Bai Ge changed into a long cloak, a half-height silk top hat, and carried a black wooden cane, walking the streets of Alexandria.

Although it was Tuesday, he should theoretically go to the Library of Alexandria to take care of Raffronzer, but due to Raffronzer's commission, Bai Ge came to the port area.

The port area of a port is usually the most chaotic and lively.

Alexandria, of course, is no exception.

The weather was bad today, with clouds covering the sun and the whole world looking gloomy and gray.

The rain has created puddles of water on the uneven ground, and it is easy to get wet on your trouser legs.

On the side of the street, colorful neon lights shine, even brighter than the sun obscured by the clouds.

The people of the port are rarely dressed as gentlemen as Bai Ge, and more are strong men who come and go in dirty clothes and port uniforms, as well as some coarse cloth skirts, girls who show off large areas of skin to attract guests, and of course, carefree children playing chase games and slow-moving old people.

In addition to being a trading port and an industrial port, Alexandria is also a fishing port, and the area where Bai Ge is located is near the fishing port, and the air is filled with the fishy smell of seafood, mixed with a little grilled fish mixed with spices, the umami of oyster soup, and the oil aroma of fish and chips.

The White Singer was holding a small note with the address that Raflanzer had told him.

At the same time, Bai Ge also roughly recalled Rafflanzer's explanation.

"The Book of Wrath is different from the Book of Solutions, the Book of Answers is a monster book that will only show the transcendence after the holder uses it, but the Book of Wrath is a monster book that will actively affect the holder, in many cases, this book is called the Book of Wealth, because as long as you hold this book, you will get a steady stream of wealth opportunities, but at the same time, it will also cause your character to become extremely irritable, hehe, it is precisely because of this setting that the stories on the "Book of Anger" are usually contradictory and intense, The conflict is obvious, and I don't really like this kind of story. ”

This is how the blonde with long hair and green eyes describes The Book of Wrath.

"Angry......

Bai Ge politely inquired about passers-by and found the address.

It was a store that had not yet opened its doors and was called "Grant Machinery Store".

According to Bai Ge's knowledge, this kind of shop can be regarded as a characteristic of Pan Xihai, because they sell not ordinary refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines and other household appliances, but alchemy dolls-related equipment.

In addition to parts replacement, repair, and upgrades, some of these mechanical stores will also provide cheap upgrade module downloads, and these upgrade modules will require at least hundreds to thousands of pounds of upgrade costs if they use official channels, which is not a simple computer system upgrade, but a new function such as a cooking module, a gardening module, a special service module, etc.

For example, the emotion module, the alchemy figure that can be equipped with this module will cost at least five thousand pounds to upgrade, while in the mechanical goods store, it will only cost a few dozen pounds.

Of course, if it's all cracked versions, there will naturally be some problems.

In the past, there has been news that alchemy dolls who have upgraded the cracked version of the emotional module have become extremely paranoid, believing that all women who approach their masters are vixens and thus hindering them, and also imprisoning their masters in the room to take care of them, this is the problem with the cracked version.

However, there are also spherical joint enthusiasts who like this experience very much, so they specially try the cracked version, and even developed a special cracked version.

These are actually gray areas of the law.

"You should be able to make a lot of money by opening this kind of shop in this place."

Contrary to the traditional impression, the area where alchemy dolls in Alexandria are most used is not the southern part of the residential area, but the port area, except for the school town.

Most of the physical work here is handed over to the alchemy dolls, and the human beings only do management and command, and there are a large number of industrial-type alchemy dolls, in addition, the residents of the southern district are relatively financially relaxed, which can support the upgrade cost of the genuine module, while the port area, the alchemy puppets with low income and similar functions can only use the cracked version.

In addition, there are some alchemy dolls whose core programs have been cracked, and these alchemy dolls have been removed from the network function to avoid being discovered, and their upgrades also need to rely on such shops.

Therefore, if you can open a store in Minato Ward, you will definitely earn a lot of money.

But to be able to open a business here, you also have to have strength and background, otherwise, the gang-infested Minato Ward will soon teach you how to behave.

Knock Knock Knock –

Bai Ge knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.

According to the information, the owner of this shop is called Deke Grant, forty-six years old, single, with a semi-mechanical body, and has been operating a shop in Minato for more than twenty years.

"Grant hasn't been in business since the day before yesterday, and I don't know where he went."

Next door, the shopkeeper who sold fried fish saw this, raised his mouth, and put on a commercial smile.

"Sir, would you like to try our pan-fried fish cakes, which are quite delicious with bread?"

