Chapter 196 December

What? I asked me to check myself again? Klein almost suspected that it was the other party deliberately trying.

It is really interesting to use tarot cards as symbols. I think so, but I don’t want to betray myself... By the way, Kaping’s matter is obviously not simple. He has four extraordinary people to protect him. There must be a big force behind it. What is the difference between investigating this case and being involved in the upper class? Well, this is not something Sherlock Moriarty should know... Klein showed a thoughtful expression and said carefully:

“It’s not easy to find a mysterious organization, and it’s very dangerous.”

Talim seemed to have expected his answer, and laughed:

"Sherlock, you don't need to take risks. The big man means paying more attention to collecting corresponding information or rumors. Here is 5 pounds of cash, which is the funding for your activity. Even if you don't receive any valuable information, you won't be refunded. Once you get useful clues, he will pay one by one and reimburse you for your expenses throughout the process."

Such good conditions? That big man values ​​this matter very much... Is he related to the forces behind Kaping, or does he hope to find a mysterious organization with the tarot card as the code to help him do things? Reimbursement... It's been a long time since I heard someone promised me such a thing... The other party's words have been to this level. If a private detective refuses, it would seem too suspicious... And investigating his own affairs should obviously be in his own hands... Klein hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Without politeness, he took the five pound denomination bills handed over by Talim, intending to provide a plausible clue every week or two.

Isn't the "Aurora Club" looking for "fool"? "fool" obviously belongs to the tarot card! I hope that the big man will pursue it all the way and get rid of Mr. A... Klein gradually had some thoughts in his mind.

…………

The underground part of St. Samuel's Church.

"Requiem" Soster summoned all the team members to discuss what to do next.

He looked at Leonard Mitchell, who had green eyes, and spoke half-inquired and half-in-one.

"If you are left to you, how do you plan to investigate those two cases related to the Tarot ceremony?"

Leonard raised his hand to combed his hair and smiled:

"First, follow the previous idea, and go to search for the people or organizations that look for the believers of the "fool" in reverse. They may know something. Second, re-examine the previous two cases and put all the people involved on the list, regardless of whether there is any suspicion or not! Then rely on the ability of the "Nightmare" to ask questions and eliminate them. The devil may be hidden in the details and hidden in the seemingly impossible people."

Soster laughed:

"I have looked through the files. There are many people involved in these two cases. They live in different places. It is quite difficult to re-check them. Moreover, some of them are extraordinary people who are active in the underground world and know how to hide themselves. We have no way to grasp their whereabouts. If you investigate according to your ideas, it is not just a small team. The church must invest at least five night watchers and corresponding auxiliary personnel in Sequence 7."

"The focus of our responsibility is to summon the demons." Another Red Glove reminded Leonard.

Leonard was angry when he saw this and laughed:

"I know, I just provide advice, whether to adopt or not, to what extent is Captain Soster's right."

He paused, showing a puzzled expression:

"I'm very puzzled. Why are the two cases related to the Tarot ritual not high priority? The former involves events that the evil god intends to come, which is many times more serious than simply summoning the demon."

Souther picked up the coffee and took a sip, and replied slowly:

"The night watchers have limited personnel, so the case must have a certain priority. The secret organization represented by Tarot has not shown any obvious malice to us so far. Their actions have helped us in a sense, for example, destroying the arrival of the 'real creator', for example, let us know that Kaping, a human trafficker, is not simple, and there are big secrets behind it."

Speaking of this, he outlined the corners of his mouth and said:

“Maybe they can help us find out more bad things.

"Of course, necessary investigations must be found, and no one can guarantee that the secret organization will not be enemies of us in the future."

"I understand, Captain Soster, let's focus on the case of summoning the demons." Leonard said sincerely.

…………

The winter days in Beckland are always inseparable from the fireplace and the fog, and time passes quickly in this cold and gray feeling.

It seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and there is still half a month left before the New Year.

Klein extinguished the charcoal from the fireplace and put a double-breasted tweed coat on the outside of the crimson wool vest.

Nearly three weeks ago, Rapard finally got the patent for a bicycle and began to find a suitable second-round investor, steam-powered car tycoon Franmy Cage, expressed some interest in this.

After several contacts, the three parties made an appointment to make a final negotiation today.

In the past month, Klein has been doing calmly. With the help of investigating the case, he digested the potion step by step in detail. Now, it is only a big proactive performance that is far from being completely completed.

