When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Edward came out of the library of the Cragg Club and went downstairs to the dining room for lunch.A highland-style lamb chop, a strawberry cheesecake, and an appetizing apple juice for the drink.Lamb chops are barely a staple food. Today’s limited supply of creamy lobster is worth looking forward to, and then you can get a delicious seafood pasta.

The cheese cake is sweet and sour, the juice will bring a perfect taste experience, the meat of the lamb chops is juicy and delicious... This is the taste of human beings, Edward slowly cuts the food on the plate with a knife and fork, the taste of cheese is similar to the loss of intellectual body The last ray of hope, the chicken with lettuce has the refreshing taste of digesting the star core.Apple juice and liqueurs can bring the giddy, satisfying feeling of a one-time overdose of food and knowledge.It's very inefficient eating, but it feels good.

After eating half of it, a human came to the table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Vaughan." The male human said briskly, "I can always see you at the club recently."

"Yes, now is the most leisurely time before the New Year."

Edward replied politely, and by the way, compared this voice with the voice prints he stored with high frequency under the category of "Kragg Club", and quickly found the answer: "Today's lamb chops are delicious, maybe you Consider giving it a try, Mr. Talim."

"That's right, I'm still hungry." Talim, who had just finished working in the morning, readily accepted, and quickly went to the self-service dining area. When he came back, he had already brought two lamb chops and pies.Sitting opposite Edward, he was not in a hurry to eat, but asked with great interest:
"Mr. Vaughn, the recent serial murder case is really disturbing. Have you paid attention to this matter?"

"Of course." Edward took a bite of pasta. "This is a very interesting creative material. I have been learning about the situation through the newspaper."

Talim showed such an expression: "The detectives are also very concerned about the follow-up of this insane case." He pouted at a table next to him, "The two over there are my friends, and one is a reporter. One is a great detective, and they are discussing the matter."

He looked at the food and nodded: "Since this matter has attracted so much attention, clues should be found soon."

"I hope so." Talim shook his head and sighed, and raised another topic very naturally, "I don't know what you think about love? A friend of mine recently got his wish and got the object of love at first sight. You can take solace in this relationship."

"By the way, Mr. Vaughn, you have a rich family property, excellent contacts and charm, why don't you find a lady to spend the rest of your life with?" Talim digressed, "I heard that you were active in the war as a soldier, If you were ten years younger, I would love to have you as my mentor."

"...I once welcomed a hostess, so there is no extra space for the next person." He glanced at an inconspicuous scar on his right ring finger, where there was a ring.Deeds of glory are still passed down as horror stories or nursery rhymes. The demons in some areas are very humble, "As for joining the army, it was a long, long time ago. Now I am just an ordinary ordinary person."

"Ah." Talim was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry to bring up your sad incident, I didn't know such a thing happened before."

"It doesn't matter."

"Then are they because of their status or worldly vision?" Edward asked casually, without expecting to get an answer from Talim, "The reality can't be compared with the story, why don't you consider elopement?"

"That can't be done!"

Talim was startled, and hurriedly stopped him, only to realize that his voice was a bit loud after speaking, and the gentlemen and ladies sitting nearby all looked at him in surprise when he suddenly became agitated.Talim quickly coughed twice, his cheeks were flushed, and explained in a low voice: "Elopement is not allowed...Mr. Vaughan, one of them is an important heir of a great nobleman. If he runs away, in order to find his entire Baekeland Germany will be turned over!"

"So this is actually a Cinderella story?"

"That's right—hey, it's really distressing, but love is like this, it always comes so unreasonably, right?" Talim didn't dare to continue on this topic, and quickly changed the direction, "Yes Yes, a businessman who is new to Backlund has solved the problem of accommodation, and made a reservation to hold a banquet at home next month to meet new friends."

Edward watched him, waiting for him to continue.Sure enough, the gentleman said enthusiastically: "I don't know if you have heard of it? The businessman surnamed Carter found a large piece of ancient ruins under his newly bought mansion. There were poisonous snakes inhabiting the ruins, which looked like The beginning of a drama or horror story, isn't it? Mr. Carter said it himself. He also said that he was helped by a good and experienced detective. Mr. Vaughn, you have no butler and no servant in your house, maybe later There will be places where the detective's help will be needed."

I have servants, from 6 to 3, all of them are demons. Of course, they won’t let you see... The angel of the abyss thought quietly, and replied: "I am a little moved by what you said. May I ask his name? ?”

"That's the one sitting there with the gold-rimmed glasses—"

Talim raised his finger, then froze in place, because they chatted for too long, the reporter Mr. Mike and the detective who had something to do had already left first.He had no choice but to scratch his head, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I can only introduce you next time. Well, the name of that big detective is Sherlock Moriarty. He is very clever, and I believe he will soon It is widely known in Backlund, and it will definitely reach your ears by then."

Edward was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked Talim an irrelevant question: "Has Emperor Roselle published a series of serial detective stories called "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes"?"

