Chapter Eighty-Nine: Simple Mission
Klein nodded and said:
"Okay, but I don't know exactly what my mission is. ”
"A mission that is not dangerous, at least for now, there are no signs of danger. Dunn emphasized the point before he said, "This is a case transferred from the Golden Sycamore District Police Station, the famous philanthropist Sir Deville has been strangely harassed for a month, but neither his bodyguards, the hired security personnel, nor the police can find the culprit, and the Inspector Toller in charge of this matter is highly suspicious of supernatural powers, so he submitted it to us." ”
I had seen Sir de Ville in the library and found him to be in a very bad mood and in a weak spirit, which turned out to be harassment...... Klein frowned slightly and said:
"What kind of harassment?"
This matter has not yet caused substantial harm, and it is indeed not dangerous.
"Sir de Ville heard crying and moaning every night, wherever he slept, whether he was in Tingen or not, and this made his sleep very poor. Dunn flipped through the information in his hand and said, "He has seen a psychiatrist, and he has also asked the housekeepers and servants around him, and confirmed that it is not a hallucination, so he suspects that someone is harassing." ”
Closing the file, Dunn looked up at Klein:
"You go to the break room to change into your Probationary Inspector outfit and go to the Shooting Club lobby to meet Inspector Toller and he will tell you more details. ”
"Probationary Inspector Attire?" Klein subconsciously asked.
Dunn rubbed his forehead and smiled:
"Half of our salary is paid by the National Police Agency, and the name of Probationary Inspector doesn't just exist in the file. The first time you met Leonard and I, we were in the same uniforms, and that's a perk that every full-fledged member of the team has, well, the kind of perk that Russell the Great said. ”
It's a pity that you can't usually wear it, otherwise you can have an extra set of clothes to change clothes...... Klein grabbed his cane, saluted, and exited the captain's office.
He came to the lounge diagonally opposite, and saw a black and white checkered uniform including leather boots, a soft hat inlaid with the coat of arms of "two swords crossed and a crown clustered", and a black and white badge with a silver star shining on the shoulder.
"This is the Probationary Inspector?" Klein glanced at and noticed that there was an inconspicuous number below the silver star of the epaulettes: "06-254".
At present, he has a preliminary understanding of the police hierarchy in the Kingdom of Rune, and understands that at the top are the Minister of Police and the Chief Secretary of Police, below which are the Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and Assistant Superintendent of each police department, in the middle are the Superintendent and Inspector, and at the bottom are the Sergeant and Constable.
Closing the door, Crane took off his formal attire, took off his hat, and changed into his uniform.
Hanging up his clothes, he pushed the door open and entered the civilian office, where he took a full-length mirror that Roshan had obtained.
The young man in the mirror was shaky with black hair, gentle brown eyes, and a uniform made him a little more heroic than usual.
"Not bad. Crane said happily narcissistically, leaving his cane in his office, and turned and walked out of Blackthorn Security.
In his pocket, there are as many police officer certificates as all types of weapons use certificates.
............
Inside the hall of the shooting club.
Crane saw Inspector Toller because he was the only one here wearing a police uniform.
Of course, I'm going to be added now...... Klein silently added.
Inspector Toller had two silver stars in his epaulettes, his clothes were propped up by his belly, and he had a thick brownish beard on his face, and he was tall but not formidable, or had ever been mighty.
"Moretti, Klein Moretti?" Toller looked up and down a few times, and smiled at him.
"Hello, Inspector Toller, I don't think you're mistaken. Klein replied wittily, and, according to his impression, raised his right hand, folded his five fingers, and bowed.
Toller laughed and said:
"I can see that you are an easy young man, so I can rest assured that we will go to Sir de Ville's house now?"
Although his rank as a police officer was higher than that of Crane, there was a clear inquiring tone in his tone.
"No problem. Crane thought for a moment and said, "You can give me the details in the carriage." ”
"Okay. Touching his thick brown beard, Toller led Klein out of the shooting club and into a wagon parked opposite.
The carriage is painted with the coat of arms of "two swords crossed and a crown clustered" and is driven by a special coachman.
"Sir de Ville is a devotee of the Goddess, so we have passed the case on to you. As soon as Toller sat down, he couldn't wait to confess.
"I know that Jazz is a regular on newspaper content and magazine covers. Klein smiled softly.
