A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 765

Chapter 765: Chapter 548 Vampire_2 Chapter 765: Chapter 548 Vampire_2 “Mr. Duanmu, if you get another commission, you must take me with you!”

Unlike before, Mary seems very enthusiastic this time. Well, Duanmu Huai can understand that. It's like a person who just learned how to drive, are eager to drive at first after having just learned how to use magic and handle dangerous situations.

“Don't worry, if there's a commission, I'll call you,”
That's what Duanmu Huai promised Mary.

But as a result…

“So boring… ”
Lying on the couch, Duanmu Huai stared blankly at the TV, looking utterly bored. He originally thought that changing places would bring many commissions. Indeed, there were many commissions before, but such situations dramatically decreased over the past half a month. Some letters have been delivered, but the content is not any serious case – at least to the investigator, Duanmu Huai has no interest in investigating someone else's marital infidelity.

Unless the one they're cheating with is an Evil God, of course.

Speaking of which, the business related to exorcism items has been surprisingly good, with many repeat customers. According to the maid and Lorena, they excitedly said, “This thing works so well, please give me a few more.”

It's like… are the people in this world so stubborn that they'd rather solve problems themselves than go to a detective?

And after solving them, they plan to get a few more, meaning they still intend to solve problems by themselves in the future?

How can you say, from the Tribunal's perspective, it's good to pull souls, but on the contrary, we're taking our own business away. What's the deal with that!

Duanmu Huai was speechless. The people of this world are really outrageous in this regard.

But on second thought, if it weren't this way, there wouldn't be a profession like a detective in the world.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, when a person complains about being free, he usually does not have the luxury of free time.

Just like now.

“Sir Knight, there's a letter for you!”

Lorena walked into the room excitedly and handed a letter to Duanmu Huai. He reached out in boredom and took the letter. After confirming that it wasn't a stupid banquet invitation, he then opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The letter read something like this:
Dear Sir,
On behalf of my client, Mr. Best. Hank from Cornwall County, I greet you. I believe this letter might confuse you. In fact, your work on the Baskerville family is no secret to us. It is clear to us that you are a remarkable expert in solving such difficult incidents. Therefore, I take the liberty to invite you to my office to discuss some things inappropriate to keep records in letters. If you are willing, you could visit 139 Knight Street, and I will be waiting for you anytime…

“Wow, this is interesting.”

Reading this, Duanmu Huai sat up. This was the first letter mentioning the Baskerville family. Of course, Duanmu Huai wouldn't advertise the previous work. After all, he's a detective and has an obligation to keep secrets. Whether the Baskerville family would talk about it or not is their business. As the other party mentioned this, it indirectly indicated that they have a certain relationship with the Baskerville family.

Well, it basically means “a friend introduced me here.”

At least it's more reasonable than those clients who believe the rumors in the streets or who act like idiots.

So Duanmu Huai dialed the number on the letter. The man on the phone seemed to be a gentleman. After arranging a meeting with him, Duanmu Huai took Lorena and went to the address mentioned in the letter.

In a modern-looking office, Duanmu Huai met the owner of the letter, Schiller Foster, a legal consultant.

“Welcome to your arrival, honorable Mr. Duanmu.”

Seeing Duanmu Huai, this legal consultant with a full beard was taken aback, but he quickly showed a warm smile and invited Duanmu Huai and Lorena to sit.

“Although I have heard about you, witnessing your nobility for the first time is… truly astonishing.”

“It's not important, I think we can skip these boring greetings and get straight to the point. You didn't invite me here just for coffee.”

As he said this, Duanmu Huai reached for his coffee and took a sip.

Well, the taste isn't bad.

“Of course not, this time I invite you, as mentioned in the letter, is to ask for help on behalf of my client, Mr. Best. Hank,”
Saying this, Schiller shrank back slightly from the smile on his face.

“In fact, some very strange things have happened in Cornwall County lately, simply put…”

At this point, Schiller explained the situation to Duanmu Huai.

In a nutshell, Cornwall County hasn't been very peaceful over the years. From time to time, local residents suddenly disappeared and their bodies were found later. Of course, if it was just that…
