Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 201 Challenge Letter

"Miss, do you want to force this thief to show up?" Claudia was not optimistic and didn't understand Perficott's decision. After all, how could a thief show up for such a reason?

"Use the underworld and ordinary people in this city. After all, no matter how well his identity is hidden, as a thief he will always have to sell the stolen goods, so maybe we can use this line to find the person." Purficott said. He picked up his Midas Touch and prepared to check if there was any damage: "After all, snakes have their own paths and rats have their own paths. These people are always better informed than the official people.

And I am also interested in the unofficial supernatural beings who colonized the New World. Maybe they can be used for me. "

While speaking, Purficott checked the Midas stick in her hand, and when she saw that there was no problem, she planned to put it in her arms, but at this time she smelled a smell of perfume.

Purficott frowned, picked up the Midas Touch and smelled it carefully, and indeed found that it was stained with the smell of perfume, and it was a smell that made Purficott feel that he had smelled it somewhere before, and he had only smelled it recently. Passed.

"Claudia, can you tell that the smell on this is perfume?" Purficott handed the Midas touch to Claudia and asked her.

Claudia noticed the scent of this perfume when she retrieved the Midas Philosopher's Wand. She nodded and replied: "It should be a precious perfume that Langton only appeared on the market last Christmas. It is specially for nobles and nobles. Upper class, I've smelled it on a duchess before."

After finishing speaking, Claudia seemed to want to add something and said: "But I have never smelled this kind of smell during the pursuit. My sense of smell has been specially modified and strengthened, and I am still very sensitive to the smell. Sensitive."

"Interesting, according to you, this thief should be a man, but he smells of this kind of expensive perfume..." Perfectcott was sure that this was not her own smell, because she never used perfume.

"Very good, it seems that we have more clues now. At least we can judge that this thief should be very rich, and he can at least frequent the upper class society, so he may have a high status." Purficott was very happy. Reasonable assumptions were made.

Langton City only launched luxury goods exclusively for nobles and upper class society last Christmas, and it was not easy to get them in the colonies.

Being able to get the expensive luxury goods popular in Langton's upper class almost immediately under such circumstances is a great test for money, status, and even power.

Things suddenly got interesting.

The number of shipping companies' flights in winter will be reduced, not to mention the increase in ice floes on the sea in the past two years, which greatly increases the probability of shipwrecks, seriously increasing the cost of shipping from the empire's mainland to the colonies.

Under normal circumstances, it would take about half a year to a year for popular products in the empire to spread to the colonies. Although there may be people specifically seeking to buy top-quality luxury goods, it will still be at least a few months later.

As for saying that people with status will not become thieves? In Purficott’s original world, the King of Egypt during World War II was a man with a stealing habit. Every time he summoned his ministers, he would steal something from them, even when meeting foreign guests. The then British Prime Minister When Churchill attended the Cairo Conference in Egypt, his pocket watch was stolen from him.

Therefore, it is not something that surprises Purficott when people with status steal things. Kleptomania is a mental illness. Some people do not do it for money, but simply want to steal something.

"If you look at it this way..." Purficott had some new speculations. After thinking about it, she issued a new order to Claudia: "Claudia, tell the governor to stop the arrest, and then in A headline appeared in all the newspapers in the colony, saying that I knew who the man who stole my property at the party was, but that I despised his thief's skill and was unhappy that it had been stolen from him by such a bad thief. , so I wrote a letter of challenge to him. In two days, I will prepare a banquet in the busiest place in Xinshak City. At the banquet, I will display one of the top treasures in the world. If he really has the ability Come steal it and prove yourself the best thief in the world."

If he is a person with kleptomania, then he will definitely be proud of his stealing skills. Faced with a challenge like Purficott, he will definitely be unable to bear it, especially since the other party has just rolled over once, he will definitely be anxious. Want to prove yourself.

"Miss, what are you going to do?" But it was obvious that Claudia didn't understand the logic of Purfict's actions, and she even felt that Purfict was somewhat unsane.

However, Purficott did not intend to explain, and just ordered to Claudia: "Do as I say, and by the way, ask the newspaper to use female adjectives when describing this thief."

"Female?" Claudia felt even more confused, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions and went to convey Purficott's order.

--------------

The Bloody Earl was robbed by a thief at the banquet. This was obviously big news that could cause a sensation in New Shake City.

After receiving the order from the Governor's Palace, all newspapers naturally urgently revised their content and published this news and Purficott's challenge on their front pages.

There is no doubt that under such circumstances, it only took half a day for the entire New Shaker City to know that Perficott had issued a challenge to the thief who stole her property.

Most people felt that there was probably something wrong with Purficott's brain. Unless the thief also had a mental problem, he would have walked into the trap like this and stepped into the trap she had set.

But sometimes the majority of people do not represent the correct opinions, especially when both parties involved in the matter are not ordinary people.

Purficott analyzed the problem from the perspective of criminal psychology in the original world and deduced that the thief who stole her things must be very confident in himself, so he would pose such a posture to challenge the other party.

Because generally speaking, this kind of person cannot tolerate being provoked in the place where he is most proud.

At this point, there are too many cases to prove its correctness.

For example, when someone is talking about what they are best at in their own professional field, but they are full of mistakes and omissions, it is difficult for most people to resist the urge to interject.

So for a thief who is very confident in his stealing skills, such a declaration of war is enough to arouse the opponent's competitive spirit.
