[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

"Miss Martin, you have a new visitor." Francis' voice sounded in the room, causing Miss Martin, who was playing a puzzle game to herself, to raise her head.

"Oh, it seems that we finally have our honored guest." Miss Martin said happily, "What are you waiting for? Let us entertain him well."

The guest who came to visit her was Dr. Henry Morgan, whom Miss Martin had been waiting for.It has been a week since the incident happened.It now appears that the last case has been successfully solved.

Dr. Henry Morgan's visit came earlier than she had expected, for she had expected, with the doctor's cautiousness, that he would not come until he was fully prepared.But it doesn't matter, Miss Martin only cares about whether he will come to find her.

After all, he is a person who has lived for more than 200 years. He often knows some secrets that ordinary people don't understand, and this is exactly the information Miss Martin needs.

Dr. Henry Morgan, still in his woolen overcoat, sent himself to the door as soon as the request for a visit was answered.When he came to the building and found the corresponding floor, he politely knocked on the door, and he couldn't wait to push the door open after getting the promise.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to call on me, Dr. Morgan," said Miss Martin. "I thought Jo would be the first."

Hearing her calling Joe's name affectionately, Henry Morgan was secretly wary, but said flatly, "Unfortunately, I'm not the person you expected."

"Don't say that, of course I also welcome you. It seems that you have solved the mystery of that case." Miss Martin talked about the only connection between them, and first opened the topic "I can learn about this The follow-up to the case? You know, I'm a detective, and detectives have a curiosity like no other."

"I think there should be nothing to hide from you," Henry Morgan said.Then he honestly recounted the case as Miss Martin had requested.

The truth is dramatic enough and corny enough.As Miss Martin had guessed before, the deceased was a liar, and his purpose was to approach the rich man's daughter by pretending to be a nobleman, and trick the rich man's daughter who fell in love with him into marrying him, and then profit from it.

Contrary to what people think, in this fraud case, too many people moved their true feelings.Train a liar to pretend to be an accomplice of a nobleman, and fall in love with this perfect young man created by her; a liar who came with the purpose of deceiving, fell in love with the rich daughter in real love, and even wanted to tell her the truth; The rich man who loves his daughter is angry at the scammer's deception, but in order not to make his daughter sad, he chooses to help the scammer realize his daughter's princess dream.

In the end, when the young lawyer who loved the daughter deeply and worked for the rich man learned of the scam, he let his jealousy and anger control him and killed the liar.

It was really a dispute full of interests and emotions.

Henry Morgan babbled about the case to her, and Miss Martin seemed to enjoy listening to it, and finally she sighed with emotion, "Oh, love."

After satisfying her curiosity, she looked back at Henry Morgan and asked him, "So, Doctor Morgan, what is the purpose of your coming here? Did you come here to tell me the outcome of the case? The entrustment needs my help."

"Since you are a detective, then, I guess, you already know the purpose of my visit." Henry Morgan asked tentatively with his expression restored to solemnity and seriousness.

In his eyes, Miss Martin's initiative to exchange contact information with Joe was too eye-catching.

Has she guessed that her unusual behavior is threatening herself?

Not long ago, Henry Morgan met a dangerous person who held his true identity. At this moment, some sensitive actions could easily make him think too much.

"Could it be that you have some special identity?" Miss Martin's words sounded like a joke, but it was a blatant threat to the ears of those who knew.Henry Morgan, who was standing in front of her, already tensed his body.

"All right, Miss Martin." Francis' voice came from the loudspeaker, stopping his master's mischief.

Then Miss Martin's expression of high interest dropped from her face at once.She raised her hand and said, "Okay, I admit that I know your identity."

Miss Martin lowered her eyebrows, showing disapproval, "Isn't he just an old guy who has lived for more than 200 years?"

Henry had expected this for a long time, and made psychological preparations in case he was exposed, but he was still frightened by the other party's outspoken words, "I don't know you, how do you know?"

"Come on, old man, this is the information society." Miss Martin said deliberately in an American tone.

"But don't worry, I have no interest in your little secret. I swear to God, I will never reveal it." Miss Martin hastened to comfort him. "It's just that I can pretend that I don't know. As for other people, I can't guarantee it."

What she said seemed to be comforting, reminding, and more like a threat.

Henry Morgan's heart was lifted tightly.To be honest, before he came here, he was already mentally prepared to go around carefully with her, but now that the other party was so straightforward and frank, he was at a loss and even panicked.

Miss Martin snapped her fingers, and suddenly a photo was projected on the wall.That photo was a black and white photo full of historical traces, and the person who appeared on it was Henry Morgan himself, who was about the same age.But looking at the date this photo was taken, you will find that it was actually born in the last century,

This is extremely strong evidence that Henry Morgan has maintained such a fixed appearance and has lived for nearly 70 years so far.

"This is my sincerity." Miss Martin said, "Dr. Morgan, although you are very careful, you really need to clean up the historical traces of your existence, especially when your luck is still so bad."

"Should I thank you for your reminder?" Henry Morgan said with a frown.

