Chapter 9 Sherlock Moriarty in the Investigation Report

Leonard?

For a moment, Klein thought he was wrong.

But the blur caused by the light was not serious, and he, who was familiar with the other party, quickly affirmed his previous judgment.

In just one breath, Leonard disappeared, the light dispersed, and the river valley returned to the tranquility of midwinter, and the picture Klein saw in his dream shattered.

He opened his eyes, and placed the badge from Lanerus on the surface of the long bronze table.

"The real Leonard, or the 'Faceless Man' disguised as Leonard?" Klein thought for a while before tossing a gold coin.

Through this medium, his spirituality told him that it was Leonard Mitchell, a teammate of Tingen City's night squad!

"Is he the 'investigator' sent by the Church of the Goddess for that party, or is he an avenger behind the back of the Nighthawks, taking risks to find opportunities?" Klein wondered to himself, unable to make an accurate judgment.

And in the absence of pre-information at all, his divination cannot give enlightenment.

After a few seconds of silence, Klein laughed at himself and drew a crimson moon on his chest:

"Good luck to him, and may the Goddess bless him."

Klein no longer struggled with this issue, and decided to decide whether to participate in the future after he was going to learn more about the details of the party, and whether to remind Leonard Mitchell anonymously.

…………

Backlund, in a secret room in the underground area of ​​the Church of Steam.

Ikanser took off his hat, stroked his fluffy but not soft hair, and sat in the first position on the left.

Immediately, he took out the ancient silver mirror of Arrods from the special pocket inside his clothes, and placed it in front of him.

On his right side, opposite him, and obliquely, there are deacons and captains of the "Mechanical Heart". They were all summoned by the pre-God Council member, Archbishop Horamick Haydn of Backlund.

At this time, the archbishop wearing a white priest robe looks like an ordinary old man, sitting peacefully at the top.

Seeing that all the staff had arrived, he looked around and said gently:

"Starting from Ikanser,

In order to talk about the investigation of the past few days. "

Ikanser Bernard brushed his hair, flipped through the thick documents, and reported concisely:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, we are responsible for Sherlock Moriarty. After a detailed investigation and the assistance of corresponding extraordinary means, we confirmed that he was passively involved in this matter. Before that, there was no evidence that he had Know about Prince Edsac's problem.

"He was friends with the dead Talim Dumont, and he indirectly fulfilled some commissions given by the prince, but there was nothing wrong with that, at most it was a false report of some expenses."

Speaking of this, Ikanser suddenly felt a little guilty, because Sherlock Moriarty is also an informant of "Mechanical Heart", and the expenses he reimbursed here are likely to be exaggerated to a certain extent.

No matter what, his informant work is very effective and excellent, enough to offset many problems. Moreover, he became our informant not long ago, and the time that involved the most money was still "sharing"... Ikanser was slow He took a breath and continued to report:

"Our conclusion is that he is an innocent person and there is no hidden conspiracy behind him. He was keenly aware of the danger of the Red Rose Manor, but that is a typical example of wrong reasoning and correct results. What he fears is the strife of the royal family. For this reason, He has been passively slowing down his work and has not done substantive and in-depth investigations. He has reported this to us.

"It's a pity that he still couldn't avoid this incident, but he was also lucky enough. The descendant of the god of death he mentioned was monitoring near the Red Rose Manor and rescued him from the desperate situation where the meteorite fell in time. , The traces at the scene show that this is a very terrifying attack, most likely related to '0-08'."

Klein mentioned the existence of Ince Zangwill and "0-08" in his letter. As for whether he knew the former archbishop and the "0" level sealed item, no one cared, because he was with A It is entirely possible that Zeke Eggers knew about it from the mouth of the other party, and this is also the subconscious judgment of everyone.

On the "0" level and "1" level sealed artifacts, the seven orthodox churches have been notifying each other of the rough situation, the numbers are shared, and there is no duplication.

"...However, we do not have all the information. There are still three things that cannot be confirmed. First, '2-111' shows that after Sherlock Moriarty fled into the woods, he did not rush away, but stayed behind. In the same place, I don’t know who I’m praying to. Second, when did he and Azik Eggers meet? Third, how did he escape from the underground ruins? With his strength, it shouldn’t be possible. And in the process, he even destroyed the Aurora Society's advent ceremony." Ikanser concluded in the end.

"2-111" refers to the magic mirror of Arrods.

After listening quietly, Horamick laughed like he was talking to himself:

"Falsely reporting expenses..."

He immediately cleared his throat:

"No matter what, Sherlock Moriarty is Backlund's hero.

