After eight o'clock, inside Moretti's restaurant.

Looking at the plate with only a shallow soup base left, Benson raised his hand to cover his mouth and burped in satisfaction.

"Although this is the third time I've eaten it, I still think it's delicious enough, the sweet and sour of the tomatoes and the elastic flesh of the oxtail and the very special umami flavor are perfectly combined, Klein, I really regret that Black Thorn Security has deprived the city of Tingen a brilliant chef. ”

Melissa leaned back in her chair and nodded silently.

"It's just because you haven't seen real cooking. Klein smiled modestly, "In the future, if we have the opportunity, we will go to the Bonaparte restaurant in the Galls neighborhood to taste the authentic Intis meal, and go to the shoreline restaurant in the Golden Sycamore district to taste the delicious food of the South." ”

These are all restaurants that are regularly in the newspapers, and the former costs 1 and a half pounds per person.

"I prefer what you do. Melissa replied without hesitation.

Benson smiled and said:

"But I always felt that there was something wrong with the tomato oxtail soup you made, maybe maybe it shouldn't go with the bread?"

Klein nodded in agreement:

"Its best partner should be rice. ”

"Rice ......," Melissa whispered, and there was a bit of yearning in her expression.

Tingen, which is located in the north, is not a metropolis, and it is difficult to eat rice except for a few restaurants.

In the case of Benson and Melissa, the food is almost exclusively described in newspapers, and only in the occasional introduction in textbooks.

Seeing his sister's expression, Klein laughed and said:

"When we save up another half a year, we will find an opportunity to go to Desey Bay for a vacation and taste the food there. ”

Located in the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Rune, one-third of the bay belongs to the Kingdom of Fenerport, which is famous for its sunshine, scenery and paella.

Without waiting for Melissa to express her opinion on frugality, Klein took the initiative to mention:

"Wait another three months, and my salary will increase significantly, which can fully meet the needs of traveling and saving money at the same time. ”

"Why?" and Benson and Melissa were distracted.

Crane coughed lightly and explained with a smile:

"Based on my good professionalism, the police department that often works with our company is also interested in hiring me as a part-time history consultant, and they will pay me an additional salary, at least £2 a week, and don't be surprised if you see me wearing a police uniform and showing the corresponding documents in the future. ”

"Of course, as you all know, the efficiency of government departments is like the footsteps of a ninety-year-old lady, and they still need a long process and an assessment of me, so I often go to Hoy University on my two months off to find my mentors, find faculty members I know, and learn more knowledge. ”

In the surprised eyes of his brother and sister, he paused, and said with a slightly strange expression:

"As Russell the Great said, live and learn until you are old. ”

Benson was silent for a few seconds, half emotional, half self-deprecating, and said:

"Is it too late for me to apply for college now?"

"Knowledge is wealth. ”

It also equals strength...... Crane silently added.

"Benson, you need Klein's grammar books, you need his classics textbooks. Melissa coldly helped Klein say what he wanted to say.

Bensen's expression seemed to change, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Crane, you give me those books tonight. ”

"Even if they help me sleep, I'm going to read one, no, an hour and a half every day. ”

"I swear in the name of the goddess! If I can't, I'm a curly-haired baboon!"

Klein immediately smiled:

"No problem. ”

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

The next morning, Crane hung his coat and hat on the coat rack in the break room, and as Roshan had relayed, he went underground and made his way to the guard room outside the Chanis Gate.

Captain Dunn, team members Renfrey, Siga, Loyao, Leonard and Cohenley have all arrived.

Gray eyes swept over the new night watchman at the door, and Dunn smiled:

"We have a regular meeting every Thursday to take stock of the previous tasks and discuss the various problems we faced. ”

I'm also someone who's been tested by countless meetings...... Klein sneered, found a place to sit down, and joked:

"Do you need to introduce yourself first?"

Dunn laughed and turned to look at Kornley:

"Tell us a little bit about the follow-up investigation of Siris Arepis. ”

Kornley is also a civilian-turned-night watchman, not tall, with thick brown hair, a fairly well-proportioned figure, and very strong muscles, giving people a shrewd and capable feeling.

He thought for a moment and said:

"With the help of Old Neil, we found Siris's secret hiding place, and there were a lot of books and items on the scene, based on which it can be confirmed that Sirius is a member of the secret organization 'Aurora Society' and is a 'secret prayer person'. ”

"There is enough evidence that the Antigonus family notes were sold to Welch by him and Henus Vincent, and those who do not remember Welch can ask Klein. ”

"The valuable items we have found include the recipes for three sequence potions, namely Sequence 9 'The Fortune Teller', Sequence 9 'The Apprentice', Sequence 8 'Joker' and '......"

