Mystery: Start with the Reader

v4 Chapter 136: The wind is rising

Inside the house at No. 7 Pinster Street, North District, Backlund.

Leonard, with black hair and green eyes, made tea for the two visiting ladies and handed it to the coffee table in front of them. Then he continued the conversation at the door just now. He cleared his throat and said:

"Miss Moretti, you want to know about Detective Sherlock Moriarty?

"But I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't accept the entrustment of the investigation.

"If you have anything, you should go to a professional private investigator."

Melissa glanced blankly at the man who had used various excuses to help her house for more than half a month, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious: "Liar!"

Leonard naturally read this too, he coughed awkwardly, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Melissa's chin slightly raised, her eyes slightly curved, and then said in a flat tone: "Leonard ·Mr. Mitchell, I already know that you are a 'Night Watcher'... and Klein used to be too!

"Now, can you tell me the real cause of Klein's death?"

Hearing this, Leonard's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly looked at Hazel, who was sitting on the side drinking tea. He looked at her sharply and asked, "You told Melissa's extraordinary knowledge? How could you do this? She's just an ordinary person and shouldn't know this!"

Hazel didn't answer immediately, she calmly put down the teacup, looked around, and praised sincerely: "It's really powerful 'dream' ability, if I don't have this arm, with my own 'deciphering scholar' ability, I'm sure Imperceptible."

Seeing this, Leonard frowned and said solemnly again: "Answer my question, Miss Hazel!"

However, before Harule could answer, Melissa suddenly interjected: "Mr. Mitchell, please don't press the teacher like this... Besides, you should answer my question first."

Leonard glanced at her in surprise, his expression became more serious, he tilted his head slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then cast his eyes on the one pinned to Melissa's chest that made people feel peaceful at first sight. "Badge".

After staring at the badge for a while, Leonard said helplessly, "Miss Moretti... You have become a Beyonder..."

After saying that, he glanced at Hazel with a bad expression, and then continued, "You called her teacher... Did you become a 'thief'?"

"No, I'm a 'understander'." Melissa shook her head, then rubbed her forehead with her hand, and said, "Mr. Mitchell, can you cancel the ability? I don't have much spirituality, so Way to always use the power of this badge to stay awake in dreams."

"Your brother and I are colleagues and friends... So just call me Leonard..." Leonard sighed, and then, silently, Harula and Melissa saw the surrounding scene shattering rapidly The crack disappears, as if one side of the glass is broken at the same time.

And the teacup that was put down also returned to Hazel's hands.

"Then, Leonard... Now that you know that I am also a Beyonder, can you tell me how Klein sacrificed?" Melissa looked at Leonard and asked again.

Looking at the stubborn gaze of the girl in front of him, Leonard hesitated for a while, but still didn't tell him the details: "I can't tell you about the cause of Klein's death, involving confidentiality regulations!"

Ince Zangwill is not an enemy that you, a little girl, can face... All the hatred should be borne by me! While thinking about this, Leonard directly changed the subject and said, "As an official Beyonder, I need to know where you got your 'Understanding' potion... This Miss Hazel gave it to you. Is it?"

Faced with this question, because she had obtained Abner's permission in advance, Melissa did not hide it and shook her head: "Although the teacher passed it on to me, this potion was actually given by Viscount Abner Brain. my reward...

"Reward me for the invention of the 'projector'."

Abner Brain? The detective who is suspected to be the old man's old friend Rhine Calendia revived on him?

It is rumored that Miss Hazel did befriend the detective... But why did he target Klein's sister?

Leonard squinted his eyes and turned his head slightly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he asked again, "It's the Viscount Brain who asked you to come to me for Sherlock's information, right?"

"Yes." Melissa nodded, "I want to know why that Detective Moriarty gave me an extraordinary item."

Maybe the resurrected old monster Abner Brain will notice Melissa because of that Sherlock Moriarty too?

