The sudden wealth made both Klein and Leonard more reckless. They placed a few more detective advertisements, and soon a case came to their door.
only...
"I'm starting to regret being your detective assistant." Leonard lay down on the sofa with his eyes blank.
"..." Klein was also silent. This was different from what he imagined!
"So, isn't Mrs. Macleay good?" Klein asked tentatively.
"Hey! Don't tell me that name!" Leonard almost jumped up.
"Next time there is a commission like catching an adulterer, just go for it!" Leonard said decisively.
"No, you were appointed to go." Klein's face was expressionless.
"Is this how you understand catching someone raping? I was almost blocked in that room by Mr. McCleary and couldn't get out!" Leonard's face turned slightly pale.
"It was almost, I was the one caught for rape."
"No! I haven't hooked up with you yet... No, I don't have that kind of intention!"
Leonard was almost incoherent.
"Haha!" Klein finally couldn't help it and laughed loudly.
"No way, does Mrs. Macleay just like you?"
This is a rather bizarre extramarital affair investigation commission.
Mrs. Macleay suspected that her husband was cheating, so she found the newly opened Sherlock Detective Agency. During the conversation, Mrs. Macleay took a liking to Leonard at a glance and asked Leonard to investigate.
Leonard naturally did not refuse, but the strange thing was that Mrs. Macleay was very worried about her husband's betrayal.
Probably after some ideological construction, she decided that she could no longer suffer herself, so she set her sights on Leonard...
After several meetings, Leonard hid in the closet of Mrs. McCleary's room because he was looking for evidence. He was then blocked by Mrs. McCleary, who was well-maintained and still charming. To catch rape.
This kind of thing was so bizarre that Klein was stunned and said that he had never seen this scene before.
"Don't worry, in order to ensure the physical and mental health of my assistant, I will never take on such a task again." Klein promised.
"That's right! We're not here to investigate this kind of thing!" Leonard could no longer agree.
"Then let's go to that wild Beyonder's party tonight? Let the information out?" Leonard's face became serious.
"Cast a wide net and catch more fish." Klein nodded lightly. The two of them had found multiple secret gathering places for Backlund, and they could use these to collect the necessary information.
"Is this Russell's famous quote?" Leonard shook his head slightly and looked out the window at the setting sun. It was already evening, "We can set off now."
"Okay!" The two of them cleaned up and walked out of the office.
Click!
Klein closed the door of the office, but his movements stiffened slightly for a moment.
Teammate Leonard has calmly touched the firearm at his waist.
"I'm inspired, but... very weird." Klein was a little unsure.
The two of them walked on the street with normal expressions and called a carriage.
"It's like I'm about to meet someone, but he misses me when he's about to come into contact with me." Klein made a judgment.
"Is this a kind of surveillance?" Leonard frowned, "Are we being too high-profile and being targeted by the church?"
Theoretically speaking, they are no longer in the church system, and even the Nighthawks may target them, not to mention there is a more radical punishment agent.
"I don't know." Klein shook his head and had no idea after thinking for a while. "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's go to tonight's party first."
This kind of inspiration is unreasonable, and now Klein can't grasp the key.
The two of them relaxed and chatted all the way to the gathering place.
This is a nondescript house in Queens.
Klein and Leonard entered the party, both wearing hoods to hide themselves.
Most people here are dressed like this.
Klein and Leonard had been to many gatherings, and this one was a higher-level Extraordinary gathering.
Because his host is at least a Sequence Five Beyonder!
The two of them stood some distance apart, found a seat and sat down, looking at the entries written on the blackboard.
Some people who came early had already written what they needed on the blackboard.
The host sat on the sofa at the front and looked down at everyone.
He seems to have some kind of tacit understanding with the officials to be able to hold such a large gathering here.
"It's time to begin," the gentleman, also wearing a hooded robe, announced.
Everyone wrote their already prepared requests on slips of paper, asked the waiter to collect them, and then copied them on the blackboard.
What Klein wrote is: The main ability of the "Devil" Path Extraordinary, 200 pounds.
Leonard wrote: "Instigator's" potion formula, 450 pounds.
It's all fishing. As long as there are some clues, Klein and the two of them can follow the clues.
However, during the entire silent gathering, neither Klein nor Leonard received any response. There was a high probability that no one would be able to provide clues.
But when Klein was already disappointed, a waiter suddenly handed him a note.
"Are you looking for an Beyonder of the 'Devil' path? Come meet me in the study."
Klein's pupils shrank, this tone...
Leonard also noticed the situation on Klein's side and took a look here.
Klein didn't show anything, just nodded slightly, got up and followed the waiter to the study.
"Sit down." A lazy and casual voice sounded, and Klein's body stiffened slightly. This was actually the host of the party!
Klein forced himself to calm down, sat on the chair in front of this gentleman, and looked at this beauty who had taken off her hood?
Just by looking at his face, Klein couldn't tell the host's gender.
But it is indeed a man... isn't this too beautiful? !
Klein almost thought he had bumped into a witch.
"Why are you interested in Beyonders of the 'Devil' path?"
"I once met an Extraordinary who was suspected of being a 'demon', and I wanted to make sure."
This impossibly handsome gentleman looked at Klein with some powerful oppression in his eyes.
"I have information about the devil, but 200 pounds is not enough."
"You can choose to tell me everything about the 'devil' you saw. In return, I can tell you about the extraordinary abilities of the 'devil'."
This gentleman firmly controls the transaction.
"...Okay!" Klein pretended to think for a while and finally nodded.
The "devil" he knew was long dead, and it wouldn't matter if he told it.
"The main abilities of 'Devil' are demonization and malicious perception. Demonic fire spells, such as..."
The information given by this gentleman was very detailed, which made Klein think deeply.
"'Demon' is a sequence?"
"Sequence Six." the gentleman generously shared.
