The Knights of the DC House

Chapter 22 Entrusted to the door

Just when Jos, one of the members of the secret society of super villains from Earth 3, completely replaced his identity as Jos, the sibling of the main universe of Earth 0, with the help of Atomic Girl, he was crazily chewing books in the office.

Ke Wen also received his first normal commission as a firm. At this time, Ke Wen was conducting various experiments on the magic recorded in the pile of basic magic books left by Zatanna to Jean.

With the help of the magic dragon in his body, Ke Wen will not have insufficient supply of magic power. In addition, these books are all translated into English. He does not need to go online for language comparison. It only takes one morning.

Wen has already mastered several magics of the four basic forms of Master Fa. After all, all he has to do is understand the magic power composition of these magics, and then restore them through the magic power provided by the magic dragon in his body. He can do it naturally. This alone is enough.

I don’t know how much time Ke Wen was saved.

Just as Ke Wen was releasing the basic magic of the four elements with both hands, holding a fire ball, a water ball, a small hurricane, and a ball of earth in his hands, there was a knock on the door outside.

, attracted Ke Wen's attention. After a distraction, the four-element basic magic held up in his hands dissipated because of Ke Wen's move. The explosion flames, water spray and dust made Ke Wen disgraced. Simple.

After cleaning up, Ke Wen saw the visitor through the closed-circuit TV nearby, a middle-aged woman with a somewhat sad look.

"It looks like there's business coming to the door." Looking at the expression on the woman's face, Ke Wen was a little surprised that someone would come to him at this time. He pressed an electronic button next to the door connected to his computer.

It popped open and the woman with a sad face walked in.

"Hello, is the detective here?"

"Yes, I am." Ke Wen gestured to the chair in front of him and asked the woman to sit down.

"You? Uh, I think I'm in the wrong place." After looking at Ke Wen's young and somewhat exaggerated face, the woman suddenly felt that entering this detective agency was an unwise decision, and she didn't even plan to say anything.

Say a few words, then turn around and leave.

"Madam, you are here. I think if you had no choice, you would not find me here. In that case, why don't you sit down, drink a cup of hot tea, and talk to me about your troubles? Just

Just try to relax your tense nerves, don’t worry, the tea is free.”

Ke Wen also understood the woman's worries, and was not angry. Instead, he said politely. As for the thick stack of basic magic books just placed on his desk, Ke Wen also put them aside.

The woman who was about to turn around and leave heard Ke Wen's words, thought for a moment, sighed helplessly, and then walked back and sat down in front of Ke Wen. Ke Wen had already made tea and handed it to the sad man.

In front of a lady with a full face.

"Thanks."

"It's nothing. If you don't mind, can you tell me about your troubles? I'm curious about what kind of troubles make you visit my office as if you have no choice."

"As the director of a firm, is it really okay for you to mock yourself like this?"

"It's just telling the truth. Okay, ma'am, tell me."

"Okay, just think of it as a thank you gift for inviting me to drink this cup of tea, but I think you will think I'm crazy like everyone else." Putting down the tea cup, the lady also began to talk about her past few days.

encounter.

"My name is Lillian Hobbs. My husband is a detective at the Nazionale Police Department. He leaves early and comes home late every day. Although it is a bit boring, his life is very fulfilling. But just five days ago,

I found that my husband had changed. That day was our fifth wedding anniversary. I was waiting for him to get off work at home. We planned to go to the Oak Restaurant for dinner that day, but that day, my husband came back very late, at the usual time.

He came home at eight o'clock. That day, after he just finished calling me, there was no news. He didn't show up at the door until 11 o'clock in the evening, but that man was not my husband at all! "

When he said this, the fear in the eyes of the lady named Lillian made Ke Wen feel that something was wrong, but he did not ask questions, but poured a cup of tea into her teacup to allow her to calm down.

emotions.

"With all due respect, the temporary loss of contact doesn't mean anything. Maybe there was an emergency that delayed it. How do you feel that the person who appears in front of you is not your husband?"

