Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 79 Coincidence
Tingen, Haus district.

Klein followed Leonard into No. 62 Howers Street, and at the other party's request, he began to divine whether there was a hidden compartment or secret room in the room.

And the result is, there is!

"A secret compartment or secret room in this house."

Klein wrote down a new divination statement and then sat down on the sofa, reciting it silently while closing his eyes.

After seven times, he entered a dream.

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 secret compartment.

"In the study."

Klein wrapped the topaz pendant and followed Leonard into the study. He saw the oak bookshelf in his dream.

Based on the scene in his dream, Klein reminded Leonard to fumble around for a while, and finally found the mechanism and opened the secret compartment with a snap.

There was a letter in the secret compartment.

Leonard pulled out the letter and unfolded it with a flick of his finger. Klein moved closer and read the contents of the letter.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to give you a hint of the game.

The hint is that I have placed a bomb in Tingen City, a bomb that will grow stronger over time.

Go find it and kill it before it explodes. If you fail, the whole city of Tingen will be reduced to ruins with a loud bang.

——Your loyal friend Lanevus."

"Bomb?" Klein looked at Leonard and asked to himself in confusion.

Leonard placed the letter in the sun, flipped it over and over, and looked at it several times, but found no other clues:
"Bomb should just be a synonym. I have never heard of a bomb that can become stronger and stronger."

……

Hilton District, Ault Street.

Lewis received the food sent by Miss Windsor, who seemed quite grateful for what happened last night.

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

Unfortunately, no business came, and what he waited for was the famous detective Isinger Stanton.

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

Isengard took off his half-high silk hat and said with a smile:
“Hello, Mr. Lewis, I would like to cooperate with you.

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

Moreover, this case is related to Ms. Qiong, and judging from the modus operandi, the murderer may be the same person."

"Cooperation?" Lewis did not hide his surprise. He knew that Isengard had discovered his abnormality.

Otherwise, the other party would not have told him that he had saved Mr. Dick.

Isengard nodded and said in a deep voice: "Find the murderer of the recent serial murder case. The police have offered a reward of 2000 pounds!"

Lewis was suddenly shocked. Two thousand pounds, this could almost be considered a sky-high price!

You know, since he came to this world, the total cash he earned would not exceed 2000 pounds, of which pounds were contributed by Miss Justice. pounds, this is enough to drive all the bounty hunters and private detectives in Backlund crazy!
"But I wonder if this is the case that Klein later took over in the original book? If it is really that case, the murderer is not a human, but a demon dog."

Lewis couldn't help but start thinking divergently. Logically, things shouldn't have progressed so quickly, unless he rescued Mr. Dick and caused some hidden factors to change.

"I recently took over a very troublesome case, so I'm afraid I don't have any spare 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 want to put himself in danger even more.

“No problem. I have assembled more than a dozen detectives this time. We have enough manpower to conduct the investigation, and what I appreciate most is your excellent analytical and reasoning abilities.

If we can catch the criminal and get the bounty, I will distribute the rewards reasonably according to everyone's contribution."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Lewis shook hands with the other party. As long as he didn't get directly involved, he himself shouldn't encounter anything too dangerous.

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 be of no avail.

Considering the anomaly of last night, Lewis was a little scared. Many things happened recently were too coincidental.

It was a coincidence in itself to meet Miss Windsor on Ort Street, not to mention that the dead stray dog ​​was found near Miss Windsor's house.

If you think about it carefully, his killing of two members of the "Blood Cult" was just a coincidence. When multiple coincidences are combined together, it is hard not to wonder if he was being plotted against by some hidden existence.

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

Of course, there is always a reason for the coincidences in Tingen City, 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 mastermind behind the incident, he also had no idea who was behind it and he didn't even know if the current events were targeting him.

"I'm curious about how you found out that Mr. Dick was kidnapped. It only took you one day to investigate the East District." Eisinger started chatting.

Lewis suddenly realized that Isengard had not discovered the truth that he was a transcendent, but simply felt that his abilities were 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, and I quickly guessed that there was something else going on.

Sure enough, after some investigation, I found out that Ms. Joan had been cheating on her husband for a long time. She was coveting Mr. Dick's property, which was not a small amount.

After that it’s just a matter of elimination. You know, the East District is a hotspot for kidnappings…”

Lewis gave a specious explanation. Of course, he would not tell Isengard that he found the opponent through divination, which might reveal many secrets, including his two murders.

"So that's how it is, Detective Lewis. I am amazed by your character and even more impressed by your ability," Eisinger said seriously.

He came here yesterday to ask about Joan Arlin's case probably to show off, but this young detective who knew all the truth not only did not talk about his contribution to the case, but was unmoved by his sarcasm.

"Please wait a moment. I'm going to the bathroom."

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

"Investigating serial murder cases will go smoothly."

After repeating it silently several times, Lewis saw the pendant rotate clockwise, which meant affirmation.

"The demon murder case is related to me." Lewis recited the divination sentence again. He saw that the pendant was rotating counterclockwise, which meant that the answer to the divination was negative.

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

As expected, there weren't so many extraordinary powers that would plot against me. I was just suffering from "Monophobia".
