Chapter 3145 Detective's Career
Helen did not answer her sister with words, but stretched out her hand to her sister to make a gesture of no problem. So Grace put down the tablecloth again, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said to Shad:
"Sir, would you like me to take over now?"
The blue eyes showed a serious expression, and the stranger felt that this morning was ridiculous:
"I've been objecting to this from just now. Do we really want to play this game?"
"Of course, you said so. Since you've ignored us recently, you agreed to do whatever we do."
As she spoke, she reached down and held her sister's hand. Then, with a flash of red light, the two exchanged positions, and next to Xia De was Helen in a black dress. Xia De took a deep breath. He still liked ordinary mornings.
Today was the date with Grace and Helen, or more precisely, the date had started last night. However, the two sisters did not ask to go out on a date with Shad, but spent an ordinary day at home with Shad.
They ate breakfast together, read books together, and even cooked lunch for Shade at home at noon. The cooking skills of the two sisters were no better than those of professional maids. After all, eating was not necessary for relics. (Note)
After lunch, Xia De wiped the table and the two sisters washed the dishes. Then Xia De held them in his arms and took a nap. The cat was also very satisfied with this slow-paced life.
After waking up from a nap, the three of them and the cat worked together in Room 3 on the third floor to make the Potions homework that Shade needed to submit before the end of the year. The Potions homework for a Middle Ring warlock is no longer to repeat the production process step by step, which requires a certain amount of creativity and enthusiasm.
When Grace was making the "Blood Explosion Potion" in Shade, she proposed that this potion, which could make the drinker's blood explosive for a short period of time, could actually be suppressed by adding a stabilizer, and combined with the alchemical material "Flame Essence" to have people drink it secretly, and then turn it into a "bomber" directly after the stabilizer expires - in this way, a group of people could be assassinated at once.
Helen creatively improved the formula of the "Mind Suturing Potion", turning this potion, which was originally able to help victims recover forgotten or lost memories, into a powerful "memory cleanser" after reversing the effect.
“No, no, I don’t think I need such a big innovation. I don’t want to publish a paper directly.”
Shade declined the girls' kindness, but later when Hillis heard about it, he wanted to take the formula of "memory cleanser".
At dinner, Xia De invited the 18-year-old girl who had merged with him to have dinner at a restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue, and then went to Queen Maria Opera House with the girl who was dressed up to watch an opera performance. Of course, they didn't watch it in the box, but in the ordinary audience seats.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shad, Grace and Helen kissed goodbye in the hallway of their home, then escorted them to the entrance of the "space maze" in the basement and made an appointment to arrange another date of this scale before the end of the year.
After returning to the second floor, Shade told Luvia, who was planning to stay at home, what he had done today. The fortune teller concluded:
"It sounds very ordinary, but such ordinary days are the most romantic. But what do you mean by you only wore a shirt at home almost the entire day?"
Feeling that his life in the past half week was too decadent, Shad decided to do something serious on Thursday and went to visit the sacrificial site of the [Spiritual Order] on the top of the mountain.
It seemed that the first snow of this winter had fallen everywhere except Tobesk, and the sacrificial site hidden in the rocks had turned silvery white. However, the sacrificial site with stone walls, which should be quite cold in winter, was not cold at all inside, and it could even be said to be warm.
When Shad arrived at the bottom of the sacrificial site and saw Sister Defulin kneeling by the fire and meditating, the nun did not react at all to Shad's footsteps.
"I'm still sensing the location of the remaining First Flame flames."
She turned her back to Xia De and spoke softly. Miraculously, there was no echo when she spoke in such an empty sacrificial field:
"I need some time, please wait for my answer."
However, Xia De's visit was not without gain:
"Can you confirm how much of the remaining First Flame Flame has not been recovered?"
"Please hold my hand."
Shad came to the nun and saw her kneeling in front of the brazier and putting her hands into the fire, so Shad sat down opposite her and put his hands into the brazier.
Sister Defulin was a woman, so her hands were much smaller than Shad's. So Shad's big hands easily held the nun's hands. He closed his eyes and leaned forward, and three slender flames suddenly appeared in the darkness before his eyes.
They are not clear, but they are real and can be felt:
"Only the last three are left? Sister, if all the scattered First Flame flames are gathered, what will happen?"
The nun who had been lowering her head raised her head and "looked" at him:
"The primordial fire will become whole."
