Inside the private detective office.

Sir, your commission is completed.Henry, a private detective with tobacco and alcohol, looked at the gentleman in front of him wearing a black Yàn tuxedo, a half-height silk top hat and a dark face mask, and said with relief. This is really a difficult task. It is not difficult, but it takes too much energy. To be honest, I regret it very much, regretting the price it had been sold before.

No, no matter what you say, I won't pay even a penny extra!Klein emphasized in his heart, pointing to the thick stack of documents on the coffee table and said, is this the investigation report?

Yes.Henry held down the investigation report with at least sixty pages and sighed, this is the most troublesome thing I have ever done...

Before he finished speaking, he saw Klein handing over four pounds of paper money, so his attention turned to identifying the authenticity.

This is the final price.Klein reached out to hold the thick investigation report.

Henry coughed twice:

You are such an honest and trustworthy gentleman. Alas, I didn't expect that the investigation report would use so much paper, completely outside my budget.

At this moment, Klein picked up the very thick investigation report and stood up.

He bowed a little, and immediately lifted his cane and walked towards the door.

Detective Henry's follow-up words were blocked in his throat.

Hey, how could I pay for paper overhead for investigation reports?

This is included in the overall commission fee!

Klein touched the remaining £88 Suller's private money, muttered in his heart, and walked quickly to Besic Street.

He first observed around and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him before leaving here cleverly and finding an opportunity to take off his mask.

Klein did not plan to go home now, but planned to find a nearby cafe and quickly sorted out the investigation report, find out the houses that tenants had replaced after he divined the Red Chimney, and then check the parts before dinner.

There are quite a few cafes in the nearby neighborhood, but almost none meet Klein's requirements. Since steam and machinery have become symbols of the times, more and more cafes have lowered their style and become cheap restaurants, providing busy workers with dishes such as tea, coffee, bread, toast, and tender peas and lamb stews. As a result, decent gentlemen and lambs no longer talk to the cafe and no longer use this behavior as a symbol of identity. Various clubs have begun to appear, replacing the original social functions of the cafe.

After walking for a while, Klein finally found a cafe with a pretty good environment.

After sitting in the hidden corner booth, he took a sip of Nanwell's coffee that only required three or two pennies and carefully opened the investigation report.

…In the north, east, west, south, Jinwutong, dock and university districts in Tingen, a total of 1,179 houses with dark red chimneys… In the outskirts of Tingen, a total of 546 houses with the kind of red chimneys described by the employer… This does not include the small towns and villages that belong to Tingen but are relatively far away.

The following is the address of each house and the corresponding landlord and tenant information. According to the employer's requirements, the situation in the past three months has been collected in more detail.

……

Klein scanned page by page, constantly recording the paper he carried with his pen.

Finally, he found that after he divined the Red Chimney, there were tenants in a total of twenty-five houses.

Not too many, I will try to complete the investigation within two days. Well, I have seen the red chimney in the dream divination and part of the house. As long as I encounter it again in reality, I will inevitably develop spiritual familiarity and confirm the goal. Simply put, I am a human flesh inspector... Klein nodded silently and planned the fifteen places to go today according to the location of the house.

As for whether such an action is dangerous, he can get the answer without divination.

Since there is a tenant replacement, it means that the mastermind behind the fate of being inconsistent and the coincidence of events has left!

I hope I can know the ex-tenant from the landlord... However, since the guy hidden behind the scenes can affect my destiny without realizing it, and let coincidence appear naturally, there will definitely be a way to eliminate the traces of his own existence... Alas, I can only pray to the goddess to make that guy have some omissions... Klein exhaled, forcibly cheered up, put on a silk top hat, took his cane and report, and got up and walked out of the cafe.

Next, he spent 2 Sule to hire a two-wheeled carriage and ran the fifteen houses with red chimneys before dinner. Unfortunately, they were not the ones he saw in his dream.

If tomorrow's investigation is the result, things will be troublesome. He actually lives in the red chimney house that I divined before... This either means that he has enough confidence, is not afraid of my investigation, or is not afraid of the arrest of the Tingen market capitalization Nightcrew team, or it means that he does not know that he has been exposed. Later, what fights against me divination was a force that does not belong to him... Klein stood at the door of No. 2 Narcissus Street, analyzing one possibility after another.

