Chapter Nine: Sherlock Holmes and Watson

"Students?" Zhang Huaiying was stunned, looked at Ludwig who was kneeling on one knee, and shook his head with no interest.

"I'm not going to take students."

After that, Zhang Huaiying bypassed Ludwig and walked straight towards the gate of the factory, leaving only one sentence.

"I'll leave that guy to you, and follow the laws of your church or sheriff's office."

Zhang Huaiying has always only thought of himself as a detective, and as for the trial of criminals, he should be handed over to the legal organs of this world to deal with.

Ludwig knelt on the ground, although he thought that such a master might reject him, but he didn't expect Zhang Huaiying's reason for refusal to be so simple.

Not interested.

The three sentences completely blocked any of his words.

"No, Ludwig, you can't give up, if such a master misses it today, he may not have a chance in this life, if there is no such powerful person as a teacher, how can you take revenge on that group of terrifying dark wizards?"

He glanced at White on the ground, who was squirming with difficulty, and what had been the simplest physical injury for a dark wizard was now completely unable to heal itself.

Seeing that someone was looking at him, White raised his head and mocked with the last of his strength:

"Hehe, what a humble knight, he can't even be someone else's student, tsk, it's a shame."

White chuckled.

"Someone else is a detective, like you, you have no brains, you have no strength, and you can't compare to other people's muscle sticks, will he want you?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ludwig's mind.

"Detective? That's right! ”

He suddenly looked up and thanked White with a bewildered expression:

"I thank you so much."

"Mr. Detective!"

"Huh?" Zhang Huaiying, who had just walked to the door, heard someone calling him and just turned around.

A knight's plate armor fell to the ground, and Ludwig, dressed in a crisp suit, stood beside him.

"Mr. Detective, may I ask you, do you have an assistant?"

This question stopped Zhang Huaiying, and he didn't seem to have the assistant thing.

Seeing this, Ludwig was relieved and hurriedly spoke.

"As far as I know, detectives everywhere have their own unique assistants. Their assistants not only help them solve cases, but also serve as a status symbol. ”

The more Zhang Huaiying's eyes brightened the more he listened, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Di Renjie and Yuan Fang?"

"emmm, yes, that's it!"

Although Ludwig didn't know who these four people were, he nodded without hesitation when he saw Zhang Huaiying's face.

"Mr. Detective, I wonder what you think of me?" Ludwig finally showed his fox tail.

Thinking of Zhang Huaiying's various practices just now, he quickly determined the mentality of this master.

"You are a detective with superior intelligence, and I am a former knight of the Church, don't you think they complement each other?"

Zhang Huaiying's mind suddenly appeared that one rainy night, Ludwig held an umbrella for him, and after visiting the crime scene, he turned his head to look at the latter and asked:

"What do you think, Vichy?"

And Ludwig had a solemn expression.

"My lord, there must be something strange about this."

The picture in his mind became clearer and clearer, and Zhang Huaiying slapped his thigh violently.

"I just said, I always felt that something was wrong before, it turned out that I didn't have an assistant."

He turned to look at Ludwig.

"Well, from now on, you'll be my assistant."

Ludwig smiled, he smiled happily, and immediately began his work as an assistant.

He picked up the half-dead White lying on the ground.

"Mr. Zhang, thanks to your wise judgment and seeing through the tricks of this cunning gangster, I can arrest him."

Ludwig roughly understood that a powerful master like Zhang Huaiying no longer cared about such a low-level merit as exterminating the dark wizard.

This kind of master game in the world cares about the sense of achievement in another field, and Zhang Huaiying in front of him is a master who has become a detective, and what he cares about is naturally the sense of achievement in solving the case.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, the master really deserves to be a master, and his interests and hobbies are so eclectic and free.

Admire.

"Mr. Zhang, where are we going now?" Ludwig conscientiously played the role of an assistant, and obeyed Zhang Huaiying's arrangement in every move.

"Arkham Town, let's go get the gratuity."

Arkham Town.

The atmosphere of the town is laid-back just after the afternoon.

It's just that compared to the usual coziness, today's town is a little more noisy.

"Have you heard, that third-rate detective who can't even find a cat actually went to investigate the ripper."

"Can I not know this? I heard that Sheriff Weiss was wearing out his mouth, and he didn't stop that guy from going to death, why can't you think about it? ”

"It's not the first time you've heard his jokes, you've seen a normal person who takes on cases day by day and fails again and again, and is reduced to the extent of relying on everyone to help."

A few grooms were feeding the fodder and chattering about the joy of the town today.

"What are you talking about? What to send to death! ”

On the side of the road, a violent roar scared off one of the grooms' cigarettes.

George put his hands on oil, grabbed his cuffs, and greeted him angrily.

"Your mouth stinks like a garbage can on the side of the road, and you smoke cigarettes, so let me stuff the soles of your shoes into your nose and roll a roll."

The burly George was like a hill, and the three grooms subconsciously withdrew from the distance and immediately said goodbye.

"I, we're just talking and playing, no malice."

"No malice? Then I have no malice in stuffing the soles of my shoes into your nostrils. ”

George didn't listen to them at all, and took off his leather shoes to shove into a groom's nose.

"George, put your shoes on."

Just as the three grooms were about to lose their noses, Smith arrived.

"Father." Seeing the comer, the three grooms immediately bowed their heads, and they didn't dare to come out of the air.

Seeing this, George could only put his shoes back on indignantly, but still glared at the three of them.

"The next time I hear that, I'll have to skin you!

"Why don't you get out of here?"

After driving away the three grooms, the anger on George's face dissipated, and only the hidden deep remorse remained.

"Father, I'm stupid. I should have tied that guy up at that time! ”

"If we tie him up, maybe we'll be able to drink with him tomorrow."

The priest was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"I will pray to the Lord for Zhang every day.

"And George, if you think about the good in everything, maybe with Zhang's strength, you can't find any trace of the Ripper at all, and this kind of nature will not be killed; Perhaps, the Ripper has already left, and Zhang will come back, right? ”

George looked up.

"Father, will Zhang really be okay?"

Smith drew a prayer symbol on his chest.

"The Lord will bless him."

Both of them understood that Zhang Huaiying's departure was almost lifeless, and the murderous reputation of the Ripper was not established in a day or two, it was a terrifying legend depicted in the blood of countless sheriffs and detectives.

Entrance to the town.

Zhang Huaiying wore a top hat to cover half of his face, and Ludwig carried a box on his back, which was a cage used by the church to trap dark wizards.

The chatter of passers-by echoed in the ears of the two.

"Sir, the people of this town seem to ...... Some don't quite agree with you? ”

Ludwig had already spoken very tactfully, and all the way he had heard almost all the jokes about Zhang Huaiying, no one believed that he could succeed.

On several occasions, Ludwig couldn't resist stepping forward and theorizing and telling the ignorant that you don't know how strong this detective really is.
