In the white mist, the middle-aged detective with a clear appearance did not speak. Xia De tried to open his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally said:
"sorry."
"Shard Hamilton, why are you apologizing to me?"
Many people use the title "Shad Hamilton" to call outsiders, but facing the detective in front of them, outsiders are a little ashamed to hear this name.
He raised his head and said hesitantly:
"You entrusted everything to me, and you only hope that nothing about your life will be exposed after death. But I still use your..."
He's really sorry about that.
"So, has your identity been exposed?"
The middle-aged detective with a transparent body asked, with sharp eyes and a serious expression.
Xia De shook his head:
"No."
"So, did your actions deal a blow to Gray Gloves?"
"No."
Xia De shook his head again, not paying attention to the puzzled expression of the doctor on the side.
"Then why apologize."
The middle-aged detective said calmly.
"Because you showed me kindness, but I violated your last wish."
Sparrow Hamilton looked at Shad:
"Good intentions? You can tell me all this so honestly, and I am the one who put you in danger. Letting you inherit the Hamilton Detective Agency is a danger to the original you. I don't Noble, yes, no one is noble."
Xia De nodded, but suddenly raised his head:
"Plus, I'm now in MI6, but I've also hooked up with the Gray Gloves."
Sparrow Hamilton shook his head slightly:
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you were alive..."
"That was before I was alive, and I am already dead. I did not fail my country and organization while I was alive. After death, my soul is free."
At this moment, he is still serious:
"Shard Hamilton, I don't know what you've been through since I left to bring me back. But remember, Sparrow Hamilton is dead."
Xia De opened his mouth, but he didn't expect the other party to say that.
"Of course I'm not a good guy, yes, never was, but I'm gone, and you inherited everything, you are now the owner of the Place Saint-Terraine. Sparrow is history and has gone to sleep forever. You , Shade Hamilton, really has everything for me. Young people, you have to choose your own way, why bother me?"
Shad couldn't answer this question, and Sparrow Hamilton shook his head:
"I took you out of life as a bum, but I did. I did something wrong, and that's the only thing I feel guilty about when I die, which is rare for me. So, St. Everything in Teresa Square belongs to you, and you, don't bother me."
For some reason, Xia De suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party personally say that everything here belongs to him. All the pressures of living in Saint Teresa Square in the past seemed to dissipate with Sparrow Hamilton's words.
Of course he knew that Grey-headed Eagle as the ace agent was definitely not a good person in the traditional sense, but he also remembered the scene where Detective Sparrow apologized to himself and wished himself good luck before his death:
"I still apologize to you for taking advantage of your identity and legacy."
He said very formally.
"I forgive you."
Sparrow Hamilton said seriously, then sighed:
"I also apologize to you for putting you in danger."
"I also forgive you...I have completed the four commissions you left..."
Thinking of the cat being held by him, he added:
"Only the finishing touches are left."
That serious face finally showed a little smile:
"That's very good. Although detectives are just pretending to be professional, I'm also very happy that I didn't delay anyone's life. The past few years of detective life have also given me nostalgia that I shouldn't have. After all, I'm just a mortal."
Shad hesitated for a moment:
"In addition, I have always kept your room, which is the master bedroom. But now, I want to live in it, and the side sleeper is really too small."
The middle-aged detective gently reminded:
"Young man, you are the owner of the house, you don't need to ask my opinion."
"The road to the future belongs to you. Besides, mortals are mortal, I just hope, please don't bother me anymore..."
"Yes, then farewell, Sparrow Hamilton."
The detective entered the white mist, leaving only Xia De watching him go away.
"Grey gloves?"
The doctor on the side was still surprised by what he heard, and went to see Xia De, hoping to get an answer, but saw Xia De close his eyes and let out a long sigh:
"Doctor, is it still raining outside? I think I need to go to the cemetery outside the city."
"It's still raining, but we can go together...By the way, talk about your story with that Sparrow Hamilton."
It is said that every autumn rain will bring more coolness. And the rain in the second half of the month of dead leaves really made the atmosphere of late autumn more intense.
The sound of the rain hitting the roof of the carriage, and the sound of the wheels crushing the stone road seemed to be a little more rhythmic than usual. Autumn rain always makes people feel bad. Shade in the carriage may have been affected by the rain. While the carriage was driving the two gentlemen through the Pearl of the North, he told Dr. Schneider in a depressing tone that he and Sparrow Hamilton Full Story.
Xia De didn't even mention those things to Rezia in full, and the doctor was the first person to know everything.
The middle-aged psychiatrist has seen big winds and waves, and experienced many adventures that ordinary people, even ordinary ring warlocks, can't imagine, but he was still shocked by Xia De's story:
"That is to say, you are not only an agent of MI6, but if you want to, you can perfectly inherit the identity of that 'Grey Eagle' and become the gray-gloved ace spy?"
