"No, it's just luck, it's just God protecting me. Crane modestly stepped out of the way and invited Stuart in.

He was telling the truth, and it was indeed a matter of good luck, he already knew where Emlyn White was long before the other party took the mission.

Stuart shuddered as he took off his tweed coat and hat and hung them on the shelves in the foyer:

"It's damn weather, it's getting colder, maybe I'll have to try those cotton-stuffed coats. ”

"You go to the north of Jianhai County and go to Winter County for a day, and you will understand what a real low temperature is, a real winter. Klein chuckled.

Immediately, he generously asked:

"A hot cup of coffee?"

"That's exactly what I expected. Stuart followed to the first-floor living room, "I've been to the north side of the Sea County, and I know the low temperatures and heavy snow there, it was a wonderful vacation, but the cold of Beckland is not bad, it is like magic, it penetrates my clothes, seeps into my bones, oh, the fireplace that makes people want to praise!"

Stuart stood in front of the charcoal-burning fireplace for a full twenty seconds before sitting on the couch, looking at Klein, who was busy brewing instant coffee, and said:

"I'm going to go south for the New Year's holiday, to fish in Desey Bay, what about you, what are your vacation plans? ”

"Perhaps, it's also going to Desey Bay......," Klein said hesitantly, looking into Stuart's face in a moment's dazed expression.

It's a matter of agreement.

An agreement with his brother Benson and sister Melissa.

"Haha, I'll show you my sea fishing skills when the time comes. "We still don't have enough money, otherwise we'd really like to travel to Vrsack, to Intis, or even to the Southern Continent." ”

Klein finished his coffee and handed the white-glazed porcelain cup to the other party, and he took two steps back and sat down opposite.

Stuart took the cup and took two deep breaths of fragrant warm gas.

After a few seconds, he put the cup down and said very formally:

"As agreed, I will share the reward I received this time with you.

"Mr. and Mrs. White gave a total of £50, and you have clearly contributed more than me.

"Sherlock, how about you get 30 pounds? I'll have to pay my informants some hard work. ”

It's only 50 pounds? A vampire is worth 50 pounds?

However, he also knew that the Wrights did not want to increase the amount of the bounty, but they were worried that giving too much money would frighten the detectives and make them have unnecessary associations, which would attract the attention of the police or some official organizations.

For the average private investigator, the 50-pound assignment was tempting enough, and it only took Klein £7 to investigate all the red chimney houses in the whole city of Tingen and the suburban towns.

"In addition, Mr. and Mrs. White gave you an extra pound to say that it was your fare for the past few days. Slightly puzzled, Stuart pulled out six five-pound bills, and one one-pound one.

Klein reached out and took it, casually checking the authenticity without explaining the fare.

Stuart didn't ask much, but smiled:

"Aside from Mr. Stanton, you are the best detective I have ever met, did you get into the industry halfway, or did you study with any great detective before?"

Which great detective have you studied with? That's a lot, what Sherlock Holmes, what Hercule Poirot, what a 10,000-year-old schoolboy, what kind of guy who swaggered in the name of grandpa...... Klein complained silently.

He thought for a moment and said:

"I'm from Makai and I did a lot of work in the early days before I became a detective. ”

"So you've got a lot of knowledge!" Stuart snapped.

Hey, I'm a little embarrassed by your compliments...... Klein smiled and didn't respond.

Stuart took a sip of coffee and said:

"Sherlock, if I encounter a difficult case that I can't solve in the future, I hope to ask you for help. ”

I've spread my contacts in the detective world...... Klein cautiously replied:

"When the time comes, if I have time. ”

After a few more small talks, Stuart playfully offered to take his leave, and Crane carried him all the way to the foyer.

Putting on his coat and hat, Stuart was about to pull the door out, when he suddenly turned around and said sincerely:

"Sherlock, you're too simple.

"Your talent deserves better coffee. ”

Klein was stunned for a moment, then a little embarrassed.

He laughed dryly and said:

"I can't tell if the coffee is good or bad, it's all the same for me. ”

............

After sending Stuart away, Klein went out with him, went to the butcher shop to buy a few beef bones and some beef, and went to the vegetable store to buy white radishes and other ingredients, and matched the corresponding seasonings.

He was going to prepare beef bone and turnip soup for dinner to accompany the rest of the rice, and at noon, he found a random restaurant on the street and ate a lamb chop.

In the leisurely afternoon, Crane continued to study the Book of Secrets, and the more he read, the more he felt that he knew too little about the occult.

Fortunately, he has a solid foundation, and many things can be quickly mastered as soon as they are touched and pondered.

In the evening, he smelled the tantalizing aroma of beef bone and radish soup, and his Adam's apple squirmed up and down twice.

He heard the doorbell again, like a trumpet for dinner.

