Chapter 62: The Strange Husband (Asking for Recommendation Votes~)
The day after the incident, Ivan hired someone to repair the damage at Jessica's office.
Workers are downstairs repairing windows, stairs, floors.
In fact, the window Ivan could repair it himself, after all, the original was still there, but the floor and stairs were not, and at that time he was in a hurry, and some parts of the floor had been destroyed by himself under the sprint, and there was no slag left, so he could only replace the new parts.
Jessica went out and said that a client had asked her to meet to talk about the commission.
Ivan was upstairs in the office watching TV, occasionally receiving calls from Angel and asking about trivial matters.
The TV was showing recent news events in New York, including reports about Kling Park.
"The firefight in Kling Park in Manhattan resulted in the deaths of many civilians and the death of three terrorists, two of whom suffered multiple fractures and suffered violent impacts."
"And the other terrorist, according to investigation, was a waiter at Charles's restaurant."
"The owner of Charles's restaurant and two chefs have mysteriously disappeared, and we suspect a connection with the waiter."
"According to the staff in the guard room at the time, there were two people who punished the terrorists at that time, and one of them showed a hero badge."
"In addition, there are traces of extensive excavations in the cemetery northwest of Kling Park, and the grave keepers did not find any suspicious persons at night."
......
"Sir," the little girl Lisa asked timidly.
"Hmm... What's wrong? Ivan looked away from the TV.
"Why did they kill Mom and Dad?" Lisa asked, puzzled.
"I don't know the specifics, but it should be your mom and dad who know something... The secret of sin. ”
"Hmm..."
Ivan had already asked yesterday, but she didn't get any information about her other relatives from the little girl, so Jessica asked her to stay in the office first, and talk about the rest later.
The little girl stopped talking, only the sound of the decoration downstairs was 'clanging'.
After watching the news again, Ivan pushed the door and wanted to go downstairs to take a look, and saw a worker holding a hammer and a wooden board to install the stairs.
"Sir, what's going on with this staircase?"
"It's a thief, and Clinton's security has always been like this." Ivan responded.
"Oh, this thief smashed the window and destroyed the floor... It's rare. The worker shook his head and sighed.
Evening.
The workers are gone, and Jessica is back.
She asked Ivan how the little girl Lisa was feeling, and Ivan shook her head, saying that Lisa had been bored in the cabin all day and rarely talked to herself.
Jessica nodded: "She'll get better slowly, I've been through it too, time... It can dilute everything. ”
Ivan understood what Jessica meant, Jessica had been in a car accident as a child, and her family died in that accident...
But on the whole, the accident with Lisa is still different.
One is an accident that killed a family member, and the other is a family member who was slaughtered.
The former only causes sadness, the latter rises to hatred.
Lisa experienced this kind of thing when she was a child, and she witnessed it with her own eyes, and her psychology may become different from that of a normal child.
Time can dilute sorrow, but it cannot soothe hatred.
"By the way, Jessica, where did you put the books?" Ivan asked.
"In the cupboard to the west."
Jessica said this, getting up to help Ivan find the book.
"Aren't you curious about my commission today?"
Jessica asked, pulling out a large iron box.
"Isn't it a rape?" Ivan quipped.
"Of course not! I've encountered another strange thing today, and I want to tell you about it..."Jessica pulled out a stack of books.
These books include some advanced compulsory books, basic compulsory books, and advanced spell books such as Ice Melting, Small Fireball, Illusory Thunder, and Ignition.
Ivan also saw a copy of "Turning Stones into Gold".
Looking at this little bit of gold, Ivan remembered Jessica's declaration, one day... She must have become richer than Ivan ...
Ivan is not a money fan, although there is not too much money, but he is not bent on making money.
As long as it is enough, he will not focus on it, otherwise he will have much more property than he has now.
And although Jessica is not a money fan, she doesn't want to be too far behind Ivan, and she also told Ivan that she wants to make more money, and for this reason, she is also happy to do detective work...
I didn't expect that... Ivan now sees Jessica taking such a spell that he didn't even find out in the first place!
Think about the high-level spells you held, "Space Mastery", "Phantom Wall" and so on...
In comparison, her book is really exquisite, isn't a little stone into gold equal to infinite wealth?
"Worthy of Jessica... I've discovered the secret of money! Ivan praised.
"Huh?"
Jessica was stunned, she wanted to tell Ivan about the strange thing she had encountered, but she didn't understand why Ivan suddenly said that.
"Isn't this book "Turning Stones into Gold" infinitely possible to make gold if you learn it?" Ivan asked with a smile.
Jessica was stunned, then covered her mouth and laughed.
"You misunderstood, this is not an Asgardian spell book, it's a financial management book, and the title of the book is very philosophical~"
“(=ω=; I see. ”
"Let me tell you about today's commission... It's a strange thing! ”
Anything strange we haven't seen before! They're all people who have been to Asgard!
"Say it~" Ivan smiled.
"Mrs. Lincoln on 57th Street, her husband has a strange disease... It's scary, my face is full of foam, and I don't know what it is when I see a doctor. ”
Jessica paused and continued, "She whispered to me that her husband would sneak out at night, and she didn't know what to do, and she didn't see him every time she chased him out, and it was like this for several nights... It's weird! ”
"And what about daylight?"
"During the day his husband would come home and lie back in bed as if nothing had happened... His wife asked him what he was doing at night, and he only said that he didn't know and was not impressed. ”
Jessica said.
"So your commission is tonight..."Ivan understood.
"Yes~ Track down that weirdo! Look what the hell her husband is up to! ”
This made Ivan feel quite curious, and Ivan asked with a smile.
"Do you want my help?"
"Whew~Of course I hope Ivan is with me~"
Soon it was evening...
On the 57th block, on the bungalow across from Ms. Lincoln's house, Jessica leaned down and lay in ambush on it.
From this angle, she could look directly at the door of Ms. Lincoln's house, and she could see the whole street.
And Ivan floated in the air about ten meters away, looking down condescendingly, not to mention an entire block from this angle, even other blocks could be seen.
Time flies...
Ivan was a little suspicious that he and Jessica had come early, and he looked over to Jessica's side and saw Jessica lying there motionless, very serious.
Worthy of professional detective Jessica...
Just then, the door to Ms. Lincoln's house rattled, and then the iron door opened...
An agile black shadow jumped out directly, ran a few steps down the street and jumped into the house.
"It's coming!"
Jessica's eyes flashed, and she finally waited!
She wanted to chase after her feet, but she accidentally stepped too hard and collapsed the roof under her, and the whole person leaked directly!
- Ahhhh Fall me to death!
