Chapter 454 Commission
"This is called being edible..."
When Klein was checking out, his vision went dark and he almost lost his balance.
When Tao Yu took him to a high-end restaurant, he already felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Then when he saw Tao Yu ordering dishes without even a hint of proficiency on the menu, and stuffing some expensive-sounding items into his mouth, Klein felt a little dizzy.
The food is obviously delicious, but it's like chewing wax.
"I also know a few good places. I'll take you there next time."
Tao Yu was in a happy mood after eating the delicious food, but Klein wanted to cry, but the 'clown' could control his expression well.
He even felt that his 'Joker' potion had been digested a lot!
Although this seemed to be a good thing, Klein was not happy at all.
Your gold pound didn’t disappear, it just turned into a clown to accompany you...
Seeing Tao Yu's skillful ordering and the waiter's acquaintance, Klein also knew that the other party seemed to be a regular customer here and was not intending to prey on him.
But it only made him feel even more ridiculous. It was clear that the other party was saying that he was treating him at first, and he was acting like a gentleman. Seeing how he could eat so well, it didn't look like he needed comfort at all!
Uh, is it turning grief and anger into appetite?
Thinking of this, Klein sighed again, forget it, people have suffered such huge losses, what’s wrong with having a good meal...
After the meal, the two took a carriage back to Minsk Street, and Klein still paid the fare.
"Good night, I have to prepare new potions next and have to digest them."
"Me too, I still don't have a clue."
Klein looked at Tao Yu's beautiful face and couldn't help but sigh. The opponent was at least Sequence 7 and had already entered the mid-Sequence.
And I am only sequence eight.
But he didn't envy that kind of Sequence Seven.
When they were saying goodbye at the intersection, they both paused because a figure was lingering in front of Klein's house.
Klein also recognized it. This was a young man he had met when he first came to Backlund. The boy seemed to be involved in some trouble.
He doesn't like trouble, but he is even more in need of money. Even if a commission comes to him a little late, he can't turn him away
"I have a business."
"Just taking a look, I also want to see how detectives work. Do they rely on divination?"
Tao Yu knew that Klein was good at divination, and the thought of using this as a detective felt a bit funny for some reason.
"Well, look what he's trying to do, he seems to be in trouble."
The two men suddenly appeared behind the young man. They seemed startled when he turned around, and then they were ready to attack in a hurry, directly attacking the lower third road.
But Tao Yu held him down with one hand. "If you move again, I will break your legs."
Tao Yu spoke in a nonchalant tone, which made Klein next to him feel a little subtle.
Hey hey, why do you say it so naturally?
Why do you feel like you really know how to interrupt? What did you do before?
Although Tao Yu's tone was calm, it sounded threatening to Ian's ears, which inexplicably made him feel cold, as if the phantom pain of a broken bone had begun to appear in his leg.
He raised his head and glanced at this beautiful big brother, but he also said nothing.
"I'm here to see Detective Sherlock."
He doesn't know now whether he is here to catch him or the owner of this house.
"I'm the one we met."
Klein spoke at this moment. He had seen him being chased on the subway before.
"Let's talk after we go inside."
"Okay, I'm sorry for my previous behavior. I thought you were the one who caught me."
The big boy breathed a sigh of relief, and Tao Yu also released her hand from holding him.
Entering Klein's house and arriving at the long sofa in the reception area, the eldest boy introduced himself
"My name is Ian. I was previously employed by another detective named Zerrell Victor Lee. I am mainly responsible for collecting some intelligence..."
The two of them did not interrupt and listened quietly.
"Mr. Zerrell disappeared, but when I went to commission other detectives he was familiar with, they all said they had seen him at a banquet, so they rejected my commission."
"Maybe he's not missing, he just doesn't want to see you."
Tao Yu looked indifferent, this must be too much of a fuss.
"I used our code word to contact him, but there was still no news. I think he may have been held hostage by others, or for other reasons, so I want to entrust you to investigate."
Ian regarded Tao Yu as Klein's detective assistant.
Now that he has recovered, he has gradually regained his shrewdness, as if he has received special training, showing a maturity that is not belonging to his age group.
"Seems tricky."
"So I just need to confirm his status. No rescue is needed."
If that's the case, it's much simpler.
"Then how much do you plan to pay?"
Klein asked the key question. He was in urgent need of blood.
Ian seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then proposed two plans.
"First, I will pay you a sufficient amount directly, but no matter how difficult it is in the future, it will only be this amount.
