Late night, 7 Pinster Street.

Leonard Mitchell sat on the chair, raised his feet, stretched them to the desk, and rested them on the edge.

Then, he leaned back, making the joints of the wood creak, and his breath gradually became longer.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyelids drooped, covering his pupils.

At this time, Leonard's spirit had already arrived in a gray world, but the place he was in was still his bedroom.

The gas street lamps beside the street and the warm firelights in different houses all looked extremely dim at this time, and could only illuminate a small area around them, and it was a little hazy.

Groups of illusory elliptical light spheres are either hiding or appearing, covering the houses in a staggered manner, which seems to be the source of their existence.

This is the city in the eyes of "Nightmare".

According to the previous investigation, Leonard jumped out of the window in the form of "Nightmare" and flew to No. 17 Minsk Street, Jorwood District.

He didn't break in directly, and landed at the door of the other party in the thick fog, and rang the doorbell politely.

In the voice of "cuckoo" and "cuckoo", Starling Summer in a nightgown opened the door.While covering her chest with the silver-studded palace feather fan, she asked confusedly and doubtfully:
"Which one are you looking for?"

She was Crane's landlord when she played Sherlock Moriarty, a blond, blue-eyed lady in her mid-thirties.

Leonard had changed into the black and white checkered Loen police uniform at this time, casually showed his ID and said:
"Do you know Sherlock Moriarty?"

Because in the dream, Starling reacted very slowly, and it took several seconds before she said:

"What happened to him?"

While she was asking back, under the influence of Leonard, the Sherlock Moriarty in her mind naturally appeared next to her:
Wearing a half-height silk top hat, double-breasted long dress, gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a beard growing around the mouth...

This is consistent with the Sherlock Moriarty that Leonard got before, so there is no doubt, and he said directly:

"He is involved in a case and is under investigation. I hope you can cooperate with our work."

"Okay, okay." Starling wanted to lift her chin, but for some reason she felt a little scared.

Leonard thought for a second and said:

"When did he rent the house?"

"Early September last year." Starling recalled.

Leonard continued to ask:
"What do you know about him? Or, in your heart, what kind of person is he?"

Mentioning this, Starling said as if she had thought about the answer a long time ago:

"He is from Jianhai County. He has an accent from there. He is a very capable detective. He once helped Mary solve her husband's affair. However, his income is not high, and he can't even afford a full-time maid. Let my maid help out part-time... My children told me that he is a good storyteller, especially good at detective stories, which may be the reason why he chose that profession..."

Without giving Leonard a chance to interrupt, she continued eloquently:
"He is not as rude as ordinary detectives. He has gone to grammar school, studied history, and the most enviable thing is that, thanks to Mary, he joined the Cragg Club, which is full of people of great status. I used to go to several times...

"Later, he seemed to be famous in the detective circle, even... private detectives often came to him..."

Leonard was a little impatient, and was about to do something else to distract his attention when he suddenly noticed the "even" that was interrupted and skipped by Mrs. Starling herself.

He keenly felt that this might be new information!

In a dream, people cannot lie. This situation proves that Mrs. Starling does not want to tell this matter... But "Nightmare" can pry other people's mouths open in a dream. Leonard waited patiently until Starling Mrs. Lin's description temporarily paused, and she immediately interrupted:
"Aside from private investigators and people seeking help, who else has approached him?"

Mrs. Starling's speech was interrupted, she was stunned for ten seconds, her expression gradually became a little fearful: "I, I can't say."

However, under the influence of Leonard's extraordinary ability, a figure naturally appeared beside her.

He was a middle-aged and elderly gentleman dressed meticulously, with a white shirt, a thick gray-blue vest that perfectly held his stomach, and a long tuxedo with clear lines and no flaws.

This gentleman wore a pair of shiny leather shoes, completely unrecognizable from the rain and mud.

He was wearing a pair of white knitted gloves, with a few strands of silver hair on his temples, deep nasolabial folds on his face, and light brown eyes that were too serious to contain a hint of a smile.

new character!This person had never appeared in the previous investigation of Sherlock Moriarty... Leonard saw that Mrs. Starling immediately showed a somewhat timid expression when she saw him.But at the same time, Leonard always felt that this elderly gentleman looked familiar...very familiar...as if he had seen it somewhere...where exactly had he seen it...he suddenly shrank his pupils, and suddenly remembered the source of this familiarity!

This elderly gentleman is Finkel, the steward of the Third Prince Edsaac Augustus!

This butler has been confirmed to have contact with the Witch Sect!

And the third prince Edsaac Augustus was one of the promoters of the "Great Smog of Backlund". He was tempted by the witch, committed a huge crime, and committed suicide on the same day. His housekeeper also the same.

Leonard felt as if he had caught some important clue, and quickly asked, "When did he come to you? What did he come to you for?"

Starling hesitated to give a date, and it was really not long before the Great Smog.But Starling dared not say what the royal butler came to her for. Leonard discovered that the other party was also affected by extraordinary abilities. Even if the butler Finkel was dead, the influence at that time was still the same. did not disappear.

