Mystery: The Star Key

"Mystery: Key of the Star(

Ignatius' eyes flickered, wondering if Jennings' words meant anything.

But Jennings' expression did not see anything unusual.

"Shelling is a novelist. What's the name of the novel?" Jennings asked, putting down his teacup. He was still sitting upright on the sofa chair, his back straight like a steel gun. But it is very strange that he did not make Igna feel oppressed when he sat in front of Igna.

"Strictly speaking, it is a preparatory novelist." Ignat lowered his head and sipped a sip of Marquis black tea, and replied, "The kind that has not officially started writing."

Jennings was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Come to Backlund to collect materials?"

"Yes." Unlike Jennings sitting upright, Igna leaning on the back chair with a relaxed posture, "Becklund is full of indescribable charm to everyone who is interested in writing."

Jennings' eyes lit up.

"Jingle Bell--"

But at this time, the doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting the next conversation between the two.

So many guests today? Igna was stunned.

However, in theory, his identity should not have anyone familiar in Backlund.

Igna looked at Jennings, obviously he was also a little dazed.

"I'll open the door," said Igna. There were no maids or servants in their apartment, only Mrs. Harder was entrusted with cleaning and washing twice a week. So you have to do all the chores yourself.

-

Igna quickly went downstairs and opened the door.

After opening the door, unsurprisingly, I saw a stranger holding an umbrella at the door.

His height is about 178cm, and he looks like he is in his twenties. He has a neatly shaved but stylish flat head, and he has a pair of deep blue eyes. But obviously he didn't rest well, his eyeballs were covered with light bloodshots, hiding a bit of exhaustion.

The visitor was wearing a relatively casual gentleman's suit, with a well-packaged gift bag in his hand. But when he saw that the person who opened the door was Igna, he was obviously stunned.

"Hello sir, who should I look for?" Igna asked politely.

"Hello, sir. I'm looking for Jennings, Jennings Wenzel," replied the gentleman equally politely. "The landlady says he lives in 221b."

"Yes, Jennings is upstairs." Igna replied, and stepped aside to open the door, "Please come in first."

Ignatius led the strange gentleman upstairs, and Jennings stood up in surprise when he saw the approach.

"Joshua, why are you here!"

"Come to congratulate you on finding your new home." Joshua raised the gift bag in his hand and smiled.

Ignatius, who was standing at the door, saw Jennings walking quickly and excitedly, and gave Joshua a very warm hug in front of Ignatius.

"Shellin, this is Joshua. Joshua, this is Sheerin." After a brief warm welcome, Jennings quickly introduced the two friends to each other.

"Joshua Leeds, Sheriff of Seavelas Field. We used to study together at the Goddess's Academy, and he introduced me to work as a forensic doctor at Seavelas Field." Jennings pointed to the ashes Joshua with blue eyes introduced.

"Shellin Hill, a new preparatory novelist." Jennings smiled, showing a grateful expression, "We met once at the Retired Officers Club, probably Goddess Blessing, let me in Baker again The street met him."

"It was his generosity that kept me from sleeping on the streets on days like this."

Jennings Wenzer introduced the situation in a few words, and Ignatius also found that Joshua's nerves had been tense since the meeting, and he relaxed after hearing the name of the retired officers' club.

After Jennings' introduction, Joshua reached out and shook hands with Igna.

"Thank you very much for your kindness." Joshua said.

Hearing this sentence, Igna couldn't help but smile knowingly, but he resisted the urge to stretch out his hand and point out the stars in the middle of the night on his chest. His current status is special, and if possible, he wants to avoid the Nighthawks as much as possible.

Now the Church of Fools is a righteous church that can preach openly in the Kingdom of Loen, and Mister Fool obviously has a good relationship with the goddess. Coupled with the existence of Senior Xiao Zhou, Igna finally chose this identity to put his true beliefs on the table.

