Chapter 124: Searching for Someone
Foirth flipped through the calendar on his desk and took a pen to mark the date of the upcoming full moon.
She made up her mind that when the time came to hear the illusory and terrible whisper, she would recite the name of the "Fool" and go to the gray mist to spend the unbearable painful time.
"Life is really full of expectations...... she folded her hands, ready to turn off the iron grilled gas street lamps embedded in the wall.
At that moment, Firth saw a flower in front of his eyes, saw the boundless gray mist, saw the tall figure dwelling in the majestic old palace, and saw a man praying sincerely.
The voice reached her ears, and she almost jumped, and her heart was surprised and delighted:
I've been looking for the "master trick" recipe for many years, and I found it like this?
I have participated in so many different gatherings of extraordinary people, but there is no clue to the "master of tricks" formula, and I found it like this?
And it's not been a week since I made my request!
This, this is what Tarot will ...... Sure enough, it is not comparable to the ordinary gathering of extraordinary people! Folth sighed with emotion, endured excitement and joy, and responded cautiously:
"Mr. Fool, is that recipe real?"
"Yes. The high-backed chair looked down at the "fool" below, and said flatly.
Furth clenched his fist violently, quietly waved it twice at his waist, and spoke almost without hesitation:
"That's Mr. 'World', right?"
"Please tell him and I'll find what he needs as soon as possible. ”
When the gray fog cleared and everything was over, Furth was stunned for two seconds, and he couldn't contain his excitement to get up and paced back and forth in the room.
The Sun Realm, an item that specializes in purification and exorcism...... I've only met twice before, but they were bought by someone else, and they may not be willing to sell again...... Well, at the previous meeting convened by Mr. A, Hugh asked a believer of the "Eternal Sun" to perform a purification and exorcism ritual, and he should have at least sequence 7, and should have similar items, or have clues about it...... I just don't know how much gold pounds it will cost, and although Mr. "World" promises to make up the difference, I may not be able to get the part that needs to be paid in advance...... Ever Firth gradually turned his mind to his own finances.
She now had £370 in cash, mainly from the premium paid by Viscount Glerint for the "Pharmacist" formula, and £510 in her bank account, which added up to nearly £900.
A similar item, which may cost £2,000 or £500 cheaper, is not necessarily the type that Mr. "World" needs...... What if I don't have enough money for the right thing?I go to the bank for a loan, or look for a loan with a higher interest rate, as long as it goes well, and when Mr. "World" pays the difference, my debt can be easily paid off...... Perhaps, you can borrow from Miss Audrey for a few days, she has never cared about money, and she will definitely not charge any interest...... Foirce quickly had a package solution.
At this moment, Hugh, who had gone to a secluded place outside to exercise his martial arts skills in the middle of the night, returned to the two-bedroom rented apartment, and saw that the lights were still on in Forth's room, so he knocked on the door and asked:
"Are you going to stay up late writing the beginning of a new book?"
"Uh, Folth, you seem to be happy that the publisher has raised your remuneration?"
"No, no, no. Firth was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just received a message that it seems to be a clue to the potion recipe of the 'Master of Tricks'. ”
"Really? you've finally waited for it!" Hugh was completely unaware of the hidden anomaly of Furth.
Seeing his friend's happy appearance, Furth couldn't help but sigh secretly:
I have become a member of a secret organization, and I have to bear the burden of hiding and deceiving my friends at all times......
Is that one of the costs?

On Saturday morning, Klein visited inventor Raypard again on Thatch Street in St. George's District.
Because the patent for the bicycle had not yet been applied, he only paid the balance of 20 pounds, and told the other party not to rashly find someone to talk about follow-up investment and cooperation before actually getting the patent.
Repard agrees with this, saying that two of his previous inventions were cheated out of the same way – before getting a patent, the potential investor who was approached understood the product clearly, was kicked out of the way, and watched the other party bribe the staff to get the patent first.
After leaving Raypard's house, Klein arrived at Issinger Stanton's slightly gloomy and dimly lit house in Hilston at the scheduled time.
Today is the date when the reward for serial murder comes down!
Passing through the living room and into the living room, Crane saw Caslana and Stuart, two more familiar detectives, and sat next to them.
"Sherlock, how much bounty do you think we'll get this time? Of course, I don't do much work, and I can get a limited amount of work, as Russell the Great said, no pain, no gain. Stuart clenched his fist against his beard at the chin level.
