Chapter 172: A Story of Love (The Third Monthly Pass)
Watching the lightning light up the dark sky, Deric didn't knock on the doors of a few acquaintances, but walked along the widest avenue all the way to the training ground on the edge of Silver City.
After each exploration team returns, they will stay here for a period of time, not only to facilitate their communication and report on the things and things they encounter in the dark depths, but also to isolate them in disguise, to prevent some strange things from attaching to which members, and when time goes on, they will explode violently.
This is the experience that Silver City has explored and summed up for more than 2,000 years, which is not complicated, but it is quite effective.
As soon as he entered the training ground, Derick Berg, who had a "hurricane axe" in his back at his waist, saw the gorgeous Elder Lovia, who seemed to be only in his thirties, and also saw two acquaintances of the same age.
- Silver City is only so big, limited by the environment, the population has not been able to grow, a group of people say a lot less, say more and not more, Daric dare not say that he knows all of them, but he has seen most of them, and some of them are years of general education classmates plus training ground companions.
In this exploration team, Darick is most familiar with Duck Riggins, who was once his patrol teammate.
This young man named Darker is of medium height, slightly chubby, known for his strength, optimistic and cheerful, with an often approachable smile on his face, and is currently the Sequence 8 "Gladiator" of the "Giant" pathway.
At this moment, the two sides are separated by a translucent but steel-hard wall, and they cannot make effective contact, and they must wait for all the members of the exploration team to confirm that there is no problem before the two sides can meet directly.
Darek, who had become silent and withdrawn since his parents' deaths, waved his hand and greeted Dark.
The "gladiator" noticed it and looked sideways.
"How's it going, Dark, aren't you in any danger?" called out Derik.
The black wall was made of a material not far from Silver City, called "Dark Amber", which was as hard as steel and yet had a certain degree of transparency and good sound conductivity, and Daric's words passed through without hindrance.
In Darik's mind, Darke would definitely show a bright smile, and habitually waved his arms and said, "You see that I didn't suffer any injuries, so I should know that we didn't encounter anything too dangerous, it was all a small problem!"
Hearing his voice, Duck took a few steps, approached the wall, and replied with a smile:
"No, it has been smooth. ”
Looking at his indispensable smile, Derrick suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if he were sleeping at night on the top of an abandoned tower or a ruined city, surrounded by darkness and an undercurrent of savings.
............
Within the Cragg Club, Klein and Dr. Allen agreed on compensation:
2 pounds!
I have to say that doctors' money is easy to earn...... Before me, I paid a maximum of 10 sules for such an entrustment...... Crane, who had already had the heart to take on this task, sighed in his heart.
He remembered that when he was in the Night Watch Squad, he heard the "corpse collector" Frye mention that well-known doctors were well paid.
At the time, the poet Leonard Mitchell, who was not like a poet, responded that as far as he knew, if he bought a house in the bustling area of Beckland as a store, the quickest option to pay for himself was to convert it into a clinic.
The two agreed to visit Will Onsetin's house after dinner, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, so the equestrian teacher Talim beckoned the three of them, gathered a table, and played with upgrades, the kind invented by Russell the Great.
What I want to do is play tennis, practice shooting, and flip through the books in the library, and live a healthy life...... But why is it the way it is...... During the break in playing cards, Crane thought to himself.
Frankly speaking, with his current "magic" skills, he can completely make Dr. Allen, Reporter Mike, and Talim lose all the money they have on them.
But I'm an honest guy and I trust my skills and luck more...... Crane picked up the shortbread and took a bite of it with pleasure as the red vest waiter shuffled the cards.
He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart:
That's life!
While playing cards, Klein noticed one thing, and that was that Talim, the equestrian teacher, was no longer in a daze and full of annoyances as before.
The matter of his friend falling in love with someone he shouldn't love is solved?Crane took a sip of Marquis tea, and thought curiously.
As a detective, he knew that this matter should not be asked in front of others, so he pressed it down and concentrated on playing cards.
At five o'clock, Mike Joseph had to return to the club, and the four-man game was aborted, and Klein won 5 Soles.
I've been really lucky lately...... Crane was relieved and admired, and when he saw Dr. Allen leave the table and go to the bathroom, he controlled his voice and said with a low smile:
"Talim, your friend's matter is settled?"
As Talim threw the cards in his hand to the middle of the table, he was stunned for a moment, and sighed and smiled:
"Sort of. ”
He added, with a keen desire to communicate:
"Actually, it wasn't too serious, I was thinking too much about it at the time.
