After Mr. Melas left, Klein began to browse the information left by the other party. Although it may involve Mr. Devil, he thought of his savings of less than a hundred pounds, the cost of living in Backlund, and the attractive ten pounds reward.
, Klein still chose to accept the commission.
If he really discovered something, the most Klein could do was remind the other party. After all, Backlund, a well-known socialite, had not been beaten to death by those noble gentlemen. He must have rich experience in dealing with this.
With this idea in mind, Klein read more carefully, and as the words passed by his eyes, Klein discovered that Mr. Melas was not the little nobleman he thought about.
To be precise, the other party should be considered a small businessman who is trying to cross the threshold of the nobility.
Although it is not stated clearly in the information, from his wife's information, Klein can almost see the image of a businessman who is trying his best to squeeze into the upper class society.
His wife is the daughter of a baronet, and there are no other siblings in the family. If nothing happens, when his father-in-law dies, his wife will naturally inherit the title.
Don't underestimate it. It's just a baron with almost no actual benefits, but it is a stepping stone to join the Loen noble circle. According to the rumors that Klein heard in the university and the recent information he got from the newspaper, he believes this.
The gentleman must have paid a considerable sum of money for this marriage.
"Generally speaking, in this kind of money and power transaction, both parties should not care about the other party's private life..." Klein thought of the novels and movies he had read in his "previous life" and felt a little strange.
It’s not that he was suspicious, it was actually the psychological shadow that Ince Zangwill left on him.
After thinking for a while, Klein took four steps backwards, came to the top of the gray fog, manifested a pen and paper and a pendulum, and began to write divination sentences——
"It is dangerous to investigate Mrs. Melas. It is dangerous to investigate Mrs. Melas..."
After repeating the chant seven times, Klein slowly opened his eyes and saw the pendulum in his hand slowly rotating clockwise.
"There is danger, but not high... This is normal." Klein relaxed slightly and wrote a new divination sentence:
"Mrs. Melas did not cheat, Mrs. Melas did not cheat..."
But this time, the pendulum didn't move at all, which meant that the information was not enough.
"Sure enough, there is no way to take advantage of it." Klein shook his head, thought for a moment, picked up the pen again, and wrote down the divination sentence for the third game:
"The investigation of Mrs. Melas will involve extraordinary events. The investigation..."
It was still the pendulum method repeated seven times, and the pendulum began to rotate as he silently chanted.
"Clockwise? It involves extraordinary? But the previous feedback is that the danger is not great!" Klein looked at the clockwise rotating pendulum. He always felt that there was something wrong with his pendulum, but thinking that this was above the gray fog,
He could only try his best to interpret what the divination results meant.
"It involves extraordinary power, but the danger is very small. This should mean that the Extraordinary sequence involved should not be high... No, not necessarily. I am only Sequence 8 myself. Even if it involves a low-sequence Extraordinary, it should not
That's all...
Well, maybe it’s because that extraordinary person knows me, so he doesn’t mean to hurt me… So it makes Mr. Devil’s suspicion even greater!”
Klein complained in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed this thought. In divination, the idea of suspecting neighbors and stealing axes is the last thing you should have, because once you have a prejudice in your heart, all divination hints will become
An excuse to explain one's own thoughts.
Gently patting his cheek, Klein allowed himself to temporarily forget about Mr. Devil and his morning service, and re-examined this commission.
First of all, Mr. Melas must be hiding something, otherwise all he has to do is wait for his father-in-law to die. There is no need to investigate this extraneous matter, which is insignificant compared to the interests, and may even cause him to lose both power and wealth.
extramarital affair.
Secondly, to what extent does this involve extraordinary power?
The pendulum does not rotate very fast. According to past experience, it should be one or two low-sequence Beyonders, or a sealed object, magical item, etc. There are many possibilities here.
For example, a person who accidentally obtained an extraordinary item used hypnosis or other abilities to confuse Mrs. Melas. This undoubtedly involves extraordinary power, but its danger is actually no greater than an ordinary extramarital affair investigation.
"As expected, divination can only be used as a reference..." Klein lamented the limitations of divination again, and braced himself to continue thinking.
Then, he summarized a new divination statement——
"This commission is aimed at me."
Probably because this divination involved himself, the pendulum spun quickly, but Klein still recited it silently seven times before opening his eyes.
To his relief, this time, the pendulum did not continue to rotate clockwise.
"It's not about me. Is it just a chance to find me? Accidental..." Klein thought of this word and his head started to hurt again. He was really a little nervous about chance and coincidence, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to investigate.
.
As the saying goes, "If you don't step on it, the pit will always be there." Even if this "coincidence" is really the kind of "coincidence" you think, if you ignore it, you will only usher in more "coincidences". It's better to
Just go and take a look and let yourself enter the script as a supporting role. This will also make it easier for you to use the characters above the gray fog for further divination.
Even if you can't find the real culprit behind the scenes, you can at least see a house or a hand like before.
Having made up his mind, Klein visualized the falling feeling as he returned to reality, and once again picked up the information left by Mr. Melas.
After having doubts in my mind, the content of this information also became suspicious. The first thing to say is that it is too comprehensive.
If it is just to investigate cheating, it is enough to have the address, photos, habits and itinerary, and at most some details such as social circle.
But this file, including Mrs. Melas's father's title, political leanings, financial status, etc., has been clearly investigated. From this look, it is more like a commission from a political opponent to dig up dirt on the opponent's daughter - if it weren't for the other party
Without preparing the lady's underwear, Klein would have doubted whether the other party knew that he was a fortune teller!
"Of course, it's also possible that this information was originally collected by Mr. Melas when he was searching for a suitable springboard when he was preparing to enter Backlund's upper class society. This time it's just a reuse of waste."
Klein comforted himself, put on a pair of cheap clothes that would not hurt even if they got dirty, and prepared to go out. Although he knew that this matter might not be that simple, he still decided to take it seriously. After all, the ten-pound commission was already