"The next task is to find the peripheral members of the 'Aurora Society' who believe in the evil god based on some of the letters that have not yet been destroyed and Siris's usual social circle, with a focus on the cultist hiding in the police department. ”

"Also, people who have been in contact with Henas also need to be re-investigated. ”

Dunn bowed his head lightly and looked at Klein:

"As you heard, we have obtained the recipe for the Joker''s potion, but we can't confirm the authenticity for the time being, pending feedback from the Templars. ”

"The mission related to the Aurora Society, you have made a major and crucial contribution, plus the shooting of the Esoteric Order, it doesn't even take long for you to get enough promotion, but I must remind you that not everyone is Dali, you have to endure the desire, endure for three years, and not be affected by the recipe of the 'Joker' potion, so as not to get out of control. ”

Captain, this is the magic of the "play--law" that you don't understand...... Last night, I used divination on the gray mist to make a preliminary confirmation that the recipe for the "Joker" potion was correct...... Clay nodded honestly:

"I'm going to keep my emotions in check. ”

Then, the white-haired, black-eyed, and quiet "Midnight Poet" Siga Teang said:

"I still haven't been able to find any clues about the 'instigator' Triss, and I suspect he has fled Tingen. ”

......

After exchanging things one by one, Klein left the guard room and asked Old Neil to continue his occult lessons, and in the afternoon he went to Gawain, the martial arts teacher, to do basic strength, endurance, and overall coordination training.

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

The sun is still shining at five o'clock.

Klein took off his practice clothes, took a quick shower, changed into his original clothes, and rode a public carriage to Beswick Street.

He hadn't forgotten the red chimney he saw in the "Dream Divination", nor did he forget the man who bought the "audience" potion auxiliary materials in the underground trading market and was suspected of being a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", but it was not convenient to use the power of the night watchman to investigate.

"No. 27, Henry's Private Detective Agency...... Yes, here it is. Based on the newspaper description, Klein found a private detective agency that was supposedly trustworthy.

He put on his mask, lowered his top hat, cocked up his collar, and went up the stairs to the office on the second floor.

He knocked on the half-hidden door.

"Please come in. A voice that seemed to have old phlegm in his mouth came out.

Carrying a cane, Crane pushed the door open and saw that the detective agency had adopted a semi-open layout, with four employees, each sitting in the position separated by the baffle.

"Hello, I'm Detective Henry, how can I help you?" greeted a man in a white shirt and black vest.

He had a pipe in his hand, his face was stiff, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and his dark blue eyes looked up and down the employer across from him professionally.

Klein covered his little half of his face with the collar of his trench coat that stood high and said:

"I have two things to entrust, I don't know how you charge?"

"It depends on the difficulty of the matter. Detective Henry retracted his gaze and pointed to the hospitality area with a sofa set, "Let's go there and talk." ”

Klein followed him to the half-partitioned area and sat down on the single couch, without taking off his coat, hat, or mask.

He deliberately said in a hoarse voice:

"First of all, I need you to help me find out what the chimneys of the houses in Tingen look like this and find out who the landlords are and who the current occupants are. ”

As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper, and unfolded it to reveal the colored red chimney and the surrounding scene.

This is Klein's second use of the special and self-supplicating method above the gray fog.

"This painting is really good...... Detective Henry subconsciously praised, frowning slightly, "This commission is not complicated, but it is very cumbersome, requiring a long cycle and a large number of helpers." ”

"I understand. Klein bowed slightly.

Detective Henry pondered for a moment and said:

"£7, the price of this commission is £7, and besides, you'll have to give me at least two weeks' time. ”

"Well, the second thing, help me find this gentleman and find out who he is, the only information I know is that he occasionally appears at the Dragon Bar in the docks, and, don't let him know, he's a very perceptive, terrifying observer. Crane pulled out a second portrait.

He tried to reach out to the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society to see if he could obtain valuable information and materials, such as recipes that could be exchanged with Justice.

"Three pounds, all of these tasks are three to four pounds, and your excellent drawing skills will help me and my assistant save time. Detective Henry replied expertly.

"It's 10 pounds in total?" Klein felt a toothache at the price.

Detective Henry took a puff on his pipe and said:

"Yes, you'll need to pay £2 upfront, £3 to £5 when things get going, and give me the rest when it's all done. ”

"Then I'll check in next week on the progress. Klein didn't bargain much, lest he be remembered by Mr. Detective, who was good at observing.

After signing the standard contract, he took out two 1 pound notes and handed them to the other party, leaving only 1 pound 17 soles in his private money.

Seeing the gentleman wearing a gauze mask, a black trench coat, and a high collar walking away, Detective Henry smoked his pipe, and his eyes were full of doubts:

"What is he looking for a house with that kind of chimney?"

“...... It should be a painter, or at least a professional who has studied sketching......"

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

And in the afternoon, Viscount Glerin was in the luxurious villa of Beckland.

Audrey, who followed the maid, followed the etiquette, gave her hand to her master, and watched him kiss him virtually.

"Your beauty fills my salon with brilliance. Glerint first complimented normally, then lowered his voice, "The lady has arrived, she is both an extraordinary and a writer. ”
