The red chimney corresponds exactly to the elements in the picture, and the surrounding environment also corresponds one by one to the elements in that picture.
He did not choose to go deep into the investigation. After all, the commission he received was to find the location of the red chimney.
7 pounds, I should go to my not-so-generous young employer to submit the task and ask for the remuneration I deserve.
"Found the red chimney?"
Klein received the news and rushed to the private detective agency.
Henry took a puff of cigarette and nodded: "Yes, I have been walking in the streets and alleys of Tingen during this period. I missed my target several times, but I finally found the place you requested."
Seeing that the commission had been completed, Klein had no choice but to pay a fee of 7 pounds. He expressionlessly took out 1 pound notes from his arms, a total of 7.
Although he felt that the fee of 7 pounds was a bit high, he would not go back on the deal he had agreed to.
After leaving the private detective agency, Klein had the correct map to the red chimney.
This was a place where he divined that there might be important secrets, so he spent a lot of money to entrust a private detective to help.
Now, the place has been found.
He felt that he should explore the area first to see if there was anything abnormal.
After thinking about it, Klein called a carriage and got in the carriage to prepare to go.
Halfway through the carriage, Klein asked the coachman to stop and only paid him half the fare.
He originally wanted to go and investigate alone, but after thinking about it carefully, it was too unsafe to go out alone.
Furthermore, at the very least, he should conduct a divination on the safety of this matter, right?
Taking such a reckless risk in a suspicious place is not at all in line with my cautious policy.
He felt that he needed to go home first and conduct divination before considering this issue.
After thinking about it, he chose to walk home. He had just spent a huge sum of 7 pounds, so it would be nice to save some money now.
When he got home, Klein closed the door, took off his coat, and took off the citrine pendant from his cuffs.
Take out a pen and paper and write on a blank piece of paper: It is safe to explore the area near the red chimney!
He held the pendulum with his left hand, making the pendant perpendicular to the divination sentence on the paper, almost touching it.
Then he gathered his mind, entered meditation, closed his eyes, and began to repeat silently: "It is safe to explore the area near the red chimney!"
Over and over again, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum, only to see the citrine pendant rotating slightly clockwise.
This means affirmation.
The results of the divination showed that it was safe for him to explore the area near the red chimney.
Klein put away the citrine pendant, thought for a while, and murmured: "This matter might involve Ince Zangwill, so be more careful."
He felt that it was necessary to go to the gray mist for divination, where the divination would not be easily affected by extraordinary factors.
He packed up his things, opened the door and went to the bathroom, locked the door, walked four steps backward, and arrived above the gray mist.
In the hazy gray mist, in the majestic temple.
Klein sat at the top of the long bronze table, with the parchment that had just materialized in front of him.
He picked up the round fountain pen and wrote down the divination on the parchment.
Divination sentence: It is safe to investigate the area near the red chimney.
Hold the pendulum in your hand, pendant vertically, and silently recite the divination sentences several times, so that your own spirituality can interact with the power of the spiritual world that is above all else.
Feeling the silver chain shaking gently in his hand, he opened his eyes and looked at the divination result this time.
The citrine pendant is rotating counterclockwise, very slowly, as if it is being greatly hindered.
This result is completely opposite to the result of divination in the real world.
This made him certain that if he really went to explore the area near the red chimney alone, he would be in danger and might even die!
"It's really dangerous. Fortunately, I came above the gray mist to do another divination."
Klein was thankful for his own caution, and it also made him more determined not to take risks lightly when encountering potentially dangerous situations in the future.
Who could be interfering with my divination?
The defected Archbishop Ince Zangwill?
Was he trying to interfere with me through divination, so as to lead me to the vicinity of the red chimney and then kill me?
Klein thought quietly and believed that this was the most likely possibility.
If his guess came true, it would prove that Ince Zangwill, who was hiding in the dark, had already set his sights on him.
Since he failed to lead me to the red chimney this time, he will definitely think of other ways to deal with me.
This was terrible. He couldn't always be on guard against Ince Zangwill's schemes. He should tell the captain everything and let him make the decision.
It would be best to invite a few powerful Beyonders to search Tingen thoroughly. It would be even better if Ince Zangwill could be caught.
But how should I explain these problems?
It's impossible to say that I combined the contents of Roselle's diary and guessed that Ince Zangwill might be hiding in Tingen and was planning in secret.
"What if the captain discovers these problems himself?"
