Chapter 282 Invitation

Wednesday morning.

"Breaking news! The 'Aurora Society' and 'Jack' committed a crime at the same time, insulting each other on the spot!"

"Extra..." The newspaper boys of the "Derrick Gang" shouted and ran harder than usual, because not only did they get a piece of buttered oatmeal bread to eat in the morning, but they were also promised that the reward for delivering newspapers would depend on how many newspapers they delivered! There was no upper limit!

With the popularity of today's news, it is not a dream for one person to get several soles!

They couldn't help but sigh:

"Thanks so much to the Aurora Club and Jack, I hope they will have more news."

……

"Great Detective Isengard, I really have no other choice..."

The middle-aged man wearing the sheriff's badge took a deep breath and said to the great detective in front of him:

"The focus of the Storm Church is still on the Aurora Society. They are such a bunch of violent and brainless guys! The serial killer is clearly committing crimes rampantly!

"Our top management has already contacted me. Sivellas is willing to pay a reward of 1000 pounds to catch the murderer! I dare not say anything about others, but if Detective Isengard takes action, the reward will definitely belong to you immediately!"

Isengard Stanton took a puff of his pipe, silently flipped through the latest case report, and frowned:

“This may not be a case that ordinary people like us should be involved in…

“I can’t promise you that I will catch the murderer myself, but I can analyze the case and the methods used to commit the crime for Sivella.

"At the same time, I also need to form a team, a team of detectives..."

……

15 Minsk Street, Chorwood District.

jingle.

Peiman opened the door and saw a middle-aged gentleman. Before she could speak, the gentleman said:
"Ms. Watson? Compared to Sherlock, it sounds more like a woman's name..."

"Yes, please come in. The fog in Backlund is still thick today." Peiman smiled. The two of them were really going to be famous! Another commission came today! Soon they would be able to live the life of a detective choosing commissions!
The "client" came to the reception room, greeted Sherlock, and said directly:
“I’m not here to ask for a commission. Well, it can actually be considered a commission, right?
"I'm here for the 'Jack the Killer' that is now in charge of the Sivellas Field. As far as I know, they received a 'report letter' the day after the first victim was killed. The letter clearly pointed out that it was a 'serial killer' who would definitely continue to commit crimes. Now everything seems to have come true... I wonder if you two have any clues about this?"

Leonard was shocked. Peiman had sent the letter under a disguised identity, but she was actually found at his door? !

"Haha, really? The whistleblower is truly a 'prophet'!" Peiman smiled, and with her left hand she very lightly touched the revolver at her waist.

"Stop! I surrender!" The middle-aged gentleman smiled bitterly, raised his arms above his head, and said:

"Young people are so impulsive, Ms. Watson, please put the gun away, I mean no harm.

"I'm Eisinger Stanton, a detective like the other two."

Peiman paused, then slowly pulled out a fine revolver from her waist and turned off the safety in front of the two men. She had realized that the other party's observation and crisis forewarning abilities were extraordinary! "Huh, Ms. Watson is also a sharpshooter, right? I also know another female detective, Kaslana, who is also very good at using guns..." Isinger put down his hands and said in a relaxed manner:

“Back to the point, I have a pretty good reputation in the detective circle, and I am also somewhat respected in the Sivellas field.

"I'm going to gather a detective team. There will be people who are good at investigation, people who are good at fighting, and of course, we need two people with sharp minds and strong reasoning abilities. Well, based on my observation just now, Ms. Watson is also a very good shooter... Haha, the combination of the two of you really leaves us 'ordinary' detectives no way to survive..."

Leonard was not overwhelmed by the flattery, because he knew very well that a few days ago, the two of them almost lost their breakfast, lunch, and dinner due to lack of commissions...

He hesitated for a while, because he had already sent a second report letter to the Nighthawks, and asked a child to deliver it... According to his own prediction, the monster-like black dog would be eliminated soon! But the fact is that another follow-up incident happened last night...

Seeing that Leonard didn't say anything, Peiman quickly took over the conversation and said:

"You're too polite. All detectives who come to Backlund should have heard of the name of Great Detective Isengard! You are the real reasoning detective!

"We are both new here. We only heard your name but didn't recognize you. I'm so sorry!
"But we have two more troublesome commissions and may not have time to participate..."

"Silveras Field has offered a reward of 1000 pounds. If we can successfully resolve this matter, we can share the money..." Before Isengard finished speaking, he heard Peiman's firm words:

"Okay, let's join in!"

……

Detective Eisinger agreed to meet at his house the next day and then left. Leonard asked in confusion:
"Pei Man, it's not a good idea for us to get involved like this. If it's just for the money..."

Peiman shook her head and said:
"No, this is an invitation from a truly famous detective. A newly arrived 'detective' has no reason to refuse. If he refuses, it will be suspicious...

"The person who wrote the report is either a real criminal madman or... a real murderer. We cannot be treated as murderers. Our fake identities cannot withstand too strict investigation...

"It's okay. Didn't we just say we won't participate in the field investigation? We'll just help look through the information and analyze the clues. We can at least get some reward later, right? That should be possible, right?"

Leonard touched his nose and replied:
"The bounty is 1000 pounds, so it's worth it if we get 10 pounds! I understand, let's take this opportunity to help Backlund catch that damn black dog!"

Peiman smiled and said:

"You finally cheered up! That's right! Anonymous reports will never be trusted... This may be the reason why Black Dog is still committing crimes..."

[“Something is wrong. The interval between killings has changed... Boy, cheer up. This case is not that simple.”]

"Ah?" Leonard asked in his heart but got no reply. He picked up the newspaper and said to Peiman:

"Well, I noticed that the time between crimes committed by this 'Jack' seems to have shortened... Maybe this means that something happened to him?"

Peiman hesitated for a moment and said:
"I think it was the 'Aurora Society' that provoked the murderer? After all, look at the message they left at the scene:

"'Jack son, the Aurora fathers show you the true art.'

"What a mockery! If I were Jack I would be furious!
"Hey, when it comes to the Aurora Society, we should be careful! We still don't understand what their attitude towards us is!"
