Chapter 367: Klein's New Commission

Klein and Xio know my "true" identity, they have always been deeply impressed by my "erudition", and have long contributed to my "erudite" potion digestion, so this "feedback" will not from them.

The "sun" is in a land abandoned by the gods, and it is impossible to find out that "Doctor Strange" appeared in the "serial killer incident" in Tingen through the loopholes I deliberately left in the Tarot meeting.

Therefore, only Audrey and Alger are the most likely... Hehe, if it is the latter, he must have figured out the meaning of what I said when I left the "Blue Avenger".

Thinking of this, the corners of Abner's mouth curled up slightly, and his mood became cheerful. This is not only associated with the "interesting" expression Mr. "The Hanged Man" may show, but also happy for the success of his "experiment".

After all, in this way, every time the "Tarot Club" is over, it can bring him a valuable performance "feedback"... Although the effect is still not as good as expected, "no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat"!

However, for the role of "Erudite", Abner still focuses on the identity of "Doctor Strange", and has a preliminary plan... "After teaching this secret technique that she developed by herself to herself.

While Abner was thinking, Mr. Gaston. Miss Gwen and others also disembarked, and the sailors on the "Alenheim" rushed to the taverns and brothels in the town, shoulder to shoulder.

It can be predicted that the reputation and deeds of Miss Gwen "Ms. Longwei" will soon spread in Damir.

As for another more important event, such as the news that the five squadrons of the "Undead King" suffered heavy losses, and even three fleet commanders died, I am afraid that it will take a while before it really spreads... "Pirate King", before there is no definite news, not many people really dare to "gossip" blatantly.

...

Backlund, Minsk Street, Klein put down the scissors, looked at the three crude paper figures he had cut out in front of him, and sighed helplessly, but folded them anyway, hid them in a stack of sticky notes, and put them in Put it in your pocket - no matter how ugly it is, it will not affect the use and cannot be wasted.

Just as he was about to go out to the nearest circus to watch the show, looking for ideas for the performance of "The Magician", the doorbell was suddenly rang, and the sound of jingle jingle reverberated pleasantly.

"Consignment? The advertisement I published should be discontinued soon..." Klein, wearing a shirt with a straight neckline and a thin and warm sweater, came to the door and held the handle.

At the same time, the image of the visitor naturally appeared in his mind:

It was a man in his thirties, with a strong body, and the muscles in his arms were very tight, which made people feel that Kong Wu was powerful.

Wearing a blue worker's uniform, the expression on his face is mainly worried and anxious. He doesn't look like someone from a gangster or some kind of secret organization... He should be a skilled worker or dock manager with a decent income.

Klein muttered, and opened the door without any warning reaction from his own inspiration.

"Good afternoon. Excuse me. Are you Detective Moriarty?" The muscular man asked after greeting him politely.

Sure enough, he didn't come here to ask for trouble... So it's really... a client?

While guessing in his heart, Klein nodded with a smile and said, "Good afternoon, I'm Sherlock Moriarty, do you have anything to entrust to me?"

"Yes, Mr. Detective." The man in the blue uniform forced a smile, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Thomas Corson, and I am the vice president of the Bayam Dockyard Union. I would like to entrust you with a something..."

There are many piers in Backlund, most of them are classified into the dock area and named as various "docks".

Klein felt that talking at the door was not the way to entertain guests, so he interrupted the other person, and walked out of the way with a smile: "Please come in."

Thomas also reacted, and entered inside a little cautiously,

Carefully sat down on the sofa, with a very respectful posture.

This person seems a little unconfident... He looks so strong, but his character seems inferior...

With that in mind, Klein took out a copper penny, skillfully rolled and twirled it on his fingertips, and asked at the same time, "What is it specifically?"

Thomas's face was a little tangled, and he sighed after a long while, summoning up his courage and saying:

"I would like to ask you to investigate a strange thing...that is why my wife proposed to divorce me without any warning...Even if she will return to a relatively embarrassing life because of this, she still refuses to give up this idea... ..."

This... It's not that you have a problem, it's that she has found a new home, right? Could it be another mission to catch rape? It's a pity that there is no Miss "Bodyguard" to suppress the flash of the camera this time...Of course, considering the wealth of this Mr. Thomas, he is probably reluctant to provide the camera.

After making some complaints inside, Klein asked in an unhurried manner on the surface: "Please forgive me, is it because some of your own actions have misunderstood your wife? For example, having an intimate relationship with a certain lady ?”

"No... I have to arrange for workers to pick up jobs every day. From morning till night, I don't have the time or energy... What's more, with my working environment, I have no chance to meet the lady." Thomas said with affirmation.

"Then why does your wife want to divorce you?" Klein frowned and asked.

Hearing this, Thomas was silent for two seconds, and said with difficulty:

"She said that I always vented my anger on her. Not only did I have a bad attitude, but I also always hit her when I was in a bad mood, and forced her when she didn't want to...that..."

Sir, if this is the case, then I sincerely hope that your wife will divorce you as soon as possible. As an outsider, I think you are too much... Klein's expression remained unchanged, but he no longer wanted to take over this commission in his heart.

