The Lord Of The Mysteries
The Chapter 194



"Mrs Sharon?" Dunn obviously knew about the widow of Baron Khoy, a well-known socialite in Tingen.


Maynard's wife turned to glance at the skinny woman who had come with him to the Blackthorn Security Company, but she did not speak for herself.


The skinny woman in the black dress and hat weighed her words before she spoke.


"Yes, Mrs Sharon, wife of the late Baron Khoy. Him, him…"


He stuttered, then suddenly spat furiously, "He sucks!"


Upon hearing her curse, Klein suddenly recalled the porn he had seen and the behavior of Madam Sharon who looked nervous on the surface but was calm deep down. It made him believe the rumors about him, and he felt sorry for the old baron who had died.


It's not that Mrs Sharon can't marry again. But his loose behavior really makes the old baron's grave a perfect nesting ground for cuckoo birds…


Dunn did not have much change in her facial expression. He sat down on the sofa opposite him and said in his soft voice, "But that doesn't make him a criminal.


"you know it clearly, and I know it clearly, too. Madame Sharon was very influential in Tingen. If we follow him and watch him, there may be very serious consequences for us."


"He's a criminal!" said the skinny woman furiously. "He caused the death of my brother, but his lover pressured the police department and made them announce that my brother died from excessive drinking and constantly indulging in s3 sexual pleasures. I-they're all criminals!"


Klein realized that the skinny woman was Maynard's sister while once again feeling sorry for the old baron.


That's right, for such a scandal, he would definitely not send a servant here. It is better if a request is made by the family .. He nods his head in enlightenment.


Mrs Maynard patted the back of the skinny woman's hand and added in a deep yet cold voice, "He's a villain! If you suffer a loss because of this, I'll recoup your loss."


That tone. She lived out her identity as the daughter of the New party leader. If the police department is not too confident in the results of my mediumship ritual, I fear that they will give up under his pressure.


Dunn was silent for nearly twenty seconds before she said, "Alright. Why do you seem so sure that we'll find something?"


The skinny lady nodded and said, "Tobacco merchant, Vickroy, introduced us here. He says that you are the best in the industry and can complete missions that no one else can accomplish."


Tobacco merchant Vickroy.. Who is he? Klein looked at the Captain subconsciously and noticed that Dunn Smith looked very confused.


I'm so stupid, why do I expect the Captain to remember something like this. After all, even I don't really remember.


The emaciated woman saw that the two elite mercenaries looked puzzled, so she added, "You saved her kidnapped son."


Oh, he. The kidnapping case led me to the discovery of the Antigonus family notebook.


Dunn slightly nodded and said, "i understand."


After seeing this, the skinny woman gave her offer, "You should follow and monitor the prostitute for two weeks. Even if you don't find any evidence of his crime, you should take note of who visited him.he and who he visited We will pay fifty pounds for this.


"And if you find evidence of his crimes, we'll pay an additional two hundred pounds."


When Klein suddenly remembered that he had only spent seven pounds to hire Detective Henry to gather so much information about the red chimney house, he became a little embarrassed.


Dunn thought for a moment before saying, "No problem, we can sign a contract now.you have to pay a twenty pound deposit in advance."


Captain, we're really short of manpower right now. There is a big case regarding Lanevus. Klein did not expect Dunn Smith to accept the mission even though he himself was very interested in accepting it.


Madame Maynard slightly nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Please don't disappoint me."


Dunn smiled but remained silent. He turned his head and told Rozanne, "Please write a contract."


When the contract is signed and the bail is paid, Dunn sees Mrs. Maynard and the skinny woman leave the Blackthorn Security Company. He then looked sideways at Klein and said, "This mission will be yours."


"Huh?" Klein looked confused.


Dunn smiled and said, "Do you not want to learn tailings techniques and monitoring skills? This is a good opportunity. Turns out you're done with your part in the Lanevus case, too."


"Alright .." Klein did not refuse the task.


As he accepted it, his mind started to spin rapidly.


Regardless of whether the investigation was successful, there would be at least twenty-five pounds in revenue. Moreover, I will receive a weekly salary as usual.If I can really find some clues, I can even receive a hundred and twenty-five pounds!


