The figure in the mirror was clear, but the woman in the black court dress just now was no longer visible, she seemed to have never appeared. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Crane quietly turned on his vision, but found nothing.

I'm not going to hire a female ghost as a bodyguard, is it? It's weirder than a female ghost...... At least the psychic vision can see the ghosts...... Crane thoughtfully touched the Azk brass whistle in his coat pocket, only to feel that the shade and cold were still there, and there was no additional change.

Unaffected by the Copper Whistle...... Doesn't look like a necromancer...... However, I can't be sure that the copper whistle followed me to the burial, but the dead in the surrounding circle did not appear abnormal...... Because those buried in the cemetery have undergone the requiem of priests and bishops? when does it work, and when does it not...... When the ambassador's business is over, if I am still alive, I will go to the cemetery and try to figure out the scope and limits, not always like a time bomb...... Klein washed his face, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

He had just picked up the newspaper in the living room and was about to go to the living room or bedroom to look through it, when he heard the doorbell ring.

At the sound of clanging, Crane suddenly tensed up, unusually vigilantly put on a coat of various materials, and walked towards the door.

He clearly remembers that in the last few days there will be danger to come!

Standing behind the door and waiting for a while, Crane naturally had the scene outside in his mind.

The red moon loomed in the sky, and the wet road was illuminated by elegant gas streetlights on both sides of the street, where a boy in an old coat stood with deep red eyes and a little confusion.

Ian Wright?Why did he appear? Isn't this what I saw in my dream divination? This is a precursor to danger? Crane opened the door and took two steps back vigilantly.

"Detective Moriarty. Ian took off his brown yarke hat and bowed his head, "I'm here to say I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to involve you in such a dangerous incident." ”

Klein frowned slightly and said:

"The most important thing you should do is go to the police station. ”

Ian looked around and buried his head slightly:

"I just came out of MI9. ”

That's the name of that special division of the military? Klein got out of the way and pointed to the living room:

"Maybe we can talk. ”

I need to at least know what made me so passive...... He sighed inwardly.

Ian was unkind and followed Klein into the living room and sat down in the same position as last time.

He was about to speak, when Klein suddenly added:

"If you want to say something that will put me in a bigger crisis, then don't talk about it. ”

"No, it's almost over. "Ian has an age-appropriate poise.

Crane breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously:

"So, what's going on?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a figure appear on the bulging belly window pane opposite the living room: a long black court dress, long hair tied in a pale gold bun, blue eyes, delicate countenance, and a pale face, it was the same woman who had greeted Klein in the bathroom mirror before.

The woman seemed to have found an illusory high-backed chair to sit down, with her left palm supporting her right elbow and her right hand supporting her cheek, in an expressionless listening appearance.

...... Klein didn't know how to react for a moment.

At this time, Ian, who had been silent for a few seconds, whispered:

"Actually, Detective Zarrell is a spy for the Vorsack Empire, and he has adopted several stray children and taught them the art of gathering intelligence, including me. ”

So that's it...... I'm involved in a big espionage case...... Klein was stunned.

Ian looked at the coffee table and continued:

"We have the advantage of our age, we are often unnoticed, and we can gather a lot of useful information, and two weeks ago, I stumbled upon a clue to the Hermosiuin manuscript. ”

"Hermosius?" Klein thought the last name was familiar.

Ian looked up at him, explained:

"Turani von Hermosiuin, the greatest scientist since Russell the Great, mathematician, mechanic, father of the second generation of differential machines. ”

It turned out to be him!Klein suddenly remembered the introduction:

This is not only a great scientist, but also a mad scientist, he believes that human beings have essential defects, and can only use machines to obtain the ultimate truth, he loves sugar, seems to use this as his own source of energy, and mysteriously disappeared while studying the third generation of differential machines, and is an important figure in the efforts of various countries to find.

"His manuscript, the manuscript of the third-generation differential machine?" Crane asked tentatively.

