Chapter 127: The Past
Hearing Allen's request, Klein almost drew a crimson moon on his chest, but finally resisted the urge and responded very seriously:
"Maybe some of my actions have misled you. ”
"But I must tell you that faith is a thing that is decided and does not change. ”
Alan suddenly raised his arms and made an apologetic gesture:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood your piety, and I shouldn't have joked about your faith. ”
"Okay, differences in faith don't stop us from being friends. ”
Klein put away the expression he had disguised just now, and said with a smile:
This statement is not true in Vrsack and Fenerport, who can only accept one faith. ”
Comparatively, since multiple churches have coexisted for more than 1,400 years, Rune and Intis are much more open in this regard.
Without waiting for Allen to answer, he pretended to change the subject casually:
"Did you ever see Will Unsetin? the kid who had a leg sawed off and said you were going to get bad luck. ”
He believed that the night watchman would definitely follow the clues provided by Allen to check the past, so he was a little curious about what the ending would be, and wondered if it was the child who changed Allen's fortune or the tarot card in his hand.
"No, I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital. Alan shook his head affirmatively.
It's a pity, the night watchman can find it according to the address registered in the hospital, but I can't rush to meddle...... Of course, the kid might have moved away a long time ago...... After chatting with Allen, Klein prepared to head to the underground shooting range to familiarize himself with the revolver that came with him with normal bullets.
At this time, two more acquaintances came in at the door, one was a member of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee, a shareholder of the Coim Company, Mrs. Mary, and the other was Klein's landlord, Mrs. Starlene Summer, both of whom wore relatively light dresses and looked much younger.
According to the club's rules, each member could only bring one extra person in, so Mary's maid and specially hired bodyguards were left in the reception hall.
Klein greeted him politely, said hello, and praised politely:
"Two ladies, you are as beautiful today as ever, but you are different from your usual beauty. ”
Mary, who has recently come into contact with a lot of big names, smiled slightly:
"Russell said that life is about sports, and Starling always stays at home, takes care of those chores, even if she goes out, she only goes to banquets, listens to opera, and her health is much worse than before, so I brought her to play tennis and squash. ”
With high cheekbones, she turned her eyes and saw a member of the House of Commons and two members of the Bakerland Region chatting in the corner, so she turned to Starling sideways and said:
"I've met an acquaintance, go over and say hello, you can go to the library and wait for me. ”
"Okay. Starling was noticeably more beautiful than Mary, but she was quite respectful and docile to the lady.
When Mary walked some distance, she raised her chin slightly, looked at Klein and said:
"Mr. Moriarty, you seem to have been busy lately?"
"Yes, I was working with a lot of detectives to help the police investigate that serial murder case, and we made a certain contribution and got a lot of bounties. Klein replied "truthfully."
Starlene stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and said:
"Really?"
"What did the murderer look like, and why did he kill the ladies?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I have to abide by the confidentiality clause. Klein expertly made an excuse.
I can't tell you that it has black fur, a smooth tail, and likes to run on all fours...... Klein complained in his heart.
Starling nodded slightly regretfully, and then asked curiously:
"And how much bounty did you get?"
"A lot of us carved it up together. Klein didn't answer directly.
"Is there 50 pounds?" asked Starling.
"Yes. Klein "honestly" bowed.
Starlene Summerton smiled:
"You're earning more than I thought you would, you're such a capable detective. ”
"No, this kind of good thing may not happen for a few years. Crane smiled and shook his head.
"Either way, you've proven what you're capable of. Starlene rolled her eyes and said, "Next Sunday, Luke and I will have a banquet at home, I hope you will come to it, well, sorry, this is presumptuous, after that I will ask my maid to deliver the invitation to you, hehe, this banquet is attended by many unmarried young ladies, their fathers or mothers have relatively decent jobs, the family income is more than 200 pounds a year, and some of them also have part-time occupations that can be done at home, such as typists, they are all very good women." ”
This is a blind date banquet...... Mrs. Starlene recognized my earning ability as a detective, so she planned to introduce girls to me who was single?However, in her eyes, I could only match a woman of this level?Klein flashed many thoughts in an instant, but considering the need to maintain the neighborhood relationship and the trouble of preparing dinner by himself, he agreed with a smile:
"If there was no emergency, I would have attended on time. ”
Starlene smiled and said:
"Then Luke and I await your visit. ”
She stopped rambling and left, entering the club's small library, while Crane practiced his extraordinary abilities in a small, enclosed range.
............
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Crane sat at his desk and watched the crimson moon in mid-sky gradually break through the clouds, revealing that he was no longer missing.
