Mystery: The Star Key

Chapter 51: Original 221B

In the small living room at 221B Bakersfield Street.

The fire was burning brightly, bringing a cosy warmth in the winter.

"So... Mr. Igna Lilance..." Joshua's eyes widened, "Not only the conductor of the first train of Backlund Rail Transit, but also the angel investor of the project. At the same time... "

"Again, playwright Igna Sue Lilance himself!" Jennings took Joshua's words.

He looked at Igna with some excitement. The azure blue eyes like the sea seemed to sparkle.

"Melissa, you never said that our tickets came from the playwright himself." Jennings looked at Melissa with some friendly reproach among his friends.

"However, the movie ticket doesn't come from the playwright, does it make a big difference to you, Jennings?" Melissa blinked.

"It's the same ticket no matter who it's from."

"No no no." Jennings waved his hand, "It's different."

Jennings blinked at Melissa, and also looked at Igna, with a smug smile.

"If I knew my ticket was from a playwright, I'd have to brag about it among my colleagues."

"Come on, aren't you bragging now?" Joshua shook the red wine in his hand and pierced Jennings mercilessly.

"Every time Mr. Lance Lee's new drama is released, the whole Westvilles knows you, forensic doctor Jennings Wenzel, you don't need to grab an infield ticket for a great position!"

"Two." Jennings interrupted Joshua. And looked at his fiancée Mary, who was smiling at him behind him.

Jennings winked at his fiancée, then looked at Igna and Joshua.

"If I knew the ticket came from the playwright himself..." Jennings smiled meaningfully.

"Then everyone in the Civellas Field will know—"

"Not only did I, Jennings Wenzer, not have to scramble for tickets, I was able to sit in the interior of the Trafalgar Theatre and watch the playwright Igna Sue Lelance's new work on the first day of its release. "

"My ticket also came from the playwright himself!"

"What a majestic statement that would be!"

Jenningston paused and raised the wine glass in his hand, as if paying his sincerest respect to Igna.

"The goddess once said that in ancient times, there were singers who sang and there were songs of praise and thanks to the gods."

"Since Schelling's departure, I have rarely been moved by words." Jennings retrogrades the stars on his chest, "Thank you Goddess, thank Mr. Li Langs, and thank Miss Melissa."

"Makes me feel moved again."

"Praise the goddess." Joshua, Mary, and Melissa also tapped their chests.

And Igna drew the prayer gesture of the Church of Fools on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Praise Mr. Fool. Thank you Mr. Fool for giving me inspiration and motivation to complete the play, and I was fortunate to meet him in Backlund. Like-minded friends."

"Huh?" Jennings noticed this keenly.

"Mr. Lilance, do you believe in Fools?"

"Igna, just call me Igna." Igna smiled and nodded lightly, "Yes, my belief is Mr. Fool."

"That's such a coincidence." Jennings laughed, "My former roommate also believed in The Fool."

"He is also engaged in writing work, and it is because of him that we can meet Melissa."

"Maybe the same investor, Li Langsi first... Igna." Jenningston paused and looked at Igna. "You may have heard of him?"

"His name is Sheerin Hill. A family."

Igna was stunned, looking into Jennings' sincere eyes. He smiled and nodded: "Of course I've heard of it."

Jennings' eyes lit up.

Joshua, who was on the side, could not help but sit up.

The two of them looked at each other almost in unison.

"Then Igna, have you... seen Schelling?" Jennings put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Yes." Igna nodded with a smile. "The last time I saw him, I heard from him that he planned to go to the New City of Silver in Bayam, Rhodes Islands to collect materials."

"Rorsted Islands..." Jennings repeated incredulously.

"Bayam..." Joshua couldn't help but exchanged surprised glances with Jennings.

"The new City of Silver?" Jennings' fiancee, Mary, responded immediately, "Is it the country of silver that came out of history written in the travel magazine?"

"Yes." Igna smiled again.

"Silver City is a new city emerging near Bayam. Many people are choosing to travel recently."

"Byam, so far..." Jennings murmured.

"It's reasonable for Schelling to go to the City of Silver." Joshua knocked on the armrest and raised an eyebrow at Jennings.

"Jennings, don't forget, Schelling's new work is called The New City of Silver."

