Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 79 I Can't Think of a Title

210
In the morning Florent said good-bye to his passionate lover, and returned home refreshed in spirit and wanting to sleep physically.The butler opened the door for him, and the well-trained servants waited on him, taking off his coat and bringing home clothes for him.After changing into softer and looser clothes, he stretched beautifully and yawned, feeling very comfortable.

Walking through the corridor to the main hall, he saw his younger sister, who was always alive and kicking, was sinking into the sofa, holding a book that looked thick and boring, and read it intently.

"What are you doing?" Florent went around behind Adele, and saw that the pages of the book were yellowed, and there were many strange symbols drawn on them. The text was not Intis language, but ancient Hermes language. Florent suddenly Get vigilant, "Adela, what do you want to do? It won't be another weird ceremony, right?"

"I warned you, research is fine, but you can't, at least you can't secretly play these ritual magic at home!"

Adele put down the big book that covered her entire face, revealing two huge dark circles and a haggard and confused face after being beaten by knowledge.

"I don't think the ceremony is completely useless..."

Adela defended herself angrily: "Look, brother, when I was nine years old, I was kidnapped by bad guys and saw a powerful and beautiful demon. After I came back, I studied the ritual of summoning demons for five years. As a result, this Mister Demon is indeed appearing beside me now."

"This is not summoned at all."

"After all, the lines of his exoskeleton are so beautiful, and every arc of the twist is just right. The blood-stained claws and scales made me fall in love at first sight. The curved horns feel like bones, but the edges have a cold light like blades. Nothing is not a work of art. His black eyes are like the abyss in the legend. When I look at me, I feel that my breathing and heartbeat will stop together. I love the cold, cruel and contemptuous eyes of all life. I I really want to touch His wings, they are wide and beautiful, as if they can cover the sky, they are even more beautiful than hang gliding..."

"Enough is enough, no one can understand what you said."

Florenti had the idea of ​​"Damn, it's really weird" about her sister's hobbies countless times, and another mysterious thought came from this: putting a sister's dream on any angel is blasphemy, So is blasphemy against the devil counted as blasphemy or is it playing into the hands of the devil? Is this a kind of negative gain? Then he reflected on his boring thinking for five seconds. It is really easy to lose human status when chatting with Adele.

Florent had no choice but to say: "I have no objection to you trying to win over others for your family or just because you like it, so where are you now?"

Adele's lips twitched a few times: "It hasn't started yet... I'm reading related literature on pleasing and summoning demons..."

Florent fell silent.

"I'm ashamed of you for your progress." He said, "You better give up, that kind of existence will not be moved for no reason."

"But I don't want to marry the Earl of Wells."

Adele rested her chin and sighed: "He is stupid, frivolous and superficial, and he has not inherited half of the advantages of his parents, not even his appearance. He is not as good as a scale of His Royal Highness Edward in every way. He likes to brag about his military exploits but He is also very timid, and the so-called military achievements are nothing more than riding a horse and turning around twice to show his face when suppressing mobs and colonies. If it weren't for my bad talent, their family has made too much money from the Southern Continent recently, and it probably wouldn't have happened. Chance climbs to the high branches of our royal family."

"He's ten years older than me!"

"His Royal Highness Edward is more than 1000 years older than you...?"

"It's different!"

"For future wars, Your Majesty needs funds."

Florent replied succinctly: "I know this is unfair to you, but it is also our duty to repay the family. After climbing the high branch of Sauron's royal family, they will definitely do everything to please you, and they don't even dare to let you find a lover. After you became pregnant, you directly let the Earl of Wells die unexpectedly, and then relied on the child to control the family, then you are the legal and orthodox hostess, and it is also possible to change your surname back to Sauron."

"I don't even want to have this process."

Adela threw the book away, fell sideways on the sofa, buried her face in the luxurious soft leather sofa, and said almost nonsense: "I can feel what that person wants, but I haven't been able to completely impress him... Anyway, the engagement hasn't been finalized yet, I still have a chance, let me try again!"

Florent shrugged, yawned and went back to sleep.

Klein waited at home until more than ten o'clock, and the reporter Mike who had agreed to interview him had not come yet, which meant that the interview was likely to be postponed.So, he put on a heavy old coat, a peaked cap and Daisy's word book, and left Minsk No. 15.His original plan was to find an opportunity to give Kohler some hints when he accompanied Mike to the East End for an interview, so that he would not mention his promise to help Liv find her daughter.

As for Liv's family, the old Kohler will remind them.

But now, Mike postponed the matter for a day, and Klein became more calm, and no longer worried about mistakes and accidents.