Swallowing his saliva, Crane walked to the back of the door and reached for the handle.

Naturally, he had in his mind the appearance of a visitor, who was the handsome but not masculine red-eyed vampire Emlyn White.

You don't need to rush...... He's a trustworthy guy...... Crane opened the door and smiled:

"Good evening, Mr. White. ”

Emlyn lifted her chin, her impatience palpable.

He was about to speak, when Crane glanced at the brown clergyman's robes on his body, smiled "I understand" and said:

"You just came from Harvest Chapel?"

Who said it could last night?

Emlin suddenly couldn't maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, gritted his teeth and said:

"That old man, that old man......

"Damn, how do you get rid of that damn hint?"

Without waiting for Klein to answer, he patted the clothes on his chest and grimaced:

"Take me to the patient.

"A great dinner was waiting for me. ”

As he spoke, he sniffed imperceptibly, as if he had smelled something.

Klein didn't say anything more, took his coat and hat and said:

"Okay, I'll take you over now. ”

Closing the door and taking a few steps, he asked cautiously:

"Do you have a medical license?"

Otherwise, how could he convince lawyer Jürgen to agree to Mrs. Doris's medication?

Emlin looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and said:

"I don't need that kind of credential to show what I'm capable of. ”

Before Klein frowned, he added nonchalantly:

"It's so easy, I just coping with it and getting it. ”

...... This tone sounds like I'm quite proud of my medical license...... Klein smiled and didn't speak.

Emlyn looked at the wet ground in front of him and said casually:

"Do you know what I like most about Beckland?"

"What?" Klein chimed in, without curiosity.

Emlyn laughed and said:

"The long overcast skies and the fog that obscures the sun make it easy for me to go out during the day.

"It's fantastic, except that the air isn't so good. ”

In other words, vampires can really be hurt by the sun? Fortunately, I thought about this yesterday and deliberately didn't bring a sun brooch, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to communicate with Emlyn...... Klein seemed to understand something.

As they spoke, they had arrived outside the Hurgen house, and Crane stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

After a while, the door opened, and Mrs. Doris, who was also dressed thickly at home, spoke in surprise:

"Mr. Detective, are you here?"

Brody the black cat crouched silently next to him, looking at Emlyn warily, as if he didn't think something was right with this guy.

Crane pointed to the vampire beside him and said:

"I have a new physician who specializes in treating lung diseases, so I asked him to come and see you, this one, Dr. Emlyn White. ”

"Really, do you remember this? What a good boy!" said Doris, happily inviting the two in.

Child...... The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly, and finally he didn't say anything.

On the way into the living room, Emlyn said to him in a low voice:

"This patient's problem is irreversible, she is very old and quite frail.

"Even if I give her the potion, she will survive this winter at most, and she will die in three to five years.

"Unless there's the legendary elixir of immortality, or something like that, can we just do that, or turn her into a Bloodline?, but at her age, she can't bear the changes that extraordinary traits can take on her body, and my parents and I don't have any extra traits anymore. ”

Irreversible...... Crane was stunned and sighed silently.

He said to Emlyn:

"Let's make her a potion first, and then we'll talk about it after this winter. ”

"Okay, I've got a ready-made potion with me, which is just right for this situation. Emlyn sat down unceremoniously on the couch.

At this time, Attorney Huergen took off his apron and came out of the kitchen to ask Klein what he meant.

"Dr. White, what do you think of my grandmother's lung disease?" asked Jürgen very seriously.

Emlin was obviously very good at this situation, and first talked about the knowledge of lung diseases, and then stunned Jürgen and said:

"What she needs most is warm and healthy air, and that's my most sincere advice. ”

"Also, I have a special medicine that I can try for free. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his medical practitioner's certificate and a metal vial.

"Will there be any side effects?" asked Jürgen cautiously.

"No, the only problem is that it doesn't cure the problem, it's only a temporary cure. Emlin replied in a very professional manner, "If it weren't for Detective Moriarty, I wouldn't have let people try it out." ”

"Maybe you can give it a try?" ...... Mrs. Doris interjected.

Jürgen glanced at Klein, and the other party, who had done the divination beforehand, nodded in the affirmative.

"Good. Jürgen finally made a decision.

He watched warily as Mrs. Doris drank the potion, carefully observing her reaction.

Mrs. Doris didn't change much at first, but gradually she felt that her breathing was becoming lighter.

She stood up, bent down to take the cat in her arms, and said happily:

"I feel so much better!"

Seeing this scene, the corners of Yuergen's mouth rose slightly on his always serious and unsmiling face.

What Klein had in mind was:

Three to five years.

He smiled and sighed secretly:

It's a kind of magic show, and the fake results created by extraordinary abilities make the audience happy......

PS: I just rushed home, and there were three shifts in two days, and I updated it in advance in the early morning.
