Chapter 172 A Story About Love

Watching the lightnings illuminate the dark sky, Derrick didn't directly knock on the doors of a few acquaintances, but walked along the widest avenue all the way to the training ground on the edge of the City of Silver.

After each exploration team comes back, they will stay here for a period of time, which is convenient for them to communicate and report the things and things they encountered in the dark depths, and it is also equivalent to isolation in disguise, to prevent certain strange things from attaching to which member, and wait for time When it reaches a certain level, it explodes violently.

This is the experience that the City of Silver has explored and summed up over the past two thousand years. It is not complicated, but it is quite effective.

As soon as he entered the training ground, Derrick Berg, who had the "Hurricane Axe" stuck in his waist, suddenly lit up. He saw Elder Lovia, who seemed to be only in his thirties, and also saw two people of the same age. Duan's acquaintances.

——The City of Silver is only so big, and limited by the environment, the population has been unable to increase. There are many people in a certain age group, and there are not many people. Derrick dare not say that he knows all of them, but he has seen big people Some of them, and some of them are classmates in general education classes for several years plus training ground companions.

In this exploration team, the person Derrick is most familiar with is Dak Riggins, who used to be his teammate in the patrol team.

This young man named Dak is of medium height, with a slightly fat body. He is good at strength, optimistic and cheerful. He often wears a friendly smile on his face. He is currently a Sequence 8 "Gladiator" of the "Giant" pathway.

At this moment, the two sides were separated by a translucent but hard-as-steel wall, unable to make effective contact. They had to wait for all members of the exploration team to confirm that there was no problem before the two sides could meet directly.

Derrick, who had become silent and withdrawn since the death of his parents, waved his hand and greeted Dak.

The "Gladiator" noticed something and looked sideways.

"Dark, how's it going? Didn't you encounter any danger?" Derrick shouted.

The material used for that section of the black wall came not far from the City of Silver, it was called "Dark Amber", it was as hard as steel but also had a certain degree of transparency and good sound conductivity, Derrick's words passed through without any hindrance.

When Derrick thought about it, Dak would definitely show a bright smile, wave his arms habitually and say, "Seeing that I didn't suffer any injuries, you should know that we haven't encountered too dangerous things, and they are all minor problems!"

Hearing his voice, Dak took a few steps, approached the wall, and replied with a smile:

"No, it's been going well."

Looking at his faultless smile, Derrick suddenly felt chills all over his body, as if he was sleeping on the top of an abandoned tower or in a ruined city at night,

It was pitch black all around, and an undercurrent was accumulating.

…………

In the Kragg Club, Klein and Dr. Allen reached an agreement on the remuneration:

2 pounds!

It has to be said that the doctor's money is easy to earn... Before I was replaced, such a commission would cost 10 soli at most... Klein, who had the intention to take on this task, sighed in his heart.

He remembered that when he was in the Nighthawks team, he heard "Corpse Collector" Frye mention that well-known doctors earn a lot of money.

At that time, the poet Leonard Mitchell, who was not like a poet, responded that as far as he knew, if he bought a house in the bustling area of ​​Backlund as a shop, the fastest way to pay back the cost was to transform it into a clinic.

The two parties agreed to visit Will Auceptin's house after dinner, and it was just before three o'clock in the afternoon, so Talim, the equestrian teacher, greeted the three of them, made a table, and played with upgrades. Emperor Roselle invented kind of.

What I envisioned was playing tennis, practicing shooting, flipping through books in the library, what a healthy life... But why did it become like this... When playing cards, Klein thought to himself.

Frankly speaking, with his current "magic" attainments, Dr. Allen, Reporter Mike and Talim could lose all the money they had on them.

But I'm an honest person, and I believe in my skills and luck more... When the waiter in the red vest was shuffling the cards, Klein picked up the butter shortbread and took a bite with enjoyment.

He sincerely praised:

This is life!

In the process of playing cards, Klein noticed one thing, that is, the equestrian teacher Talim was no longer in a daze and full of troubles like before.

The matter of his friend falling in love with someone he shouldn't have been resolved? Klein took a sip of the Marquis black tea and thought curiously.

As a detective, he knew that this matter should not be asked in front of others, so he restrained himself and concentrated on playing cards.

At five o'clock, because Mike Joseph had to report back to the agency, the four-person game was suspended, and Klein won 5 soli.

I'm really lucky recently... Klein was relieved and praised, and saw Dr. Allen leave the table and go to the bathroom, so he controlled his voice and said with a deep smile:

"Talim, is the matter of your friend settled?"

