Klein and Hugh knew who I really was, and they had always been impressed with my "erudition" and had long contributed to my "polymath" potion digestion, so this "feedback" would not have come from them.

"The Sun" is in the Land of God's Forsaken, and it is impossible to find out that "Doctor Strange" appeared in the "Serial Killer Incident" in Tingen through the flaws I deliberately left at the Tarot meeting.

Therefore, only Audrey and Alger are the most likely to ...... Hehe, if it's the latter, he must have figured out the meaning of what I said when I left the Blue Avenger.

Thinking of this, the corners of Abner's mouth hooked slightly, and his mood became happy. This is not only to think of the "funny" expression that Mr. "Hanged Man" may exude, but also to rejoice in the success of his "experiment".

After all, in this way, after each "tarot meeting", he can bring him a lot of "feedback" for the role...... Although the effect is still not as expected, "no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat"!

However, for the role of "Erudito", Abner is still focusing on the identity of "Doctor Strange", and he also has a preliminary plan...... Especially after Edwina taught herself the secret art of "Edwards' Séance", which she had developed herself.

Just as Abner was thinking about his thoughts, Mr. Gaston. Miss Gwen and the others also disembarked, and the sailors of the "Allenheim" hurried to the taverns and brothels of the town.

It is to be expected that the fame and deeds of Miss Gwen as "Lady Longwei" will soon spread in Damir.

As for other more important events, such as the news that the five detachments of the "Immortal King" have all suffered heavy losses, and even the death of three fleet commanders, I am afraid that it will take a while longer to brew before it really spreads...... After all, when it comes to the "pirate king", there are not too many people who really dare to blatantly "gossip" before there is definite news.

……

Beckland, Minsk Street, Klein put down the scissors, looked at the three very crude paper figures he had cut out in front of him, sighed helplessly, but still folded them, hid them in a stack of sticky notes, and put them in his pocket—no matter how ugly they were, they didn't affect their use, and they couldn't be wasted.

Just as he was about to go out to the nearest circus to watch a show, looking for ideas for the "magician" to play, the doorbell suddenly rang, and the sound of jingling bells echoed pleasantly.

"Entrustment? My ad should be off the shelves......" Crane, dressed in a shirt with a crisp neckline and a thin, warm sweater, walked to the door and shook the handle.

At the same time, the image of the visitor naturally came to mind in his mind:

It was a man in his thirties, with a strong body, and the muscles in his arms were so tight that he felt powerful at first glance.

Dressed in blue workers' clothes, the expression on his face is also worried and anxious, and he doesn't look like a gangster or some secret organization...... It should be a skilled worker or a terminal manager with a decent income.

Klein muttered, opening the door without a warning reaction to his own inspiration.

"Good afternoon, excuse me, are you Detective Moriarty?" The muscular man asked after greeting him politely.

Sure enough, I didn't come to look for trouble...... So it's really ...... Client?

While guessing in his heart, Klein smiled and nodded, "Good afternoon, I'm Sherlock Moriarty, do you have anything to entrust me?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Detective," said the man in the blue overalls, barely squeezing out a smile, "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Thomas Corson, the vice president of the Bayam Dockyard Union, and I would like to entrust you with one thing......"

There are a number of marinas in Beckland, most of which are zoned into the docklands and are named various "docks".

Crane felt that talking at the door was not hospitality, so he interrupted the other party's words and smiled and moved out of the way: "Please come in." ”

Thomas also reacted, entered with some restraint, and sat down on the sofa cautiously, posing very respectfully.

This man doesn't seem to be a little confident...... looks so strong, but in character it seems inferior......

With this in mind, Crane took out a copper penny and expertly rolled and swirled it at his fingertips, while asking, "What is it?" ”

Thomas's face was a little tangled, and it took a long time before he sighed, plucked up his courage and said:

"I'd like to ask you to investigate a strange thing...... That's why my wife would file for divorce from me without warning...... Even if she would return to a relatively embarrassing life because of this, she would still refuse to give up this idea......"

This...... It's not that you have a problem, or that she's looking for a home, right? Could it be another task to catch rape? It's a pity that this time there is no "bodyguard" lady to suppress the flash of the camera...... Of course, looking at the net worth of this Mr. Thomas, it is estimated that he is reluctant to provide a camera.

After complaining a few words inside, Klein asked unhurriedly on the surface: "Please forgive me, is this some of your own actions that caused your wife to misunderstand?" For example, having a close relationship with a certain lady? ”

"No...... I have to arrange for the workers to take over the work every day, from morning to night, and I have no time or energy...... What's more, with my work environment, I don't have the opportunity to meet the lady at all. Thomas said in the affirmative.

"And what is the reason why your wife wants to divorce you?" Klein frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Thomas was silent for two seconds, and said with difficulty:

"She said that I was always angry with her, not only with a bad attitude, but also always hitting her when she was in a bad mood and forcibly when she didn't want to...... That ......"

Sir, if that's the case, then I really hope that your wife and you divorce as soon as possible, as an outsider I think you are too much...... Klein's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't really want to take over the commission anymore.

