The Whispering Verses Chapter 827: All men are mortal
In the white mist, the middle-aged detective with a clear appearance did not speak. Shade tried to open his mouth and hesitated for a long time before finally saying:
"I'm sorry."
"Shad Hamilton, why do you need to apologize to me?"
Many people use the title "Shad Hamilton" to address outsiders, but facing the detective in front of them, the outsiders feel a little ashamed when hearing this title.
He raised his head and said hesitantly:
"You entrusted everything to me, and I just hope that nothing about you during your lifetime will be exposed after your death. But I still used you for my own benefit"
He is truly sorry about this.
"So, has the identity been exposed?"
The transparent middle-aged detective asked, with sharp eyes and a serious expression.
Xia De shook his head:
"No."
"So, have your actions dealt a blow to Gray Gloves?"
"No."
Xia De shook his head again, not paying attention to the doubtful expression on the doctor's side.
"Then, why apologize."
The middle-aged detective said calmly.
"Because you showed kindness to me, but I violated your last wish."
Sparrow Hamilton looked at Shade:
"Good intentions? You can tell me all this so honestly, and I am the one who puts you in danger. Letting you inherit the Hamilton Detective Agency is inherently dangerous for you. I It’s not noble, yes, no one is noble.”
Xia De nodded, but suddenly raised his head:
"Also, I'm now a member of MI6, but I'm also hooked up with Gray Gloves."
Sparrow Hamilton shook his head slightly:
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you were alive"
"That was during my lifetime, and I am already dead. I did not let down the motherland and the organization during my lifetime. After my death, my soul is free."
At this moment, he still looked serious:
"Shad Hamilton, I don't know what you went through to bring me back after I left. But remember, Sparrow Hamilton is dead."
Xia De opened his mouth, not expecting the other party to say this.
"Of course I am not a good person, yes, I never have been, but I have left, and you inherited everything, you are now the master of Saint Teresa Square. Sparrow has become history and has slept forever You, Shade Hamilton, truly own everything from me. Young man, you have to choose your own path, so why bother me?"
Shadow could not answer this question, Sparrow Hamilton shook his head:
"I led you away from the life of a homeless man, but I left after all. I did something wrong during my lifetime, and this is the only thing I feel guilty about when I die, which is rare for me. Therefore, everything in Saint Teresa Square belongs to you, and you, please don’t disturb me.”
For some reason, Xia De suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party personally saying that everything here belonged to him. All the pressures of living in Saint Teresa Square in the past seemed to have dissipated with Sparrow Hamilton's words.
Of course he knows that the Gray Eagle, as a king's agent, is definitely not a good person in the traditional sense, but he also remembers the scene where Detective Sparrow apologized to himself for the last time and wished him good luck before he died:
"I remain sorry that I took advantage of your identity and legacy."
He said formally.
"I forgive you."
Sparrow Hamilton said seriously, then sighed:
"I also apologize to you for putting you in danger."
"I also forgive you for the four tasks you left, I have completed them all"
Thinking of the cat being held by him, he added:
"Only the final finishing touches remain."
That serious face finally showed a slight smile:
"That's good. Although the detective is just pretending to be a professional, I am also very happy that I have not disturbed anyone's life. The detective life in the past few years has also made me nostalgic that I shouldn't have. After all, I am just a human being. Mortal."
Xia De hesitated:
"In addition, I have always kept your room, which is the master bedroom. But now, I want to live in it, and sleeping on the side is really too small."
The middle-aged detective reminded softly:
"Young man, you are the owner of the house and you do not need to ask for my opinion."
Sparrow Hamilton lowered the brim of his hat slightly and turned towards the thick fog:
"The road to the future belongs to you. In addition, all mortals are mortal, I just hope, please don't bother me anymore"
"Yes, then farewell, Sparrow Hamilton."
The detective entered the white mist, leaving Shade watching him go away.
"Gray gloves?"
The doctor on the side was still surprised by what he heard. He went to see Sha De, hoping to get an answer, but saw Sha De closing his eyes and letting 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 and talk about the story of you and Sparrow Hamilton."
It is said that every autumn rain brings more coolness. And the rain in the second half of the Withered Leaves Moon really made the late autumn atmosphere even more intense.
The rain hit the roof of the carriage, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the stone road seemed to have a little more rhythm than usual. Autumn rain always makes people feel bad. Perhaps Shade in the carriage was affected by the rain. While the carriage was carrying the two gentlemen through the Pearl of the North, he told Dr. Schneider in a somewhat depressed tone that he and Dr. Schneider had an affair. The complete story of Sparrow Hamilton.
Shad didn't even mention those things to Lesia in detail. The doctor was the first person to know everything.