"If he hadn't stopped him in time, if he had been terrified at that moment and had chosen to run away, most of us would not be here today.

"Moreover, he also showed his belief in God and his friendliness to us. As long as he has no major problems, we can pretend that he doesn't know about some minor shortcomings and secrets."

"Your Excellency, this is exactly what we think." Ikanser said with a sigh of relief, "I guess that his prayers in the woods, including the ceremony of blowing the copper whistle, are all ways to contact Azik Eggers, But the effect is different, the speed is different, in such a critical situation, the only thing he can do is to save himself, we can infer this from the subsequent process of the matter."

"In addition to self-help, you can also write a suicide note." Another "Mechanical Heart" deacon joked, and then reported the link he was in charge of, "...We still haven't been able to find the underground place that Sherlock Moriarty described. The ruins, even with the help of '2-111', will not work, and the whereabouts of the high-sequence powerhouses of the royal family that day, we are temporarily unable to grasp."

"...It can be confirmed that the Church of Evernight received the information first, and it came from a special channel of Earl Hall. The details are unknown."

"...The forces of the Aurora Society in Backlund have been wiped out by us joining hands with the Nighthawks and Punishers, but I suspect that they still have hidden power..."

"...When the incident happened, the Triss mentioned by Sherlock Moriarty was heading to Backlund, but after that, no one saw her. According to Sherlock Moriarty, She was a key figure and was renamed Trissy Chick."

"...I can't figure out how the Church of Evernight captured the 'Witch of Despair' and the housekeeper Finkel. The results of divination tell me that they are still alive, but they are no longer free."

...

The deacons and captains reported their findings one after another. Horamick closed his eyes half-closed, as if he was thinking about something.

After more than ten seconds of silence in the room, he opened his eyes, and said in a moderate pace:

"Do all we can to find Trischik, if she's still alive.

"Give me a summary of the problems that divination cannot obtain effective revelation. There are saints in the church who are good at this, although it may not be more effective than '2-111'.

"The monitoring and investigation of high-sequence powerhouses in the royal family can be placed on the 'card table', so there is no need to worry too much. They have always known that we are doing these things, and this is also a warning.

"The investigation of the underground ruins continues, and it has been reported to the Church of the Night and the Storm.

"Ikanser, you ask '2-111' about how Sherlock Moriarty escaped from the ruins, and when did he meet Azik Eggers."

Looking at the archbishop and then at his colleagues, Ikanser gritted his teeth and said:

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

He sadly thought that his legend would soon spread from the several "Mechanical Heart" teams he was in charge of to the Church of Steam Extraordinary throughout Backlund.

After the proficient process, he said:

"Dear Arrods, my question is, when did Sherlock Moriarty know Azik Eggers?"

On both sides of the silver mirrors that seem to have eyes, there is a flash of water floating on it, quickly forming a picture:

Sherlock Moriarty stood in a room, watching a rat with a rotten belly climb the wall and burrow holes. Behind him were old Kohler and the owner of the cheap hotel.

"He met Azik Eggers when he completed the reward task. That task was issued by MI9, and it came from a coincidental conflict." Ikanser interpreted the content of the screen.

After speaking, he chose to answer equally, and then held his breath, waiting for Arrods to give the soul-piercing question.

No accident, he saw the bright red words:

"Do you know how it feels to try your best to please someone, but he leaves you where you are?"

This, this question is not sharp enough, unlike Arrods' usual style... Ikanser suddenly felt that the blood words on the mirror lacked the usual sense of horror, not bloody enough, and seemed weak.

Without thinking about why, he immediately answered:

"Know!"

"Congratulations, you got it right." New words appeared on the surface of the silver mirror, and the color turned white.

…………

January 5, 9:00 am.

With a gray scarf wrapped around his neck, Klein arrived at Rose Pier with his suitcase and walking stick.

The White Agate is moored there. Compared to humans, it is extremely large, and it is said that it can carry hundreds of passengers.

It has strong characteristics belonging to this era. The chimneys and sails stand side by side, and there are 12 cannons on both sides of the ship and corresponding gun positions-this is a must for guarding against pirates and colleagues.

Under the arrangement of the captain, Irlan Kager, the selected strong sailors and crew lined up at the port of the gangway, and some even deliberately exposed legal revolvers, rifles and sabers.

This gave the guests who boarded the ship a lot of sense of security, and no longer feared the next nine-day journey.

Klein stood below, looked up, and walked up the hanging ladder in the undulating blue water.

The journey has begun... As he walked, he sighed silently. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