…………

Combined with the address mentioned by the old Kohler, Klein entered the depths of the Eastern District based on the revelation obtained from divination, and found the room on the third floor under the watchful eyes of vigilance or guard, numbness or greed.

There is a bunk bed here, and the total space is only about seven or eight square meters. The only cabinet is piled with sundries, and in the corner is Taylor's sewing machine that seems to be falling apart at any time.Every vacant place is packed to the brim, but unexpectedly it gives people a fairly tidy feeling.

The father and daughter live together? There are no other floor beds here. It seems that Taylor has worked really hard and hard... Klein looked directly at the lower bunk of the innermost bunk bed and shouted, "Old Kohler. "

With a swipe, the old Kohler turned over and sat up, leaning against the door in surprise: "You are indeed here. After I sent you the letter yesterday, I guessed that you would come to see me today, so I didn't go to the pier. I've been waiting at home."

Well, I don't need to think about how to make up a lie to explain why I came here to find you directly... Klein looked around and said, "Old Kohler, with your current income, you can definitely rent a better room. For a better place, why just change from the ground floor to the bunk bed?"

"Most of the money is for collecting information for you." Old Kohler said with a smile, "And I am no longer young, and I have to save some money for the future when my body completely weakens. Taylor can't, and can't always mend clothes for others .I think Mrs. Liv is right, I will also send Taylor to school, charity school or church night school..."

Klein was silent for two seconds and said: "You can consider buying some insurance, such as the 'poor family assistance insurance', as long as you pay a little money every year, it will allow you to receive at least one insurance policy every week when you really get old. Money that can fill your stomach and sleep in your room.”

The insurance industry in this world has sprouted in the Fourth Epoch. After the promotion of Emperor Roselle, it is now relatively mature. It mainly includes various insurances related to maritime trade, fire insurance, injury insurance, pension insurance in different names, etc. , the overall concentration is more on the rich and the middle class.

"I know this. When I was a worker, I paid 3p a week for insurance, but then I lost my income..." Old Kohler sighed.

His biggest problem now is that his income is unstable, and he doesn't know when the informant fee from Mr. Detective will be interrupted.

Klein couldn't promise anything, pointed outside and said, "Let's go to Liv's house and return the vocabulary book to that girl."

After leaving the room, Klein said casually: "It's really a joke. I just said that I would do a volunteer job to help find Daisy the day before yesterday, but she was sent back by the police yesterday. Don't mention this matter in the future. , I don't want to be laughed at."

"Okay." Old Kohler agreed first, and then said, "No one will laugh at your kindness and kindness."

As he said that, Klein took out 13 soli from his pocket, pushed them back in front of Old Kohler, and said with a wry smile, "Hehe, but it's a shame I didn't help you, Old Kohler, the money still belongs to you."

The old Kohler obviously hesitated, but finally accepted the money: "Mr. Detective, I will use them to pay the insurance."

Through the dirty streets, the two came to Liv's house.Klein saw that the girl who had just been rescued started the ironing work that might scald him at any moment, and saw that the clothes hanging here were hanging down one by one, dripping with water, just like before, so he didn't know what to do. say something.

"Daisy."

After a while, he opened his mouth and called out, "Your word book."

Daisy's eyes lit up, but it was inconvenient to leave, she stopped working after a while, came to the door, and kept saying "thank you".

After Liv and Freya also put down their work and came over to express their thanks, Klein repeated what he had just said to Old Kohler.

After getting an affirmative answer, he took out the £2 change he had prepared earlier and handed it to Liv: "Tomorrow a reporter will come to interview Daisy. This is the prepaid reward from him, but please don't do it in front of his eyes." Face to face, otherwise many things will be difficult to deal with, hehe, maybe he will give some more tomorrow, but not so much."

"Well, no, I'm willing to expose that villain's evil deeds, no money required!" Daisy shook her head violently.

Klein laughed: "This is the rule, you can't break the rule, understand?"

He turned to look at Liv and said, "Accept it. Your idea is right. Only when Daisy and Freya know more words and learn more things can you get out of the current situation."

He was going to say a lot of things, and wanted to suggest that Liv's family move to the edge of the East District, anyway, customers who can afford laundry will not live in the East District, but in the end he didn't mention anything.

He originally planned to give the other party more help, but he still restrained his behavior.

There are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people like Liv's family in the East District. Simple individuals who want to help them, even big bankers, can't make a splash. , there is the entire Backlund, and the Loen Kingdom.

"...Thank you, thank you Mr. reporter for me." Liv was silent for a while before accepting the money.

