Chapter 175: Karen's reply
Fallen Morning Star? That's a good name...... But why does it always feel familiar, but I can't remember it? Could it be that it also involves high-level information that is temporarily forgotten?
Abner frowned, putting the matter aside for the time being, he looked at Shoko in front of him, and asked about something he hadn't had time to ask last night: "You said Lina asked you to go to 16 Williams Street to retrieve something that belonged to her...... What is that? ”
Shoko hesitated for a moment, after all, it was different from the previous thing, it belonged to Lina's privacy, and he didn't know whether to tell Abner or not.
The tangled look on his face was so obvious that Abner could easily see what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Then you don't need to say it, let me reason." ”
Xiao Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously, deeply feeling that Detective Bryan was really an empathetic and good person...... However, it is a pity that he is still reluctant to reveal Ms. Lina's privacy, which is his principle of life.
At this time, Abner had already opened the "Pure White Eye", simulating the "mind-reading" ability he had just learned from the "Fallen Morning Star", and "read" part of the information in Shoko's superficial thoughts, so he said: "That's an extraordinary item that Lina usually uses, right?" ”
Xiao Ke was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect the first sentence of Detective Brian's reasoning to approach the truth.
"Is it supposed to be an extraordinary item in the shape of a claw...... 'Ice Claw'? So, she lost the seal later? Abner "read" Shoko's shallow thoughts, and speculated based on his own encounter with Lina.
Xiao Ke's eyes were straight at this moment, and he sighed: "It is worthy of being a 'hero detective'...... It's no wonder that you can solve so many big cases, and this kind of reasoning ability is like seeing it with your own eyes. Is this the 'deductive method' mentioned by Russell the Great? ”
Did Russell even mention the "deductive method"? It seems that he really hasn't read "Sherlock Holmes" because he hasn't written it......
Abner complained inwardly, and then analyzed: Lina also used the "Ice Claws" when she fought me in the warehouse, and Rey must have moved out of the villa at 16 Williams Street before the dance party at the Daily Observer's headquarters......
I remember helping Roman catch him and ending up meeting Lina on August 1st, which was Wednesday, and the Daily Observer's dance was on Friday night that week......
No, Cullen once said that the "Punisher" used the "1-025" to divinate Rey once before the Battle in the Northwest Suburbs, and there was an encounter near William Street, but because the witch had been prepared, one of the "Wind Dependents" on the "Punisher's" side was seriously injured......
That said, before that encounter, Rey could still sneak back to House 16 and place the Ice Claw there.
Well, the more than a week in between should have been Lina's "lucky" failure, and as a result, Rey was found, and the time of "Ice Claw" was lost as a result.
As for Inspector Vane's funeral, it was the day after he helped Roman catch the traitor, and it was on that day that the old man handed over the "Fallen Morning Star" to Shawko......
Sure enough, the two old men who gave away extraordinary items before and after were not the same person!
The former should have given up on Lina after she and the "Desolate" got married. Although she hadn't told Judy about Rey at the time, it was likely that she had already revealed it to Prince Edsak, and even if she was killed by Rey, it would still fall into the hands of the "Desolate", and she was worthless at that time, so the "lucky" ring was invalid.
And the old man who later handed over the "Fallen Morning Star" to Lina by Xiao Ke's hand is likely to hope that Lina will continue to live...... But what kind of calculations he had, there was too little information, I still can't guess......
Abner's mind was like electricity, and while thinking nonsense, he answered Shoko's question with a smile: "This is the charm of 'reasoning'. ”
Although he failed to keep Ms. Lina's privacy, Xiao Ke was not frustrated, after all, he did not take the initiative to say it, but Detective Bryan was too good to deduce the whole process of the matter through just a few clues.
After this, Shoko offered his farewell to Abner, who did not keep him, only reminding him euphemistically: "The 'Assassin' path will change significantly in Sequence 7." ”
However, looking at Shoko's disapproving appearance, Abner felt that his kindness was in vain.
After Shoko left, Abner looked at his pocket watch and found that it was past three o'clock, so he hurriedly picked up the "Fallen Morning Star" and went out to take the subway to Yuejihua Street in the south area of the bridge.
In the Harvest Church, Abner, who was pushing open the door, suddenly felt that his spirit was touched, and he quickly turned on his spiritual vision, and then saw a little bird struggling to carry a handbag out of the void.
"Sirika?" Abner was stunned, he didn't have "Amanda" or any other spiritual powder on him.
Silika, the bird, put down the pouch and chirped a few times at Abner, then pulled out a letter from the opening of the pouch.
Abner took the envelope and was a little embarrassed when he saw Silica staring at him motionlessly, so he simulated a little "psychic" breath, condensed it on his finger, and placed it in front of the bird.
Celica first approached curiously, lowered her body, and seemed to sniff, then she turned her head with a visibly disgusted expression and "chirped" a few more times.
At this time, Hazel, who was praying with Bishop Utravsky, looked back and saw this scene, she was silent for a while, and then she walked over, took out some spiritual powder, and put it on the ground of Celika.
Only then did Sirika cry out happily, fluttering her silver-white illusory wings to roll up those spiritual materials and disappear.
"Thank you." Abner looked at Hazel and smiled, "I really don't know how to entertain 'Sirika' without your help." ”
"Even if you don't give her anything, she won't be fine, at most she will be a little angry, and next time she will throw the letter directly in your face." Hazel said lightly.
"And this kind of thing? Are you familiar with it, uh, with her? Abner asked, surprised.
"I've been here for ten days, after all, and I know Mr. Cullen and Ms. Judy...... On one occasion, 'Celica' was in a bad mood and threw the letter directly at Mr. Cullen's head. Although Hazel's tone was flat, there was a clear smile in his voice at the end.
However, the once proud girl quickly restrained the expression on her face, turned around and returned to the emblem of the Mother Earth Goddess, and continued to pray.
Abner was not surprised to see this, after all, he had seen this scene many times before, and he did not rush to ask the bishop about the "fallen morning star", but opened the reply letter from Cullen first.
"The product of sterling silver...... Although our blood clan is not afraid, we can't talk about liking it much.
"Speaking of which, you and Russell are so similar, and the first gift he gave me was all sterling silver......
"Besides, I think that feather hat is suitable, so I'll pick it as a gift, and you can return the rest of the jewelry.
"Your friend, Karen."
