Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 114 Guessing and Delegating

"Sure enough, Leonard is not very serious, but his eyes are quite sharp. Klein is indeed different from other Nighthawks."

After locking the door, changing the dress that was specially purchased for this dinner, and putting on a light indoor suit, Angel returned to the living room, sat on her favorite sofa by the window, and thought under the dim light.

Before accepting the gift and preparing to leave, the few words Klein said kept lingering in her heart.

After all, it sounds a bit like threats and provocations...

However, there are a few things that can be confirmed. First of all, Klein should have mastered the "acting method". He said that he "digested" the potion, not the "mastery" that ordinary Extraordinary people say, and he claimed to have digested the sequence 9. The "Seer's" potion, it's not even a month since he took the potion and became an Extraordinary!

Secondly...

Thinking of what the other party said, "I will catch up with you as soon as possible", Angel couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

"He must know that I have been promoted from assassin to instigator!"

Combined with the change of Klein's attitude towards himself after he returned to Tingen from Enmat Port, and the look he gave from time to time when he talked about the "instigator" during the process of tracking the altar of curses, Angel confirmed this point even more.

Could it be that he is similar to the high-sequence Extraordinary who lost his memory, Mr. Ards, and also has the ability to see whether others are Extraordinary at a glance, and even see the level of the sequence?

But considering that the time for the other party to become a Extraordinary is too short, the possibility of this is really very low.

"Or, did he confirm my current situation through divination?"

Angel leaned on the sofa, looked at the gas lamp on the wall, and muttered to himself.

But he has a "magic pocket watch" that can resist divination. From the fact that Tomacs has escaped from the "Mechanical Heart" many times, it can be seen that the effect of this magical item should be good.

Touching the pocket watch that was tied to his left wrist all the time except for bathing and sleeping, Angel felt that he was starting to have a headache.

Fortunately, Klein doesn't seem to have much hostility toward him, which is the best news so far.

Speaking of which, I have already saved him twice, and at today's dinner party, Klein treated him very well, and even accepted his gift just now...

Tilting his head and looking in the direction of No. 2 Narcissus Street, Angel sighed.

To catch up with me, to advance to Sequence 8?

Then I will be promoted to Sequence 7 in advance.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After summing up the experience of playing "Assassin", performing "anti-assassination", completing digestion, and finally being promoted to the instigator much faster than expected, Angel has confirmed a fact:
This body retains a considerable amount of "acting experience".

Cole Granger started from taking the assassin potion and becoming an Extraordinary. Even if he learned about the "acting method" from Mrs. Sharon, it took him a year to plan and assassinate more than a dozen people before digesting the potion.

And "Angel Granger" only took half a month.

She believed that it would not even take a month to be promoted from instigator to Sequence 7, "Witch", as long as she found a suitable playing method.

"Let me see if you are faster or I am faster..."

Thinking of Klein arranging his dress confidently in front of his house, Angel's smile grew even stronger.

------

Champagne Street, North District, "Jules Detective Agency".

Angel, who was wearing a cloak and a hood, was led by the front desk to the reception room, where he sat on a comfortable single sofa and drank the coffee that had been kept warm. Not long after, a man in his thirties came from another A door on one side entered the room.

"Hello, is this Miss Angel Granger? I'm Booth Jules."

The man wears round glasses and a thin windbreaker that is common in this weather. Under the open windbreaker is a light-colored shirt. He does not wear a top hat, and his short black hair is meticulously arranged.

He stretched out his right hand to Angel, and the latter raised his head and stretched out his hand to hold it back. When he saw Angel's face, the detective's eyes behind the glasses froze for a moment, and then he sat stiffly on the other side of the coffee table. on the sofa.

If I had known that I hadn't taken off the hood, I shouldn't be drinking this cup of coffee...

Angel felt a little regretful.

"I have heard about the commission. Do you want to find all the houses with certain characteristics in Tingen City and mark them all on the map?"

Detective Jules asked softly with his legs raised and his expression returning to normal.

Angel took out the sketch from Klein, placed it on the coffee table, and nodded.

"Yes, it has dark red chimneys, lawns and gardens around it, and it may be in the city of Tingen, or it may be in a nearby suburb, but it will not be too far away."

"Not only do they have to be marked on the map, but I also need their recent situation, has anyone moved in or left recently, who is the landlord, and it is best to have contact information."

Detective Jules took the sketch, pushed his glasses, and studied it carefully.

"Hmm... the painting is very good, but it lacks the required features. Only the chimney can determine the color, and the roof is very vaguely painted. It would be much easier to find the color of the roof or wall..."

Muttering to himself, the detective seemed to have forgotten that the client was sitting across from him, and closed his eyes directly, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, as if he was trying to calculate some difficult problem in his mind.

Angel took a sip of coffee and waited patiently.

"No problem, we have accepted this commission."

After a long time, the detective opened his eyes, put down the sketch, and said with a smile on his face.

"The entrustment is not complicated, but it takes time and manpower to run through the entire city, even the wider suburbs."

"I have two plans here. One will take longer, but the total entrustment fee will be lower; the other is on the contrary, we will try our best to find all the houses at full speed, but the cost..."

"I need to find it 'ASAP'."

Angel interrupted Jules' introduction without hesitation.

"No problem. I estimate that this commission can be completed in 3 to 5 days. The total commission fee is 30 pounds. Due to the large number of people involved, half of it needs to be paid in advance."

30 pounds... This is much more expensive than the detective agency Klein found... Even if I only need half of it as an upfront fee, it will almost spend all my cash... I hope it is worth the money, after all, Mrs. Green praised them Plus.

Angel felt a little heartbroken, but this matter was related to the so-called "uncoordinated fate" between herself and Klein, so she still decided to spend such a sum of money.

She fumbled under her cloak, produced three five-pound notes, and handed them to Inspector Jules.With the 5 pounds given out, she almost became a "paycheck" and had to wait until next week for her salary.

The latter took it and put it in his arms after carefully identifying the authenticity.

"Okay, I have received the upfront fee. Please fill out this form. We will start the investigation later today. If you are in a hurry, you can come over in three days to check on the progress, even if it has not been completed by then. If you entrust, we will also summarize the data collected in advance and hand it over to you."

Jules greeted a lady in her early twenties at the front desk, and the other party quickly sent a power of attorney with detailed content and clear rights and responsibilities.

This is much more professional than the grass-roots team of our Nighthawks on the surface... It's really hard to think that Mrs. Green was willing to entrust this detective agency with the Blackthorn Security Company last time she saw it...

Angel slandered while filling out the form.

By the way, since they are very professional here...

Angel suddenly put down his pen, raised his head and looked at Detective Jules, who was taken aback by her eyes, and subconsciously straightened his back.

"Is there anything else?"

"Do you have any information on the gangs or illegal organizations in Tingen City?"
