Chapter 34

The figure in the mirror was clear, but the woman in the black court dress just now was no longer seen. She seemed to have never appeared before.

Klein quietly activated his Spirit Vision, but found nothing.

I wouldn't hire a female ghost as a bodyguard, would I? This is even weirder than a female ghost... At least spirit vision can see ghosts... Klein thoughtfully touched the Azik copper whistle in his pocket, only to feel that it was still cool and cold, without any additional changes.

Not affected by the copper whistle... It seems that he is not a necromancer... However, I can't be sure, when the copper whistle was buried with me, but the dead around the circle did not show any abnormalities... Because those buried in the cemetery, All have been requiemed by priests and bishops? When does it work and when does it not work... When the ambassador's business is over, if I am still alive, I will go to the cemetery to do experiments, try to figure out the scope and limitations, it can't always be like carrying 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 read it in the living room or bedroom when he heard the doorbell ring.

Amidst the jingling sounds, Klein suddenly tensed up, put on a coat made of various materials with extreme vigilance, and walked towards the door.

He clearly remembered that there would be danger coming in the last few days!

Standing behind the door and waiting for a while, Klein's mind naturally recalled the scene outside.

The crimson moon loomed in the sky, and the elegant gas street lamps on both sides of the street illuminated the wet road. A boy in an old coat stood there, with deep red eyes and a little confusion.

Ian Wright? How did he appear? Isn't this the picture I saw in my dream divination? Is this a harbinger of danger? Klein opened the door and took two steps back vigilantly.

"Detective Moriarty." Ian took off his brown bowler hat and bowed his body. "I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry to involve you in such a dangerous incident."

Klein frowned slightly and said:

"The best thing you can do is go to the police.

"

Ian looked around, buried his head slightly and said:

"I just came out of SI9."

ah? Is this the name of that special department of the military? Klein got out of the way, pointed to the living room and said:

"Maybe we can talk."

I at least need to know why I fell into such a passive situation... He sighed in his heart.

Ian was not polite, followed Klein into the living room, and sat in the same position as last time.

He was about to speak when Klein suddenly added:

"If what you think will put me in a bigger crisis, then don't say it."

"No, it's almost over." Ian had a calmness that didn't match his age.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and asked doubtfully:

"So, what happened?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a figure appearing on the oriel window opposite the living room: a black palace dress, long hair in a light golden bun, blue eyes, delicate features, and a pale face, just like in the mirror before The woman who greeted Klein.

The woman seemed to have found an imaginary high-back chair and sat down, with her left palm resting on her right elbow, her right hand resting her cheek, and she pretended to be listening with no expression on her face.

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

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

"Actually, Detective Zreal is a spy of the Feysac Empire. He adopted several street children and taught them the skills of gathering intelligence, including me."

It turned out to be like this... I was involved in a major spy case... Klein was suddenly stunned.

Ian looked at the coffee table and continued:

"We have the advantage of age, we are often not watched by others, and we can collect a lot of useful information. Two weeks ago, I accidentally discovered the clues of the Hermoschuin manuscript."

"Hermoschuin?" Klein felt that this surname sounded familiar.

Ian raised his head, looked at him, and explained:

"Tulane von Hermoschuin, the greatest scientist after Emperor Roselle, mathematician, machinist, and the father of the second-generation difference engine."

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

This is not only a great scientist, but also a crazy scientist. He believes that human beings have inherent flaws and can only obtain the ultimate truth with the help of machines. He loves eating sugar and seems to use it as his own energy source. He mysteriously disappeared during the third-generation difference engine, and he is an important figure that countries are trying to find.

"His manuscript? The manuscript involving the third-generation difference engine?" Klein asked tentatively.

The difference engine is a mechanical device used for calculations, which can effectively improve the efficiency of scientific research and various projects. In Klein's view, this is an alternative computer in the steam age. Of course, it only has calculation capabilities 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 recalled what happened again:

"I reported this matter to Detective Zuriel. He was very happy and asked me to follow that clue to investigate, and he immediately reported it to his superior."

"It took me some time to finally determine the whereabouts of the manuscript, but I was afraid of the danger, so I didn't go directly to steal it, and decided to return to Detective Zuriel. After that, it was what I told you, Detective Zuriel's home was destroyed. People sneaked in, many small institutions have not been restored, he has not responded to my contact request, and the people of the Zimeng Party are even trying to catch me..."

"With your help, I confirmed Detective Zreal's death and took a false tooth from his corpse, um, after we parted."

"Detective Zreal told me that there is an emergency way to contact his boss engraved on the inside of that denture, which he doesn't even know. He will only remove it if an accident occurs."

Klein nodded lightly and said:

"So you sent a telegram?"

Ian flashed in a rare way and said in astonishment:

"Someone from MI9 told you?"

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

"Yes." Ian nodded in frustration, "I contacted Detective Zuriel's superior in Backlund via telegram, and agreed on the time, place and method of meeting in encrypted text, but soon, I was The Zmangers have found, no, precisely the Intis agents, that's what I was told by MI9."

"Fortunately, the people from MI9 arrived in time, and the two sides fell into a scuffle. I took the opportunity to escape."

"However, when I met with Detective Zreal's boss this afternoon, I was ambushed again by the Intis intelligence personnel and was unfortunately caught by them. I, I was very afraid of death, so I 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 find me."