The captain is a wise man!


Dunn glanced at him and said, "Learn the tailing techniques and monitoring skills from Leonard and Frye in the morning, and postpone your combat training for the week. I thought you were trained enough, so I'll send someone to tell Gawain."


Learn tailings techniques and monitoring skills from Leonard and Frye? It didn't seem too reliable. Klein was dumbfounded. He could imagine Leonard using only one method: playing his Feynapotter lyre while singing a melodious poem. Later on, he might be luring Madam Sharon to bed to "watch her up close." As for Frye, she had a unique aura to her. He was cold and moody, so wherever he went, he would attract the attention of others. How can such a person be a good spy?


As his thoughts churned, Klein replied seriously, "Alright."


Dunn slightly nodded and walked towards the partition. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and hesitated before speaking.


"Do you remember the tobacco merchant? What's the kidnapping about?"


… So you don't remember anything or understand anything... Why are you acting so calm and confident!? Klein looked away.



According to Leonard's guidance, Klein was in no hurry to tail Madam Sharon, though he knew that she lived on Osna Street in the East Borough.


"Until you know the target routine, you can't follow your target carelessly. Plus, monitoring alone makes it difficult to record everything. Unless you don't eat, drink, sleep, and go home" Leonard said. Therefore, Klein followed his advice and found one of the triad bosses at Hound Pub and spent five pounds to get his subordinates to monitor Madam Sharon and record her daily routine.


Fortunately, this can be replaced. Why does it feel like I'm subcontracting.On Friday afternoon, Klein received an investigative report from the triad boss.


Calling it an investigative report is definitely an insult to professional detectives. None of the subordinates of the triad boss were literate. They rely on images and symbols, which are then interpreted and organized by their semi-literate boss who has been attending Sunday School for a year. Klein got a headache just from reading it and it took him quite a long time to finish reading the report.


According to the surveillance, Mrs Sharon has rarely left her place lately. Not many guests who visited. He may be affected by the death of Maynard. They even gathered information from Madam Sharon's servant.Hmm, she is going to attend a Conservative party banquet tonight. He may come home quite late, or may not return. Klein quickly decides to sneak into Madam Sharon's house and look for her.


With the end of his duties regarding the case of Lanevus, the temporary suspension of combat training, and the end of the Qilangos incident, Klein had only two problems. One was to investigate the red chimney house, and the second followed and monitored Madam Sharon. In other words, he was relatively free.


Two days ago, he had received Mr. Azik's reply. There was only one word in the letter.


"I got Creeping Hunger and remembered something."


Klein finally confirmed that it was Mr. Azik who killed Qilangos and that his long-lived amnesiac teacher was the High Order Offender. However, he did not dare to ask her what she remembered with the help of the Creeping Hunger. Azik obviously did not want to talk about it. If he was willing to share, he would describe it directly in the letter.


In Klein's reply, he simply reminded Mr. Azik that the Creeping Hunger craves flesh, blood, and the soul of a living human being. He had to find a safe sealing method.


Moreover, Justice and The Hanged Man had not prayed to him, but Klein was not worried. He understood that the two members were afraid of being watched, so they did not mention his name carelessly.



Gas street lights illuminate the straight Osna Road at night while the red moon hangs high above.


Klein, who slipped out with the Clown's balance and agility, jumped over the outer wall of Madam Sharon's house quietly.


Passing through the garden, he arrived beside the house. He climbed a water pipe and slipped into the balcony on the second floor.


Klein had never even managed to climb a tree when he was young, so it was quite a monumental event.


He took out a tarot card from the pocket of his black jacket, put it into the gap of the balcony door, lifted it lightly, and unlocked the door.


The servants were very careless. Otherwise, I should try to get in by climbing through the window. Klein muttered softly and went inside the house.


Based on the information provided by the triad boss, he found Madam Sharon's bedroom easily. He turned the knob and stepped into the room.


He closed the door carefully and suddenly smelled a faint scent. It reminded him of the scent of a woman that caused the veins of others to swell.


Klein felt a little faint, and he even felt his body react.


She soon calmed down with Cogitation and made a self-deprecating comment, "He used an aphrodisiac as a perfume?"
