The ideal world of 407 detectives
Ringer looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It's almost time to get off work. Ten minutes to go. It's been more than an hour since Lanya took Kenel out, and it's almost time to come back.
Just as he was thinking this, the wind chimes rang at the door of the store, the door opened, and Lanya led Kenel back to the store.
"How? The world over there. Ringer asked with a smile. Knell's expression looked agitated, and even through the thick lenses, Ringer could see the glint of light in her dark purple eyes.
"It's amazing, it's just a perfect world." Knell clenched her fists,
"There is no damn magic, no weirdness that doesn't follow common sense, no undead who directly say the name of the murderer, and no abominable alchemy! Such a world is simply an ideal world for detectives! Reading the book, Laconel's eyes lit up, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.
She's had enough of this primordial world of magic and sorcery, weirdness and undeadness, and evil alchemy.
In this world full of mystical powers, the profession of detective is simply like a joke. Once she was staying in a hotel and it happened that there was a murder.
While her soul of reasoning was burning, the innkeeper went straight to a necromancer who lived in the inn.
The black-robed little white face muttered a few words to the corpse, and the corpse sat up suddenly, pointing to the murderer hidden in the crowd...... Her soul of reasoning was extinguished on the spot.
She looks like a fool when she recommends herself to the innkeeper and guarantees that she will find the murderer within three days, as long as the room fee is free.
Illation? Burst. People prefer to go to a soothsayer for divination. Haha, catch the murderer by divination? But the annoying thing is that you can really find it!
Without any supernatural powers, she can only rely on her own brilliant mind. But most of the time, this wisdom is not enough in the face of mystical forces.
Then again, even if she could master the mysterious power, she didn't want to use that power. What she likes is the feeling of reasoning, starting from clues, reasoning and analyzing from the cocoon, clearing the fog, and looking for the truth behind the scenes step by step.
If you use magic, divination, summoning the undead, or whatever, it's too boring. The beauty of reasoning is completely destroyed.
"I've decided, I'm going to live over there! Mr. Ringerโ" Knell's eyes were fixed on Ringer, her eyes full of longing.
"Can you let me live in your house temporarily, and when I set up a detective agency over there, I will definitely double the rent when I earn money." Ringer looked at Knell's schoolboy-like appearance.
She looks like this, opening a detective agency? On the continent of Ios, she may still be able to explain her appearance under the pretext of elves or Raphaels, but on Earth, no matter what she says, others will think that she is a schoolboy with wild words.
In terms of money, he doesn't care very much, and there are still spare rooms at home. But she's like this, she will never make money.
"Isn't Miss Knell tracking down your attacker?" Knell sighed and said, "Actually, in the long process of more than twenty years of investigation, I have already noticed it, but I just don't want to admit it. Her tone was full of powerlessness.
"Even if I find them, what can I do? After all, I'm just an ordinary person, and they are undoubtedly transcendent, and the organization they belong to is even more powerful than I can imagine. I'm just not reconciled. Knell laughed to herself.
"Maybe they've already discovered my tracking, and they're just using me as a plaything, watching my jokes in secret." A complicated expression appeared on that immature face, indescribably strange.
This weird feeling is like your daughter who has just entered elementary school comes home with a melancholy face one day, and you ask her what happened, and she glances at you with deep eyes and says to you: You will understand when you experience it.
Ringer looked at the lost Knell, and after being silent for a few seconds, he turned to Lan Ya and said, "Lan Ya, you can take Miss Knell home first and arrange a spare room for her." Hearing this, Knell immediately raised her head in surprise.
"Hehe, I'll leave it to me." Lanya liked the cute Cornell very much, and responded with a smile, but immediately noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Ringer in surprise,
"What about you? Aren't you going back? โ
"Miss Liel and I have something to do, it's about alchemy." Lanya turned her head to look at Lil, who was waiting with a book on her shoulder, bit her lip, and nodded, "Okay, then you come back early." Then, under Ringer's gentle gaze, he led Cornell out of the bar.
After work, Ringer changed his clothes, came out of the lounge, and smiled at Lil, who was waiting outside, "Okay, Miss Lil, now go to your alchemy workshop." โ