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

When it was discovered that Zreal's body still had something that seemed to be very important, and it was taken away by Ian, he just thought that the Beyonder on the opposite side was not of high level and strength, and the effect of "psychic" was not good. A lot of useful information can be obtained, so mistakes and omissions occur.

However, after confirming that the ambassador had a middle-sequence user of the "Seer" pathway, this matter became very strange. Under the powerful "psychic", it was impossible for the false tooth to not be discovered.

And the corpse was thrown in such a remote and hard-to-find place, and it didn't seem like a pre-set trap.

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

Klein nodded and said:

"Have you ever thought that there are traitors around Zreal's boss, who have defected to the Intis intelligence agency?"

"That's why Zreal was exposed and died after getting the clues of the manuscript, and it's also why you were ambushed."

It is precisely because Ambassador Intis has information about the situation of Zreal's boss that he doesn't care much about the emergency contact information engraved on the inside of the denture!

Zreal's report to his boss directly caused his accident!

Ian was stunned for a while, and clenched his fist in frustration for a long time, trying to remain calm and said:

"I didn't think of that, you are such an excellent detective..."

He quietly exhaled, and then described:

"I also told MI9 about the whereabouts of the manuscript, and everything else. They mentioned what happened to you. Heh, they didn't suspect that I was lying, and they didn't send anyone to guard me. They all went to snatch the manuscript. , but under that kind of pressure, no one can lie."

At this point, Ian stood up and bowed deeply:

"Please allow me to apologize again."

"I'm sorry for getting you involved in this kind of thing. In fact, you don't need to hide anything for me."

Klein, who understood the reasons before and after, smiled and said:

"No, in this matter, it is mainly because I made a mistake that I fell into the current situation."

He listened just now, and based on Ian's description and his introspection over the past few days, he reviewed the whole thing and confirmed that he had made two mistakes:

"I found out that Ian's matter is a little bit deep, but he still accepted the commission. This is no problem. At that time, he just felt that gangsters would be involved. At most, there would be one or two Extraordinary people who dare not expose in the shadows, and the divination lacked enough information. As a result, It's a failure... This is within the scope of what I can solve. If it happens normally, there won't be any trouble, and maybe I can take the opportunity to get in touch with the Extraordinary in Backlund."

"After finding Zreal's body and confirming that the water was deep, considering his sensitive identity, he immediately withdrew decisively and let Ian handle the follow-up by himself. This is not a problem, and it was a very prudent choice."

"One of the mistakes I made was that when Meursault came to the door, he didn't admit it decisively and revealed the things related to Ian, but at that time, he only thought that the opposite party was a gangster, and they were the extraordinary people behind the gangster. For a person like Ambassador Tice, what I didn't expect was that Meursault would be so reckless. After the entrusted task failed, he didn't make threats or intimidation, and didn't go through other procedures. Chances are, my situation has worsened."

"So, it's not a mistake that's too subjective or too serious."

"The mistake that really caused me to be so passive was a small mistake at the very beginning. When renting a house and accepting commissions in the name of Sherlock Moriarty, I didn't make any disguise!"

"This has led to the fact that after the Extraordinary identity was exposed to the ambassador, they did not dare to escape. Even if they showed panic and panic, and made MI9 and the police department think that my escape was a matter of course, they did not dare to escape. They were afraid that the ambassador would not be able to find revenge. According to my experience as a Nighthawk, most of the "enforcement officers" are hostile to uncontrolled Beyonders, and they will definitely not ignore me because of my low sequence, and will definitely launch an investigation .”

"At that time, my appearance will be clear and clear evidence, and I will be hunted down by the high-sequence powerhouses of the Church of the Goddess because of my involvement in level 0 sealed items and my resurrection from death."

"This kind of thing cannot be entrusted to the other party's sudden forgetting or not taking it to heart. We must plan for the worst in advance. If we wait until the ambassador takes some action before dealing with it, it will definitely be too late. Whether it is an assassination or finding Bodyguards and buying items all need enough time."

"Only when the ambassador dies and his assistant dies, or if I turn my attention to investigating the cause of the ambassador's death, I can solve this hidden danger. His assistant has no official status and cannot directly contact the official. For a small Sequence 9 , at most Sequence 8, and the guy who is missing, it is definitely impossible to go to the trouble of reporting."

"Of course, his death is the best result, then there will be no hidden dangers."

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

"Hey, everything stemmed from a small negligence at the beginning. I just thought that when I arrived in a metropolis with more than five million people, few people knew my metropolis, and I avoided the Nighthawks. There was no need to Pretend, this will make it easier for people to see the problem, and as a result, for such a small mistake, you have to pay more than 10,000 gold pounds in the end, and it may not be able to solve it..."

"It's like a clown, making a mistake, causing a chain reaction, then struggling, trying to balance, to please the audience..."

"This is the loss of inexperience. This is the first time I have been a 'fugitive' in my two lifetimes."

"When this matter is completely resolved, it will not be so dangerous to reveal the identity of the Extraordinary. They will only think that I got the potion in the process of finding a bodyguard recently, rather than suspecting my origin. Of course, later Get used to wearing glasses, grow a beard, let people around you gradually get used to my new image, and when asked about me in the future, I can only think of this image.”

After trying to understand the whole thing, Klein laughed more and more obviously, making Ian feel weird.

"I should go, I have to disappear for a while, otherwise I may be thrown into prison." Ian put on his hat, said goodbye and left.

Klein didn't stop him, watching him disappear into the crimson moonlight, while the lady on the oriel window had already disappeared at some point.
