Chapter 195: "Lockpicking Expert" Klein
After a few seconds, Crane turned on his vision and looked around the room, only to see that under the crimson moonlight, Mrs. Sharron's bedroom was luxuriously and gorgeously furnished.
Thick carpets, large spaces, velvet quilt covers, messy tables with various skin care and cosmetics products, jewelry with different sparkles, half-open and half-hidden cloakrooms, light clothes and suspenders casually thrown on rocking chairs, and many ornaments inlaid with gold threads, all caught Klein's eyes.
The most eye-catching thing in the whole room is an unfinished oil painting, on which is the naked Lady Sharon herself, her brown hair is like a waterfall, and her brown eyes are like the eyes of a deer in the forest, pure and moist, but the eyebrows are curved, the nose and lips are straight, and the charm of a mature woman is outlined, and the two are blended together in a contradictory posture, but exude amazing charm.
Neck down, Klein only glanced at it, didn't take a closer look, this is not a fake formal dress, he even looked at the other party's "little dirt", what are you afraid of "little yellow rabbit"?
His attention was drawn to the paints, plates, brushes, and a silver-plated full-length mirror next to the painting.
This combination, this placement, such a positional relationship, gave him a strange idea that the author of this oil painting was Mrs. Sharon herself, and not a certain painter she hooked up.
A woman with a beautiful face, an outstanding figure, charming and innocent, stripped naked, looked in the mirror, depicted herself, and recorded her beauty...... It feels weird like this...... Mrs. Sharon is too narcissistic, isn't she?βCrane muttered silently, withdrew his gaze, and began to rummage through possible evidence of a crime.
According to Leonard and Fry, he always wore black gloves and memorized the original appearance of each place he searched so that he could recover it afterwards.
For a "soothsayer", this is not the slightest difficulty, and if you forget, you can easily recall it with the technique of "dream divination".
Of course, before going out tonight, he also divined himself, there was no danger, and it was quite smooth.
This is what a good god should do...... Even if I'm already a "clown...... Crane complained to himself, and spent nearly twenty minutes searching Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, but he didn't find anything noteworthy, and he didn't see any spiritual light.
Finally, he stopped in front of the safe in the corner of the room.
Iron-gray, it is a meter tall, thick and heavy, giving it an unusually sturdy feel, as if it had brought explosives, and it was impossible to get rid of it.
"It's really like the age of steam...... There must be an extremely complex mechanical combination in it...... "Klein tried to pick the lock, but shamefully failed.
He put the safe to the end for the time being, removing the glove in his left hand and removing the citrine pendant wrapped around his wrist.
Holding the silver chain and letting the pendulum droop, Crane shook off the heat of the room and entered a meditative state.
His eyes deepened, and he whispered to himself:
"This room has a secret room or a secret compartment. β
"This room has a secret room or a secret compartment. β
......
After seven times, Crane's eyes returned to normal, and he looked at the citrine pendant and saw it spinning counterclockwise.
This means negative.
Crane nodded imperceptibly, left Mrs. Sharron's bedroom, and quietly searched the study, living room, tanning room and other places according to the process just now, but failed to find useful and valuable clues.
The reason why he didn't use the "divination rod to find things" was because he didn't know what he was looking for.
Pulling out a silver pocket watch with arabesques, he glanced at it, checked the time, and then turned back to Mrs. Sharon's bedroom.
Carefully closing the wooden door, Crane took out the ceremonial silver dagger and sprayed it with a thin stream of spirituality, allowing it to combine with the forces of nature and seal off the entire room.
He wants to "summon" himself!
He's going to use the spirit to get into that heavy safe and check the contents!
"Master doesn't need to know how to pick locks!" Klein muttered in Chinese.
Because he prayed to himself, all the process could be simplified, and there was no need to be so particular, so Klein took out a candle mixed with sandalwood and lit it with spirituality, even if the altar was arranged.
"Me!"
"I call in my name:"
"A fool who does not belong to this era, a mysterious lord above the gray mist, and a king of yellow and black who rules good fortune. β
The sound of incantations echoed through Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, and Crane's spirit poured out, blending with the candle flame into a gray, palm-sized curtain of light.
Then, he took four steps backwards, pierced the roar, and entered the gray mist.
Glancing at the "Door of Summoning" behind the high-backed chair at the top of the old long table, Crane was about to respond, but suddenly froze.
"Anyway, they're all in, so I'll do a divination by the way and see if I can find any clues...... Here, in addition to the interference will be eliminated, my ability will be somewhat enhanced...... And the circumstances of my body make divination now equivalent to the use of the items that Lady Sharon carries with her......" He sat down, and in front of him he embodied parchment and a round-bellied pen.
What is the divination?Klein fell into thought:
"Lady Sharon has a problem?"
"No, everyone is at fault, everyone has a certain problem. β
"Mrs. Sharon is involved in a crime?"
