The little mirror in the box responded to every question of Mr. Detective in letters.
"I am a timber merchant in Midgard City, and my home address is..."
"A beautiful lady, about meeting me here, was attacked by a group of monsters, they looked like... huge human-shaped toads, very cruel..."
"The time of the attack was around the evening of May 8. It was already dark. I didn't pay attention to the specific time..."
...
Is this okay? !
Joan couldn't help but growl in his heart.
He originally thought that Mr. Pinkerton would like the private detectives described in the novel. By carefully observing the criminal traces left on the scene, coupled with meticulous and imaginative deductive reasoning, he would draw bold assumptions and lock the suspects. After a fierce chase, he was finally arrested and accepted legal sanctions.
From the beginning, Mr. Pinkerton's style and way of doing things were indeed very much like the detectives in the novel. However, from the moment when he took out the mirror box, the style of painting quickly deviated...
"It turned out that the magic weapon was used to trace the murder..."
Joan murmured in disappointment.
"Why, isn't it?" Mr. Pinkerton glanced back at him.
"Uh, nothing."
Although he didn't want to admit his words, Qiao An was disappointed in his heart, and he always felt that relying on magic to solve the case showed no true ability of a detective.
"Boy, I know what you are thinking, do you think I am boring to trace the murderer with the magic power of the "chasing mirror"?"
Mr. Pinkerton patted the boy's shoulder, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Come and tell me, what is the mission of the detective business?"
"Of course it is to detect the case, catch the murderer and defend the law." Joan answered without thinking.
"In this case, as long as you can achieve the goals you said, no matter what means is used to investigate the case, as long as it is legal, there is no problem, right?"
"Victims, their family and friends, and even the law itself do not need any thrilling detection process, nor do they need detectives to show off their ingenuity and intelligence. What is really needed is to solve the case as soon as possible and sort out the case in the most efficient way. The murderer is brought to justice, so as to prevent more innocent people from being injured by the murderer."
"With more efficient criminal detection tools not in use, sitting in an easy chair, smoking a pipe, whimsical, that is only scenes that are found in detective novels, and reality is not detective novels."
"For the criminal investigation work in the real world, this little "chaser mirror" is far more valuable than the sum of the minds of ten famous detectives."
"Not everyone has a clever mind, but anyone can use the'chasing mirror' to get the key clues needed to solve the case."
"Everyone is a big detective while holding a'chasing mirror'. This is the most effective deterrent to criminals!"
When it comes to the last sentence, Pinkerton's expression is very solemn.
"It's exactly what you said." Joan had to admit that Mr. Pinkerton's opinion made sense.
More efficient and universally applicable criminal investigation techniques and instruments, rather than more brains that are good at reasoning, are the right direction for the future development of the criminal investigation industry.
Mr. Pinkerton raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked at the westward sun, as if thinking about something.
"Joan, it's still early. Let's first find a cool place to eat some dry food. We may have to handle the case tonight, and take a break to recuperate."
Joan led the horse, followed Mr. Pinkerton across the shallow water, climbed up the dirt with tall bushes opposite, and sat in the shade to rest.
Pinkerton opened the storage bag, took out two sandwiches wrapped in newspaper, and handed Joan one.
He himself wasn't busy eating, whistle, greeted Karl, and whispered in the ear of the police dog, then waved and sent it away.
"Mr. Pinkerton, what are you doing with Carl?"
Joan was surprised to see the figure of the police dog going away quickly.
The detective took the half-stained spear and shook it at him.
"Since we have found a half spear, it is inferred from the common sense that there must be a back half spear bar nearby. If this weapon is found, Karl may be able to smell the murderer's smell from the grip of the spear, and then it will be more clear Tracking direction."
Joan nodded.
It seems that Mr. Detective does not completely rely on the magic weapon to handle the case, nor does he lack a meticulous mind and rich criminal investigation experience.
"Mr. Pinkerton, I'm curious about your "chaser mirror", can you lend me a look."
"Of course there is no problem."
The detective handed over the mirror box generously.
After Joan thanked him, he became obsessed with observing the "chasing mirror".
Some kind of prophetic school spell must have been attached to the mirror. In order to see the spell configuration, Joan drew a portable "water pen" from the storage bag.
This new type of "water storage pen" has been invented less than ten years ago, and can only be made in high-end stationery stores. The price is one hundred times higher than that of ordinary goose feather pens.
The person who bought this pen was either a wealthy young lady who was keen on catching the fashion and wasn't short of money, but only regarded the new invention as a little toy to show off.
Either the master class like Joan, they are the true core users of the "storage pen".
Compared with the traditional quill pen, the advantages and disadvantages of the "water storage pen" are outstanding.
The structure of this pen is based on the goose feather pen, injecting ink into the hollow pen tube, and filling the bottom with a loose and porous sponge cork pulp isolation layer, so that the ink slowly penetrates to the pen tip.
The tip of this pen is made of an alloy that is not easily rusted, so it is also referred to as "pen" for short.
The special nib structure makes the pen more wear-resistant, and the written font is smoother and slimmer.
The special pen tube structure can seal and store ink, unscrew the pen cover, and you can write at any time, eliminating the need to dip the ink, which is more convenient than the traditional goose feather pen.
However, the delicate structure means that the pen is more expensive and more prone to failure.
After the ink in the pen tube is used up, a small syringe is needed to extract the ink from the ink bottle and inject it into the pen tube.
This series of re-adding ink is much more tedious than the traditional quill pen dipped directly in ink.
Therefore, the convenience of the new fountain pen is only reflected when the ink in the pen tube is sufficient. Considering the link of refilling the ink, it is more troublesome.
But the mage is not afraid of such "trouble".
Carry a bottle of ink with you, as long as you use a "magic trick" to refill the ink instantly.
Because of this, the pen clearly does not have any enchanting special effects, but after it was launched, it quickly swept the circle of wizards in the old and new continents and became a veritable "special pen for mages".