The impression was so deep that Starling could always remember this date.

What can the housekeeper do for her?Maybe it was as if he came to find her by himself, for Sherlock Moriarty...Combined with the previous "even...", Leonard felt that his guess was close to ten.

Prince Edsaac's steward came to Sherlock Moriarty before the Smog...

Leonard's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

He was sure that it was impossible for him to learn from Mrs. Starling why the royal family wanted Sherlock Moriarty, because the butler didn't need to explain his purpose to an ordinary middle-class woman.Of course, he never imagined that this bold and lucky detective would actually get involved in the big event of "Backlund Smog" in this way, let alone imagine what kind of role this detective played in it. character of.

After that, Leonard made the image of the butler Finkel disappear, and listened to Mrs. Starling's nagging for a while.

Leonard, who patiently listened to a lot of useless news, felt his temples throbbing. When Mrs. Starling finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say goodbye to her, ending this dream.

After returning to his residence, Leonard began to think about the new information he obtained today.

"According to the testimonies of Daisy, reporter Mike and those who were helped, Sherlock Moriarty is a good man with a positive image. At the same time, the third prince is not the leader of the smog, just because Indulging the Witch and suffering from it... From this perspective, Sherlock Moriarty should not be the hidden driver of the Great Smog."

"But it cannot be ruled out that the image of 'good detective' is just his disguise. After all, Jason Beria is also a good neighbor in the hearts of others."

"However, what the third prince seeks out Sherlock Moriarty is no longer known..."

Leonard wrote and drew in his notebook, added a name "Third Prince" next to "Sherlock Moriarty" in the middle of the notebook, and then connected a line, and "Third Prince" Connected to "Witch Sect".Leonard thought for a few seconds, then connected "Sherlock Moriarty" and "Great Smog" online, and put a question mark.

Next, let's start with those who have a good relationship with Sherlock Moriarty in the Cragg Club...

The old parasite didn't comment on his soliloquy and conjectures. He was probably still thinking about the "ancient aura" stranger he met during the day, the mysterious Dixie who had just moved to Backlund. Mr Regal.

After completing today's investigation notes, Leonard stretched his waist. He was so energetic that he didn't need to sleep, and he planned to rest for a while before continuing the investigation.

"Speaking of which... being able to recognize the butler Finkel proves that my memory hasn't deteriorated. So where does the vague sense of familiarity in Sherlock Moriarty come from?"

After pouring a glass of water, Leonard turned back, stared at the photo of Sherlock Moriarty nailed to the cork board, and fell into deep thought again.

His eyes stayed on the circle of beard, and he thought it was too eye-catching no matter how he looked.

522
In the training ground of the City of Silver, people's eyes always unconsciously turned to a certain place in the auditorium.

The blue-eyed Uno was hugged by his mother, holding a small piece of black-faced grass bread with both hands, as if he was in a daze, and seemed to be gnawing bread.

Even after birth, Uno's growth rate is still much faster than normal children.Of course, he has no teeth yet, can't eat bread, and can't live without his mother's feeding.

He just came back with the "Afternoon Town" exploration team led by the chief a few days ago. The casualties of the exploration team were reduced to an astonishing one-tenth. Only two people in the team of twenty were injured, and one person was injured because of the injury. Death from overweight, others were simply minor injuries that even healed on the way back!
They brought the angel of fate, as if fate was naturally on their side too!
Witnessing the miracle for the second time made the people of the City of Silver more devout towards the Lord and the Angel of Destiny. After a thousand years, the Lord finally set his sights on this place again and sent the angels beside Him to bless people. Will it be far?

Uno, who was only two months old, didn't feel the respectful gazes from time to time. He focused on holding the small piece of black-faced grass bread in his hand, and stared blankly at somewhere in the dark sky.

A flash of lightning struck, and silvery white light reflected into his blue eyes.

He saw red, the color of blood, and the color of flames. In that color, he saw everything that could be summed up by "war". The flames rose and burned the sky, and the sea of ​​blood sank and flooded the earth.

In his vague memory, he thought of a friend with iron black eyes.He knew they would meet again, so the part of Ulorius resigned to fate was silent, and he missed the red friend a little bit.

Another flash of lightning flashed by, and Uno narrowed his eyes. He thought of the gray mist and the mysterious castle. The lightning seemed a little too bright, and he felt his eyes hurt.

He was too young and his body was too new to use much strength. Uno soon became sleepy and his eyes were still uncomfortable.He squeezed into his mother's arms, and his mother's arms felt very safe. He closed his eyes and wanted to fall asleep, and still held the bun firmly in his hand.

It has to be said that after the master reduced the raving, the quality of sleep after this reboot improved linearly.

……

In Backlund, Trainor was reading a newspaper.

As a secretary who is excellent in intelligence, business, clocking and fishing, Medici took him as a matter of course when he went back to Loen to fish this time.

