In the days that followed, Carmen was consumed with the old Bailey, and it was destined to be a protracted battle.

The first hand was Carmen's, and on the first day, he chose the most trouble-free method, sneaking into the night with the wind, stealing things silently.

It's a pity that old Bailey didn't give it for nothing, Carmen just crawled out of the chimney, and the door of her head was blocked by the revolver, how did she get in, and how did she climb out.

The next day, Carmen changed his strategy, hoping to wait for the old Bailey to leave before finding an opportunity to sneak in.

As a result, sand is sand, bones are bones, and old Bailey stays at home, and he is not going anywhere.

On the third day, Carmen hired an actor to disguise herself as a swimmer and perform drowning in front of the old Bailey's house.

Surprisingly, Old Bailey didn't mean to save people at all, but watched quietly with a cup of black tea.

Day 4, Day 5, Day 6...

For a week, both of them spent time in the fight.

You come and go, Carmen is full of tricks, and Old Bailey sees the moves, whether it is a secret battle or a secret Chen Cang, or a sound attack from the east and west, and the tiger is away from the mountain, Sun Tzu's Art of War is about to be played by Carmen, and Old Bailey is not fooled.

This stalemate is half a month.

On this day, Carmen, dressed as an antique dealer, knocked on the door of the old Bailey again.

As soon as the door opened, old Bailey smiled, Carmen's appearance was very recognizable, even if he didn't say a word, the mole at the corner of his mouth would betray him deeply.

"Where are you going?" Looking at Carmen, who was about to leave, Old Bailey stopped him.

Carmen stopped, took off her fake beard and clipped hair, and said, "I know a friend who sells health products, and I plan to go back and learn two tricks from him, he knows best how to deceive the elderly." ”

Old Bailey: "..."

"Stop, you don't have to go."

Old Bailey walked out of the room on crutches and handed Carmen a box: "Thank you for making me happy during this time, I haven't been so energetic in a long time since I retired." ”

"What is this?"

Carmen took the box and opened it under the encouraging gaze of old Bailey, and when she saw a badge lying quietly in the box.

"At first, I thought you were trying to take advantage of me, but then I thought you weren't, you really wanted to get this badge back. I can give you this badge, but I want to ask what exactly this badge is about, and I can feel that it is very unusual for you. ”

Old Bailey stood with Carmen like a friend on crutches.

Carmen stroked the wolf's head on the badge and said softly: "My family has a long history, and this family crest is a certificate of successive family owners, and it is not just a badge for me, but a guide." ”

The wolf's head on the badge is what he looks like after he transforms.

Carmen didn't think it was an accident, he felt that his family must be extraordinary, and this badge that was regarded as a treasure was likely to have a role that he didn't think of.

Hearing Carmen's words, a glimmer of light flashed in Old Bailey's mind, and he blurted out without thinking, "If you think this badge has a special meaning, why don't you go to the library to take a look, our city's library has a history of hundreds of years, maybe you can get the answer there." ”

"Library? yes, I didn't think of that! ”

It dawned on Carmen that as an orphan who had only been in school for two years and could barely read a newspaper, the library was too far away for him.

Far away, he had been looking for clues about his family, but he had never thought of the word library.

"Mr. Bailey, thank you very much for your help, I am going to the library now." Carmen's heart was filled with joy, and for the first time, she felt that she was so close to the truth.

Old Bailey nodded with a smile, and before Carmen left, he said again: "You know, I'm particularly interested in things with history, if you find anything interesting, don't forget me, I'm here waiting for your news." ”

"Of course!"

Carmen was in a good mood and agreed without thinking about it.

Library...

For the scumbag, a place like the library is so sacred that Carmen would feel ashamed of herself when she walked in.

Looking at the scholars wearing glasses and shirts to consult the materials, and the students who were immersed in hard work, Carmen walked with her head down.

"That's a lot of books!"

Carmen walks inside the library, the library in the city of West Shabel is large, divided into several areas, and has books that span hundreds of years.

It is as difficult to find a book that describes this badge in so many books as it is to find a needle in a haystack.

"Hello sir, have you ever seen this pattern in the library?"

Carmen found the librarian and pulled the badge out of her bosom for him to identify.

The librarian was an old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, full of silver hair, but in good spirits.

He took Carmen's badge and looked at it for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This badge is a family crest, it's not popular anymore, I remember that there is a book of ancient family crests in the library, which is dedicated to introducing these things." ”

"Where's the book?" Carmen asked eagerly.

The old man shook his head slightly and replied, "I was loaned out half a month ago, and I haven't returned it yet." ”

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Carmen paused for a moment and asked, "Can you let me look at the borrowing history, this book is very important to me, and I need it now." ”

"I'm sorry, I..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Carmen took out a fifty-cent coin and whispered, "Help me, please." ”

"I'm sorry, I..."

Seeing that the old man still disagreed, Carmen took out a coin again and begged, "Please." ”

"I'm sorry, I..."

After the third refusal, Carmen did not go to pay for it, but took out his dagger and whispered: "I imagine that people like you must have a happy family, I think we should discuss it again, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Carmen's words, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered, "The drawer in the lower left corner of the borrowing desk should be cleaned, well, I'll go make a cup of tea first, and I'll clean it up when I get back." ”

After saying this, the old man put away the two coins and left without looking back.

Carmen has a smile on his face, violence is always easier to convince a person than eloquence, and he has a great knowledge of how to convince others.

"This is it!"

Jumping into the borrowing desk, Carmen quickly found a ledger with a lot of borrowing records.

Carmen flipped forward, flipped to the record half a month ago, and read word by word: "On August 10, 334 New Calendar, the residents on the fourth floor of Building 88 Center Street, borrowed a book of ancient coats of arms, borrowed a book of wizard legends, and paid a deposit of 90 cents!" ”

"Number 88?" Carmen's expression was clouded, he just didn't remember well, and he wouldn't even know where his girlfriend lived.

Building 88 Center Street, where Bill's Bar is located, the difference is only that Bill's Bar is on the first floor, while the person who borrowed the book is on the fourth floor.

"The fourth floor doesn't seem to be rented out to the public, and the landlord has always lived in it, isn't it..."

In Carmen's mind, Wang Xu's appearance appeared, and she found that the world was really small.

For the landlord of the Bertie family, to be honest, Carmen has a lot on her mind.

Before the accident, he had been thinking of a way to get some money from this rich guy to spend.

Before he could act, Buck and Tom died, and he himself went to prison and had the ability to shapeshift.

came and went, if he hadn't encountered this kind of thing today, he would have almost forgotten about this person, and I have to say that people's brains are easy to mess up when they are busy.

"What a coincidence!"

Carmen closed the borrowing record, and again, the idea of getting some money from the man came back to him.

He was a rich man, worth at least a few thousand dollars, and unlike the rich guy who liked to go to parties and like to swagger, this man seemed to be weak, had no friends in Sishabel, and belonged to a rich man with poor wealth.

Now, I am so tight on money, and this person has offended him again, so it is not too much to knock a stroke from him.

Thinking like this, the more Carmen thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but clench her fists and sigh that this idea was really good.
