Mystery: The Extraordinary Journey Starting from an Angel

Outside Red Rose Manor, Klein stepped out of the carriage with his cane in hand.

Looking at the red-uniformed soldiers standing guard at the door, he closed his eyes and kept calm.

Klein's main purpose of coming here is to investigate the prince. Since he suspects that he is under the control of 0-08, he needs to conduct an investigation.

However, he still needs to be cautious, he must not make the same mistake as Tingen.

Since the sealed object suspected of "0-08" has been creating coincidences and preventing the woman wearing the sapphire ring from meeting me.

Well, today will be no exception. Don’t worry too much about running into her. As long as you can deceive Prince Edsac with your performance, there will be no problem...

Klein's thoughts settled and he walked towards the entrance of the manor.

After handing over the gun bag and revolver, he passed the search and was led by the valet, through the road paved with gray stone slabs, around the pool spraying clear spring water, entered the main house, went to the second floor, and arrived at the place where he should be according to the layout. It's outside the tanning room.

During this process, Klein always kept his heart in mind, afraid of encountering accidents and afraid that the situation would develop in the worst and worst direction.

Fortunately, everything went as usual without any major danger.

Dong Dong Dong, after knocking lightly on the door, the manservant came to the door and lowered his voice:

"Detective Moriarty has arrived."

It was quiet for more than ten seconds before a thick voice came from the room:

"His Royal Highness, please invite him in."

Accompanying these words was the squeaky opening of the door, and a warm feeling spread out, slightly stronger than in the corridor.

Under the watchful eyes of the two tall guards, Klein stepped onto the thick, patterned warm yellow carpet.

He took a few steps forward, walked around the museum cabinets on the inside and outside of the partition, and saw Prince Edsac sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the rare sunshine in Backlund in winter.

There was no smile on that round face that made people feel friendly and impressive, and naturally created a serious and calm atmosphere.

Because of the combined effect of the elegant fireplace and metal pipes, the room was warmer than late spring. Prince Edsac did not wear a coat. His upper body was only a white shirt with flower-like cuffs blooming like flowers and a light yellow vest, with attached cuff pins and collar. Pins, badges and other accessories are not conspicuous, but they are expensive enough.

Seeing this scene, Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the girl wearing the sapphire ring was not with the prince.

So, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Edsac held a cup of steaming black tea in his hand and did not invite Klein to sit down.

He maintained his previous expression and asked in a deep voice:

"Has the investigation produced any results?"

"No, my divination, my psychic, my visits, and my investigations all told me that Talim died of a sudden heart attack."

Klein responded with a heavy expression and obvious self-blame, "No matter what aspect, I am too weak. Your Highness, you should ask for stronger and more powerful helpers."

You'd better hire someone else... He added silently in his heart.

At this moment, Edsac seemed to have a clear look at Detective Sherlock Moriarty's face, and felt that he was several years older than before, as if he had not been able to sleep peacefully for a long time.

This was not his illusion, because before Klein went out, he used the ability of the "Faceless Man" to fine-tune the condition of his face, making his skin look dry and dull, causing scattered beards that were not part of the whole body to pop out, and making the bags under his eyes worse. Bigger, darker and more obvious.

Edsac was silent for a while, then put down the white porcelain cup inlaid with gold thread in his hand and said:

"I know, it's still too forced...

"I'll have someone take over the follow-up work. You can prepare an investigation report and make sure there are no omissions."

OK!

Klein clenched his fists in his mind and quickly took out a stack of folded papers from his pocket:

"Dear Prince, you don't need to wait. I have always had the habit of recording things in writing."

Instructing the attendant to take the investigation report, Prince Edsac flipped through it, put it aside and said:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, Your Highness, please allow me to say goodbye. Well, by the way, I will go to the south for a while. I want to use the warm sunshine there to melt the pain in my heart." Klein responded with a sigh.

"This is the New Year habit of many Loen people." Prince Edsac nodded lightly and turned to look at the old butler Finkel. "Send Detective Moriarty out and send him a carriage."

Red Rose Manor is a 15-20 minute walk from the nearest town. Only when you get there can you hire a carriage.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince." The old housekeeper saluted meticulously.

Klein did not let down his guard and left quickly.

He followed the old butler all the way to the entrance of the manor and took back the armpit gun bag and sidearm.

Less than a minute later, he got on the carriage of Red Rose Manor.

Leaning against the compartment wall, watching the manor outside the window getting further and further away, Klein relaxed and exhaled slowly, letting his hanging "heart" return to its original position.

He understood that he had left the center of the stage at this time.

The next step is to bid farewell to Backlund, head to the south, and make a final call...

After that, he lurks back with a different face...

He calmly thought about his follow-up plan.

At this moment, he had a sudden inspiration and tightened his spirit. He saw the door of the carriage open quickly and then close silently!

Before he responded, a figure quickly emerged, wearing a heavy black dress and a sapphire ring.

Sapphire ring!

Seeing this scene, Klein, who was about to attack or jump out of the car, had his pupils shrink, and sat back, not daring to act rashly.

That was a terrifying person who was carrying a "0" level seal or was a demigod of this level!

This... What you fear is what you get... "0-08" or something else, is it a coincidence you created?

Klein's mind and body were instantly highly tense, and he watched the figure completely appear.

The age of the girl was completely different from her dressing style. She was about 18 or 19 years old, with a slightly round face, slender eyes, gentle temperament, and hidden sweetness. She was an extremely outstanding beauty.

She... Klein was stunned at first, then recognized the other party, and blurted out:

"Triss!"

Isn't this the guy who changed from "instigator" Triss to "witch" Triss?

How did she become the prince's woman when she was wanted?

Isn't this from the witch sect?

He didn't know what happened, why this woman was here, and had a relationship with the prince.

However, Klein did not intend to reveal his identity before he found out what happened. After all, he was no longer Klein, but Detective Sherlock.

He did not want to get involved with this witch. He did not want to do so before, and now that she has become the prince's lover, he does not want to do so even more.

As an adult who has experienced many ups and downs, he knows what he should do now to avoid all the trouble.

But it is clear that the witch opposite him does not intend to let him go.
