Chapter 136: The Wind Rises
Inside the house at 7 Pinster Street, North Bakerland.
Leonard, who had black hair and green eyes, personally made tea for the two visiting ladies and handed it to the coffee table in front of them, and then continued the topic at the door just now, he cleared his throat and said:
"Miss Moretti, you want to know about Detective Sherlock Moriarty?
"But I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't accept the commission of investigation.
"If there's anything you should do to a professional private investigator."
Melissa glanced expressionlessly at the man who had helped her family for more than half a month under various pretexts, and the meaning revealed in her eyes was obvious: "Liar! ”
Leonard naturally read this meaning, he coughed awkwardly, and then just as he wanted to say something more, he saw Melissa's chin slightly raised, her eyes slightly bent, and then said in a flat tone: "Mr. Leonard Mitchell, I already know that you are a 'night watchman'...... And Klein used to be too!
"Now, can you tell me the true cause of Crane's death?"
Hearing this, Leonard's eyes froze, and he looked at Hazel who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and looked at her with sharp eyes and asked, "You told Melissa about extraordinary knowledge?" How can you do that? She's just an ordinary person and shouldn't know this! ”
Hazel didn't answer immediately, she calmly put down her teacup, looked around, and praised sincerely: "It's really a powerful 'dream' ability, if I didn't have this arm, I would definitely not be able to detect it with my own 'decryption scholar' ability." ”
Seeing this, Leonard frowned and said solemnly again: "Answer my question, Miss Hazel!" ”
However, before Hazel could reply, Melissa on the side suddenly interjected: "Mr. Mitchell, please don't ask the teacher so much...... Moreover, you should answer my question first. ”
Leonard looked at her in surprise, his expression becoming more serious, he tilted his head slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then cast his eyes on the "badge" pinned to Melissa's chest that made people feel peaceful at first glance.
After staring at the badge for a long time, Leonard said helplessly, "Miss Moretti...... You've become extraordinary......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Hazel with an unkind face, and then continued, "You call her Sensei...... Did you become a 'thief'? ”
"No, I'm a 'generalist.'" Melissa shook her head, then rubbed the corners of her forehead with her hand, and said, "Mr. Mitchell, can you revoke the ability?" I don't have much spirituality, and I can't use the power of this badge all the time to stay awake in my dreams. ”
"Your brother and I are colleagues and friends...... So call me Leonard......" Leonard sighed, and then, without a word, Hézel and Melissa saw the scene around them shatter and disappear as if all glass had been broken at the same time.
The teacup that had been put down was returned to Häzel's hand.
"Then, Leonard...... Now that you know that I'm extraordinary, can you tell us a little bit about how Klein died? Melissa looked at Leonard and asked again.
Looking at the stubborn gaze of the girl in front of him, Leonard hesitated, but still did not tell him the details: "Regarding the cause of Klein's death, it involves confidentiality regulations, I can't tell you!" ”
Ince Zangwill is not an enemy that you little girl can face...... I'll take all the hatred on my shoulders! While thinking this in his heart, Leonard directly changed the subject: "As an official Extraordinary, I need to know where you got your 'Knowledgeable' potion...... Did this Miss Hézel give it to you? ”
Faced with this question, because she had received Abner's permission in advance, Melissa did not hide it, shook her head and said: "Although it was handed over to me by the teacher, this potion is actually a reward given to me by Viscount Abner Bryne......
"Reward me for my work on the invention of the 'projector'."
Abner Blaine? The detective who resuscitated the old man's old friend, Rhein Karendia, on him?
It is rumored that Miss Hazel did indeed befriend the detective...... But why did he set his sights on Klein's sister?
Leonard narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about something, before asking again after a moment, "The one who asked you to come to me for information about Sherlock is also the Viscount Brian, right?" ”
"Yes." Melissa nodded, "I wonder why that Detective Moriarty gave me an extraordinary item. ”
Perhaps, Abner Bryan's revived old monster will notice Melissa because of that Sherlock Moriarty, right?
