Chapter 157: Applause from the Audience
Bounties, fares, potions with extraordinary effects...... Emlyn White didn't react for a moment.
This was not the answer he expected.
What about gentlemanly manners?, the vampire thought stunned.
As a detective, it is a necessary quality to be clear-scored, and you also delayed me from going to the Cragg Club, I don't know what the limited supply is for these two days...... Klein looked at Emlyn White and half-jokingly sneered.
After a few seconds, Emlyn smiled and said:
"You have to see the patient to make the right medicine. ”
Listening to the tone, you're very confident...... Crane nodded thoughtfully.
He immediately thought of a question:
The White family seems to be excellent Potions scholars, and I'm really going to be hurt and poisoned, so I can come to them for treatment...... The "pharmacist" formula that I had worked so hard to get from Father Utravsky was useless, and I didn't need to train an assistant who was good at healing...... Plans don't change as fast as they do......
However, it is not a waste, the cost has been recovered from Miss "Magician", and there is such a thing as a formula, as long as it exists, it will always be valuable......
And the White family will definitely stay away from Riverbend Avenue in the future and hide their identities again to settle down, I may not be able to find it, it's not so convenient......
No, before the hint of the "Nightmare Candle" is resolved, go to the Harvest Church and squat at it, you should be able to wait until Emlyn White......
Thinking of this, Klein took off his hat and saluted:
"No problem, I'll take you there then.
"I won't delay you. ”
Emlyn White's expression changed for a moment, and he said hesitantly:
"If you can remove the effects of the Nightmare Candle, you can get more paid as well as ......"
He paused, raised his chin and said, "And the friendship of the blood clan." ”
I'm a "magician", I have a sun brooch and a biotoxin bottle, and my use of the mind and body is limited to psychics, what can I do? Among the people I know, Miss "Justice" is relatively close, but she is only sequence 8, just a "mind reader"...... Unless, unless you convert to "Fools Who Do Not Belong to This Era", we can study how to use the knowledge recorded in the Book of Secrets to help you solve this problem through the corresponding rituals...... Speaking of which, vampires also seem to be worshippers of the primordial moon, similar to the witch kings...... The ancient god recorded in Silver City, the vampire ancestor Lilith, can't it be the primordial moon, right? Crane smiled thoughtlessly:
"I'll keep an eye on it for you. ”
Emlyn White nodded, said no more, and turned around impatiently, rushing to the door.
If it weren't for the coachman's continued vicinity, he would have spread his black bat wings and soared straight to the second floor.
Klein laughed and shook his head with emotion.
He took the horse-drawn carriage he had just taken to the steam metro station, which was not far away, and returned to 15 Minsk Street, Jowood District.
Before entering the door, Klein, who had become a habit, opened the mailbox and checked for letters.
To his surprise, there was indeed a letter.
The letter, unstamped, reads Attn: Detective Sherlock Moriarty and is addressed to Jürgen Cooper.
Suspiciously, Lawyer Klein picked up the envelope and tore it open.
By the light of the street lamp, he saw a piece of paper and two bills inside.
The denominations of these two banknotes are 1 sso and 5 suckers.
6 Sules in total...... During this time, I fed the cat three times...... It was agreed that there were 2 soles at a time...... Crane opened the door and entered the house with a sudden start, lighting the gas lamp.
Unfolding the letter, he found that there was not much on it, and that the words handwritten by Jürgen were as meticulous and serious as his own.
"Dear Detective Moriarty:
"Thank you for taking care of Brody during this time, this is the reward you deserve.
"I rang the doorbell twice, and when I found that you were not at home, I had to put the reward in an envelope and put it in your mailbox.
"If I don't, I may not be able to come back until tomorrow evening, and I will miss the time agreed to be made, which my grandmother promised tonight.
"As a lawyer, I value the validity of oral contracts and want to be strictly enforced.
"Finally, thank you again.
"Jürgen Cooper. ”
Mr. Lawyer, your thanks are really dry and meaningless, and you are not as good as Brody, and your explanation of your behavior is very detailed, which is really standard Huergen style...... Moreover, if I were on Earth, I might not have looked at the mailbox downstairs once in a few months before I crossed over...... Crane smiled and folded the bill, put it in his pocket, then pulled out the letter and wrote a letter to Detective Stuart.
After the opening greetings, he wrote thoughtfully:
“...... I found Emlyn White at the Harvest Church near Tutva Street, a very small church belonging to the Church of Mother Earth God, which is rare in Rune...... Emlyn White claimed that she had chosen to run away from home because of something, and was later taken in by the bishop of Harvest Church, where she lived and became a ......"
Klein thought for a moment and wrote down the word "volunteer."
