Mystery: Start with the Reader

Scam? Miss, why do you want to ask me this? Do I look that much like a liar? Even if I took the surname "Moriarty", it should be a "high IQ" crime!

Well, "fraud" seems to be a high IQ crime...

After laughing at himself a few words in his heart, Klein formally thought about Hazel's question, thinking that the other party might ask him, a "detective" who is also a Extraordinary, in order to get inspiration... After all, she is alone Ms. Fu, how do you know about this?

However, is this lady the Sequence 8 "Trickster" that the "Thief" passed by? I don't know where she got the formula, and do you know where there are magical items that can steal extraordinary abilities...

As his thoughts raced, Klein considered his words and asked, "Miss Macht... what type of 'fraud' do you want to know about?"

In his previous life, information was developed. Although he didn't actually see much, Klein knew a lot about various fraudulent methods.

"Detective Moriarty, you can just call me Hazel..." Hazel pursed her lower lips, widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Are there many types of fraud?"

"Okay, but according to the principle of reciprocity, you have to call me Sherlock." Klein took the opportunity and replied with a smile, "Of course there are many kinds, for ordinary people, for the middle class, for the rich, for the nobles, There are different ways and means..."

"It's so complicated... Can you give me a few specific examples?" Hazel suddenly remembered something after asking this question, and hurriedly took out five 10-pound banknotes from her wallet, and added, "This is for you your reward."

Although I only took out 50 pounds, although it is not comparable to Miss "Justice", she is indeed worthy of being a rich lady... Klein secretly sighed a few words, but did not take the money, but shook his head with a smile and said: "Hazel, Those cases are not worth 50 pounds... and I also want to ask you one thing, so I just offset it, what do you think?"

Hazel thought for a while, but didn't take back the money immediately. She raised her head slightly, glanced at her eyes and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know where there are magical items that can 'steal' extraordinary abilities?" Klein asked the question he had already prepared.

With the endorsement of Detective Isengard Stanton, an Extraordinary who has maintained a relatively good relationship with the police department and official organizations, he is currently considered a peripheral member of the official. Even if he is found to be an Extraordinary, he will not be arrested. Grab it, that's why Klein dared to reveal some secrets in front of Hazel... For example, he has a certain understanding of the "thief" path and knows the "acting method", so he can guess her sequence in the first place .

Sure enough, Hazel took a deep look at him,

But wisely, he didn't expose it, but responded calmly: "I had one before...but it was taken away by the Church of Storms...now it's the sealed item '2-78'."

Taken by the Church of the Storm? Does the Mother Earth Church care? Klein was a little surprised. Although he had heard about the dance at the "Daily Observer" headquarters building in the Tarot Club, and heard that the Nighthawks were tricked by a demigod of the "Thief" path, he didn't tell them. Get in touch with the pastor of the Mother Earth Church in front of you.

Hazel could guess part of Mr. Detective's thoughts, but she didn't intend to tell the other party what happened to her in the past, but after thinking about it, she handed over the gold pound again and said: "Since you can't solve your problem, You still have to take the money first... In addition, I also want to hire you to take me to watch the process of 'fraud' up close."

Klein was not pretentious this time. After collecting the five banknotes with the portraits of King William I, the "Founder" and "Protector", he cleared his throat and talked about what he saw in the rule of law program, news, and the Internet various methods of fraud.

In the end, he also focused on the case of Lanwusi in Tingen who used false information to start a steel company to defraud 10,000 pounds...Of course, he skipped the extraordinary part.

These cases made Hazel, who has been well protected by her parents, amazed. She couldn't imagine that there are so many tricks to deceive people, and Detective Sherlock is indeed a well-known detective recently. The 50 pounds she spent Well worth it.

After talking about the cases that might not have been developed yet, Klein paused, and then said, "If you want to watch a fraud, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few days... I need to find a suitable target..."

Well, let Miss Hazel directly arrest her after watching it, she has the right to do good deeds.

Hearing this, Hazel recovered from her thoughts, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news... You can see me every day when you come to the Harvest Church at this time."

