Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Dr. Leonardo has been in Backlund for more than ten years. He is a very skilled private doctor. He has made great achievements in internal medicine and surgery, and he has cured many chronic and intractable diseases. He is very famous in Jorwood, Hillston and even the West End. He has deep friendship with many businessmen, government employees and nobles."

"Over the past year or so, Dr. Leonardo's medical skills in gynecology have also made breakthroughs, and he has cured many cases of infertility for many years. My wife and I have seen him before, and my wife has successfully recovered Pregnant again."

"My wife may have had a forced pregnancy. Although she was only one month pregnant, all kinds of reactions were very violent. I had to seek medical advice from Dr. Leonardo again. He recommended a drug for me, and my wife took it. Symptoms disappeared shortly thereafter."

"But the medicine can only last for a while. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, my wife's various reactions will reappear...Yesterday, I took my wife to visit the doctor again according to the appointment, only to find that Dr. Leonardo is not at home .”

"That doctor is a trustworthy gentleman. He has never broken an appointment before. This is the first time."

"According to his valet, the doctor boarded an unfamiliar carriage and left home at least two days ago. During this period, he sent back a letter saying that it would take a few days to return, and let the valet Turn off all patient appointments."

"I suspect that the doctor must have encountered trouble, and the letter he sent back may have been written under coercion. But because his family did not report the case, the police cannot intervene in the investigation..."

"But I didn't get much medicine. If Dr. Leonardo still doesn't come back before I finish taking it, then my wife's condition may be even more dangerous."

"So, Mr. Blaine, I would like to entrust you to find the whereabouts of the doctor. Even if he may not wake up in a mistress' bed now, please tell me his exact location. For this, I am willing to pay 50 pounds."

...

Sitting on the public carriage going to Rotans Street in the Jorwood District, Abner recalled the content of the entrustment of Sheriff Farthing just now, and gradually had an idea in his mind: Although Sheriff Farthing didn’t say it clearly, he should be very clear about it. That Dr. Leonardo is not an ordinary person, and hinted that my case should involve Extraordinary people, otherwise, he would not have paid 50 pounds just to find someone.

He was good at healing before, but in the past year he suddenly became proficient in gynecology... Could it be that the "doctor" of the "farming" path advanced to the "harvest sacrifice"? The latter has the ability to promote biological fertility...

In my impression, Klein obtained a sealed item from the City of Silver later when he was pretending to be the rich man Dawn. This was the way he got it. He even complained that if the fertility rate of the entire block increased, the reputation of his Dawn vest would be ruined. Totally hopeless.

Thinking of this, Abner no longer made wild guesses, but began to think about how to conduct investigations. After a while, he gradually had an idea, and he could follow the clues as long as he found the clues.

Speaking of which, the reason why Abner accepted Sergeant Farthing’s entrustment was firstly because the other party was a friend of the teacher, and it was difficult to refuse him with favors; secondly, he felt that the other party only wanted to find out the doctor’s whereabouts, When it comes to Extraordinary people, the degree of danger is not too high. With his current frontal combat ability close to Sequence 6, he should be able to handle it; the third is the most important, because he needs to play the role of "detective"!

After he returned to Backlund, he was so keen on fame, wasn't it because he wanted to receive more commissions smoothly? Now with a ready door, he has no reason to refuse.

Since Sergeant Farthing still had work to do, he was unable to follow, so at this moment only Abner arrived at No. 17 Rotens Street by car.

Looking at the overgrown plants in the attached garden of this beautiful house, Abner felt that his previous guess might have been correct.

He didn't knock on the door because he wasn't a policeman,

Without the power to let the other party cooperate with his own investigation, rushing to the door will not only reveal the fact that Sergeant Farthing has hired detectives to investigate, but also alert potential criminals.

Directly open the "Pure White Eye" to simulate deception, and quietly came to a window of the house, then Abner simulated the apprentice's ability to "open the door" and walked through the closed window to the living area of ​​the house. indoor.

This ability comes from the spell model analyzed in "2-081". "Pure White Eye" also "learned" this "door opening" ability in the process of analyzing "2-081".

