185. I'm all right
Melly? Why are you here? “
Hong's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at the girl with beautiful white and blonde hair in front of her with some surprise.
She had thought that the smell of Melly in the air was left over from when she had been here before, but she never expected that it was Melly herself who was here now.
"Well, of course I'm here to buy clothes, this is a clothing store, I'm here to pick up the clothes I made before."
Across the street, Melly was a little puzzled by her friend's surprise, and she reached out to show off the clothes she had already wrapped in her hand, and replied.
Red: "......."
This reason is very reasonable, and the werewolf girl is completely unable to refute it.
However, in this way, she was also a little relieved, if Melly came to buy clothes, then it was very reasonable that there was a smell of her left here, maybe she was wrong before, Melly was still innocent.
Red was a little ashamed that she was so suspicious of her friend so easily.
But then again, why would Melly come to this kind of store to customize clothes?
The werewolf girl still looked around the shop with some confusion.
The shop is not very large, but the items are neatly displayed, on both sides of which are hangers full of samples of finished garments for display, and in the center of the door is a large wooden table with some uncut fabric, next to the wooden table is a steam sewing machine, and further into the room, there is a changing room covered by two curtains.
Well, to sum it up, it is a very ordinary clothing store, and from the perspective of the decoration level, the main customer group is the middle and lower classes, and it is not the kind of place where the aristocratic lord or big businessmen will come to patronize.
However, Melly is a nobleman, if Red remembers correctly, Dracula seems to be a count's family that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, as the young lady of the count's family, a private clothing designer is more suitable for Melly's identity than buying clothes in such an ordinary store.
Red thought of her other friend Elizabeth, Elizabeth's retinue also included cooks, tailors, coachmen, etc., including various servants in clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and the scale of such an entourage was streamlined because it was not good to bring too many people to school, otherwise the villa provided by the school might not be able to accommodate too many people.
There is no way, who makes the real aristocratic family so complicated, and some families are even exaggerated to the extent that even small things like pulling a bed curtain and turning off the light are specially matched with a special maid.
Therefore, it is still a little strange that Melly would come to this ordinary clothing store to buy clothes, and she even needs to come to pick up the clothes she has customized.
Red was still a little suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it.
It wasn't until now that the werewolf girl suddenly realized that although she had known Melly for several years, she knew almost nothing about her friend's private life except for the official relationship at school, and although she knew the address of Melly's dormitory, she never seemed to visit her.
"Am I still a friend?"
Red thought to herself a little self-deprecatingly, wondering if she might have taken the time to pay a formal visit to Melly recently.
But now is not the time to think about it, it is still important to investigate the case.
Hong just wanted to make a move, but turned his head to find that Professor Merlin, who was still beside him just now, had already run to the counter and chatted with the middle-aged shopkeeper.
...........
"Hello, my name is Merlin, I'm a new police officer, this is my ID, the bureau sent me to find out the details of the disappearance here."
Seeing that Hong and the student council president were chatting, Merlin was not idle, he put his hand in his pocket, and then rubbed a police officer's ID card with his alchemical hand, and after showing the freshly baked ID card in front of the boss a little, he chatted with the middle-aged bald clothing store owner.
The owner of the clothing store didn't believe Merlin at first, after all, the customer who claimed to be a police officer looked like a child, and his height stood behind his counter and only showed his head.
But after seeing the police ID, the boss became a little suspicious.
This document looks like it's real, and forging a police ID card is a big crime, and it's been found out that it's going to be locked up in the bureau for several years, so there shouldn't be many people who are so bold.
"Hello, my lord, please help me find my poor daughters."
Before the middle-aged shopkeeper could speak, a middle-aged woman next to the shopkeeper who still had charm was already red-eyed and cried to Merlin.
"Okay, madam, please calm down, this is my duty, please believe that we will do our best to solve the case quickly, and please stabilize your emotions first, cooperate with our work well, we need some clues in order to solve the case."
Merlin comforted the somewhat agitated lady in a whisper, and the corner of his eye kept paying attention to the face of the shopkeeper next to him.
"Calm down, Julia."
The shopkeeper's mood was quite stable, and he first spoke to comfort his wife, and then turned to look at Merlin.
"Hello, Detective Merlin, I'm Hannah. Jones, we'll do our best to help you if you need anything. ”
"Okay, so can I ask a few questions?"
Merlin pulled a pen and paper out of his pocket, looking ready to start taking notes.
"Yes, Mr. Detective."
The shopkeeper nodded.
"Then please describe your daughters' information, I mean names, ages, obvious physical features, etc."
"My two daughters are twins, the eldest is named Anna, the younger is called Belle, both of them are ten years old this year, the two sisters look almost identical, I often confuse these two little ones........"
"And what about the relationship between your husband and wife and your daughter? Is the child close to the father, or the mother?"
"It's good, the kids are closer to me."
"What did your family do before the child went missing?"
"It's just a normal meal, and then the kids go upstairs to sleep, and my wife and I are busy downstairs in the store, but when we go upstairs, we can't find the kids."
"If you can find the children, do you have anything to say to them?"
...........
"Okay, it's okay, thank you for your cooperation, and then please wait for our news at home, we will definitely solve the case as soon as possible."
Merlin closed the notebook, stood up, and said to the shopkeeper and his wife.
"It's okay, Red, we've got work to do, it's time to hurry."
He turned to the werewolf girl who hadn't had time to do anything, and took the lead and left the shop.
The dazed werewolf girl had no choice but to follow, and beside her, the student council president, Melly, looked at Merlin's back with interest, and then walked out with interest.
"Professor Merlin, are we just leaving, isn't that doing nothing?"
Walking outside the store, Red couldn't hold back and asked Merlin.
"No, I'm fine."
Merlin shook his head, shook the notes in his hand, and said with a smile.
