Chapter 14 The Steward and the Investigator

With the experience of almost being backlashed last time, Quins no longer dared to use the power of the five elements together, but divided the divination. However, compared with the chemical reaction produced by the fusion of the five elements, the divination separately was weak.

Very much.

After tinkering for a long time, he roughly divined the rough information about the next "murder case".

Early the next morning, Salisbury took Buddy and broke into the door of Quins' house early. When Buddy came to ask for help yesterday, Salisbury didn't say anything when he heard that Quins was involved.

He said that he agreed without even asking what the mission was. In the morning, he even shouted that Buddy came to Quins' house.

After becoming a wizard, Quins always got up early, always feeling that there was not enough time. This habit was passed on to Bayonetta, and she got into the habit of getting up early.

Quins: "Since we're here, let's have breakfast together."

Buddy was already sitting on the dining table. After eating a piece of white bread, Buddy said: "Quins, you should find a cook, a housekeeper, and a maid. It's still not good for two people to live here."

convenient."

Quins: "That's right, things started happening just after I got here, so I don't have time to take care of them."

Salisbury: "I have a recommendation."

Quince: "Tell me about it." Bayonetta's control has increased, which is tantamount to revealing something.

Salisbury: "Baron Percy had just gone bankrupt three days ago. He was planning to sell off his property in Taopaphi and pay off his debts, then go to the countryside to live. Now the servants, butlers, and cooks in his house are all looking for other jobs.

The housekeeper's name was Edie Fergus,

The last three generations have been housekeepers, and his family is clean. His father is the housekeeper to Duke Maltzgiles, who is now a member of the House of Lords. If you want a cook and a maid, it will be easier. After you hire Edie Fergus, you can take over the cook directly.

Just pass you."

Quins: "That sounds good. In that case, let's call Edie Fergus over later." The three of them are all from the Investigation Department, so they naturally know that since Salisbury has spoken, he is going to take a look.

Edie Fergus's true identity is revealed.

Salisbury agreed repeatedly.

Buddy interjected: "That's all for the housekeeper. Let's talk about the murder case. Let Salisbury also give advice. Maybe he can get more clues."

While eating breakfast, Buddy recounted the basic information and what happened last night.

Quins continued: "I checked the information again last night, and sure enough, not far from where the first three cases occurred, there was a manhole cover outlet for the sewer."

Buddy swallowed the last piece of bread, wiped his mouth and said, "It's time to go to the sewer and investigate."

Salisbury: "I'm afraid there won't be much gain. Seeing how thorough this organization's approach is, I don't think there will be many clues left in the sewers."

Buddy nodded in agreement: "Even so, as usual, an investigation is still required."

Quines asked: "Salisbury, what do you think of this case?"

Salisbury: "You ask me? My opinion is, directly apply for an increase in mission level."

Quins frowned: "Do you think the mission may involve higher-level transcendent beings?"

Salisbury looked solemn: "The possibility is very high."

Buddy rolled his eyes: "If you want to apply, you should have applied earlier, and I will come to you."

Salisbury looked at Buddy: "Buddy, Buddy, you are determined to get a lot of credit, be careful of the wind blowing your waist."

There are not many such things in the Investigation Section, but there are also quite a few. After noticing that the difficulty of the tasks has increased, in order to gain more points, many of them have completed the tasks concealed.

"Of course, I want a large amount of points to redeem the secret."

"Ha, you finally figured out how to redeem the secret."

"I can't do it without exchanging it," Buddy sighed: "I don't have time to wait any longer." This is the sorrow of most bloodline people.

Quins said: "Salisbury, I'm sorry to involve you, but if you want to withdraw, it's still too late."

Salisbury waved his hand: "No, anyway, I have been spending a lot of money recently and I need some credit. It would be better if you could communicate with me about secret medicine every day."

Quins pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you. After this matter is over, I can exchange some of my secret medicine knowledge with you."

"Really?!" Salisbury jumped up when he heard the news.

Quins nodded affirmatively. He did not expect Salisbury to be so excited after hearing this condition, but since Salisbury has agreed, Quins will not delve into anything. For him,

Said, this is a matter of mutual benefit.

