Chapter 17: The Great Detective and the Cat and Don Tiger
Although he said that, Rossi actually knew very well in his heart that assassinating himself was just a task taken by the other party, he was equivalent to a murderous knife, and the real culprit was the person who offered a reward to kill him.
Who is the one who is placing the bounty?
Without much guesswork, Rosie thought of Sugar Candy and the people of the Half-Blood Wizard Autonomous Society.
"If you think like this, you may not be the only one who will come to assassinate me!"
As soon as this thought turned in his heart, Rosie couldn't help but shudder.
Looking around vigilantly, she felt a little more relieved when she saw the increasing number of pedestrians nearby.
"Are you alright, this young lady? Need help calling the police? ”
A tall and thin young male NPC wearing a tall felt hat noticed the blood stains on Rosie's body, and walked forward quickly, asking with a gentlemanly and wary gray eye.
"No thanks!"
Although he could see at a glance that the other party was a Muggle, Rosie was still polite, showing respect and gratitude, "It's just a small problem, I can solve it." ”
Hearing her say this, the other party no longer insisted, but used the nearly one-meter-long cane in his hand to flick the wand bag that Rossi untied from Ocron's body a few times.
"This is a wand?"
The sharp gaze shifted to the wand pouch around Rossi's waist, slid over the golden wand handle, and landed on Rossi's face.
Hey? He actually knew the wand?
Rosie couldn't help but be a little surprised, knowing that even though there was a punishment mechanism in the Muggle world, at the moment, magic and wizarding still belonged to the occult for most Muggles, a field that was not known to the general public.
As if seeing the doubt in Rosie's eyes, the young Muggle took off his felt hat with his left hand, leaned forward slightly, and bowed:
"Hello, I'm Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes, and I'm a detective."
"What? Sherlock holmes? You are Sherlock Holmes?!! ”
Rosie looked at his angular face with some surprise, what is the situation in this game, how can there be Sherlock Holmes?
"Oh, Mademoiselle has heard of me?"
Sherlock quickly flipped through the past in the memory palace, and after confirming that he had not seen Rosie, the eyes that looked at her suddenly became more interested.
"Detective Holmes, of course I've heard of it!"
Rosie took it for granted, but after seeing the other party's young face and playful eyes, he suddenly felt a little weak.
Isn't he yet famous?
"Sherlock Holmes......," Sherlock repeated, and suddenly laughed, "This is a prophecy from a wizard?" ”
"It's not presumptuous, although as a consultant detective, I have a certain reputation in the detective circle, but it is far from being well-known."
"Uh...... Rosie, Rosie, don't be fooled by the celebrity effect, it's just a game, a game of wizards and magic, don't care about a Muggle at all! ”
"Even if he's Sherlock Holmes, you're your idol in some sense......"
Thoughts were scattered, and Rosie's body changed to a smiling face completely different from his thoughts: "Hello, Mr. Holmes, my name is Rosie, and as you expected, I am a wizard. ”
Thinking of his blood-covered appearance, he added: "I am an Auror, you can understand it as ~ a police officer in the wizarding world." ”
Hearing this, Sherlock was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hello, Miss Wizard, do you need help contacting the disciplinary authorities?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm not affiliated with that agency."
Rosie, who was not interested in the punishment organs, immediately refused, and changed the topic and said, "Mr. knows a lot, and he also knows the punishment organs." ”
"Assisted in the investigation of a case......
Sherlock explained casually, then handed out a business card and recommended himself, "Since Miss is a police officer in the wizarding world, you can come to me for help if you need it." Believe me, even when it comes to the realm of mystery, the abilities of a detective are very useful. ”
Is this a foreign aid for a case-solving mission?
"Sherlock Holmes."
Flipping over the simple business card in his hand, Rossi thought silently, "Montague Street, the one near the Brantania Museum?" ”
"Okay, if you need to."
After thinking about it, Rosie replied, "If you need help, you can also come to me at 2 Griss Square in Brantania." ”
After speaking, in the other party's strange eyes, Rosie grabbed a handful of high-grade Floo powder and sprinkled it out.
