Coming out of 221B, it was already evening, and the tall chimneys that were spewing smoke from the sky left a long shadow on the ground, covering half of the city, and Magellan put his hand in his pocket and left Baker Street.

On the way, Magellan passed by the vegetable market, he put his hand in his pocket, felt the key of his tongue, and finally gave up. There were no high-end ingredients he could afford, and Magellan began to miss spending time in the wilderness with Chef Pico.

At night, Magellan slept late, like a child who had found a new toy, and he was so happy that he didn't want to sleep.

He carefully recalled the clues that the octopus pattern might have been related to, and realized that he might have missed a lot of things, such as how many guests he should have asked the boss how many guests had come in the morning.

Magellan also didn't scrutinize the pattern, which might have given him an idea of what the "tools of the crime" were.

It's like a detective game, and Magellan finds himself finding the most useless clue.

"Interesting ......"

In the middle of the night, that dream came as scheduled.

Magellan rushed out of the water, greedily breathing in the air, and then he saw a bright and shining treasure.

It was a silver cup, encrusted with precious stones, and on the front was a huge diamond that radiated a brilliant flame in the light, which was suffocating......

When he woke up from the dream, Magellan looked at the city of Ruidu shrouded in thick fog outside the window, recalled the treasures in the dream, and couldn't help but smile.

"It turns out that I am so greedy for money, I am so simple and unpretentious. ”

After a brief breakfast, he went straight to the Grand Royal Library.

In the solemn hall of the library, Magellan met many acquaintances, and the Royal Society used to arrange meetings here, and many scholars would come here to consult materials.

However, Magellan didn't come this time to check the information, he asked the front desk, and luckily, the pirate novel was just returned yesterday.

Magellan greeted his acquaintances and headed straight for the popular fiction section.

There, he saw Skull Island as he wished.

Hastily flipping through the book, Magellan found his target in the book, an octopus wrapped around a sword with tentacles. That's exactly what the old John's tavern counter was on.

"Well, interesting. ”

Magellan flipped the book to the back cover and took out the borrowing notes in a small paper bag.

"Jack Sparrow, well, a pirate captain who loves to learn......"

He took the book with him, went downstairs to the hall, and found the registrar with whom he had the best relationship.

"Hi dude Rose, do you remember this Jax Sparrow?"

"Of course," Rose, who had white hair and monocles, replied with a smile, "I have to say, almost everyone remembers." ”

Several of the other registrars on the side laughed.

"It's a shame you weren't here, Professor Magellan, for it's not everyday to see fancy dresses. ”

"I've never seen such a strange outfit in my life. ”

Magellan smiled: "What a strange method?"

"Arala-style hair wrapping, but the cloth is all black and dirty, Arella's black braids, with that white face, thin and tall, can almost meet the needs of three reporters. ”

"That would be a shame, if only I had been here. Magellan had just the right amount of pity on his face.

"I have a neighbor who seems to have seen him on Wharf South Street, and that can't be wrong. ”

"yes, no one would mistake someone like that. ”

Everyone laughed.

Magellan left the Great Library and headed straight for the quayside south of the city.

There is an avenue leading from the pier to the city center, and this avenue is flanked by streets, the closest to the pier are Pier South Street and Pier West Street.

Magellan found a little beggar on the dock and took out a golden Victoria and threw it in front of him in a torn hat.

The little beggar looked up in surprise and saw that it was Magellan, and smiled openly, revealing two rows of shiny teeth, which looked particularly white on his soot-stained face.

"Professor Magellan, you are such a good man!"

"There's a strange guy who came across South Street, with a gray and black cloth wrapped in his head, and an Arellanian braid, and you can't find it. ”

"You are such a good person, you must be blessed by the god of science, you must be able to find it!"

Magellan smiled and nodded: "Be clear, don't keep your tail." ”

"I'll do it, don't worry!"

Magellan left with a smile.

For the next few days, Magellan put the matter behind him and did not go to the docks again. He knew that such a person would be easy to find, but it would not be easy to find out the details.

In the past few days, the Countess who came back held a low-key dinner, and Magellan was also fortunate enough to be invited, and he got his wish to get a feast of his own chefs, and chatted with the Countess and Sir Cook for a while.

Sir Cook had been busy with the new archaeological team, and was almost done lately, and finally had time to see the Countess. They mentioned Magellan's recent strange dreams and encounters in the Black Forest, and Sir Cook decided not to allow Magellan to participate in the archaeology, and the latter agreed without much insistence.

Magellan brought up his speculation, and both Helen and the old professor thought it should be right, much to Professor Cook's heart.

In the middle of the conversation, Magellan asked about the countess's overseas trip, and she didn't say anything, except to mention that the trip was sponsored by the emperor.

Magellan changed the subject with interest, they chatted about the translation of ancient characters, and the dinner was over.

......

A week later.

Professor Cook left Brittania with a new archaeological team, along with several professors from the Academy of Magic. Before leaving, he specially sought out Magellan and asked him to stay in Ruidu to recuperate.

After Sir Cook left, Magellan finally waited for the news he wanted.

The little beggar had already "figured it out" Mr. Jack Sparrow.

On a sleepy afternoon, Magellan opened the door of a house on West Port Street with the key given to him by the little beggar.

This is an ordinary Bretanian house, and the only thing that is not ordinary is a wooden box that Magellan saw on the living room table. The box had an octopus and a sword on it.

Magellan had asked the little beggar that the owner of the house should not have known that Mr. Jackspalo had been here, though they might have been working for Professor Moriarty.

"What a thief meeting. ”

It wasn't the first time Magellan had done such a thing, he calmly took the box and closed the door with the heart to make a little joke on himself.

Back at home, he opened the wooden box.

"Huh?"
