Quick Pass: Play Cannon Fodder
Chapter 72 4.3
After thinking about it for a moment, a blue light in the mirror caught Xing Huan's attention.He got up and walked to the mirror, looking at himself with interest.
Since Walter Lemon is an out-and-out Englishman, he has a pair of azure blue eyes in the mirror, and his originally exquisite facial features appear more three-dimensional. At first glance, he looks like an exotic version of Mr. Huanhuan.
In particular, this pair of slightly sad eyes, matched with the naturally curled eyelashes, is drawn a bit charming by the deep eyeliner, looks pitiful yet masculine, showing aristocratic atmosphere in the feminine.
Xing Huan immediately understood why Isabel showed mercy to his subordinates.This kind of appearance can be said to be a good hand in selling misery, and it is very easy to arouse the sympathy of others.
Walter also won the mercy of the jury in court with his big watery eyes.
At that time, the 12-person jury consisted of men and women, and the ratio was [-] and [-].
It stands to reason that Walt's innocent face is more likely to win the favor of a female jury.However, Jack the Ripper only targeted women, and the number of men in the jury voted much higher than that of women, so Walt was released in court.
Coupled with the setting of this world that allows same-sex marriage, opposite-sex attraction has little effect in the jury.
You know, in London in this day and age, homosexuality is still considered a crime.But the God of this oil painting is an out-and-out homosexual, and he just changed this old express rule when painting.
Heh, the pervert's attitude is really tough.Xing Huan grinned, then took off his coat, and sat back on the rickety chair.
He has found the way to restore the witchcraft, and the answer is hidden in the pumpkin.But he currently lives in a slum without a decent bathroom, let alone land to grow pumpkins.
Moreover, the most important page is missing from my grandfather's cultivation manual - how to grow ordinary pumpkins to the size of a carriage?What planting witchcraft needs to be used in this?What are the steps of cultivation?
This page is the key, but it was lost in the Lemon family's big estate, and was seized by the Scotland Yard police, and it is currently lying on Inspector Edward's desk.
For this man, Xing Huan must raise his vigilance by 20 points.
Inspector Edward doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and insists that Walter is the biggest suspect, and he will come to trouble him at any time, and he is especially fond of cynicism, wanting to cut off his limbs at every turn, he is simply a wild wolf from an asylum.
Xing Huan laughed loudly, then closed his eyes, trying to find the content of this page in Walt's memory.After searching for a while, he still couldn't remember it, which meant that even Walt hadn't read this page.
Except for this page, Xing Huan also couldn't find any trace of Jack the Ripper.
This notorious murderer had no contact with Walt himself.Unless he was standing beside Xing Huan, otherwise, even the uncle would not be able to sense his identity.
Right now, all things must be considered in the long term, whether it is planting pumpkins or arresting murderers, we must first fill our stomachs before talking.
After tidying up the room briefly, Xing Huan took out a few crumpled banknotes from under the bed.
After putting on his coat again, he walked quickly to the market next to Wu Crow Street, intending to buy something for himself.This time, he avoided the group of women at the beginning and picked vegetables and fruits at the other end of the market.
Meat is unaffordable, and it’s nice to be a vegetarian once in a while.Xing Huan patted the zucchini in front of him, and unexpectedly met the consultant detective of Scotland Yard - Harvey Hankins.
This old man had worked for Scotland Yard for some time, so he naturally knew the details of Walt.In his opinion, Walt is just a down-and-out aristocratic boy, not a Jack the Ripper at all, and he has no wizard skills.
In addition to Isabel, Harvey is also helping Walt.But his starting point is different from Isabel's. The reason why he introduced the client to Walt is just to screen his customer list, so as to eliminate poor customers, and to laugh at Walt's ignorance to his heart's content.
Walt didn't think much before, but now Xing Huan has to think more.
But he remained calm, and said, "Uncle Harvey, are you all right?"
Only then did Harvey discover Xing Huan, stroked his beard and said, "So it's you, my brother Walter, I was just going to find you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have bumped into him in this dirty market." It's my turn, it seems to be God's will." After that, he patted the dust that didn't exist on his body.
"Oh, is Uncle Harvey looking for something for me?" Xing Huan shrank his hands, pretending to be stimulated, "Do you want to introduce a client to me?"
"Ah, you are right. There is a difficult case right now, and the client's request is a bit unreasonable. I plan to recommend you to him." Harvey smiled funnyly, "His grandson disappeared two years ago, He just wants to find this poor child, and doesn't care if you are a murderous maniac."
Xing Huan listened silently, then hugged a bag of vegetables in his arms, and said, "Even Uncle Harvey can't find out the truth, how could I?"
