Demon Sage

"This Tibetan sword and walking stick is not bad. It looks a little ordinary, but since it is a weapon, it will make people alert in advance if it is too ostentatious. How much did it cost to buy it?"

In the office, Sherlock sat opposite Donald, with his feet on a low stool, with a cup of black tea beside him, and turned the chair at an angle so that he could look out the window at the flowers behind the house and the outer streets.

"For 1 gold pound, I also bought a gun for the same price."

Donald translated the text while chatting with Sherlock, otherwise the atmosphere in the living room would become dull.

"Hey, why haven't you asked me to come to the door? I'm a professional detective who solved a jewelry theft case... I'm so boring."

The entertainment industry in this era is still a bit poor. Places like taverns and opera houses are only lively at night. More importantly, Sherlock has no job at hand. Donald can still pass the time by translation, but he only He can wander between the scenery outside and the mysterious newspaper in his hand.

"Mr. Abel's jewelry theft case was solved in one day, and it did not cause social discussion. It is estimated that he will not talk about it everywhere..."

Although the two of them indirectly solved an answer, since the criminal is a heretic and Abel doesn't want this embarrassing thing to be known to everyone, the influence of this case is destined to not be too big, the reward is a lot, and the fame But not much growth.

"Would you like to investigate some cases that the police are investigating now? If we find the murderer before them, and then publicize it through newspapers such as the Secret News, wouldn't we be famous? For example, the case of the missing girl, this is the current situation. social hotspot."

Not all cases will receive widespread attention, but as long as they can be related to Flower Season Girls, the attention is often not less. After all, most people yearn for beautiful things and know that someone is destroying and plundering this beauty. , both intentionally and unintentionally.

As for this case in the strange secret report, there must be a series of two characters in front of it. Not only has it been reported continuously for nearly a week, but the number of missing people has also increased from the original 2 to the current 5, and the severity of the case has continued to increase.

Of course, it's a good thing for the news agency, because it means new hot topics. As long as they can dig up a part of the content, they can immediately gain a lot of attention, but it's another matter for the police department. They don't care about your method and process of solving the case. What they want is only the result. They have never solved the case, not to mention abuse, and there must be a lot of accusations and doubts.

What is frustrating is that as taxpayers, they do have the right to question, because the salaries in the police station are paid by these taxpayers.

"Theoretically, it should be like this. I'm just an assistant. You are a detective. It's up to you to decide whether to participate or not."

An assistant should have the appearance of an assistant. Donald can give his own opinions, and the suggestions are fine.

If this kind of case can be solved, it will naturally become famous, but if it goes badly, if there is a conflict with the police, they will not be able to give people good fruit to eat.

"The police must be very sensitive in this kind of case, and they have to start from the family..."

At the beginning of talking about the case, Sherlock's emotions were quickly mobilized, while Donald was a little absent-minded. He had looked at the wall clock several times in a row, counting the lunch time.

Today is an appointment with Ronan. If he successfully completes the demon-subduing ceremony, he will go to the pub on Gesang Street and tell Donald.

Donald wanted to know his success or failure, and although the content of the dream gave the answer to some extent, he still wanted to confirm it himself.

Can Ronan come back?

"Sherlock, I want to take a half-day off. I have important things to do in the afternoon, and the remuneration can be deducted from my salary."

There was no exact time agreed at the time, but Donald was having lunch at that time, so he should not miss it if he waited during this time. .

In addition, he does have other things to do. The third key on the keychain in his hand has no purpose. If he wants to find out its origin, he can't remember it, so he will ask the key store, maybe there will be clues.

"Okay, there's nothing to do today anyway."

In the absence of a case, what Donald needs to do in the office is translation work, and a long delay will have little effect.

Since the boss agreed, Donald left Swift's office at 11 o'clock and went to Gesang Street. First, he went to the previous pub to have a look and confirmed that Ronan had not appeared. He asked the waiter in the store on the way and learned that Gesang There are shops on the street that make small iron utensils such as keys, which are similar in nature to hardware stores.

Coincidentally, the store is not far from the restaurant, only 20 meters away. A small canopy is set up outside the store. The rainwater forms a rain curtain outside along the tarpaulin, and there is a specially placed outside the door. The wooden box, with two black umbrellas already inserted in it, and an ordinary non-slip blanket, were stained with a lot of stains.

He put away the umbrella outside, stood on the blanket and stepped on it a few times to get rid of the water stains and mud. Only then did he open the store door and enter.

The store is a bit cramped, UU read www.uukanshu.com and you can see the counter when you enter the door. On the wall behind you are using nails as shelves to hang a lot of utensils, wrenches, cages and the like.

"Sir, what do you need?"

The store manager behind the counter who was twisting the wire with pliers stood up to say hello.

"I want to know what the style of this key matches with. It's my late father's relic. The letter said he left something for me, but it didn't tell me where it was."

Casually made up a reason, took out 2 pence and handed it to him along with the key. He saw the impatience on the store manager's face. It was always unmotivated to do white jobs, and it had to be rewarded.

"What a generous gentleman, please wait a moment, I have a lot of key mold styles on my side, and our industry also has standard styles, the door has a door key style, the box has a box key style... The only difference is the iron teeth on the key."

While speaking, the store manager took out a yellowed scroll from under the counter and opened it on the counter. Donald glanced at it and saw more than a dozen key styles recorded by hand on it.

"Let me see, it's not a key to a security window, it's not a key to a solid wood door, and it's not a key to a suitcase... Now, it's made of brass, with a small round hole at the top... As you can see, this is a locker key, not the ordinary one, but for the bank, what Mr.'s father wants to leave you should be an inheritance, it is the safest to put it in the bank, you can Take this key and go to the bank to get what belongs to you, and good luck."

After comparing them one by one, the true origin of the key was finally found.

Pushing open the door, Donald was about to return to the restaurant to wait for Ronan. When he picked up the umbrella outside the door, on the other side of the street, a figure exposed to the rain was staggering over.