"Yes, he can tell you about his face, height, voice, even some secrets that only the two of us know. Why do I have such thoughts?" Lillian laughed at herself, and then continued: "But he gave

My feeling is very strange. I have been married to my husband for five years and slept in the same bed. I know very well what kind of person he is, a policeman who hates evil and hates hatred. More importantly, now Nasino

In the city, with the existence of four superheroes: Supergirl, Kamen Rider, Nightwing, and Dove, do you think there are any other crises that require the dispatch of a large number of police forces?"

Well, this rhetorical question made Ke Wen not sure how to respond. Although he had a share of credit for this, he couldn't say rude directly and had to continue to listen to Lillian's own opinions.

"My husband has changed since he came back. Although his tone is still the same, I can feel the strangeness coming from him. When I went to see him in the police station the next day, he was sitting there, looking at

I watched my colleague struggling with a prisoner. What I saw in his eyes was not anger, but joy, as if he liked to see people fighting. And I was sure that he was not my husband.

, but it is a small thing. He has a habit. No matter how late he comes back or how tired he is from work, the first thing he does when he gets home is to wash his hands. It has never changed since the day I met him."

"And this habit disappeared after returning home five days ago, right?" Ke Wen took up her words and said.

"Yes, although it is just a trivial matter, there is no evidence to prove that he is not my husband, either medically or in life, but I can't believe that a person who has spent five years with me will

With such a big change overnight, even a habit that has been maintained for almost twenty years can be easily changed."

"Have you ever tried taking him to the hospital for examination? You know, in today's world, it is possible for a person with super powers to do it." Ke Wen asked again.

"I tried and took him to see him. There was no problem. There was no fragment of the supergene gene at all. My doctor told me that maybe I was the one with the problem, but how could I have the problem? You don't

You know how desperate I am!"

Speaking of this, the lady named Lillian also began to sob. It was obvious that this incident had almost driven her crazy. Ke Wen raised his head and glanced at the Pandora's Box hung on the wall.

His eyes also became sharp. If he had not come into contact with Pandora's Box, he would have chosen to be dubious about this lady's words, and even classified her as a crime case involving superpowers. But with Pandora's Box, he was

After having preconceived notions, he chose to believe.

Because he knew that Ms. Lillian's situation was possible, and it would be enough to let a homologue from another universe take her place. As long as the data were fully prepared, it would be difficult to find out the problem by scientific means alone, and

Who would believe something like this that can only be judged through personal intuition? Thinking of this, Ke Wen couldn't help but feel relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the evil eternal event linked to Pandora's Box was the same as the comics he read.

, it was a sudden outbreak without any warning. Now it seems that this is not a warning.

"Okay, Ms. Lillian, I understand the general situation, so let me help you verify it." Taking out a power of attorney from the drawer on the side, Ke Wen placed it directly in front of her.

"You...believe what I say?" Lillian looked at the little boy in front of her and asked with some uncertainty.

"I just trust the intuition of a wife who has lived with her husband for five years, but you have to be mentally prepared. If it is really found out that he is not your husband, then your original husband may have..."

"I understand this, but even if this is the case, I still have to know why he is my husband, and I must let him get a fair trial!"

"Then, please sign and prepare the commission fee."

Looking at Ke Wen's confident face, Lillian was a little hesitant because she didn't know whether this little boy could help her. But the question was, who would believe her words now? Thinking of this, Lillian also commissioned

He signed his name on the book and put his thumb fingerprint on it. After Lillian signed her name, Ke Wen printed a copy of the power of attorney and handed it to Lillian.

"Please keep it, Ms. Lillian. I will give you an answer in fifteen days. Now, for your safety, I suggest you not go home for the time being and go stay with your parents or friends."

"Can you really, I mean, find out the truth?"

"Of course, I am a detective, and my slogan says, whether it is as small as a turtle or as big as saving the world, as long as you entrust it, I will definitely complete it."

After Ke Wen said this, Lillian, who had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a live doctor, thanked Ke Wen and left. And Ke Wen also opened the door after the client left.

Lock it, and according to the information Lillian provided him, sit on the chair, close your eyes, and let go of your consciousness. Endless white light hits, and layers of bookshelves are displayed in front of Ke Wen. The regional library loaded on him is activated.