That person is indeed very suspicious, and it is very likely that he is related to an organization code-named Tarot... He believes in "The Fool", the mortal enemy of the "True Creator"...

Coupled with the request of Klein's sister... He really deserves my investigation!

As his thoughts flashed, Leonard made a decision and smiled:

"The information you brought makes me think that I didn't know enough about Detective Sherlock before... I will check it out in detail in a while.

"I'll let you know when we have the results, how about that?"

Melissa gave him a deep look and nodded, "Yes."

Then, she pursed her lips, and couldn't help but ask: "Klein... Klein really sacrificed to protect Tingen from being hurt?"

"Yes, he is a hero! There is no doubt about that!" Leonard exhaled and said decisively.

"What an idiot... A Sequence 9 just went to such a dangerous mission..." Melissa bit her lip and mumbled before asking, "Leonard, I don't know how the cost of asking for your help is calculated. ?"

"You don't have to pay me, it's my job to investigate Sherlock Moriarty." Leonard waved his hand with a smile. Of course he couldn't take money from Klein's sister.

After that, the three exchanged a few more words, and then Melissa and Hazel put on their gauze caps and left.

Leonard frowned again after the two ladies drove away in the car: "Old man, what do you think your old friend wants to do?"

Pallez was silent for a while, and just when Leonard felt that he would not answer, an old voice sounded in his ear:

"I can't guess Rhine's mind either... However, you really should investigate Detective Sherlock Moriarty again, maybe the clue is in him."

...

Inside the Metropolitan Helping Home Servants Association, 9 Carnerowell Street, Chorwood.

After Klein settled Sharon, he came here, planning to hire an experienced housekeeper, and then ask the other party to organize a team of servants needed by the garden villa.

After all, according to the "settings", Dwayne Dantès made a fortune in Bayam because of an arms business. Naturally, he needs to enjoy a better life. He can't just use chores maids like before.

After putting forward her own needs, the waitress at the front desk, Beilein, peeked at Dawn, the more attractive gentleman with a blushing face, and professionally helped him select a suitable candidate:

"Mr. Asnia, 55 years old, he used to serve the Viscount of Yorkville. Later, because the Viscount failed to invest in mineral exploration and the family's finances were in crisis, he had to sell the land estate and dismiss a large number of servants and leave. In the past ten years, he successively Hired by two wealthy men who have made outstanding contributions to the management of their family.

"Mr Asnia is a believer of the Evernight Goddess, and his political leaning is more conservative. The annual salary required is 130 pounds."

As she spoke, Beilein's brown eyes were full of light, like two stars were hidden, with the vigor that is unique to young girls.

"In addition, Mr. Walter actually meets your requirements. Unfortunately, he has already accepted the employment of Viscount Berdan yesterday."

Viscount Berdan? Isn't that Abner? Didn't he hire a housekeeper before the ball? Why are you still recruiting?

Is it because there are many industries?

...

Backlund, in a section of the sewer in the Chorwood District.

A slightly hoarse female voice said:

"Walter, you said you successfully applied to be the butler of Viscount Abner Brain?

"That detective is not easy...and he once took a commission to investigate you...Aren't you afraid that he will discover your purpose?"

"It is precisely because Mr. Brian is not simple, following him is more likely to find out the truth of the prince's murder!" Walter replied after being silent for a few seconds.

"In the past, he had many self-proclaimed loyal subordinates, but now there are only a few people who still remember him~lightnovelpub.net~ and are willing to take risks for him. You are the most surprising to me." The hoarse female voice sighed.

"He was the first noble to treat me like that, and the one I really want to be loyal to." Walter replied in a low voice.

The woman seemed reluctant to continue talking on this topic, and instead said: "You prepare me a list of villains with ordinary backgrounds in the East District."

"What do you want this for?" Walter asked in surprise.

The voice asked indifferently: "I have to let that weak little guy understand what a real 'assassin' is...

"I understand that if you want to be a real woman, you can't do it without paying the price."