"Second, I pay five pounds in advance, and then the balance depends on the difficulty."
Hearing this, Tao Yu and Klein looked at each other.
Yes, the other party probably has no money, and may only have five pounds in his body.
Klein, who was still in urgent need of money, found a suitable way and said, "You can choose to pay me five pounds first, but in the future you need to help me complete three things, or ask for some information."
Klein still recognized Ian's ability. This guy should have a lot of intelligence sources.
"good."
Ian also relaxed a little. He knew that his financial difficulties might have been seen, but there was nothing he could do.
Then he took out a dozen thick banknotes from his pocket. Although the banknotes were thick, most of them were suler.
The largest denomination was one gold pound, and there were only three of them. Then he used the change to collect the remaining two gold pounds, which directly reduced the dozen banknotes by more than half.
Watching Ian leave, Tao Yu also waved to Klein
"It's an interesting detective game. If you have any trouble, you can ask me for help. Good night."
"Good night……"
…
Tao Yu didn't go to find Klein the next day, and he didn't want to help him from the beginning. Instead, he went to find the salted fish writers and others, and asked if there was any association of mystery enthusiasts here, or anyone who could tell fortunes and set up stalls. place.
I want to go to those places and see if I can digest the witch's potion by playing the mystery.
At the same time, he was also thinking about continuing to find Eve after a while, continuing to instigate her to leave the Witch Church, and then see if there were any channels for the follow-up potions.
"Yes, but some clubs have access mechanisms."
Tao Yu took out twenty gold pounds
"Can you help me get it done?"
"able!"
Forsi also felt a little strange. This gentleman's pocket was very rich.
But she likes to make friends like this...
…
After Forsi became an apprentice, he gradually integrated into the extraordinary world and found some gatherings.
So I do know a lot about those secret clubs between ordinary people and extraordinary people.
"Is your mental state getting worse? I think there is no need to drive yourself crazy while rushing to finish the manuscript. What should you do if you lose control?"
Tao Yu and Forsi, who had dark circles under his eyes, took a carriage to the door of a club. Looking at Forsi who was about to fall asleep in the carriage, he slapped her face to wake her up and said something strange. .
"Don't mention it, I hear strange whispers every time the moon is full, and it's annoying me to death."
Forsi said with a loud voice.
Xio also knew this, but he didn't know how serious it was. Forsi could actually tolerate it before.
But since the last time I used the traveler trait to run away, it has become more and more troublesome.
She has used it three times in total so far, and her headaches get worse every time she uses it. She doesn't know how long she can resist.
"The full moon whispers?"
Tao Yu was a little weird and thought of what she heard at the beginning when she looked at the moon.
It seemed to be Mr. Men’s whisper.
Is he an extraordinary person who can influence the same path?
What a high status!
“Crazy gods?”
Tao Yu subconsciously thought so.
At this time, Forsi also brought Tao Yu to a club in the North District of Backlund.
The North District has St. Samuel's Church, the headquarters of the Church of the Night in Backlund.
It is also a wealthy area, and many devout believers of the Church of the Night will choose this place.
As a non-staff member of the Church of the Night, Tao Yu felt that it was a good fit and followed Forsi upstairs.
Forsi seems to still have some reputation here. Many people have greeted her, saying she hasn't been here for a long time, and asking when her next book will be released.
Whether it is her identity as a writer or some mysterious knowledge she possesses, she is very popular here.
"This is my newly introduced friend, Mr. Foco Souci."
"Oh, Mr. Foco turns out to be a man. Sorry, I was a bit presumptuous. I meant you are very handsome."
"Hehe, he's too handsome."
"..."
In this club called 'Occult Explorers', there are obviously more female members. Suddenly such a handsome male member came, and there was a buzz around him.
In fact, when the number of women is large enough, their courage will also be much greater.
Tao Yu is also experiencing the situation at the scene. There are many young ladies here who like mysterious things, including businessmen, scholars and even the children of nobles.
Many people will wear robes here and even hold crystal balls, giving it a mysterious atmosphere.
However, Tao Yu didn't feel much extraordinary aura.
Well, besides Forsi, there is another person who makes Tao Yu feel something.
A little beauty with long dark green wavy hair. She is very beautiful, but her expression is a bit arrogant, giving the impression that the people next to her are just mortals.
The eldest lady who has initially become an extraordinary person?
Tao Yu thought that the other party might be similar to Miss Justice, but the arrogance shown on the surface did not have the temperament cultivated in Miss Justice.
This is probably the difference between big nobles and small nobles...
