Chapter 22 Entrusted to the Door
Just when the voodoo warlock from Earth 3, one of the members of the super villain secret society, Jos, with the help of Atomic Woman, completely replaced his identity as Jos, the main universe peer of Earth 0, and was frantically reading books in the office. Ke Wen also ushered in his first normal commission as a firm. At this time, Ke Wen was conducting various experiments on the magic recorded in the stack of basic magic books that Zatanna left to Jean.
With the help of the magic dragon in the body, Ke Wen will not have the reason for insufficient supply of magic power. In addition, these books are all translated in English, and he does not need to go online for language comparison. It is only a morning time. Wen has already mastered several magics of the four basic forms of the Master. After all, all he has to do is to understand the magic composition of these magics, and then restore them through the magic provided by the magic dragons in his body. This can be done naturally. Just this alone, I don't know how much effort Ke Wen has been saved.
Just as Ke Wen released the four-element basic magic with both hands, he held a fireball, a water polo, a small hurricane, and a ball of earth in his hands that kept turning, and there was a knock on the door outside. , attracted Ke Wen's attention to the past. A distraction, the four-element basic magic held on both hands was dissipated because of Ke Wen's action, the explosion flames, water splashes and dust made Ke Wen disgraced. After a simple clean up, Ke Wen saw it on the CCTV next to him. The visitor, a middle-aged woman with a sad face.
"It looks like a business has come to the door." Looking at the expression on the woman's face, Ke Wen was also a little surprised that someone would come to him at this time, pressed an electronic button next to him, and the door connected to his computer It bounced off, and the sad-faced woman came in.
"Hello, is the detective here?"
"Yes, I am." Ke Wen gestured to the chair in front of him and asked the woman to sit down.
"You? Uh, I think I've gone to the wrong place." Looking at Ke Wen's young and somewhat excessive face, the woman suddenly felt that it was an unwise decision to enter the detective agency, and she didn't even plan to speak. After saying a few words, he turned his head and left.
"Ma'am, come here, I think you wouldn't find me if you didn't have a choice, in that case, why don't you sit down, have a cup of hot tea, and talk to me about your troubles? Just When it's time to relax your tense nerves, don't worry, the tea is free."
Ke Wen also understood the woman's concerns, and was not angry, but said politely. As for the thick stack of basic magic books that had just been placed on his desk, Ke Wen also put them aside. The woman who was about to turn her head to leave heard Ke Wen's words, thought for a moment, and sighed helplessly, then walked back and sat down in front of Ke Wen, who had already made tea and handed it to this man. In front of the sad lady.
"thanks."
"It's nothing, if you don't mind,
Can you tell me about your troubles? I am curious as to what troubles make you visit my office as if you had no choice. "
"As the director of a firm, is it really okay for you to mock yourself like this?"
"Just tell the truth, now, ma'am, let's talk."
"Alright, just take it as a thank you gift for inviting me to drink this cup of tea, but I think you'll think I'm crazy like everyone else." Putting down the teacup, the lady also began to talk about her past few days. encounter.
"My name is Lillian Hobbs, and my husband is a police detective from the Nashino City Police Department. He leaves early and returns late every day. Although it's a bit boring, his life is very fulfilling. But just five days ago, I found out that my husband has changed. It was our fifth wedding anniversary, and I was at home waiting for him to get off work. We were going to have dinner together at Oak Tree Restaurant, but that day, my husband came back very late, at the usual time He always came home at eight o'clock. That day, after he called me, there was no news until eleven o'clock in the evening, when he appeared at the door of the house, but that person was not my husband at all!"
Speaking of this, the fear in the eyes of this lady named Lillian made Ke Wen feel that something was wrong, but he did not ask any questions, but poured a cup of tea into her cup so that she could calm herself down. Emotions.
"Forgive me, the temporary loss of contact doesn't mean anything. Maybe there is an emergency delay. How do you think the person who appeared in front of you is not your husband?"
