Locke breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'd better go home and write a closing report and collect the reward."

Locke took Irene out of the prison and took a car back to the East District.

He went into the study and started writing a report.

[File 1658, 12 children are missing in the West District, and a child-eating witch is suspected to have appeared. Please be sure to investigate the whereabouts of the ogre witch]

[Investigation results: 12 children in the West End were kidnapped by magician Bud Belmon and his wife Joanne Mancini. 】

After writing this, Locke raised his head and asked hesitantly,

"Will that noble take revenge on me and Hannah? After all, we are the descendants of Bard Belmon."

"No, that nobleman is dead. He is Baron Bean Thornburgh who held the funeral some time ago. The missing person is his adopted son."

Erin said.

"How do you know so clearly? Did you witness the entire incident three years ago?"

Locke looked at Erin suspiciously.

"I'm not that boring."

Erin raised her head.

Locke continued to write the report with his head down.

[Witness: Prisoner No. 263 of Kosolk Prison. 】

[Investigation process...]

After Locke finished writing the report and made sure that there were no factors involving himself, he put the report into his briefcase with satisfaction and planned to take it to work the next day.

"Xiao Ai, take me to the black market again. I want to sell the witch's red crystal necklace."

"It is recommended that you do not go to the black market. You have been marked."

"Um, aren't there any other black markets?"

"It's not that there is nothing, it's just that you are not suitable to go in now. If you want to buy the witch's red crystal necklace, there is actually a good buyer. You don't need to go to the black market."

Erin licked her furry paws and said,

"who?"

Chapter 128, Trading in strange objects

"Are you talking about Sigurd?"

Locke waved his hand, "He can't afford 300 gold coins. He is a moonlighter. If he has money, he will immediately spend it on women."

"Then do you know his last name?"

Erin asked.

"Bruce?"

Locke touched his chin, which meant that Sigurd couldn't afford the money, but his family had money.

Well, this is a hidden rich second generation.

If so, there really is no need to go to the black market.

The next day, Locke went to the Sixth Oddity Investigation Bureau and first submitted the report to Director Rhaenys.

Rhaenys looked at the detailed report and was slightly stunned.

"Locke Belmont, if I remember correctly, Bud Belmont is your father, right?"

"Yes, but this does not conceal the truth. As an investigator, I cannot shield him because of his identity."

Locke said seriously, looking selfless.

"Although there is no motive in the investigation, it is enough to close the case. After all, this was a case several years ago. You will report it to Mrs. Freya and she will help you apply for the reward."

Rhaenys narrowed her eyes and emphasized the word bounty.

Locke's eyes brightened visibly.

This shows that Rhaenys's guess is correct, this guy really did this for the 100 goldmick bounty.

"Thank you, Director. I'll go down first."

"Breakfast and lunch, don't forget."

"Won't forget it."

Don’t worry, Mr. Director, I will make breakfast, morning tea, lunch, dessert, afternoon tea and dinner myself.

Locke must seize the time to increase Rhaenys's favorability level to prevent Rhaenys from doing evil things to him.

Locke walked to the door, and Rhaenys suddenly stopped him,

"Locke."

"Director, is there anything else?"

"Are you short of money?"

"Yes, as you know, my family is relatively poor. I studied magic with Boyd. Many ritual materials are very expensive. I have to save some money."

Locke said helplessly.

"Um."

Rhaenys nodded and let Locke leave the office.

Locke entered the kitchen and began preparing breakfast for Rhaenys.

"Locke, what new tricks are you going to do today?"

Old Rani, who was still competing with [Boiled Sheep on Ice], asked with a smile.

"West toast."

Locke said.

"What's this?"

Old Rani thought he was well-informed, but after meeting Locke, he realized that his knowledge was shallow and he became like an apprentice before, always asking questions such as "What is this?" "Why?" and so on.

If it weren't for the entire kitchen, and only Locke understood, he would have suspected that he had eaten all his bread in vain over the years.

