Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 79 Coincidence
Tingen, Halsstrasse.

Klein followed Leonard into No. 62 Howers Street, and at the request of the other party, began to divination whether there was a secret compartment or a secret room in the room.

And the result is, there is!

"The secret compartment or secret room of this house."

Klein wrote down the new divination statement, then sat down on the edge of the sofa, and closed his eyes while reciting silently.

After seven times, he entered the dreamland.

In the gray world, Klein saw oak bookshelves and rows of books. One of the books was taken away, and the wooden surface next to it suddenly opened, revealing a hidden compartment.

"In the study."

Klein wrapped the citrine pendant, followed Leonard into the study room, and saw the oak bookshelf in the dream just now.

According to the scene in his sleep, Klein reminded Leonard to grope for a while, finally found the mechanism, and opened the secret compartment with a snap.

There is a letter in the dark compartment.

After pulling out the letter paper, Leonard flicked it and unfolded it. Klein moved closer and saw the contents of the letter paper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to give you game tips.

The hint is that I planted a bomb in the city of Tingen, a bomb that will grow stronger over time.

Go find it and solve it before it explodes. If the game fails, the whole city of Tingen will be turned into ruins with a bang.

—Your loyal friend Lanerus. "

"Bomb?" Klein looked at Leonard, wondering to himself.

Leonard put the letter in the sun, glanced over and over, but found no other clues:
"Bomb should just be a synonym. I've never heard of a bomb that keeps getting stronger."

……

Hilton District, Alter Street.

Lewis received the meal from Miss Windsor, who seemed to be quite grateful for what happened last night.

After eating, he continued to sit by the window, waiting for today's business to arrive.

It's a pity that the business didn't come to the door, and what he was waiting for was the famous detective Isengard Stanton.

"Mr. Stanton, what's the matter?" Lewis asked politely.

Essinger took off the half-height silk top hat, smiled and said:
"Hello, Mr. Lewis, I would like to seek your cooperation.

Not only did you rescue the kidnapped Mr. Dick, but you also investigated the death of Ms. Joan, which made me realize that you are a capable detective.

What's more, this case is related to Ms. Qiong. Judging from the modus operandi, the murderer may be the same person. "

"Cooperation?" Lewis didn't hide his astonishment. He knew that Essinger had discovered his abnormality.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't tell about his rescue of Mr. Dick.

Essinger nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The police have offered a reward of 2000 pounds for finding the murderer of the recent serial murder!"

Lewis was startled suddenly, two thousand pounds, which can almost be regarded as a sky-high price!

You know, since he traveled to this world, the total cash he earned will not exceed three thousand pounds, of which two thousand pounds were contributed by Miss Justice.

2000 pounds, this is enough to drive all the bounty hunters and private detectives in Backlund crazy!
"It's just that I don't know if this is the one that Klein took over later in the original book? If it is really that one, the murderer is not a human, but a demon dog."

Lewis couldn't help but start to diverge his thinking. It stands to reason that things shouldn't have progressed so fast, unless he rescued Mr. Dick, which caused some hidden factors to change.

"I recently took over a very troublesome case. I'm afraid I don't have free time, but I can participate in the discussion and analyze the clues."

After thinking about it, Lewis hurriedly said that he really didn't want to give up this attractive price, but he didn't even want to put himself in danger.

"No problem, this time I have summoned more than a dozen detectives, and I have enough manpower to do the investigation, and what I admire most is your excellent analytical and reasoning skills.

If the criminal can be caught and the bounty is won, I will distribute the reward reasonably according to everyone's contribution. "

"Happy cooperation." Lewis shook hands with the other party. As long as he didn't get directly involved, he shouldn't encounter too dangerous things himself.

Of course, the premise is that the ultimate target of this extraordinary event is not himself. If the ultimate target is really himself, then no matter how he hides, it will not help.

Reminiscent of the abnormality last night, Lewis was a little scared, and many recent things were too coincidental.

In itself, it was a coincidence to meet Miss Windsor on Alter Street, let alone find a dead stray dog ​​near Miss Windsor's house.

Thinking about it carefully, it was also a coincidence that he killed two members of the "Blood Worship Cult". When multiple coincidences are combined, it is hard not to wonder if he was plotted by some hidden existence.

Just like back then in Tingen City, under the guidance of the Sealed Artifact 0-08, he would always encounter unimaginable coincidences.

Of course, the coincidences in Tingen City are always well-founded, and he also knows the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But this time, not only did he not know the purpose of the man behind the scenes, he also didn't know anything about the man behind the scenes, and he didn't even know whether the current incident was targeting him.

"I'm curious, how did you find out that Mr. Dick was kidnapped? It took you only one day to investigate the East District." Essinger chatted.

Lewis suddenly realized that it turned out that Essinger hadn't discovered the truth that he was a transcendent at all, but simply felt that his ability was extraordinary.

"I don't think this is too difficult. When Ms. Joan Yarlin came to the detective agency for the first time, she was very nervous. I quickly guessed that there was something else going on.

Sure enough, after my investigation, Ms. Joan had already cheated. She was coveting Mr. Dick's family property, which was not a small sum.

After that, it's the normal elimination method, you know, the East District is a high-incidence place for kidnapping..."

Lewis explained it speciously. Of course, he would not tell Isinger that he found the other party by divination. This may reveal many secrets, including killing himself twice.

"So that's the case, Detective Lewis, I am amazed by your character, and I am even more impressed by your ability." Essinger said seriously.

He came here yesterday to inquire about Joan Arlin's case mostly to show off, but this young detective who knew all the truth, instead of revealing his contribution in the case, was unmoved by his sarcasm.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

After chatting for a while, Lewis glanced at his watch. He pretended to rush into the bathroom, wrapped the pendant around his hand, and silently read the words of divination.

"The investigation of the serial murder case will go well."

After reading it silently for a few times, Lewis saw that the pendant was turning clockwise, which meant affirmation.

"The demon murder case has something to do with me." Lewis recited the divination statement silently again, and he saw that the pendant turned counterclockwise, which meant that the answer to the divination was negative.

"Huh..." Lewis breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, there were not so many supernatural powers that would plot against him, it was just that he had a "phobia".