"Yeah, face, height, voice, even some secrets that only the two of us know, why do I have such thoughts." Lillian laughed at herself, and then continued: "But he gave I feel very strange. I have been married to my husband for five years and slept in the same bed. I know very well what kind of person he is. A police officer who hates evil and more importantly, the current Nashino In the city, there are four superheroes, Supergirl, Kamen Rider, Nightwing, and White Dove. Do you think there is still a crisis that requires a large number of police forces to be dispatched?"
Eh, this rhetorical question made Ke Wen not know how to follow up. Although he had his own credit for it, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only continue to listen to Lillian express her own views.
"My husband, it's changed since he came back. Although the tone is still the same, I can feel the strangeness that comes out of him. When I went to see him in the police station the next day. He just sat there, watching I saw my colleague wrestling with a prisoner, and in his eyes I saw not anger, but joy, as if he liked to see someone fighting. And let me be sure he wasn't my husband's , but it's a small thing, he has a habit, no matter how late he comes back or how tired he is from work, the first thing to do when he gets home is to wash his hands, and it hasn't changed since the day I met him."
"And this habit disappeared when I got home five days ago, right?" Ke Wen said after her.
"Yes, it's just a trivial thing and there's no evidence that he's not my husband, both medically and in life, but I can't believe that someone who has spent five years with me would be With such a big change overnight, even a habit that has lasted almost 20 years can be easily changed."
"Have you tried to take him to the hospital for examination? You know, in this world, if it is a superpower, it is possible to do it." Ke Wen asked again.
"I tried it, and I took him to see it. There was no problem, and there was no fragment of the supermeta gene at all. My doctor told me that the person who might have the problem was me, but how could I have a problem, you don't Know how desperate I am!"
Speaking of this, the lady named Lillian also began to sob. Obviously, this incident has almost driven her crazy. Ke Wen, on the other hand, looked up at the Pandora's Box that he was hanging on the wall, and his eyes became sharp. It was classified as a superhuman crime case, but after having a preconceived notion of Pandora's box, he chose to believe it.
Because he knew that the situation of Ms. Lillian might exist, and it would be enough to replace it with a counterpart from another universe. As long as the data is adequate, it is difficult to find out the problem with scientific means alone, and who would believe something like this that can only be judged through personal intuition? Thinking of this, Ke Wen couldn't help but feel relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the evil eternal event linked to Pandora's Box was just like the comics he read. It was a sudden outbreak without any warning. Now it seems that this is not Is it an omen?
"Okay, Ms. Lillian, I understand the general situation, then let me check it out for you." He took out a power of attorney from a drawer on the side, and Ke Wen put it directly in front of her.
"You... believe what I said?" Lillian asked in surprise as she looked at the little boy in front of her.
"I just trust a wife who has lived with her husband for five years. Her intuition is only, but you have to be mentally prepared. If you really find out that he is not your husband, then your original husband may have..."
"I understand this, but even so, I have to know why my husband is, and he must get a fair trial!"
"Then, please sign, and prepare the commission fee."
Looking at Ke Wen's confident face, Lillian hesitated, because she didn't know if this little boy could help her. But the question is, who would believe her now? Thinking of this, Lillian also signed her name on the power of attorney and put her thumbprint on it. And Ke Wen printed a copy of the power of attorney after Lillian signed his name and handed it over to Lillian.
"Please put it away, Ms. Lillian. I'll give you an answer in fifteen days. Now, for your safety, I suggest you stay home with your parents or friends."
"Can you really do it, I mean, find out the truth."
"Of course, I'm a detective, and my slogan says, whether it's as small as a turtle or as big as saving the world, as long as you entrust it, I will definitely complete it."
After being told by Ke Wen, Lilian, who had nothing to do, also took the idea of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, thanked Ke Wen, and left. And Ke Wen also locked the door after the client left. According to the information provided by Lillian, he sat in a chair, closed his eyes, and let go of his consciousness. Endless white light struck, and layers of bookshelves were placed on Ke Wen's face. In front of him, the regional library loaded on him starts, and he begins his first commission as a detective.