The difference machine is a mechanical device used for computing that can effectively improve the efficiency of scientific research and various projects, and in Klein's view, this is an alternative computer in the age of steam, of course, only computing power at present.

Ian shook his head and said:

"I don't know, I haven't actually seen it, maybe there are some related ideas. ”

He paused, and then told the story again:

"I reported the incident to Detective Zerrell, who was so happy that I followed the lead, and he immediately reported it to his superiors. ”

"It took me some time to finally determine the whereabouts of the manuscript, but I was afraid of the danger and didn't go straight to steal it, so I decided to return to Detective Zerrell, and after that, as I told you, Detective Zerrell's house was infiltrated, many small agencies were not restored, he did not respond to my request for contact, and the Zmanger tried to catch me......"

"Through your help, I confirmed the death of Detective Zerrell, removing a denture from his corpse, well, after we separated. ”

"Detective Zerrell told me that the inside of the denture was inscribed with the way to contact his boss urgently, a method that even he didn't know about, and that he would only remove it if something happened unexpectedly. ”

Klein bowed his head lightly and said:

"So you took a telegram?"

Ian was stunned for a rare moment, and said:

"MI9 told you?"

"No, a friend of mine happened to see you on White Rum Street. Klein casually made up a reason.

"Hmm. Ian nodded frustratedly, "I got in touch with Detective Zerrell's boss in Beckland via telegram, and agreed on the time, place, and manner of the meeting in ciphertext, but soon I was found by the Zmanga party, no, to be precise, Intis's intelligence officers, which was told to me by MI9." ”

"Luckily, MI9 arrived in time and the two sides got into a scuffle, and I took the opportunity to escape. ”

"However, when I met with Detective Zerell's boss this afternoon, I was ambushed again by the Intis intelligence officers, and unfortunately I was caught by them, I, I was afraid of death, and told them everything I knew, however, they did not keep their promise, and still wanted to kill me, at this time, MI9 finally came to me. ”

At this time, you look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy...... Klein just sighed, and suddenly thought of a question from Ian's words just now:

When he found that there were still items that seemed to be very important left on Zereel's corpse, and they were successfully taken away by Ian, he just thought that the extraordinary person on the other side was not of high level, his strength was not good, and the effect of "psychic" was not good, and he failed to get a lot of useful information, so there were mistakes and omissions.

However, after confirming that the ambassador has a "soothsayer" in the middle sequence, this matter becomes very strange, and it is impossible for the denture to go undetected under the powerful "psychic".

And the corpse being left in such a remote and hard-to-find place does not seem like a preset trap.

Combined with Ian's description just now, the answer is about to come out.

Klein nodded and said:

"Have you ever thought that Zereel's boss has betrayers around him, betrayers who have taken refuge in the Intis intelligence service?"

"That's why Zariel was exposed and died after getting the manuscript clues, and why you were ambushed. ”

It was because Ambassador Intis was in possession of Zerell's boss that he didn't care much about the emergency contact information inscribed on the inside of the dentures!

Zereel's report to his boss directly led to his accident..

Ian was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists in annoyance for a long time, and said in an effort to remain calm:

"I didn't expect that, you're such a good detective......"

He exhaled quietly, and instead described:

"I also told MI9 about the whereabouts of the manuscript, and everything else, and they told you what happened to you, and well, they didn't even suspect me of lying, they didn't send anyone to watch over me, they all went to snatch the manuscript, but under that pressure, no one could lie. ”

Speaking of this, Ian stood up, bowed deeply, and said:

"Allow me to say sorry again. ”

"I'm sorry to get you involved in this kind of thing, actually, you don't have to hide anything for me. ”

Crane, who understood the reason before and after, smiled and said:

"No, in this case, it was mainly my own mistakes that led me to my current situation. ”

While listening just now, he reviewed the whole thing according to Ian's description and the reflection of the past few days, and confirmed that he had made two mistakes:

