Chapter 171: Check Yourself Up (Second Shift Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Queens, inside the luxury villa of the Earl of Hall.
The rich aroma of the finest Fenneport St. Desi Mountain coffee and the delicious taste of the queen's black tea are intoxicating scents, and they are surrounded by an elegant three-tiered bracket to complement the delicious and delicate desserts.
It's Audrey's Afternoon Tea.
Her aristocratic friends in the occult came by invitation and sat around and laughed.
After Audrey's quiet guidance, Jane, Murray and others became strongly interested in the "Black Emperor" who appeared last night, and they all set their sights on Cons Leerson, the son of an aristocrat who joined MI9.
"Does that 'Black Emperor' have any extraordinary abilities?" asked the sweet-looking Christine curiously.
Their fathers were at least viscounts, giving them the status and access to extraordinary powers and potions for those who liked the occult, but they were all the same as Audrey in the first place, unwilling to join the Night Watcher, the Punisher Substitute, the Machine Heart, and MI9, and were unwilling to waste a lot of time on official duties.
In addition, the family they belong to cannot be traced back to a thousand years ago, and even the ancient nobles who first established the Kingdom of Rune in the Fourth Age have not been completely loyal to the royal family or become high-ranking members of the military, and they have not been given the formula, even if there are extraordinary materials, they may not be recognized, and they do not know how to use them.
This limits the possibilities for Murray, Christine and others to become extraordinary, making it difficult for them to aspire to, but difficult to take that crucial step.
As for whether their elders had secretly collected potion recipes and cultivated a few extraordinary people belonging to the family, it was not something they could understand, after all, this was not allowed, and if they really had to be seized by the king, they could be deprived of their titles on this ground.
Of course, in the living room at this moment, there are already two betrayers, namely Audrey, who has been promoted to Sequence 8 "Mind Reader", and Viscount Gleilint, who has collected an extraordinary material and will not be long before he becomes a "pharmacist".
The tall and thin young gentleman, Cons, took a sip of coffee and said:
"I'm not going to give a positive answer, I'm just telling you some facts:
"In addition to the traces of the gas explosion in the restaurant where the battle took place, various elements such as toxins, stand-ins, resentful spirit screams, and bullets condensed by divine power have been checked out by various means, by the way, the 'Black Emperor', no, the thief, is in a ghost state. ”
It's not like the one who killed Lieutenant General Hurricane Zielingers, or the one who tackled Lanrius in the sewers...... It was Mr. Fool's third dependents who stole the "Black Emperor" card and created the Caping case? Beckland alone has at least three dependents...... How many dependents will he have? Audrey's heart moved, and she asked in a deliberate ignorance:
"There's a fierce transcendent battle there?"
Murray, under her guidance, asked further:
"Is there an extraordinary person in the Caping family? a powerful extraordinary person?
"He's just a human trafficker......," Viscount Glerint unconsciously expressed his doubts.
Audrey kept a faint smile and curious eyes, patiently waiting for Conse to answer.
Constance laughed and said:
"Murray's guess was correct, there's only so much I can say.
"Do you want me to be locked up by the team leader?"
"There is more than one powerful extraordinaire in the Caping family......
Sure enough, he is not an ordinary human trafficker, and he may have been involved in many mysterious events......
"Trafficking in persons...... Could it be that he was involved in cult sacrifices? Mr. 'Fool''s family members did this against this?
"It was a similar time, involving cults, sacrifices, and the advent of the 'true Creator...... I don't know which cult and which evil god is behind Kaping......
"Mr. 'Fool' seems to have been targeting the evil gods...... Is it really a game between the gods? He doesn't know how many major things he has destroyed those evil gods......" Audrey thought about it a lot, and her heart gradually surged:
The enemy of our Tarot Society is an evil god!
Nothing else is qualified!
Does Mr. "Fool" want to get the title of "Evil God Buster"? Audrey pursed her lips and chuckled inwardly.
Immediately, she put away her emotions and secretly repented:
Audrey, how can you do that? How can you joke with Mr. Fool......
............
At noon, Klein returned to Minsk Street, and unsurprisingly found a letter from a certain coachman in his newspaper box.
This is their agreed emergency contact information.
Of course, according to Klein's prediction, the old Kohler, who didn't know the words, would only tell himself when and where to meet through simple symbols, and who knows, when the letter was spread out, it turned out to be neat words.
With just one glance, Crane confirmed that it matched the handwriting in Daisy's vocabulary.
