Mystery: Start with the Reader

Just as Klein was complaining secretly, the reporter Mike on the side asked directly with a strange expression:

"Talim, why did you hire Sherlock to have a private meeting with a lady at night? Could it be that you have some special hobby?"

Talim glanced back at him, and said angrily, "We've known each other for so long, when have you ever seen me have a similar hobby?"

"That's not sure, maybe you just discovered it recently..." Mike shrugged, but he didn't continue joking. The same goes for friends.

Therefore, he turned to ask: "Is it the relationship problem you consulted for your 'friend' before?"

When Talim asked Klein a few weeks ago, Mike happened to listen.

Hearing this, Klein also refocused his attention, because he had already guessed that the friend Talim mentioned should be Prince Edesak, and the so-called "emotional" issue may involve two " Witch".

But... I seem to have considered using the connection between "Shoko" and "The Fool" to learn more about this matter... But why haven't I thought about it? Although I'm really busy lately...

Klein felt slightly alert, because he experienced a similar situation once in Tingen.

Hearing Mike's question, Talim shook his head and said:

"That emotional dispute is actually over... This incident can only be regarded as the aftermath.

"Well, it's not really a serious matter, it's because I thought too much at the time.

"To put it simply, a young gentleman with a prominent status fell in love with a commoner woman. You know, a man of similar status must marry a noble lady. Heh, for him, even the daughter of a rich man is not acceptable.

"For the sake of the young gentleman's future, I once thought about asking Sherlock to find someone with some magical abilities, secretly, hehe, in short, I am a law-abiding person, and I only think about it in my head."

In other words, a witch confuses the prince and wants him to marry her? And another witch is desperately trying to stop this? This is a bit bloody...but it's solved? How did you solve it? Have you reported it to the authorities?

Thinking of this, Klein was about to ask for details, but reporter Mike, who was very interested in the matter, asked first, "How did the matter get resolved?"

Talim thought for a while and replied:

"The solution was simpler than I thought, I went straight to the lady and told her the plight, and she sensibly expressed her willingness to leave the gentleman and asked me for help.

"I have to say, she is really a considerate, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl. If I don't consider my status, maybe I would kneel in front of her and kiss the back of her hand."

The charm of the witch... But since she is so talkative, how could she seduce the prince? Klein picked up a cup of black tea, took a sip and asked:

"Which lady are you going to meet tonight? Has something to do with this matter?" It can't be that "witch" Lina, right? No, it should be more accurate to be called "Pleasure Witch" Lina now.

"You know the lady Sherlock I'm going to meet... that is, the one who came to the club that day..." Talim glanced at Mike who was listening to gossip, gritted his teeth and continued,

"She's very skilled...much better than I am...I'm afraid she'll take it out on me after telling her what the young gentleman told her...

"In terms of skill, apart from Detective Bryan, among the people I know, you are the strongest, Sherlock."

It's really Lina... Besides, you think highly of me, and I can't stand enough to meet a "Happy Witch" head-on!

After complaining a few words in his heart, Klein made some guesses, and asked directly: "This lady you are going to meet also likes your prominent friend? Are you rejecting her on behalf of your friend?"

"As expected of a great detective... You guessed it right! The lady and my friend should have known each other since childhood and have a very good relationship... But it seems that there was a lot of trouble in this matter, and my friend avoided it from the beginning. She didn't want to see her anymore..." Talim said helplessly with a sigh.

"Your friend is not very authentic in this matter... Even if you want to reject a lady, you have to speak up in person... What's the point of asking someone to pass the word?" Reporter Mike frowned.

Talim shrugged his shoulders following Mike's example. He actually didn't know what the relationship between the two was, so he was afraid that Ms. Lina would hurt himself impulsively.

"Then why did you make the appointment in the middle of the night?" Klein asked again.

"I don't know... It was the lady who sent the invitation. I reported it to my distinguished friend, and then he gave me the task."

At this point, Talim felt that he had spoken too much, and hurriedly put aside his babble, and asked instead, "Sherlock, are you willing to accept my commission? I can pay you 5 pounds..."

£5... what an unlucky number. Klein smiled politely, then stood up and said, "Sorry, my stomach is not feeling well, I want to go to the bathroom first...

"I'll give you an answer when I get back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the restaurant." Talim nodded.