Thomas on the other side seemed to be in a certain mood at the moment, and continued as if to vent:

"I admit that what she said is true. I was the one who vented my anger on her after being wronged at work... But, her attitude change is very abnormal... The previous she would bear it silently. After all, I am not It's like that every day, and I love my family too... But in the past two weeks, she has suddenly become more and more extreme, and she has become more and more intolerable to me, even though I haven't touched me in the past two weeks...

"And as far as I know, it's not just my family. Many colleagues and even the nearby docks have heard rumors that someone's wife is getting divorced...

"So I guess, is there some organization secretly bewitching them? And if my wife really leaves me, the quality of life will definitely drop a lot, and it may even go bankrupt... Is this what those people want?

"I'm sure those who cheated on my wife must have no good intentions!"

Even if you are not sure if someone is really planning behind it, you will convict someone? Or maybe your wife really doesn't want to bear it anymore?

However, if the crisis erupted in many families at the same time, it might really be a conspiracy... Well, it's worth investigating...

Thinking of this, Klein stood up, bowed slightly and said:

"Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

After entering the bathroom, he silently recited the divination sentence: "Thomas Corson's wife filed for divorce is planned by a third party."

After seven times, he tossed up the copper penny in his hand and let it fall back into his palm.

Klein glanced at it. It was positive, indicating that someone was indeed encouraging the wharf workers' wives to divorce.

But what's the point of the people behind it?

Klein frowned, took off the citrine pendant on his cuff, and used the "pendulum method" to divination again to see if the investigation would be dangerous for him.

The result is dangerous, but small.

Nodding his head, Klein went out of the bathroom, sat back on the sofa and said, "I can accept the commission, but this matter may be dangerous, and the cost will not be low."

"10 pounds! As long as I find out the reason behind it, I can pay you 10 pounds! If my wife changes her mind because of this, I can pay you another 5 pounds as a thank you gift."

Mr. Thomas gritted his teeth and said that the money was pooled together by several men with problems in the shipyard family, and someone even helped him share the work, so he had time to find the detective.

10 pounds, which is equivalent to more than a week's salary of Mr. Summer next door... Although this Mr. Thomas is a scumbag, he is really worried about his wife... If he cares, why should he hurt him?

With a secret sigh, Klein preliminarily confirmed from the other party's emotional color that he was not lying. So he smiled slightly and said, "Deal!"

...

In Port Damir, Abner, who followed Mr. Gaston back to school, returned to his house with another reward for this trip—the "blue brooch".

He looked at the time and found that it was close to four o'clock. When he was approaching the blue star, he tried to hold a "spiritual seance ceremony" to communicate with "Admiral Bingshan" and asked whether the interception was successful that day.

He skillfully depicted the holy emblem of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" - an omniscient eye on an open book, and arranged the corresponding altar.

Inside the spiritual wall, he lit a candle, picked up the hydrosol extracted from lavender and mint, and dripped it on the quietly burning flame.

Although there is a certain "tacit understanding" between him and the God of Knowledge, these steps of pleasing each other should be omitted, but since there is no shortage of money for this material, there is still a sense of ritual.

After finishing all this, he took a step back and said in ancient Hermes language:

"I pray for the power of knowledge;

"I pray for the power of reason;

"I pray for the favor of the God of Wisdom;

"I beg you to let me communicate with the spirit of 'Guru who pursues knowledge, researcher of spirit creatures, vice-admiral of the iceberg above the sea, Edwina Edwards from Lunburg'."

...

Woo!

With the reverberation of the incantation, the inside of the altar suddenly became gloomy and cold, and the flames of the three candles flickered together, dyed pale green!

The "Pure White Eye" opened by itself at this time, and conveyed the news that spirits were invading his body.

Abner had expected this. Through the original book, he knew early on that the essence of the so-called "spiritual seance ceremony" is to let go of his body, let the target's astral body attach, and complete effective communication. Ordinary people may be easily "sent by" due to lack of necessary protection. The victim of the "Spiritual Seance"...

However, through previous meetings and conversations, he believed that "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina was not a person with malicious intentions, and with the "God of Knowledge" watching over her, he could still be trusted.

Of course, the more important thing is that Abner, who possesses the "pure white eye", is not without resistance. For example, at this time, he can prevent Edwina from fully descending, and only open her right hand and right ear use.

Then, he saw his right hand suddenly raised, grabbed the pen he had prepared long ago, and quickly wrote on the paper:

"Maria has escaped danger. She knows the contribution of 'Doctor Strange' and asked me to thank you on her behalf."

Those words are delicate and continuous, very artistic, completely different from Abner's own style.

Now I guess what I want to ask... Abner thought for a while, and asked directly: "What about the 'Finx Lion'?"

After a second or two, his right hand swiped and wrote: "She said she would send someone to help you find it, but I'm afraid she doesn't have time to hunt, so I can only tell you the approximate location."

"There is no problem." Abner said happily. As long as there is a specific location, it is not a big problem to kill an extraordinary creature that is not a demigod with one's own means.

After hovering with his right hand for a few seconds, he wrote: "If you want to go to the Southern Continent, you can choose to take the 'Golden Dream'. I am very happy to take this opportunity to exchange some knowledge with you."

After writing, Abner felt the coldness in his body suddenly disappear. It was obvious that the time for the "spiritual seance" had reached its limit, and the other party unilaterally ended the ceremony.

...

In the dock area, after visiting several families in dispute, Klein frowned again, and said to himself silently:

"Why are all the disciples of the Lord of Storms?"