Harvey quickly explained: "No, Brother Walter, you must have misunderstood me. This disappearance case is not difficult, but I still have the big case of Scotland Yard to deal with, and I really can't spare myself to deal with such trivial matters You managed to open a detective agency, but unfortunately almost no customers came to your door, I think you should seize the opportunity." Then, he nodded, using a smile to hide the gloating on his face.
In fact, Harvey Hankins has been particularly idle recently, and he took up the disappearance case out of boredom.But he couldn't find the client's grandson after all his brains, and the client was a poor old man, not worth his painstaking efforts.
In order to keep his own brand, Harvey wanted to leave the case to Xing Huan.He was sure that Xing Huan would end in failure, so that the client would not blame him, let alone damage his reputation.
He was thinking like this, but he didn't know that his little thought was like a bright mirror in Xing Huan's eyes.
So it was difficult for a moment, Xing Huan nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Well, this is my brother Walter." Harvey continued, "I knew you would agree. So, I have already told the client your address, and he will arrive later."
Xing Huan flashed his blue eyes, and said pitifully, "Uncle Harvey, let him come back tomorrow. I haven't eaten yet, and I only have enough money to buy some vegetables." After that, he sighed He took a breath, and his stomach growled.
"How about that, I've already promised my client." Harvey didn't want to break his promise.
This time, Xing Huan didn't back down: "I'm really hungry, maybe I'll be sick tomorrow." He continued to pick fruits and ignored Harvey.
Harvey lives in the center of London. He came here today just to watch Xing Huan's jokes.However, he did not expect that Xing Huan would play delaying tactics with him... But after thinking about it, it was indeed he who agreed to the client without authorization, and even if Xing Huan refused, he would not have the slightest reason.
How could the great Uncle Harvey let his credibility be tarnished.Xing Huan hummed a little song in his heart, then turned and left the market.
Harvey chased after him with a cane, and shouted: "Brother Walter, how about it, since you helped me with a case, I invite you to the restaurant for dinner!"
"Okay, okay, let's go." Xing Huan took Harvey unceremoniously and turned into a high-end restaurant on the corner of the street.
Harvey had just had lunch and had no appetite at all, so he drank a little wine.Xing Huan enjoyed it with a big fish and meat, ordering the most expensive signature dishes in the restaurant.
Harvey immediately felt that he had been fooled, but he still had the courage to pay the bill, and cursed Xing Huan a hundred times in his heart, hoping that he would not lose too badly for a while!
After belching, Xing Huan walked back to Wucrow Street with vegetables and fruits in his arms, and then deliberately turned to ask the old man behind him: "Uncle Harvey, why are you following me?"
Harvey tried his best to keep smiling: "I just happen to be free today, so I'll just walk around your house and wait for the client by the way."
"Oh, didn't you say there was a big Scotland Yard case to deal with?"
"This……"
Before Harvey could make any excuses, Xing Huan got into the basement without looking back.
Harvey's face was ashen. He thought that Xing Huan would ask him about the details of the client, or steal from him before the client came to visit.I didn't expect Xing Huan to be so defiant, and really thought he could solve such a complicated disappearance case independently?
"I'll just stand here and wait to see how embarrassing you look!" Harvey muttered twice, guarding the door of the basement.
After a while, the client arrived as promised, an inconspicuous poor old man.Xing Huan invited him into the room, and shut Harvey out of the door.
"Mr. Burton, is there anything I can do for you?" Xing Huan sat back in his chair.
The old man looked at the house, then his eyes turned red, and he kept begging Xing Huan to find his long-lost grandson.
"I know he's dead, but I really want to know what happened to him. Otherwise, I won't even be able to sleep well, and I won't be at peace all day long!"
"I see, you can sit down first." Xing Huan pointed to another chair, "Before that, you must sign a contract with me - you must not tell anyone about my means of solving the case, including yours. Darling, do you understand what I mean?"
The old man nodded, eyes very confused.
After signing the contract, Xing Huan smiled evilly and said, "To be honest, I am actually a psychic detective. Rather than asking me to tell you what happened, let your grandson explain everything." Afterwards, he A touch of witchcraft was activated, and the room was suddenly blown by a gust of wind!
In the final analysis, to solve a case is to find out the truth, so why can't the undead speak directly?In general, only the dead know best how they died—and that's the beauty of psychic detectives.
"Ah!" The old man fled in fright, but found that the door could not be opened.Immediately afterwards, he heard a familiar child's voice: "Grandfather, I am here, look at me!"
"B...Bill?" The old man froze in place, then slowly turned around.
I saw that Bill Burton was sitting by the bed, his eyes were round and timid.
Xing Huan sat beside him and said with a smile: "Mr. Burton, you can ask Bill now, and he will tell you what happened."
The author has something to say: Wild Wolf: ...
Uncle: Don't worry, I won't tell Master Huanhuan.
