Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Pendulum
Zheng Yuanli climbed down the ladder and glanced at his watch.
It was already 14:30.
In the next room, the Lancelot siblings had already taken blood samples.
"Yo~ Mr. Detective, have you completed your attic investigation? Are there any new discoveries this time? ”
"There was nothing substantial to discover this time, except that I knew that the mastermind of the whole thing should be a thoughtful and calm guy."
However, it is as if it was said or not, and most of the criminal leaders were thoughtful and calm-minded. Well....I think Mr. Zheng, you have a lot of potential in this area. ”
Luna said, putting her hand on her chin and looking at Jung Won-ri thoughtfully.
"Well, no kidding, anyway, the traces upstairs can at least prove that the person sleeping in the attic is the mastermind of the incident. If you look closely at the attic upstairs, you will definitely find the residue of some explosives. This can be used as evidence later when we catch a prisoner. ”
"Mr. Zheng is really thoughtful."
Luna clapped for Jung as she spoke, pretending as if she admired Jung. For Luna's hypocritical admiration, Zheng Yuanli looked at Lancelot on the side a little helplessly.
Lancelot, on the other hand, did not dare to talk as before.
"I think we're going to have to move fast now, is there any way you can quickly find this person through the medium of blood."
"Leave this matter to my brother, my brother usually takes everything with him when he goes out, he is a well-known hard-working faction. Isn't it, brother? ”
"It's... Oh, yes. ”
Lancelot, after a long time, finally opened his first sentence, and he continued.
"Let's get back to the car first. In the car, I brought a pendulum. ”
Zheng Yuanli has heard of the pendulum, saying that it is the pendulum, but in fact, from the perspective of shape, most of them are crystal pendants, which were used by many Westerners in the Middle Ages to detect water sources and find minerals.
However, in the end, ordinary people can use the crystal spirit pendulum to detect water sources and find minerals, and it is more said that it is because the magnetism of the crystal itself and the magnetic field of the mineral and water source are attracted to each other. Some people also say that this is because of the subconscious, but in fact, it is not the result of a carpet search, and then the effect is attributed to the pendulum.
However, these are all the statements of people who do not have spiritual powers, and there is a third theory. The spirit pendulum crystal is a good medium by nature, and if you add a spell seal, then it will be easy to channel.
Zheng Yuanli followed the Lancelot siblings out of the courtyard and walked to the Hello Kitty. Lancelot walked to the trunk of the car.
At this time, Luna poked Zheng Yuanli with her elbow, but Zheng Yuanli did not avoid it, she said.
"Look, my brother doesn't have everything."
"Well, Brother Ling is really a trustworthy person."
"Uh... I realized that you are all the same boring people, do you have any younger siblings or something? ”
Zheng Yuanli listened to Luna's words and didn't know whether to answer for a while, this girl is really, her intuition is accurate everywhere, and everything is just right.
"Yes."
He thought about it for a moment, but still admitted it.
By this time, Lancelot had already taken the pendulum from the trunk and walked over.
"Ha, no wonder I found the same old-fashioned temperament in you as my brother. It doesn't seem to be peculiar to the Orientals, it's peculiar to the brothers. ”
Zheng Yuanli looked up at Lancelot, Lancelot raised his forehead and sighed, meaning don't look at me, I don't have a problem. He then gave the pendulum to Luna.
If Zheng Yuanli relied on spirit runes to cast spells, it would take a series of time to push down from yin to yang, although it was just as effective, but it didn't seem so suitable for finding people. Especially now that this gang has a third lurking target.
Luna took the pendulum from Lancelot, then reached out to him.
Lancelot reacted for a moment before he remembered and handed her the test tube.
"Is there a lighter?"
Luna asked.
"This one doesn't."
Asked Zheng Yuanli again, Zheng Yuanli shook his head.
"Don't you know, this spell casting process requires a lighter, anyway, this blood sample itself is contaminated, so simply use baking steam to apply it directly to the spirit pendulum. The effect will be better. ”
"I didn't expect to find blood."
Lancelot said with an innocent expression.
"Why don't you go to a neighbor and see if you can borrow a lighter."
Zheng Yuanli proposed.
In fact, now that the blood has been found, there is no need to ask the neighbors about the situation. However, since it is necessary to borrow a lighter. It seems that it is inevitable to disturb the family's neighbors.
It was obviously not appropriate for the three of them to go together to borrow a lighter, and Lancelot said that he was too tall to add to the oppression of the old lady in the neighborhood, so it was better to let Jung Yuanli and Luna go.
So Luna and Jung Won-ri walked through the fence to the other side of the courtyard. It can be seen that the yard of this family is carefully tied.
They all have porcelain dolls, but the porcelain dolls of this family are the more common dwarf dolls in the UK. Legend has it that this kind of dwarf likes to accumulate wealth and luck, so the British will be willing to put this kind of dwarf in their yard for good luck. This is similar to the fact that Chinese like to post a blessing character in front of the door.
"Have you visited this lady before?"
Just now, Zheng Yuanli heard Lancelot say that there was an old lady living next to her.
"Yes, I've been here once. She is a very kind old man, and I have also looked at her natal chart and calculated her natal stars and star tracks. If nothing else, she should have been celibate for a long time. Of course, because she is really not too deeply involved with her neighbors, I can't rely on her star orbit to find out the whereabouts of her neighbors with my ability. ”
has been celibate for a long time, what is an old man who has been single for a long time for?
"What do you mean for a long time?"
"I've been single since World War II, don't you think?"
"I think I probably got it."
"That's really a rare kind old man, I really feel sorry for him."
"Well, why don't you knock on the door. You know each other after all. ”
"No, you should go, the young and beautiful lad knocking on the door is a pleasure for the lady at any time. Don't you know? ”
Zheng Yuanli helplessly supported his forehead.
When he opened the door of the fence, it was like opening the secret of a family. This feeling always makes him feel uncomfortable, and the meaning of the fence's existence is to give people this uncomfortable feeling.
He walked over to the blue-painted door and gently rang the doorbell.
After a while, no one came out.
Kindness?
Is it that no one heard.
"Do you want to press it again?"
"Wait, the elderly, especially in the UK, are slow to react. She doesn't have her ears behind it. ”
Zheng Yuanli calculated about half a minute.
The door slowly opened, and an old lady wearing reading glasses bowed her head out.
Zheng Yuanli seems to have seen this old man somewhere, and he will never forget it. Kindness... On the train, he gave her a Chinese knot.
The old lady saw Zheng Yuanli standing at the door and held her glasses with her hand, looked at him carefully for a while, and grinned.
"It's you! My baby! ”
