Chapter 80 Old Acquaintances

Latest website: January 1, 1351, New Year.

At an intersection in the Backlund Bridge area, old Kohler, wearing a thick jacket, was holding a bag of bread and walking quickly towards the residential area on the left.

And there were many people near him who were rushing home with food in their hands like him. They had just used "food stamps" to receive them from various "charity relief points".

Since being rescued by Miss Sharon, who was too beautiful to be true, before New Year's last year, old Kohler was arranged to go to Pulitzer Harbor to help Miss Sharon's brother, Mr. Maric, take care of his little daughter Wenna. Although Mr. Maric is a gangster and looks scary, Old Kohler has been with him for a long time and knows that this gentleman is actually a very kind and easy-to-talk person, and Miss Wenna is an obedient and sensible person. child.

He will become a friend of Detective Sherlock Moriarty, and not just because he is Miss Sharon's brother.

Originally, they lived well in Pulitzer Harbor this year, but the outbreak of the war plunged the port city into chaos. Even Miss Wenna's school was suspended, so Mr. Maric had to move back to Baker. Rand.

And old Kohler also followed them back to this city where the "wind" came up last year and almost blew down his "straw".

Looking back on every bit of this year, the old Kohler, who was obviously much stronger and rosy than a year ago, sniffed and smelled the smell of bread in his arms.

"It smells so good! The quality of the bread distributed by the 'Brain Charity Foundation' is really good. Miss Wenna must like it very much." After sighing with emotion, Old Kohler quickened his pace and walked into an alleyway and entered the innermost one. inside a house.

That was the house rented by Mr. Maric, and the weekly rent was as high as 14 soles. Old Kohler had never lived in such a good house in his decades of life. As soon as he walked to the door, Kohler was stunned because there were voices in the house, and Mr. Maric was usually still working at this time.

He subconsciously thought that a thief had broken in. Thinking that Miss Wenna might be in danger, he quickly opened the door and rushed in.

But then he saw a familiar figure with a big beard. Next to the bearded gentleman, stood a delicate and beautiful lady who looked like a doll.

"Detective Moriarty, Miss Sharon, are you here?" Old Cole shouted in surprise.

At this time, he discovered that Mr. Maric, who always looked extremely pale, had also returned home early.

"Old Kohler, long time no see." The bearded Sherlock, also known as Klein, responded with a smile.

He had indeed not seen each other for a long time. Since the old Kohler followed Maric, Klein also visited him once before going to sea to confirm to him that Sharon and Maric were really his friends.

Speaking of which, Klein initially disagreed with Maric asking Kohler to take care of the little girl Wenna. After all, Maric was involved in the Rose School, and it was too dangerous for Kohler, an ordinary person, to follow him and could die at any time.

But he soon figured it out again, just as old Kohler heard the words from an alcoholic:

"People like us are like straw in the field. When the wind blows, we will fall down. Even if there is no wind, we may fall down..." Poor people like Kohler who have no risk resistance, Where is it not dangerous? What's more, he already owed Miss Sharon's life-saving grace, so he should work for her.

As for why Klein returned to Backlund? Naturally, because today is the New Year, he is not willing to suffer alone in the place abandoned by God. If there are no conditions, forget it, but since Abner is very spiritual and can maintain his projection for a long time, what can he be polite to his fellow villagers?

When he first developed the "Fool" function, he didn't intend to be polite to himself!

"Old Kohler, put down the bread, Sherlock and Sharon brought a very sumptuous dinner." Maric said, with a rare smile on his face.

These dishes come from Klein's "Meige Manor" and are cooked by professional chefs. They are naturally much better than the bread at the soup kitchen.

In this regard, the old Kohler resisted at first, but he was soon moved by the kindness of several people and enjoyed the food that he had never dared to think about before.

Come to the banquet you want.

Although due to the advent of the war, the dishes that Klein brought were only those produced by "Meige Manor", but for Kohler, they were already as delicious as in a dream.

Everyone present was "his own" and no one paid attention to etiquette, so everyone ate their portion "quietly". It wasn't until Old Kohler licked the grease off the surface of the plate that Klein wiped his mouth and took it out. Five "movie tickets" and said with a smile:

"Tonight there will be a premiere of "Rose in the Field" by Blaine Films at Ossian Square in the Cherwood District. I got a ticket. Let's go and enjoy this new movie together as a New Year's gift to myself." In front of the house at Minsk Street 17.

Mrs. Starling Summer, who simply dressed up and tried her best to look decent, took her husband's arm and walked towards the Place de l'Osse with her children.

Their family is a believer in the "Night Goddess" and was lucky enough to get tickets for the new movie on the previous "Winter Gift Day".

For the Summer family, who had not held banquets or dances for several months, and had not gone to various clubs or salons to attend parties, and all their savings had been used to hoard food, this was already a rare way of "entertainment".

"Why not hold the premiere in a theater? Even if there are seats in the open square, it is very cold..." Mrs. Starling couldn't help but complain to her husband.

"I don't know...but I heard that the venue was personally designated by Viscount Bertin." Mr. Summer shook his head.

Since Coim's company was taken over by the military due to the wartime act, this former manager has been unemployed, but fortunately he is still a good "accountant" and was recently hired by "Brain Film and Television Company", which is short of talents. Finally, he is There is another source of income.

As the couple talked, their children also whispered, imagining what kind of plot would be shown in the movie.

They are twins, one boy and one girl, both very cute. The Place d'Orsis is not too far from Pinster Street, and they arrived at their destination after walking for nearly half an hour.

However, because there were so many people, the police set up a cordon and ordered people to line up to enter to avoid stampedes.

Perhaps because of the large number of people, the Starlings only felt that the closer they got to the square, the warmer it became, as if the cold winter wind was blocked by the crowd and did not blow in here.

At this moment, Mrs. Starling suddenly saw a familiar figure and said in surprise: "Detective Sherlock, are you coming to watch this movie too?"

Her voice was very penetrating. She was at least ten meters away from her. Melissa, who was looking for a seat with her brother Benson, suddenly turned her head: "Detective Sherlock?!"