After several minutes, he patted some dust on the black Yàn tuxedo, pressed the half-height silk top hat on his head, took out the copper key, and opened the door with a smile on his face.

He was going to prepare a braised lamb and honey barbecue for Benson and Melissa tonight.

…………

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the three brothers and sisters who said good night entered their bedrooms respectively.

Klein closed the door and stood in front of the desk. He looked out the convex window in the light of the gas lamp. At this time, the nearby block was dark, with only a few street lights guiding the direction. The stars in the sky were embedded on the black curtain, little by little, not clear.

I don’t know what Beckland, known as the ‘land of hope’ and ‘capital of all capitals’, would look like… Klein whispered silently, reached out to hold the curtain, ready to pull it.

Wow!

At this moment, a cold wind blew by without warning, and the light of the gas lamp suddenly turned green.

Klein subconsciously took a few steps back, and instinctively let his left teeth knock twice. At the same time, he leaned hard towards the head of the bed, trying to get the pistol pressed under the pillow.

In his sight, a face suddenly appeared on the wall under the gas lamp and above the desk, with no eyes, no nose, only a translucent face!

Don't shoot.The face opened its mouth and said.

Can you communicate?Klein had his gun in his hand and aimed at the target.

what you up to?He asked in a deep voice.

The face chuckled:

I'm Daly.

Daly?Psychic Daly?Daly, the psychic who was transferred to the parish of Beckland?Klein frowned in confusion:

Ms. Daly?

I know that such a visit is too rough and should inform you in advance so that you can be fully prepared, but suddenly I wanted to try to communicate with you through this little guy.The translucent eyeless face smiled.

Although his voice was wrong and slight and harsh, it was indeed Ms. Daly's speaking style... The ability of the psychic is really cool... Klein sighed secretly and asked without lowering his muzzle:

Madam, what do you want to communicate with me?

If I were you, I would first seal the bedroom with spirituality, otherwise your family would think you have a mental problem.The translucent and weird face quipped, "Haha, you don't need to be so alert. I secretly returned to Tingen because of the letter from Dunn. You know, the night-time person cannot leave his jurisdiction at will.

Captain's letter?Klein did not approach the desk, but instead found the Hinayan Powder from the dark pocket on the inside of the black windbreaker on the coat rack.

Dunn and I are both extraordinary people who grew up in the Tingen market capitalization Nightclub team, and their relationship has been well maintained. Last Thursday, yes, Thursday, he sent me a letter, mentioning your affairs, saying that you imitate the maxims of secret peeping people, summarizing your own "Divider Code" from divination behavior, and claiming that this effectively helps you master the potion so that you no longer hear the sounds you shouldn't hear or see the picture. Dunn said, this is very similar to me.

Haha, you really don't go to seal the room?I personally don't mind being misunderstood by your brother and sister.The translucent face explained with a slow speech.

So that's it... it's Ms. Daly... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the Holy Night powder back into his inner pocket, then came to the desk a few steps, and took out the ceremony from the drawer with a silver knife.

He quickly built a spiritual wall, turned around and looked at the strange face highlighted on the wall and said:

Ms. Daly, what did the captain say in the letter?

He just expressed his doubts, felt that he had grasped something, but he could not clearly realize that he hoped to get my opinion.Daly said with the help of a strange face without eyes and nose. As soon as I read the letter this morning, I knew that you are definitely not as ignorant as you said yourself. Haha, Mr. Moretti, I think you should have summarized the way to play!

Is this what you came to me for?Klein asked back without affirmation or denial.

Dailey had already clearly understood the way to play... He made a calm judgment in his heart.

Daly made the translucent face look a little smile:

Yes.

I think we should be honest with each other on this matter. I know that you have summarized the acting method, and you must also know that I have mastered the acting method. Alas, what is unpleasant is that it took me nearly two years to clearly realize that you have only become an extraordinary person for a month and a half.

Hearing Daly's words, Klein thought for a moment, then smiled calmly:

This is because you are my role model.

He originally wanted to say that I was just standing on the shoulders of the giant, but in the end he decided not to give Roselle the Great the chance to appear in his ears again.
