The boy muttered something and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw another person not far away - it was the man who had just stopped outside the door of Sherlock Detective's house. He waved to him with his hat in one hand. ~小_说.C,M\S~ +已_发布¢发布*醉,歆+彰_结/
"!!!"
The boy turned around and ran away without hesitation, but was horrified to find that he had lost control of his feet and was tap dancing by himself - although it looked very funny, he felt like he was falling into an abyss, and his pupils contracted sharply with fear.
"Huh? Is that you?"
Edward stepped closer, surprise showing on his face.
Edward had seen this big boy before.
The second time he came to the mysterious world, he found a child to act as a guide in order to go to the Brave Bar to buy a revolver and purification bullets. He didn't expect to see him again today.
Edward's heart moved, he lifted the dancing spell, and asked, "Are you Ian?"
The boy lowered his eyes, as if thinking of a way to escape. Edward continued, "I am... a friend of the detective who lives at 13 Minsk Street. He told me about you."
The boy looked up, but his face was still full of suspicion and vigilance: "But when we first met, I didn't know Detective Sherlock yet. Where did you hear my name?"
He looked at Ian and said calmly:
"I just heard that there is a boy named Yin En who is often hired to do things that adults are not convenient to do, so I asked casually... I came here today just to find Detective Sherlock, how about going in together?"
Ian shook his head, "Detective Sherlock isn't home. He's been missing since yesterday afternoon."
"Gone?"
Edward couldn't help but be surprised. He left Yin En and quickly walked to the door of No. 13 and knocked hard, but there was no response.
At this time, Ian followed and said, "I have been watching here since yesterday afternoon, and he has never come back."
Edward opened the door with a silent unlocking spell and walked in. Ian followed him in. The two of them walked around the room but found nothing.
"What do you want to do with Detective Sherlock?"
Ian hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Detective Sherlock asked me to help investigate something before. It happened that there was a result yesterday, so I came to see him."
"What is it?"
"this..."
He thought about it and started from the beginning...
That is the 5-pound ambassador incident that unfolded after he first met Klein. There is basically not much difference between this and the original work.
After that collaboration, the two of them occasionally kept in touch, with Klein paying Ian to help find people and collect clues. Until a while ago, Detective Sherlock suddenly found him and asked about Detective Zreal Victor Lee's previous visit to Red Rose Manor to investigate the disappearance of the maid.
Hearing this, Edward also remembered that a long time ago, he heard Audrey or Princess Helena mention Detective Zreal. At that time, he went to Edsak's manor to investigate the disappearance of the maid.
"Do you know why he asked you to check this?"
Ian said, "It seems that he is also investigating the disappearance of a maid in Red Rose Manor recently. I mentioned to him before that Detective Zreal also took on this commission before his death, so he asked me to go and ask about it."
Edward was immediately filled with questions. In the original novel, Klein had indeed accepted a commission from Prince Edsak, but wasn't that to investigate the death of the equestrian coach? How did it become a missing maid case now?
Wasn't it Triss who was responsible for the disappearance of the manor maid?
But Triss had already escaped.
"What are the results of your investigation?"
Ian said: "One of the missing maids investigated by Detective Zrel was named Cynthia, and she is the one that Detective Sherlock is tracking down now."
"Then what?"
"Detective Sherlock received information that the maid disappeared about two weeks ago, but in fact, Detective Zreal received the commission more than a month ago."
Edward was surprised: "So the information Detective Sherlock got is wrong?"
"Yes."
Edward thought for a moment, "Okay, I understand, you go back first, I will find a way to find Detective Sherlock."
Ian nodded and walked away quickly.
Edward immediately summoned Phoenix: "Phoenix, Klein Moretti, do you remember? You helped me find him before."
"Remember."
"See if you can find his location now."
Phoenix said confidently, "There is no place in this world that I can't find."
"Okay, then help me find him and see what his current situation is."
"OK!"
Half a minute later.
Phoenix seemed to have received a huge blow, its pupils were lifeless as if it had lost its parents: "I... I can't find him. He is not in the spirit world, nor in reality, but in a place that blocks my perception - there is actually a place in this world that I can't find."
