"In the Tingen City area, including east, north, west, South District, Golden Wutong District, Docklands and University District, there are a total of 1,203 houses with dark red chimneys, plus 550 houses in the suburbs of Tingen City, a total of 1,753 houses."
"It seems that dark red chimneys are really popular..."
Looking at the documents covering the desktop, Angel sighed helplessly, put down the paper in his hand, picked up the coffee cup, took a sip and put it down with a frown.
The coffee in this coffee shop isn't even as good as Miss Rozanne. If it weren't for avoiding other Nighthawkss, she wouldn't want to come here at all.
Sitting opposite her was Klein, also holding the document with a confused look on his face.
Layered on top of the stacked documents is the Tingen City map, which is densely marked with red dots. In residential areas, it directly connects into a shocking red dot, covering almost all locations on the map, making the positioning information useless.
"I didn't expect that the Detective agency you found was so efficient. It took less than a week to find all the information. The Detective agency I entrusted is probably still running around on the streets."
Putting down the document, Klein joked about his personal Detective in amusement.
"After all, it cost several times more money," Angel folded up the useless map and put it aside, "Don't cancel your commission. When you get the information, you can compare it. Maybe you can find some omitted houses."
Klein nodded.
"I think so too. During this period, I will first check the places where the tenants have changed recently, especially the houses that have been rented out or sold after the time of my divination. That is likely to be the place where the person behind the scenes who noticed and interfered with my divination lived."
"Well, if he found out that he was being divined, he would probably change his residence or simply leave Tingen to avoid being visited by the official Beyonder... Wait, you said 'you will investigate'? What about me?"
Angel was halfway through the analysis when he suddenly realized that the action plan mentioned by Klein did not include him.
"This is a scene I divined. Only if I see it with my own eyes can I confirm whether it is or not," Klein explained. "Even if you help search for it, I will probably need to confirm it again, which will not speed up the progress."
"But it can help you eliminate some obviously incorrect options. The sketch you provided has gardens and vegetation, but it is obvious that Tingen City will not have so many dark red chimneys and single-family buildings with gardens. I removed these Error options in advance, which can save a lot of time."
Klein, who had planned to refuse resolutely, looked a little relaxed.
"The longer it takes, the more likely the person behind the scenes will leave and even make other arrangements."
Angel used Persuasion's ability to make up for it.
"Okay, I will draw a more detailed scene for you tomorrow. You start with the North Borough building. I will first visit the houses that have recently changed tenants."
After sighing, Klein gave in. He sorted the documents on the table into categories, handed the part of the file marked North Borough to Angel, and put the rest into the document bag.
"I will pay back the 30 pounds for the investigation next month..."
Klein's remaining words were stared back by Angel with sullen eyes.
"This is not your fault alone. Mr. Azik said that there are inconsistencies in my destiny. You have found clues through divination. How can I let you spend all the investigation fees?"
Angel had just withdrawn 100 pounds from the Backlund Bank Tingen branch in the morning. Even after paying Jules Detective Agency the final payment for the investigation, there was still a full 85 pounds. At this moment, he felt quite wealthy and could not help but speak louder.
Klein, on the other hand, has the same salary as her, but he has to support his sister's education and pay the rent of Daffodil Street's single-family house. Even today, we met outside at a more civilian coffee shop. Angel was not willing to let him pay for the 30 pounds commission fee.
By the way, speaking of commissions...
"Klein, I heard today that the police are looking for a fraudster named 'Lanevus'..."
Angel told Seer, who was short of money, what he heard at Jules Detective Agency.
As long as he moves his pendulum and does some divination, won't he get the money?
Klein, who heard that the bounty was a full 100 pounds, did not show the surprise she expected, but smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I also heard about Lanevus at 'Seer Club'. Some of my old clients even found me, hoping to use my divination to find him."
"Unfortunately, this fraudster is very smart. The information provided is basically false, and no personal belongings were left behind. I can't perform divination based on just a name, or even a pseudonym."
As if he thought of something indescribable, his face became a little strange, and he was silent for a moment before continuing, "One of the victims is a relative of Lanevus's fiancée, and the poor fiancée is already pregnant with his child. These victims even want me to try to use their unborn children for divination. To be honest, there is really nothing closer to Lanevus than this..."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
"Pfft——"
Angel couldn't help laughing at first, making Klein sitting opposite her also smile.
"This is too embarrassing for our Mr. Seer. Maybe by the time the child is born, the fraudster has not been caught yet, then you still have a chance to earn the bounty."
"Then I have to divine first whether the poor child can be born normally. His aunt has been persuading Lanevus's fiancée to abort the child."
Klein also smiled and echoed, and then said seriously, "But I will no longer be 'Seer' soon. Do you remember what I told you about the special application?"
"Hmm, of course I remember, but according to the captain, it took Ms. Daly, the fastest promoted person, a full year. Are you sure you have to submit the application in less than two months?" Angel replied, a little worried that he was too radical and would attract the attention of the church's senior officials and attract too much attention.
Klein picked up the coffee cup with a smile and seemed to be organizing his words. After finishing the cup of coffee that didn't taste that good, he spoke:
"This is what I'm going to do next. You should already know how to quickly master Potion's 'Acting Method'," Klein said in a very determined tone, without waiting for Angel answered, and continued, "And because I mastered this method, and through working part-time at Seer Club, I fit the image of Potion and quickly completed the role - how about this?"
After sabotaging Curse Altar's action, he seemed to stop hiding his specialness in front of me... Is it because he had been "open and honest" with me and Leonard, so he wasn't going to pretend?
He knew that I had been promoted to "Instigator" of Sequence 8, so he guessed that I had mastered Acting Method through the speed of my promotion?
Looking at Klein who was talking eloquently, Angel secretly analyzed it and asked casually, "Then how do you explain where you got the information about 'Acting Method'?"
"From Ms. Daly," Klein seemed to have drafted the script a long time ago, speaking more and more fluently, "I believe you have also heard about Ms. Daly's deeds from the captain. From it, I summarized the performance method that fits the name of Potion, and in practice I did it more thoroughly and more effectively than she did."
"So the 'padding' you said is just to prepare for this excuse?"
Angel has guessed what he was thinking.
"Yes, I plan to gradually reveal this method to the captain and other members of the Tingen City team within these two weeks, so that they will think that it is the experience I have gradually summed up, and then one day 'fully master the power of Potion'."
Listening to this bold plan gradually taking shape in the other party's mouth, Angel couldn't help but have some thoughts. She had been promoted from Enmat Harbor to Instigator, but she still couldn't find a way to tell Nighthawks revealed this internally, which made her subsequent promotion difficult. After all, the methods of "Instigator" are easy to hide, and the various Beyonder Abilitys of "Witch" cannot be hidden from teammates who fight together.
Now Klein plans to submit a special application this month. If he can also apply at the same time, can he also "free ride"?
But if promotion within the church is the same as Klein taking "Seer" Potion, which needs to be configured on the spot and then taken, what should you do if you are already "Instigator"?
Should I take the risk and give it a try, or should I wait for Klein to submit the application first and wait for his experience summary?
Listening to Klein continue to improve his plan, she once again fell into trouble.
