Chapter 257 Name
Outside the Red Rose Manor, Klein stepped out of the carriage with his cane in hand.
Looking at the red-uniformed soldiers standing guard at the door, he closed his eyes to keep himself calm.
Since the sealed item suspected of "0-08" has been creating coincidences to prevent the woman wearing the sapphire ring from meeting me, then today will be no exception. Don't worry too much about running into her, as long as you can fool Edessa by acting Prince Ke, then there is no problem... Klein's thoughts settled down, and he walked towards the entrance of the manor.
After handing in the gun bag and revolver, he passed the search and was led by the servant, walked through the road paved with gray slate, bypassed the pool sprayed with clear spring water, entered the main house, and came to the second floor, arriving at the place where the layout should be. It is outside the room of the sun room.
During this process, Klein always held his heart, afraid of encountering accidents, and afraid that the situation would develop in the worst and worst direction.
Dong dong dong, after knocking lightly on the door, the male servant came to the door and said in a low voice.
"Detective Moriarty is here."
It was quiet for more than ten seconds before a thick voice could be heard in the room
"His Royal Highness invites him in."
Accompanied by these words, the door creaked open, and the warm feeling radiated outside, a little better than that in the corridor.
Under the watchful eyes of the two tall guards, Klein stepped onto the patterned warm yellow thick soft carpet.
He took a few steps forward, bypassing the natural cabinets on the inside and outside of the partition, and saw Prince Edsaac sitting by the French window, enjoying the rare winter sun in Backlund.
The round face that makes people feel friendly and impressive does not have the slightest smile, naturally creating a serious and solemn atmosphere.
Because of the combination of the elegant fireplace and the metal pipes, the room was warmer than in the late spring. Prince Edsac was not wearing a coat, and his upper body was only wearing a white shirt with flowery cuffs and a light yellow vest. Accessories such as pins and badges are not conspicuous, but they are expensive enough.
Seeing this scene, Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the girl wearing the sapphire ring was not by the prince's side.
So, he hurried forward and saluted.
Edsack held a cup of steaming black tea in his hand, and did not invite Klein to sit down.
He maintained the expression just now, and asked in a deep voice
"Is there any result of the investigation?"
"No, my divination, my psychic, my interview, and my investigation all told me that Talim died of a sudden heart attack." Klein responded with a sad expression and obvious remorse, "No matter what Either way, I am too weak, Your Highness, you should ask for stronger and more powerful helpers."
You'd better invite Gao Ming...he added silently in his heart.
At this moment, Edsack seemed to have seen the face of detective Sherlock Moriarty clearly, and felt that the other party was several years older than before, as if he had not been able to sleep peacefully for a long time.
This is not his illusion, because before going out, Klein used the ability of "Faceless Man" to fine-tune the state of his face, making the skin look dry and dull, making the messy beards that are not in the whole body pop out, and making the bags under the eyes more serious. Bigger and darker and more obvious.
Edesak was silent for a while, put down the white porcelain cup inlaid with gold thread in his hand and said
"I see,
It's really too much...
"I will ask someone to take over the follow-up. You draw up an investigation report and don't miss anything."
OK! Klein clenched his fist in his heart, and quickly took out a stack of folded papers from his pocket
"His Royal Highness, you don't need to wait, I have always had the habit of writing records."
Instructing the attendant to take the investigation report, Prince Edsac flipped through it casually, put it aside and said
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"No more, Your Royal Highness, please allow me to bid farewell. Uh, by the way, I will go to the south for a while, and I want to use the warm sunshine there to melt the pain in my heart." Klein responded with a sigh.
"This is a New Year's habit of many Loenites." Prince Edsac nodded slightly, then turned to look at the old butler Finkel, "Send Detective Moriarty out and send him a carriage."
The Red Rose Manor had to walk 15 to 20 minutes from the nearest town, and only when they got there could they hire a carriage.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The old housekeeper saluted meticulously.
Klein didn't relax his vigilance and hurriedly left.
He followed the old butler all the way to the entrance of the manor, and took back the underarm gun bag and sidearm.
Less than a minute later, he got into the carriage of Red Rose Manor.
Leaning his back against the wall, watching the manor outside the window getting farther and smaller, Klein relaxed, let out a breath slowly, and let the hanging "heart" return to its original position.
He understood that he had left the center of the stage at this time.
Next, he bid farewell to Backlund, headed to the south, and made a complete curtain call... After that, he came back lurking with a different face... He calmly thought about the follow-up plan.