Chapter 324 Arrodes's Weird Question
This guy is becoming more and more emotional.
It then said: "If I can evolve again, I should be able to find him."
"I trust you."
Seeing that Edward was not sincere, Phoenix said seriously: "I will try again and try to help you find that person."
"Okay, thank you very much, you can go back first."
After Phoenix flew back to the spirit world, Edward immediately returned to his villa in Queens, closed the curtains, lit candles, and prepared to pray to Mr. Fool.
Lilith could sense Edward's emotions, so she sat obediently beside him without interrupting him.
Edward sat on the sofa, clasped his hands together and pressed them against his forehead, reciting devoutly:
"Fools who do not belong to this era;"
"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"
"You are the yellow and black king who controls good luck."
"I pray for your gaze;"
"I pray that you will hear my voice;"
"I want to find Mr. World for something, but he seems to have disappeared yesterday, and my messenger can't find him yet. I am very worried about his safety now. Please enlighten me, Mr. Fool."
After reciting the words, he continued to maintain a pious posture, but there was no response.
"Is there really something wrong?"
Edward's heartstrings tightened and he stood up and paced back and forth.
Another ten minutes passed, and Mr. Fool still did not respond.
"No, we have to do something."
He took out the hair that Klein had given him last time, wrote "Klein's current location" on the parchment, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.
After reciting it silently seven times, he fell into a deep sleep with the help of meditation.
The scene before his eyes became illusory, hazy, and fragmented. He felt as if he was looking down from above the clouds. From afar, he saw a figure walking out of Backlund. It was Klein.
The next second, with a "pop", everything disappeared.
Edward came out of the dream and opened his eyes.
"The divination didn't fail, why did it come to an abrupt end?"
He divined again and used a variety of divination statements, but all of them came to an abrupt end after he saw Klein leave Backlund.
"I just don't believe in evil."
He popped out the gold coin: "I can divine Klein's location."
There was no doubt that the number was facing upwards, and he was about to use [Madness on the Right] to reverse it, but at this moment he suddenly retracted his fingers and pinched the gold coin.
"For this kind of thing, it seems more reliable to ask Adros, right?"
As soon as this thought came to Edward's mind, his eyes suddenly blurred and he saw an illusory and boundless gray fog. A vague figure sat in the deepest part, like sitting on a high throne, with a low and flat voice:
"He's fine for now."
After a pause, Mr. Fool continued:
"From now on, you will pray to me every 4 hours."
Edward was stunned. What kind of strange request was this?
He resisted the urge to ask more questions and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Fool."
The next moment, the gray fog disappeared and Edward returned to the bedroom.
"Pray every four hours, with no purpose, no mission, just pure prayer? This is like using me as an alarm clock that goes off every four hours to remind him of something. But what does it remind him of?"
There was too little information for Edward to make further inferences, but what was certain was that Klein must have been in some kind of predicament at this time.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to Lilith: "Lilith, do you want to go with me to find the mirror?"
"go!"
She jumped forward, hugged Edward's wrist, and put him on her shoulder. Then she saw that they were outside St. Hillran's Cathedral.
"Sorry, Mr. Odom, I'm at it again."
Facing Dirac Odom who was coming towards him, Edward first apologized that he seemed to have been coming here too frequently during this period.
"I want to ask Arrodes a few more questions."
Dirac Odom said hurriedly, "You're welcome. It's just that...Arrodes was taken away by Deacon Ikanser to investigate the Black Emperor, the thief from two days ago."
"Uh, when will he be back?"
"I don't know about that."
As he was speaking, a sound of footsteps was heard, and the one leading the group was Ikanser, whose hair was like chicken feathers. He walked hurriedly, holding a silver mirror respectfully in his hands.
"He's back."
Ikanser was in a particularly bad mood at the moment. He was just tracking down the Black Emperor, the thief symbolized by the tarot card, with the Punisher team, and then Arrodes suddenly went crazy.
