Chapter 308 to Coldwater Harbor

"Okay, I'll give you a message within a week. Since you only need Well-known research groups, I don’t think they’ll even use it for a week.”

Professor took the envelope containing the money, and put it aside without looking at how many banknotes were in it, then said rather a bit sorry. :

"Detective, actually I was planning to go to Luysha in the next few days. I have that dream again."

"What? How?"

"What?"

p>

Shade was startled. It had been nearly a month since the [Happy Dream Pen] went out of control. Miss Luysha clearly confirmed that the professor's body was recovering quickly and that he did not suffer any more mental effects.

"How many times have you had a dream? When?"

"Once, just yesterday."

"Give me your hand then."

Shade grabbed Professor Manning's right hand and made a listening expression amid the professor's worried expression. After more than ten seconds, he relaxed and let go of the professor's hand:
"Don't worry, it's not that kind of problem, you're safe."

In the state of close contact, "she" Didn't feel the slightest Whisper element in the professor.

"Then why do you have that kind of dream?"

Professor Manning asked inexplicably. Having experienced a serious illness not long ago, the current state of the Old Mister cannot be said completely. recover.

"I'm not a scholar and can't explain the dream. But I suggest you go to a psychiatrist friend of mine."

Shade didn't have Dr. Schneider's business card on him, so I have a pen and paper to write down the address for the professor, and said while writing:

"My friend is just an ordinary person, very good at this kind of mental illness, he will help you."

The professor blushed and asked hesitantly:
"So my dream is."

Shade nods:
"Yes, at least this time, really It's just your own dreams. But rest assured, I don't believe in the unsubstantiated claim that what you think during the day turns into a dream at night, so it doesn't give you any doubts. It seems to me that it may be It was the last incident that left you with a deep psychological trauma."

After writing the address, he got up and said goodbye very wisely, judging from the expression on Professor Manning's face when he came downstairs to see him off, There is a high probability that the professor will really go to see Dr. Schneider.

Having said goodbye to the professor, Shade planned to go to Lengshuigang City today. At this time, more than a week has passed since the mermaid statue, and there is no need to worry about such a dangerous thing affecting myself. At the same time, even if the next blood money cannot be found in the port city, there is still a safe room around warlock Le Maire found in the diary waiting to be explored. Shade is looking forward to his harvest.

Although this trip is convenient, it is also a little dangerous, so Shade does not plan to take his cat to the beach. And because he was worried that he would be trapped in Lengshuigang City at night and would not be able to come back, after returning to St. Teresa Square, he took Mia out again and found a female writer at home on Quill Street.

When exam week is over, she's going to start a detective novel series in Steam Bird Daily. The first story is based on what Shade heard from the two ghosts in the cemetery, so there is no need to go out to collect materials during this time, Miss Luysha It shouldn't be far away.

"Let me take care of Mia again? Oh, of course."

Miss Writer was very talkative, took the somewhat reluctant cat from Shade, and asked curiously One sentence:
"What are you going to do this time? It won't be a dangerous thing again, right? I said, this kind of"

"No, no, this time is the same as the last time. Land, but not dangerous this time."

Shade said, Miss Luisa nodded:

"Same destination. Well, I'll take care of it for you Cat, I don't have any travel plans today, but remember to come back early. Also, don't bring any more fish as souvenirs."

"No problem, but the last fish soup tasted really good."

p>

Shade said with a smile, patted Mia's head, and left after saying goodbye to the blond female writer amid the cat's reluctant meow.

Miss Luisa didn't take him downstairs, but stood at the window with a sullen Mia in her arms, watched Shade's silhouette appear on the street, and then walked away along the street:

"Longer Harbor, the last place. Have a nice holiday."

The corners of Dorothy Luisa's mouth twitched and she laughed (note).

Once Mia is settled, Shade can spend the day exploring. This time, there is no need for troublesome pre-trip preparations, because after stuffing the ordinary items that he needs to carry into his suitcase, he directly turns the suitcase into a puppet with a cloth and hangs it on his waist.

The only relics you carry with you are [Gun of Kindness], [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] and [Pirate's Blood Money], these three items and the spell-casting material "Weather Vane Blue" that cannot be turned into a toy. "Grass Extract Thinner", an alchemy item that can be used with a disposable sun gun, and two Founding Series Rhodes cards, all packed in waterproof canvas to carry around.

Frog legs and bone meal can be turned into toys, these two items are not supernatural by themselves.

After finishing everything, locked the door, and entered the hidden space behind the basement wall. After chanting the incantation and touching the Ancient God statue, they successfully came to the dark cave under the sea cliff outside the city of Coldwater Harbor.

