"ah?"

Shade looked at him in surprise.

"Otherwise, wouldn't we be at a huge loss if we turned down other guests' reservations because of you?"

If it hadn't been for the discovery that the boy's prediction was very accurate regarding Henry Val's matter, Shade would have really suspected that he had fallen into a fraud trap.

Take a deep breath:

"Okay, I'll pay."

So he got a metal brooch with a crow mark as a voucher for the appointment. But when he turned around to leave with an umbrella, Shade still thought that he would always suspect that he had been scammed until he actually saw the boy next Sunday.

.

On Friday, I just confirmed the appointment with the boy who could witness death at Fort Midhill, and then returned home. Although it was still raining in Fort Midhill, the weather in Tobesk was already clear.

In the afternoon, a new client came to the house. The Drax family, who lived in the West District of Tobesk, commissioned Shade to help find their lost pet cat. The twelve-year-old boy at home had been crying sadly. When he opened the door to himself, he accidentally let the cat go.

I ran away feeling extremely guilty.

The Drax family was introduced to the Drax family by the old lady Mitra who entrusted Shade to find cats last time. They have their own store and a small factory in Nancheng District, specializing in manufacturing and selling metal bolts and nuts for steam engines. Although the product is single,

But the goods can even be exported to Kasenlik, so they belong to a relatively wealthy family.

When Shade signed the commission contract, he asked for a high commission fee of 13 pounds. On the one hand, this was because the lost cat was a very expensive breed, at least more expensive than urban orange cats like Mia. On the other hand,

It's because Shade promised to find the cat within three days, and if he couldn't find the cat, he would refund the deposit without taking a penny.

For him, it was just a waste of time, so he dared to promise like this.

But it didn't take Shad three days at all. He successfully found the cat on the roof three blocks away from Drax's family the next morning, Saturday morning.

To be more precise, when Shade passed under the roof, the dark blue cat that looked very similar to the so-called "Persian cat" in the hometown of foreigners immediately jumped from the roof of the apartment building to the second floor window sill, and then jumped

He went to the soft cloth ceiling of the shop facing the street, and finally came to the ground to meow affectionately around Shade.

"If Sparrow Hamilton is a detective who specializes in investigating mistresses, then I am a detective who specializes in finding pet cats."

When Xia De received the commission fee, he was thinking in his mind. After completing the commission, Xia De continued to maintain his perfect investigation completion rate.

"Speaking of which, I have met almost all the acquaintances I may encounter at Fort Midhill, but I have only not met Miss Black who is on vacation."

This is the last remaining commission left by Detective Sparrow, to find the person involved in Miss White's missing sister, Miss Black. Of course, she is not actually missing, she just had a quarrel with her sister, so she ran away to live outside.

"I probably won't meet her at Fort Midhill. When Miss Black returns to Tobesk, I will end this commission at any cost. I hope the client, Miss White, will not go on vacation too," he said.

Come on, I still don’t seem to know what these two ladies look like.”

Shade thought to himself as he prepared to walk home along the street. After lunch, he would go to the doctor for a meeting.

The carriage passed by him, and most of the people on the street changed into autumn clothes. The southern part of Tobesk is probably the industrial area of ​​Tobesk. The people here are mixed. Not only can you see people wearing formal clothes and holding canes on the street

You can also see upper-class gentlemen, middle-class clerks who are decently dressed, and urban lower-class workers with patched clothes.

【So, what if she can't come back?】

she asked softly in her ear.

There is hazy mist on the streets. In autumn, due to the influence of monsoons and temperature differences, urban smog conditions are worse than in summer.

"Are you saying that Miss Black might also encounter an accident because of the incident at Fort Midhill? Oh, this is indeed possible. It is too dangerous there now."

Shade was lost in thought, but he did not forget to pick some fruits from the fruit stand on the street corner. He planned to give a few bottles of fruit juice as gifts to other members of the group.

The autumn semester was a bit boring compared to the summer semester when exams were about to take place. During the study meeting on Saturday afternoon, no one had any need to contact the college. After Augustus was safe, the college no longer informed Dr. Schneider.

Regarding the incident at Fort Dehill, doctors who didn't know what happened there would naturally not inquire about it. This resulted in the study meeting that afternoon ending in less than an hour.

Luvia shared the current status of her autumn astrology activities with everyone, and was worried that the recent rain and dark clouds covering the sky would delay her progress; Shade reported on the current situation of Priest Augustus at Fort Midhill and

The fruit wine he brought was distributed to everyone; the doctor had already calculated the full phase of the yellow moon, and planned to hold a formal ceremony around the end of next month to promote the promotion from the fifth ring to the sixth ring. Dorothy was a little faster.

The promotion ceremony of the fourth ring to the fifth ring does not require such harsh moon phases, but because the words of sublimation in series are related to the "little match girl", she hopes to get Shade's help.

Dorothy has prepared all the ceremony materials, and has made an appointment with Shad to hold the ceremony on Sunday night, that is, tomorrow night, at No. 6 St. Teresa Square.

Before leaving the group meeting at the end, Shade had a separate conversation with the doctor and asked him about demons:

"Doctor, do you know the evil spirit demon - Zakato the Devourer?"

The blood Granny Cassandra gave Shad was the blood of this demon.

"of course I know."

The doctor, who had a lot of knowledge about demons, looked at Shade in surprise from the window in the corridor:

"Why are you asking this?"

"What would happen if you drank its blood?"

"Um?"

The doctor was even more surprised:

"Detective, are you crazy? You want to drink the blood of the devil?"

"I just want to know what will happen if I drink this demon's blood?"

Shade asked cautiously.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it, this question is really strange."

The blue-eyed doctor made a gesture of listening:

"Theoretically speaking, drinking a small amount of demon's blood won't be a big problem. After all, although the evil spirits of the Third Age are weird, they are not all poisonous. As for the demon you mentioned, it is not famous.

The most famous thing in his life was that in the distant Fourth Age, he tricked the king of a small country into giving up all his people and swallowed up an entire country through trade."

Shade was immediately speechless:

"Great appetite, so where is it active now?"

The doctor smiled and said:

"I know this. This is a very famous story. Around 230 in the Sixth Age, when it was moving in the material world, it met another great person and then disappeared."

"Who did you meet?"

"The one who appeared in this city in the summer."