The middle-aged psychiatrist has seen great storms and experienced many adventures that ordinary people, even ordinary magicians, can't imagine, but he was still shocked by Sha De's story:
"In other words, you are not only an agent of MI6 now, but if you want, you can perfectly inherit the identity of the 'Grey Headed Eagle' and become the ace spy of Gray Gloves?"
Because it was raining outside, Shade 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:
"Originally, I thought that you inherited No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, which was already considered a success. Unexpectedly, that house was really just an addition."
"I actually have no intention of being an agent. I inherited Uncle Sparrow's inheritance and I was really grateful to him. I never thought of using his identity to do anything. But every time I meet someone I seem to be making different choices regarding this matter, so that, very inexplicably, it is actually possible for me to replace Sparrow Hamilton."
It was raining heavily outside the car window, and Shade was in a bad mood:
"Although the former detective had selfish motives for taking the blind and foolish Shade away from the homeless life, it was indeed his actions that made me who I am now. I actually feel a little guilty, especially because he didn't blame me."
A foreigner knows whose favor he has received, and he is not a person who does not know how to thank.
"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, you just used that identity to make some money and help your friends, but you didn't bring any stain on the reputation and honor of Gray Eagle's identity."
The doctor comforted:
“Since Sparrow Hamilton said he doesn’t care about you using his identity, why not use the identity of Grey-Headed Eagle to do something for Gray Gloves without violating your moral values, as a way to treat Sparrow Hamilton? Pilot Hamilton's Repayment"
This is a good idea, but it seems that it may also cause Shade to get deeper and deeper into the identity of "Grey Eagle".
The carriage soon arrived at the public cemetery outside the city, and Shade did not take advantage of Sunday to accompany Lesia and Dorothy at home, because he wanted to visit Sparrow Hamilton's grave again.
He has decided to officially move from the side bedroom to the master bedroom. Everything in the past has been handed over, and he will inherit everything at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Today's visit was to say goodbye and to acknowledge that Sparrow Hamilton was completely gone. Everything Shade did after that would have no connection with him.
The autumn rain was pouring, and two men holding black umbrellas, wearing black coats and black rain boots were walking side by side on the path of the cemetery. Detective Sparrow was buried in Section 2 of the Tobesk East District Public Cemetery. We should have been able to meet many people here on Sunday morning, but because of the autumn rain, there were only two or three people in the hazy rain curtain. Standing among the tombstones.
Shad and Dr. Schneider were walking and chatting. Shad didn’t want to talk more about Sparrow, so he talked about what he encountered at Fort Midhill:
"I went there almost every day throughout the autumn, helped some people, and killed some people. And when I encountered danger, when I was in the most critical situation, those souls who had been helped by me, He actually came to help me."
He did not say that he was looking for Red Butterfly, but only said that he was at Sikal Mountain on Wednesday night:
"The corporal who asked me to help deliver the relic pistol, Professor Higgins who mistook me for a grey-headed eagle, the innocent ladies who were murdered by the serial killer, and the one who came back from the dead but ended up finishing the Rhodes card. The count left after the game. This way."
The two turned left at the cemetery sermon, and the doctor listened quietly to Shade's story:
"There is still kindness in this world, especially when you show your kindness. Although you don't have to expect a reward, sometimes there will be extra gains. Detective, mortals are mortal, but the kindness that is conveyed, but Never die."
The psychiatrist with the devil in his heart said with a smile. Shade nodded and smiled:
"Yes, all mortals are mortal. That's why I wanted to visit Detective Sparrow again today, which can be regarded as a complete farewell."
"That's good. You are getting rid of all the influence left by Sparrow Hamilton. From now on, you are the real Detective Hamilton."
The doctor encouraged that his expertise in psychology helped him analyze Shade's thoughts at this time.
Looking at the surrounding tombstones standing in the rain, the doctor kindly removed the wet leaves attached to the tombstones and continued to walk forward with Shade:
"Everyone will die, but Sparrow Hamilton is lucky. He is at least remembered by you. You inherited everything about him, but you also know everything about him. As long as you are alive, he will It won’t disappear, what a lucky guy”
The doctor's words are somewhat like those spoken by Marilyn Handel, who was about to leave completely in death.
"Remembered?"
Xia De murmured:
"Doctor, what do you think resurrecting the dead is?"
"Of course this is wrong, but people who have this idea should have many stories, right?"
The doctor and Shade turned into the path in the cemetery in the rain:
"As I just said, all mortals are destined to die. Even resurrection cannot change the fact that they will die one day. But the return of the dead extends the meaning of life after all. Each of us has a destiny When it comes to death, all we can decide is our own process. It’s time for the psychiatrist’s cliche to say - instead of worrying about the death that is coming, it is better to think about your current life. ”
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."
My boots made a strange sound as they stepped on the relatively flat gravel path of the cemetery. The patter of rain indicates that the rain will probably last for a long time, and Shade hopes that the recent temperature drop will not be too severe.