Talim was throwing the cards in his hand into the middle of the table, he was startled when he heard this, sighed and laughed:

"That's right."

He added eagerly:

"Actually, it's not a serious matter, but I thought too much at the time.

"To put it simply, a young gentleman with a prominent status fell in love with a commoner woman. You know, a man of similar status must marry a noble lady. Heh, for him, even the daughter of a rich man is not acceptable."

That's it... Thanks to my brain, I have filled up a lot of bloody and bizarre stories, such as falling in love with men, falling in love with monsters, falling in love with objects that are not allowed by ethical relations... Klein was disappointed for a while, and said with a smile:

"As far as I know, upper-class gentlemen don't mind having a mistress outside."

"No, Sherlock, you don't understand, love, do you understand? Love! That young gentleman only wants to marry that commoner woman." Talim sighed.

Yes, I don't understand, I'm just a single dog... Klein opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Talim sighed to himself:

"For the sake of that young gentleman's future, I once thought about asking you to find someone with some magical abilities, secretly, hehe, in short, I am a law-abiding person, and I only think about it in my head."

"How did things get resolved later?" Klein asked with great interest.

Talim took a sip of plateau coffee:

"The solution was simpler than I thought, I went straight to the lady and told her the plight, and she sensibly expressed her willingness to leave the gentleman and asked me for help.

"I have to say, she is really a considerate, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl. If I don't consider my status, maybe I would kneel in front of her and kiss the back of her hand."

"Okay, it looks like I can't help you anymore." Klein picked up the white-glazed porcelain inlaid cup with gold thread for black tea.

As a visitor from Earth, he is not interested in beating mandarin ducks and destroying other people's love entrustment.

But listening to gossip is another matter.

…………

After having dinner at the Kragg Club and tasting the limited supply of Sonya lobster, Klein and Dr. Alan took the latter's carriage to Will Auceptin's at No. 66 Dalton Street, North District. Family.

This is the address Dr. Alan memorized a long time ago. He did not go back to the hospital to check the corresponding medical records. According to Klein's guess, most of the information about Will Auceptin has been taken away by the Nighthawks.

As a former Nighthawk, I am very aware of their work process... Klein sighed with a wry smile.

Ringing the doorbell, the two waited for a while before seeing the door opened, and the maid in black and white asked suspiciously:

"Gentlemen, who are you looking for?"

Seeing that Alan still had his usual indifferent appearance, Klein took the initiative to say:

"We asked Will Auceptin, this is his attending physician, to make a follow-up visit to confirm his health condition."

"I, I don't know him. I've only been here for a few days...I'm going to find my master, please wait a moment." The maid replied blankly.

While the two were waiting, Allen suddenly said:

"I almost believed the reason you gave just now."

"This is the basic quality of being a detective." Klein chuckled.

At this time, an elderly gentleman in his fifties came to the door and said in a deep voice:

"Will Auceptin's family has moved out, in..."

He gave a date.

Allen frowned after a short calculation:

"Just two days after the operation, how could you be so tired and move?"

He acted like he was on a door-to-door call.

Klein asked slightly puzzled:

"Sir, how do you know so well?"

Normally, subsequent tenants will definitely move in after a while.

The old gentleman replied angrily: "Someone has already asked about it before, and I went to find the landlord."

Nighthawks... Klein asked without any hope:

"Do you know where Will Auceptin's family moved?"

"No." The old man only spit out one word.

"Then did they leave anything here?" Klein pondered for a while before continuing to ask.

"There are some." The old gentleman took a breath and said, "But it was all given to the previous group!"

It's a helpless thing to meet colleagues... They can always think of things in advance... Klein couldn't help but want to sigh.

Seeing that there was no follow-up clue, Klein and Allen said goodbye politely and left No. 66 Dalton Street.

"It seems that your doubts will take a long time to be resolved." Klein turned his head to Dr. Allen and said.

Allen was silent for a few seconds, then exhaled slowly:

"After what happened just now, I'm not so troubled anymore. I'm a doctor. It's enough to do my own thing well. I should return to my health instead of questioning the situation. What other people think and why they are not kind is not what I should pay attention to. In the future, try to maintain only the relationship between the doctor and the patient.”

"It would be best if you could think of it that way." Klein echoed from the bottom of his heart, and then asked casually, "What happened to Will Auceptin's left leg at the time?"

"His left calf had a strange tumor around it, which happened to form a ring, which severely compressed the blood vessel." Dr. Allen recalled, "But the child didn't have any painful expression, but seemed a little frightened. We initially Conservative treatment was attempted, but the condition deteriorated rapidly."
