Chapter 157 The Applause of the Audience

Bounties, fares, potions with extraordinary effects... Emlyn White couldn't react for a while.

This was not the answer he expected.

What about being a gentleman? The vampire thought dazedly.

As a detective, clear accounting is a necessary quality, and you also delayed me from going to the Kragg Club. I don’t know what the limited supply is for these two days... Klein looked at Emlyn White and slandered half-jokingly. One sentence.

After a few seconds, Emlyn forced a smile and said:

"The patient must be seen to be able to dispense the right medicine."

He sounds very confident... Klein nodded thoughtfully.

He immediately thought of a question:

The White family seems to be an excellent Potions Scientist. If I was really injured and poisoned, I could definitely come to them for treatment... I worked so hard to get it from Father Utravsky." Pharmacist" formula, isn't it useless? There is no need to train an assistant who is good at healing... Plans are not as fast as changes...

However, it's not considered a waste, the cost has already been recovered from Miss "Magician". As long as something like a formula exists, it is always valuable...

And the White family will definitely stay away from Riverbend Avenue in the future, and hide their identities again to settle down. I may not be able to find it, it will not be so convenient...

No, before the hint of the "Dream Candle" is resolved, go to the Harvest Church to stay, and you should be able to wait until Emlyn White...

Thinking of this, Klein took off his hat and saluted:

"No problem, I'll take you there when the time comes.

"I won't waste your time."

Emlyn White's expression changed, and he said hesitantly:

"If you can eliminate the influence of the nightmare candle, you can get more rewards, and..."

He paused, raised his chin and said, "And the friendship of the blood race."

I am a "magician", and what I have is a sun brooch and a biotoxin bottle. The use of the mental body is limited to channeling. What can I do? Among the people I know, Miss "Justice" is closer, but she is only Sequence 8, and she is just a "mind reader"... Unless,

Unless you believe in "fools who don't belong to this era", we can study how to use the knowledge recorded in the "Book of Secrets" to help you solve this problem through the corresponding rituals... Speaking of it, vampires seem to be from the original moon Worshipers, they are very similar to the Witch King... The ancient god recorded in the City of Silver, Lilith, the ancestor of vampires, couldn't be the original moon, right? Klein smiled thoughtfully and said:

"I will help you pay attention to the corresponding method."

Emlyn White nodded, said no more, turned around impatiently, and rushed to the door.

If the coachman was not still nearby, he would have spread his black bat wings and vacated directly to the second floor.

Klein laughed and shook his head with emotion.

He took the rented carriage just now, came to the steam subway station not far away, and returned to No. 15 Minsk Street, Jorwood District.

Before entering the door, Klein, who had developed a habit, opened the mailbox to check for any letters.

To his surprise, there was indeed a letter.

There was no postage stamp on the letter, it was addressed to Detective Sherlock Moriarty, and it was signed by Jurgen Cooper.

Lawyer Jurgen? Klein picked up the envelope suspiciously and tore it open.

By the light of the street lamp, he saw a piece of paper and two bills inside.

The denominations of the two banknotes are 1 soli and 5 soli respectively.

A total of 6 soli...During this period, I fed the cat three times...the agreement was 2 soli each time...Klein opened the door and entered the house with a sense of comprehension, and lit the gas lamp.

Unfolding the letter paper, he found that there was not much content on it, and the words written by Jurgen were as meticulous, serious and restrained as he himself.

"Dear Detective Moriarty:

"Thank you for taking care of Brody during this time, this is the reward you deserve.

"I came to ring the doorbell twice, but found that you were not at home, so I had to put the payment in an envelope and put it in your mailbox.

"If I don't do this, I may not be free until tomorrow evening, which will miss the verbally agreed time, which my grandma promised is tonight.

"As a lawyer, I value the validity of oral contracts and expect them to be strictly enforced.

"Finally, thank you again.

"Jurgen Cooper."

Mr. Lawyer, your thanks are really dry and meaningless. It’s not as good as Brody. Your explanation of your behavior is very detailed. During the period before I crossed over, I didn't necessarily look at the letter box downstairs for several months... Klein smiled and folded the banknotes, put them in his pocket, then took out the letter paper, and wrote a letter to Detective Stuart .

After the greetings at the beginning, he thought about it and wrote:

"...I found Emlyn White at the Harvest Church near Tutwa Street. It is a small church belonging to the Church of the Mother Earth, which is rare in Ruen...Emlyn White Claiming that he chose to run away from home because of certain things, he was taken in by the bishop of the Harvest Church, lived there, and became a..."

Klein thought for a while and wrote down the word "volunteer".

Then he said succinctly:

"After my persuasion, he has returned to 48 River Bend Avenue, but he may often go to Harvest Church to do volunteer work."