"Well then?"
Sister Defulin just shook her head slightly, and Shad stared at the hands he held in the fire, wondering if he should give her some hand cream as a gift at the end of the year.
"By the way, is there hand cream in this era?"
[So, have you calculated the number of gifts you will give out this year? ]
"She" whispered in Xia De's ear. Xia De hadn't calculated it yet, but it must be a very exaggerated number.
And he had to make sure that there were no duplicate gifts, and that the gifts given to each person had to be new, and he couldn't ask any of the girls for advice - this sounded even more difficult than fighting the Ancient One again.
(Little Mia is running.)
The first snow in Tobysk this winter has yet to arrive, but time is running as fast as little Mia in front of Shad's eyes.
It seemed as if in a blink of an eye, when he and Lecia went to the "Moon Sanctuary" to take a hot spring bath again, they no longer met the witches who had evacuated the forest. It also seemed as if in a blink of an eye, the Frost Moon had come to an end.
The Monday that ended the Battle of the Woodlands was the tenth of the month, but Shade did not waste the second half of the Frost Moon.
While he had nothing to do, his review progressed quite quickly - at least faster than Emilia who showed up at home every weekend. And with some free time, Shad finally resumed his detective career after a long absence.
It was one morning when Shad woke up with Dorothy and Luvia in his arms. The haggard woman who came to the Hamilton Detective Agency for help after being introduced by Dr. Schneider told him about her insomnia and the strange noises she always heard coming from under the house at night.
The outsider, who had handled many bizarre cases, thought that this time someone was unethical and dug a tunnel under someone else's house, or that there was some coveted buried treasure under the haggard fat woman's house. However, after he took his "detective assistant" Xiaomia for a field investigation, he unexpectedly discovered new circumstances.
"Why do I feel like every time I take a break after a major incident, I always encounter these weird and bizarre cases? Are these things waiting for me to have time to explode?"
The reason for the noise under the house is very scientific. There is a secret room under the basement of the old house in the eastern part of Tobesk that has not been discovered by the current owner. This secret room should be an "escape passage" built by the owner of the house in the distant war years to connect to the city's sewer pipes.
It's just that this place was closed at some unknown time, and the years of foundation settlement and the large temperature difference between day and night this winter caused the wall structure of the underground secret room to constantly shift slightly after nightfall, thus producing slight knocking sounds and low vibration sounds.
After Xia De directed the servants of his employer to dig up the secret room, dozens of bodies buried in the basement of her house finally saw the light of day amid the screams of the plump woman.
Based on the degree of decay of the bodies, the police officers at Redwich Field believed that they died in the spring of 1854. After the on-site investigation, they found that the bodies were not sent in from the house on the ground. The east wall of the secret room was the city's sewer pipe, and someone had opened the wall a year ago, sealed the bodies in the secret room, and then blocked the wall again.
This is an almost perfect place to hide a body. The remote location of the underground pipe makes it impossible for anyone to notice that the wall has been opened, and the blocked passage above the secret room is completely unnoticeable from inside the secret room.
Even the city sewer map preserved in the City Hall does not show the location of this secret room. However, when Miss Brown, a defected MI1060 agent and a victim of the "Purple Cabbage Incident", and her fiancé Mr. Feringa escaped from Tobesk with the help of Shad and Margaret, the sewer map given to Shad by Mr. Feringa, an engineer, had this secret room marked on it (Chapter ).
So on a dark and windy night, Xia De entered the sewer pipe with an oil lamp according to the map and conducted exploration. He found two more places where bodies were hidden in nearby pipes. Then, after being shot by the ambushers, he fought back and killed them. He learned through psychic communication that this matter involved a big shot.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation and having nothing to do, the "detective" Shad went to Yuewan City and found Mr. Feringa, who was now taking refuge in the "Eternal Light" organization and making a living with the coroner. He then learned about other people who might know the existence of the secret room or might have come into contact with this version of the map.
"I actually heard about this when I was still in MI6. It was one of Tobesk's dark sides."
This was a warning from senior agent Miss Brown, who is now a mother and is a night school teacher in the "Eternal Light" organization. However, she did not persuade Shade to ignore it, after all, the couple knew what kind of power young people have.
PS1: Chapter 1539 only says that the two sisters’ craftsmanship is better than Xia De’s, but it does not say that their craftsmanship is very, very good.