That person is indeed suspicious, and it is very likely that he has ties to an organization with a tarot codename...... Belief in the "Fool", the sworn enemy of the "true Creator......
Plus the request of Klein's sister...... He really deserves my second look!
In the flash of his thoughts, Leonard made a decision, laughed and said:
"This information you brought makes me think that I may not know enough about Detective Sherlock before...... I'll check it out again in the future.
"I'll tell you when I have the results, how about it?"
Melissa looked at him deeply and said, "Yes." ”
Then, she pursed her lips, but couldn't help but ask, "Klein...... Klein: Did he really die protecting Tingen from harm? ”
"Yes, he is a hero! There is no doubt about that! Leonard let out a breath and said categorically.
"What a fool...... A Sequence 9 just went on such a dangerous mission......" Melissa bit her lip and muttered, "Leonard, I wonder how the cost of asking for your help is calculated?" ”
"Don't pay me, it's my job to investigate Sherlock Moriarty." Leonard smiled and waved his hand, of course he couldn't take money from Crane's sister.
After that, the three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Melissa and Hazel put on their veils and left.
After the two ladies rode away, Leonard frowned again: "Old man, what do you think your old friend wants to do?" ”
Parles was silent for a while, and just when Leonard felt that he would not answer, the old voice rang in his ears:
"I can't guess what Rhine was thinking...... However, you really should investigate Detective Sherlock Moriarty again, and maybe the clue is on him. ”
……
Inside the "Metropolitan Helping Family Servants Association" at 9 Canarowell Street, Joe Wood District.
After settling Sharon, Crane arrived here, ready to hire an experienced butler and then ask him to organize a team of servants needed for the garden villa.
After all, according to the "setting", Dawn Dantès made a fortune in Byam because of an arms business, so he naturally needs to enjoy a better life, and he can't just use a handyman maid like before.
After putting forward his needs, the front desk waitress Belin peeked at Daun, a gentleman who became more and more attractive with a red face, and also professionally helped him select a suitable candidate:
"Mr. Asnia, 55 years old, who served the Viscount of Yorkville, was hired by two wealthy men for ten years to make outstanding contributions to the management of their family due to the failure of the Viscount's investment in mineral exploration and the family's financial crisis.
"Mr. Asnia is a devotee of the Goddess of the Night, more politically leaning towards the Conservatives, and is demanding a salary of £130 a year."
As she spoke, Belleen's brown eyes shone brightly, like two stars hidden, with the vitality unique to a young girl.
"Also, Mr. Walter actually fits your requirements very well, but unfortunately he accepted the offer of Viscount Berdan yesterday."
Viscount Beldan? Isn't it Abner? Didn't he already hire a butler before the prom? Why do you still want to recruit?
Is it because there are many industries?
……
Beckland, inside a section of sewers in the District of Jowood.
A slightly hoarse female voice said:
"Walter, you said you had successfully applied for the position of Viscount Abner Blaine's butler?
"That detective is not simple...... And he's been commissioned to investigate you...... Aren't you afraid that he will perceive your purpose? ”
"It is precisely because Mr. Bryan is not simple that it is more likely to figure out the truth about the murder of the prince by following him!" Walter was silent for a few seconds before replying.
"In the past, he had many subordinates who claimed to be loyal, but now only a few people still remember him and are willing to take risks for him, you are the most surprising to me." The hoarse female voice sighed.
"He's the first nobleman to give me that treatment, and he's the one I really want to be loyal to." Walter replied in a low voice.
The woman seemed reluctant to dwell on the subject, and instead said, "You prepare me a list of villains with average backgrounds in the East End." ”
"What do you want this for?" Walter was surprised.
The voice replied, "I have to make that weak little guy understand what a real 'assassin' is......
"Understand that if you want to be a real woman, you can't do it without paying a price."