Klein didn't stay long, and left in a hurry, as if there was a ghost hiding here that would devour his heart.

After walking outside with Old Kohler, he glanced back, exhaled suddenly, and whispered:
"There has never been a savior..."

Maria heard that Detective Sherlock Moriarty was coming early in the morning, and immediately began to prepare rewards and thanks.Mr. A, who was greatly helped by the other party's road map, but almost lost his life because of the black ghost, felt ashamed to see others, and returned to the Aurora Society early yesterday to report.

His own promotion can finally be put on the agenda.

Dr. Black came back to everyone so easily. He collected Extraordinary materials privately but hadn’t saved any money for several years. His Highness Edward gave it to her so easily... Maria was a little depressed, but more Still happy and helpless to his own weakness.However, the opportunity to be promoted to Sequence 5 gave her some comfort, but this matter had to wait for the turmoil in Capin to completely subside.

"There has never been a savior? The next sentence seems to be... It doesn't depend on gods and emperors... What's next..."

Watching Klein visit Old Kohler and Daisy, when he was about to leave the East District, Maria rushed to meet him.The Extraordinary of Sequence 6 was about to speak when he heard Sherlock's whisper, and felt a little familiar for a while. It seemed to be an extremely profane song, but it made people feel inexplicably high-spirited.As for where I heard it... probably the leader? I didn't expect Detective Moriarty to sing this song, what a coincidence.

"Did you say anything just now?" Old Kohler asked.

"No." Klein shook his head, just in time to see Maria walking up quickly. Since he wasn't sure about the other party's true purpose and thoughts, he was in a complicated mood, but he didn't show it in his expression and body movements, "Morning Well, I'm glad you're safe and well, Miss Maria."

To the detective who helped her a lot, Maria couldn't help showing a smile: "Mr. Moriarty, you are really an excellent detective! You easily solved the problem that has troubled us for a long time. The children can The smooth return to my own home is inseparable from your help."

She didn't lie, she was very sincere, and she didn't seem like someone who would collude with the Aurora Society... Klein was thinking, resisting the urge to ask Mr. A's whereabouts, and politely waiting for the next words.

"So, I decided to give you the highest standard of compensation."

Maria took a brand new and smooth check and handed it to Klein: "A whole thousand pounds. This is what your wisdom deserves."

I am very satisfied with this reward!Klein was genuinely excited, took the check from the other party, resisted the thought of carefully appreciating it over and over again, folded it in half and put it in his inner pocket close to his heart, and continued to greet Maria: "I am also looking forward to the future I can continue to work with you.”

He pretended to be ignorant and asked, "By the way, what happened to Capin?"

Maria thought for a while about what could be said and what could not be said, and considering that the other party had never mentioned anything related to Extraordinary, she told him as concisely as possible: "There was a big explosion in Capin's mansion, and it has been razed to the ground now. Fortunately, the children were basically unharmed."

"Razed to the ground?" Klein wondered.

A gas explosion isn't that powerful, is it?
"Yes, it was razed to the ground. Capin's mansion has now disappeared completely, and the place is now enclosed by the church and the military. It is said that the matter involving spies must be investigated in detail, and the public cannot see it."

Is it really a spy incident... First, Intis, and now Fenepot, I really have a relationship with spies, but luckily I didn't get involved.Klein realized something when he thought of that nightmarish claw.Out of politeness and information needs, and because he had nothing else to do for the time being, Klein simply chatted with Maria on the side of the street, talking about Maria's charity school, charity hospital, and the wharf workers' association.

Maria was very eloquent about this, and talked eloquently, sweeping away the image of the usually majestic elite, from the courses in the charity school: arithmetic, grammar, sewing, to the adopted children in the school.He also talked about the operation mode of charity hospitals and workhouses: people in the East District can use volunteer work in exchange for food, or they can choose to become long-term volunteers for training.However, due to an accident at the attending physician's home, the Charity Hospital, which was short of doctors and nurses, was almost in trouble this month. Fortunately, the attending physician was successfully reinstated, and the patients were soon able to receive treatment and return to work.

The human trafficking and kidnapping case was finally solved, and the heaviest stone in Maria's heart was shattered.Maria is now full of confidence in the future, saying that she is calculating the funds at hand, and her processing plant may be expanded to absorb more unemployed female workers.

Seeing Maria's sincerity and sincerity towards charity, and thinking that the other party's people had sneaked into the hands of members of the Aurora Society at some point, Klein's mood was complicated.I even wondered if what I saw that day was actually Maria. Why did she seem to know nothing?
