Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 60 Hypocrisy
Klein sighed inwardly and left the Blackthorn Security Company after concluding his conversation with Leonard. After wandering around the streets looking for his notes, he headed to the Fortune Teller's Club.

The extra ten pounds of income meant that he no longer needed to wait for funding approval and had enough money to become a member of the Fortune Tellers Club.

……

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Eve and Audrey had already become familiar with each other.

Eve had a smile on her lips. She pinched the small silver spoon with two fingers and slowly stirred the coffee clockwise to dissolve the settled sugar cubes.

Her mood was not as happy as it appeared. Audrey quietly observed the girl opposite her. Miss Eve was very calm with Ruirui. They had a very good relationship.

Eve took a sip of coffee and let the little audience opposite her observe her without caring.

He looked at the big golden retriever lying at his feet.

This must be Miss Justice’s extraordinary pet.

"Rui Rui often comes to see Susie on her own. Miss Eve is very confident in her." Audrey gently stroked the black cat nestled in her lap and said with a smile, "She's so smart that she knows the way after only coming here once."

"Well, Ruirui is indeed very smart. She often runs around, and sometimes it's hard for me to find her." Eve put down her teacup and picked up the handbag beside her. "I'm not worried. Ruirui is very powerful. All the cats and dogs in Backlund bow their heads and stand still when they see her."

Eve stood up, lifted her skirt, and bowed to Audrey, saying, "Thank you, Miss Audrey, for your hospitality."

Audrey also stood up and returned the greeting.

Their afternoon tea only lasted an hour. Audrey puffed up her cheeks in frustration as she watched Eve leave, then sat back in her chair.

She had asked Mr. Fool a long time ago, and learned that pets could also drink potions. Susie was fine and even learned to speak.

At that time, she had been wondering if Rarity was also a pet that had drunk the potion. If so, Miss Eve must also be a Beyonder. The more she thought about it, the more it seemed right. So, during afternoon tea, Audrey kept bringing up Rarity, but unfortunately, she only got specious information.

Audrey looked at Susie at her feet, rubbed her head and said, "Come on, Susie, we will know one day."

No. 18, Minsk Street, Cherwood District, Backlund

"Do you still want to recruit that little girl into the club, meow?" Ruirui jumped onto the sofa nimbly and licked his front paws and asked.

"Hmm..." Eve suddenly lay down on the sofa, occupying the entire sofa. Ruirui was squeezed and jumped onto the armrest. Eve turned over and lay on the sofa. She raised her head and supported her face with one hand. She looked at Ruirui who was squatting in front of her and said, "It's not impossible."

"Meow, you're even stealing your own brother's girl." Ruirui said with disgust.

"What are you talking about? This is called..." Eve racked her brains to recall the political science she had memorized in her previous life, saying some clichés that she didn't understand but thought would fit the topic. "Uh... integrating resources... human resources... maximizing benefits..."

"Alright, alright, meow," Ruirui said as she washed her face, "You always like to make up some high-sounding excuses for yourself."

After saying that, Ruirui paused and turned to look at Eve blankly.

Eve looked at Ruirui and chuckled self-deprecatingly. The hand that was supporting her head suddenly dropped and her face fell into the soft sofa.

"Alas, I am a hypocritical person after all." Eve's voice was muffled as she was buried in the sofa.

"I'm sorry," Rarity stretched out a front paw, as if wanting to touch Eve, "I'm not..."

"I know," Eve suddenly propped herself up on the sofa with both hands, lifted her upper body, and said with her usual carefree smile, "What's wrong with hypocrisy? No wonder I can't live because of it. Hahaha, that's good. It helps me understand myself better."

Ruirui looked at the smiling Eve, jumped off the armrest, squatted on the sofa, put one of her front paws on the back of Eve's hand, and stared at him with her brown eyes. The two looked at each other silently.

After a long time, Eve was the first to look away, curled the corners of her lips awkwardly, and said, "Ruirui, you go down first. I can't hold on anymore. It's very tiring." Eve's arms trembled slightly, and it seemed that she really couldn't hold on anymore.

Ruirui glanced at him, retracted her front paws and jumped off the sofa.

Eve collapsed all of a sudden, and it took her more than ten seconds to sit up. She threw her arms back and forth twice, then took turns hitting them with both hands.

Brown eyes kept watching Him.

After hammering for a while, Eve waved to Ruirui and said, "Go hang out in Tingen. Remember not to appear too pushy when you get too close to the Nighthawks."

"it is good."

An illusory, star-studded door formed on the snow-white wall. Ruirui glanced behind her. Seeing her look, Eve waved at her and said with a smile, "Remember to come back for dinner. I'll cook it myself. This time, I'm definitely not inferior to Audrey's chef."

Ruirui turned around, walked towards the door, and jumped out of a deserted alley.

Her soft pads stepped on the ground in Tingen. She looked at her feet for a while, her brown eyes moved, and she ran straight to No. 2 Daffodil Street.

After arriving at their destination, Ruirui sat at the door waiting for Klein.

"Rui Rui?" After waiting for a long time, Klein finally arrived. He stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's okay," Rarity walked in after Crane opened the door, "I just wanted to check on you."

Ruirui's voice is a somewhat childish female voice, which is very inconsistent with her adult appearance.

"Oh, okay." Klein looked at Ruirui who jumped onto the sofa and asked hesitantly, "Do you need coffee or tea?"

Ruirui is not an ordinary cat. She should be able to drink coffee and black tea, Klein thought to himself.

"No need," Ruirui said, "I'll just stay here for a while. Just do your thing and don't worry about me."

"Rui Rui, are you worried?" Klein asked with concern. "Did you have a fight with your sister?"

The black cat shook his head and stopped talking.

Seeing she didn't want to talk, Klein didn't ask any further questions. He put on his apron and prepared dinner for Melissa and Benson. He brought the dishes to the table and turned to ask, "Would you like to stay for dinner? Benson and Melissa would love you."

"No, Eve prepared dinner," Rarity shook her head, "and I have a mission, so I need to go."

As she said that, she jumped onto the window. Ruirui looked back at Crane and opened her mouth but said nothing.

what happened?
Klein looked at the window with puzzled eyes. Ruirui was no longer there. Why do you two like to be riddlers?

"It smells so good," Melissa sniffed the delicious aroma in the air. "Klein, you're making something delicious again." Thinking of Klein's past "extravagance," and looking at the several dishes on the table, Melissa's face showed a hint of distress. "Although things aren't as hardship as they used to be, we still have to save some money. For things like these, once a week is enough."

Klein said helplessly, "No, Melissa, twice a week is completely fine. My salary will increase in the future, so three times a week is no problem."

Ruirui listened to the warm quarrel between the brother and sister and left in silence.

Go find the injured.