In the bathroom, Klein went above the gray mist, manifested a pendulum, and silently recited the divination sentence:

"It's dangerous to follow Talim to an appointment tonight."

After seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant spinning clockwise, and the speed was very fast!

There is danger, and the danger is great!

It stands to reason that even if Lina was promoted to Sequence 6, she wouldn't be able to pose such a big threat to me... After all, even the previous battle with the Rose School of Thought wasn't as volatile as this time...

Well, either Lina has a very powerful item on her body, and she is very hostile to me, so she doesn't hesitate to use her cards... or the danger does not come from Lina, but someone else.

And the latter is more likely!

After thinking for a while, Klein silently recited the divination statement again:

"The danger comes from Lina."

This time, the pendant turned counterclockwise.

Sure enough, the danger came from someone else...who could it be?

The prince suddenly fell in love with a witch, and another witch who had known the prince since childhood wanted to stop him, but the prince kept avoiding him deliberately...

I used to want to know what "Lina" did through the connection between "The Fool" and "Shoko", but I always forgot... well, it must be because I've been busy recently, so I really didn't remember it. After all, Above the "grey fog" should be able to shield this kind of influence... But when I was not above the gray fog, I didn't think about it once, which is very abnormal!

This ability to "interfere" in behavior...will it be "0-08"?

Lina was in the sight of "0-08"...and she knew Klein! So, if I accompany Talim to find her tonight, it is possible that she will see through her identity, and then "0-08" and Ince will know that the Tingen Nighthawk who should have died long ago is still alive?

This is where the danger comes from?

Well, so to speak, if I agree to Talim, it will be more likely to harm him...

Thinking of this, Klein performed divination again, and got the result that if he didn't follow, Talim wasn't in too much danger tonight.

Seeing this, Klein had a decision in his mind, but he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said to himself:

"Although it's just my guess, if this matter is really the work of '0-08', then it should be Prince Edesak who planned it. Therefore, the people related to the prince must be in the '0-08' Within sight... Talim will be no exception!

"And I must have been 'known' by '0-08' again because of my contact with Talim...

"Of course, 'Sherlock' is just a small person, not deeply involved in this matter, and Ince may not notice it, nor can he notice so many people coming... But once I really make a change, such as reporting or The investigation will inevitably be discovered... It is difficult not to say that it is successful, and it is very likely to be "arranged" to die...

"As for reporting through the Tarot Society... Ms. 'Magician' doesn't have a good way out, and Ms. 'Justice' currently doesn't have a suitable excuse to explain the source of the information... What's more, I don't have evidence, and I don't know what Ince is doing. Whereabouts, let them report rashly, it will only bring them danger!

"And the only Miss Judgment who has the ability and the excuse to investigate, left Backlund just at this time...

"This is really...

"Forget it, I can't think about it any more. After all, whether '0-08' is playing tricks has yet to be verified!"

Sighing, Klein made the embodied pendulum disappear, then simulated the feeling of falling back to reality, and quickly returned to the club's restaurant, apologizing to Talim:

"I'm sorry, Talim. I thought about it carefully, and it's not appropriate to go with you... After all, it involves your friend's privacy... And, it's not appropriate for the two of us to meet a lady at night ... I advise you to make another appointment as well."

Talim seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not disappointed. He just sighed: "No need to apologize... I didn't think twice... Hey, I just don't want to face such an embarrassing situation alone..."

"I believe that lady won't make things difficult for you." Although Klein's words were comforting, they were also his true thoughts.

After all, that Ms. Lina probably noticed something.

However, Klein still decided to monitor the meeting remotely through his "close" contact with Xiao Ke in the middle of the night, lest Talim would really be in danger.

...

In Bayam, Abner took the disguised Elaine along the streets of the night market to taste delicious food, buy special commodities, and shop after store, and they arrived near the "Red Theater" before they knew it.

The "Red Theater" is the most famous brothel on the sea, and countless pirates come here for it. Even if one or two of their colleagues are caught there every once in a while, it doesn't stop them from continuing to work.

Seeing the signboard, Elaine looked at Abner strangely, took a step back and asked, "What are you doing here?"

She didn't think that Abner really brought her to the brothel for entertainment... It's just that after getting along with her for a while, she got to know some of the bad tastes of this "heroic detective", and she was afraid that he would come up with something to play tricks on her.

Abner didn't answer, and went straight to the opposite alley, and stopped at the door of an unsigned herbal medicine shop.
