Mystery: Start with the Reader Chapter 38

Just as Abner was holding the mast and looking up at Blush, Xio quietly came out of the cabin and walked to his side. Seeing that his face was full of expectation and excitement, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Ebner, so late. Now, what are you doing on the deck?"

　　Ebner had already noticed that Xio was approaching, so he was not surprised, turned his head and asked, "Why didn't you sleep?"

Xio was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Tonight is the blood moon, I am worried that Forsi...she will hear the babble in the blood moon! Although she always says that it is nothing, I think I just don't want me to follow the excuses of fear and fear... and I fall asleep. Before I got up and found that you were not there, I was afraid that something might happen, so I came to the deck to have a look."

The friendship between 　　 Xiu and Forsi is really deep! With a silent emotion, Abner moved his gaze to the blood moon in the sky again, and answered the question before the break, saying: "A major event that affects the direction of the world has happened tonight, so I just looked into the distance on the deck. Witness it in the air."

　　 Seeing that Abner spoke solemnly, Xio immediately became alert and asked, "What's the big thing?" Is it dangerous?

　　 Ebner looked at the crimson in the night, and replied with an aria pompously: "A ray of light has been born in this dark world!"

　　 Xiu's face suddenly collapsed after hearing this, she pursed her lips, and said helplessly: "Ebner, you and Forsi must have a common language!" Both like to tease me...

　　 "I'm not making up a story, I'm telling the truth!" Abner said that he laughed. Although he was telling the truth, he was actually joking with Xio in essence, because the coming of that one made him relax a lot from his tense mood.

　　 Seeing Abner smiled happily, even if he had just been teased, Hugh didn't get angry anymore. As a friend, she is happy to see Abner's smile from the heart. After she avenged her father's justice, she could laugh so happy even if she wanted to! No, I am happier than that.

　　 The two of them were blowing the sea breeze like this, looking at the crimson moon, each thinking about their own thoughts, and did not continue to speak, for a time there was silence on the deck...until a slightly ridiculous voice came from the bow of the ship:

　　 "The two are talking about love under the moonlight and I shouldn't have bothered me, but the sea area in the front section will be relatively strong, and it is not safe here, so hurry up and go back to the cabin!"

　　 Abner looked back, and saw Alanson Edward, the captain of the Wancheng Glory, walking over with a bottle. He was full of alcohol, his face was abnormally red, and he was obviously drinking too much.

　　Xiu and Abner paid no attention to his ridicule. The latter replied with a smile: "Mr. Edward, drink it like this, your words are not convincing."

　　 "Hiccup...I belong to the physique that is more sober the more I drink!" Captain Edward burped, and then continued, "I'm not kidding, you have to believe in a favored one of the sea."

　　 There seems to be nothing in his words...the favored one of the sea? Sea dependent? This is the old name for "Sailor"... Maybe the captain is an illegal person? Heh, this is because I thought I was an ordinary person and couldn't understand "black language", so I was showing off in a vague way?

　　 Abner reasoned habitually. He has now roughly sorted out the rules for acting as a 'reasoning student', which is a process of using logical ability to reason as much as possible to restore the original appearance of things or events based on the clues and details he has observed, combined with his own knowledge. As for whether this so-called original appearance is correct, whether it is complete, it is not what the reasoning student should care about. Anyway, he sometimes gets feedback on the digestion of the potion even if the result of the reasoning is wrong.

　　 Reasoning students only pay attention to the process of reasoning, and the detective only asks for the result.

　　 But given the kindness of the captain, Abner and Hugh still followed his advice. Just when he was about to walk into the hatch, Abner suddenly turned around and asked, "Captain Edward, did your family really live at 18 Delaher Street in the northwestern district of Backlund more than a hundred years ago?"

　　 "Yes, it's true!" Captain Edward didn't expect that he would ask this, so he replied in a daze. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. He didn't seem to tell anyone the specific house number.

　　 Abner nodded slightly, and then asked: "Then there is one of your ancestors named Ronzel?"

Because of drinking, Captain Edward's mind was still a bit dull. He didn't think about why the other party would ask, but he remembered it for a while, hesitating: "It seems that there was indeed... but he disappeared more than 160 years ago, my direct ancestor. It's his younger brother, so he wrote it in his diary."

　　 "If you could meet him, what would you say to him?" Abner asked again.

　　 "Uh, I will say, 'welcome you home anytime'!" Captain Edward replied subconsciously without turning his mind obviously.

