Chapter 211 Klein: It Was a Closed Loop After All
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Lorne's suddenly wary question, an ethereal voice came from behind him.
"No, it's nothing—maybe I'm just overthinking it." Lorne shook his head slightly, pretending to be nonchalant.
But his gaze remained fixed on the direction Hugh had just left, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
It felt exactly the same as when I purified her at the party last time—
Was that prying gaze directed at her?
It seems necessary to conduct an investigation into this young lady as well.
On the other side, above the gray fog.
Looking at the fleeting image before him, Klein was filled with confusion. "Just now—was that James Scott in the picture?"
He was in the living room organizing the information and letters about "Lorne Disenk" when he suddenly received a very brief prayer.
And it's still a rest...
He initially thought the young woman had hired someone to perform an exorcism. But to his surprise, he saw James Scott in the scene.
Because the image flashed by so quickly, he couldn't see clearly what had happened. However, one thing he was certain of was that the situation had been extremely dangerous. Furthermore, the client named James Scott was definitely not just some ordinary rich kid.
"I knew something was off about this guy. He's definitely an extraordinary being too!"
When he accepted the commission, Klein sensed something was off about the other party. And what he just witnessed completely confirmed his suspicions.
The only thing he regretted was that the "live broadcast" was too short, making it impossible for him to see what was attacking them, and some of the attacks were blurry.
That's strange—why did Scott end up with Hugh?
Also, could that thing in his hand that emits golden light be the same one that performed the exorcism on Hugh at the party last time?
"That's very possible! I was just saying, he looks kind of familiar!" Klein pondered.
But why would he go looking for Hugh? Wait a minute!
Klein's pupils suddenly contracted!
Back then, the commission to find Lorne Deacon was personally handed to me by Hugh Deacon!
To be honest, he was quite surprised when "Justice" recommended Hugh Deercha to join at the Tarot meeting!
Could it be that "Xiu entrusted this task to me within the guild"?
"Then I asked Miss 'Justice' for help with the investigation at the Tarot meeting."
"Then Miss Justice gave this mission package to Hugh—"
"And then stop nagging me just to get it over with—"
Klein's expression instantly twisted.
Doesn't this create a perfect closed loop?!
So, our previous investigation was actually a way of putting pressure on each other?!
The reason Hugh was urging me so much was because she was also under pressure from "Miss Justice."
After forcibly calming his somewhat messed-up mood, Klein managed to get his thoughts back on track.
Could it be that James Scott has already found out that Hugh is also looking for Lorne Disenker? Is that why he deliberately approached her?
Klein glanced at the letters James Scott had given him, which were lying on his desk.
Because every time he tried to divine anything related to "Lorne," all sorts of unexpected things would happen, Klein dared not directly divine his specific movements anymore.
But the letters on the table were still acceptable; through divination, he had confirmed that they were indeed written by Lorne Disenck himself.
"Looking at it this way, James Scott is also quite suspicious. He probably has ulterior motives for asking me to find Lorne."
Klein picked up the letter on the table and read it again.
"well·--
It seems that the truth of some things can only be fully known by finding Lorne Disenk himself.
"Hey, our great detective, still busy?"
It wasn't until evening that Irene returned to 15 Minsk Street. She looked at Klein, still engrossed in his work at his desk, and made a sarcastic remark.
"Hmm," Klein simply replied.
After spending so many days together, he has roughly figured out how to get along with this woman.
This woman often makes suggestive jokes, trying to seduce me. As long as I can remain calm and completely ignore her, she'll be the one who ends up feeling awkward.
"throat·-"
Looking at Klein, who was still engrossed in his work, Irene pursed her lips.
Pfft, I don't believe it!
"Are you still alone?"
"Um."
On a high vantage point of an inconspicuous building in the East District, Lorne listened to the information relayed back by his bodyguard and nodded slightly.
Just as he had predicted, the detective named Sherlock Moriarty did indeed come to the East End, and even went through a series of investigations in a seemingly professional manner.
Because he was too busy to be in two places at once, Lorne wanted to offer more compensation to have his bodyguard help him keep watch at several other locations where clues might appear.
However, perhaps because he hadn't competed with her for the werewolf's spoils, the bodyguard was unusually generous and didn't ask him for any additional reward.
To be honest, after they teamed up to deal with that werewolf, the relationship between the two of them became somewhat delicate. Lorne knew very well that this bodyguard had definitely realized that he also seemed to have a considerable entanglement with the "Rose School".
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain his skillful handling of that werewolf.
A more extreme possibility is that the female bodyguard noticed her abnormality first, and then became her bodyguard—
The bodyguard herself was certainly aware that she had noticed her.
However, the two of them tacitly avoided discussing the matter again.
It's not time yet. Let's finish dealing with Sherlock Moriarty first, and then find an opportunity to have a proper talk with her about these things.
Since we're both being targeted by those lunatics of the "liberal faction," then the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The bodyguard storyline might—in the future—come in very handy.
