Chapter 59: The Lost Manuscript

"Sir, this is today's newspaper." Casey said respectfully to Monet.

In fact, Monet's original habit of breakfast was to read Anhui TV's "Daily News" while eating breakfast, but after crossing over, he could only change to reading newspapers according to local customs, but the newspapers of this era were far less interesting than in the previous life, so Monet was just used to pass the time of boredom, but today's newspaper is obviously not ordinary, when he saw a message, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God! It can't be such a coincidence! ”

Nicole, who was drinking coffee on the side, was obviously taken aback by him: "Tony, what's wrong?" ”

"I have a hunch that something terrible may happen, no, I have to go to the police station!" After saying that, Monet got up and went to change his clothes.

"Don't be in such a hurry, let's eat breakfast first!" Nicole persuaded behind her.

Sheriff Klein in the police station was leisurely sorting out his most proud mustache, and Monet slammed in the door and startled him: "Tony, what's wrong with you?" Is something going on at home? ”

"No, nothing happened to my family, but, but something happened to this jewelry store!" Monet gasped as he pointed to a newspaper report.

Klein glanced at the news, and then said disapprerovingly: "Isn't this jewelry store not lost, but a well-known robber has patronized it." ”

Monet shook his head and explained: "But don't you think it's strange, this Felton is a well-known robber, your police have been wanted for a long time and haven't caught it, how can a person like him go to rob a jewelry store so hastily, and just run away from being scared by the boss and a few clerks, what's even stranger is the sentence he said when he left!" ”

"Oh, you mean it's not the same as beforehand. Well, this sentence is very strange, it is very likely that Felton has an internal response in the jewelry store, but you don't know the person who is in charge of the neighborhood, Sheriff Andre, he is the standard more than less, as long as the jewelry store does not lose anything, he is too lazy to care. Speaking of this, he laughed and teased: "Why, great detective, do you have any good way to catch this Felton?" ”

"Catch it? No, on the contrary, I'm worried that he's going to die soon! ”

"What? You say he's going to die? Klein asked, surprised.

Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, if my estimate is correct, maybe not only he will die, but even the owner of this jewelry store, Mendes, will probably die!" ”

"Y-Why do you say that?" Sheriff Klein asked curiously.

Monet asked, "Do you remember when my house was burglarized a few months ago, and I told you about how many manuscripts I had stolen by thieves?" ”

"Remember, but what does that have to do with this?" Sheriff Klein asked, puzzled.

"Of course it does, and it does, because this strange robbery at a jewelry store is exactly the same as the one in one of my lost manuscripts." Monet explained.

"You—you're saying the thief is copying your novel to commit a crime?" Klein asked, somewhat uncertain.

"That's what I'm worried about, because it's a coincidence that I can't believe it." Monet said with an anxious expression.

After hearing this, Klein nodded and said, "It's a bit too much of a coincidence, but if it is concluded that this is a parody because of this, is there some insufficient evidence?" ”

Monet thought for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, you can call this jewelry store again, if the jewelry store owner has a plan to travel on a luxury train that passes through the tunnel at night in the next few days, then the matter can basically be determined." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Let's go over now. With that, Klein stood up and rushed to the Mondes jewelry store with Monet.

On the way, he happened to meet the patrolling police officer Andre, and seeing Klein's hurried appearance, Andre asked curiously: "Klein, why did you run to me, is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm going to ask about something at the Monds Jewelry Store, and I'm in a hurry to get to you." After all, Klein explained, this was Andre's district.

"Oh, then I'll go with you, speaking of which, it's a bit strange to be there in Monders these two days, not only have you encountered robbers, but you have also gone far away at the busiest time for business, I really don't know what to think." Andrey muttered.

"What? You said that Monders is going to go out in the next two days? Klein asked, surprised.

Andre nodded inexplicably and replied: "Yes, it is said that he is going to Philadelphia once, and he left on the Duke last night. ”

And Clay didn't have time to care about Andre at this moment, but looked at Monet in surprise: "Tony, Mondes is really on the train, it seems that what you are worried about is really going to happen." ”

"It's a pity that I haven't been on this duke either, so I wonder if I'll pass through a tunnel at night." Monet said with a frown.

Sheriff Klein thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Come to think of it, I took this train as if it was going through the tunnel, but I can't remember if it was at night, because I drank too much on the road that time and fell asleep early. ”

“......”

Looking at Sheriff Klein and Monet who were in full swing in discussion, Andre finally couldn't help but ask, "Klein, what are you talking about?" ”

"Oh, that's right, Sergeant Andrei, a few months ago a thief came to my house and lost some belongings and all the manuscripts kept in the study......" Monet explained while secretly regretting in his heart, because during that time, in order to attract attention, he planned to write a detective to death, so he chose the story of Detective Conan's "The Big Dipper from Ueno" for adaptation, and changed the original Conan perspective to the "young detective in black who died in black" as the protagonist, Created a precedent for the death of the first detective, but I didn't expect this story to seem to have really suffered a curse, not long after he finished writing, the manuscript was stolen by a thief who sneaked in at night, and what is even more unbelievable is that this thief really planned to commit a crime according to the plot of the novel, which made Monet feel extremely devastated......
