Mystery: Paradox Path

"Shh!"

After a soft sound that wasn't too harsh, the burly man slowly fell down. There was still confusion and confusion in his eyes. He seemed to want to cry out for help, but his slender and tender little hands were tight. He held his throat so tightly that no matter how hard he struggled, he could only make a "uh-uh" sound like the wind was leaking.

"It's simpler than I thought, it looks like it's just a Sequence Nine." Dragging a burly figure into the alley, Triss began to strip the grizzly bear's body—well, to be precise, stripping his clothes.

It's not that she has awakened any perverted hobby, it's just to be on the safe side.

Although the public security environment in the East District, as long as the body is placed here, within two hours, all the valuables on him will be swept away by the people who find him.

But considering that it is also possible that the Grizzly's faction found him first, Triss decided to complete the work by herself.

Throwing the found few soles and a pack of cigarettes into her pocket, Triss took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. Although women in this era usually wore pocket watches, Triss still thought she should be A man, so she still chose this male-biased timing tool.

His waiting time was not too long. After a while, a crystal drop of scarlet blood with a texture like mercury oozes out from the chest of "Grizzly". Gives a peculiar appeal.

"I've never seen this Beyonder characteristic, and I don't know which way it came from. I'll take a divination when I go back... If you can't find a buyer, you can throw it to that cat."

Triss wrapped her hands with spirituality, picked up the drop of liquid, and stuffed it into the cigarette case.

As for those cigarettes, Triss had already wrapped them in the peeled clothes, and planned to throw them into the Tussock River in a while—if they were thrown around, it would be easy for subsequent investigators to find them, thus locking them into the Extraordinary's crimes.

…

Just when Triss easily settled a business worth two hundred and fifty pounds (including Beyonder characteristics), Klein came to a residence.

This house is not a townhouse, but a small villa with a yard, and according to Klein's prior understanding, the rent of such a villa is even higher than that of the townhouse at No. 15 Minsk Street that he is currently renting. Row houses are even cheaper, only two soules more expensive than the rent at 2 Daffodil Street!

Thinking of Daffodil Street, Clyde's mood sank slightly, but the corners of his mouth turned up again, forming a bright and godless smile.

Considering the "extraordinary power" that appeared in the divination, Klein didn't plan to break in directly to investigate. Anyway, Mr. Melas didn't give him a camera, and even if he really discovered adultery, there would be no evidence.

Klein plans to go back first, and hand over the address here to Mr. Melas tomorrow to see if that gentleman has any further entrustment.

But just as he was about to leave, the door of the residence suddenly opened again, and a woman in civilian clothes walked out of it. Although she had dressed up, Klein recognized at a glance that it was definitely Mrs. Melas!

"Fortunately, I didn't go back directly... It looks like this is just a safe house for changing clothes?" Klein frowned slightly, but he didn't plan to follow Mrs. Melas. He was very sure that even if the other party changed clothes, he would still be able to. Instead of chasing while divination, it is possible to get some clues by investigating the house if you leave in a carriage.

With the help of Clown's balance and agility, Klein deftly climbed over the wall. Although it was broad daylight, Backlund's climate, which was hidden in clouds and fog all day, gave him enough cover.

Passing through the garden, Klein took a few steps to the side of the house. After looking around for a while, he easily climbed to the balcony on the second floor with the water pipe.

"I didn't see the servants... No, or are they all on the first floor?" Klein looked into the room through the balcony. After confirming that there were no servants in the room, he took out a card and easily opened the latch.

Klein didn't rush to enter the balcony, but carefully cleaned his shoes and walked in after confirming that no footprints would be left.

"Why is there so much dust?" Klein frowned, slightly puzzled. The furnishings in the house were neatly arranged, but a thin layer of dust could be seen, even though the air quality in Backlund was very poor. It will take a week or two at least to accumulate such dust.

However, this also made Klein a little bolder. After all, if it was so dirty, at least it meant that there were no servants to clean here.

Relying on the dexterity of the clown, Klein tried his best to reduce the possibility of leaving footprints. It was only after he ran the whole house that he realized that there were only a series of old and new footprints in the corridor on the first floor. .

These are typical lady's footprints, some of which have even been re-covered by dust, and these footprints all point to a door with a brass handle.

"According to the layout, this should be a guest room, right?"

Klein muttered, took out a coin from his pocket, and said silently:

"There are traps or traps behind the door. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

As his pupils became pitch black, the coin also bounced high with a loud bang.

When the gold coin fell, the upside-down side made him relax slightly.

"On the other hand, it means negation. There is no mechanism set up. It seems that this lady is not worried about someone sneaking in? Or, did she not expect it?" Unexpectedly, there was no dust in the room behind this door.

"Do you only clean one house?" Klein walked carefully into the house, but found nothing worth paying attention to. There was a jewelry box on the dresser with a mirror, and inside it was a set that should have been worn when traveling today. Jewelry, the clothes you wear when you come here are neatly stacked in the closet, other than that, there are only a few cheap civilian clothes.

"Is it really just a safe house for changing clothes? But Mr. Melas' mansion is located in Hillston District, so even if you go out in casual clothes, there will be no problem!" Klein became more and more puzzled by this lady's behavior. He got up, but soon, he thought of a possibility to untie a brand new blue crystal pendulum from his wrist—this was recreated by him before coming to Backlund.

He held the pendulum with his left hand, took out a note with his right hand, and wrote a line on it—

"In this house, there are secret rooms or secret compartments."

Although it is also possible to use coins for divination, when there is a relatively stable environment, Klein still prefers to use the more accurate pendulum method.

Along with closing his eyes and silently reciting the divination sentence, Klein's spirituality slowly spread, and the spiritual pendulum in his hand began to rotate rhythmically.

After chanting seven times, he opened his eyes—

The pendulum is turning clockwise!
