Klein met Jürgen Cooper in an office at the Rice police station, a young senior solicitor still dressed very formally, as if he was always ready to go to an upper-class dinner.

A double-breasted black long dress, a white shirt with a stiff collar, a huge bow tie, and bright leather boots made the police very polite to him.

Jürgen held a half-height silk top hat and looked at Klein with blue eyes:

"The formalities are all done, you go and pay the 10 pound bail and you can leave. ”

"Thank you. Without further ado, Klein followed the good-looking but old-fashioned lawyer to the police station's financial office, took out his wallet, and drew two five-pound bills.

He was glad that he had all the cash, £95, with him, or he might have borrowed it from his good neighbour Jürgen.

Of course, the most serious thing is that if the cash is left at home, after the police search the scene, there will be no confidence in how much will be left in the end, but he can't put it on the gray fog, because in the end, he may have to bribe to get out.

At present, many newspapers and magazines have been slandering the police, believing that they lack supervision, do things roughly, are corrupt, often blackmail, fierce and vicious, Klein dare not believe it all, but he also dare not believe it, after all, Meursault's money is likely to be cheaper than the people in this police department.

After paying the bail, Klein followed Jürgen out of the police station, shivering at the wet cold wind blowing in his face.

"When the case is closed, your bail will be returned to you, and of course, you can't expect them to come and inform you, huh...... In a week, if no one comes to take you back to the police, you can go here and ask for bail. Theoretically, you can also get the corresponding compensation in the end, from the other party's estate, if any. Jürgen walked towards a carriage parked nearby.

The rain during the day finally stopped at night, but the red moon was still obscured by dark clouds, and the streets were lit only by the glow of gas street lamps.

"Okay. Klein almost thought the 10 pounds were coming back.

He couldn't help but calculate Ian's commission, which was paid 5 pounds, but a lot of furniture and tea sets were broken in the room, and he had to buy new ones, or find someone to fix them, plus the cost of materials, carriages, and the rest of the clothes, it seemed that he might lose money......

If you don't get the 10 pounds bail back, you're going to lose a lot......! Meursault's legacy is worth a lot of money...... Klein boarded the carriage and frowned slightly.

He always thought that the private investigator who used his residence as an office would not lose money at most without commission, and the result was ......

Klein glanced sideways at Attorney Huergen, who was sitting upright, and said sincerely:

"Thank you, thank you for taking the initiative to bail me out, how much should I pay you for it?"

Jürgen nodded very formally:

"This one is free. ”

"I heard from Sheriff Fasin about you, and I believe we will have many opportunities to work together in the future. ”

There are many opportunities for cooperation in the future...... Klein laughed and said:

"Lawyer Jürgen, I think you're cursing me. ”

Jürgen shook his head solemnly and said:

"No, that's not what you think, it's normal for a private investigator to have a regular cooperating lawyer. ”

You really don't have a sense of humor, sir...... Although you look young...... Klein scolded twice and smiled:

"I just wanted to find a lawyer to help me draft an investment contract. ”

"Investment contract?" asked Jurgen, slightly stunned.

"I know it's not a private investigator's amateur, but I happened to come across a good investment opportunity. Klein explained briefly, "Attorney Jürgen, how much do you have to pay for such a contract, according to your fee scale?" ”

"Generally, it is determined by the total amount of the contract and the degree of difficulty. Jürgen replied sternly.

"The total amount is £100, and the terms required are ......" Klein described his needs in detail, including pre-emption, negation, etc.

Jürgen thought seriously for a few minutes and said:

"£2 for you on Monday morning. ”

"Okay. Klein didn't say anything more about it, instead asking about what Hurgen had heard about tonight's case.

All the way back to Minsk Street, Klein took the initiative to pay for the rental carriage of 3 Soles, said goodbye to the young but serious lawyer, and walked to his house.

When he opened the door and entered, he saw a messy scene, and Crane was tired.

The beginning of his private detective turned out to be a loss.

Just as Klein took off his coat and buried himself in cleaning up the mess, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door in confusion and saw Julian, the maid next door, wearing a black and white dress.

"Hello, Mr. Moriarty, Mr. and Mrs. Summerer would like to invite you over to talk about the past. Julian said with a slight fear.

Here it comes...... The question of compensation...... Klein smiled and said:

"Okay. ”

He changed into a clean coat and followed the maid to the next door, where Luke Summerer and his wife, Starlene Summer, were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Luke, who was burly and had two beautiful mustaches, stood up and stretched out his hand, and chuckled in a low voice:

"Good evening, Mr. Moriarty, I found out that you are a private detective, and as a neighbor, you are really unqualified. ”

"No, it's my own problem, because I don't know if I'm a good fit for the industry, maybe I'll find another job when I go. Klein shook hands with the man and said, "I'm sorry for tonight's incident, and I'll make compensation." ”

"It was just an accident. Luke was relieved.

