Whispering Poems.

Chapter 29 Gamblers
Dr. Clay was a middle-aged man, slightly older than fifty.His figure is a bit bloated, but it is well controlled under the limit of "fat".

It's just that there is no hair on his head, so he wears a very obvious brown wig, which makes his eyes always look upwards involuntarily when talking to him at close range.

"Dr. Schneider is definitely not coming back today?"

Xia De, who was holding the cat, was reluctant to confirm that the orange cat Mia had probably never been on a similar occasion, and now her eyes widened with great interest.

"Yes, when the earl's butler came to invite Bill, he had already stated the time for this visit."

The doctor repeated.

"And do you know a friend of Dr. Schneider's, Miss Dorothy Louisa? Do you know where she lives?"

Shade asked again, if the doctor can't be found, then other ring warlocks in the same group can also.Concerning the Cthulhu statue, he must find someone who can handle this matter carefully.

"Yes, of course I know. She is a frequent visitor to our clinic and often comes to visit because of problems with anorexia and insomnia. But I can't give out patient information at will."

Dr. Clay said apologetically, and Shard also knew that his request was too much, so he could only choose to leave a message to Dr. Schneider.

The Evil God statue with the remnants of the old god, although it is not a [relic], its value is still quite large.

Even if the academy does not recommend ring warlocks to obtain the four elements by touching such strange items, those professors with nine rings or above in St. Byrons College with tenure-track positions may pass through the remnants of the old gods and will belong to The stories of the old gods are written in powerful language.

This is definitely much safer than Shard being directly affected by the remnants of the old gods today, so whether it is worried about the purpose of Mrs. La Soya, or just want to contribute by reporting this matter, it is necessary to let Schneider as soon as possible. Doctors know about this.

But since the doctor is not there, we can only wait patiently.It is impossible for Xia De to report this matter directly to the church, not because he cares about the statue of the bloody old god being taken away by the church, but because he really doesn't know how to report anonymously.

"But the doctor will be back tomorrow, and it probably won't be a problem if you wait another day."

With this thought in his arms, he left the doctor's psychological clinic with the cat in his arms.But there was always a sense of unease in his heart, which made Shade almost get hit by a carriage at the intersection because he was distracted on the way back to Sainte-de-Land.

Xia De walked out of the house early in the morning, but because the request to find the orange cat was too smooth, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned home.

He and Mia both had lunch outside, so there is nothing to do right now.

Xia De put the cat at home, and Mia was quite used to the unfamiliar environment, rolling around on the sofa, or looking around in every corner of the room.

Xia De recorded the entire process of this cat-hunting commission in detail in the ledger and record book left by the detective, and wrote it in strict accordance with the format of the previous detective.

After I finished writing, I looked through the detective's past records, and planned to complete the remaining two simple entrustments, that is, the girl who ran away from home and the search for a doctor.

That way, after obtaining the textbooks sent by the Academy on Wednesday, they'll have time to investigate the detective's past acquaintances for possible secrets that Sparrow Hamilton may be hiding.

So Shade spends his afternoon sorting through all of the former detective's belongings and valuing his property.In the evening, I took the cat out to eat again. On the way back, I bought some breadsticks at the bakery near the square, and served it with the milk in the morning for breakfast.

Of course, we can't forget about the high-end cat food. Now that he has received the money, Xia De will take care of that orange kitten seriously.

Therefore, within two days of coming to this world, Shade has become a young detective with a cat and a job who lives in the central square of the kingdom's capital.

"Thinking about it this way, my luck is actually pretty good... I just don't have any money."

In the evening, I spent on continuing to study [Time and Space] and [Silver Moon].Because I came into contact with the remnants of the old gods today, the accumulated [miracle] elements were transformed into more spirits, making the silver light on my fingertips even more dazzling.

But still no attack power, the lighting is enough.

Shade also tried the ability to ignite the paper, which was also enhanced by the acquisition of power.Although the young orange cat was frightened by the heat of the paper in Xia De's hand, and hid in Xia De's arms and refused to leave, Xia De was very happy about it.

This kind of study was terminated at almost nine o'clock that night.At that time, Xia De was sitting in the study reading the doctor's notes and was troubled by the doctor's cursive writing when he heard the bell downstairs ringing.

The cat, which was lying dormant on the table, immediately got under the table, as if frightened.

Xia De comforted the timid Mia, walked out of the room in doubt, and walked down the stairs to the foyer on the first floor.

"Could it be that the doctor returned to the city early and saw my message?"

But no, after the door was opened, there was a nervous, short, yellow-haired middle-aged man in a black coat. This was probably the client who came to find Detective Sparrow Hamilton.

Shade's first official commission came to the door.

The man's name was Raggett Franklin, an accountant living in the west of the city of Tobesque, working in "Hunt and Rolla's Textile Factory".This is not the first time he has come here for a commission, and he is also acquainted with Detective Sparrow Hamilton, so he was very shocked by the death of the former detective after being invited in by Shard and served with black tea.

"Sudden illnesses, even without effective treatment."

This is the former detective's explanation for his own death. Medical care in this era is not developed, and doctors' treatment methods have just come out of the routine of "bloodletting" and "irrigation", so people they know suddenly die of illness. , is not a very rare thing.

"I am the detective's nephew in my hometown. I have inherited this detective agency. Uncle Sparrow entrusted it to me before he died."

Xia De introduced the identity made up by the former detective. Seeing that Mr. Franklin believed this statement, he asked:

"Although Uncle Sparrow is gone, I can also complete the commission with a cheaper price. Excuse me, why are you here so late?"

I don't know if I was moved by Xia De's sincerity or the promise of "cheaper", the middle-aged accountant hesitated before talking about his own affairs.

Although they lived in the capital, the Raggett Franklin family was just an ordinary family in the northern pearl of the old continent.Mr. Franklin, the husband, earned his living as an accountant, and Mrs. Franklin worked as a scribe in a nearby private library.

The only child in the family, little Franklin, is the biggest headache for the husband and wife. He was originally a good child in the family, but since he met a group of friends on the street, he hangs with them all day, and gradually becomes infected. Get into the habit of gambling, hang out in night clubs and underground casinos, steal money from home and squander it.

Mr. Franklin came here twice before for commissioning, the first time was to let detective Sparrow Hamilton look for little Franklin who had not come home for three days, and found it in the underground casino in the slum in the north of the city.The second time was for the detective to bring out little Franklin who had been in the "Lucky Southern Cross Club" for three days.

The club's main business was alcohol, but at night it became an underground casino.
