【The doctor in the steampunk world】【】

On the second floor of a slightly dilapidated old building at the end of Fifth Avenue in the outer city, there is a huge red arrow on the wall of the corridor, and a few large characters are graffitied on the arrow.

Fox Detective Agency!

A handsome middle-aged man came here, went up the stairs, and came to the so-called Fox Detective Agency.

Bang bang bang bang on the old iron gate.

"Come here, come here." An impatient voice sounded in the room two minutes later, a sleepy man in pajamas opened the door inside and looked at the person coming through the iron door.

"Who are you."

"Looking for you to do something."

As soon as the man inside heard the business, he immediately opened the iron door and welcomed Simon in enthusiastically.

Inside is a small hall, and further inside is the reception room.

The man in pajamas welcomed the handsome middle-aged man into the reception room, and enthusiastically poured him a glass of water.

"Where are you Fox detectives?"

"Wait a minute, I'll invite him over now." The man in pajamas left quickly and closed the door of the reception room.

After a while, a shaggy, bald old man with a decadent demeanor walked in, with a low-quality cigarette in his mouth, casually pulled the chair in front of the desk and sat down, and then looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him.

"What did you ask me to investigate?"

The handsome middle-aged man looked at the bald old Hei and shook his head: "I never imagined that Chief Strand, who was known as the smartest in Fossa City back then, would turn out to be like this?"

That's right, the bald old man in front of him is Strand, the director of the Ninth Bureau of Fossa City more than 20 years ago.

He stepped down from the position of chief ten years ago, to be precise, he was kicked out.

Fossa City has become a trading city, a resource trading city, how could the knight department in such an important city be handed over to outsiders.

Strand was stubborn and unwilling to stand in the team, so he was designed and kicked out of the nine rounds.

Now I am running this detective agency in Fossa City, but the business has not been good, so let's try to get by.

Of course, the handsome middle-aged man in front of him was none other than Simon in disguise.

Stellan's eyes flashed and he looked at Simon: "You know me?"

Simon didn't answer, and continued: "I have been away from Fossa City for many years. I thought Director Strand would be very prosperous, but I didn't expect to end up in this kind of field."

Simon shook his head, then took out a cigar from his pocket, and raised his hand as a gesture.

Stran waved his hand: "I'm not the director anymore, just call me Strand."

Simon cut the cigar by himself: "I remember you used to like smoking cigars."

"I haven't smoked for many years, and now I'm used to smoking this kind of cigarette." Strain shrugged and pressed the inferior cigarette case on the desk.

Simon lit himself, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"You came to see my joke?" Strand asked.

"That's not true, it's just that I haven't been back for a long time. Fossa City doesn't have many friends, and it's very boring. I heard that you are here, so I'll come and have a look." Simon sighed.

Stellan nodded expressionlessly, then snuffed out the nearly burnt cigarette in his hand, and lit another one for himself.

Strand was silent for half a minute and said, "It's okay to come and see my joke. Simon, thank you for remembering me."

Simon frowned and laughed: "My disguise is perfect, how did you recognize me?"

Stran's hands visibly trembled, and he took a deep breath: "Guess, I really didn't see through your disguise. But from your body shape, demeanor and way of speaking, combined with what you just said, I guess 70% It's you. I didn't expect to guess right."

"As expected of Mr. Strand, even though he is old, his eyes are still very poisonous." Simon took off the Van Puss mask on his face.

Stellan stared blankly at Simon's face, which had hardly changed much, with an extremely responsible expression: "You are still the same as before, nothing has changed."

"Although the appearance has not changed, but the mentality is much older." Simon sighed.

"Did you come back this time for Chikewin?" Strand asked again after pondering for more than ten seconds.

Simon snapped his fingers: "Excellent, you guessed it right again."

"It seems that you still have people left in Fossa City." Strand said in a deep voice.

Simon smiled, but didn't answer.

"Since you're here, let me tell you something. There's something wrong with the woman Chikewen married." Strand said seriously.

"Have you investigated?"

"I found it by accident, so I investigated it, but she is very mysterious, and there are people behind her, so I didn't find much good stuff."

"I know, but it's all right, that woman and the people behind her have been dealt with." Simon said calmly.

Stellan was taken aback, and then smiled wryly. He tried his best to investigate for a long time, but he couldn't find out about the longevity species. Simon took care of everything when he first arrived.

This is the gap in strength.

"You came back this time only for the matter of Chekewen? If you have any thoughts about Fossa City, I advise you to think it through. The knight level of Fossa City has increased a lot over the years, and it is not so easy to deal with."

Simon shook his head and smiled: "If I really want to do something, with the manpower in Fossa City, I can't even last half a day."

Stellan paused when he smoked, and was shocked by Simon's domineering words.

Strand's expression became complicated: "It seems that you have arranged a lot in Fossa City."

Simon shook his head and continued to talk about himself: "Stran, if you go to other cities or the capital with your ability, you will definitely be better off than you are now if you join any force. Why do you have to stay in Fossa City?"

"When I get old~lightnovelpub.net~, I don't want to worry about it anymore. My life is pretty good now, I don't have too many troubles, and I live comfortably."

"Comfortable?" Simon laughed.

"The general environment of Fossa City is like this. In such an environment, there is no power, no power, no strength, so how can you be at ease."

"When you get used to it, you will be comfortable."

"It's really not like what you said."

"The longer you live and the more you see, the more you can figure out a lot of things."

Simon nodded: "Actually, this is also a method. The living environment is like this. You can either try to change it, or bow your head to adapt, and just live happily."

Stellan stared at Simon and asked, "Then what kind are you?"

"I, like before, also want to be free, be a salted fish, be a rich man, and spend my whole life. Unfortunately, there are always people who don't want me to live freely. I have no choice but to let those who don't let me live freely. The people and environment that lived freely disappeared." Simon's tone was calm, but domineering and confident.

Strand took out another cigarette and lit it: "This is not easy."

"So I've lived a very tired life these years, which violated my original intention. But fortunately, it's worth it to be tired. At least I won't be forced to leave Fossa City like before. But I still have a long way to go , it’s not easy to go.”

"Although I don't know what you are doing, but since you have enough power, you are still not satisfied. In fact, you are obsessed with power and want more." Stellan said in a deep voice.

"Hehehe, that's right, and it's not right."