Klein thought for a long time and made a decision.
He planned to guide the captain to discover Ince Zangwill's conspiracy, and at the same time he had to find a way to protect himself so as not to be killed by Ince Zangwill.
"You can't just leave the red chimney alone, can you?"
"You can report it to the captain and tell him that the red chimney might be related to Antigonus' diary. After all, this thing has an unusual connection with me, and it is enough to attract the captain's attention."
“This should be the best solution to this matter.”
He did another divination, and the divination statement was: Telling the captain the truth would put himself in great danger.
The result of divination is affirmative.
He could understand the divination result. If he were Ince Zangwill, he would also have murderous intentions towards the extra variables that had been affecting his plans.
"It's very dangerous."
Klein sighed, thought about it, and decided to change the divination.
Divination statement: Telling Mr. Azik all your guesses will give you safe shelter.
The pendulum swings in a clockwise direction with a large arc.
This meant that after telling Mr. Azik about this matter, he would not have to worry about the threat from Ince Zangwill in the short term.
This gave Klein an idea.
He planned to tell Mr. Azik all his speculations first, and then guide the captain to discover Ince Zangwill's conspiracy after he was safe.
……
Red chimney, inside the house, on the desk in front of the window, the pen wrote again on the notebook:
"Klein was unexpectedly cautious and careful, not giving Ince Zangwill any chance to deal with him."
"He seemed to have used some kind of divination to suspect that Ince Zangwill wanted to set a trap for him. In order to ensure his own safety, he decided to tell Mr. Azik about all this. This was a very wise choice, because Ince Zangwill was very afraid of Mr. Azik and could only hide from him."
"Alas, poor Ince Zangwill, he has successfully attracted the attention of Mr. Azik and has to run away and hide his tracks again."

Backlund.
Hastur finally asked someone to find out the current situation of Sheriff Reed and his family.
After the incident that day, there was a big explosion in their home. The baby died tragically on the spot, but Sheriff Reed and his lover were lucky to be alive.
His lover became mentally ill and became dementia because he could not bear the death of his child. He is now admitted to an orphanage.
Chief Reed also resigned from his position as police chief and is now arranged to accompany his lover in an orphanage.
Considering Chief Reed's outstanding contributions to the police department, the police department gave him a generous sum of money so that Chief Reed and his wife could stay in the welfare home for their retirement.
This is official news, and Hastur doesn’t know the exact truth.
But what is certain is that Sheriff Reed and his lover are still alive.
The so-called "staying in a welfare home for old age" makes people think. It is probably that they are imprisoned and live a free life on the surface, but in fact they are restricted everywhere.
This is a very normal and reasonable arrangement.
"How come Chief Reed and his lover are still alive?"
Hasta murmured, feeling that something was wrong here.
This was not because he hoped that Chief Reed and his family would die, but based on what happened at that time, Chief Reed and his wife had no reason to survive.
The baby parasitized by the High Dimensional Overlooker, many punishers of the Church of Storms died that day, and hundreds of nearby residents were killed and injured in the big explosion, and this was even after evacuating in advance.
Not counting the number of deaths caused by unexplained lightning strikes, fires and other accidents.
Where Sheriff Reed and his lover were, there was absolutely no reason to survive, unless the High Dimensional Overlooker deliberately kept them alive.
Hastur couldn't believe that the high-dimensional overlookers had such a thing as family bonds. He would rather believe that the high-dimensional overlookers had left some back-up on them.
This should also be the thinking of the higher-ups of the Church of Storms, which is why they imprisoned Chief Reed and his wife in an orphanage and supervised them.
"Oh, I hope there won't be any more trouble."
Hastur calmed down and took a carriage to the newly built factory.
During this period of time, he had not paid much attention to the factory because of the high-dimensional overlooker's matter. Now he had time to take a look at it.
Accompanied by Harley's manager, Hasta walked around the factory and learned that the sales of mosquito repellent powder were pretty good during this period.
Among them, the best-selling one is the most expensive one.
After all, nobles lack nothing, but they are afraid of losing face, so comparison is inevitable.
If he wasn't afraid that Klein would discover that he might be a time traveler in the future, he would also plan to engage in some activities, such as getting a batch of special deluxe editions and holding a lottery to earn krypton gold.
Just buy an ordinary product and you will get a chance to win a lottery.
If you are dealing with working-class people who don't have very rich wallets, use naked gold pounds as raffle prizes.
