Chapter 29 Gamblers
Dr. Clay is a little older, but less than fifty middle age person. His figure is a bit bloated, but it is well controlled under the limit of "fatness".

Only has no hair on her head, so she wears a distinct brown wig, which makes her eyes look involuntarily upwards when talking to her up close.

"Dr. Schneider will definitely not be back today?"

Shade, who was holding the cat, confirmed unwillingly that the orange cat Mia had probably never had a similar occasion in the future, and now she is in high spirits The stared wide-eyed look around.

"Yes, when the steward of count came to invite Bill, he had already stated the time of this visit."

The doctor repeated.

"Then do you know Dr. Schneider's friend, Miss Dorothy Luisa? Do you know where she lives?"

Shade asked again, if looking for If you don't have a doctor, other ring warlocks in the same group can also be used. When it comes to the Evil God statue, he must find someone who can handle it with care.

"Yes, of course I know her. She is a frequent visitor to our clinic and often comes to visit because of anorexia and insomnia. But I can't give out patient information at will."

Gr. Dr. Lei said apologetically, and Shade knew that his request was too much, so he could only choose to leave a message to Dr. Schneider.

The Evil God statue with the remnants of the old god, although not a [relic], is still quite valuable.

Even if the Academy does not recommend ring warlocks and get four elements by contacting such weird items, it is possible for those professors with more than nine rings and tenure-track positions in the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy. Through the remnants of the old gods, the stories belonging to the old gods are written in the language of power.

This is definitely much safer than Shade being directly influenced by the remnants of the old gods today, so whether it's worrying about Lady Lasoa's purpose, or just wanting to contribute by reporting this, It is necessary to let Dr. Schneider know about this as soon as possible.

But since the doctor is not around, we can only wait patiently. Shade impossible reported this matter directly to the church, not because the statue of the bloody old god would be taken away by the church, but because he really didn't know how to report anonymously.

"But the doctor will be back tomorrow, so it probably won't do anything if you wait another day."

With this thought in his arms, he left the doctor's psychological clinic with the cat in his arms. . But there was always a sense of unease inside, which caused Shade to be nearly hit by the carriage at the intersection because of distraction on the way back to St. Teresa Square.

Shade walked out of the house early in the morning, but because the commission to find the orange cat was too smooth, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon when he got home.

He and Mia both had lunch outside, so there is nothing to do right now.

Shade put the cat at home, and Xiaomia is still used to the unfamiliar environment, rolling around on the sofa, or looking around in every corner of the room.

Shade recorded the whole process of this cat-hunting commission in detail in the ledger and record book left by the detective, and wrote it in strict accordance with the format of the previous detective.

After I finished writing, I looked through the detective's past records, and planned to complete the remaining two simple commissions, namely, the girl who ran away from home and the search for a doctor. .

This will give you time to investigate the detective's past acquaintances for possible secrets that Sparrow Hamilton may be hiding when you get the materials from the Academy on Wednesday.

So Shade spends the afternoon sorting through all the relics of the former detective and valuing his property. In the evening, I took the cat out to eat again. On the way back, I bought some breadsticks at the bakery near the square, and served it with the milk in the morning for breakfast.

Of course, we can't forget about the high-end cat food. Now that he has received the money, Shade will take care of the orange kitten seriously.

So, within two days of coming to this world, Shade has become a young detective with a cat and a job living in the central square of the kingdom's capital.

"Thinking about it this way, my luck is actually pretty good... I just don't have money."

In the evening, I spent my time studying [Time and Space] and [Silver Moon]. Because I came into contact with the remnants of the old gods today, the accumulated [Miracle] elements were transformed into more spirits, making the silver rays of light at the fingertips more dazzling.

But still no attack power, the lighting is enough.

Shade also experimented with the ability to ignite the paper, which was also enhanced by the gain. Although the young orange cat was frightened by the heat of the paper in Shade's hand, he hid in Shade's arms and refused to leave, but Shade was very happy about it.

This kind of study was terminated at about nine o'clock that night. Shade was sitting in the study reading the doctor's notes, troubled by the doctor's cursive writing, when he heard the bell downstairs ringing.

The cat that was lying dormant on the table immediately got under the table, as if frightened.

Shade comforted the timid Mia, walked out of the room in doubt, and followed the stairs to the foyer on the first floor.

"Could it be that the doctor returned to the city early and saw my message?"

But no, after the door was opened, there was a nervous short man in a black coat outside. A yellow-haired middle-aged man, presumably the client who came to find Detective Sparrow Hamilton.

Shade's first official commission has arrived.

The man's name was Raggett Franklin, an accountant who lived in the Western District of Tobesque and worked for "Hunter and Rolla's Textile Factory". This is not the first time he has come here to commission, and he is also acquainted with Detective Sparrow Hamilton, so he is very shocked by the death of the former detective after being invited in by Shade and served with black tea.

"Sudden disease, not even effective treatment."

This is the former detective's explanation for his own death. Medical treatment in this era is not developed, and doctors' treatment methods I have just come out of the routine of "bloodletting" and "irrigation", so it is not very rare for someone I know to suddenly die of a serious illness.

"I am the detective's nephew in my hometown, and I have inherited the detective agency. Sparrow Uncle entrusted it to me before he died."

Introduction by Shade The identity that the former detective made up for himself, seeing that Mr. Franklin believed this statement, he asked:

"Although Sparrow Uncle passed away, I can also complete the commission with a cheaper way of completing the commission. Excuse me. , why did you come so late?"

I don't know if I was moved by Shade's sincerity or the promise of "cheaper", the middle-aged accountant hesitated before talking about his own affairs.

Although they live in the royal capital, the Raggett Franklins are just an ordinary family in this northern pearl of the old continent. Mr. Franklin, the husband, earned his living as an accountant, and Mrs. Franklin worked as a scribe in a nearby private library.

The only child in the family, little Franklin, is the biggest headache for the husband and wife. He was originally a good child in the family, but since he met a group of gang of scoundrels on the street, he has been with him all day long. They hang out together, and gradually become infected with the bad habit of gambling, hanging out in night clubs and underground casinos, stealing and squandering money from their homes.

Mr. Franklin came here twice before for commissions, the first time was to let detective Sparrow Hamilton look for little Franklin who had not come home for three days, and found it in the underground casino in the slums of Northern Part of City . The second time was for the detective to bring out little Franklin who had been in the "Lucky Southern Cross Club" for three days.

The club's main business is alcohol, but it turns into an underground casino at night.
