"I didn't get the exact reason, but it's a bit of a concern. As he spoke, Haldes took a hard puff of his pipe, then slowly exhaled a thin wisp of smoke.

"But that's always a good thing, if Griffa didn't hide too much?" Lopez grumbled as López glanced up at the moon hanging high in the sky.

The soft moonlight sets off the peace and tranquility of the night, and falls on the branches of the trees, revealing mottled black shadows, like strips of rags hanging from the trees.

The evening breeze blows his face, gently blowing his short hair, the starry sky seems to be a little dazzling, as if embedded in the sky, there is such a night, maybe you can temporarily not think about troubles and melancholy, stand quietly, appreciation, in fact, it is not bad.

Occasionally, during this long journey, we also need to stop our busy pace.

"Oh, of course, but we seem to have to wonder now if there is any inn that will be able to open its doors to entertain us, or at least, to give a breather to my nowhere to put my cleanliness fetish. Stroking the top of his bare head, Haldeth said helplessly.

"I really didn't see it. Surprised, López withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and turned to Holdes.

"To tell you the truth, there is something strange about my slight cleanliness, which only manifests itself in my daily life, and as for the case handling, this old friend of mine will run away without a trace. Laughing, Heldis took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped his pipe: "If I hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have done it, and it seems that my old friend has returned to me after a short journey." ”

"I hope this is a good thing for you, at least so that you don't have to hear Madame complain loudly about the sloppiness of the house. "At this time, López has shrunk into a ball, and it is much colder outside than before.

"This is a pity because even with two old people who love cleanliness are present, the house may not always be clean, and my dear Catherine is reluctant to scold his precious daughter, so the person who often suffers has been appointed. In this regard, Holders expressed his helplessness.

"Well, I hope you like this inn, but the food tastes hard to compliment in a normal hotel, and I don't think we have time to look for another restaurant. With that, López walked up briskly and opened the closed wooden door of the hotel.

"Thank you. Nodding, Holdes walked in with his leg raised: "But most of the time I can't let go of my stubbornness about food, and my wife has captured me with her food, and that's unforgettable." ”

"And me. As he spoke, Holdes pointed to his head, "It's a cute little trick, but I think it's pretty romantic." ”

"Oh, it must have been a wonderful encounter. With a sigh of admiration, López gently pulled the chair under the table.

Haldais, on the other hand, sat down with peace of mind after wiping the chair with a handkerchief.

"Do you need something? Soon, the waiter of the inn came over, for by this time the hall on the first floor was empty.

"Well, let me think about it. Holding his chin, Haldece looked rather troubled, and after a short while, he made his decision: "A steak, medium-rare, really, this is the most delicious way to cook beef." ”

"Then I'll come here too, and I hope your taste won't disappoint me, my dear Detective Halles. At this time, López was leaning back in his chair relaxedly, and sleepiness had already swept over his body.

"I'm confident in my taste, but I don't expect much from the quality of the hotel's cooking. With that, Haldais took the pipe from his mouth: "Since I have become accustomed to Catherine's craft, I can no longer be interested in food other than it, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing." ”

"I think that's a good thing, but I haven't eaten any food made by my lover until now. As he spoke, melancholy climbed onto López's face again: "Okay, now let's talk about Gna, do you think he is suspicious?"

"It's a question worth pondering, but I can't give an answer yet, but it's clear that he's lying. With that, Haldes wiped the table again with the handkerchief that had not yet been put away.

"Well, I'm convinced by the fact that you have a cleanliness fetish. With a grin, López put away his relaxed posture, then crossed his arms and leaned on the table: "I guess you must be referring to the answer about gold jewelry." ”

"Keen observation, López, yes, after hearing my question, Gna's body trembled slightly, and after knowing about the jewels and gold, he did not arouse any curiosity, and did not ask, for example, where is it hidden, how did you find it, how many are there, these questions, obviously, he is not surprised that jewels and gold exist. With that, Holdeth took up his pipe again and put it in his mouth, and when he was thinking or excited, he never forgot his pipe: "Most of the tremors of men come from fear, and the rest from sadness, which, by the way, comes from my considerable experience." ”

After saying that, Holdeth smoked his pipe again: "Obviously, Gna's trembling does not come from sadness, I think the source of those gold and jewels should not be simple." ”

"Hopefully a trip to the town of Gireji will give us some answers. Sighing, López rubbed his eyelids, which had begun to collapse, and seriously, there was no moment in his life when he needed more sleep than now.

"Here comes our food, López, and I hope my arrogant mouth won't protest against it. After gently removing the pipe from his mouth, Holdes raised his palm and slowly covered the iron knife and fork on the table.

"Well, well, not bad, at least much better than my master's craft. With a sigh of admiration, López lowered his head and took a big gulp.

"Oh, for now, your taste is debatable, López, this food is simply hard to swallow, well, forgive my arrogant mouth. At some point, Holdès had put down the knife and fork in his hand and began to rub his forehead helplessly.

"You'd better relax your standards, my dear Detective Halles, this food is pretty good, seriously. In response, López once again poured the freshly cut steak into his mouth.