Thomas, on the other side, seemed to be in some kind of emotion at this moment, and continued as if venting:

"I'll admit it, what she said was true. It was I who was angry with her after I was wronged at work...... But, the change in her attitude is very abnormal...... In the past, she would bear it silently, after all, I am not like that every day, and I also love my family...... But in the last two weeks, she has suddenly become more and more extreme, and more and more unbearable to me, even if I haven't done it again in the past two weeks......

"And as far as I know, it's not just my family, many colleagues, and even the nearby dockyard have rumors of a divorce from someone's wife......

"So I wonder if some organization is secretly bewitching them? And if my wife really left me, her quality of life would inevitably decline a lot, and she might even go bankrupt because of it...... Could this be what those people want?

"I'm sure those who cheat on my wife will not be well-intentioned!"

If you're not sure if someone is really plotting behind it, you're convicting someone? Or maybe your wife really doesn't want to put up with it anymore?

However, if many families were in crisis at the same time, it could be a conspiracy...... Well, it's worth investigating......

Thinking of this, Klein stood up and bowed slightly:

"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Entering the bathroom, he silently recited the divination phrase: "Thomas Corson's wife is plotting a third party to file for divorce. ”

After seven times, he tossed the bronze penny in his hand and let it fall back into his palm.

Klein glanced at it, and it was the front, indicating that there was indeed someone who was agitating for the wives of the docklands workers to divorce.

But what's the point of the people behind it?

Klein frowned, untied the citrine pendant on his cuffs, and used the "Spirit Pendulum Method" to divinate again to investigate whether this matter was dangerous to him.

The result is dangerous, but small.

Nodding, Klein came out of the bathroom, sat back on the couch, and said, "I can accept the commission, but this matter may be dangerous, and the cost will not be low." ”

"10 pounds! Just find out the reason behind it, I can pay 10 pounds! If my wife changes her mind because of this, I can pay you another £5 as a thank-you gift. ”

Mr. Thomas gritted his teeth and said that the money was made up by several men who had problems in the dockyard family, and someone even helped him share the work, so he had time to find the detective.

10 pounds, which is equivalent to more than a week's salary of Mr. Summerer next door...... Although this Mr. Thomas is a scumbag, his worries about his wife are also real...... If you care, why hurt?

Sighing secretly, Klein preliminarily confirmed from the other party's emotional color that he was not lying. So he smiled slightly: "Deal!" ”

……

In Damir Harbor, Abner, who had followed Mr. Gaston back to school, returned to his house with another payment for the trip, the "Azure Brooch".

He looked at the time and found that it was close to four o'clock, when he was close to the blue star, so he tried to hold a "séance ceremony" to communicate with the "Iceberg Admiral" and ask if the interception that day was successful.

He easily depicted the emblem of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", an all-knowing eye on an open book, and arranged the corresponding altar.

Inside the spiritual wall, he lit a candle and took the hydrosol of lavender and mint and dripped it on the quietly burning flame.

Although with a certain "tacit understanding" between him and the god of knowledge, these steps to please the other party should be omitted, but since there is no shortage of this material money now, there is still a sense of ritual.

After doing all this, he took a step back and said in the ancient Hermetian language:

"I pray for the power of knowledge;

"I pray for the power of reason;

"I pray for the favor of the God of wisdom;

"I pray that you will allow me to communicate with the spirit of 'Mentor in pursuit of knowledge, researcher of spirit creatures, Lieutenant General of the Iceberg above the sea, Edwina Edwards from Remberg'."

……

Woo!

As the incantation echoed, the altar suddenly became gloomy, and the flames of the three candles shook in unison, dyed with a pale light green!

The "Pure White Eye" opened on its own at this point, sending a message that a spirit was invading his body.

Abner had expected this. Through the original work, he knew early on that the essence of the so-called "séance ritual" was to let go of his body, let the target's star spirit body attach, and complete effective communication......

However, through previous meetings and conversations, he believes that the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Adevina is not a person with malicious intentions, and with the "God of Knowledge" watching, he can still be trusted.

Of course, more importantly, Abner with the "Pure White Eye" is not without resistance, for example, at this time, he can prevent Edwina from completely descending, and only open his right hand and right ear to her to use.

Then he saw his right hand suddenly raised, grabbed the pen he had prepared, and wrote quickly on the paper:

"Maria is out of danger, she knows what Doctor Strange has done, and asked me to thank you on her behalf."

The words are delicate and artistic, and they are very different from Abner's own style.

Guessing what I want to ask...... Abner thought for a moment and asked directly, "What about the 'Lion of the Finx'?" ”

After a second or two, he wrote with a brush on his right hand: "She said that she would send someone to help you find it, but she is afraid that she will not have time to hunt it, so she can only tell you the approximate location." ”

"There's no problem with that." Abner said happily. As long as you have a specific location, with your own means, it is not a big problem to kill a transcendent creature that is not a demigod.

After hovering his right hand for a few seconds, he wrote: "If you want to go to the Southern Continent, you can choose to take the 'Golden Dream', I am very happy to take the opportunity to exchange some knowledge with you." ”

After writing, Abner felt that the cold aura in his body suddenly disappeared, obviously the time of the "séance" had reached its limit, and the other party unilaterally ended the ceremony.

……

In the dock area, after visiting several families in a row, Klein frowned again and said to himself silently:

"Why are all the followers of the Storm Lord who are in trouble?"