It seems that this girl wrote it for old Kohler...... This piece of paper is not soaked with moisture, perhaps the old Kohler bought some specifically for emergency contact...... Crane opened the door and walked into the living room to read the letter.
He didn't take off his coat, but took off his hat and leaned on his cane, for the fireplace in the room had not yet been lit, and the cold of early November was silently burrowing into his bones.
The content of the letter was simple, after all, Daisy would not have many words.
She first thanked Mr. Detective for his kindness and kindness, then told Klein that she had returned home safely, and finally tactfully mentioned that Mr. Detective would take the word book with him the next time he came to the East End.
A polite girl...... Crane chuckled, snapped his fingers, and burned the letter, leaving no clues.
He decided to go back to the East End tomorrow to return the vocabulary book to Daisy, and to reimburse old Kohler for the cost of delivering letters and pen and paper.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and chuckled:
"Captain, now it's my turn to reimburse someone else......"
With only one last finishing touch, Crane suddenly became free, wasting no time, and went out again, heading straight to the Kragg Club, where Dr. Allen was more often seen on Friday afternoons, and Crane wanted to inquire about the tarot-playing kid, Will Unsettin.
After entering the Crag Club in Hilston, Klein said to the red vest waiter who greeted him:
A cup of Marquis tea, a dessert, was delivered to the corner of the hall, where Dr. Allen and Reporter Mike were sitting. ”
Klein had already seen Alan Krees, a well-known surgeon with gold-rimmed glasses, and Michael Joseph, a journalist for the Daily Observer who had worked twice with charming blue eyes, and Talim Dumont, an aristocratic equestrian teacher who appeared second only to Sherlock Moriarty at the club.
"Oh, here comes our great detective, just in time for you. Talim smiled and said.
"Speak ill of me?" Klein joked.
Mike then stood up, reached out and shook his hand and said:
"No, it's me who wants to hire you again. ”
"What's the matter?" Klein bowed to Dr. Allen and sat down at their table.
Mike laughed and said:
"You should be reading the newspapers, right? It's a joy that Capping has been killed by the thief 'Black Emperor' and his sins have been exposed!
"And as a journalist, you have to have enough journalistic acumen, and I plan to take a list from the police department, go to the East Side to interview the rescued girls, and then restore the most vicious, cruel and unforgivable side of Caping to the readers of the newspaper, of course, the victims must be anonymous. ”
He paused, lowered his voice, and said:
"I also have a hidden purpose, or idea, to find out through such an interview whether those girls and their families know more special friends, maybe, that is the Rogue 'Black Emperor'!"
You've got the right person...... Klein almost twitched the corners of his mouth.
He smiled at Mike and said:
"We've worked together on the East End thing, and there's enough familiarity and trust that I have no reason to say no. ”
"Happy working together!" Mike stretched out his hand with a stretched expression, "we will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the remuneration will be the same as last time, a total of 10 pounds." ”
At this time, Dr. Allen, who had been listening, spoke:
"Sherlock, I'd like to hire you too, this evening, or after dinner. ”
I've been bullish lately...... Klein asked amusedly:
"Will it conflict with Mike's commission?"
"Nope. Alan shook his head, "I've been lucky lately, which makes me even more suspicious that the previous bad luck was because of that kid's reversal 'Wheel of Fortune' card and his words, for this, I am very puzzled and troubled, I can say that he is very good, with great kindness, why did he do this to me? I want to visit him at his house to confirm that he is unintentional, however, I am always afraid of similar things, afraid of accidents, so I want to ask you to protect me, tonight, will not conflict with Mike's commission, how about it?"
This is exactly what I want to do! Challenge the impossible, after doing good deeds, my character has become very good...... Is it true that he has become the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck? Klein was pleasantly surprised, and said with a reserved smile:
"There's no problem, we can talk about compensation. ”
............
Silver City.
Derik Berg looked again at the translucent twelve-ringed worm, and at the remnants of Amun's clone.
He originally wanted to ask Mr. "Fool" what this was, but considering that he had already troubled this god-like figure once, he was cheeky enough to give up his planned plan, and planned to wait for the next tarot gathering to appear and ask Mr. "The Hanged Man" and "Miss Justice" about them.
After hiding the worm, it occurred to Daric that the team that followed Elder Lovia the Shepherd to explore the half-destroyed Temple of the Fallen Creator was almost time to return - it was not too far from Silver City, and it was in a direction that had not been set foot before.
He decided to take a look, and there were quite a few of his acquaintances inside.
PS: The second is to ask for a monthly pass~
