Demon Sage

“This cane is not bad. It looks a little ordinary, but since it’s a weapon, it’s too ostentatious and it will make people alert in advance. How much did it cost to buy it?”

In the office, Sherlock Sitting across from Donald, with his feet on the low stool, with a cup of black tea beside him, he turned the chair at an angle so that he could look out the window at the flowers behind the house and the street further out.

“For 1 gold pound, I also bought a gun at the same price.”

Donald chatted with Sherlock while translating the text, otherwise the atmosphere in the living room would become dull .

“Hey, why haven’t I been commissioned to come to the door? I’m a professional detective who solved a jewelry theft case… so boring.”

The entertainment industry in this era It’s still a bit poor. Places like taverns and opera houses are lively at night. More importantly, Sherlock has no job at hand. Donald can also pass the time with translation, but he can only spend time outside. He lingered with the mysterious newspaper in his hand.

“Mr. Abel’s jewelry theft case was solved in one day, and it did not cause social discussion. It is estimated that he will not talk about it everywhere…”

Although the two of them indirectly solved an answer, but since the criminal is a heretic, Abel doesn’t want this embarrassing thing to make him well known, so the influence of this case is destined to not be too big, the reward is a lot, and the fame There hasn’t been much growth.

“Would you like to investigate some cases that the police are investigating now? If we find the murderer before them, and then publicize it through newspapers such as the Bizarre News, won’t we become famous? For example, this girl Disappearance cases, this is a hot spot in society now.”

Not all cases will receive widespread attention, but as long as they can be related to the Flower Season Girl, the attention will often not be less, after all, most people There will be yearning for beautiful things, knowing that someone is destroying and plundering this beauty, will take a look at it intentionally or unintentionally.

And the case in the secret newspaper has to be preceded by a series of two characters. Not only has it been reported continuously for nearly a week, but the number of missing persons has also increased from the original 2 to the current 5. The case The severity of it is increasing.

Of course it’s a good thing for the news agency, because it means new hot topics, as long as they can dig up a part of the content, they can get a lot of attention immediately, but it’s another thing for the police department. It’s one thing, the public will not care about your method and process of solving the case. What they want is only the result. The case has not been solved, and there must be many accusations and doubts.

It is frustrating that as taxpayers, they do have the right to question, because the salaries in the police station are paid by these taxpayers.

“In theory, it should be like this. I’m just an assistant. You are a detective. It’s up to you to decide whether to participate.”

The assistant must have the appearance of an assistant. Donald can Give your opinion, just suggest.

If this kind of case can be solved, it will naturally become famous, but if it goes wrong, if there is a conflict with the police, they will not be able to give people good fruit to eat.

“The police must be very sensitive in this kind of case, and we have to start with the family…”

At first talking about the case, Sherlock’s emotions were quickly affected. When mobilized, Donald was a little absent-minded. He had looked at the wall clock on the wall several times in a row, counting the lunch time.

Today is an appointment with Ronan. If he successfully completes the Demon Descension Ceremony, he will go to the pub on Gesang Street and tell Donald.

Donald wanted to know his success or failure, and although the content of the dream gave the answer to some extent, he wanted to confirm it himself.

Can Ronan come back?

“Sherlock, I want to take a half-day off. I have important things to do in the afternoon, and the remuneration can be deducted from my salary.”

The exact time was not agreed at that time, but Donald was having lunch and waiting at this time, It shouldn’t be missed. .

In addition, he does have other things to do. The third key on the keychain in his hand has no purpose. If he wants to find out its origin, he can’t remember it, so he will ask the key store, maybe There will be clues.

“Okay, I have nothing to do today anyway.”

In the absence of a case, all Donald needs to do in the office is translation work.

Since the Boss agreed, Donald left the Swift office at 11 o’clock and went to Gesang Street. He went to the previous pub to have a look and confirmed that Ronan had not appeared, and asked the waiter in the store, I learned that there is a shop on Gesang Street that makes small iron utensils such as keys, similar in nature to a hardware store.

It is a coincidence that the shop is not far from the restaurant, about 20 meters away. A small canopy is set up outside the shop. There is also a wooden box specially placed outside, with two black umbrellas already inserted in it, and an ordinary non-slip blanket with a lot of stains.

I picked up my umbrella outside, stood on the blanket and stepped on it a few times to get rid of the water stains and mud, and then I opened the store and entered.

The shop is a bit narrow, and you can see the counter when you enter the door. There are a lot of utensils, wrenches, cages and the like hanging on the back wall using nails as shelves.

“Sir, what do you need?”

The manager behind the counter who was twisting the wire with pliers stood up to greet him.

“I want to know what the style of this key is with, it’s my late father’s relic, the letter said it left something for me, but it didn’t tell me where it was .”

He made up a reason casually, took out 2 pence and handed it along with the key, he saw the impatience on the store manager’s face. There has to be a reward.

“What a generous gentleman, please wait a moment, I have a lot of key mold styles here, and our industry also has standard styles, the door has the door key style, the box has the box key The style…the difference is just the iron teeth on the key.”

While speaking, the store manager took out a pan yellow scroll from under the counter and opened it on the counter, Donald glanced to see More than a dozen key styles are recorded by hand on it.

“Let me see, it’s not the key to the security window, it’s not the key to the solid wood door, and it’s not the key to the hand luggage… Yes, it’s made of brass, with a small circle on the top Kong… As you can see, this is a locker key, not the ordinary kind, but for the bank, what the father of Mr. wants to leave you should be an inheritance, put it in the bank It is the safest, you can take this key to the bank to get what belongs to you, I wish you good luck.”

One after another After comparison, the real origin of the key was finally found.

Opening the store door, Donald was about to return to the restaurant to wait for Ronan, when he picked up the umbrella outside the door, on the other side of the street, a silhouette exposed to the rain was staggering.
