"Donald, meet here tomorrow at 9 o'clock, don't use the firm, this is a new commission....... You're in a weird state today, you didn't sleep well last night?"

Before leaving, Sherlock handed over a photograph with the name of a street and café.

"Well, something happened last night...... You've just finished translating all the text today, aren't you going to study it?"

It's been nearly two weeks since Donald joined the company, and even though he deliberately delayed the translation time, he still finished translating all the content today.

Although the order of the words was chaotic, Donald was generally sure that Sherlock had a talent formula in his hand, and he had been preparing all kinds of materials and utensils for the past few days, and everyone who looked at it was a little dazzled.

Compared to Donald's state of having no money and no way, Sherlock is obviously comfortable in the purchase of materials.

Therefore, after the translation was completed today, Donald thought that he must have taken the trouble to complete the final steps, but he did not expect to take on a new commission.

"Originally, this was the plan, but this commission is special, a noble lady asked us to check on his husband, and the letter said that there was someone outside, you know. ”

Out of his pocket, he took out an unsigned letter, which only read: Detective Swift.

"This ...... Special?"

It's normal for the aristocracy to have women outside, and the nobles of Preston City will almost all participate in all kinds of "parties" as long as they are of a certain age, which is a social trend, and the main content in the lace tabloids is in this regard, to say that it is special, Donald really didn't see it.

"It's not that he's special to find a woman outside, but this nobleman himself is very special, and it has been reported in a secret newspaper that one of the recent disappearances of a girl has a lot to do with him, hmm...... It should be said that it is one-sided, this aristocratic gentleman pursues Miss Madeleine Kirk fiercely, and you should know that the man in the crush will pay attention to everything on the other side, no matter how big or small. ”

Sherlock is obsessed with the disappearance of the girl, and the news that was previously revealed to Marcelo Blaze has recently become popular, and in order to thank him, he sent a whole bag of materials.

Most of them are a summary of the girl's disappearance from beginning to end, and now they are all piled up on the table, and Donald will have to clean it up in the future.

"Didn't the nobleman have a wife, and it is unconscionable to pursue Miss Madeleine Kirk, for bigamy is a crime, oh...... He's a nobleman and he's not afraid, but can his wife endure it?"

Although the sexual concept of this era is quite open, it is still quite conservative in terms of monogamy, men can have concubines outside, and although women care, they will choose to be silent many times, after all, it is still a patriarchal society.

But if one day the man brings his concubine home, it will be different, and the easy-going lady will not tolerate such behavior, because it means that the man is determined to divorce her and marry again, and this is undoubtedly what the noble gentleman conveys by pursuing other girls so passionately.

"How can you bear it? You can smell gunpowder between the lines of this letter, that's why she will come to us, the life of this noble gentleman has not been uncomfortable recently, all we have to do is take a few photos, to be special enough, enough ...... Exciting, it can be used for property distribution in the event of divorce in the future, and the lady's offer is 10 gold pounds, and if the photo is satisfied, it will be added. ”

Sherlock was excited.

**

After Donald left the office, he waited in the café where he had agreed with Marcelo Blaise yesterday.

Subconsciously remembered what happened in the early hours of the morning.

Thinking gradually became his habit.

The deal with Infinita didn't give him a sense of security, and the chronic poison in his body became a new ticking time bomb.

This is a deal that has to be agreed to in a desperate situation, in order to preserve some memories, so that they will not be forcibly forgotten and become a puppet at the mercy of others.

Give them the inheritance in exchange for your own life?

There are no contracts, no witnesses, which makes Donald believe.

The deal was unfair from the start, Donald was at an absolute disadvantage, there was no guarantee, life and death were between the thoughts of the other party, this feeling was very uncomfortable, just like the rush of power when he saw Ronan's flesh and blood collapse on the street.

He has to find a way to change this situation, at least he can't be eaten by Infinita so dead, and the poison in his body must be removed.

To find a way to break the game...... That cup of tea last night!

This was the conclusion that Donald had come to after much thought, the effect of the dream elixir was not something he could unravel now, and before going to bed he drank two liquids, tea, and a meditation-enhancing potion.

He clearly remembered that his mind suddenly cleared up after drinking the tea.

What Cane Antoine gave him was no ordinary tea.

This man is the key!

"Mr. Grant...... Mr. Grant?"

The sound of a call in his ear brought Donald back to his senses, and Marcelo Blaze arrived.

"I'm sorry, I'll be stunned for a while, it's a good night today. ”

Looking at the dark night outside, Donald regretted it a little after speaking, and pinched his nose in embarrassment.

In this day and age, the night in the city is not a good word.

"It's me who should apologize, and I suddenly had something urgent in the newspaper office and worked overtime, so I was a step late. ”

Marcelo put a folder on the table, and the appointment he proposed was late, and no matter what the reason, it could not change the fact that it was rude.

"What's the matter? Can you share it with me, I'm a detective assistant, and I'm still curious about some things. ”

Taking a sip of bitter coffee, Donald had recently begun to enjoy the bitter taste.

The heart is bitter, and the poison is fought with poison.

"What else could it be, the case of the missing girl, ah...... Now I have to change the name, Pston's last 20 years, the worst nature of the serial disappearance of the girl, there were two more victims tonight, after the family called the police, it spread as soon as possible, and the police station couldn't block the news at all. ”

It has been three weeks since the first disappearance, not only has not a single girl been recovered, not even a single body has been found, and now everyone in the city of Preston is in danger, and there are even a large number of female students taking leave of absence in the university, which is enough to prove the panic caused by this incident.

"The case hasn't been solved yet, and the murderer's methods are too good, right?"

"The murderer's target selection has no characteristics, tall, short, fat and thin, all kinds of appearances, irregular crimes, this is the most difficult case to solve, because even the murderer doesn't know who he wants to kidnap next, the target is all randomly chosen!"

As a person in direct contact with the case in another sense, Marcelo also has a chill on his lips when he talks about the situation of the disappearance of the girl.

Is it really a random choice?

For this kind of serial disappearance, Donald believes that there should be a pattern in it.