Blonde, blue-eyed, and delicate-looking, Starlene asked curiously:

"Did you really kill an intruder? Heh, I know you want black tea, right?"

Klein nodded:

"Maybe it's just a thief. ”

He did not say that the matter originated from the commission he had accepted, lest the Summers have a grudge in their hearts.

Since the police didn't tell them, I didn't have to do anything else...... Klein silently added.

Luke Summerer laughs:

"You're definitely good at martial arts, and as a neighbor, I feel safe, and maybe we'll have something to trust you with in the future. ”

Klein laughed at himself half-truthfully:

"Actually, I was almost killed. ”

"Either way, you're the winner. Luke said.

After chatting a few words on this topic, Starling took a sip of the white porcelain gold-encrusted teacup and said:

"I'm curious, how many commissions a private investigator can have in a week, and how much does it earn?"

Klein didn't hide it, and laughed:

"It depends, just like when there is a good harvest and a bad harvest in the field, I made £5 and 5 sules last week, but with what happened last night, maybe, there will be a loss. ”

Starlene didn't seem to hear the second half of his sentence, and said to herself:

"If you can maintain this income, five pounds a week will give you a pretty good life in the Jowood district of Beckland, no need to sublet rooms, be able to hire a maid to do chores, go to concerts every other week, or go to a drama opera, play tennis or squash once a week, go to a reading salon, go to a good restaurant...... Of course, if you're already preparing for marriage, you need to save a little, and a £5 a week is a bit close to being truly decent. ”

"And how much does it cost to be truly decent per week?" Klein asked, in agreement.

"£7, at least £7. Starling raised her chin slightly.

Crane turned to look at Luke and said casually:

"I heard from your wife that you work in Coim, and I don't know what your main business is?"

"Anthracite and charcoal. Luke replied with a smile.

No wonder you become a member of the Soot Reduction Association...... Klein muttered, "What is the salary of a manager in Beckland? I rarely read newspapers and magazines about that. ”

"Haha, it depends on what industry and what company, and the specific position, the first manager of Beckland Bank has an annual salary of 5,000 pounds, and I count the bonus, which is only between 430 and 440 pounds. Luke said casually.

That is, the weekly salary is 8 pounds...... No wonder...... Before Klein could speak, Starlene Summerer complained:

"Actually, we can live in the suburbs, then I will have a garden and a lawn, and Luke will also get a stable, and he will buy the brand new carriage and two young horses that he has been thinking about for a long time, but it will make him waste too much time on the commute to work, which is more precious. ”

A new carriage with horses costs about 100 pounds...... The £8 a week is really remarkable, but it's a pity that I didn't ...... long after the raise. Klein could only smile.

After a few more pleasantries, he said goodbye and left, and sighed secretly in his heart:

Mr. and Mrs. Summerer are still good people in nature, and if they are meaner landlords, they will have deducted the fee and refunded the money if something happened tonight, so I will get out......

Back at home, Klein began to work, not in a hurry to go to the gray mist to examine the warm current on the back of his hand, nor to do divination, because he was afraid that the special military department was still secretly watching him.

He decided to go to the bar Ian described tomorrow night to buy guns in case some people might be desperate for an attack.

Klein even planned to use this to find a channel to hire bodyguards, extraordinary bodyguards, powerful extraordinary bodyguards, this is to take the opportunity to contact the circle of extraordinary people without revealing himself, and second, he is afraid that the follow-up attacker found by the ambassador will have the ability to hide from the special military department.

While it's a little comical that a Sequence 8 extraordinary, a secret "vengeful spirit" needs bodyguards, safety is paramount to Klein.

If it's too expensive, I'll blow the brass whistle to Mr. Azik, which of course might be more dangerous...... I don't know enough about the seal "0-08"...... Cleaning up the room, Crane muttered silently.

............

After the purification ceremony, the man in the white hard-shell mask said to Hugh and Furth:

"No matter what evil spirit, it has been expelled by me, heh, if it reaches the level of an evil spirit that I can't get rid of, then it will just react, but it doesn't. ”

As he spoke, he poured the condensed droplets of water from the Sun Badge into a metal vial and handed it to Hugh:

"Go back and sprinkle it in the room and remove all the remnants. ”

"Thank you. Hugh paid the money distressedly, but he was also relieved a lot.

As soon as she and Furth returned to the living room, a note came from the waiter:

"Miss 'Arbiter' who bought the 'Sheriff' formula, would you like to go to the study and have a chat? I might have what you need. ”

PS: Two more are sent today, but there is no more at night.