Because this road has already been traveled once, it only took two 13 points this time, and Shade landed on the remote beach of Lengshuigang City Pier.

Although the weather is a little gloomy in Coldwater Harbor today, there is no rain. Shade climbed out of the sea soaked all over, so he had to wipe the water off his hair with a towel on the beach, and then put on a clean coat and pants before he dared to enter the city.

Still choose to stay at the Golden Rose Hotel on Hoglunds Avenue in the Docklands, under the false name of John Watson. It was 10:40 a.m. that morning when Shade dropped his bags and started changing dry socks and underwear.

Choosing the same hotel as last time also means that you want to determine whether the last thing has been investigated on yourself. But after waiting in the room for 20 minutes, I didn't see any suspicious police or ring warlock squad appearing, which made Shade relax a lot, knowing that he can act a little more casually today.

He came to Lengshuigang for two purposes. The detection of blood money had to travel all over the city, so Shade thought of going to see the safe house of the crew member, Mr. Le Maire.

The estate he bought included three diaries in which Shade discovered the exact location of the safe house and Mr. Le Maire's complaints about nearby restaurants in the fall two years ago. .

Similar to Ms. Luyisa's renting a dilapidated house in a remote alley, Augustus first rented a basement from a friend, and a seafarer who went to sea all the year round rented a three-story apartment in the city. Even in order to prevent himself from staying in the new continent for a long time, each time he pays the rent, he pays a one-time payment for one year, so Shade does not have to worry that the safe house has been found.

The safe house is also located in Coldwater Harbor's Docklands, specifically, on New Denton Street two blocks from Mermaid Lane, where the incident occurred last time.

This street is dedicated to the trading of fishery goods in the wharf area. Whether it is the purchase of local restaurants or the large-scale transactions of foreign merchants, they are all carried out here. The street is slippery, and there are many fish shops along the street. You can smell the stench even before you turn into the street.

The ground is paved with gravel and the street is big enough for four carriages to drive side by side. The sound of shouts, wheels running over the ground and noisy conversations converged, giving the harbour city a strong sense of life assaults the senses.

Seagulls circling overhead, feral cats at the corner of the alley that crosses New Denton Street, glare like a tiger watching his prey hunting for prey, or fighting with his kind for ownership of a garbage dump .

Shade walked down the dirty, damp alley into the street with his hands in his pockets. There was some blood in the puddles under his feet, and the smell of fish in the air made him a little uncomfortable. On the right hand side is a shop that sells fish. The shallow tin fish tank is placed directly in front of the store. The huge black sea fish swims in the water, and the splashes from the occasional tail swing make the ground more traces of stagnant water.

Looking up to the right, 41 New Denton Street is the destination. Shade glanced at the sun behind the cumulonimbus clouds, then pressed the black hat over his head, and walked over with his feet up.

Stepping up the steps, the rusted door made Shade hesitate for a moment. After knocking on the door, it took two minutes for someone to open the door.

The door was opened by a thin old man in a white wig and on crutches, his eyes were sunken in their sockets and his nose was very large. The old man is probably younger than Augustus Priest, and the age spots on his face are very obvious:
"Who are you looking for? If it's a robber, go somewhere else, the poor people live here."

Glancing at Shade and seeing that it was a stranger, he spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and then wanted to close the door.

But Shade's hand was on the door, and he said to the rude old man in the door with a very heavy accent:

"Does George Anthony live here?"

This is Le Maire's pseudonym.

"Mr. Anthony died, and the inheritance was given to distant relatives. I'll help him pack up. Don't ask me for any identification. He died in the sea without even finding his body."

Shade said.

The old man who opened the door looked at him suspiciously. Half of Shade's face was hidden under his hat. No matter how he looked, he was suspicious:
"Dead? How do I know what you said? The truth? Even if he dies and doesn't see the will, I won't let anyone take anything from me. This house is mine, and even if it's rented to someone else, it's mine. Oh , Damn, you also said that you are not a robber, hurry up, hurry up, or I will call the police!"

It means that he wants to swallow Le Maire's things.

But since Shade dared to come, he was well prepared, and he knew from his diary how bad the landlord here was:

"Look at what this is. "

As he said, he pulled his coat slightly open, revealing the pistol hidden in his waist. Then, he shook the small document in front of the old man:
"Are you literate?"

"MI6!"

PS: I said last time Princess will stay in Coldwater Harbor for a week, but it has been two weeks since she last went to Coldwater Harbor. This will be explained later, not a bug.
