Volume 1 The Investigator Chapter 38 A New Day

The morning in Holin was gray, and through the windows, a tall chimney not far away spewed soot, the industrial block of the Sunswo neighborhood that connected to the docks.

Leon tossed and turned overnight, he tried to sort out and analyze the existing information, trying to find some kind of connection to the event, and now all directions point to the fallen kingdom of Ampsine, but there is still too little information available, and he must investigate it himself.

Before investigating, Leon decides to follow the guidance of the Destiny Land and become a transcendent first.

Leon got up early, cleaned himself in the bathroom, and went into the bedroom bare-chested, rummaging through the closet for new clothes, which were not at sea now, and there was no need to wear a seaman's clothes.

Most of the wardrobes are filled with cheap clothes, but they are all neat and clean.

Today he was going to go to Gico. Serre, before Gico. Searle had said that if he wanted to be transcendent, he would lead the way.

Since you're going to get down to business, dress more formally.

Leon looked through the wardrobe, first chose a white shirt with a standing collar and wrinkles, put the shirt on and buttoned a row of buttons, and then Leon found a silk scarf, skillfully tied it between the collar, and fixed it with a tie needle to ensure that the scarf had beautiful folds, which matched the folds on the stand collar.

Suit Lyon opted for a black tweed three-piece suit.

A vest, jacket, trousers and a pair of brown leather shoes made his temperament a lot higher.

Finally, Leon took out the only high silk top hat from his closet and put it on top of his head.

"Hmmm! Yes, yes, it's really people who rely on clothes, this is what a gentleman should look like. Leon nodded in satisfaction in the mirror.

Now Leon is indeed a lot more handsome, although the clothes are relatively cheap, but the delicate facial features and good figure make up for everything.

Packing himself up, Leon left the room and walked downstairs.

The smell of milk was already wafting from Ms. Kaixi's house on the first floor, and it seemed that Ms. Kaixi had prepared breakfast for them.

Start your day with a lot of food and drink!

Leon was not overly restrained, and pushed open the hidden door of Ms. Kaixi's house, where she was placing the prepared breakfast on the table, a white ceramic plate containing an omelette, two pieces of rye bread, and boiled milk on the side of the ceramic plate.

Leon's older brother Swann was already seated, he was wearing a brown suit and looking through today's morning magazine, his dark circles were a little thick, and it seemed that the heavy work brought about by the recent events had affected his sleep.

Seeing Leon coming in, Ms. Kaixi put on a kind smile and waved her hand: "Little Leon is here, just about to go upstairs and call you, hurry, eat while it's hot." ”

"Thank you very much, Grandma Kaixi." Leon politely took off his hat and sat down next to Swan, "Morning, brother." ”

"Morning, are you going to the Kampra Daily Club today?" Swan put down the morning issue in his hand and took a sip of hot milk.

"Yes, there's still a lot to deal with, I'm going to talk to the bloody events of Holin and see if there's anything I can write about." Leon didn't want to hide it, and directly said the direction of his future work, his brother was in charge of the population file records of Huolin Town, and he should be able to get a little help.

Swan didn't look at his brother, cut the fried egg with a knife, and after a pause, said: "I won't interfere with your work, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties, but you have to promise me that everything is based on safety, and if something goes too deep and touches on something that is not within your control, you must stop immediately." ”

Leon also took a sip of milk, "Okay, don't worry, brother!" By the way, old Bill said hello to you, saying thank you for your help, brother, what did you help him with? Can you know? ”

"Why do you do so much when the kids ask, do your job." Swan rubbed Leon's head and chuckled.

Leon took a bite of rye bread with some unconvinced and said, "You're two years older than me!" ”

Swan didn't let it, "It's your brother who is two years older than you!" You will always be a child in my eyes. ”

Ms. Kaixi interrupted the bickering with a smile: "You two brothers, don't make trouble, finish eating early and go to work, don't be late." ”

Only then did the two brothers stop talking and start cleaning up their breakfast.

After breakfast, Leon said goodbye to Swan and Lady Kaixi and went out first, because he had already handed over the notes of the landlubber to the Daily Society, and he could not go to the Society today.

Leon walked in the direction of the docks, and Guico. Searle said that if he wanted to find him, he would go to No. 21 Night Visit Lane, which is located on the edge of the docks.

Wait, night visit alley? It seems to have been heard from some crew member that Swann had not allowed himself to go near that alley since I could understand it, and there were rumors that there was a bit of ...... Stimulate.

Whether it's a thorn or not, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out how to become a transcendent so that you can continue the next step of your investigation, and there will always be no mistake in the guidance of fate.

Walking through the familiar streets, muddy and dirty roads made Leon regret wearing such a formal attire, and he walked cautiously, lest the splash of muddy water stain his clothes.

Passing by the wharf, the pungent smell of soot mixed with the fishy smell of sea water is a little unpleasant.

Holin Pier is the noisiest part of town in the morning, with dock workers, crews, merchants, and dock managers busy with their heavy workload.

After saying hello to the familiar dock workers, Leon didn't linger long and continued walking towards his destination.

Not far from the wharf, less than five minutes away, Night Visit Lane is an alley of low buildings, each with shabby signs hanging in front of each low building, mostly taverns, which, unlike 'Happy Charles', have pink sconces hanging on the courtyard, and you can imagine what the colour of the alley will be at night, and there are one or two 'safety' shops among the many taverns.

Two women in sexy lace nightdresses were diligently cleaning their courtyards, the hazy lines were plump and seductive, and a few homeless men were walking back and forth, scribbling to the women from time to time, but the women didn't pay attention.

I can understand why Swan didn't let himself get close to this neighborhood, and the whole alley is filled with an atmosphere of 'lust and color'.

Isn't this a 'red light district'?

"Gico. Searle actually lives in this kind of place. "Although Leon can flirt with cute female colleagues, he has never been to this so-called 'red light district'.

Leon's face burned slightly, and he lowered his high hat towards Gico. Serge walked to the address given.

When passing by the woman who was cleaning the door, he obviously noticed that the other party was observing him, but Leon chose to ignore it and walked quickly!

"No. 21 Night Visit Lane - Seafarer's House."

In front of a low building, Leon stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then rang the doorbell......