β...... This is not rigorous enough, as a celebrity of communication, it is normal to be involved in some dirty and unprovable things in political circles...... And what defines the crime? the laws of the Kingdom of Rune, or the Republic of Intis, or my free will?"
......
While the thoughts were rolling, Crane didn't want to delay time, after all, his physical body was still in the real world, so he planned to confirm the few related divinations he had done before.
Picking up the pen, without writing, a divination statement appeared on the parchment in front of him:
"John Maynard's death was influenced by a supernatural element. β
This is the divination that Klein did when he went to Congressman Maynard's house to help the police psychic, and the answer at the time was no.
Holding the silver chain, so that the citrine pendant barely touched the words on the parchment, Crane half-closed his eyes and silently recited the divination statement:
"John Maynard's death was influenced by a supernatural element. β
"John Maynard's death was influenced by a supernatural element. β
......
After repeating it seven times, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum, his pupils shrinking.
A citrine pendant turns clockwise!
And a clockwise turn means yes!
There is a supernatural element in the death of Congressman Maynard!
Klein stared at the slowly calming pendulum, and a huge wave rolled in his heart:
"My divination at that time was affected by someone and interfered with ......"
"Lady Sharon is an extraordinary, quite a powerful extraordinary, or is there someone like this behind her who helped plot the death of Councillor Maynard?"
"In order to get rid of this strong contender for the mayoral throne, in order to get rid of the future members of the House of Commons of the New Party?"
One thought flashed after another, and Klein wrote a new divination statement:
"Mrs. Sharon is extraordinary. β
Still reciting it silently seven times, it was still the "Spiritual Pendulum Method", and Klein completed the divination and saw the answer with the help of some information related to his current environment and Mrs. Sharon.
The answer is that the citrine pendant is turning clockwise, and the answer is yes!
Mrs. Sharon is extraordinary...... Klein's heart tightened, and without any further delay, he immediately responded to his "call" and pushed open the mysterious door.
After the confusion and vertigo, he saw Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, and he saw himself.
Crane half-floated, half-flew up to the bulky safe, reached out his right hand, and cautiously reached inside.
Since Lady Sharon is extraordinary, he must beware of traps placed in the safe.
And in this state of being a spirit body mixed with some power in the mysterious space and most of his own spirituality, Klein no longer needs to do divination, just getting close to danger, he can get a hint - the essence of most divination is to rely on the astral spirit body to travel the spiritual world to obtain revelations, simply put, it comes from his own spirituality.
The near-transparent palm passed through the thick metal door, and Crane didn't notice anything unusual.
After sweeping it up, down, left and right, he rushed forward, and the entire spirit body burrowed into the safe.
He saw that it was divided into three layers, one with standard gold bars, thick banknotes, and more expensive jewelry, and one with many documents lacking covers.
Well, wait for the brass whistle with Mr. Azik to try again...... Klein had experimented with it before, and when the "Sun Flame Charm" and "Azk Bronze Whistle" were completely wrapped in spirits, these two items could then penetrate the obstacles, and seemed to become half-real and half-illusory existences.
The bottom floor of the safe is rather eerie, with only a black-and-white photograph of a young man with clear eyebrows.
"Mrs. Sharon's former lovers, they were forcibly separated, Mrs. Sharon had to marry the old baron, so she began to degenerate, wandering on the beds of one man after another, but deep in her heart, there is still a pure land, every night in the dead of night, she will take out this photo, and ......rub it with tears" Klein instantly made up a sad and desolate romance drama.
However, the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, for the young man in the photograph seemed, probably, probably, looked a little like Mrs. Sharon......
Mrs. Sharon's brother, she's extraordinary...... Damn, she can't be a witch too, is she? Just like Triss, the "instigator"! Crane suddenly flashed in his heart, startling himself.
Why had Triss stayed in Tingen because she had companions here?Klein looked closely at the photograph and felt more and more that the young man resembled Mrs. Sharon.
His almost transparent face grinned, and he felt that he could no longer face up to the "little smear" he had before.
Gathering his emotions, Crane fumbled around the safe again to see if there was anything else hidden.
Although he can't pick up paper now, the feeling of walking through objects is not the same as walking through the air, and the feeling is not the same between items of different densities.
While groping, Klein was suddenly stunned.
On the side of the safe near the wall, he found a hole, a mezzanine!
After confirming that there was no danger, Crane stepped inside, and his vision reflected items such as ointment, incense, and herbal powder, as well as a statue of a god carved from white bones.
The idol was the size of a palm, vaguely a beautiful woman, with very long hair that reached her ankles, and her roots were clear and thick like a viper
At the tip of each hair, an eye is also carved, which is either closed or open, densely packed.
Crane was startled, "smelled" some kind of evil smell, and hurriedly exited the mezzanine.
He finally understood the reason for the failure of the divination chamber and the secret grid just now!
