Mystery: Start with the Reader

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

Leonard, who had black hair and green eyes, personally made tea for the two visiting ladies and handed it to them on the coffee table. Then he continued the conversation at the door. He cleared his throat and said:

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

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

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

Melissa glanced expressionlessly at the man who had helped her house for more than half a month under various excuses. The meaning in his eyes was clear: "Liar!"

Leonard naturally understood this meaning. He coughed awkwardly, and just as he was about to say something more, he saw Melissa's chin slightly raised, her eyes slightly bent, and then she said in a calm tone: "Leonard ·Mr. Mitchell, I already know that you are a 'Nighthawk'... and Klein was once 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 next to her drinking tea. He looked at her sharply and asked: "You told Melissa the extraordinary knowledge? How could you do this? She is just an ordinary person and shouldn’t know this!”

Hazel did not answer immediately. She calmly put down the teacup, looked around, and sincerely praised: "What a powerful 'dream' ability. If it were not for this arm, I would definitely be able to do it with my own 'Decryption Scholar' ability." Unnoticeable.”

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

But before Hazel could reply, Melissa suddenly interjected: "Mr. Mitchell, please don't press the teacher like this...and you should answer my question first."

Leonard glanced at her in surprise, his expression becoming more and more serious. He tilted his head slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then turned his attention to the peaceful necklace on Melissa's chest. "Badge" on.

After staring at the badge for a long time, Leonard said helplessly: "Miss Moretti... you have become an extraordinary person..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hazel with an unkind expression, and then continued, "You called her teacher...did you become a 'thief'?"

"No, I am a 'generalist'." Melissa shook her head, then rubbed her forehead with her hands, and said, "Mr. Mitchell, can you revoke your ability? I don't have much spirituality, I don't have any. The way is to always use the power of this badge to stay awake in the dream."

"Your brother and I are colleagues and friends... so just call me Leonard..." Leonard sighed, and then, silently, Hazel and Melissa saw the surrounding scene quickly shattering. The cracks disappeared, just like the glass was broken at the same time.

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

"Well, Leonard... now that you know that I am also an Beyonder, can you tell me how Klein died?" Melissa looked at Leonard and asked again.

Looking at the stubborn gaze of the girl in front of him, Leonard hesitated, but still did not tell her the details: "As for the cause of Klein's death, it involves confidentiality regulations, I can't tell you!"

Ince Zangwill is not an enemy that a little girl like you can face... Just let me bear all the hatred! While Leonard was thinking this, he directly changed the subject and said: "As an official Beyonder, I need to know where you got the 'General Knowledge' potion... It was this Miss Hazel who gave it to you. Of?"

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

"To reward me for my achievements in the invention of the projector."

Abner Breen? The detective who is suspected of reviving the old man's old friend Rhine Kallendia?

It is rumored that Miss Hazel is indeed on good terms with the detective... But why would he target Klein's sister?

Leonard narrowed his eyes and turned his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he asked again: "Isn't it the same Viscount Brain who asked you to come to me for information on Sherlock?"

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

Maybe the resurrected old monster Abner Bryan will notice Melissa because of that Sherlock Moriarty, right?

That person is indeed very suspicious, and is very likely to be related to the organization codenamed Tarot Cards... who believes in the "True Creator"'s mortal enemy "The Fool"...

Coupled with Klein's sister's request...he is indeed worthy of my further investigation!

As his thoughts turned, Leonard made a decision and smiled and said:

"The information you brought makes me feel that I may not have known enough about Detective Sherlock before... I will check it out in detail in the future.

"How about I tell you after we get the results?"

Melissa looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask: "Kline...Did Klein really die to protect Tingen from harm?"

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

"What an idiot... A Sequence 9 would go on such a dangerous mission..." Melissa bit her lip and muttered, and then asked: "Leonard, I don't know how the fee for your help is calculated. ?”

"You don't have to pay me. It's my mission to investigate Sherlock Moriarty." Leonard smiled and waved his hand. Of course, he couldn't accept money from Klein's sister.

After that, the three of them exchanged some pleasantries before Melissa and Hazel put on their gauze hats and said goodbye.

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

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

"I can't guess what Rhine is thinking...but you should really investigate Detective Sherlock Moriarty again. Maybe the clues are in him."

…

Inside the Metropolitan Help Domestic Servants Association, 9 Rowell Street, Carnerwood.

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

After all, according to the "setting", Dwayne Dantès made a fortune in Bayam due to an arms business, so he naturally needs to enjoy a better life and cannot just use maids as before.

After putting forward her needs, the front desk waitress Beilin blushed and peeked at Dawn, a gentleman who became more and more attractive the more she looked at him, and also professionally helped him select a suitable candidate:

"Mr. Asnia, 55 years old, once served the Viscount of Yorkville. Later, due to the failure of the Viscount's investment in mineral exploration, the family's financial crisis had to sell off the land and estates, lay off a large number of servants and leave. In the past ten years, he has successively Employed by two wealthy men, he made outstanding contributions to the management of their families.

"Mr. Asnia is a believer in the goddess of the night, and his political leanings are more conservative. He requires an annual salary of 130 pounds."

As she spoke, Beilin's brown eyes shone, as if they were hiding two stars, with the unique vitality of a young girl.

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

Viscount Bertin? Isn't it Abner? Didn't he hire a butler before the ball? Why are you still recruiting?

Is it because there are many industries?

…

Backlund, in a section of sewer in Jowood District.

A slightly hoarse female voice said:

“Walter, you said you successfully applied to become Viscount Abner Brain’s butler?

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

"It is precisely because Mr. Blaine is not simple. If you follow him, you will be more likely to find out the truth about the prince's murder!" Walter replied after being silent for a few seconds.

"He used to have many subordinates who claimed to be loyal, but now there are only a few who still remember him and are willing to take risks for him. You are the one who surprises me the most." The hoarse female voice sighed.

"He is the first nobleman to treat me like that, and he is also the person I really want to be loyal to." Walter responded in a low voice.

The woman seemed unwilling to continue talking on this topic, and instead said: "Prepare for me a list of villains with ordinary backgrounds in the East End."

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

But the voice asked something wrong: "We must let that weak little guy understand what a real 'assassin' is..."

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