If there is nothing urgent, you can not take risks. In another month, it will be almost done... Klein took off the half-height silk top hat from the coat rack with a brush and handkerchief to smooth the folds and remove the dust.

The badge left by Ranrus pointed to the party on January 4, and he had no idea of ​​attending.

During this period, the "Tarot Club" was still on the frequency once a week. Klein got several pages of Rossell's early diary, witnessing the other party's departure from a weak bird who only fantasizes and dares not take action to a playboy who actively hunts.

Apart from this, he had almost no other gains. Although the extraordinary characteristics of "wewolves" were handed over to the "hanged man" for sale through the "world", the business involving more than a thousand pounds is obviously not so easy to achieve, and the cursed characteristics of "wewolves" also discouraged many interested people.

However, at the Tarot party a few days ago, the "hanging man" told the "world" that he had contacted a "craftsman" from the Steam Church, and the other party was obviously a little moved.

"I hope I can get it done this week... There is no clue to the 'Windrenter' recipe that Mr. 'Hangered Man' needs..." Klein packed up his personal belongings, took his cane, put on his hat, and walked out of the door - the "Windrenter" potion formula belongs to Sequence 6, and it is not so easy to encounter. "Hangered Man" Alger waited for more than a month, but he still couldn't hear the good news.

After "Justice" Audrey endured a long-term observation and test, she finally got the recognition of the "Psychological Alchemy". She reported to Mr. Fool, saying that she should be able to officially join the secret organization this week, hoping to get protection in advance to avoid accidents. For this reason, she prepared to search for at least ten pages of the "Psychological Alchemy" and devoted it to Mr. Fool without any compensation.

As for the dragon specimens in the Duke of Negan's treasure house, she has confirmed that they are "Thousand Face Hunter", but the problem is that they are just simple specimens, without corresponding extraordinary characteristics, and without flowing blood.

She owed Mr. Fool's 2,000 pounds to be paid until February and March next year, because after she officially became an adult in the New Year dance, she still had to be supervised by her parents and could not be sold at will. Moreover, she still needed to pay Viscount Glylint's final payment, so she had to have enough time to raise it secretly.

"Magician" Fors finally got the "blood of the deep-sea marlin" with the help of "The Hanging Man", and paid the other party 320 pounds, and her savings were reduced to 120 pounds.

In order to make up for the loss and to "the stomach bag of the spirit eater", she began to rush to manuscript. The new book quickly took shape and told a story that integrates adventure, love, travel notes, storms, and pirates.

Her correspondence with Dorian Gray has not been interrupted, and the other party recently said that he would come to Beckland to pay homage to Anlisa, Lauborrow and Lawrence.

"Sun" Derrick acted without any abnormality according to the advice of "The Hanging Man", and continued to patrol daily, accumulate merits, and did not try any rituals.

Every time he gets a Tarot, he will skillfully pretend to sleep, without exposing any problems for the time being. He will usually sleep intermittently to avoid some things being routine and being suspected.

According to him, the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia did not leave the bottom of the round tower seven days later and is still locked up there for unknown reasons.

Mr. A of the "Aurora Society" searched for the believers and followers of the "fool" and his followers. While Klein deliberately kept a low profile, he failed to get any valuable clues. Those extraordinary people who knew the name of "fool" knew that they should not recite such things at will. Without the desperate situation, they would definitely not have the courage to pray to an existence suspected of an evil god.

"Emlin said last time that there were clues to the corresponding materials, and it might be confirmed soon, but the problem is that I don't have enough money now..." Klein muttered silently, carrying a cane, and walked to the door of lawyer Jurgen.

After ringing the doorbell, he took the initiative and instinctively took two steps back.

Not long after, the door opened, and Mrs. Doris opened her arms in a vigor and wanted to give Klein a warm hug.

"Oh, the doctor you introduced last time is so great! My body has not been so healthy in the past ten years!" Seeing that Mr. Detective stood far away, Doris could only put away his arms and instead expressed her joy and feelings in words.

Klein sighed with a funny and helplessness:

"Ms. Doris, you've said this for the ninth time."

He saw the black cat Brody squatting at the top of the hood rack behind, seemingly shaking, but he kept his balance.

I can do it too... Klein evaluated himself.

"Is that true?" Old Mrs. Doris asked back in confusion.

She immediately threw this question behind her head and said with a smile:

"Come to find Jurgen?"

Klein immediately smiled:

"Yes."
Chapter completed!
