Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 165 Booklet

After agreeing on the price, Klein left the newspaper. After paying the advertising fee, Klein's weekly salary for that week was basically gone.

Luckily, I can get the bounty tonight... Klein sighed inwardly... Otherwise, I'd have to rely on my sister for help...

Klein clenched his cane in pain and walked towards the subway station.

As people walked along the street, Klein suddenly felt as if he was being scrutinized. Although it was only for a moment, Klein was certain that he was not mistaken. He raised his head as usual, secretly searching for the observer.

A little blonde girl in obviously ill-fitting clothes was standing by the street. She was very thin and seemed to be only eight or nine years old. The overly large clothes covered half of her face. Her pair of blue eyes were quietly observing the pedestrians on the road.

Although she was very young, the girl's movements were very stealthy and she didn't look like a novice.

Klein frowned slightly, then quickly adjusted his expression. He casually glanced at the girl, secretly memorizing her features. He was about to leave and look for an opportunity to follow her, but he didn't expect the girl to take the initiative to walk up to Klein.

"Sir, sir."

The girl looked around mysteriously, then quietly stretched out her hand hidden in her coat, revealing a booklet.

"Sir, would you like to buy some newspapers?"

press?

Klein's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the newspaper. The cover featured a shy girl in a goose-yellow dress, much like the covers of the romance novels Klein had seen in his previous life.

Does a newspaper need to be so cautious?

Klein was puzzled and asked tentatively, "How much is the price?"

"Only 5 pence." The girl held out her coat with her other hand and extended five fingers.

The price is acceptable... Klein hesitated for two seconds, then ultimately bought the newspaper... Might as well buy it and see what's inside...

Klein took the newspaper from the girl and was about to flip through it, but the little girl immediately stopped him.

"No, sir, you can only watch it when you get home." The girl said hurriedly.

"Why?" Klein asked, feigning confusion. "Is there something illegal in this?"

"Yes," the little girl pulled her clothes, pulled the collar to the bridge of her nose, and whispered, "I want to go home and see it."

Klein was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the girl to admit it directly.

He stared blankly at the cover of the newspaper. The shy beauty had a pair of affectionate eyes, as if she was looking at her lover affectionately.

Could it be!

Klein suddenly felt the "newspaper" in his hand was a little hot. He asked uncomfortably, "Who told you this?"

"elder brother."

What kind of brother would teach his sister these things! She is only eight or nine years old, and he lets his sister sell pornographic books!

They are also a pair of poor siblings...

Klein took out three pennies distressedly and handed them to the girl. "Here's a tip."

"Thank you, you are such a kind man!" The girl looked extremely happy. She took the tip with one hand and thanked Klein. Then, she ran back to the street in an awkward manner, looking for her next buyer.

Klein guessed the girl must have a few "newspapers" under her coat, which was why her running posture was so awkward. He glanced down at the "newspapers" in his hand, his face suddenly flushed. He looked around guiltily, then rolled up the booklet and put it in his coat pocket.

Fortunately, the booklet is small enough to fit in a pocket... Klein thought thankfully as he reached into his pocket and grabbed the booklet to prevent any accidents.

If something unexpected happens, the identity of Sherlock Moriarty will be unusable.

Walking down the street with a pornographic book hidden on my body is a strange experience... Klein thought with extreme embarrassment, praying in his heart that nothing unexpected would happen and that he wouldn't be discovered.

Perhaps the gods heard Klein's prayers, and after a terrifying journey, Klein returned home safely.

Since he couldn't enter the house through the main entrance as Sherlock Moriarty, Crane chose to climb through the window.

The "magician"'s nimble body allowed him to enter the house easily. Klein's heart was still tense the moment his feet touched the ground. He carefully walked around the house and finally felt relieved after confirming that Ruirui was not there.

But he still didn't take out the booklet. Instead, he quickly went upstairs, locked himself in the room, and then took out the booklet with a sense of relief.

Well... I'll do some research...

With hidden anticipation, Klein opened the cover.

The first page did not contain the affectionate scenes between a man and a woman that Klein had imagined, but rather a black and white photo.

In the photo, a row of people from the Southern Continent were fleeing in panic, while a row of people behind them were shooting them with rifles. Judging from their clothes, these people were just ordinary people, and the youngest among them was a baby in swaddling clothes. Klein didn't know which country the soldiers behind them who shot the people were from, but their unmistakable Rune appearance had already told Klein the answer.

Klein was stunned for a moment, and then a sour feeling rose in his heart.

This is indeed...illegal content...

The Kingdom of Loen implemented strict control over newspapers. There was little news about the colonies in Loen's newspapers. Even if there was, it was reports about Loen building railways and schools for the colonists, or about the colonies attacking Loen or other colonies, glorifying colonization and stigmatizing the colonial resistance.

Klein immediately flipped back a few pages and discovered that they were all about Rune's atrocities in the colony. He immediately understood.

This is indeed a good idea... he sighed in his heart.

These contents simply could not appear in newspapers through formal procedures and could only be sold privately. If the buyer was directly told that the contents of the book were about Rune's atrocities in the colonies, many people would probably scoff and refuse to believe it.

But like now, if you trick the other person into opening the book, as long as they see the photo on the first page, they will continue reading even if they still refuse to believe it in their heart.

Klein gently stroked the cover of the book, took a deep breath, and opened it again. He read it carefully, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

Every photo is horrifying, and the text behind the photos is heartbreaking. Moreover, some of their former comrades also participated in the massacre.

Through ethnic policies, Loen favored some ethnic groups and suppressed others. It prohibited intermarriage among different ethnic groups, prohibited different ethnic groups from studying in the same school, and even separated different ethnic groups during conscription. It dispatched troops from other ethnic groups to suppress the rebellious ethnic groups in order to provoke ethnic conflicts and reduce the cost of colonization.

Klein slowly closed the book and held it weakly in his hands. His eyes were already moist, and his heart was filled with bitterness and anger.

There is no gardener who would not feel sad about this.

After a long while, Klein managed to calm himself down. He placed the book under his pillow, stood up, and hurriedly jumped out of the window.

That girl should be the Colonial Resistance's intelligence officer in Loen!
He wants to find her!
Klein hurried back to where he bought the book, but found that the girl was no longer there.

He should have left after I did… Klein speculated in his heart… After all, one must be cautious when doing things like this…

"You're still here. Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
