Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity
Chapter 129: A commission with Detective Isengard
If Louise knew that her butterfly finally began to flap its wings, causing some trivial changes to the original story, what would she be in, and she would be happy, or confused...
Unfortunately, she has no way of knowing yet.
Throughout the day, Louise did only one activity: shopping.
The decoration of the house at No. 59 Egram Street was too simple, which did not match her personality, and was a little shabby, so Louise went out in person and came to the largest department store in Backlund, Philips Department Store.
Strange to say, no matter her past or present life, she has never been keen on shopping, but this time, she was quite happy shopping with the maid... Probably because she is rich now, she can easily buy whatever she wants. Next, do not have to consider the price issue...
Alas, the life of the rich is so simple and boring.
In the evening, the master and servant returned with a full load, and Louise unexpectedly discovered that Miss "Fortuneteller" had a serious expression on her face.
She restrained her smile and asked, "What happened?"
Catherine led her to the room. There was a khaki-colored package on the table, and there was a faint smell of blood from inside.
Louise's face froze, she stepped forward, and found that the package contained a dead heart, the size of a fist, the whole body was blood red, and the blood on the outside had already dried up.
She frowned, but she didn't feel much discomfort, and said firmly:
"This thing doesn't belong to humans."
"Who brought it?"
Catherine shook her head and explained seriously: "Someone left this package outside the door, and the servant found it. I thought there was a problem and opened it, which is how it is now."
"Can it be traced through divination?"
Louise asked, and closed the package, covering the slightly **** picture.
Catherine maintained the sensitivity of a "diver" and had already performed divination in the first place. She replied:
"After passing through the hands of too many people, the breath is mixed, and there is no way to divination."
Louise nodded lightly, Miss Diviner's answer was expected, because this package does not have the influence of extraordinary power, it seems to be just intimidating...
I just came to Backlund, and I didn't have time to enmity with others...
The first person Louise thought of was Major General Bright, but with the character of the other party, she would most likely come to the door in person and do it directly... Not to mention how could he find himself, I am not Joyce now, but Lu Ease...
As for the Viscount Connor and Miss Audrey, they must have nothing to do with this matter... Apart from that, there is only the owner of this house, Mr. Baron Bartley.
He fell into a trap that was carefully designed, and almost went bankrupt. His only daughter was cursed by an unknown Beyonder. If he hadn't met him, he would have been ruined...
Now that Bartley's father and daughter have gone to live in Dixie, the person who designed him has found him?
Louise didn't know many people in Backlund, and she quickly speculated in her mind the most likely cause of this intimidation incident, but she was still puzzled... Is this necessary?
I'm not satisfied with defrauding other people's property... Even if you really want to kill them all, go after Dixie, bully me, a poor "ordinary person" who rents a house...
"How to deal with it?" Katrin asked aside.
Louise thought for a few seconds, smiled, and said:
"It's natural to find a professional to handle this kind of thing."
Professionals... cops? If a wild Beyonder went to the police, wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net... Katrin thought in surprise.
Of course, Louise wouldn't go to the police, not because she was afraid of trouble, but because she felt that the efficiency of the police in this era was too slow. The "professionals" in her mouth meant detectives, and detectives who were extraordinary...
One of Backlund's most famous detectives, a member of the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom, Detective Isengard.
Because Louise is most familiar with this great detective, and she also considers that there may be extraordinary factors involved in this matter, it is not a good idea to involve ordinary detectives... And Detective Isengard can be with Sequence Five The "Apostle of Desire" has been confronted for a long time, even if there is danger, it will not be fatal...
If it wasn't for Klein who hadn't come to Backlund yet, maybe he could take care of Mr. Fool's business... Well, let's forget it, handing it over to Klein might cause a lot of trouble!
…………
"Dear miss, is there anything I can do for you?"
Walking into the detective's office, a well-dressed servant stepped forward to greet him.
Louise smiled and responded, "I want to issue a commission, is Detective Isengard here?"
The footman replied in the affirmative: "Yes."
"Come with me, do you like coffee, or black tea?"
"Let's have black tea." Louise walked into the living room and asked aloud as she watched the footman skillfully brewing black tea:
"You are Detective Isengard's assistant, what's your name?"
The valet put the steaming black tea on the table, and politely responded, "My name is Abu, and I'm Mr. Detective's newly recruited assistant."
"Thank you."
Louise said that she immediately took a sip. It was indeed a great detective's office. The quality of the black tea was quite good.
Soon, Detective Isengard with blue eyes and white temples appeared and said enthusiastically, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, a customer has just left."
"You're welcome." Louise stood up and responded politely.
Dear, this chapter is not over, there is still another page ^0^ The two of them were seated as the host and guest, and Isengard asked formally: "What commission do you want to issue?"
Louise motioned to Miss Diviner behind her to open the package in her hand and explained:
"Yesterday, someone dropped this package at my door. I want to know who is the owner of it?"
Isengard glanced at the withered heart in the package, turned his head to look at Louise with a dull face, pondered for a few seconds, took out his pipe, but did not light it.
"This is like a method of a certain gang in Backlund, who have you provoked recently?" he asked in a deep voice.
"As expected of a well-known great detective in Backlund!"
Louise smiled and complimented, and then began to tell her own experience:
"Not long after I came to Backlund, I bought a house on Egram Street. The original owner was Mr. Baron Bartley. He owed a lot of debts because of gambling, and he disappeared after selling most of his property..."
"Besides, I haven't had time to make friends in Backlund, so according to my guess, this package may be related to this matter. As for the more detailed process, I will entrust you to investigate."
Isengard played with the pipe in his hand and listened to Louise's emotionless narration. Experience told him that the woman in front of him might not be simple. After all, when a normal rich lady encounters such a thing, how can she be so calm... There is no explanation about how to deal with the results of the investigation~www.NovelMTL.com~ is enough to prove that it has no fear...
"For a week, the commission fee is seventy pounds."
Then, the thin-cheeked Isengard added: "Because it involves nobles, most detectives will not accept this commission, so the price will be relatively high."
Louise naturally wouldn't bargain, she took out thirty pounds of cash:
"It is because I heard about your reputation that I came here. This is the first deposit. I look forward to your investigation results."
"Pleasant to work with."
"Happy cooperation, if there is news, I will inform you in time."
Isengard stood up to say goodbye, watching the back of Louise leaving, took out a brass ornament from his pocket and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, replacing the smooth-surfaced pipe before.
The brass ornament was a pocket-sized open book with an upright eye in the center.
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