But he didn't live at Faye, even though that was where he grew up until he was 17.

He directly rented a villa in Backlund, worked for the Aurora Club every day, and fished in his villa.

What bad thoughts could Medici have?The reason why he came to Ruen was because Ruen seemed capable of fighting, but Intis seemed incapable of fighting at the moment, so Tony Twain was tricked by him into Intis in the name of honing his management skills. live.

It just so happened that he also wanted to discuss the next cooperation with the Demon Family, and brought Edward's own recipes and small object records.

"The 10% bicycle shares... haven't been sold yet? It seems that the internal bidding is quite fierce."

Trainor looked at the information on the business section of the newspaper, and quickly searched for the advertisements he was concerned about. The bicycle reminded him of the various small toys he played with when he was a child. When he thought about it carefully, there was indeed a lot of business opportunities in it.

"A businessman from Dixie is also participating in the bidding. 10% bicycle shares, the current reserve price is 9000 pounds..."

Since... the shares of bicycles are still worth fighting for. After coming to Loen, Treynor quickly noticed that many people in Backlund had started to use bicycles. After all, the average price of bicycles was around 2 pounds. It is affordable and fashionable, and it is convenient for the middle class to show off.It is precisely because of its huge appreciation space that 10% of the shares can be sold for 9000 pounds.

He also tried calling out an offer, which was 8500 pounds, which was higher than the [-] pounds at that time.Originally, Mr. Dawn Dantès expressed some intentions to withdraw from the transaction, but he was brushed off by the higher price this morning.

"Forget it, I just came to Loen, so there is no need to compete with Earl Hall for financial resources."

He recognized the other party's bidder, who was a Loen nobleman who had talked about international business a few times before.When the demon family grew bigger, it was also said that there were many nobles in Loen who tried to take a stake in the Fetus food factory, and Earl Hall was one of them.Therefore, he gave up the bidding with some heartache, and wanted to buy 5% of the shares through a private transaction afterwards, but was rejected by Earl Hall's people, unwilling to reduce his future income.

While he could totally afford it, there was no need to cause trouble for it.

In the future, you can sell your... bicycles to other countries, and you can also try the Southern Continent. The sooner you start, the more you will earn.

After reading the newspaper, Trainor grabbed his "Faceless Man" coat, turned into a nondescript Loen face, left the temporary villa, and went for a walk in Backlund City.

Richard wants to make money by selling some special products of the Southern Continent, such as weaving and handicrafts. It seems that he has the idea of ​​gradually transferring people to the Southern Continent.

In fact, the sales of these things have always been very good, but Treynor wants to return Intis to fry gold and spices.

Through Richard, Treynor also learned that the Balam Empire will continue to reduce the export of gold, spices and grain, and give more surprises to the North Continent, and in all of this there is his own father. These means deal with countries other than Intis.

He was walking on the streets of Backlund, and a parade crowd came in front of him.

The South Continent reduced its exports and took the plantations in four cities back to the country.Before the food was affected, the textile mills could not receive cotton from the Southern Continent, could not pay wages, and laid off workers on a large scale. The workers took to the streets holding signs like when the machines were introduced.

It doesn't necessarily work, but if you don't, you'll literally starve to death if you don't stand out.

Trainor watched for a while, then walked away.

……

In East Chester County, Audrey opened a letter.

"Dear sister:

"At this time last year, I was still expecting you to come to the Southern Continent in the letter and experience the clean air, warm sunshine, various unique customs and delicious seafood in our colony, but now I can't Do not admit that when the war started, the land was full of blood, violence, horrific murders and all kinds of appalling events.

"Dear Audrey, I heard from my father that you have also embarked on an extraordinary path. As an older brother, I sincerely hope that you will not go too far.

"I'm not trying to control you, or dictate my sister's choice, but I've seen too many horrible things in these short few months. Can you imagine? A friendly and generous general suddenly chose Mutiny, a majestic boss died silently in the middle of the night, and in the colonies, after only 10 minutes of darkness, two cities and half of the population in the cities disappeared. I was not originally a city garrison, but now I have to Fight with them. In the battles of the past few days, comrades who are too late to bury will turn into horrible living corpses in a blink of an eye. The personnel of the cult do not know how to respect corpses and life.

"..."

"Can you imagine? Under the leadership of the cult, the originally gentle and kind-hearted natives of the southern continent turned into terrifying outlaws in an instant. They killed their masters and murdered their bosses. From ordinary people to murderers It's just the difference between shooting and chopping. They don't care about the favor and treatment in the past. After killing their boss or master, they turn around and dedicate their land and property to the evil Church of Death and their Balam empire.

"..."

"These southerners have no morals, no conscience, and are not worthy of being servants. They are extremely greedy. As long as they can see a little benefit, they will immediately abandon all the upbringing as civilized people and use the most barbaric means to plunder.

"..."

"Dear sister, please don't come to the Southern Continent."
