Chapter 301 Warlock's Diary
The opened box mainly contains some good fabrics Clothes, with a few books in the clothes, a small silver wine bottle, a pocket watch and a few black and white photos on the side, the person on the photo is Jonathan Le Maire.

This is the first time Shade has seen a photo of a dead crew member.

The lawyer introduced:
"Mr. Le Maire hopes that if he dies of illness and has a body, then Mrs. Le Maire, who received the inheritance, will arrange for his funeral. If he died in a shipwreck If there is no body, then Madame Le Maire, who has received her own inheritance, needs to buy a tomb locally, bury the photo in it, and make sure that his soul will not be lost in the ocean."

This is the superstition of sailors, They believed that if there was no grave after death, the soul would be permanently seabed with the body.

"No problem."

Mrs. Le Maire's eyes were a little red, and Shade went to help check the relics again. He just checked the clothes, and to his surprise, Jonathan Le Maire actually had the habit of writing a diary every once in a while. There were five diaries, and each page was densely packed, recording trivial matters at sea.

"Jonathan Le Maire is actually quite literate."

Shade was a little surprised whispered that the font on the diary was much better than his, and it was very organized, Misspelled words are rare.

“Le Maire Uncle went to the seaside to make a living after offending the local sheriff. He was a very nice guy who read story books to us when we were kids.”

Mrs. Le Maire explained with a whimper.

"Yes, for this business, I have exchanged several letters with the friend of Mr. Le Maire who kept the will. According to his description, Mr. Jonathan Le Maire was one of the crew members. , a rare and very literate person. It is also because of this that he was able to accumulate so much property in Coldwater Harbor as an outsider in just ten years. His friends spoke highly of him.”

As the lawyer spoke, Shade had opened those diaries. The diary that recorded the events of the last few months was buried seabed with Mr. Le Maire, and the latest diary that appeared here was six months ago.

In the process of flipping through, Shade found that in addition to Delarion, there were actually Kasenrick words mixed in. Even, occasionally there will be some more partial languages, and even ancient languages.

After translating the text written in the gap, the meaning is probably:

[Today is the third month of becoming a ring warlock, I decided to rent a small house in Lengshuigang , to hide the casting materials and books.]

Shade closed the diary with a snap, his face did not change, but the hand holding the diary subconsciously exerted force.

Le Maire is about Ring Warlock. He didn't even disclose it to the warehouse dispatcher who was doing illegal business with him, and in the legacy in front of him, he didn't see anything related to Ring Warlock. item .

The date of the diary I just saw was two years ago, in the fall of 1851 on the universal calendar. If the diary is not forged and Mr. Le Maire's safe room is still in place, then it means that there is a relic of an ownerless ring warlock in a house in Cold Harbor City.

The ring warlock must be organized, but there is a high probability that the safe room where private items are stored will not be disclosed to others, which means.
Shade has another reason to go to Lengshuigang City.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Stable and put the diary back in the box, Shade nodded to Mrs. Le Maire.

"All the estates that need to be transferred are here, please double-check, and if there are no problems, please sign this document to confirm that you have received everything on the list above."

The lawyer handed over another document, and added:

"Of course, you can also print your handprint."

"I will write my name."

The middle-aged woman whispered.

Shade helped read the documents that needed to be signed, explaining the misunderstandings as he read the lawyer. After confirming that there was no problem, Madame Le Maire took the pen and signed her name with the pen in an awkward posture, confirming that the inheritance had been fully received.

She probably doesn't write very often, and the letters are even uglier than Shade's.

"The last is the lawyer's fee, according to the method we have negotiated. Part of it will be paid by you directly to the Tobesque Bar Association, and the other part will be paid directly to me, with 1 pounds 3 shillings to facilitate tax avoidance."

Nodded by Laurier's lawyer sorry, Mrs. Le Maire took out some of the banknotes from the banknotes in front of her and handed it to him.

The lawyer took another look at Shade, and seeing that he was sitting there without moving, he knew that this middle-aged woman who had suddenly acquired a large amount of property must have promised a lot of return to make the detective like this. Do your best. Although curious about the detective's income from this business, he still grabbed the coat from the back of the chair and said his goodbye ethically:
"Mrs. Le Maire, you have my contact information. Detective, this is my business card. , if you have any legal needs in the future, you can contact me directly. Don't go through the Lawyers Association, that group of vampire's commission is too high, this is not considered private work."

Said the second half of the sentence He blinked at Shade, and Shade knew nodded, knowing that the local legal profession is not as free as the detective profession.

Afterwards, Shade also handed over his business card.

Lawyer Laurel took it, looked at it and raised his head in surprise:
"I just said that I read the newspaper last time and thought the photo looked familiar, and the last name of Hamilton, so you are in the newspaper"

He smiled, without saying the title "Hamilton of Rejed":

"so that's how it is, Mrs. Le Maire, what you are looking for. That's right, this Hamilton detective is indeed very reliable."

After finishing speaking to the somewhat puzzled middle-aged woman, she took the business card and put it in the breast pocket of her white shirt:

p>

"The Hamilton Detective at St. Teresa Square, I have accepted the business card. If the client encounters trouble in the future, maybe he will come to you for help. After all, the detective and the lawyer have a considerable probability of cooperation. ”

Shade shook hands, and then politely said goodbye to Mrs. Le Maire, then took the briefcase, put the coat on his arm, and left here quite dashingly. This look looks different from the Rhodes players who met last time at the tavern.

Maybe people will be addicted to Rhodes cards, but there are not a few people who can reasonably control their desires. In this noisy and crazy era, Rhodes, alcohol, cigarettes, and maybe more things are tempting people to deviate from the normal life trajectory, but even an ordinary person can rely on good self-discipline and habits to save themselves from swallowed by darkness.

Probably this kind of person deserves a decent and prosperous life.
