Chapter 147 Late Night Visitor

Inside the private detective agency.

"Sir, your commission has been completed." The private detective Henry, who was smoking and drinking, looked at the gentleman in black tuxedo, half-height silk top hat and dark mask, and said with a sigh of relief, "This is really not an easy job. The task, it's not difficult, but it took us too much energy, and frankly, I regret it very much, regretting that the price was too low."

No, no matter what you say, I won't pay an extra penny! Klein emphasized in his heart, pointed to the thick stack of documents on the coffee table and said, "Is this the investigation report?"

"Yes." Henry pressed down on the investigation report, which had at least sixty pages, and sighed, "This is the most troublesome thing I've ever done..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Klein handing over four 1 pound notes, so he turned his attention to identifying the authenticity.

"This is all the final payment." Klein stretched out his hand to hold the thick investigation report.

Henry coughed twice and said:

"You are such an honest and trustworthy gentleman. Hey, I didn't think at first that the investigation report would use so much paper. It was completely out of my budget."

At this moment, Klein picked up the very thick investigation report and stood up.

He bowed slightly, and immediately picked up his cane and walked towards the gate.

Detective Henry's follow-up words were blocked in his throat like this.

Hey, how am I supposed to pay for paper overhead for investigative reports? This is included in the overall commission fee! Klein touched the remaining 5 pounds 8 soli private money, muttered in his heart, and walked quickly to Besik Street.

He first looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then he left here tactfully, taking off his mask when he found an opportunity.

Klein didn't plan to go home now, but planned to find a nearby cafe, quickly sorted out the investigation report, and found out those houses that had tenant changes after he divination "Red Chimney", and then took advantage of the time before dinner. Time check part.

There are quite a lot of cafes in the neighborhood, but almost none of them meet Klein’s requirements—since steam and machinery have become symbols of the times, more and more cafes have lowered their style and become like cheap restaurants , serving tea, coffee, bread, toast, and lamb stew with young peas for the busy laborers, so respectable gentlemen and ladies no longer go to the cafe to talk about things, and no longer use this behavior as a status. A symbol of the city, various clubs began to appear, replacing the social function of the original cafe.

After walking for a while, Klein finally found a cafe with a decent environment.

After sitting in the hidden corner booth, he took a sip of the Southwell coffee that only cost three and a half pennies, and carefully opened the investigation report.

"...in the north, east, west, south, sycamore, wharf and university districts of Tingen, a total of 1,179 houses with dark red chimneys...in the outskirts of Tingen, a total of 546 houses with employers The kind of red chimneys that are described ... this does not include those small towns and villages that belong to Tingen but are relatively far away."

"The following is the address of each house and the corresponding landlord and tenant information. According to the requirements of the employer, the situation in the last three months has been collected in more detail."

...

Klein scanned the pages one by one, and kept taking notes on the paper he was carrying with a pen.

In the end, after he has divined to the "Red Chimney", a total of 25 houses have had tenant changes.

"It's not too much, try to finish the investigation within two days. Well, I have seen the red chimney in the dream divination, and I have seen part of that house. As long as I encounter it again in reality, I will definitely have spiritual familiarity and confirm it. The target, to put it simply, I am the human flesh checker..." Klein nodded silently, and planned the fifteen places he would go to today according to the location of the houses.

As for whether such an action is dangerous, he can get the answer without divination.

Now that there has been a change of tenants, it means that the man behind the scenes who made his fate uncoordinated and always encountered coincidences has left!

I hope to know the appearance of the former tenant from the landlord... However, since the guy hiding behind the scenes can influence my fate without anyone noticing, making coincidences appear naturally, there must be a way to eliminate myself Traces of existence... Hey, I can only pray to Goddess to let that guy make some omissions... Klein exhaled, forcibly cheered up, put on a silk top hat, took his cane and report, got up and walked out of the cafe.

Next, he spent 2 soli to hire a two-wheeled carriage, and ran through the fifteen houses with red chimneys before dinner, but unfortunately, none of them were the ones he saw in his dream.

"If the result of tomorrow's investigation is still the same, things will be troublesome. He is still living in the red chimney house that I divined before... This either means that he has enough self-confidence and is not afraid of my investigation, or even the court. The arrest of the night hunter team in the root market either shows that he didn't know that he was exposed, and that what resisted my divination was a force that didn't completely belong to him... Klein stood at the door of No. 2 Narcissus Street, analyzing one after another possible.

After several minutes, he patted some dust on the black tuxedo, pushed down the half-height silk top hat on his head, took out the copper key, opened the door and went home with a smile on his face.

He was going to prepare lamb stew and honey roast for Benson and Melissa tonight.