The pale red "tulle" like water slowly swung away, and the time passed minute by minute, and when it was a quarter past 10 o'clock, he heard the sound of unreal cascading supplications.
Without needing to tell, Klein could guess that it was supposed to be a distress call from Miss "The Magician".
He brushed the floor and closed the curtains, extinguished the lights, and took four steps backwards into the gray mist, reaching out to touch the crimson stars that were shrinking and expanding.
In an instant, the hazy figure of Furth appeared on the chair with the symbol "Door of Layers" behind it.
She breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', you saved me once more. ”
"It's not a big deal. Klein replied in a very light and breezy tone.
Furth was stumped and sat down again.
She thought about what had just happened and didn't open her mouth for a while, and Klein didn't take the initiative to throw out the topic in order to maintain her image.
In the majestic palace like the abode of giants, silence quickly became the main theme.
When Foirth came back to her senses, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little oppressive and uncomfortable.
At the party, there were Miss "Justice" and Mr. "World", they were not afraid that no one would speak, and now, it is only me and Mr. "Fool", what should I do, I feel so stressed! I have to say something, I have to say something, I can't just sit like a fool...... He certainly didn't care about anything, but I was nervous and restrained! Furth suddenly regained the feeling of being alone with his immediate boss when he first entered the workplace.
Although Klein was not an audience, he could clearly see Miss "Magician's" restraint and uneasiness, so he smiled and said:
"Maybe you can tell us a little bit about how you became extraordinary. ”
For example, how to get the "apprentice" recipe and the bracelet ...... Klein silently added the true direction of the question.
Furth relaxed a little and recalled:
"That was almost three years ago, and I just graduated from Beckland Medical School. ”
"With the help of my father, I was able to enter a private clinic that was well paid, and my father had settled in East Bailang. ”
"Ever since the discovery of a safe passage to the southern continent, the fine young men of the kingdom have begun to spill their footprints into every corner of the kingdom, my father, as a low-ranking officer, went to East Bailang, chasing wealth and power, while my mother and I were left behind in Beckland, living as widows and fathers, hehe, it was months before a ship brought a letter from afar. ”
"This is not uncommon in the kingdom, I know an old gentleman who has five children, but either in the archipelago or in the West Bailang, in the Pas Valley, in the Hagati steppe, who have their own business, who have their own family and wealth, and who have forgotten that there is a father who is always waiting for their return. ”
"When I was in grammar school, my mother fell seriously ill, and I had no choice but to watch her die in her hospital bed, and my father wrote back to me a month later, telling me that he had a new family and a new life in East Bailang, and that he had given me all his possessions and some extra money, and I thought he must have felt a little guilty. ”
As a best-selling author, Foirth has mastered the art of rambling.
Crane was idle, quietly listening, and did not interject.
Whew, Furth exhaled and continued:
"Anyway, my father introduced me to the Yusuf clinic through the retired officers' club, where the salary was really good, and I was doing well, but I was a little anxious about the future, so I kept studying hard with the senior doctors, trying to save money, until I met an old lady who came to see me often. ”
"She was lonely, had no children, and her partner had passed away ten years ago, so I had some sympathy for her and would often talk to her and talk to her. ”
"Once, I was amazed that she was able to walk through a wall, and it opened me into a new world. ”
The old lady said that it was a legacy given to her by her husband, and she vaguely mentioned that as long as it was not from any family, it seemed that there would be no curse. ”
"Not long after, she was so ill that she was dying, and she asked me if I wanted to be like her, and I was very young at the time, and I still had many fantasies in my head, and I said yes without hesitation. ”
"She gave me the recipe and told me to guard her body after she died, and to take the glowing items that would pop up, and that was what she left me to use as the main ingredient for potions.
In addition, she gave me this bracelet and told me not to use it until the most dangerous times, and at the same time, not to pay too much attention to the whispers of the full moon. ”
"It's a pity that I couldn't avoid the danger after all, and I used it once, and the full moon's murmuring became serious. ”
It seems that it was some Abraham's widow...... She used her own experience to prove that the "curse" only exists in the bloodline...... Klein bowed his head lightly and said:
"When you become a high-level powerhouse, then the babble won't have much effect. ”
"I hope so. Although Foirth didn't believe that she could become a high-level powerhouse, she believed in Mr. "Fool".
............
It was another Monday, and Klein had just gotten up and gone downstairs when he saw a piece of paper spread out on the coffee table in the living room, with a short text written on it:
"It worked. ”
That's good...... Klein breathed a sigh of relief.
At 2:45 p.m., he entered the gray fog on time to "prepare" for a new tarot meeting.
