Chapter 148: Clues

Soon, Adeline felt the breath of two strange men, and although she couldn't see it, she still felt the gaze of a man lingering on her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The question her father asked made her breath stagnant, and she shyly lowered her head, waiting for the man's reply.

She had already heard the story of the gentleman from her father, who was said to have gone to Africa to develop his own business since he was eighteen years old. During his time in Africa, his qualities of perseverance, kindness, and integrity spread far and wide, spreading the fame of the Bach family, and it can be said that his virtues were passed on everywhere the British ships went.

He had fought pirates to the death to save a British Empire ship, he had nearly clashed with African barbarians over a matter entrusted to him by a friend, and he had even spent more money than he had paid to get the goods entrusted to him to their destination on time...... There are many, many legends about him, and maybe there are some stories that don't belong to him, but so what? His fame has spread all over the world.

Evidently Sir Henry did not disappoint her, and he certainly promised, "I hope that I can find those mysterious medicines that will help her return to the light, even if I search the ends of the earth, and even if this cannot be done, I will be with her for the rest of my life, until I die." ”

Adeline's face turned even redder, and her heart was like a lively fawn, fluttering and pounding.

Franklin smiled, relieved and happy: "Boy, I'm very satisfied with your performance. ”

"What do you mean ......"

Franklin looked at Henry with a serious face, "But first of all, this gentleman next to you must help you break the curse of the so-called Bach family, otherwise I will not let my daughter marry someone who may die at any time." ”

"Daddy......" Adeline anxiously tugged at Franklin's sleeve.

Sir Henry's eyes darkened, he looked at Adeline stupidly, and reluctantly said, "You're right......

"Of course, I'll help you, I've just noticed some unusual movements in the moor these days."

"Mr. Franklin, you say you have a clue here?" Luo Hanya's eyes lit up and he looked at Franklin expectantly.

"Of course, we'll talk about this after dinner, and now is obviously not the time to talk about such things."

Franklin raised his goblet, shook the red wine in the glass, and motioned to everyone present to dine.

…………

"Mr. Franklin, I wonder where your clues came from?"

"You've all heard about Selm."

"Of course, sir, is this clue of yours related to Selm?" Luo Hanya was a little disappointed, in his current speculation, the so-called curse of the Bach family may not have much to do with this Selm. And Selm's skill...... Luo Hanya shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was difficult for such a guy to be caught by others in the swamp.

"Perhaps, the only thing I'm sure of is that there's someone hiding in the moor, and I'm not sure who it is." Franklin saw Luo Hanya's disappointment and said flatly.

"Oh? Can you tell me exactly what you've discovered? ”

"Of course, Mr. Han, you must know what it takes to survive in the moor."

"You may not need anything else, but food and clothing are essential, and you have to ......"

"Yes, I don't know exactly where the guy hiding in the swamp is, but I know for sure that I found him, because I found out how he got his daily necessities."

Franklin's words do have a strong logic, and they can even be said to be very close to the truth. "Of course." Luo Hanya nodded in agreement.

"It's also luck, maybe God asked me to help the Bach family. Not long after I bought the telescope, I could see a kid going to the moor in the roof every day, walking the same path at the same time every day. In addition to delivering daily necessities to the guys hiding in the moor, what else would he do in the depths of the moor? ”

Luo Hanya secretly admired in his heart - this is indeed luck! He suppressed his excitement. A little kid! It has nothing to do with Mr. and Mrs. Remore! This is a huge breakthrough! Perhaps this was the turning point in this case.

But he still did not dare to draw conclusions, and asked suspiciously, "Is it possible that the son of a swamp shepherd is bringing food to his father?" ”

"Mr. Han! I don't think so. Franklin stroked his beard triumphantly as he pointed out to the vast moor, "Do you see that black hill over there?" Do you see that thorny hill in the distance? That's the most rocky part of the moor. Clearly, it was not a place for shepherds to rest, and would certainly not be. ”

Luo Hanya nodded, it really wouldn't be this kind of place. This is a golden opportunity for him, and he will never miss the opportunity that the god of fate has given him because of his lack of spirit and perseverance.

"And when are we going to look for it?" Sir Henry asked a little anxiously.

"Come on, come and see." Franklin beckoned to his two guests, pointing to the telescope on his roof.

Luo Hanya and Sir Henry hurriedly followed, and looked anxiously at the telescope with the help of the sky that had not yet completely darkened.

The telescope was a massive instrument mounted on a tripod on a flat lead roof. Luo Hanya and Sir took turns closing their eyes and let out a cry of satisfaction.

It looked like it was about a few miles away, but against the dark green and gray background, a small black dot was noticeable. After passing through the telescope, the black dot turned into a child carrying a small roll of things on his shoulder, and he was slowly and laboriously walking up the mountain. When he reached the highest point, against the backdrop of the dark blue sky, Luo Hanya saw a disheveled stranger for a moment. He looked around sneakily, as if he was afraid of being followed. Then it disappeared on the other side of the mountain.

"It's really funny." Luo Hanya nodded, but he always felt a little strange, that guy didn't seem to be the same person as the one he and Sir were chasing that night, maybe it was too far away.

"So what are you waiting for? Lads! Go for it! I'm here waiting for you to return triumphantly! ”

"Then let's go! Mr. Han. Sir Henry gave Adeline a deep look, as if intent on carving her to heart. (To be continued.) )