"Mr. Fool taught us that we should help others as much as possible." Igna devoutly made a prayer gesture from the Church of Fools.

Joshua and Jennings were stunned for a while, but quickly responded. The two of them quickly tapped four times on their chests and said reverently, "Thank you goddess."

-

The aroma of marquis black tea is dense.

After two cups of tea and some small snacks, Joshua finally relaxed completely.

Joshua's habit is somewhat similar to Jennings', sitting on the stool with a straight back. You can tell from their sitting posture that they are all very well educated.

"Why are you here so early?" Jennings Wenzer asked. "It's only ten o'clock in the morning. Are you coming at ten o'clock in the morning with Southville wine? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to drink during the day, Mr. Officer? "

"Well, it's a bit." Joshua Leeds glanced at his gift bag, turned around and tugged at Jennings, but did not continue to speak.

Igna sat on the side, seeing this scene, some understanding. He looked at Joshua and Jennings and said, "Would you like some coffee?"

"I remember Mrs. Hudson had a good Feneport Plateau coffee, and I went to her to celebrate Jennings' housewarming."

Igna noticed that Joshua seemed to have something inconvenient to say in front of him, so he planned to find a reason to give Joshua and Jennings a chance to be alone.

"No, no need." Joshua said to stop it, "Sir, you don't have to leave on purpose, you'll be fine here, it's fine. I don't want to drink coffee either, I want to have a good dream tonight."

Joshua was suddenly incoherent, and after he finished speaking, he rubbed his forehead.

"Sorry." He said suddenly again without end, "The pressure has been too much these days."

"I was supposed to take a morning off today, but I really couldn't sleep." Joshua said, "I feel significantly better in this place."

Ignatius raised his eyebrows inadvertently. Joshua Leeds's words reveal some unexpected information.

"Has something happened to the West Velas Field recently?" Jennings asked in a low voice.

"Well." Joshua hummed a single syllable in his nose, "Anyway, the validity period of the employment letter is still two months. I suggest you not to report to our police station recently."

"The recent Backlund has not been very peaceful, although Backlund has never been truly peaceful."

Joshua lowered his head and took a deep breath of the aroma of black tea, and sighed, "But this time is different."

Igna's mind moved, and he remembered the information about the famous detective Sherlock Moriarty that was recently sent to him, and the rumors about the heroic detective Abner Bryan that he heard when collecting the information. .

These two well-known detectives have handled many famous cases in Backlund, and these famous cases have been officially reported.

However, many events look the same to the public~www.wuxiamtl.com~ but look different to the Extraordinary.

"Similar to the Demon Ripper of 1349?" Ignatius asked softly.

That was a horrific case that happened in Backlund.

Because of the heavy casualties, the **** death and the special commonality of the victims, this case has been widely circulated among the general population.

Specifically, a serial killer committed consecutive crimes in Backlund, killing 11 people with very cruel methods.

Moreover, these 11 people are basically all women, wearing gorgeous long dresses when they died, and then being brutally cut open to remove their internal organs.

In the end, the case was officially resolved. However, because of the particularity of the case, there are a lot of rumors. All kinds of books and gossip are endless.

However, all the gossip ultimately points to the great detective Sherlock Moriarty. Everyone agreed that the detective had found the trail and clues of the Demon Ripper.

Igna didn't doubt it. Because Sherlock Moriarty is Mr. Fool's favored person, and this matter sounds very obvious traces of demon worship. The event must have involved a Beyonder. And "The Fool's Blesseds" have always dealt with incidents related to the evil gods.

Joshua and Jennings were a little surprised when they heard Igna's speech.

But Joshua nodded lightly after taking a deep look at Igna.

Well, going to Abner according to the timeline and plot is impossible to meet Ignatius. So if I insist on linkage, I can only let Abner run a simple trick, and it has become a legend passed down by word of mouth... If you interact too deeply on my timeline, everyone will definitely mess up. Let Abner be a legend here!
