"There are 1,203 houses with dark red chimneys in the city of Tingen, including the eastern, northern, western and southern districts, the Sycamore, the docks and the university districts, and 550 on the outskirts of Tingen, for a total of 1,753."

"It seems that dark red chimneys are really popular......"

Looking at the documents covering the desktop, Angel sighed helplessly, put down the paper in his hand, picked up the coffee cup, took a sip and put it down with a frown.

The coffee in this coffee shop wasn't even as good as Miss Rosan's, and she wouldn't have wanted to come here if it weren't for the other night watchers.

Sitting across from her was Klein, also holding the papers, grimacing.

Spread above the stacked documents is a map of the city of Tingen, densely marked with red dots, and directly connected to the residential area in a shocking red, obscuring almost all the location of the map, making the location information seem useless.

"I didn't expect the detective agency you found to be so efficient, and it didn't take less than a week to find all the information, and the detective I commissioned is probably still running around the street."

Putting down the papers, Klein teased bitterly as he teased his private detective.

"After all, it cost several times more money," Angel said, folding up the useless map and putting it aside, "Don't cancel the commission from your side, and when you get the information, you can compare it, and maybe you can find some missing houses." ”

Crane nodded.

"That's what I thought, too. During this period, I will start with the places where there have been recent tenant changes, especially after the time of my divination, there have been houses that have been withdrawn or sold, which is likely to be the place where the person behind the detection and interference with my divination lived. ”

"Well, if he finds out that he has been divined, he should change his place of residence or leave Tingen altogether, so as not to be approached by the official extraordinary...... Wait, you said 'you're going to investigate'? What about me? ”

Halfway through Angil's analysis, he suddenly realized that the plan of action in Crane's mouth did not include himself.

"It's a scene I've sucitated, and I can't confirm if it's or isn't until I see it with my own eyes," Klein explained, "and even if you help find it, I'll probably need to reconfirm it, and it won't speed it up." ”

"But it can help you eliminate some of the obviously incorrect options, the sketch you provided has a garden, there is vegetation, but it is clear that there are not so many buildings with dark red chimneys and detached houses with gardens in the city of Tingen, and I can save a lot of time by removing these wrong options in advance."

Crane's expression of resolute refusal was visibly relaxed.

"The longer it drags on, the more likely it is that the person behind the scenes will leave, or even make some other arrangements."

Angel used his persuasive skills to make up for it.

"Okay, I'll draw you a more detailed scene tomorrow, you start with the buildings in the North District, and I'll visit the houses that have changed tenants recently."

After sighing, Crane still gave in, and he sorted the documents on the table, handed the part of the file that noted the North District to Angel, and put the rest in the file bag.

"I'll ......pay back the £30 I commissioned next month."

The rest of Crane's words were glared back by Angel with an angry look.

"This is not your business alone, Mr. Azik said, there is also an inconsistency in my fate, you have found clues through divination, how can you pay all the investigation fees?"

Angel had only withdrawn 100 pounds from the Tingen branch of the Beckland Bank in the morning, and even after paying the balance of the investigation of the Jules Detective Agency, there was still a full 85 pounds.

And Klein, who has the same salary as her, has to pay for his sister's education, pay the rent of a single-family house on Daffodil Street, and even choose a more modest coffee shop when he meets outside today, Angel is not willing to let him pay the 30 pounds for the commission.

By the way, speaking of commissions......

"Klein, I heard today that the police are looking for a fraudster named 'Laneus'......"

Angel told the money-strapped soothsayer what he had heard at the Jules Detective Agency.

As long as he moves his swing and divination, won't the money be in hand?

Hearing that the bounty was a full 100 pounds, Crane did not show the surprise she was expecting, but shook his head with a wry smile.

"I've heard about Ranrius in the 'Fortune Tellers' Club', and I've even been approached by my old clients who want to use my divination to find him."

"It's a pity that this fraudster is very shrewd, the information provided is basically fake, and there are no personal belongings left, just with a name, maybe even a fake name, I can't do divination."

As if thinking of something indescribable, his face became a little strange, and he was silent for a moment before continuing: "One of the victims was a relative of Lanewes's fiancée, and that poor fiancée was already pregnant with his child. These victims even wanted me to try divination with my unborn child, and to be honest, there really wasn't anything closer to Lanrius than that......"

The two looked at each other for a moment and were speechless.

"Poof—"

Angel couldn't help but laugh first, making Crane, who was sitting across from her, smile as well.

"This is too embarrassing for our soothsayer, soothsayer, maybe when the child is born, this fraudster has not been caught, then you still have a chance to earn this bounty."

"Then I have to divinate first, whether that poor child can be born normally, his aunt has been persuading Lanrius's fiancée to kill the child."

Klein also smiled and agreed, and then said, "But I'll not be a 'soothsayer' soon, remember what I told you, about the special application?" ”

"Well, of course I remember, but according to the captain, it took a whole year for Ms. Dai Li, who was promoted the fastest, and are you sure you will have to submit your application in less than two months?" Angel replied, a little worried that he would be too radical and attract too much attention from the church's upper echelons.

Crane smiled and picked up the coffee cup, as if organizing the language, and waited until the cup of coffee that tasted bad was finished before speaking:

"That's what I'm going to do next, you should already know how to quickly master the 'playing' of potions," Klein's tone was very determined, and without waiting for Angel to answer, he continued, "And because I mastered this method, I also completed the play quickly by working part-time in the soothsayer's club, fitting the imagery of potions—how about that?" ”

After destroying the Altar of the Damned, he didn't seem to hide his peculiarity in front of me very much...... Is it because you've been "open and honest" with me and Leonard, so you're not going to pretend?

He knew that I had been promoted to the "instigator" of Sequence 8, so guessing by the speed of my promotion that I had mastered the acting?

Looking at Klein, who was talking eloquently, Angel secretly analyzed, and asked casually: "Then how do you explain where you got the information about the 'acting method'?" ”

"From Ms. Daly," Klein said more fluently, as if he had already typed the draft, "I'm sure you've heard about Ms. Daly from the captain, and I've learned from it how to play potions, and in practice it's more thorough and effective than she did." ”

"So when you say 'foreshadowing', you're preparing for this excuse?"

Angel had already guessed what he was thinking.

"That's right, I plan to gradually reveal this method to the captain and to the other members of the team in Tingen City over the course of two weeks, so that they will think that I have gradually learned the experience, and then one day 'fully grasp the power of potions'."

Listening to this bold plan gradually taking shape in the other party's mouth, Angel couldn't help but have some thoughts floating, she had already been promoted to the instigator in the port of Enmat, but she never found a way to reveal this to the night watcher, which made her next promotion difficult, after all, the means of the "instigator" are easy to hide, and the extraordinary abilities of the "witch" are absolutely impossible to hide from the teammates who fight together.

Now that Klein plans to submit a special application this month, if he can apply at the same time, will he be able to "free ride" as well?

But if the promotion within the church, like Klein's "soothsayer" potion, needs to be configured on the spot and then consumed, what should he do if he is already an "instigator"?

Do you take the plunge, or wait for Klein to submit the application first and wait for his experience to be summed up?

Listening to Klein continue to refine her plan, she was once again tangled.
