Chapter 291 Rebellion
Friday morning, September 9, Viscount Kelly's house in the West End.

Jurgen, dressed in a tuxedo and bow tie, led Leonard and Peiman to the reception room, where a man with dark blue hair and who looked very young was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the paper in his hand.

As the three approached, the young man raised his head at the reminder of the servant next to him. He smiled and said:

"Lawyer Jurgen, you are here. Are these two the detectives you mentioned?"

"Yes, please allow me to introduce you," Jurgen said with a serious expression:

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Ms. Watson are an excellent detective team. They solved the commission I had proposed cleanly and neatly, so I believe that with their abilities, they can definitely solve your troubles.

"This is my employer, the real controller of the Perpetual Motion Machine Company, the honorable Viscount Kelly."

"Good morning, Mr. Viscount! It is our honor to serve you!" Peiman was wearing a women's suit, looking intellectual and generous.

"Dear Sir, can we listen to your commission?" Leonard was puzzled. As a viscount, there are so many ways to solve his own problems, right? Why would he hire a detective to do something?
"Jacob, just call me Jacob," the young noble rubbed his temple and said:

"Mr. Detective, Ms. Detective, I think you two are both very concerned about the recent serial murders, right?"

"Yes sir, we are even working with Sivellaus Field, led by a famous detective, to catch the criminal,"

Peiman didn't call the other person by name. She noticed that when the other person heard the title "Viscount", he smiled bitterly... So she deliberately omitted the title and continued:

"Unfortunately, the criminal was very cunning, and our suggestions and search plans were not very effective."

Leonard derived a lot from the other party's name and said:

"Sir, is it the word 'Jack' left by the murderer at the scene that is causing you trouble? Those bloody words cannot serve as any evidence at all, you can rest assured about that."

Jacob took a sip of the black tea brought by the maid and smiled gently:

“No, I never cared about that name, and I had Jurgen, a professional lawyer, by my side, who told me about it right away.

“You two are very humble and very pragmatic… that’s great.

"My real commission is the 'Aurora Society' murder case, which is parallel to the serial murder case."

Aurora Club!! This word trembled in Leonard and Peiman's hearts. They looked at each other in surprise. The maids who had just put down the tea and snacks in front of them also quietly withdrew. In the huge living room, only the Viscount, the old butler beside him, Lawyer Jurgen, and the two of them were left...

"I'm sorry, honorable sir, we don't have the ability to investigate that terrorist organization... no matter how much the commission is, we can't get it..." Peiman said.

Jacob shook his head, put the paper in his hand on the table, and handed it to the two of them through Ergen. He said:
"I don't dare confront the Aurora Society directly... I just want to know the common features of the victims selected in the two recent murders, that's all.

“I need you to investigate the social relationships, common hobbies, backgrounds of the two deceased, and even where they read books when they were young… I want to know everything.

"This investigation is troublesome, but not that troublesome. It's just easy to offend people and may be difficult for some departments...

"So my initial reward is 100 pounds, and then you can name any price you want, even 1000 pounds is fine."

Shit! Peiman resisted the urge to agree. She looked at Leonard and asked for his opinion. Leonard frowned slightly. He held a piece of paper in his hand, which contained the simple files of the two deceased persons:
Islam Osisleka, a psychiatrist... Another Kerby Mead, a cloth merchant...

On the surface, they had nothing in common, the only thing they had in common was that they were both killed by the Aurora Society... Judging from the tone of the young noble, the deceased was not someone close to him, so what was his purpose in investigating this matter? Interest?

Leonard's thoughts surged. This commission was indeed within the normal range, because the "dead" would definitely not attract the attention of the "Aurora Society"! This meant that the two of them would not come into contact with the "Aurora Society" during the investigation! This was good news!

[“Take it. Use the money to buy more high-quality ingredients and ask the girl to make more delicious food for the old man.”]

"..."

Leonard nodded to Peiman with a tense expression, and Peiman's eyes lit up. She turned around and said:
"We've accepted this commission! Don't worry, we'll uncover every bad thing the other party's ancestors have done!"

Jacob was amused. He waved his hand and the old butler immediately took out a thick stack of banknotes and placed them in front of the two men. He said:
“Forget about the eight generations of ancestors, that would disturb the peace of the deceased.

"I personally respect the dead very much, and there are reasons why I have to do this.

"Jurgen will help draft the terms and there will be advance payments. You can always come here to find me when you have a harvest. Mr. Butler will arrange it."

……

"Young Master, wouldn't it be faster to ask Mr. Blue directly about this matter? Given his status in the church..." The old butler couldn't help but ask after sending everyone away.

Jacob curled himself up on the sofa and said weakly:
“Old Man Blue… He would only say: Good death, good death for all psychiatrists!

"Well, if the Aurora Society is really targeting all 'psychologists', then Audrey might also be in danger... I have to go and warn her and protect her.

"Heh, Father Blue gave me three potion formulas. Doesn't that mean Audrey is already a Beyonder...

"'Mind reading', if she could read my mind... that would be great.

"It's a pity that she doesn't even bother to look into my heart..."

The old butler hesitated for a while, then said resolutely:
"Master, if you want to marry Miss Hall, the only way is...

“Bring down the Hall family.

"Mr. Blue can do it. He can do it! I will go back to Tingen and beg the master! The master and him are friends for life! I will go and beg him. I will kneel in front of him and beg him..."

Jacob closed his eyes and murmured:

“The Hall family has collapsed, is Audrey still the same Audrey?

"Who on earth am I admiring? She is so high up, as if everything is under her feet... and I am so humble and insignificant, curled up in a corner, just looking up at her.

“I’m fantasizing about being able to get out of my corner and become like her?
"What kind of feelings I have for her...I can't figure it out."

He suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that his previously deep blue eyes had turned golden, more like an animal than a human! Then he closed his eyes again, and opened them again, and the eyes returned to their original appearance.

Jacob smiled bitterly:
"'Audience'... it's really dangerous."
