Sean, who was sleeping with dawn hugging, was suddenly woken up by a violent shaking, although he was still in a state of confusion, but he didn't have to think about it, except for a certain eldest lady who was in an uncomfortable mood, no one else would do such a boring thing.

Shaun, who shook his head slightly, came back to his senses, and sure enough, he saw a burgundy figure in a black police uniform, holding a plate full of food in his hand.

Sean, who was happily eliminating breakfast, looked up at Vivian, who was full of melancholy, and subconsciously asked, "Vivian, don't you look very happy?"

After saying that, Sean regretted this sentence that did not go through the brain, after all, except for the Earl of Thorn Bird, who could make this eldest lady who was silly every day show a sad face.

"Well, I was scolded by my dad last night. The more she thought about it, the more angry Vivian became, looking at Sean, who didn't dare to speak, and could only bury her head in the meal, she couldn't help but clench her fists and threatened: "It's rare that you don't express some opinions, Mr. Sean?"

"Anna told me that gentlemen are not allowed to speak during dinner..."Perfunctory was of no use to Vivien, put down the cutlery in her hand, met the pale golden eyes, and said solemnly: "I will take half of the responsibility, Miss Vivien." ”

"Half?"

"Miss Vivien, don't you think you made the rest of the half?"

Vivian, who had already sunny, heard Sean's indecent words, hit him on the calf with a fist, and said coldly: "Mr. Sean, please think clearly before answering." Then he looked at Sean, who had resumed eating with his head down, and glanced at him angrily, "I'm going to the East End to investigate the case now, and I'll ask you again in the evening." ”

"The East End?"

Vivian looked at Sean's look of surprise and concern, and although she was overjoyed, she still explained with a cold face: "There was a serial killer in the East Side Docks, killing more than a dozen people in just five days. ”

"The serial killer in the Eastern District?" has something to do with your Southern Police Department?"

"There are not enough people in the Eastern District right now, I heard that they are currently cooperating with a special government agency to investigate something?"

Hearing this special agency, Sean subconsciously thought of Elf, grabbed Vivian's palm, and said, "Be careful, Vivian, the East End may not be safe." ”

Insecurity?

Vivian, who instantly understood what Sean was referring to, held the left hand that was clutching her, and said with a relaxed face: "I'll be careful, you quickly recuperate from your injuries and recover so that you can help me investigate the case." ”

"I said in advance, I will charge a fee, and according to the current market, it will cost at least 30 gold eagle coins or more. ”

"Sean, do you know how much a day's hospital stays at Ode Hospital?"

"Wait, where do you say this is?"

Sean seemed to hear a word that distressed him, 30 gold eagle coins could at least allow a middle-class family like him to live in relative luxury for a month, but only for one night in this hospital.

Looking at Sean, who looked pained, Vivian couldn't help but smile happily, "That's right, it's the Ode Hospital that costs 30 gold eagle coins a day, so now that you are staying for two days, you have to at least help me investigate another case for free." ”

Seeing Vivien leave, Sean lay on the pillow with pain on his face, and inhaled the smell of formalin that floated in the air with the smell of money.

Crunch!

Hearing that the ward was opened again, Sean looked at Vivian who was going and returning a little strangely, and before he could speak, he saw Vivian say to himself with a straight face: "Sean, I don't want to interfere with your choice, but yesterday I told my dad about Mr. Terry, and I showed curiosity about it, and then I have never seen my dad lose his temper so much, and he made it clear that he can't, otherwise he will confine me in the castle." ”

Vivien paused for a long time, biting her lower lip and said, "He told me that the path to magic is accompanied by madness and death. ”

"Thank you, Vivien. ”

"Sean, I know you're going to see Mr. Elf, but I still want you to think about it, I don't want to..."

"I know Vivien, but you know what I'm hiding in my heart, and now that I've lifted a corner of it, I'm not going to give up. Sean looked at Vivien's worried expression, but he still looked unmoved.