After entering the house, Abner used "Shadow Stealth" again, avoided the servants and nurses in the house, and went straight to Doctor Leonardo's bedroom on the third floor.

According to the information given to him by Sergeant Farthing, the first and second floors are the long-term activities of servants and nurses. Even if Dr. Leonardo does some secret business, he will not be in these areas. And the room on the third floor can only come up if the personal servant is allowed. This is the place where he can do his own business.

After "opening the door" and entering the bedroom, Abner searched around first, and found some ashes of paper in the trash can at the foot of the desk, only a bottle of women's perfume in his cabinet was more suspicious.

"According to the information given by Sergeant Farthing, this doctor has been in Backlund for more than ten years. Although he earns a lot of money and looks decent, he has never married a wife and has no children... Then he Why is there a bottle of feminine perfume in his cabinet? Is it his eccentricity, or is it for his mistress?"

Abner talked to himself silently, and then used "breath extraction" to find out the breath traces left in the bedroom one by one.

So little, so little breath...Even in a bedroom as a private space, the breath shouldn't be so rare... This is something that someone has cleared regularly, especially for the investigation of "detectives"! If I didn't have the blessing of the "Pure White Eye", I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find anything with the "breath extraction" ability of the "Wisdom Keeper".

Sighing, Abner analyzed the extracted breaths one by one, and then reluctantly used "scene backtracking" based on it.

In the picture, there are two figures hugging and kissing each other in the slightly dim bedroom, and one of them is clearly identified as Dr. Leonardo. The other party can only vaguely discern that it is a woman. Apart from that, her appearance, hair color, and age are all in a blurred state, making it impossible to distinguish. However, she has a very prominent feature. There is a very complicated pattern on her bare back. red tattoo.

Immediately afterwards, another scene appeared. It was a night with a crimson moon. Dr. Leonardo solemnly took out a bottle of perfume, put a drop on his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to touch the symbol of the Mother Earth on his chest. , but in the end, the direction of his worship was not the holy emblem of the mother god, but the moon hanging high outside the window!

Just when Abner's gaze was about to involuntarily follow the doctor to look at the crimson, a smooth white finger suddenly extended into the scene, and when it was slightly stirred, the whole picture was suddenly broken.

"That was just now..." After Abner came back to his senses, his eyes widened immediately, and then he fully operated the "Pure White Eye" to analyze himself.

After a full minute, he exited the state of pure white eyes with sweat all over his head, his face full of fear.

Although he didn't remember the relevant knowledge that was blocked, and didn't know what he almost saw in the scene just now, but the spiritual warning that came late afterwards made him roughly guess something.

"I don't know who saved me in the end... It looks like a female finger... Mother Earth or a goddess? Well, at present, the former is more likely."

Thinking of this, Abner showed a bitter smile, and thought: A 50-pound investigation task actually involves such a high-ranking person... The key is that I haven't found out the specific whereabouts of that doctor, so I can only say that there is clue.

But at this time, Abner was already considering whether to continue the investigation. After all, the problem with Dr. Leonardo was not small, and continuing to investigate would probably be more dangerous. He is a Sequence 7, even if he has a golden finger, should he really take such a risk?

After weighing for a while, Abner finally decided to subcontract the case to the Giant Bishop Utravsky of the Harvest Church.

Judging from the scene just now, Dr. Leonardo should be a follower of the Mother of the Earth, but the object of prayer has shifted... This kind of thing should be cleaned up by members of their church, and finally let me know the result , so that I can go and deal with Sergeant Farthing.

Moreover, the Mother Earth might have also intervened just now, and her eyes should still stay around here. It is safer to go to the Church of the Mother Earth now.

Thinking of this, Abner looked at the still ordinary bottle of women's perfume in his hand again, feeling a little afraid in his heart, but he hesitated again and again and sealed it with spirituality, then put it in a box and carried it with him.

It's better to take this dangerous thing to Harvest Church and ask professionals to destroy it. Staying here, if it is abused by ordinary people, who knows what catastrophic consequences it will cause.
