconspicuous curiosity, and then he looked at Mr. "World" with some expectation...... In other words, he has a lot to do with the Storm Church, he knows the details of the assassination of Duke Negan, learns that the grand thief "Black Emperor" has appeared, and has a desire to explore the hidden truth behind this matter...... the extraordinary characteristics of the "werewolf" entrusted to him by Mr. "World" seem to have come to fruition, and he is likely to have found one of the two materials, the characteristics of the human skin shadow and the hair of the deep sea naga......

"The Sun" was in a stable mood with a bit of lightheartedness, suggesting that he believed that Silver City's surveillance of him had been lifted...... What did he rely on to make his judgments, and was he reassigned to the so-called Exploration Team?

Furth was a little depressed when he relaxed...... She passed the test of that Abraham family member and became a student of the other party, but was forced to accept something that was not good for her?

Mr. "World" is as cold and deep as ever...... Maybe I get Sequence 7, or even Sequence 6, to grasp his mood changes and thoughts......

Well, the "Fool" is still so mysterious and powerful that it is impossible to speculate.

A series of thoughts crossed the mind of "Justice" Audrey, and she looked at the figure shrouded in gray fog and said:

"Dear Mr. 'Fool', I have obtained three new pages of Russell's diary. ”

This was the manuscript she had asked for from the "Psychological Alchemy Society", since it had only been mentioned last night, and the time was rather short, and Isrant had only had time to give her three pages.

"What do you want?" Crane asked with a smile.

Audrey replied sincerely:

"It's the reward you paid for answering my question, okay?"

When she said this, she was inexplicably a little show-off:

Mr. "Hanged Man", you don't know the existence of the "Dusk Hermit Society"!

Huh, I'm really envious, Miss "Justice" doesn't know what kind of problem she asked in private...... When I got back, I wrote to my teacher and asked him if he had any of Russell's diary there, and no, I have to say that the notes ...... "magician" Falth suddenly had a desire and motivation.

Under the suspicious gaze of the "Hanged Man", Crane nodded indifferently:

"Yes. ”

Audrey quickly revealed three pages of tawny diaries and passed them on to Mr. Fool.

Klein took it and saw that on the first page it was written:

"On January 13, I was able to contact Mr. 'Door' steadily. ”