After talking about Hazel, Klein walked from a remote place to Emlyn who was cleaning the lampstand after saying goodbye to her. Glancing at him sideways, without disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the prayer hall, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked with a low laugh:

"Is there one of the dukes of your blood race named Rhine Calendia?"

Emlyn was a little surprised when he heard the words, and asked back: "How do you know? That His Highness died in the middle of the Fourth Epoch..."

"Can you tell me about him?" As he spoke, Klein took out a palm-sized box from his pocket, which contained a very delicate doll.

Ever since he read the diary about "Liu Bo", he wanted to get some information from Emlyn. He didn't take action before, because he didn't find an opportunity, and secondly, he didn't make Emlyn "talkative". props.

And this doll was bought with the help of Talim last week, and it cost a lot of money.

"This... This is the work of Master Serena! You can actually get it!" Emlyn's eyes lit up immediately, eager to rush forward.

At this moment, Klein closed the lid of the box and looked at the other party with a smile.

Emlyn came to his senses immediately. After deliberating for a while, he said, "The matter about that lord duke is not a secret, and it's not impossible to tell you...but you have to swear not to spread it."

"Yes." Klein nodded, and swore an oath to the "God of Steam and Machinery" he "believes in".

Seeing this, Emlyn organized his speech and said: "That His Royal Highness is actually outside the blood race, but it is said that he has been favored by the ancestors, and he can often receive oracles... This made Her Majesty the Queen and several dukes at that time very angry. very jealous...

"His Royal Highness calls himself the 'Silver-Eyed Observer', and he likes to support young people... However, he did not support the 'Emperor of the Night' in the 'Battle of the Four Emperors', but instead got closer to Solomon's 'Dark Emperor' .

"He left a book of mysticism called "The Feast of Blood", which is currently in the treasure house of the clan.

"However, the first half of this book is very normal, but the second half is written in a special language, and no one has been able to translate it so far."

"Blood Feast"? It turns out that this book was written by Liu Bo... Did Mr. "Ta" really know a certain girl from the Blood Race, so he borrowed the first half? However, if the bottom half is written in special characters...

"Is it Roselvin?" Klein tried to ask.

Emlyn looked at him like a fool and said, "How is it possible? Roselle was a person more than a hundred years ago, and that Highness died in the middle of the Quaternary Epoch... How could he know Roselle? ?”

It's not... Then what words did Liu Bo use? English? Japanese? Martian?

While guessing in his heart, Klein handed the box to Emlyn according to the agreement.

The red-eyed vampire's eyes immediately became brighter, and he hugged him fondly.

Seeing his unpretentious, genuine temperament, Klein chuckled and asked in a low voice:

"Lack of money?"

As soon as he said this, he felt as if he was asking the other party if he knew Amway.

Emlyn, who kept the doll close to him, was a little stunned at first, and then sneered and said:

"Don't insult the noble blood race with money!"

Klein snorted immediately, looked at the tall and burly Father Utravsky in front of him, and said casually:

"As far as I know, exquisitely handcrafted dolls are not cheap, and can even be called expensive, especially the ones that are as tall as people."

"..." Emlyn opened his mouth, trying to refute, but in the end he couldn't speak.

After a while of silence, he coughed twice, pretending not to care, and said:

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? I'm not a vampire who likes to guess riddles."

Klein didn't look at the vampire beside him. Instead, he talked to himself and said the materials he needed, such as the mutated pituitary gland in the hunter's brain.

However, he deliberately reported more auxiliary materials to avoid loss.

Hearing this completely unstumbling description, Emlyn White suddenly felt like he had fallen into the language trap of the other party.

He calmed down and said:

"The remuneration for extraordinary materials is at least 100 pounds, and auxiliary materials are at least 10 pounds. Although I don't know what level the things you want are, I believe they will definitely not be cheap, nor will they be common, otherwise you would not be able to come to me help."

Very smart... Klein smiled and said:

"make a deal!"

At this moment, Emlyn deeply suspected that the reward he asked for was too little.

Just when Klein wanted to ask if the second half of "A Feast of Blood" could be borrowed, and about Viscount Karen's information, he heard layer upon layer of illusory pleading voices.

Listening to the sound, it should come from the "tower".