Toller picked up the document bag next to him, unwrapped it, pulled out the materials, and said as he flipped through them:
"Whether you know it or not, I need to give you a detailed introduction. ”
"Sir de Ville was one of the richest men in Tingen, starting his career in the lead and porcelain factories and now spreading through steel, coal, shipping, banking and securities, and he was a great philanthropist praised by the King, establishing the Deville Charitable Foundation, the Deville Trust Company, and the Deville Library...... He was given the title of Lord five years ago...... If he is willing to run for mayor, I don't think anyone in Tingen will be his opponent. ”
"However, his target is Beckland, he wants to become a member of the Upper House of the Kingdom, and we once suspected that his harassment had something to do with it, but we couldn't find any clues. ”
Klein bowed his head lightly and said:
"I can't rule it out, but I can't say anything for sure right now. ”
Without dwelling too much on this issue, Toller continued:
"From the 6th of last month, every night when Sir de Ville went to sleep, he heard a numbing groan of pain, like a dying patient struggling, and he examined the rooms around him, and found nothing unusual, and the butlers and servants confirmed that there were similar sounds, but they heard very little movement. ”
At first, Sir de Ville thought it was going to pass soon, and didn't pay much attention to it, but the groans of pain became more and more frequent, even during the day, and there were more heart-pounding weeping. ”
This caused Sir de Ville to lose sleep again and again, and to leave Tingen for the country house, but to no avail, and the moaning and crying still haunted him, and even if he went to Beckland, the matter did not subside, but was relatively less serious. ”
"He asked security personnel to look around, but they didn't find any leads, and our initial investigation was similarly unproductive. ”
Sir de Ville was so devastated by the torture for more than a month that he went to the psychiatrist again and again, but could not get rid of it, and told us that if the problem could not be solved within a week, he would move out of Tingen and go to Beckland, where he believed that someone would be able to help him. ”
After listening to Toler's description, Klein quickly analyzed the possibilities:
Which extraordinary person did you offend and fall under a curse?
No, if it was a curse, the steward and the servant could not hear the same voice......
Among the servants and bodyguards lurks an extraordinary person who doesn't know what purpose?
But the problem is that for more than a month, no one has asked Sir de Ville......
Maybe Sir DeVille accidentally got on the "dirty" thing like the Evil Spirit?
This reason is not ruled out......
Crane was in a state of thought, and the carriage entered the Golden Sycamore district and stopped at Sir de Vey's door.
There are flourishing gardens surrounded by iron railings, openwork iron gates with two statues, springs that constantly gush and bathe in marble statues, two-story houses that cover an area of great space, and roads large enough for three carriages to run in parallel.
"There are only two floors to the Jazz House...... The newspaper said that Beckland was experimenting with a ten-story apartment building...... "Klein stepped out of the carriage and saw a police officer with three V's on his epaulettes walking briskly to meet him.
He glanced at Klein, raised his hand and saluted:
"Good morning, sir!"
"Good morning. Crane smiled.
Toller laughed beside him:
"This is Sheriff Gate, you can tell him anything. ”
"This is Probationary Inspector Mr. Moretti, a historian and psychologist at the County Police Department. Toller introduced Git again.
...... I can't afford it...... Klein was ashamed.
After greeting each other, Gate pointed to the two-story house behind the fountain and said:
"Sir de Ville is waiting for us. ”
"Okay. Klein reached out and touched the revolver on his waist.
This is his greatest reliance on the enemy at present.
- Because he has changed into a police uniform, he can openly put the pouch on his waist and make it easy to pull out.
As they spoke, a group of three people walked along the wide road, bypassed the fountain, and came to the outside of the main entrance.
At this time, a servant had already opened the door and waited respectfully.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the house yet, Crane pretended to tidy up his hat, pinched his eyebrows twice, and turned on the "Spiritual Vision".
In the bright drawing-room, the square-faced Sir de Ville rubbed his forehead, his spirits were quite poor, his dark blonde hair and blue eyes were dry or dull, and he seemed to be five years old.
"Good morning, sir. Klein, Tollor, and Gate saluted at the same time.
Sir de Ville stood up, barely squeezing out a smile in response:
"Good morning, three officers, I hope you can solve my troubles. ”
At this time, Klein's eyes narrowed, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Apart from the fact that he was in poor spirits, he found no problem with Sir de Vee.
That's weird...... He thought for a moment and said:
"Sir, in which room did you first hear moaning?"
"My bedroom. Sir de Ville shook his head.
"Can we take a look?" Klein asked.
"Haven't you checked a few times?" the middle-aged butler next to him asked with a frown.
Obviously, he didn't recognize Klein as the companion of the "gold-picker" well-wisher.
Klein smiled gently:
"That's my colleague, not me. ”
"Sir, this is an expert sent by the National Police Agency. Toller seized the moment to make a statement.
DeVille took a deep look at the young expert and said:
"Okay, Karen, you take them to my bedroom. ”
"Sir, I want you to come with us. Klein said earnestly.
DeVille hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"If this helps solve the problem......"
As he spoke, he picked up his cane and walked vaguely towards the stairs, where Cullen, the butler, and several bodyguards were huddled around, ready to help.
Crane looked around, silently but calmly following.
One step, two steps, three steps...... They made their way to the second floor and into the master bedroom.
Before he could examine the environment, Crane's hairs stood on end.
Here's feedback from his inspiration!