"Oh, that's right." Jennings patted his forehead suddenly.

He stood up and took out a book from the special layer of the bookshelf, showed it to everyone, and said with a smile, "I have read this book twice."

"So those books were written by Schelling?" Mary asked in surprise.

There is a dedicated row on Jennings' bookshelf for books written by the same author. Each book is carefully placed in a custom book box.

"Yes." Jennings nodded with a smile, "Schelling's pseudonym is 'Wheel of Fortune'."

The celebration will be held until ten o'clock in the evening, which is not too late.

After a full meal, Igna Lilance and Melissa Moretti left 221b. Joshua saw too much snow outside the window and planned to stay at Jennings' house.

So, after Igna and Melissa were gone, Jennings and Joshua sat on the familiar little sofa, the fire still burning brightly.

Joshua was still sipping red wine in small sips.

Mary also returned to the room to rest after Melissa left because she drank too much.

And Jennings himself, for some reason, didn't mean to rest.

Just finished the family gathering, met new friends, and chatted with new friends from all over the world.

But after the noise, he felt a little lonely.

They talked a lot about Schelling-related topics.

He suddenly missed that friend a little bit.

"I don't know how he is now." Jennings looked out the window.

Although The New City of Silver was a new book published two months ago, he knew very well that Schelling was his roommate.

A book goes through a long process from submission to publication. Even a book from the best-selling author "Wheel of Fortune" takes at least 2 months to review, proofread, print, distribute...

That is to say, it was at least 4 months since Schelling wrote the book.

Will he still be in Bayam? Now take a leave of absence to go to Bayam, can I still see him?

Will he be willing to meet them?

Although Jennings is well aware, Joshua also told him that Schelling's "leave without saying goodbye" and "no contact" was for their protection and safety.

But Jennings still misses his former roommate.

They once made an agreement in this room that they would play Texas together during the New Year's holiday.

Although it was New Year's holiday, they also drank and played Texas Hold'em. However, it still makes Jennings feel a little lonely.

"Are you talking about Schelling?" Joshua, who was sitting next to him, replied softly.

Jennings went to the window and looked out at the still snowy street. It snowed a lot today, and Backlund looked like a city of ice and snow.

"Well." Jennings nodded.

"There is no winter in Bayam, so it must be much more comfortable than us." Joshua smiled and looked out the window.

"Click-"

At this moment, the door suddenly heard the sound of the key being twisted open.

In Jennings and Joshua's suspicious and wary eyes, an "uninvited guest" pushed in.

He was wearing a trench coat, top hat on his head and unmelted snow on his shoulders.

His skin didn't seem to have been tanned from his stay in Bayam, and his jewel-green eyes were the same as when he parted. It is still as warm as a fountain of inspiration, and it shines like a star.

"Sorry, I came back late."

Sherin Hill hung his top hat and trench coat where he used to hang by the door.

Jennings rubbed his eyes.

Isn't he dreaming?

"Are you still playing cards?" Schelling asked with a smile, while holding up the Sunia blood wine in his hand, "I brought you some specialties from the Sunya Sea."

Jennings and Joshua were both stunned.

Their eyes were full of disbelief.

However, Lengzheng was only for a moment, and then Jennings walked quickly... No, almost trotted to Schelling, opened his hands, and gave the traveler who was still wearing the wind and frost a hug.

"Shellin."

Jennings hugged Sherin Hill tightly.

His voice was still enthusiastic, but with a slight choking.

"Welcome back."

Sherin Hill seemed to have heard Jennings' emotions, and he was stunned.

But immediately, he also smiled and patted his friend's back, and also responded with a hug with the same force.

"Sorry, I'm late." Schelling said again, this time his voice was soft and soft~www.readwn.com~ with a strong sense of guilt.

"not late."

Joshua walked up to them too, giving the two friends a bigger hug.

"You came just in time."

"Yes. Just in time for your return." Jennings quickly regrouped.

He couldn't help but pulled Sheerin to the sofa where he used to sit and pressed him in. Then, he found Schelling's glass and poured him a glass of still warm mulled wine.

"The night has only just begun."

Jennings shoved the red wine into Schelling's hand, then raised his chin and said with a serious face.

"You have a lot of time and we put your reasons for being late from the ground up."