"You're welcome. Anyway, I'm not the only one who found the evidence, right? You met a difficult partner." Miss Martin smiled, and then asked, "So, you want me to help you find out, your similar?"

Henry Morgan pondered for a while, and finally looked at the woman in front of him seriously, "If I say yes, do you accept my commission?"

Miss Martin silently produced a photograph.The photo was obviously a section of surveillance, and the man on it looked middle-aged, thin and gloomy.He wore a deerstalker hat, and half his face was hidden in shadow.For some reason, this man had a certain temperament similar to Dr. Morgan's.

It is the transparency and calmness that has been precipitated after experiencing the world's events and realizing the long-term changes of the times.It's just that Dr. Morgan is obviously not as dangerous as the other party looks.

The traces of this man that Francis found can only be traced back to 200 years ago.

"This person may have lived longer than you, and he is also more dangerous and crazy. At least, in the recorded unsolved cases, he should have participated in more than 8 of them." Miss Martin handed the photo to Dr. Morgan.

Photo of Henry Morgan, eyes wide open, breathing heavily.He looked up at Miss Martin, his eyes darting back and forth across the photograph.

It seems that the comer is really not good.Miss Martin rested her chin and watched the other party's reaction.

"He is cautious, mysterious, and dangerous," Henry Morgan said.

"So, if you need me, please feel free to ask for help." Miss Martin made a promise. "I'll be on your side."

Selling favors to an undead with rich experience in life, she will definitely make a profit without losing money.

"Then why did you take so much pains to find me here?" Henry Morgan put the photo in his arms.

"I'll just say it straight." Miss Martin straightened up.

She finally put away the polite smile on her face, and her expression became serious, "Dr. Morgan, you have lived for so long, you have been solving the mystery of death, and you have read all kinds of strange legends in the world. Therefore, I would like to ask you, have you ever come into contact with or heard of something like a magic mirror?"

Henry Morgan's face showed extreme astonishment. What he expected before was that there should be a very dangerous trap waiting for him to jump into.But now, Miss Martin asked him questions like a child addicted to fairy tales.

However, if you think about it carefully, Henry Morgan glanced around in his long memory, and found that there really seemed to be such a thing.

On the other side, Miss Martin, who wanted to get an answer, was still inducing him, "Please recall, whether such a thing existed in your memory, or whether you have heard similar rumors. That side has magic power, omniscience and omnipotence mirror, people can get the answers they want as long as they ask questions.”

Miss Martin continued to explain to him, "I have received a very important commission. This is a secret as important as your immortality. Leaving aside everything else, I have to find one without any clues. A mirror with magical powers, and the closest legend I can think of is such a mirror."

"To be honest, I'm just a death expert at best, and everything I'm looking for is to obtain eternal peace." Henry Morgan explained slowly, "So the magic mirror you mentioned doesn't exist. within the scope of my research."

"However, Miss Martin, you're in luck. I think I may know something about it, or have heard rumors of it. Of course, I must assure you that I've never seen a real The magic mirror." Henry Morgan sank into the sofa, his eyes erratic, and fell into distant memories.

That must have been about 30 years ago.At that time, he lived happily with his wife Abigail and their adopted child Abel, three unrelated people formed a perfect model family.But as time went by, as his son got older, as his wife got older, Henry, who remained the same in appearance, felt that he was out of place in the family.This incident brought more pressure on his wife, because Henry Morgan never grows old and remains young, while Abigail begins to wither slowly from the delicate flower when they first met.Henry thought of many ways to do this, trying to make the two of them look like a decent middle-aged couple.At the same time, he also began to study how to make himself old, or how to stop this endless death.Unfortunately, he tried many folk remedies, tried different experiments, and inquired about some extremely weird rumors.And they obviously didn't help, or do any harm to his special constitution.He is still the undead person who will be reborn from the water after death.

Then one day he had forgotten what a moment it was when he heard a strange rumor.Rumor has it that there is a magical mirror hidden deep in a certain church, as long as you pray to it seriously, you will be able to see the answer you are looking for from the mirror.

It sounds like the church is developing the means of Protestants, but Henry, who is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, is unwilling to give up any opportunity.So he carefully recorded this rumor and left it for his own research and search.

Slowly, he realized that there really seemed to be such a thing.Some people who are said to have obtained the answer from the mirror came back mysteriously and said to everyone, "Ah, I saw that magical mirror. It really knew what was thinking in my heart and gave me a perfect answer."

So Henry also set off to look for the mirror, but when he felt that he was about to approach his goal, the legendary mirror suddenly disappeared without a trace.Thus, a second rumor was born that the mirror could move by itself, and only the most devout believers could see its true appearance.Since then, the mirror has lost its trace and disappeared in the rumors.

After Ms. Martin finished listening, she couldn't help asking, "Then what about Dr. Morgan, have you heard anything strange?"

"No." Henry Morgan shook his head with a wry smile. "I've never heard of it again. It's like a dream. I even wonder if this is my delusion."

"It's just a little strange. If it's not my imagination, I don't know why I feel so close to make the mirror hide. Fate doesn't want me to find it and break the curse on me."

"I feel that the mirror is alive."
