Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#73 - Klein received a new commission
The old man, dressed as a butler, was somewhat surprised by Detective Moriarty's refusal: "The reward for this commission will be very generous."
Klein smiled: "Unless I know your true purpose, and who your employer is?"
If he hadn't contacted Mr. Zale before, he might have actually believed the old man's words, but he had been to the 'Nanshan Dance Hall' and met Mr. Zale.
Klein had his own judgment about what Mr. Zale was doing, so he wouldn't easily believe the old man's words.
"Alright, alright." The old man took a deep breath and said: "If a friend hadn't strongly recommended you to me, I wouldn't have told you these things."
He said seriously: "My employer is Lord Ashbourne, who is very disgusted by Zale's practice of harming the women of Backlund and hopes to rescue those women."
"As for the reward for you, as long as you can find any of the three points mentioned before, you will get 50 pounds. If you can find all the information we need, I will pay you 180 pounds!"
For an investigation commission, such a reward is indeed very generous, but it also shows from the side that this commission must be very difficult.
As for the purpose of this employer, Klein did not fully believe it. He got up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the restroom."
He was more inclined to accept this commission because he was also very interested in this Mr. Zale, but he had to divine whether there would be any danger after accepting this commission. After all, Mr. Zale was also an Extraordinary.
Entering the restroom, Klein took out the yellow crystal pendant. He silently recited in his heart: "Accepting this commission is very dangerous."
"Accepting this commission is very dangerous."
"…"
After reciting it seven times, Klein saw the crystal pendant slowly rotating clockwise.
That is to say, there is a slight danger, but it is acceptable.

He turned on the toilet flush to create the illusion of flushing the toilet, then returned to the reception room and said to the old man, "I accept this commission."
There is nothing urgent recently, Klein plans to investigate Mr. Zale, and also investigate what that Lord Ashbourne is plotting.
…
Saturday afternoon, Zale Herbal Shop.
Simon visited again, reporting to Odys the information he had inquired about: "I treated several waiters from the underground fighting arena to dinner and finally found a way to inquire about the information of other contestants."
"That is a valet responsible for cleaning the referee's room and the lounge. He has the opportunity to witness many games during work and knows a lot about many players."
The underground fight club boss, with a wicked look, smiled and said: "I have established a long-term cooperative relationship with him. Each time I pay him 5 pounds, I can get information about the opponent. If he hasn't seen the opponent, he can also ask others for information."
Odys slowly nodded: "Very good, I will pay the 5 pounds, there is no need to deduct it from your share."
"Yes, yes, yes, I knew you wouldn't be stingy with such small money." Simon smiled.
Now Odys has become his God of Wealth, allowing him to earn twenty or thirty pounds more every week, of course, he has to lower his posture.
Simon continued: "This competition is different from the last one. It seems that after knowing that you have a special weapon, they don't plan to let you participate in competitions where you can use weapons for the time being, but instead conduct unregulated fighting competitions."
"No weapons can be used in the fight, just a simple unregulated fight. The rules are the same as most underground fighting arenas in Backlund. As long as someone is knocked unconscious or admits defeat because they can't beat their opponent, the game is over."
"Your opponent is called Eden. It is said that he has very magical abilities. He can make a person very unlucky, easily fall, and can create flashes, fog, and so on."
"The most amazing thing is that he can easily push open the wall and hide in the house."
Odys immediately understood that this must be a 'Trick Magician'. Among the low-sequence Extraordinary, the 'Trick Magician' is considered a more capable Extraordinary.
Especially their 'Falling Technique' is very useful in freestyle fighting.
But in Odys's opinion, this sequence also has great shortcomings, such as 'thin blood' and 'low defense'.
"I know." Odys nodded, went to get his pipe, but quickly put it down, because the fire in the Capim villa the day before made his throat very uncomfortable.
If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have to cough for a while, but as a Sequence 8, Odys only felt a little uncomfortable in his throat.
Simon said again: "In addition, tomorrow's game time has been changed to the afternoon, please be prepared in advance, I will pick you up at two o'clock."
Odys was thinking about how to deal with the "Trick Magician", just casually "ummed" a sound.
"I also got a piece of news that I don't know if it's true or false."
Odys looked at Simon: "Tell me about it."
"It is said that your opponent Eden belongs to a fighting organization. This organization is basically composed of excellent players in the underground fighting arena. People who have won against them will be retaliated against by them."
Odys smiled slightly: "What is the attitude of the nobles' fighting arena towards them?"
Simon smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "The fighting arena only needs exciting games."
There is no mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one capacity, one at a glance!
His implication is that because they can provide exciting games, the people in the underground fighting arena chose to ignore the organization.
Odys nodded, he knew this organization, Odys's reason for actively participating in Extraordinary fighting competitions, in addition to honing his fighting skills, another important reason was to go for this organization.
It sounds like they are just 'throwing fake punches', but they also do a lot of shady dealings for the nobles.
When Odys was Sequence 9, he repeatedly revealed their evil deeds to the 'Heart of the Machine', but the 'Heart of the Machine' was forced by the pressure of the nobles and failed to arrest them, or even launch a decent investigation.
Of course, Odys didn't have a complete plan at the beginning. It was only in the past two days that he thought that he could use some characteristics of this organization to try to kill several members of this organization.
After Simon left, Odys prepared to wear a knight's suit with a 'defense magic circle' in tomorrow's game. As long as it can resist the opponent's 'tricks', it will be easy to defeat the opponent when it gets close to the opponent.
After having a basic strategy for dealing with the enemy, Odys continued to go to the backyard to write "The Outline of Fighting".
…
Klein's investigation of Mr. Zale started from the 'Nanshan Dance Hall'.
That night, under the cover of darkness, he ambushed in the back street of the dance hall, hiding in the corner and waiting for most of an hour, and finally waited for some of the waiters to get off work.
Klein quietly followed one of them, knocked him unconscious, and took him to an undisturbed dark alley.
He first used 'Amanda' pure dew, essential oils extracted from deep sleep flowers, and other spiritually rich materials to put the other party's spiritual body in a very relaxed state, and then built a 'spiritual wall' to conduct spiritism.
Because Klein didn't know the good or bad of the person in front of him, he used the spiritism method he learned from Ms. Daly that caused less harm to others.
Otherwise, forcibly performing spiritism would definitely cause irreversible damage to the other party's 'mind body'.
Soon, the waiter who had fainted suddenly sat up, opened his eyes, and looked forward with blurred eyes.
Klein also used 'meditation' to put himself in a chaotic state of half-sleep and half-awake, and controlled his spiritual body to enter the spirit world and invade the other party's 'mind body'.
In this instant, countless memories涌现 to Klein's side.
