"This Tibetan knife cane is good, it looks a little ordinary, but since it is a weapon, it will make people wary in advance if it is too ostentatious, how much did you buy it?"

In the office, Sherlock sat across from Donald, with his feet on a low stool and a cup of black tea beside him, turning the chair so that he could look out the window at the flowers behind the house and the street a little further along.

"For 1 gold pound, I also bought a gun for the same price. ”

Donald translates the text while chatting with Sherlock, otherwise the atmosphere in the living room will become dull.

"Hey, why haven't I been commissioned to come to the door yet, but I'm a professional detective who has solved a jewelry theft case...... So boring. ”

The entertainment industry in this era was still a bit poor, similar to taverns, opera houses and other places were only lively at night, and more importantly, Sherlock had no work at hand, and Donald could pass the time by means of translation, but he could only wander between the scenery outside and the secret newspaper in his hand.

"The theft of Mr. Aebel's jewelry was solved in one day, and it did not cause public discussion, and I guess he would not have talked about it himself......"

Although the two of them indirectly solved an answer, because the criminal was a stranger, and Abel didn't want this kind of affair to be known to everyone, the impact of this case was destined not to be too great, and the reward was a lot, but there was not much growth in fame.

"Why don't we investigate some cases that the police are investigating now? If we find the murderer before they do, and then publicize it through newspapers like the Secret News, wouldn't we be famous? For example, this case of the disappearance of a young girl is a hot topic in society right now. ”

Not all cases will get widespread attention, but as long as they can be related to the flower girl, the attention will often not be less, after all, most people will yearn for beautiful things, and when they learn that someone is destroying and plundering this beauty, they will look at it intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only has it been reported continuously for nearly a week, but the number of missing people has also increased from the initial 2 to the current 5, and the severity of the case has been increasing.

Of course, it is a good thing for the news agency, because it means that as long as they can dig up a part of the content, they can immediately win a lot of attention, but for the police department, it is another matter, the people will not care about your methods and processes to solve the case, they just want the result, and the case has not been solved, not to mention abuse, there must be a lot of accusations and questions.

Sadly, as taxpayers, they do have the right to question, because the salaries in the police department are paid by these taxpayers.

"Theoretically, I'm just an assistant, you're a detective, it's up to you to get involved. ”

An assistant should have the appearance of an assistant, and Donald can give his own opinion, and the suggestion will be forgotten.

If this kind of case can be solved, it will naturally become famous, but if it doesn't get it right, if there is a conflict with the police, they are probably not giving people good fruit to eat.

"This kind of case must be very sensitive on the police side, and we have to start with the family side......

Sherlock's emotions were quickly stirred up at the beginning of the discussion, and Donald was a little absent-minded, he had already looked at the wall clock on the wall several times in a row, counting the lunch time.

Today is the day to make an appointment with Ronan, and if he successfully completes the demon slaying ritual, he will go to the tavern on Gesang Street to tell Donald.

Donald wanted to know his success or failure, and even though the contents of the dream gave some answer, he still wanted to confirm it for himself.

Can Ronan come back?

"Sherlock, I'd like to take half a day off, I have important business to do in the afternoon, and the remuneration can be deducted from my salary. ”

There was no exact time agreed, but Donald was having lunch at the time, so he shouldn't have missed it.

In addition, he did have other things to do, the third key in his hand that he did not know the purpose of, and he wanted to find out where it came from, and he couldn't remember it, so he went to the key shop, maybe there would be a clue.

"Okay, it's okay today anyway. ”

In the absence of a case, what Donald needs to do in the firm is translation work, and a slow down for half a day has little effect.

Since the boss agreed, Donald left Swift's office at 11 o'clock and went to Gesang Street.

Coincidentally, this shop is not far from the restaurant, just about 20 meters away, a small canopy has been erected outside the store, and the rain has formed a rain curtain along the tarpaulin, and a wooden box has been specially placed outside the door, which has two black umbrellas and an ordinary non-slip blanket, stained with a lot of stains.

I put away the umbrella outside, stood on the blanket and stepped on it a few times in a row, which was considered to remove the water stains and mud, and then opened the door and entered.

The shop is a bit cramped, and when you enter the door, you can see the counter, and on the wall behind it, there are many utensils, wrenches, cages, and other things hung with nails as shelves.

"What do you need, sir?"

Behind the counter, the store manager who was twisting the wire with pliers stood up to greet him.

"I want to know what the style of this key goes with, it's a relic of my late father, and the letter says he left something for me, but doesn't tell me where it is. ”

He casually made up a reason, took out 2 pence and handed it over with the key, he saw the impatient expression on the face of the store manager, working day jobs is always unmotivating, and it has to be rewarded.

"What a generous gentleman, please wait a minute, I have a lot of key mold styles here, and we also have standards in this industry, the door has a door key style, and the box has a box key style...... The difference is only in the iron teeth on the key. ”

As he spoke, the store manager took out a yellowed scroll from under the counter and opened it on the counter, and Donald glanced at it to see a dozen hand-drawn key styles.

"Let me see, it's not the key to the security window, it's not the key to the solid wood door, it's not the key to the carry-on suitcase...... There you go, it's made of brass with small round holes at the top...... As you can see, this is a locker key, not an ordinary kind, but for the bank, what the husband's father wants to leave you should be an inheritance, it is safest to keep it in the bank, you can take this key to the bank to pick up what belongs to you, good luck. ”

After comparing them one by one, the true origin of the key was finally found.

Pushing open the door, Donald was about to return to the restaurant to wait for Ronan, and when he picked up the umbrella outside the door, on the other side of the street, a figure exposed to the rain was staggering.
