Mystery: Start with the Reader

At noon, Klein enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the Kragg Club. Just when he had almost finished the food on the table, Talim Dumont led a man in a heavy overcoat and half top hat away. come over.

This is Mike, the reporter from the Daily Observer. He and Klein exchanged information with each other briefly under the introduction of Talim, and then got to the point.

It turned out that Detective Mike had also noticed the hidden pattern of serial murderers, and discovered a recent special case. He wanted to hire a detective as a bodyguard to investigate a brothel with a deep background.

For this, he is willing to pay 1 pound price... if there is a fight, 5 pounds will be given.

Klein didn't answer immediately, but smiled under Talim's surprised gaze:

"I'll wash my hands before I answer you."

He bowed politely, walked slowly to the bathroom, then tossed a coin, and got an affirmative answer.

On the way back to the cafeteria, Klein suddenly saw a young lady with a short bow and a long glove walking towards the stairs leading to the ground.

That short bow...it seems to be the "Fire Raven Shortbow" that was sold at the party of the old man "Eye of Wisdom"... and it was indeed bought by a lady wearing long gloves...

Just as Klein was thinking about the lady's back, Talim and Mike walked over together.

After following Klein's gaze, Reporter Mike shook his head and said in a low voice, "That's Councilor Macht's daughter, Miss Hazel. She's a girl with high vision..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then sighed: "Forget it, I seem to have said that to Detective Bryan last time, and it turned out..."

"What happened?" Talim asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that Miss Hazel was one of the people who saw Detective Braine off this morning." Reporter Mike didn't say much, after all, Abner is also his friend, and it's not good to talk about friends behind their backs.

also? That's right, at least Miss "Judgment" will definitely go to see "Tower" off... This "management" level is okay! While complaining secretly, Klein actually felt a little "admiration" for the "tower", a little "admiration" that he had only had for Roselle before.

...

Abner, who had no idea that he was "admired" by Mr. "Fool" in an alternative direction, had already arrived in Pritz Harbor. He first went to the "Pritz Harbor Ticketing Company" in the White Rose District of the port to buy a ticket. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for the boat ticket to Damir Port, and then I booked a room in a hotel outside the port area and put down my luggage.

Coincidentally, the ticket he bought this time still belonged to the "Wancheng Splendor" passenger ship, a new all-steam-powered ship built by Dixie Shipyard, which he and Xio had taken together.

But this time Abner didn't buy a first-class ticket. After all, he only had one person, so it would be a waste to live in such a large suite.

After packing up the luggage, and using the knowledge learned in "Origin Castle" in the morning, with the "blood-stained jewelry box" as the core, Abner was satisfied after simply arranging a "guardian ceremony" in the hotel room Nodding his head, he went out again.

Since it was still early, he planned to check out the Abraham family's stronghold here - Pritz Harbor Fisherman's Association.

In the original book, Forsi first got in touch with her teacher Dorian, this is here.

Abner didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to "borrow" one or two sealed items of the Abraham family to "analyze" and see if he could "learn" some practical abilities... such as "recording", or " flash".

As for "travel", he has actually asked Forsi to borrow her bracelet to analyze it - he didn't open the analysis of "Pure White Eye", but the principle is too complicated, and he can't learn it in a short time... Even in the future Barely "imitating", the effect will be very poor, and problems may occur during the "travel".

Abner breathed the smell of the sea in the air, all the way to the nearby White Oak Street.

The road is wider than many blocks in Backlund,

The air quality is also good, but it is relatively dirty... Abner recalled Rivers' evaluation of this place in the original book, and felt that it was very appropriate. He looked around and quickly found the place located in an old building. Fishermen's Association in the small building.

Because he didn't have the idea of ​​meeting the Abrahams directly, Abner simulated "psychological invisibility", easily entered the association, and saw a medium-sized man with exaggerated arms and combed hair in an office. A very neat gentleman, he is Dorian, the teacher of Rivers in the original book.

Although this gentleman is also a Sequence 7 "Astrologer" and there are spell traps in his office, he still failed to detect Abner's sneaking in.

Opening the "Pure White Eye" to search in the room, Abner's eyes finally stopped on a badge pinned to Dorian's coat,

The badge was in the shape of a circle, with six golden lines "radiating" outward from the center of the circle, dividing the entire badge into six irregular areas, each of which had a different color.