After writing, Klein read it through, then put down the pen, and neatly folded the letter paper.

He took out the envelope, but did not affix the corresponding stamp, and planned to hire someone to deliver it directly to Stuart's home tomorrow.

——If you use the Kingdom’s postal system, even if you put the letter in the mailbox now, it will not be picked up until tomorrow, and there will be sorting and delivery after that. At least the day after tomorrow, if there is hope to see this letter, it is possible to notify the White couple, and Emlyn White is now a penniless guy who only has a doll.

This is also to receive the reward as soon as possible... Klein chuckled, cleaned up the coffee table, and went back to the second floor to brush his teeth and take a bath.

…………

On Wednesday morning, after spending 2 solis and entrusting a taxi driver to deliver the letter, Klein bought some main ingredients for Dixie paella, and planned to make fried rice with eggs today.

Thinking of the white grains of rice, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

After spending a certain amount of time and going through all kinds of tossing about the utensils and the kitchen, he finally made a pot of delicious egg fried rice, served with bacon and black tea, and almost burst into tears.

What a nostalgic and touching taste... After eating two large plates of fried rice with eggs, Klein slumped on a chair and stroked his stomach.

In the matter of Emlyn White, because the opponent did not play cards according to common sense, his performance ended before it really started, and it failed to achieve the expected purpose. Therefore, he could only look for another opportunity to actively perform.

In this regard, Klein is not without gain, failure is also experience, which at least made him understand one thing:

"Different from ordinary magicians, my 'performance' not only has assistants, but also enemies, and participants. Their reactions and choices will also affect the development of things. These factors must be considered in advance...

"This can also be regarded as a lesson. It is better to learn from such small things than to be taught to be a man in some important things..."

Klein looked at the empty plate in front of him, thinking about what other "performances" he could take the initiative to do.

After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was no such thing.

Of course, it's not that there is absolutely no, but it's not suitable for him to do it now.

For example, the evil spirit in the ruins of the Tudor Dynasty in the Fourth Epoch, Klein has always wanted to solve it, but even with Sharon who has the "Crimson Moon Crown" and Maric who has the legacy of the out-of-control "Wraith" , he also didn't think that he and others could fight monsters at high sequence level, maybe they didn't even know how they died.

Taking the initiative to perform does not mean taking the initiative to die, and it does not mean putting your life on the show... Klein warned himself in his heart.

There is another thing that he really wants to do, but he doesn't think there is any chance.

That event was the search for Will Auceptin, the strange kid who brought surgeon Alan bad luck.

Klein has always been interested in the deck of tarot cards in the opponent's hand, wanting to confirm whether it is a magical item.

It's a pity that this matter has already been taken over by the "Nighthawks", and Klein doesn't really want to interfere with the actions of his former colleagues.

When Dr. Allen is resting, go to the Kragg Club to inquire about the progress, and then decide what to do... Klein's idea quickly took shape.

As far as he knew, Dr. Allen was generally free on Friday afternoons and Sundays, and would go to the Kragg Club to play tennis.

And just now Klein also confirmed one thing through today's "Becklund Morning Post", that is, there will be a gathering of Extraordinary people called by the old Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" tomorrow night.

For the time being, we can't sell the "Werewolf" Extraordinary characteristic or the biotoxin bottle, and we can't even find someone to make the former into a magical item... The high-sequence powerhouse of the Rose School of thought must still be active nearby, must be full of anger, and can't wait to find and tear it up. Broken Sharon, Maric and their helpers... During this time, this aspect should be a little more low-key... Klein picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and started to clean up the dining table.

What he originally thought was to take a rest today and go to the Kragg Club to spend a leisurely day without taking the initiative to perform. However, he remembered the clone of Amon who was able to discover the gray fog and tried to infiltrate it. played the role played by The Book of Secrets in that crisis.

So Klein lit the fireplace in the living room, brought the "Book of Secrets" back to the real world, and then concentrated on reading, pondering carefully, and taking notes.

Of course, he would burn the corresponding notes on the gray fog afterwards.

Before he knew it, at noon, he suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell being rang.

After hiding the "Book of Secrets", Klein entered the living room and went straight to the door.

The visitor was none other than Detective Stuart with a thin face and beard.

He looked at Klein with great reverence and excitement, and couldn't wait to praise him:

"You are indeed a great detective with abundant resources and channels. You can solve this kind of missing person case without any clues so quickly!"

…why do I feel a slight change in my spirituality? It seems that the potion has digested a little more... That is to say, my "performance" was still successful in a certain way, but the audience only had this one in front of me, and he was the only one who was deceived, and only saw that the result was good Yes... "Audience's applause" is really useful... Klein was taken aback, showing a warm smile.
