Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 183 Explore again
After receiving their reward, Fors and Xio did not leave immediately. Instead, they casually browsed through books in Viscount Greylint's study.

A Brief History of the Fifth Period

Russell's Short Stories

……

Suddenly, Xio's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two books on the bookshelf with great surprise: "History of the Nobility of the Kingdom of Loen" and "Heraldry".

"Respected Viscount Greenlight, may I borrow these two books?" Xio asked the owner of the books sincerely.

"No problem." Greenlight took a quick glance and nodded indifferently.

"Thank you so much."

Audrey silently took in the scene, and moved the fan up to cover the corners of her slightly raised mouth. As a "mind reader", she was very good at giving some subtle guidance.

St. Samuel's Church in the northern district of Backlund
The rustling sound of writing escaped from Klein's fingers. He held a pen and scribbled on the paper in front of him. He seemed to be taking notes seriously, but his mind had already drifted to the sewer.

Eve's letter of complaint arrived at the church before Klein, and the Nighthawks had already set out when Klein arrived at the church.

Although he was unsure of the truth, for safety reasons, the Nighthawks quickly organized a three-person team to go to the address in the letter after divination. The team returned to the church around noon.

Taking advantage of a break in the training, Klein quietly took a look. The three returning team members had extremely serious expressions, as if they were oppressed by a group of dark clouds, which made it difficult for Klein to ignore. It seemed that Detective Zreal's matter was more complicated than he had imagined.

I'll take another look after get off work... Klein thought quietly to himself, but the pen in his hand was not affected by his scattered thoughts at all. His neat handwriting recorded the vast amount of mystical knowledge on the paper one by one.

He looked up and saw Leonard sitting upright in his seat. His usual playboy demeanor had been somewhat diminished in the Tranquil Zhiyuan Church, and he seemed unusually serious. But upon closer inspection, Klein discovered that Leonard was also distracted. Like Klein, Leonard had long since learned a great deal of extraordinary knowledge from the angel within him.

Klein withdrew his gaze and returned to his training seriously, occasionally glancing at his pocket watch, counting the hours until the end of his shift.

Painful times always seem to pass by so slowly. Although the Nighthawk training couldn't be called painful, for Klein, who wanted to check the sewers again, today's time did feel longer than usual.

After get off work, Klein immediately took the subway back home. He planned to investigate as "Sherlock Moriarty".

Click click click——

The key turned twice in the door, and two crisp sounds alerted the visitor that the door had been opened. Klein gently pushed inward, and the door swung inward with his force.

He glanced at the shoe rack by the door and saw a pair of white high heels on the rack compared to when he left. The shoe surface was clean but a little dark brown dirt could be seen on the side of the heel. It was obvious that this should be the shoes Eve wore today. She had returned home.

Dengdengdeng-

Klein quickly ran upstairs and knocked on Eve's door.

Before the third knock landed on the door, the wooden door had already swung inward, revealing Eve's figure.

"What are you doing?" Eve leaned against the door frame, exuding a lazy air, but she didn't make people feel decadent. She was as lazy and warm as the sunshine at noon in spring.

"I..." Klein's voice suddenly stopped as soon as the first "I" came out.

Because Eve was leaning against the door frame, Klein was able to see the exquisite and precious hairpin in Eve's hair from her side.

It looks expensive...and those pearls and diamonds don't look fake...

A hint of doubt flashed through Klein's mind. He had never seen Eve wear hair accessories; her hair was always casually loose.

Eve noticed the confusion in Klein's eyes. She reached out and stroked the hairpin tangled in her black hair. She smiled and said, "A gift from a little witch."

what?
Klein's expression suddenly became a little strange. He pursed his lips, knocked his lower teeth against his upper teeth, and said, "Uh..."

Little Witch… Klein felt a chill in his heart. What kind of name is this? Is this a normal name?

He lowered his gaze, moving it back and forth across Eve's face, and then moved it to the precious hairpin, staying there for a full five seconds.

"You didn't come to see me just to look at my hairpin, did you?" Klein's gaze was too obvious. Eve stretched out her arm towards her neatly bound hair, her fingers stroking the diamond in the center of the hairpin.

"Uh... I..." Klein opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start. He "uh" a few times but nothing came out. The information that came like lightning hit his brain directly, making him stunned for a moment.

"I want to change into the identity of 'Sherlock Moriarty'."

After a few seconds, Klein seemed to have regained his normal ability to speak. He pursed his lips and looked away, but his eyes still occasionally glanced at the hairpin while he spoke.

Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it, and even if it's true, a sister-in-law is always easier to accept than a brother-in-law.

"I want to take another look at where Zreal's body is."

"Hmm..." Eve rested her finger on her chin and pondered, "Zreal's body has been searched by the Nighthawks. If there was anything worth noting, it's likely that they've taken it away... Is it for a commission?"

Klein nodded. He knew that he had not searched the body in the early morning. Firstly, he wanted to preserve the scene and prevent the clues from being destroyed. Second, he wanted to leave valuables for the Night Watchmen to facilitate their subsequent investigation.

Klein replied, "My commission hasn't been completed yet. I need to confirm it."

Snapped--

A crisp snap of fingers was heard, and Klein, who was standing in front of the door, had transformed into Sherlock Moriarty.

"Go ahead." Eve waved her hand and said, "Remember to come back early. Mr. Ian will come to see you again."

Will you come to see me again?
This is the second time today. Is this too frequent?
In an instant, an outrageous idea flashed through Klein's mind, passing by as quickly as a meteor, but Klein still caught it by the tail.

Ian said he would show up at the right time. Wouldn't it be that if he came a few more times, he would eventually meet him?

It was an outrageous idea, but Klein also sensed a certain rationality in it. After all, Ian was just an ordinary person, without a tight information network or extraordinary abilities. How could he be sure that he would show up at the right time?
Ah...this...why does it seem more and more reasonable the more I think about it?
Klein urgently stopped his wild thoughts, simply disguised himself, waved goodbye to Eve, and ran towards the sewer.
