Demon Sage Chapter 14

"Then take it slow, the original version is very precious, and the contents recorded in it cannot be read casually. If I got the things that I spent a lot of money on, letting you translate them as they are, is like giving you them for nothing. I'm not that generous. . . ...At this time, today's strange secret report should have arrived, go to the door to have a look."

As a detective, I have to pay attention to hot cases or strange phenomena in Preston every day. News agencies in Preston have their own concerns, such as Preston Economic Daily, which caters to businessmen, shops in bookstores. That's what it looks like.

As for this strange secret newspaper, it is a unique newspaper published by the People's Daily in Preston. It can be said that it is specially designed to capture the interest of young people. Most of the pages above are published in Preston's recent cases and events in the city. The peculiar phenomenon, and also in the form of serialization, conducts a series of in-depth investigations into a certain phenomenon.

Even if there is nothing wrong, I will try to give you some suspense. I have to say that it is really attractive.

Donald picked up the rolled up newspaper from the carpet at the door, spread it out, and in the center of the page was a black figure of a detective with the title: Unsolved Cases.

It's no wonder that Sherlock wants to subscribe to this newspaper. For this page alone, it is divided into three sections, which discuss three recent cases in Preston respectively.

The disappearance of a girl, the theft of jewelry, and the murder in the streets are also attached below. Some readers' opinions are generally discussed. The top one is a very confident inference, which directly gives some characteristics of the murderer.. ....

This kind of inference should be deliberately put at the top by the newspaper, because no matter what the reader says is right or not, his very confident argument will itself lead to discussions. Disputes between them will become hot spots.

Once the hot spot is formed, the next step is to use the results to prove that you are right. As a result, the sales of newspapers will also increase.

"Sherlock, have you been reading the mysterious report?"

"Yeah, I'm not interested in politics and economics. This is my job. It records many strange events in Preston recently. Sometimes there may be some of this. The guests are asking for help, and I need to know a general situation."

As a private investigator, the intelligence aspect cannot be taken down.

"What about these cases, aren't you paying attention?"

Donald thought he would pay more attention to those cases, such as tracking down the murderer in private, and then handing it over to the police station in exchange for pay and fame.

"You don't understand this, right? A case like this kind of newspaper that can know the details is never a big case, a real serious case, how could the police station let them know the development of the case, that's making trouble for themselves ."

Looking at the strange phenomenon section of the newspaper, Donald really wanted to ask Sherlock for the newspaper from a while ago, but it was still working time.

In the huge living room, one reads the newspaper and the other translates. The two of them are each doing their own thing. The phonograph in the living room is playing soothing music.

"So free, where does the money come from..."

Just when Donald began to slander Sherlock about how he was supposed to be reading newspapers and listening to music all morning, the bell at the entrance rang, and Donald, as an assistant, quickly got up to open the door.

"Is Mr. Detective at home?"

A fat middle-aged man in a brown woolen coat was standing outside, wiping the sweat off his face with a towel. Today's temperature should only be in the 20s. The panicked look, it should be something to come to the door.

"Mr. Charlotte Swift is in there."

Step aside, the man trotted into the house.

"I need you to help me investigate the whereabouts of a piece of jewelry, very urgent, very urgent!"

"My store is going to open tomorrow, and the invitations have been sent out. Without that batch of jewelry, I wouldn't have the face to open it tomorrow!"

"As long as you help me find the jewelry before tomorrow morning, 10 gold pounds... No! 15 gold pounds!"

There was no identity introduction, and the middle-aged man's series of words made both of them a little confused. Donald noticed Sherlock taking a step back, as if avoiding the man's spittle because of his emotional excitement. A little… not confident enough, but he steadied himself.

"How much was lost, did you call the police?"

Stretching down his clothes, Sherlock's tone was filled with undisguised excitement.

"I haven't calculated the amount of the loss carefully. If I call the police, what will I do to you? In order to protect my reputation, at least until the opening tomorrow, I will not tell anyone about it. I haven't found it until the opening time. Only then will the police be called, and even if you find them before the police, the reward will no longer be 15 gold pounds, but only 5 gold pounds!"

"Then what are you waiting for, UU reading www.uukanshu.com let's go, Donald, you too, a time-limited theft case, this is a good chance to become famous in one fell swoop."

Compared with the high compensation, Sherlock pays more attention to the fame that can be gained after completing this kind of case.

Donald realized at this time that he seemed to have been misled by the impression left over from his previous life. Sherlock hired his own salary, plus the translation of the information that was said to have been obtained at a huge cost... He Where did so much money come from?

Doubt in his heart, but now is not the time to think about these things, he quickly gathered his thoughts, Donald sorted out the translation documents and followed Sherlock to the jeweler's carriage.

Bad Abel, the name of the jeweler, before going to the scene of the crime, Sherlock asked for some details, and Donald took out a small notebook to start recording, which made Sherlock's eyes show admiration. .

This kind of assistant can save your mind.

"Where is the theft?"

"The warehouse at home is triple-locked, and the key is in my hand. I've been taking a shower and going to the toilet for the past two days. I took it with me! But when I checked into the warehouse this morning, everything was gone!"

It can be said that this client is very cooperative.

"You mean the lock is not broken? Is there a secret door or window in the warehouse? Or a tunnel you don't know."

"One of the locks is not broken, and it has not even been opened! The warehouse is next to the kitchen on the first floor of my house, and the whole family is watching. There is a small window in that room for ventilation, but I would have had people welded with iron fences. Death, even cats can't get through, let alone people, there are still tunnels in the secret door... There shouldn't be any, but I can't be sure, I haven't looked for it carefully."

Sherlock pursed his lips. If what the jeweler said was true, how many jewels disappeared out of thin air?