Klein guessed with interest:
"More may be a few hundred pounds, less than 10 pounds. ”
And I'm that many...... If Issinger Stanton is as credible as he describes himself...... Klein added in his heart.
At this moment, wearing a white shirt and brown waistcoat, and holding his trademark pipe, Eichinger entered the living room where the fireplace was blazing, sat down in his own easy chair, and smiled:
"Ladies and gentlemen. ”
"I just returned from the Beckland Police Department, and they recognized our contribution as having been crucial in solving the case. ”
"Even though we weren't involved in the subsequent roundup, we still got half of the bounty. ”
"In other words, we will divide 1,000 pounds in cash!"
This is also quite a bounty in Beckland, and a single detective has to sleep on the streets without eating or drinking for four or five years to save it. ”
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became relaxed, and the anticipation of one's bounty was everywhere.
Even Klein was no exception, and he was guessing how much Isinger would give him.
At least a hundred pounds, right?" he whispered silently.
Esinger took a puff on his pipe, squinted his eyes slightly, and said with great satisfaction:
"Thank you for your trust in me, and I am now making an assignment. ”
"The biggest contributor this time is Detective Sherlock Moriarty, who provided several ideas and ideas that allowed us to find clues and get on the right track, he is a veritable mystery expert!"
"Madam Kaslana can confirm this, and I also have a few letters from Detective Moriarty here, which those who question can take a look at them. ”
It's fair, isn't it...... I didn't even list myself as the biggest contributor...... Klein was a little impressed by the great detective Issinger Stanton:
No wonder he is very authoritative in detective circles!
Seeing that no one raised objections, Isenger nodded lightly and said:
"I declare that the bounty for Detective Sherlock Moriarty is, £300!"
With a bang, the detectives in the living room whispered to each other.
From time to time, they looked up at Klein, as if at last they had finally come to know the excellent detective whom Mr. Stanton praised as an expert in reasoning.
What a generous man, a just man...... Klein opened his mouth, not modest in the end.
In second place in the bounty were Issinger himself and Kaslana, who each received 160 pounds, and the rest of the detectives relied on different contributions to divide the remaining 380 pounds, of which the lowest one also had 15 pounds, which is equivalent to their usual income for three or four weeks, which is the benefit of high bounties for big cases.
Stuart, who received £40, was very satisfied, as he felt that he had only been observing for two days, and that the object of observation was not the suspect who had been identified later.
Of course, he also had to pay a portion of the £40 - all the informants and helpers involved in the matter had to be taken care of.
After dividing the bounty, Stuart suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket, and said to Klein:
"Sherlock, I recently took on a very well-paid search mission, you mobilize your resources, help me pay attention, if I can find it, I won't lose your share. ”
"Okay, no problem. Crane replied unconcernedly.
Stuart handed the piece of paper in his hand and said:
"This is this man, who has been missing for nearly two weeks. ”
"Because he was involved in misdeeds or some degree of crime, the client didn't want us to ask the police for help. ”
Klein nodded slightly, unfolded the paper, and saw a rubbed black and white photo:
It was a man with his hair combed back diagonally, with a bit of chic in his seriousness.
He was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, handsome in appearance, but there was an undisguised arrogance between his eyebrows and eyes, a high nose, and thin lips.
"By the way, his name is ......," Stuart recalled, "Emlyn White." ”
Emlyn White ...... Klein suddenly tilted his head and looked at Stuart:
"Huh?"
Isn't that the name of the vampire who was imprisoned in the basement by Father Utravsky?
............
In Duke Negan's mansion, Audrey, who had been invited to the afternoon tea party, listened to her mother and Duchess Della gossip about some things between the nobles.
Scanning her gaze over the delicate three-tiered bracket and the chic muffins and cakes, she felt that she had been a little indulgent lately, but she just picked up the teacup lightly and took a sip of black tea.
After a while, she got up apologetically, and went to the bathroom, accompanied by the maid.
As soon as she came out of it, she met a middle-aged lady who was tall, with slender eyebrows and a graceful dress.
This is none other than the sister of Duchess Dela, the wife of a hereditary viscount, Lady Norma.
After saluting each other, Norma looked at Audrey and chuckled:
"I heard that our beautiful maiden is interested in the occult?"
Talking about occultism, could it be that someone from the Psychological Alchemy Society came to test me? Audrey instantly turned into a "mind reader" state, and bowed her head embarrassedly and replied:
"Yes. ”