At this moment, his inspiration struck, his spirit tightened, and he saw the door of the carriage open quickly and close again silently!
Before he could respond, a figure was quickly outlined, wearing a heavy black dress and a sapphire ring.
Sapphire Ring! Seeing this scene, Klein, who was about to attack or jump off the car, shrank his pupils and sat back, not daring to act rashly.
That is a terrifying person with a "0" level sealed item or a demigod of this level!
This... I'm really afraid of something... "0-08" or something else, did you create a coincidence? Klein's spirit and body tensed instantly, and he watched the figure completely appear.
The girl's age was completely different from her style of dressing, she looked about ten years old, with a slightly round face, slender eyes, gentle temperament, sweet hidden, she was an extremely outstanding beauty.
She... Klein was taken aback for a moment, then recognized her immediately, and blurted out
"Triss!"
Isn't this the guy who changed from "Instigator" Triss to "Witch" Triss?
How did she, who was wanted, become the prince's woman?
As a member of the Witch Sect, how did she get in touch with Prince Edsaac?
And it also carries a "0" level sealed item or a magical item of the same level!
Taking a closer look, he found that Triss had changed to a certain extent from before. The facial features that were not outstanding alone became softer and more delicate, and the combination was even more touching.
Hearing his stunned words, Triss was not surprised but happy, and said with a sweet smile.
"you know me……
"I knew you knew me!
"A detective with extraordinary abilities must pay special attention to every wanted warrant!"
He, uh, she looks very happy... Klein asked cautiously with doubts
"What do you want to do?"
He clearly remembered that the other party was not a kind person, and Triss created "Clover" by instigation.
In the "Clover" tragedy, Triss caused many innocent civilians to die early in Tingen City.
Triss pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's very simple, you report me to the Nighthawks, Punisher, and Mechanical Heart as soon as possible! Let them come here to catch me!"
Call the police and catch yourself? This, this shemale, uh, is this woman crazy? Klein was a little dazed.
Soon, he tasted the meaning
Triss would rather be locked behind the Chanis Gate than stay in the Red Rose Manor, she is working hard to get out of here!
To put it simply, she thinks this is more dangerous and more desperate than being caught by the Nighthawks and Punishers... Klein tried hard to control his expression, and asked in a deep voice
"What are you afraid of?"
Triss froze for a second, then opened her eyes wide, blurred and out of focus, said
"Someone is manipulating my life, and there are always coincidences that give me horror after the fact.
"And I'm less and less like myself."
Having said that, the corners of her mouth turned up and she said
"Can you imagine? I like those shy and lovely maids, and I always find myself waking up from a man's arms at dawn. Can you imagine the pain?"
I can, so stay away from "assassins" and stay away from "witches"... Klein couldn't help but imagine such a scene, and his heart shuddered for a moment.
Triss continued with a seemingly self-deprecating smile
"I thought that I would be able to get rid of that weird state by working hard to improve and become 'joyful', so I asked someone to help me collect the corresponding extraordinary materials, but it turned out to be even more serious.
"Sometimes, I will forget a lot of things, but they really happened again. I endured the nausea and lured Talim, asking him to help me escape from here. Who knows, I don't know when I will kill you with a curse. He... Do you believe such a thing will happen?
"Hehe, they even changed my name to make me completely abandon my past self, no! Never!
"They thought that I could only defeat the coincidence in a short period of time, and I would soon return to the right track. Huh, this is an illusion I deliberately created for them, so I saw you, Mr. Detective!"
"Happiness"... Witch...Materials... Klein suddenly remembered a past event, that is, in the extraordinary party organized by the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" Essinger Stanton, someone asked to buy the "Witch of Pleasure" The main ingredient of the potion, he who had this formula noticed it on the spot, but he didn't care about it, and gradually forgot about it later.
It turned out that it was Triss' helper! At that time, she was by Prince Edsac's side? Why do I feel inexplicably that she is smiling so beautifully now... "Happiness" is poisonous... Klein took a breath, his thoughts were messed up.
While sorting out his thoughts, he casually asked
"What did they change your name to?"
Triss frowned her pretty brows, and replied with a little foggy eyes
"Trischik."
Trissy Chick... Chick... Chick! Klein raised his head abruptly, feeling numb all over his body again, and his whole body was as stiff as a statue made of marble.
At this moment, there is only one Roselle diary echoing wildly in his mind
"On June 5th, I got an ancient book, which actually mentioned the name of the 'primordial witch'...
"He called, Chick..."
