Early morning.

The town of Arkham was still in a drunken sleep.

Zhang Huaiying woke up early, with a thin stack of documents on the table.

These are the cases he asked Weiss to bring last night, all the cases in Arkham Town that have been inconclusive in the last year.

In a world where cases can be investigated openly, it is a tragedy to not handle a few more cases.

Zhang Huaiying wasn't sure how long he would be here, so he planned to take on the next case the day after the Ripper was arrested.

"Zhang."

There was a knock on the door, and Smith could be heard outside the door.

As soon as Zhang Huaiying opened the door, he saw Smith holding a red-covered ID and handing it to him.

"Detective card?" Seeing the familiar text on the cover, Zhang Huaiying was puzzled:

"Father, I have papers."

"Just open it and see." Instead of answering his question directly, Smith mysteriously urged him to open it.

Seeing this, Zhang Huaiying became even more curious, and he opened the document with some expectation

In the upper left corner is his photo, and in the center of the document is still the text about the detective regulations, which is unchanged from his previous certificate.

"Isn't this the same as before, Father?" Zhang Huaiying flipped left and right.

"It's just that the cover has turned red."

Smith shook his head with a smile and reached out to the bottom right corner of his ID.

"You see, this is the seal of the church, not the seal of the Arkham Sheriff's Office."

was pointed out by Smith, and Zhang Huaiying discovered that the seal of the document was not red, but a colorless raised steel seal.

"The seal of Arkham can only let you take over the commission of Arkham Town, but the seal of the church."

Smith patted Zhang Huaiying on the shoulder hard.

"Zhang, in the future, you will be a church-certified detective, and you can take over the commissions in the entire kingdom."

Zhang Huaiying's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the documents close to him, this thing is good.

It's so much better than that bonus.

Seeing Zhang Huaiying put away the documents, the priest took out another document from his pocket.

"Huaiying, are you ready to take over the commission during this time?"

"I was watching it just now, and if I'm interested, I'm going to register with the sheriff's office."

"So fast! Don't take a break? ”

"No, I'm very idle, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't handle a case for a day."

"That's great." Smith was still thinking about how to persuade Zhang Huaiying to take on the next case immediately after finishing the previous case.

There are too few opportunities to connect with the great wizard, and it can even be said that there may only be this one chance in this life, and Smith doesn't want Zhang Huaiying to miss this operation.

Now that he heard the latter say this, he didn't need to be entangled, and handed over the document directly.

"Huaiying, this is a new case from the Sheriff's Department, it's very challenging, I think you should like it."

Zhang Huaiying raised his eyebrows, he likes challenging things the most.

When the cover is opened, there is only one piece of paper for the document.

Zhang Huaiying swept it and immediately found a familiar name.

"Something to do with the Ripper?"

Smith was prepared when he heard this.

"How's that, is it challenging enough? Except for the Ripper you have solved, the cases in Arkham Town are all trivial, and there are not many cases that can implicate the Dark Wizard. ”

"There are challenges, but ......" Zhang Huaiying looked at the entrusted task.

"Find the relics of the Ripper."

"Father, isn't there everything that the ripper left in the factory? It's good to look for something to get, there's no need to entrust this kind of thing. ”

"I don't know." Smith shook his head.

"But what the client said was that what he was looking for was not in the abandoned factory, and according to his intelligence, it was important to the Ripper and should have been hidden by him somewhere in Arkham Town."

Zhang Huaiying pondered for a moment, and then glanced at the pile of tasks to find cats and dogs on the table next to him, and couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't want to be a cat and dog detective.

"Father, I have taken this commission."

It's a bit more deceitful to find a dark wizard's relic than to find a cat.

"The employer will be back in town at noon today, and I will bring him to meet you."

Seeing Zhang Huaiying's agreement, Smith immediately finalized the commission, said hello and left in a hurry.

He's going to go back and report to Archwizard Merlin.

Seeing Smith leave, Zhang Huaiying stretched.

"Isn't this just looking for treasure? Not to mention, it's really interesting. ”

"What could the ripper's relics be?"

Church.

"Mr. Great Wizard, Zhang has accepted the commission, are you planning to meet him directly?"

"Of course, I'm an employer in this matter." Merlin smiled and looked at Ludwig.

"You'll have to pretend you don't know me in a minute, don't show your stuff."

"I understand, Mr. Merlin." Ludwig had no objection, but he still asked curiously.

"Mr. Merlin, can you tell us a little bit about what you're looking for? What can a dark wizard of the level of the Ripper leave behind? ”

"Of course it's okay to tell you, but ......" Merlin shook his head with a smile.

"Now I don't know the answer, the identity of the ripper is very special, and I only have a preliminary suspicion until now, it would be best if I didn't find anything."

"Can you tell us about that?"

"You little one." Merlin couldn't laugh or cry, and Ludwig didn't seem to hear the rejection in his words, but considering that Ludwig would see it anyway, he didn't perfunctory.

"It's an altar."

Outskirts.

The contents of the abandoned factory have long been swept away, and even the cement on the ground has been shoveled away.

The recent abandoned factories are very lively, and the original no-man's land has been visited many times recently, causing even more commotion like demolition teams.

"Merlin, the old immortal beard."

At the site of the battle between Ludwig and White, a man in a delicate dress reached out and touched the ground, twisting the dust from his fingertips.

"Pure light, Ludwig? It looks like the old thing in armor has been thrown off by him, and the knight in his twenties is a little interesting. ”

In the mouth of men, Ludwig, whose strength surpasses that of the head of the knights of the church, can only be regarded as a little interesting.

The man stood up, holding in his hand a newspaper that had just been printed in Arkham today.

On the front page, Zhang Huaiying's photo is particularly eye-catching.

"The hero who eliminated the shadow of Arkham, huh, a detective, an ordinary person?"

The man seemed disinterested, and he glanced in the direction where White had fallen.

"It's a waste to have received the gift of the Lord and fall into this kind of role."

"Forget it, let me see if you can have some fun for me. An old immortal, a knight, a detective. ”

"Hehe, don't let me down."