Due to the relatively hard work and large consumption of the port, most of the food in the port area is heavy on oil and salt, mainly fried, mixed with a large amount of staple starch.

"Not open?"

Bai Ge declined the other party's sales pitch, looked at the door of this Grant Machinery Store, and thought for a moment.

He pulled out a coin and, without anyone noticing, tossed it lightly through the crack in the door into the shop.

Then, taking advantage of the busy time of people coming and going, he dodged into an alley.

[Vanishing Magic].

Bai Ge instantly entered the store.

As soon as he entered, Bai Ge quickly confirmed his surroundings through [Assassin Vision].

The store space is not small, but it is very crowded and cluttered, with various alchemy dolls on the iron shelves against the wall, and even discarded alchemy dolls, and the posters on the wall are quite contemporary, from the original antiques showing spherical joints to the new models that are highly realistic today.

On the counter are circuit boards, chips, and containers with simulant organs in the bubbling liquid, which looks a little scary under the light of fluorescent lights, and the cold wind of the air conditioner makes the already cold room even harsher, and people can't help but shrink their necks.

The whole shop was very dark and empty, but Bai Ge still captured some strange places.

"Traces of a fight...... No, a one-sided struggle. ”

He saw the parts scattered on the ground and the body of the alchemy doll, and quickly deduced that it was a similar robbery.

At the same time, there was a smell of corruption in the air.

Soon, Bai Ge saw the owner of this shop, who was also the theoretical owner of the Book of Wrath.

He's dead.

Due to the winter, confined environment, and the effects of air conditioning, Deke Grant did not rot too badly, only the stench of posthumous incontinence.

After confirming that there was no one else in the room, Bai Ge decisively took out his mobile phone and dialed Sheriff Victor.

At this time, it is most reasonable to call the police.

Sheriff Victor, who received Bai Ge's call, was also confused.

Didn't Yassen Hercule say that he was going to work at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina from Monday to Thursday?

It's Tuesday, right?

Why did he find a body in Minato?

？？？

When Sergeant Victor first entered the industry, he heard a few words from his seniors.

The seniors said that some people, you see that he has repeatedly solved big cases, and it seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is not.

They are powerful because they have the physique to attract events.

Ordinary people can only encounter a few bad incidents in three or five years, or even a few years, and they will encounter them frequently in a year, or even a few months.

Even if you can't solve it every time, as long as the number goes up, then you can become a detective.

Of course, there is also a counter-argument that this theory will have a reputation for, and more and more clients will go to the detective, leading to the fact that he can choose to solve big cases.

Anyway, judging by Yassen Hercule's ability to encounter events so far, he has the potential to be a famous detective.

From the beginning of [Orient Express], to the murder on the Clios, the Williams incident, the ABC serial murders, and the assassination of Diego Wordsworth, he has been more or less involved, at least as an experiencer.

"Follow him, maybe I'll have a few years shorter......"

Sergeant Victor laughed at himself, put on his coat, picked up an umbrella, and led people to the scene.

And Bai Ge, after calling the police to rule out his suspicion first, he took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, put on gloves, and squatted down to briefly check Deke Grant's body.

The time of death was supposed to be two to three days, and the cause of death was intracranial hemorrhage from a blow or blow to the head, traces of rope binding on his hands, and extensive abrasions, bruises from the impact, and it is clear that he had been beaten and restrained before his death.

"And this trace ......"

Bai Ge found some unusual bruises on Deke Grant's body, as if he was being grabbed by the palm of his hand, but the palm of an ordinary human could not cause such a shape of traces.

It's more like ......

"Alchemy dolls, or industrial palms."

Because the hands of industrial alchemy dolls often need to carry things, the friction will be much greater than that of ordinary simulation types, and very special lines will appear on the skin.

Bai Ge got up, looked at the money on the counter, Deke Grant's room, and found that there were signs of turning, and the money should be some missing, but Bai Ge's intuition told him that this was not a robbery, but just a murder that wanted to disguise itself as a robbery.

Of course, Bai Ge also looked for it, but did not find the existence of the Book of Wrath.

"The alchemy puppet kidnapped Deke Grant and stole the Book of Wrath?"

This inference is a bit bizarre, whether it is the alchemy puppet crime or the fact that they took the Book of Wrath, it is too strange, and Bai Ge decides to wait for Sheriff Victor to come over and investigate carefully.

At this moment, the intuition of Bai Ge's shadow archetype told him to open an inconspicuous notebook on the shelf.

In the notebook, a sentence was written in messy handwriting.

"They're alive!!"