…………

At eleven o'clock at night, the three brothers and sisters who said good night to each other entered their bedrooms.

Klein closed the door, stood in front of the desk, and looked out the oriel window in the light of the gas lamp. At this time, the surrounding neighborhood was dark, with only a few street lamps guiding the direction, and the high-altitude stars were embedded in the black curtain. On, bit by bit, not clear.

"I don't know what Backlund, known as the 'Land of Hope' and the 'Capital of Ten Thousand Capitals', will look like..." Klein whispered silently, reaching out to hold the curtain, ready to pull it.

Woo!

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past without warning, and the light of the gas lamp suddenly turned dark green.

Klein subconsciously took a few steps back, and instinctively tapped his left teeth twice. At the same time, he leaned against the head of the bed, trying to get the pistol under the pillow.

In his line of sight, a face suddenly appeared on the wall under the gas lamp and above the desk, a translucent face with no eyes, no nose and only a mouth!

"Don't shoot." The face said with its mouth open and closed.

Can communicate? Klein had the gun in his hand and aimed at the target.

"What do you want to do?" he asked in a low voice.

The face let out a chuckle and said:

"I'm Daly."

Daly? "Psychic" Daly? The "psychic" Daly who was transferred to the Backlund parish? Klein frowned puzzled and said:

"Ms. Daly?"

"I know that this kind of visit is too rough. I should inform you in advance to make you fully prepared. However, it is not convenient for me to meet you directly now. I can only communicate with you through this little guy." The translucent The eyeless and noseless face laughed.

Although the voice is wrong and harsh, it is indeed Ms. Daly's speaking style... The ability of the "psychic" is really cool... Klein secretly sighed, and asked without lowering his gun:

"Ma'am, what do you want to communicate with me?"

"If I were you, I would first seal the bedroom with spirituality, otherwise, your family will think you have mental problems." The translucent weird face joked, "Hehe, you don't need to be so vigilant, I am because The letter sent by Dunn was secretly returned to Tingen, as you know, Nighthawks cannot leave their jurisdiction at will."

"The captain's letter?" Klein didn't approach the desk, but fumbled for "Holy Night Powder" from the inside pocket of the black windbreaker on the coat rack.

"Dunn and I are both Extraordinary people who grew up in Tingen City's night squad, and our relationship with each other has always been very good. Last Thursday, yes, Thursday, he sent me a letter, mentioning you Said that you imitated the motto of the voyeur, summed up your own "Seer's Code" from the act of divination, and claimed that this effectively helped you master the potion, so that you no longer hear voices that should not be heard, see Shouldn't have seen the picture, Dunn said, it's a lot like me."

"Hehe, you really don't want to seal the room? Personally, I don't mind being misunderstood by your brother and sister." The translucent face explained in an unhurried manner.

It turned out to be like this... It was indeed Ms. Daly... Klein heaved a sigh of relief, and stuffed the "Holy Night Powder" back into his inner pocket, then walked to the desk in a few steps, and took out the silver knife for ceremonies from the drawer .

Quickly build a spiritual wall, he turned to look at the strange face protruding from the wall and said:

"Ms. Daly, what else did the captain say in the letter?"

"He just expressed his doubts. He felt that he had grasped something, but he couldn't clearly understand it. He hoped to get my opinion." Dai Li said with a strange face without eyes and nose, "And I saw it this morning. After finishing that letter, I knew that you were definitely not as ignorant as you said yourself, hehe, Mr. Moretti, I think you should have summed up the acting method!"

"Is this why you came to me?" Klein asked neither affirmative nor negative.

Daly already knew the "acting method" clearly...he made a calm judgment in his heart.

Daly let the translucent face show a little smile and said:

"Yes."

"I think we should be honest with each other on this matter, I know you have summed up the method of acting, and you must know that I have mastered the method of acting, hey, the unpleasant thing is that it took me nearly two years to clearly understand Recognize, and you, it has only been a month and a half since you became a Extraordinary."

Hearing Daly's words, Klein considered for a moment, then smiled frankly and said:

"It's because of you as my role model."

He originally wanted to say "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants", but in the end he decided not to give Emperor Roselle a chance to appear in his ears again.

ps: I already knew about the event, and I have communicated with Yuewen, but I have to follow my own pace. In the past few days, the old man at home has a birthday, and I am running back and forth, and the previous few days have been relatively explosive There are many, so I have to adjust it, um, try to add more updates before the end of the event. In short, this is the month when the new book is on the shelf, and there will be no less additions later. As for those tasks, two have been completed. Reward this kind of thing , everyone tipped enough on the first day it was put on the shelves, so there is no need to force it now.
