Chapter 36: Approaching (Asking for Collection Recommendation)

Sherlock had a headache when he heard the name "Malfoy".

It's too late to hide, and the other party still wants to come looking for it?

"I have what he needs?"

Sherlock looked confused, feeling a toothache, stomach pain, and frozen shoulder......

"Does the captain know what it is?" Sherlock hastened to ask.

"Don't you know?" Reintes stared at Sherlock with gray-blue eyes.

Sherlock could only shake his head helplessly, after all, there was a lack of memory.

"A week ago, you went out with Malfoy three times, and even left the city of Birzinham to go to some hidden place in the suburbs, and did something we are still tracking."

Hearing Rheintes's words, Sherlock was even more helpless.

"Captain, if I say this memory, I have completely forgotten it...... Can you believe it? Sherlock said, showing his most sincere attitude.

"I can believe it for the time being." Reintes smiled and nodded.

Hey, it's so easy to gain trust? Sherlock looked at Reintes suspiciously, but didn't know what to say.

"When you met Malfoy at Solomon's Esoteric Club, I knew something was wrong with you."

With a smile, Reintes put away the signed contract on the table, sorted out the paper and pen, and said flatly:

"Based on what we know about your investigation, and what Professor Hoffman says about you. In that case, not only did you not continue to follow Malfoy, but you also volunteered to cooperate with our investigation. ”

"I even received a letter from Professor Hoffman, and I was seriously prepared, came to apply, and signed the employment contract."

Reintes crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, staring at Sherlock with gray-blue eyes:

"It all shows that you do have a strange change. But for now, the change is acceptable. The fact that you have been able to talk to me safely and soundly under the gaze of the Wall of Emblems is enough to prove that you are a normal person and that you are not crazy out of control. ”

Sherlock: "......"

Unexpectedly, cooperating with the investigation, being introduced by Professor Hoffmann for a job, eating breakfast next to the Wall of Emblems, etc., are all intentional temptations by Rheintes.

"Well, Captain, there are some things that I must answer truthfully. Here's how it happened......"

Sherlock took a deep breath and told Rheintes in detail about how he woke up in the bathroom, realized that he had attempted suicide, felt scared, and had forgotten his memories for nearly three months.

“...... As soon as I had packed everything up, Mr. Rooney broke in, and he was involved in the rest of the process. Then, the rest of the story, you'll be clear. ”

Sherlock continued to show the utmost sincerity, and finished his earnest speech.

"Well, I have to say, you can survive, it's the greatest luck." Reintes smiled and nodded:

"Rooney told me about your doubts, and now these doubts have verified the results of your successful survival. After all, on Malfoy's side, all the participants except you are dead, and not a single one is left. ”

"What does the captain mean is that there is indeed some kind of strange power in my house? Affected my suicide? Sherlock asked, curious.

"It still needs to collect evidence, it will take time, but you don't have to rush."

Ryantes said soothingly, "As long as you're alive, as long as you're still working in the Order Hunter Squad, then none of this is a problem. There will always be a day when it will be resolved, and it won't be long before you can start a new life with confidence. ”

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief, and finally closed the page.

"Captain, what do you think I have in me that Malfoy needs?" Sherlock asked again.

"Knowledge, perhaps unique to you, Malfoy relies on yours."

As he spoke, Rheintes suddenly opened the drawer and, with a measured attitude, pulled out an old yellowed piece of paper from a mezzanine file.

"As far as we know, Malfoy holds some untold secrets. Among them, there is this one. ”

Reintes handed the yellowed scrap of paper to Sherlock:

"As far as we can tell, Malfoy wants to use this password hint to find an ancient ruin. That is, about the 'Mad King. Solomon's Secret. ”

Sherlock's mind fluctuated strangely, and he stared at the old piece of paper.

Really!

Just as he imagined!

On the old yellowed pieces of paper, eight crooked Chinese Simplified Chinese are written:

"There is no joy in fighting with God!"

"It's ...... What the? Sherlock asked, looking up, quietly, in a puzzled tone.

"The most mysterious and obscure font in the transcendent world, called the '824 password'."

"You can't read it, it's normal!"

Reintes smiled, retrieved the old piece of paper from Sherlock's hand, and carefully locked it in a drawer.

"At our request, Professor Hoffman was involved in the study of this cipher font. But alas, nothing was found. However, he once said that during your college years, you had an unusual talent for analyzing many ancient characters, so he introduced you to apply. ”

"And you've been involved in Malfoy's secret expeditions many times before that. So we think you're probably getting some useful knowledge that causes Malfoy to become a little dependent on you. ”

"It's a pity that my memory is a little missing...... Sherlock said as he rubbed his temples and said with some annoyance, "otherwise I would have remembered and cooperated with you in solving this case!" ”

"If you are not in a hurry, you will not be able to reach it quickly." Reintes shook his head and said in a calm voice, "Malfoy has no intention of leaving Birzinham, so we still have time to track it down." ”

"Does the captain mean that I want to try to get closer to Malfoy?" Sherlock asked in a whisper.

