[Meteorite]: Hey......

[Black Knight]: This sentence, this sentence, won my heart!

[Prophet] is always poked to the point, and his heart and lungs hurt!

Hell Worm: I just want to crawl out of Hell and get a glimpse of the sun.

Joan: Don't give up!

……

(•ิ_•ิ)?

Is there finally a new person appearing?

But what the hell is the Hell Worm? Are you so humble?

Can anyone other than the [Prophet] turn on the auto-reply?

Are all the people in this pen research club so mournful?

There is only [Joan], which makes people's hearts warm.

……

Seeing these replies appear one by one, Su Xian's mood was slightly complicated.

"I always feel that the style of this seminar is getting more and more wrong......"

Shaking his head, he put the "Book of Night Ravens" aside, then pulled a book from the bookshelf and continued to replenish his lack of knowledge.

Books are treasures that not only allow people to grow, but also to calm down and think carefully.

……

That night, after washing up carefully, he took out a white shirt, a pair of black trousers and a black tuxedo from the closet, then put on his clothes and walked two steps in front of the dressing mirror.

"Well, it's handsome, it's just something missing."

After a while, he found a bow tie and a gentleman's hat to put on, and sure enough, it was much more pleasing to the eye.

In addition to this, gentlemen attending banquets generally bring a civilized stick, that is, a walking stick. If you don't want to bring a cane, umbrellas and swords are great alternatives. I'll take that sword with me at tomorrow night's party. ”

After two more turns in front of the dressing mirror, he took off his clothes and hung them up, and went to bed early.

He had a hunch that something was going to happen at tomorrow's meeting, and he needed to keep his spirits up.

Alice Frank said she could see some future clips in her sleep, and she offered me to protect her husband, Mars Frank, at the party. She must have seen something, but it was inconvenient to say. Perhaps revealing the future is a taboo in itself. ”

……

When he woke up the next day, Su Xian opened the curtains and looked at it, the sky was cloudless outside, and the rising sun seemed to be hidden in the distance, only a hint of reddish was reflected in the air.

"I've been leaving a message on the Book of Night Ravens for three consecutive days, so let's put it down for the time being."

On this day, he neither opened nor ran around, just quietly reading books and newspapers in the store.

Today's "Today's Morning Post" really reported the occurrence of the tenth serial case of dried corpses, but unlike the previous nine, this issue of the newspaper clearly stated that the police had intervened in it, and declared that they would investigate the case clearly and punish the murderer with determination!

The photo of Haydn Jacob, a new police officer from the royal capital, appeared directly on the page, and the newspaper also mischievously accompanied him with a caption: "Can the sent hound smell blood?" ”

Seeing this, Su Xian couldn't help but shake his head: "The hound that was sent down? Is there something wrong in the police station in the royal capital? It should be serious, right? Otherwise, they would not have been sent to a lawless place like Brut City. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he put on the gown he had prepared last night, took the bronze mirror with him, and pinned his sword to his waist, and left the storefront, got into the carriage, and went to Professor Barker's villa.

Professor Buck was clearly geared up.

He changed into a more low-key suit, dressed like a housekeeper, and specially chose a black umbrella instead of a walking stick.

When Su Xian looked at the umbrella with a puzzled gaze, he smiled and said, "The air is a little humid, it is likely to rain tonight, be prepared." ”

Then he turned his eyes to Su Xian's sword.

Su Xian also smiled: "I have a hunch that something is likely to happen tonight, so be prepared." ”

Professor Buck smiled and picked up the umbrella, held the handle of the umbrella, pressed a button on the handle with his index finger, and then twisted it vigorously, and pulled out a thin sword from the handle of the umbrella!

"My umbrella sword is okay, right?"

He shook the sword in front of him, and then stabbed it in a stride, the tip of the sword instantly advanced, and then stopped instantly, revealing extraordinary swordsmanship skills.

"When I was younger, I didn't practice swordsmanship as fancy as you do now."

Then he retracted his sword, and stabbed it into the handle of the umbrella with great precision.

After a "click", the rapier returned to its place, and the umbrella was still the umbrella.

Su Xian couldn't help but be amazed: "It's still the professor's thoughtfulness." ”

Professor Buck touched his chin, revealing a bit of smugness: "Speaking of which, you haven't come to my place for dinner for a long time, I'll cook myself tonight, what do you want to eat?" ”

Su Xian thought for a while and asked, "Are there noodles?" ”

Professor Barker: "Absolutely. ”

……

Of course, there will be a lot of food and wine at the banquet, but there will always be people who take care of the image and only taste it, so they will eat something to fill their stomachs before attending the banquet.

Tonight's banquet has another consideration.

At about half past five, the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, put the bronze mirror and the ancient sword into wooden boxes, and then stepped into the rented carriage and drove towards Camellia Road.

Professor Buck plays the role of steward, and by the way, he also acts as a coachman.

Su Xian pinned the golden chrysanthemum badge to his chest and sat in the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly along the road, the sun faded and the sky grew darker.

At six o'clock, they came to the door of the three-eyed detective agency on Camellia Road.

As if she had foreseen their arrival, Alice waited at the door early.

Beside her stood a somewhat decadent man, who looked about thirty-five or sixteen, but was none other than Alice's husband, the "three-eyed detective" Mars Frank.

There was a clear difference in age between the two husbands and wives, but they still seemed quite affectionate, and they were still glued together just before the carriage came to the horse's mouth.

In comparison, Alice is more outgoing and active, and even the matter of welcoming Su Xian and Professor Buck into the detective agency is also done by her, and Mars just follows behind, like a bodyguard who follows him like a shadow.

But after the four of them entered the office and sat down to introduce each other to each other, Alice threw Mars in the office, and she ran downstairs with her skirt.

She's going to change her clothes.

There was still an hour before the banquet began, and the three big men were sitting in the office, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Su Xian broke the silence first: "Mr. Frank, I saw you in the newspaper, Three-Eyed Detective Mars, a big star who has been active in the detective community of Brut City recently. ”

Mars moved his fingers, as if trying to pull something out of his pocket, but eventually took a sip of the coffee on the table.

Later, he said: "It's not a big star, it's a detective." It's not a gentleman, you just call me Mars. ”

Su Xian smiled: "So, Mars, can I ask you a little question?" ”

Mars looked up at him for a moment, then said, "Ask." ”