"To put it simply, a young gentleman of a prominent position falls in love with a commoner woman, you know, a man of similar status must marry a noble lady, well, for him, not even the daughter of a rich man. ”
That's right...... I owe a lot of bloody and bizarre stories to my brain, such as falling in love with a man, falling in love with a monster, and falling in love with an object that is not allowed by ethical relationships...... Klein was disappointed for a while, and said with a smile:
"As far as I know, upper-class men don't mind having a mistress outside. ”
"No, Sherlock, you don't understand, love, understand? Love! The young gentleman only wanted to marry the commoner. Talim sighed.
Yes, I don't understand, I'm just a single dog...... Klein opened his mouth, speechless.
Talim sighed to himself:
"For the sake of that young gentleman's future, I thought of asking you to find someone with some magical abilities, stealthily, hehe, in short, I am a law-abiding person, and I only think about it in my head. ”
"How did things work out?" Klein asked with interest.
Talim took a sip of highland coffee:
"The solution was simpler than I had imagined, and I went straight to the lady and told her of the predicament, and she sensibly offered to leave the gentleman and asked me for my help.
"I have to say, she is such a thoughtful, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl, if I don't think about her status, maybe I will kneel in front of her and kiss the back of her hand. ”
"Well, I don't think I can help. Klein picked up the white glazed porcelain inlaid gold thread cup for black tea.
As a visitor to Earth, he is not at all interested in beating mandarin ducks with sticks and destroying other people's love commissions.
But when gossip is listened to is another matter.
............
After dinner at the Cragg Club and a limited supply of Sunia lobster, Klein rode in the latter's carriage with Dr. Allen to the Will Ansettin home at 66 Dalton Street in the North End.
This was the address that Dr. Allen had remembered for a long time, and he did not go back to the hospital to look through the corresponding medical records, and according to Klein's guess, most of the information about Will Onsetin had been siphoned off by the night watchers.
As a former night watcher, I know how they do things...... Crane sighed with a wry smile.
Ringing the doorbell, the two waited for a while before seeing the door opened, and the maid in a black and white dress asked suspiciously:
"Gentlemen, who are you looking for?"
Seeing that Alan was still in his usual cold appearance, Klein took the initiative to speak:
"We went to Will Onsetin, his attending physician, to make a follow-up visit to confirm his health. ”
"I, I don't know about him, I've only been here for a few days...... I'll go find my master, and you wait. The maid replied blankly.
While the two were waiting, Alan suddenly said loudly:
"I almost believed the reason you just found. ”
"This is the basic quality of being a detective. Crane chuckled.
At this time, an old gentleman in his fifties came to the door and said in a deep voice:
"Will Ensette's family has moved out and is in ......"
He gave a date.
Alan calculated a little, and then frowned:
"I just had two days after the operation, how could I be tired and moved?"
He acted like he was on a door-to-door visit.
Klein asked, slightly puzzled:
"Sir, how do you know so clearly?"
Normally, subsequent tenants will definitely move in after a while.
The old gentleman replied angrily: "Someone has already come to ask before, and I went to the landlord on purpose." ”
Nightwatchers...... Crane asked without much hope:
"Do you know where Will Ensette's family has moved?"
"Nope. The old gentleman spat out only one word.
"And did they leave anything here?" Klein pondered for a moment, and continued to ask.
"There are some. The old gentleman took a breath and said, "But it's all for the people from before!"
It's really a helpless thing to meet peers...... They always think of things ahead of you that you will come up with...... Crane couldn't help but want to sigh.
Seeing that there were no more clues in the follow-up, Klein and Allen politely said goodbye and left 66 Dalton Street.
"It seems that your doubts will be solved for a long time. Klein tilted his head to Dr. Allen.
Alan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly exhaled:
"After what happened just now, I'm not so troubled, I'm a doctor, it's enough to do my own thing, I should pay a return visit to health, instead of questioning the situation, what other people think, why they are not kind, it's not a problem that I should pay attention to, and try to only maintain the relationship between doctors and patients in the future. ”
"If you think so, that's for the best. Klein chimed in and casually asked, "What was wrong with Will Onsetin's left leg at the time?"
"His left calf had a strange ring of tumors that happened to form a ring, and it severely compressed the blood vessels. "But the child didn't have a painful expression, just a little scared, and we initially wanted to treat it conservatively, but it quickly deteriorated." ”
PS: The three watches are completed, and the monthly pass ~ the promised plus more is all completed.