After breakfast, Salisbury went out for an hour. After arriving at Quins' house with Edie Fergus, the housekeeper, he went out with Buddy to investigate the four sewers Quins said.

Went to the exit.

In fact, it only took Quins ten minutes from meeting Edie Fergus to confirming the employment. Because he secretly obtained a piece of Edie Fergus's hair and experimented with a water mirror for divination.

It became simple for two people. It didn't take him much effort to hire this experienced housekeeper with a monthly salary of 40 silver coins. And the first task he gave Edie Fergus was to hire a housekeeper.

The cook and a domestic maid.

After lunch, Quins went out and came to the headquarters of the Black Hand Gang, which was the tavern where Quines had met Bert Gary before. This was the place where Quins and Buddy had arranged to meet.

As soon as he entered the door, Quins saw a different atmosphere from last night. Little Tail Dora stood next to Buddy obsequiously, pouring wine and serving food from time to time. The Black Hand Gang members around him were even more silent, even eating carefully for fear of chewing.

The sound disturbed Buddy and Salisbury, who were sitting in the middle.

Quins knocked on the door frame with his civilized staff and said calmly: "Get out of here."

Everyone was relieved, and soon there were only three Quins left in the tavern. Quins discovered that the little tail Dora had escaped.

Buddy stuffed his mouth with food and said in a straight voice: "Done?"

Quins nodded: "What are you doing, making yourself look like a gang boss?"

Salisbury said: "Ignore him. I don't know where he went wrong. He said he wanted to experience the feeling of being a gangster."

Quins stroked his forehead. Sometimes he felt uncomfortable with Buddy's nervousness: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you investigated the four sewers? What did you find?"

Salisbury glanced at Buddy's bulging cheeks and sighed: "As expected, there were no big discoveries, and all traces were erased. However, in the sewer yesterday, I discovered

Some clues."

"Oh?" Quins was a little surprised: "What clue?"

Salisbury lifted the placket around his waist, revealing rows of thumb-sized glass beads tied around his waist. These glass beads were colorful. If you look closely, you can see the various liquids poured into the beads. Take the

A glass containing blue

Glass beads, Salisbury said: "This is the blue dog water I refined. After applying it on the tip of your nose, you can get a dog-like sense of smell. In that sewer, I smelled many kinds of smells. How about it?

Do you want to buy some? It’s very effective.”

"Blue Dog Water, that's a terrible name." Buddy interjected.

Quins: "..."

"Tell me about clues." Quins said with a straight face, somewhat unwilling to talk to Salisbury. Several exchanges with Salisbury would eventually turn into the Salisbury trade show scene.

Salisbury shrugged: "According to my analysis, the smell contains the smell of pig blood, the smell of prostitutes, the smell of prostitutes, and the rotten smell of the dead, etc."

Quins touched his chin and thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out the point: "Where is your conclusion? What are your thoughts?"

Salisbury shook his head: "This is so weird. That boy has so much smell on him. It doesn't make sense."

"It seems that we have to do it again," Quins said: "But the problem now is how to find out the person behind the control of the vampire and the origin of the boy."

Buddy chuckled: "That's why I recommend you find Salisbury."

Quins looked at Salisbury questioningly.

Salisbury coughed: "Let me formally introduce you..."

"To get to the point," Quins interrupted Salisbury's nonsense.

Salisbury choked for a moment, and after mumbling some words, he said: "I have put an infectant in the sewer you mentioned before, and it can last for a day.

Any creature that has been exposed in the sewer will be contaminated with my exclusive colorless and odorless fumigant, and when the time comes...hehe."

Buddy: "Let me tell you, it will definitely be useful to find him." It turns out that Buddy subpoenaed him to ask for the location and time of the next murder. Quins thought to himself, but after thinking about it, it is true that the sewers in an area, even if

The scope has been narrowed down, but the cost of the fumigants is definitely high.

"I also have a revealing agent that can make the controlled puppet show its control power, and then trace it back to the controller behind it." When talking about his proud work, Salisbury looked very proud, feeling quite proud of his work.