The equestrian coach blurted out: "What is that?"

Later on Wednesday, after entrusting the information about the simple quest "Looking for Lanerus" obtained from Miss Audrey to several bounty hunters who are relatively familiar in the East District, Hugh thought for a while and walked to Dharavi Street At the intersection with another street, there is a knock on the door of the charity school established by the "Ernst Foundation".

This small charity school has only two small three-story buildings, which stand in a neat and quiet place on the street. One is a dormitory for homeless children and teachers, and the other is a place for classes.

Under the stern gaze of the one-eyed, elderly but still strong veteran doorman, Xio took off the crude disguise and revealed his true colors.Then she entered the teaching building, went straight to the top floor, and politely knocked on the door of a room.

"Come in." A female voice came from inside.

Xio pushed the door open and went in, and saw the familiar girl sitting behind the desk writing something.Seeing the guests come in, the girl raised her head, revealing a face with large scars: "Hugh, what's the matter?"

"Miss Maria." Facing the principal of the charity school and the person in charge of the "Ernst Foundation" Backlund East, Xio didn't dare to be careless, and immediately explained the purpose of coming, "I am tracking down a fraudster. He seems to be hiding in the Eastern District now, hoping to borrow your strength."

"A scammer?" Maria's eyes lit up first, then she thought of something, and asked in a subtle tone, "Can I ask his name?"

"His name is Lanrus." Xio replied, and Maria's face became more subtle, "He has stolen more than [-] pounds in total, and the rewards offered by Severus, private individuals, and organizations are very high." Substantial (Hugh puts emphasis on the two words), I think it's worth a try."

"..." Maria was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

"I will help you pay attention to this matter, so I hope you can collect useful clues as soon as possible." She replied calmly.

After watching Xio leave her office, the lady lawyer, who is both a member of the charity foundation and the head of the East District of the cult organization "Pilgrim Sect", pressed her temples, and took out a sheet of yesterday's report form from a stack of paperwork in her hand. A simple secret letter sent just now:
"It is confirmed that Lanerus has absconded, and his status as a "God's Favored" has been revoked. He will be regarded as a traitor. He will try to capture him alive and allow him to kill him on the spot. "

Signed by Mr. Z.

"Is it a coincidence that the bounty hunter started chasing Lanwusi? Or did he expose the clues?" Maria muttered to herself, looking out the window, just in time to see the back of Hugh leaving the charity school, "She may have I will visit a few more times, and it is necessary to write back to Mr. Z about this matter."

"In addition to this, there are serial murders that are suspected of being promoted by demons, and the kidnapping of young girls that has suddenly become rampant recently..."

Recently, the Eastern District has become less peaceful than in the past, with undercurrents surging.Maria's expression became a little ferocious. She took out a small round mirror the size of a palm from the drawer, looked at her face, and then sighed.Simple black hair and not-so-excellent looks, plus she was seriously injured in an extraordinary incident, and most of her face was covered with terrifying scars. Even if she wanted to use herself as a bait, the kidnappers would not look down on her she.

What's more, she couldn't get away from unemployment resettlement, family dispute mediation, and helping the workers' union to file a lawsuit for wages.

"Ademisor!" Maria quickly wrote the short report, and called the member of her command who seemed not very smart but was more reliable, stuffed the letter into his hand, and ordered, "After school, when you go back, give this letter to Mr. Z, and ask him to bring back some members of the Aurora Society who work here, so as not to cause any trouble."

Mr. Monster, who was newly promoted for less than a week, mopped a rag in his left hand and held a secret letter in his right. He nodded in confusion and earnestly.

"My dear friend:
Trainor, Zhan Xin'an!I have received the list of winter supplies from your steward, thank you for your donation, and I will get ready to receive it as soon as possible.

The situation in the foundation is stable. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the loss has been reduced compared to previous years. The annual report will be mailed next time.

Also, thank the Lord for His mercy!Dear friends, the Aurora Society seems to have received an oracle from the real Creator and began to cooperate with us more closely and seriously.The members of the Aurora Club work enthusiastically and reach new heights every day. They are all kind people and work hard. I am very touched.

your loyal collaborator

Richard Ernst

Viscount Treynor, who had experienced family decline, the Russell coup, and the Intis revolution, felt very confused. He stared at this text message over and over for 5 minutes, and black question marks filled his mind.

Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he would actually see someone describe the mobs of the Aurora Order with kindness. Treynor felt complicated. For the umpteenth time, he felt that there must be something wrong with Richard's brain or his own eyes.But after thinking about it, even his father can be gentle and kind in His eyes. As long as he accepts the fact that Richard's brain structure is different from ordinary people, this matter seems to be completely understandable.

……

Forget it, I still don’t understand.He burned the letter, dismissed the demonic messenger who was crouching on the window frame waiting for an answer, and returned to the big velvet bed.

Trainor gave up thinking, lay down under the quilt, and fell asleep indecision.