Then, he said succinctly:
After my persuasion, he has returned to 48 Riverbend Avenue, but he may often volunteer at Harvest Church. ”
Once he had finished writing, Klein read through it, then put down his pen and folded the letter neatly.
He dug out the envelope, but did not affix the corresponding stamp, and planned to hire someone to deliver it directly to Stuart's home tomorrow.
- If you go through the kingdom's postal system, even if you put the letter in the mailbox now, it will have to be picked up tomorrow, and then there will be sorting and delivery processes, so although the same royal capital Beckland, Stuart will at least have to hope to see the letter the day after tomorrow before he can notify the White couple, and Emlyn White is now a penniless guy with only a puppet.
It's also about getting paid sooner...... Klein chuckled, cleaned up the coffee table, and went back to the second floor to brush his teeth and take a bath.
............
On Wednesday morning, after spending 2 soles and entrusting a coachman to deliver the letter, Klein bought some of the main ingredients for the Didsey paella, intending to make an egg fried rice today.
Thinking of the white rice, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After spending a certain amount of time and going through all kinds of tossing and turning in the utensils and kitchen, he finally made a pot of fragrant egg fried rice, accompanied by cured meat and black tea, and almost burst into tears.
It's really nostalgic and touching...... Klein, who had eaten two large plates of egg fried rice, slumped in his chair and stroked his stomach.
In the case of Emlyn White, because the opponent did not play his cards according to common sense, his performance had ended before it really began, and he failed to achieve the expected purpose, so he could only find another opportunity to take the initiative to perform.
In this regard, Klein is not without gain, and failure is also experience, which at least made him understand one thing:
"Unlike ordinary magicians, my 'show' has not only assistants, but also enemies, but also people involved, and their reactions, their choices, will also affect the development of things, and these factors must be taken into account in advance......
"It's a lesson, and it's better to be taught a lesson in something like this than to be taught to be a human being in something important......"
Klein looked at the empty plate in front of him and thought about what else he could take the initiative to do.
After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was none.
Of course, it's not that there is absolutely none, but it's just not suitable for him to do it now.
For example, the evil spirit in the ruins of the Quaternary Tudor Dynasty, Klein has always wanted to solve it, but even with the addition of Sharon, who has the "Crimson Moon Crown", and Marich, who has obtained the trait of the out-of-control "Resentful Spirit", he doesn't think that he and others can fight against high-level monsters, and he may not know how he died.
Taking the initiative to perform is not the same as taking the initiative to die, and it is not the same as taking your life to perform...... Klein admonished himself in his heart.
There was another thing he wanted to do, but he didn't think he had any chance.
The search was for Will Unsetin, the strange kid who had brought bad luck to Surgeon Allen.
The tarot card in the other party's hand, Klein has always been very interested, wanting to confirm whether it is a magical item.
Unfortunately, this has already been taken over by the "Night Watchman", and Klein is not too eager to mix in the actions of his former colleagues.
When Dr. Allen rests, go to the Kragg Club to check on the progress before deciding what to do...... Klein's idea quickly took shape.
As far as he knows, Dr. Allen usually has free time on Friday afternoons and Sundays and goes to the Kragg Club to play tennis.
And just now, Klein also determined one thing through today's "Beckland Morning Post", that is, there will be a gathering of extraordinary people convened by the old gentleman of "Wisdom Eye" tomorrow night.
For the time being, you can't sell the "Werewolf" extraordinary properties or biotoxin bottles, and you can't even find someone to make the former into a magical item...... The high-order powerhouses of the Rose School must still be active nearby, and they must be full of rage, eager to find and shred Sharon, Marić, and their helpers...... This aspect needs to be low-key during this time...... Crane picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and began to clean up the table.
He originally thought that if he didn't have the opportunity to perform, he would take a break today and spend a leisurely day at the Kragg Club, but he remembered the Amon clone who could spot the gray fog and try to infiltrate it, and remembered the role that the Book of Secrets played in that crisis.
So Klein lit the fireplace in the living room and brought the Book of Secrets back to the real world, then read intently, pondered it, and jot down notes.
Of course, he would have burned the corresponding notes on the gray fog afterwards.
Before he knew it, at noon, he suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell being rang.
Hiding the Book of Secrets, Crane entered the living room and headed straight for the door.
The visitor is none other than Detective Stuart, who has a thin face but a beard.
He looked at Klein with great reverence and great exhilaration, and couldn't wait to praise:
"You are really a great detective, with rich resources and channels, you can solve this kind of missing person case without any clues, you can solve it so quickly!"
...... Why do I feel like my spirituality has changed slightly? It seems like the potion has been digested a little more...... In other words, my "performance" was successful in a certain way, but the audience was only the one in front of me, and only he was blinded, and only saw that the result was good...... "applause from the audience" was really useful...... Crane was stunned and smiled enthusiastically.