"Okay, if I'm lucky enough to meet him, I will bring the words. Even if I can't see him, I can ask Mr. Fool to pass the message on his behalf. I believe he will be very happy to do so by then." Abner did not say this. , Just said silently in my heart. Then he pulled back to the cabin with an inexplicable face.

　　 "What's the mess... I must have drunk too much and have hallucinations!" Captain Edward was also confused for a while before he teased himself.

　　 On the other side, after returning to the first class, Xio asked in a puzzled way: "Who is Longzel? I didn't understand what you said."

　　 "Is a wanderer who has been away from home for more than 160 years and cannot return to his hometown..." Abner explained a little bit.

　　 Xiu listened thoughtfully, and said after a long while: "Ebner, I always think you know everything. I now believe that you are the favored one of 'knowledge'."

　　 Actually from the very beginning, I have already planned to change my job to become the secret favored one! Abner laughed at himself rather comically in his heart.

　　 woo!

　　 As the whistle sounded, the Wancheng Brilliant sailed into Damir Port.

　　 It will replenish fresh water and food on this colonial island, and set sail again the next morning for the port of Tiana, but this has nothing to do with the two of Ebner, they have already reached their destination.

　　 After three days of sailing, it is now the morning of June 30.

"Mr. Fool should be rushing to the church with the Secret Order Snoopy?" Looking at the pointer of the pocket watch, Abner groaned in his heart, and then hired a local guide to lead him. The two went to the only school in the port town.

　　 Damir Island is not very big. There is only the port town on the island where the population is concentrated. The resident population is only around 10,000, so the schools on the island are naturally not big.

　　 And it was the principal of this school who issued the commission to Detective Isinger.

　　 Abner and Hugh met this gentleman named Gaston Wilpin smoothly. He is about forty or fifty years old, wearing a pair of thick copper-framed glasses, combing his hair back, and neatly grooming him. At first glance, he is a very strict gentleman.

After the two parties were seated, this gentleman didn't say much. He went directly to the subject and said straightforwardly: "I have received a telegram from Isinger, knowing that you are here for him. To be honest, I am a little bit older when I see you. Disappointed, but Isinger strongly praised his students in the telegram, so out of trust in him, I plan to give it a try."

　　 "I will try to make myself worthy of the teacher's praise!" Abner first said politely, and then asked, "What is it that you are entrusting? I don't seem to be in a hurry?"

　　 "It's really not very urgent, but it's very difficult! Do you know, I paid 1,000 gold for your teacher!" Mr. Gaston replied.

　　1,000 pounds? I remember that in the original book, Klein paid 1,000 pounds for hiring Miss Sharon for three days. However, in these three days, they first killed a secret puppet master, arrested the traitor, participated in extraordinary gatherings, and finally escaped from the evil spirits of the three-in-one red angel... If I also encounter something like this now I'm afraid it will be completely cold...should it not be so bad, right?

　　 After defamating a bit, Abner asked Mr. Gaston with a serious expression: "What is the specific content of the commission? And, how is the level of danger?"

　　 "There is almost no danger!" Gaston shook his head first, read www.uukanshu.com and then took out a strange paper contract from the drawer.

　　 The contract paper was orange, and a rectangle was circled with the symbolic sign and magic sign corresponding to the sun field on it. Many terms have been written in Hermes, and only a blank space was left for the signature.

　　 "This is the magical item corresponding to the Solar Path Sequence 6 "Notary". You need to sign this contract before I will tell you what the commission is. After all, you are not Isinger, and I don't trust it."

　　 Although Mr. Gaston's words are not pleasant, both Abner and Hugh can understand, so they are not angry either, but take a serious look at the terms of the contract.

　　 The terms in the fairness book are actually very simple, they just clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. It also specifically states that the person who accepts the entrustment can withdraw at any time in case of danger. If the client feels unable to complete the entrustment after speaking out the specific matters of the entrustment, he can also withdraw at any time, but the payment will not be paid according to the progress of the event at the time of exit. Small discount.

　　 And Abner and the two are obliged to take Mr. Gaston through the seventh floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower".

　　 "What is this'Dreamland Labyrinth Tower'?" Abner frowned and asked.

"I won't tell you the specifics now. I can only say that the'Dreamland Labyrinth Tower' is not life-threatening on the seventh floor and the previous floors, but it is difficult to pass." Mr. Gaston explained and said nothing. Words.

　　 "There is no danger but it is difficult...that is, what is needed at these levels is wisdom or other qualities that do not rely on force... and there is no punishment?" Abner guessed.

　　 Mr. Gaston heard the words and cast his approving eyes. For the first time, he felt that Detective Isinger did not lie to him. His student's logical reasoning ability is really strong.
