Chapter 171: Origin and Invitation
"1-025" used to appear here?
The owner here got the seal, and it was distorted by the negative effect, so he did evil?
Well...... It is also possible that "1-025" has completely controlled it!
In a flash of thought, Abner did not hesitate, and directly simulated the ability to "fly" and soared into the sky. For him, there was no obligation to find out what was going on, and the reason why he came here was because the enemy's strength was average, and secondly, out of sympathy for the captive girl, if he could be rescued, he would have saved it.
But a Class 1 seal may appear here, and the situation is completely different. If he doesn't leave at this time, will he still stay and have a supper with a suspected "cursed thing" in Sequence 7?
Abner flew far away at full speed, and only slowed down when he was about to enter the Hilston district, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon returning to the Isenger Detective Agency, Abner found himself returning a little earlier than Hugh...... He couldn't help laughing, feeling that he was really cowardly, and when he encountered a situation that he might not be able to deal with, his first thought was to run away.
If he hadn't noticed anything unusual just now, he probably wouldn't have stopped in Hilston and sailed all the way to Harvest Church.
Standing at the door of the teacher's house, Abner waited for Hugh to arrive, thinking wildly.
At this time, the night was silent, the night was thick, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and he was the only one nearby who was breathing in the cool air mixed with fragrance, creating a slight movement.
Everything was so peaceful and laid-back.
About ten minutes later, the arrival of a horse-drawn carriage shattered the silence.
As soon as Hugh jumped out of the carriage, he saw Abner waiting at the door, and couldn't help but be surprised: "So fast? β
"Something happened...... "Since the coachman was still there, Abner didn't say much, but asked curiously, "you can still hire a rental carriage so late?" β
"Bucholem is a friend of mine, he usually works for a businessman and also lives near Williams Street...... Just now, Shoko hadn't woken up yet, and I had to trouble him. Hugh explained casually, and then introduced the coachman named Bucholem to Abner.
"It's an honor to meet you, our 'Hero Detective'." Buchaolem greeted Abner with a smile and continued, "I'm glad to be able to help Miss Hugh." β
Just as Abner was greeting the coachman, Shoko, who had not completely removed the toxins from his body, also got out of the car with difficulty, and when he saw Abner, his face was full of gratitude and he kept thanking him.
Abner had something to ask him, so after saying goodbye to the coachman, he helped him to his room, and Hugh followed.
Unscrewed the gas wall lamp, and warmed up the Fursack food packed from Severs's restaurant, and put it on the small table in the room, so that the two of them could sit around the table and eat something.
Abner poured himself a glass of "Sunia Blood Wine" and asked Shoko, "Can you tell me how you found out that the family on Williams Street was kidnapping young girls?" β
Hugh glanced at a piece of cake smeared with cream in front of him, and without being polite to Abner, he raised his hand and grabbed it.
And Xiao Ke was more reserved, although he was already very hungry, but he still thought about it carefully first, and asked rhetorically: "Detective Brian, do you know Ms. Lina?" β
"'Witch' Lina? Is she still in Beckland? Did you get your 'Assassin' potion from her? Abner frowned, he got the news that Lina should have turned against His Royal Highness the prince because of the murder of her father and brother, so she left the country.
That news was passed from Prince Edsak to the "Desolates...... From this point of view, Lina and His Royal Highness the Prince may not really turn against each other.
When Abner thought so, he heard Shoko praise with emotion:
"It's worthy of being a 'hero detective', and he guessed my situation just by hearing a few words......"
Anyone who knows a little about the "witch" path can guess it, right? This sycophant level is not enough.
Complaining in his heart, Abner asked thoughtfully on the surface, "Are you doing things for her...... So, did Lina tell you to do this? β
"That's right." Xiao Ke nodded and continued:
"Because I had recently assassinated some East End scum, Miss Lina was worried that I was being ambushed, so she gave me a mission to go to 16 Williams Street to retrieve one of her things.
"Well, 16 Williams Street was originally Lieutenant Bernard's property, but a few weeks ago Lieutenant mortgaged that house to the bank and lent him a large sum of money.
"Later, as you know, when the news of Lieutenant Bernard's death spread, the bank put the property up for auction, and soon there was a buyer.
"It was a gentleman who had returned from East Bairan, and had a large sum of cash in his hand, and had just bought the house.
"Hehe, this information is what I have collected habitually, and it looks very normal...... But the night before I was about to do it, I stumbled upon this scum from East Bailang who hired gang members to forcibly abduct a lonely girl......
"And one of the girls I recognize...... She is the fiancΓ©e of Inspector Vane's youngest son, Miss Jennifer. β
Abner looked at the police officer who dared to make a fuss at Inspector Vane's funeral, and immediately understood his motives, so he asked, "So you just sneaked in and saved people?" β
"I found out that the man was going out for dinner tonight, and the bodyguards he hired would be with him, so I ...... Who would have thought that there would be such a ferocious beast in his home! Speaking of this, Xiao Ke's face was a little ugly, obviously because of the excessive mood swings that affected the injury, he relieved for a while before asking: "You went to that villa before, did you rescue the girl who was taken away?" β
Abner shook his head and sighed, "I didn't find anyone alive in that villa...... this is true, although he was running fast at the time, he really didn't notice the breath of a living person there.
Shaw Ke was immediately deflated when he heard this, and said, "Bruce doesn't know how sad it will be...... He loved Jennifer's ...... since he was a child"
The three of them were silent for a while, and Abner arranged for Shoko, who was obviously mentally weak, to go to the guest room to rest, and then said to Hugh: "You go and report to MI9 now, and tell them that there may be werewolves of the 'Rose School' in that villa." β
"Didn't you say ...... before" Hugh was a little puzzled at first, but quickly reacted and said suddenly, "So you said this to attract the attention of MI9?" β
Because he could not provide any evidence, it was impossible for Abner to say about "1-025", so he could only report the case to the authorities under the pretext of the "Rose School". And the "Rose School" had dispatched a demigod in the war in the northwest suburbs before, and this weight would not make the military take it lightly.
"That's right." Abner bowed slightly, although the seal seemed to be not low in wisdom, and the official action might not be very fruitful, but it had to be tried.
"Okay, I'll go." Hugh apparently thought of this as well, and immediately got up, only to grab another honey biscuit before leaving.
Abner smiled and shook his head, and after cleaning up all the leftovers, he washed up and fell asleep on the bed.
Early the next morning, Abner went to the Garden Villa in Jowood as usual.
Seeing him push the door in, Mrs. Scudder hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "The renovation is completely finished, and the new furniture is in place...... Well, the books you bought in the past two days are also on the shelves. β
"Good." Abner smiled when he heard this, apparently the books he had bought temporarily were for cover for "The Feast of Blood", and now that he had all the skills, he was waiting for the actors to enter.
With this in mind, Abner took out a pen and paper, wrote a list, and gave it to Mrs. Scudder. And commanded: "I am going to hold a banquet here tomorrow night, and I hope you and Mr. Scudder will prepare it...... Also, send the invitation to the address in this list. β
Mrs. Scudder nodded yes at first, but when she took the list and looked at it, her expression became a little strange, because except for a few men at the top, such as Mr. Mack and Mr. Stanton, it was all of them:
"Miss Hugh Dilcha;
Miss Furth Wall;
Miss Susan Ravenwood;
Miss Roman Brandon;
Miss Dalie Simone.
β¦β¦
β
Isn't that really going to be a problem? Mrs. Scudder hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "What......'s this?" Do all the people on this list really want to send out invitations? β
