[Curse Moon] obviously didn't want to say more, Su Xian even suspected that his message was sent in groups, after all, he cast a wide net and collected more fish.

And he seemed to be busy, and after just a few more conversations, he didn't reply.

But from these few conversations, Su Xian had a preliminary impression of this [Curse Moon].

He didn't look like a person who would induce fear, and he was well-spoken and clearly highly educated.

He must be not young, and talking to him has the feeling of talking to Professor Barker.

In addition, even if this [Curse Moon] is not a member of the Relic Society, it should be related to the Relic Society, and he is in a hurry to deal with the incident related to the "Snake of History", but he obviously does not know much about the "Snake of History".

……

And because of the appearance of the "clown", Su Xian basically didn't doubt him, so he didn't look at him with a biased eye.

……

After thinking for a while, Su Xian prepared to close the "Book of Night Crows".

But before that, another message emerged from the book.

[Cursed Moon → Eternal]: I forgot to remind you that the sacrificial circle you asked me about before, and someone else came to ask me.

Su Xian was slightly stunned, and hurriedly unfolded the "Book of Night Crows" and wrote on the paper: "Who is it?" ”

[Curse Moon → Eternal]: A businessman, I can't say much about the specifics, I'm sorry.

Eternal → Curse Moon: No, thank you for notifying me. I'll try to look into the information about the Serpent of History and let you know if there's a catch.

[Curse Moon → Eternal]: Thank you.

[Eternal → Curse Moon]: All friends.

……

"There's a merchant who got another piece of parchment? But that's probably not bad news. ”

Su Xian completely closed the "Book of Night Crows" this time, and he was in a good mood.

It is obviously beneficial to have a good relationship with this [Curse Moon].

Wait a few days and give him some information about the Serpent of History, and maybe even more information about the merchant.

Although this probability is low.

But in any case, it's not okay to rush it.

After all, people have to be reserved.

When he was packing his things, he looked up at his calendar.

Sunday, July 21.

A great time to open a store.

But it's all the same, it's all fishing anyway, and those who wish to take the bait.

……

As a result, at the end of the day, I didn't catch a customer, but I caught a detective.

"Detective Kebei, where are you going to be happy again?"

Looking at the Kebei detective with cat ears on his head and lipstick marks on his face, Su Xian looked helpless.

Detective Kebei pulled a chair and sat down, and sighed deeply: "Sir, I went to investigate the clues of the masquerade, and the result was ......"

Su Xian: "As a result, I strayed into a real masquerade again?" ”

Detective Kebei said with a sad face: "Isn't it? I thought that the man dressed as a vampire count would lead me to the real clues, but I didn't expect him to go around for a long time and still touch through the back door of a bar. What I didn't expect was that it was still a men's bar! ”

Su Xian was stunned suddenly: "Wait, what bar?" ”

Detective Corbe: "It's a bar that's only accessible to men!" ”

Maya, bar!

Su Xian looked at the lipstick marks on Detective Kebei's face, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and couldn't help but say, "I'm glad to see you again tonight." ”

Detective Kebei: "You don't know how much dignity I lost in order to escape, those people ......"

"Wait, wait, wait." Su Xian hurriedly stopped, "You don't have to tell me so much detail. And I have told you very clearly that your commission is over, and this is not something for you to meddle in. ”

Detective Kebei smiled bitterly at the moment: "I know now." ”

After saying that, he stood up, pouted his ass and walked out of the store, the bleak and lonely back was sad.

When he walked to the door, Su Xian suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly said: "Wait, you come back, I have a new commission here, can you accept it?" ”

Detective Kebei immediately turned around and said, "What commission?" ”

Su Xian said: "Mars is still in the hospital? ”

Kebei shook his head: "He has been discharged from the hospital, and I saw him return to the detective agency this morning." I don't know what he thinks, it's clear that his injuries haven't healed...... By the way, I heard that he went out with you that night? ”

"Have you been discharged from the hospital?"

Su Xian did not answer Kebei's question positively: "I now entrust you to investigate Mars Frank and report to me his future trips, can you accept it?" ”

Kebei frowned and said without thinking, "This is not in accordance with the rules, sir. ”

"It's okay." Su Xian said, "We can put it another way. I've entrusted you with secretly protecting and helping Mars, and now it's all right, right? ”

Kebei said helplessly: "Sir, you are so cunning. ”

Su Xian pointed to his brain: "This is called smart." ”

"Mars wants to continue with the shelved commission, but Lady Alice is not around, and he really needs an assistant," Corbean said. ”

Su Xian said: "Yes, the commissions he accepted before should be quite difficult, right?" Now that Alice is gone, I don't even think he can complete any of these commissions. If left unchecked, he will soon collapse. ”

Corbe suddenly asked, "Sir, do you know where Lady Alice has gone?" ”

Su Xian: "Of course I know, but Mars also knows. When you become his most trusted assistant, maybe he will tell you himself. ”

Kobei wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

Su Xian finally said: "You are a very capable detective, and it is not a good choice for you to become an assistant to another detective, so I ask you in the name of commission." May I? ”

Kebei nodded: "Yes." ”

……

The night is not young.

Kebei accepted a new commission and left the Rare Treasure Antiquities Shop.

Su Xian can be regarded as temporarily letting go of a matter of concern.

He then closed the door and began to prepare for the masquerade.

The Frederick family is a big family across the political and business circles in Brut City, the old earl is in charge, and the current family is in charge of business, and their power is all over the big and small circles, so it is natural to be handy in investigating intelligence.

The masquerade is certainly strange, but since even ordinary civilians can witness it, it is basically impossible to hide the investigation of the Frederick family if the secrecy measures are not done well.

In this case, all Su Xian has to do now is to recharge his energy and quietly wait for that day to come.

But things went a little faster than he had imagined.

Just one day later, when the calendar flipped to July 23, the carriage with the Frederick family logo stopped in front of the Rare Antiquities Shop.

An old gentleman in a suit got out of the carriage and walked into the store.

Su Xian searched his memory and knew that this was the old butler of the Frederick family, named Segis.

At the invitation of Séges, he got into a carriage and went to the Frederick's current mansion.