"It is an extraordinary item with the ability of 'Recorder', but it seems that it can only record six abilities...It is much worse than the public rental item of the Tarot Society in the future, 'Leymano's Travel Notes'..." Abner After secretly comparing it, he squatted in front of Dorian and "analyzed" the badge intently.

As an "astrologer", although Dorian couldn't detect Abner's existence, he always felt a little uneasy. He frowned, opened a dark cabinet with some doubts, and took out a crystal that was pure and shining brightly. ball.

Then he drew the curtains, made the office dark, and sat down.

He held the crystal ball in his left hand, touched the top with his right palm, stroked it back and forth, and kept whispering in his mouth, like a whisper.

Gradually, the dots of brilliance in the crystal ball became brighter and more obvious, as if the starry sky cast a reflection at night.

The stars that are often used to determine the direction of fate and the trajectory of life emerge one after another, forming a three-dimensional astrolabe, mixed with many spiritual revelations that seem to be symbols.

After a while, Dorian finally stopped, and said to himself in surprise:

"There is no danger approaching... It seems that there will be unexpected help in the future? 'You will pay for yourself'? What does this mean? The revelation is very vague..."

The light of the crystal ball gradually dimmed, and Dorian put it back in the dark cabinet, and sat back in his seat to think again.

On the other side, Abner had actually discovered that dark cabinet a long time ago, but the most valuable thing in it was the crystal ball, and he didn't like the rest of the items that were only equivalent to Sequence 8 and Sequence 9, so Only then will the attention be focused on the badge worn by Dorian.

He heard the other party's self-talk, and after "analyzing", he also devoted some time to interpreting:

Pay your own rewards? Is this referring to his future investment in Forsi? The unexpected help...was "the world" assassinating the traitors of the Abraham family? Well, of course, it may also mean that I will help Abraham in the future... After all, my behavior of collecting wool now is strictly speaking, they are "paying".

The revelations given by the spirit world are indeed very vague. They are not professional "magic sticks" such as "seers" and "astrologers", so it is difficult to interpret the meaning...

Shaking his head, Abner stopped thinking about other things, and concentrated on driving the "Pure White Eye" to analyze the badge.

About half an hour later, after initially analyzing the incomplete "record" ability, Abner quietly "opened the door" and left Dorian's office.

...

At the same time, Klein and Mike, the reporter, overheard a name named "Carpin" in the "Golden Rose" brothel, and then ran away to a nearby stagecoach stop.

After sending Mike away safely, Klein was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a middle-aged gentleman with blue eyes, thin face and gray temples.

"Hello, I'm Detective Essinger Stanton, who is assisting the police department in handling this case, can we have a chat?" The middle-aged man pointed to his carriage by the roadside and said with a smile.

"Detective Isengard Stanton? The teacher of 'Detective Heroes'?" Klein asked back in surprise. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since he was Mr. "Ta"'s apparent teacher, he shouldn't be a bad person.

Of course, on this point, I will have to confirm it through "divination" later.

"Hehe, since that kid became famous, people seem to call me from Detective Stanton to the teacher of 'Detective Heroes'... This is really true." Detective Essinger was laughing at himself, but his tone There was a hint of pride in it.

Klein was a little speechless, but considering that the other party was the teacher of "Tower", he was probably also an illegal person, so he cautiously agreed to the other party's request to talk, and informed the other party of the name "Kapin" that he had overheard. the other side.

Detective Stanton was very satisfied with his cooperation, and after finding out his name was "Sherlock Moriarty", he gave him 2 pounds for information, and politely sent him off the carriage this time.

After arriving at a place where no one was paying attention, Klein first did a divination, and after getting the result that the other party was not malicious, he muttered silently:

"There is something wrong with Detective Essinger Stanton. Ever since I opened my Spirit Vision, he has always maintained the blue color of rational thinking and indifference and alienation, and the purple color where spirituality dominates, and few other emotional colors emerge.

"For normal people, unless they are concentrating on studying difficult problems, it is difficult to maintain a similar state for too long, and other emotional colors will inevitably appear. The difference is how long they stay.

"And this state is very similar to the 'tower' that came above the gray mist for the first time... The 'tower' at that time was also the 'blue' that maintained its sanity the whole time...

"The ability of the same extraordinary path? Detective Essinger is also an extraordinary person of the 'reader' path?

"But what happened to the 'happy' mood in each Tarot meeting of 'Tower' afterwards?"

...

Wednesday, October 3, at 9:00 am.

Abner, who was carrying a suitcase and a piano case on his back, boarded the passenger ship "Wancheng Splendor" on time.