"On the premise of being on the safe side, you can think about it, and you need time." Reintes looked at Sherlock with sincerity and nodded.

"Well, I'll do my best. If something happens, I will notify everyone as soon as possible so that I don't put myself in danger. ”

Sherlock also regained his composure and gave his own statement.

......

Da, da, da, da, the footsteps resounded on the wooden staircase.

Reintes took Sherlock out of the basement and returned to the outer room.

"Rooney, Origan, you've seen it. They are full members of the Order's Demon Hunter Squad and are in charge of field work. ”

"Mrs. Grell in the Outer Reception Hall, a retired legal counsel at the City Hall, was hired by us to do the front desk counseling. Well, she's a respectable and reliable woman who takes care of our squad's day-to-day finances. ”

Reintes whispered as he led Sherlock through another passage, and said as he went:

"Next, I will introduce you to Van Tucker, who is an external security inspector in the office area, but also a trainer, a purchaser, and occasionally a field and church liaison work, and is a good partner to be relied upon!"

"You'll deal with him the most in the future, because ......"

Rheintes was still talking, when suddenly a loud voice sounded like thunder outside the door:

"Hey, Captain! Is it a newcomer? We should have hired someone a long time ago, and if we continue to do this, I won't be able to print a business card with the title and part-time job on my head! ”

With the voice, a tall, burly figure squeezed through the door and beckoned to Reintes and Sherlock.

"I'm rubbing, it's a big ......"

Sherlock looked up, and his eyelids jumped.

The person who came was two meters tall, burly and wide, and couldn't even fit the door, so he needed to squeeze in.

Rheintes is already considered tall, close to 1.9 meters. But because of the gentleman's temperament and moderate size, it doesn't look aggressive, so it doesn't look very tall.

But the man was a head taller than Reintes, dressed in the gray canvas pocket overalls that the workers often wore, and his broad chest and belly were so swollen that they almost burst the old garment.

He has thick eyebrows and deep eyes, a large nose and thick lips, and a large dark brown beard that is fluffy from the bottom of his jaw to the neck. But the hairline recedes, and the head looks a little bald, so the appearance looks a little vicious.

"Meet me, Van Tucker, Orderly's Squad Safety Inspector, Trainer, Purchaser, Field Service and Liaison, hehe!"

Van Tucker stretched out his large, five-fingered hand and looked at Sherlock with a smile.

"Sherlock. Kidd, nice to meet you! Sherlock greeted politely, stretched out his hand and shook it, finally understanding what a punching bag big fist was.

Rheintes smiled:

"Van Tucker is a straightforward person, you will know each other more in the future. If you don't understand anything at work, you can go directly to him. ”

"I heard that I want to vacate the house, it's for you, right? Sherlock, come with me, just in time to clean up. ”

Van Tucker waved his hand and took Reintes and Sherlock out the door.

It is a small birch forest, as well as an area dotted with small colorful flowers, a mix of grass tiling and masonry dirt roads. An ordinary brick and wood structure tile house, quietly located in it.

Ropes and homemade railings are used around to create a flat area for resting and walking. A few sheep were grazing leisurely, a few chickens and geese were walking as if no one was around, and a few little black pigs were humming and chirping in the soil not far away.

It is not far from the office building, not far from the outside street, and not far from the utility room such as the chicken coop and dog house on the other side, which is equivalent to the middle area.

"How? Satisfied! ”

"Hahaha...... This is my favorite cabin in the woods, and if you build an arrow tower next to it, you won't be afraid of any enemies! Glance! ”

Van Tucker proudly introduced the surroundings, looking happier than Sherlock.

Sherlock couldn't have been more satisfied, and thanked him repeatedly.

It's hard to imagine a place like this, with such an independent and undisturbed place, a comfortable environment, and a middle ground where you can anticipate danger in advance.

"Take a tour."

Van Tucker acted as a host, taking Regentes and Sherlock on a tour.

The furnishings in the house are relatively simple, with only a few tables, chairs and wooden beds, but they are fairly clean. Two bedrooms and one living room, independent bathroom, and a separate small staircase up to the half-floor platform with a panoramic view.

"What do you think?" Reintes turned to Sherlock and asked.

"Thank you so much, I'm very satisfied!" Sherlock thanked the two of them.

"Then it's decided. Moving, and what you need to buy, talk to Van Tucker and he can help you. ”

"I wish you a happy work life in advance! I'll go out and come back to see you in the evening if I have time, goodbye. ”

Reintes nodded, and walked out.

Van Tucker stared back at Sherlock and smiled:

"Tell me, what essentia transcendent are you? Or we can do some research and take a trip to the black market to learn about the material...... Haha......"

"I'm not extraordinary......" Sherlock smiled awkwardly but politely.

"What??" Van Tucker was stunned.