"Hmm. ”

"I should be home in the evening, and if I don't go back all night, Anna will worry about me. ”

"Well, I'll have someone prepare your clothes. ”

"Thank you, be careful, remember to find me if you encounter any difficulties. Sean, pretending to be relaxed, chuckled.

"I will, don't worry, goodbye, Sean. ”

"Goodbye, Vivien. ”

Sean, who once again watched Vivien leave, lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time, constantly recalling the phrase 'madness and death' in his mind, after all, he was not as calm as he seemed to be.

...

One o'clock in the afternoon

After having a rich lunch and enjoying a "caring" dressing change experience of the beautiful nurse lady, Sean put on the clothes that Vivian specially prepared for herself and got up to leave the hospital, after all, if you live in this "black-hearted" aristocratic hospital, you may have to see your heart one day.

With a pestle in his left hand and a cane, Sean strolled along Dusk Boulevard, feeling the scorching heat of the midday sun, and he had not experienced the Terry incident for a moment when he felt the beauty of the sun as he did now.

After walking to the bus stop and buying a newspaper, Sean got into the carriage and went to the meeting place with Mr. Elf.

Even the shaking of the carriage still didn't feel the pain in his back, except for his right hand, which was still on the splint, the current Sean was no different from ordinary people.

"It seems that there are still advantages to being expensive. ”

Sean, who muttered with a wry smile, felt that he was not uncomfortable, and began to read the newspaper seriously.

I saw that the front page of the newspaper spread out on his thigh was Vivian's heroic headshot, and the title was written "Shocking the Love and Hate of the Councillor of the Steam Capital and the Wise and Brave Female Police Inspector Love and Kill", which made Sean frown, and he now strongly doubted whether he had bought the wrong newspaper, but in order to pass the time, he endured the displeasure in his heart and continued to read.

Aside from the shitty headline, the content is consistent with Vivien's and her own description, Terry killed three of his mistresses, and although they died at Sean's hands, the corpse turned into a black crystal, so he was still wanted in the newspapers.

Crumpling the newspaper vigorously, Sean fell into deep thought, and on the surface he seemed to have perfectly solved Mr. Terry, and also saved Miss Maria, and completed the revenge for the three innocent women.

But until now, Sean couldn't figure out why Terry wanted to kill his three mistresses, and the methods were very cruel.

Wait, a flash of inspiration flashed through Sean's mind, and he remembered that Terry had told himself that he didn't want to hurt his wife, and that his original target was just his three mistresses.

Sean, who thought clearly about the crux of the matter, instantly discovered his negligence, first of all, this matter itself is very unreasonable, a normal person will not look for multiple mistresses in a short period of time, especially Terry is still a councillor in the Steam Capital, isn't this a handle to a competitor?

Ms. Maria became aware of her husband Terry's cheating a month ago, and from Sean's own investigation, his mistress had only moved to their current location about a month ago.

Place?

Goodley Street and Bess are two horizontal blocks parallel to Dawn Boulevard, while Giles is a vertical block parallel to Twilight Boulevard, and the three blocks are not close to each other, with at least two commercial districts in between.

Sean, who closed his eyes, kept thinking back to the map of the South Side, the first mistress was located in the middle of Goodley Street, the second was on the street of Bass Block, and the third was at the intersection of Giles Block and Bass Block, and when these three points were connected, it was vaguely an equilateral triangle.

What about time?

The three died three days apart, all at around 12 a.m., and lost a large amount of body fluids and some flesh.

Thinking of Sean opening his closed eyes, his brown eyes flashed with unknown information, and he said with some self-deprecation: "A specific time, a specific place, the same way of death, is this what Vivien called madness?" hahaha..."

Sean, who seemed to be nobody, laughed wantonly, and couldn't tell whether he was afraid or expectant, and stepped out of the carriage under the strange eyes of everyone in the carriage, and now he reached his destination, where the answers to his doubts were hidden.
