Chapter 113: Speculation and Entrustment
"Sure enough, Leonard is not very serious, but his eyes are quite sharp, and Crane is indeed different from other night watchmen."
After locking the door, changing out of the dress she had bought for the dinner, and putting on a light room dress, Angel returned to the living room, sat on her favorite couch by the window, and thought in the dim light.
Before accepting the gift and preparing to leave, the few words Klein said have been haunting her heart.
After all, it sounds a bit like a threat and a provocation......
However, there are a few points that can be confirmed, first of all, Klein should have mastered the "method of playing", he said that he "digested" the potion, not the "mastery" as the average extraordinary person said, and he claimed to have digested the potion of Sequence 9, the "soothsayer", which is less than a month after he took the potion and became an extraordinary!
Secondly......
Thinking of what the other party said, "I will catch up with you as soon as possible", Angel couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
"He must have known that I had been promoted from Assassin to Instigator of the Assassins!"
Combined with the change in Klein's attitude towards himself after returning to Tingen from the port of Emmatt, and the occasional glances from the "instigators" as he tracked down the Altar of the Damned, Angel confirms this.
Could it be that he is similar to the amnesiac high-sequence extraordinary, Mr. Azik, who also has the ability to see at a glance whether others are extraordinary or not, and even the degree of the sequence?
But thinking that the other person's time to become an extraordinary person is too short, this possibility is really very low.
"Or did he confirm my current situation through divination?"
Angel leaned back on the couch, looked at the gas lamp on the wall, and muttered to herself.
However, he has a "magic pocket watch" that can fight against divination, and as can be seen from the fact that Tomats has been able to escape from the tracking of the "mechanical heart" many times, the effect of this magical item should be good.
Stroking the pocket watch that had been strapped to her left wrist in addition to bathing and sleeping, Angel felt that she was starting to have a headache.
Fortunately, Klein doesn't seem to have much hostility towards himself, which is the best news so far.
Speaking of which, he had already saved him twice, and at today's dinner, Klein had a very good attitude towards himself, and even accepted his gift just now......
Tilting her head in the direction of 2 Daffodil Street, Angel sighed.
To catch up with me, to advance to Sequence 8?
Then I'll be promoted to Sequence 7 early.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After summarizing the experience of playing the "assassin", playing through the "counter-assassination", completing the digestion, and finally being promoted to the instigator much faster than expected, Angel has confirmed one fact:
This body retains quite a bit of "cosplay experience".
Cole Granger began to take the Assassin potion and become an extraordinary person, even if he learned the "playing method" from Mrs. Sharon, it took a year to plan and assassinate more than ten people to digest the potion.
And "Angel Granger" only took half a month.
She believes that it won't even take a month to go from the instigator to Sequence 7, "Witch", as long as she finds the right rules to play.
"Just let me see, if you're fast, or if I'm faster......"
Thinking of Klein confidently arranging his dress in front of his house, the smile on Angel's lips became even stronger.
——————
Champagne Street, North District, "Jules Detective Agency".
Cloaked and hooded, Angel was guided to the reception room by the front desk, sat on a comfortable single sofa, and drank coffee that had been lukewarm beside him, and it wasn't long before a man of about thirty entered the room through the door on the other side.
"Hello, it's Miss Angel Granger, right? I'm Bouz Jules. ”
Men wear round glasses, thin trench coats that are common in this weather, light shirts under open trench coats, no top hats, and short black hair is meticulously groomed.
He extended his right hand to Angel, who looked up and reached back, and when he saw Angel's face, the detective's gaze behind his glasses was momentarily glazed before he sat stiffly on the couch on the other side of the coffee table.
I knew I shouldn't have drunk this cup of coffee if I didn't take my hood off......
Angel regretted it a little.
"I've heard that you want to find all the houses in Tingen that have some kind of characteristics and mark them all on the map?"
Detective Jules asked softly, with his legs crossed and his expression returned to normal.
Angel took out the sketch she had asked for from Crane, placed it on the coffee table, and nodded.
"Yes, it has a dark red chimney with lawns and gardens around it, and it may be in the city of Tingen or in the suburbs nearby, but not too far away."
"Not only do I need to mark them on the map, but I also need them to see how they're doing, whether anyone has moved in or left recently, who the landlord is, and preferably with contact information."
Detective Jules took the sketch, pushed his glasses, and studied it carefully.
"Hmm...... It's a good drawing, but it lacks the required features, only the chimney can determine the color, and the roof is very vague, so it would be much easier to find if you could know the color of the roof or wall......"
Muttering to himself, the detective seemed to forget that there was a client sitting opposite, and closed his eyes directly, his brows sometimes tightened and sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about some problem.
Angel took a sip of her coffee and waited patiently.
"No problem, we've taken the commission."
After a long time, the detective opened his eyes, put down the sketch, and said with a smile on his face.
"It's not complicated, it just takes time and manpower to run street by street throughout the city, and even the wider suburbs."
"I have two options here, one will be longer, but the total commission fee will be lower; On the other hand, we will do our best to find all the homes at full speed, but the cost is ......"
"I need to find it 'as soon as possible'."
Angel did not hesitate to interrupt Jules's introduction.
"No problem, I expect this commission to be completed in 3 to 5 days, and the total commission fee is 30 pounds, and due to the large number of people, half of it needs to be paid in advance."
£30...... That's a lot more expensive than the detective agency Klein was looking for...... Even half of it would have cost me almost all of my cash...... Hopefully it's worth the money, after all, Mrs. Green has praised them.
Angel was in a bit of pain, but the matter was about the so-called "incongruous fate" between herself and Klein, and she decided to spend such a sum of money.
She fumbled under her cloak for a while, pulled out three five-pound bills, and handed them to Detective Jules. The 15 pounds were given, and she almost became a "moonlight clan", and she could only wait for the salary to be paid next week.
The latter took it and carefully identified the authenticity before taking it into his arms.
"Okay, I have received the upfront fee, please fill out this form, we will start the investigation later today, if you are in a hurry, you can come over in three days to understand the progress, even if the commission has not been completed at that time, we will also summarize the information collected in advance and hand it over to you."
Jules greeted a young lady in her early twenties at the front desk, who quickly sent a detailed power of attorney with clear rights and responsibilities.
This is much more professional than the grass platform team on the surface of our night watchman...... It's hard to believe that the last time Mrs. Green saw this detective agency, she was willing to entrust it with the Black Thorn Security Company......
Angel sneered as she filled out the form.
By the way, since they are very professional here......
Angel suddenly put down her pen and looked up at Detective Jules, who was stunned by her eyes and subconsciously straightened her back.
"Is there anything else?"
"Do you have any information about the gangs or illegal organizations in Tingen?"