"It's French toast."

"French toast?"

Old Rani looked at Locke in confusion. He knew toast, but what did French mean?

Seeing Lao Lani's puzzled expression, Locke smiled and said, "Okay, it's just toast."

Old Rani and Fedor who came around heard that it was just ordinary toast and immediately lost interest.

They thought Locke was going to make a new dish for Rhaenys. If it was just ordinary toast, they could make it themselves.

Locke did not lose interest in cooking just because no one was watching.

He put on his chef's hat and apron, washed his hands, and began to select bread with a sense of ceremony.

The bread should not be too hard, not too dry, not too loose, and not too sweet.

You must choose one with a dense, soft texture and moderate sweetness.

In the end, Locke settled on bread from Baker's Bakery.

Cut the edge of the bread, spread a layer of strawberry jam evenly, spread it evenly on the upper and lower slices, and sandwich the cheese slices in the middle.

Take out a delicate deep bottom plate, put in the beaten eggs and 15 grams of milk, soak the sandwich bread slices in the egg liquid, and let all the bread slices stick to the egg liquid.

Locke put some butter in the pan and fry it slowly over low heat.

The corners of the bread must not be left out until the surface is browned.

Put a piece of butter in the middle of the fried bread and pour chocolate sauce on it.

Finally, add a cup of Locke's hand-ground coffee and place it on the plate. The fragrance instantly floats out.

Old Lani and Fedori couldn't help drooling.

It's just ordinary toast, but it feels like this high-end cuisine.

"I fried a few more pieces, Old Lani, Fedor, you can also taste it."

Locke said with a smile.

Old Lani and Fedori nodded, came over, each picked up a piece and stuffed it into their mouths.

Just as they were tasting the delicious toast, Locke had already walked out with the plate.

The breakfast was delivered to Renis's office.

Renis smelled the aroma of chocolate, strawberries, eggs and bread. Looking at the golden toast on the plate, she smiled and said,

"What is this?"

"Kosork Golden Toast."

Locke gave it a down-to-earth name.

Renis nodded, picked up the toast, took a bite, and the fragrance lingered in her mouth.

[Ding! Feeding the witch successfully! ]

[Randomly obtain an ability of the witch]

[Acquiring...]

[Shadow Clone: ​​You have a shadow clone. The shadow clone has an independent personality, but it is absolutely obedient to you. The combat power is twice yours. The only disadvantage is that the idea is a little dark. The shadow clone only appears in places with light. The shadow clone cannot be used in dark places. ]

[Due to the extraction of repeated abilities, proficiency +100]

[Shadow Clone: ​​709/1000]

"Locke, you never let me down."

If it weren't for Locke's suspicion that he was a witch, perhaps he could get along well with this cook.

What a pity.

Rhaenys thought so and found that two slices of toast could not hide her need for breakfast.

Even with a cup of fragrant coffee, she still felt unfulfilled.

Seeing Rhaenys still wanting more, Locke smiled and said,

"I will make dessert for you in an hour, please wait patiently."

Rhaenys's amber eyes lit up slightly.

It only takes an hour to eat such a delicious dessert again.

After Locke left the office, an owl flew out from the inner room and stood on Rhaenys's desk,

"It seems that you are beginning to miss him."

"No, I just miss the food. I hope that old Lani and the others will learn this quickly."

"That old-fashioned old man is still competing with the sheep."

[Sharp hearing +1]

Locke went to the kitchen again and returned to the investigator's office with the fragrant Koselk golden toast.

The lazy Sieg smelled the fragrance and sat up from the sofa.

"Oh, look who it is, our chef Locke is here, I really missed you."

"It seems that we don't need to go to the cafeteria today."

Angela's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she jumped to Locke's side.

Locke gave each of them two slices of Koselk golden toast and began to enjoy his breakfast.

"It's delicious, Locke, what is this?"

Angela asked.
