Things still have to start with Jenny's fall, and the relationship between Jenny and Cirith can't be said to be very familiar, barely a nodding acquaintance.

It's just that after the former jumped off the building and fell to his death, Jenny's "friends" chose to retreat one after another, as if they were worried about provoking something bad, but it was Ciris, a nodding friend, who took the initiative to help with the sense of justice and responsibility cultivated since childhood.

Good people don't get good rewards.

"Two days ago, I helped Ciris's family sort out her belongings, and they didn't want to report it to the police, thinking it was a waste of time, they were religious and thought that the suicide was sinful, and that it was not worthy of mercy to give up their God-given lives...... But I did find something, you see. ”

Taking out a stack of opened envelopes from his bag, Donald took them and casually opened them to look at a few.

The content is the same, roughly the content of the courtship letter, and there is no outrageous description.

These letters alone can't say anything, college student, it is the time when the spring heart is budding, he has seen too many more radical courtship methods in his previous life, and writing letters is already quite restrained.

It's just that this last one is a little strange.

"There have been intimate ...... Contact?"

Donald was a little embarrassed, and if his understanding was not wrong, it should have been that aspect of contact.

"Yes, I found blood on Jenny's bed, and I'm sure it's a ..... Special Cases. ”

It seemed that he was ashamed to say those words, and Cirith replaced them with special, and Donald could understand them.

"Jenny lives outside the school?"

"No, I live in a dormitory, a few bedrooms away from me. ”

Speaking of which, the panic that Siris had just calmed down reappeared.

"Isn't there anyone to take care of your dormitories? ”

Yes, Madame Martinie stated that she had heard Jenny say that someone had been following her, but Madame Martinie insisted that this was just Jenny's personal imagination and that she had not seen any special person enter the dormitory. ”

Ciris looked a little angry, presumably believing that Madame Martinie's negligence had caused the tragedy.

"Have you asked Jenny about the people she knows, and the classmates she usually gets along with, what they should know. ”

When asked, they admit that something has really been wrong with Jenny lately, and that she often looks somewhere and shouts for no reason, saying that someone is watching him all the time, and her classmates say that they have never seen anyone in a black coat and a wide-brimmed top hat. ”

"That's right...... What's your opinion?"

Taking a sip of bitter coffee, Donald frowned, realizing that things were not simple......

"Someone is following Jenny, I'm sure!"

Ciris was sure.

"Why?"

"Because I also received the letter and saw him when I came home last night!"

A new envelope was placed on the table, clearly written: Miss Ciris Rhodes.

"Can I see it?"

Donald picked up the envelope.

Of course, the content of it basically says that Jenny does not accept him, so he is looking for a new lover...... Then he saw me helping Jenny, and thought I was an honest and lovely girl, and wanted to be a couple with me. ”

At other times, this may sound like a young man's subtle and romantic letter of love, but here and now, no matter how you look at it, there is a layer of death prophecy in it.

"Have you considered telling your father about this?"

"I originally thought so, but my father was one of the sheriffs in charge of the girl's disappearance case recently, and the pressure on him was very high, and I didn't want to burden him anymore, I remember that the senior was working in a detective agency, and I wanted to entrust you to help me find this guy, and I could pay for it. ”

Standing in the study with the envelope and seeing her father staring at the report, her brows furrowed, and the smoke that filled the room, Ciris really didn't want to disturb him anymore.

"1p, this commission only costs 1p, it's a discount only for you. ”

The kindness that Ciris helped herself get the material has not yet been repaid, so she just took this opportunity to repay it.

"Thank you, senior, I ......"

The words came to an abrupt end, and Ciris's gaze suddenly turned behind Donald.

Their location is by the café window.

"How?"

Donald was looking down at the contents of the letter, and when he noticed that Ciris had suddenly lost his voice, he looked up, and immediately turned around to look out somewhere in her line of sight.

There were only passers-by, and there were no black clothes and wide hats.

"Where was he?"

He turned around and asked softly.

"Just outside looking at me from under the street lamp, and when you suddenly turned around, a passerby happened to pass by, and he disappeared. ”

She could see exactly what Jenny had said to her classmates, but when the others turned away, they couldn't see anything.

"Don't be nervous just yet, he's watching you somewhere right now, and that's a good thing, at least to prove that he's nearby...... Then once you find him again, pretend not to see him, since he wants to avoid my sight, then he will inevitably appear behind me, I need you to give me a signal, pinch the left ear is the left back, pinch the right ear is the right back, pinch the nose is directly behind, can you do it?"

If you want to catch someone, you have to find a way to see each other first, and you can chase it when you have a goal.

"No problem, should I continue to wait here?"

"Of course not, how to chase him here, is there a good place to hang out in Peston City? If you want to catch him, it is best to be outside, in a secluded place, you have to give him a chance to follow him, and he may not appear in a crowded place. ”

There is another reason that Donald didn't say, and that is that it is inconvenient for him to use the ability in a crowded place, although the three spells are all transparent forms, but the effect produced during the casting process can still be seen by others.

"How about the botanical garden, it's around here, because there are fewer entertainment facilities inside, more trees and flowers, usually only people who walk in the morning and evening will pass, today is a weekday, there should be no one inside. ”

Parks were also included in urban planning in this era, and although they didn't understand the principle, people knew that the air smelled fresher where there were many trees.

The purpose of the botanical garden is to allow some citizens to briefly escape from the steel jungle in the city and experience the real natural jungle.

Ciris asked for leave today on the grounds of ill health, and Donald was an unemployed vagrant, and he couldn't go to the bookstore often, otherwise it would be easy to get exposed, so after discussion, he decided to go every three to five days.

"Cireth, are you sure no one has seen him except you and Jenny?"

On his way to the Botanical Gardens, Donald suddenly realized that he should have asked passers-by outside if they had noticed the black figure.