"I found out that Ian's matter was a bit deep, but he still took the commission, which was no problem, at that time, I just felt that there would be gangsters, at most there were one or two extraordinary people who did not dare to expose themselves in the shadows, and the divination lacked enough information, and the result was a failure...... This is within the scope of its own solution, normally, there will be no trouble, and maybe you can take the opportunity to contact the extraordinary person of Beckland. ”

"After finding Zereel's body and determining that the water is very deep, considering that his identity is sensitive, he immediately withdrew decisively and let Ian handle the follow-up by himself, which is no problem, and it is a very cautious choice. ”

"One of the mistakes I made was that Meursault didn't admit decisively when he came to the door, and shook out Ian-related things, but at that time, I only thought that the opposite side was a gang, and it was a few extraordinary people behind the gang, who knew that it would involve a character like Ambassador Intis, and what I didn't expect was that Meursault was so reckless, and after the entrusted task failed, he didn't make threats and intimidation, didn't go through other processes, and went directly to the door to kill people and psychic, and didn't give me a chance to regret it at all, and my situation deteriorated. ”

So, it's not a mistake that is too subjective and too serious. ”

"One of the mistakes that really made me so passive was the small mistake I made at the beginning, renting in the name of Sherlock Moriarty and accepting commissions without pretending!"

"This led to the fact that after the identity of the extraordinary person was exposed to the ambassador, he did not dare to escape, even if he showed panic and panic, so that MI9 and the police department thought that my escape was a natural thing, he did not dare to escape, for fear that the ambassador would not find a target for revenge, so he mentioned it to the official in passing, and according to my experience as a night watchman, most of the 'law enforcement officers' are hostile to the uncontrolled extraordinary person, and they will definitely not ignore me because of the low sequence, and will inevitably carry out an investigation. ”

"When the time comes, my appearance will be clear and clear evidence, and I will be hunted down by the high-ranking powerhouses of the Goddess Church because I was involved in a level 0 seal and came back from the dead. ”

"This kind of thing can't be pinned on the other party to suddenly forget, or not take it to heart, you must plan for the worst in advance, if you wait for the ambassador to take any action before responding, it will definitely be too late, whether it is assassination, or to find bodyguards, to buy goods, it will take enough time. ”

"I can only solve this hidden danger if the ambassador dies and his assistant dies with him, or if I turn my attention to investigating the cause of the ambassador's death, his assistant has no official identity and cannot have direct contact with the official, for the sake of a small sequence 9, at most sequence 8, and the guy who is missing, it is certainly impossible to go to great lengths to report it. ”

"Of course, if he dies for the best outcome, then there is no hidden danger. ”

"Compared to asking Mr. Azik for help, getting back into sight of '0-08', and being hunted down by high-level powerhouses, assassinating the ambassador is the easiest option...... If you fail, you can only live with one of these two outcomes......"

"Hey, everything stems from a small negligence at the beginning, I just thought about a metropolis of more than five million people, no one knows their metropolis, and avoided the night watch, there is no need to disguise every day, this is easy to be seen by people, as a result, for such a small mistake, in the end to pay the price of more than 10,000 gold pounds, and may not be able to solve the ......"

"It's like a clown who makes a mistake and causes a chain reaction, and then struggles and tries to balance in order to please the audience......"

"This is the loss of inexperience, and this is the first time in my two lives that I have been a 'fugitive'. ”

"When this matter is completely resolved, and then the identity of the extraordinary person is revealed, it will not be so dangerous, they will only think that I got the potion in the recent process of looking for a bodyguard, instead of doubting my origin, of course, after that, I have to get used to wearing glasses, growing a beard, so that the people around me gradually get used to my new image, and when asked about me in the future, they can only think of such an image. ”

Thinking about the whole thing, Klein's smile became more and more pronounced, and Ian felt weird with his smile.

"It's time for me to go, I'm going to disappear for a while, or I'll probably end up in jail. Ian put on his hat and left.

Crane didn't stop him, watching him disappear into the crimson moonlight, and the lady in the convex window had disappeared at some point.