"Leaky Cauldron Bar!"
……
By the time Rosie walked out of Diagon Alley's ready-to-wear store, her clothes were back in shape and the blood was fresh.
But she's not in a hurry to get out of Diagon Alley, and she needs to find a repair shop to restore the durability of her gear.
Since this is a safe zone, she doesn't have to worry about assassins coming to assassinate her.
"Where is the repair shop?"
Talking to himself, Rosie rummaged through a folder he had stored in the system called Shop, "Found it, this is it, the magic item repair shop, located on the south side...... Next to it is the Fantastic Beasts Shop! ”
As she thought about it, she felt as if something had just arrived under her feet.
"Please move your foot, thank you, you stepped on my tail!"
The sudden sound of sound at her feet startled Rosie, who was thinking, and she hurriedly moved to the side and looked down.
"What is this? A stray ...... Cat? ”
I saw a dirty-looking stray cat quickly retract its tail under it, and seeing Rosie notice herself, her amber eyes showed a humane expression: "Pay attention to your steps when you walk in the future." ”
Ha? Am I being despised by a cat?
Rosie was a little amused in her heart, squatted down and looked into the other party's eyes and asked, "I'm sorry, is your tail okay?" ”
Thinking of the way the cat screamed and exploded when he accidentally stepped on the cat's tail, Rosie felt that the stray cat's reaction was too flat.
"Why, you want me to be like those stupid house cats, screaming and jumping up, and scratching you a few more bloodies?"
The cat's tone was proud, and it sounded like a runaway lady.
Belch...... Not really.
Rosie looked at each other with a little novelty, although he had known that there were such talking pets in the game before, but this cat was the first to see it with his own eyes.
"What about your master? Aren't you afraid to lie on the side of the street like this? ”
"Wild animals never know what it means to be afraid!"
The slightly slender cat's face twisted to the side, "Only those stupid domestic cats need to be raised by humans." ”
Wild? Don't have a master? How can it be?
Rosie was a little puzzled, as far as she knew, all the known talking pets were from the advanced copy "Aslan". This means that all talking pets are brought out of the quest by the player, and it is impossible to have no owner.
But what's going on with this little guy in front of you? Does it really have no owner? Am I ......
In the midst of his thoughts, Rosie couldn't help but speak: "Hello, my name is Rosie, you ......"
"It's annoying!"
As if annoyed, the stray cat quickly got up and jumped on the wooden box next to it, jumped with the help of his strength, kicked twice on the plaque of the store, and then jumped onto the eaves.
Am I annoyed?
Seeing that it looked back at itself in disgust and then disappeared, Rosie began to doubt his charm a little.
At this moment, a very cold-sounding male voice sounded from the side: "What are you doing squatting here?" ”
It's so natural to talk to others, and you're so cold, who are you......
Rosie sneered as she turned her head to look at the man who was speaking.
"Don ...... Don Tiger? ”
I saw Don Tiger wearing the dark brown suit that had not changed for ten thousand years, looking at this side with a flat expression, and when Rosie turned his head, he seemed to recognize Rosie, and a trace of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.
"Rosie?"
Without waiting for Rossi to reply, he turned to ask as if he didn't care about the answer to the question, "Excuse me, have you seen an orange cat, I've heard that I've seen it nearby." ”
Cat? He's looking for the cat? Is he the owner of that cat?
"Yes, but it just ran away."
Rosie said suspiciously, "You are its master?" ”
"It's not."
Don Tiger replied briefly, "It's a mission, where is it going?" ”
Oh, that's a mission.
Rosie suddenly realized that she had no intention of deceiving the other party, and pointed in the direction where the cat had left and said:
"It just said something really annoying, and then it went up and ran away, huh...... I should smell you! ”
"Thank you!"
Don Tiger thanked him, and then immediately took out his broomstick and chased it in which direction.
Huh? It's going too fast, isn't it?!!
Rosie, who had already clicked out the interface of the friend application, had to give up the original idea and complained in a muffled voice to his destination.
