The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

No matter what your status is, attending a funeral will always make people feel depressed. Especially when you see Talim's parents with pale hair, tears in their eyes, and even standing trembling, it is difficult not to feel a sense of regret.

.

Klein walked to the tomb, presented the plain white flowers in his hand, observed silence for a few seconds, and then stepped aside.

Then, he found two familiar friends approaching him, Mike, a reporter with a sense of justice who often took care of his own business, and Alan, a surgeon who was likely to have a Sequence One Angel of Destiny as his son.

"Talim has always been in good health, but he suddenly died unexpectedly. It's really, alas..." Even a doctor who has seen many life and death experiences will also feel sad when facing the death of a friend.

Klein, who knew the cause of Talim's death, could not tell the truth, so he could only simply echo it, which was profound:

"Yeah, he shouldn't have ended up like this."

At this moment, he saw a female figure wearing a heavy black skirt and a face-covering veil walking towards Talim's grave, also holding a bouquet of white flowers in her hand.

The slight sense of familiarity brought about by his keen spirituality made him immediately pay attention, but his eyes moved to the other side indifferently.

Until the woman bent down to place the flowers, revealing her left palm wearing a black gauze glove, and on her little finger, a blue gem appeared vaguely.

Triss!Triss Cheek!

She used the curse to kill Talim, and she even came here to express her condolences. What did she want to do?

Wait, she seems to be scanning the crowd around her. Is she looking for someone?

Cats crying and mice pretending to be compassionate are not like the style of a "witch". Triss must have a more important purpose... Klein quickly looked away with superb acting skills, turned his back to Triss, and continued to talk to him.

The friend exchanged pleasantries, and at the same time his thoughts quickly began to change.

Miss "Strength" said that Triss has always wanted to escape from Prince Edsac, so it is basically impossible for her to go out alone, which means that His Highness the Prince is nearby.

Thinking of this, Klein said goodbye and walked out of the cemetery unhurriedly.

Sure enough, he found a familiar carriage. The coat of arms on the black carriage proved that it belonged to the Loen royal family, and its owner was none other than Prince Edsac.

In silence, the car door opened, and the old housekeeper with meticulously combed hair came down and made a polite gesture of invitation:

"His Royal Highness is waiting for you."

Klein smiled back, secretly took a deep breath, and walked into the spacious and warm car.

He did not see Triss, and Prince Edsac was the only one in the carriage, which surprised Klein.

"Your Highness, are you here to attend today's funeral?" he asked aloud, showing some confusion that he had not seen the prince at the funeral.

Edsac sighed and replied:

"Being in the royal family, there are many things that do not allow you freedom. For example, I cannot attend Talim's funeral in person and can only entrust others to lay flowers for me."

The person he was talking about must be Triss... Klein was determined to continue asking, but he was worried that it would arouse suspicion, so he heard His Highness the Prince ask:

"Sherlock, is there any progress in your investigation?"

Klein, who went by the pseudonym Great Detective, could not tell the truth yet. He shook his head and said:

"I did some divination, but the results were not satisfactory, so I plan to conduct on-the-spot investigations like an ordinary detective, starting from the people and places Talim came into contact with in the days before his death."

Edsac was a little disappointed at first, then showed admiration in his eyes and said:

"It's a great idea. I hope you can gain something. As for the expenses incurred during the investigation, you can ask my butler for reimbursement."

Klein smiled and nodded, and said with a thoughtful look on his face:

"In addition to staying at home, Talim also completed several equestrian lessons. In addition, he also..."

Seemingly sensing Klein's hesitation, Edsac took the initiative and said:

"There is also Red Rose Manor. I invited Talim to go there a few days ago."

This is what I want... Klein made a serious request: "So, I plan to investigate first and then visit Red Rose Manor in two days. I hope to get your permission."

Edsac knew Klein's purpose very well and readily agreed and said:

"Yes, it is our common wish to find out the cause of Talim's death."

After receiving the one hundred pounds from the old butler and watching the low-key and luxurious carriage slowly leave his sight, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was also a little uneasy.

Miss "Strength" had just commissioned her to investigate Triss, and the two met by chance today. This coincidence seemed to bring about a not-so-pleasant memory.

Claire returned home and immediately conveyed the news to Miss Power, hoping she could give some more detailed suggestions.

…………

Louise knew that the reason Triss went to attend Talim's funeral was to meet Klein by chance, but she failed because of the obstruction of "0-08".

This shows that the story is still running on its original track, and I still have time to prepare.

First, she thanked Mr. Fool sincerely for conveying his message, and Louise replied:

"You move very quickly, but entering Red Rose Manor may bring you danger. You'd better take some precautionary measures, such as finding some helpers in advance."

Louise was hinting at Mr. Azik, and she hoped that Klein would understand this hint, but after all, there is no need to worry too much about his safety.

Triss was about to break free, which meant that the "Backlund Great Smog Incident" was approaching. Louise felt a little anxious. She decided not to wait any longer, but took the initiative to ask Bernadette if she would do anything later.

If there is still no news from the reporter, he will seek help from the "Twilight Hermits".

She did as she was told. She immediately took out some spiritual materials, arranged the extraordinary ceremony, and after reciting Bernadette's honorable name, she asked her question as politely as possible:

"There has been no news from you recently. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

What was very surprising was that Louise received an immediate response:

"Meet you at midnight."

What is going on? Could it be that Bernadette had come back a long time ago and was just waiting for her to take the initiative to speak? Or did she just happen to rush back to Backlund today?

It seemed that what Bernadette had brought should be good news, which would be beneficial to her after all. Louise was too lazy to dig deeper into the origin of the matter, although she had some guesses that could not be confirmed at all.

But there is one more thing, what kind of hobbies does Bernadette have? Why do they always like to meet each other late at night? What kind of weird habit is this!