Because it was raining outside, Xia De left Mia at home, hoping that it would not disturb the two girls who fell asleep again after breakfast. He lowered his head and nodded slightly. The doctor covered his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know what to say:
"At first, I thought that you inherited No. 6, Place Saint-Andrés, already considered... Unexpectedly, that house was really just an addition..."
"In fact, I didn't intend to be an agent. I inherited Uncle Sparrow's legacy, and I was really grateful to him. I never thought of using his identity to do something. It's just that every time I encounter something related to this Things, I seem to be making different choices. So that, very inexplicably, it is actually possible for me to replace Sparrow Hamilton as the gray eagle."
The rain outside the car window was heavy, and Xia De was also in a bad mood:
"Although the former detective had selfish intentions in taking the blind and foolish Xia De out of the homeless life, it was indeed his actions that made me who I am now. I actually feel a little guilty...especially, he didn't blame I."
A foreigner knows whose favor he has received, and he is not a person who does not know how to appreciate it.
"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, you only used that identity to make a few sums of money and helped your friends, but you didn't bring any stains on the reputation and honor of the gray eagle identity."
The doctor advised:
"Since Sparrow Hamilton said he doesn't care about your use of his identity, why not use his identity as a grey-headed eagle to help Gray Gloves do something without violating your moral values, as a countermeasure to Sparrow Hamilton? Hamilton's return."
That's a good idea, but it also seems likely that Shad will become more and more involved in the identity of "Grey Eagle".
The carriage soon arrived at the public cemetery outside the city, and instead of staying with Rezia and Dorothy at home on Sunday, Shad just wanted to see Sparrow Hamilton's grave again.
He has decided to officially move from the side sleeper to the master bedroom. Everything in the past has been handed over, and he will inherit everything at No. 6, Place Saint Teresa. And today's visit is to say a final farewell, to admit that Sparrow Hamilton has completely gone away, and everything Shade will do after that will have no connection with him.
The autumn rain was pattering, and two men holding black umbrellas, wearing black coats and black rain boots walked side by side on the path of the cemetery. Detective Sparrow was buried in the No. 2 cemetery of Tobesk East Public Cemetery. On Sunday morning, he should be able to meet many people here, but because of the autumn rain, there were only two or three people in the hazy rain. Stand among the tombstones.
Shad and Dr. Schneider walked and chatted. Shad didn't want to talk more about Sparrow, so he talked about what he encountered in Fort Midhill:
"I went there almost every day throughout the autumn, helped some people, and killed some people. And when I was in danger, when I was in the most dangerous situation, the souls I helped, actually came Help me."
He did not say that he was looking for Red Butterfly, only that he was also at Mount Xical on Wednesday night:
"The corporal who made me deliver the relic pistol, Professor Higgins who mistook me for a grey-headed eagle, innocent ladies murdered by serial killers, and, who came back from the dead but eventually left after finishing a game of Lord's Card Earl . . . this way."
The two turned left on the sermon in the cemetery, and the doctor listened quietly to Shade's narration:
"There is still kindness in this world, especially when you show your kindness. Although you don't have to expect to be rewarded, sometimes there will be additional gains. Detective, mortals are mortal, but the kindness that is conveyed is never dead."
The psychiatrist with a devil in his heart said with a smile, Xia De nodded and also smiled:
"Yes, mortals are mortal... That's why I want to visit Detective Sparrow again today, which can be regarded as a complete farewell."
"That's good, you're free of all the legacy of Sparrow Hamilton. From now on, you're the real Detective Hamilton."
The doctor encouraged that his expertise in psychology helped him analyze Xia De's thoughts at this time.
Looking around at the tombstones standing in the rain, the doctor kindly removed the wet leaves attached to the tombstones, and continued to walk forward with Shad:
"Everyone dies, but Sparrow Hamilton is lucky, at least he is remembered by you. You have inherited everything from him, but you also know everything about him. As long as you are alive, he will not disappear , what a lucky guy..."
The doctor's words, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com somewhat resemble the words of Marilyn Handel who is about to leave completely in death.
"Is it remembered?"
Xia De murmured:
"Doctor, what do you think is the act of resurrecting the dead?"
"Of course it's not true, but people with this kind of thinking should have many stories, right?"
The doctor and Shad turn into the path in the cemetery in the rain:
"As I said just now, mortals are mortal, even if they are resurrected, they will not change the fact that they will die one day. But the return of the dead prolongs the meaning of life after all. Each of us has a destined death, All we can decide is our own process. It's time for the cliché of the psychiatrist again—instead of worrying about the death that will come, it is better to think about your own life now."
Xia De nodded, the doctor was quite emotional:
"Of course, the act of resurrecting the dead is wrong in itself. After all, if you leave, don't come back."
The boots made strange noises when they trampled on the relatively smooth gravel path in the cemetery. The sound of clattering rain indicates that this rain will probably continue for a long time. Xia De hopes that the temperature will not drop too much recently.
