Chapter 182: "Arrangement"
On the way to the living room, Foirth looked out at the garden through the window on the first floor, and said to Hugh from the bottom of his heart:
"This is my dream home, and when I have enough money, I'm going to buy one of these houses in Beckland."
Hugh followed his friend's gaze, looked outside, and whispered:
"That's where I lived when I was a kid......"
After speaking, she noticed that she seemed to be a little out of shape, and quickly changed the subject: "I thought you would say that you would buy a manor in a suburb or other place with a good view." ”
"No, I would choose Beckland because there is more food here and more convenient." Furth said with a serious face.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the door of the living room.
Since the door was not closed, they could easily see through the crack in the door.
A girl in her twenties, dressed in a lace-trimmed low-cut gown, approached Abner, pretending to be curious and asking some question.
Hugh frowned at this scene and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Furth asked, surprised.
"There are traces of 'chaos' and 'madness' on that woman...... Hugh replied, pointing to the girl who was circling around Abner.
Hearing this, Furth looked at the young lady and said hesitantly, "It seems to be an ordinary person......
"Who says ordinary people can't be 'chaotic' and 'crazy'? Many of these people are actually more dangerous than the extraordinary. Hugh's expression became serious as he spoke, and he pushed open the half-open door and entered the living room.
Abner was annoyed by Miss Erin in front of him, but when he saw Hugh walk in, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly took a few steps back, and said apologetically to Detective Zerrell and Miss Erin, "I have a friend coming, so I'll miss me first." ”
"Please." Detective Zerrell replied with a smile.
Miss Erin on the side just wanted to say something, but she directly met Hugh's "majestic" eyes, her mind was blank for a moment, and her body trembled slightly, like a small animal that had encountered a natural enemy, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
By this time, Abner had left the living room with Hugh and Furth.
"It's horrible......" Erin muttered to herself.
"Hehe, that is Miss Hugh Dilcha, who is very famous in the Eastern District and the Docklands, and many gang leaders are subdued by her 'majesty', let alone you." Detective Rare explained with a smile.
"Hugh Dilcha? Does she have a good relationship with Detective Brian? Erin had recovered by this moment, and turned back to Rare the thief.
"It's rumored that they're close, and it seems to be true......" Detective Zariel nodded before playfully, "Hehe, you might have messed with her just now." ”
"It's just a little girl, and if you don't have a figure, I'm afraid you don't know how to please people...... When I find a chance to show Detective Bryan what I mean, I'll abandon her completely. Erin snorted.
……
In the stairwell leading to the third floor, Abner, who had already fully seen Miss Irene's "connotation" in the "backtrack" scene, was talking to Hugh about Irene's details.
"I see...... But Abner, be careful, I feel the 'madness' in her, she is probably the kind of person who will do anything to achieve her ends...... I'm afraid she's already eyeing you. Hugh listened to Abner's description with some concern.
"Don't worry too much, she's just an ordinary person." Abner wasn't very nervous about this, after all, judging from the scene of his "backtracking", the other party did not mean to set foot in the "extraordinary", otherwise with the breadth of her "friends", she would have been able to get the potion a long time ago.
At this time, Furth, who had been listening to it for a long time, saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so he changed the topic and said, "Abner, where are you taking us?" ”
"Go to the study on the third floor...... I know you don't like this kind of socializing, and I've set it up as a small library, quiet and well-stocked, where you can pass the time before the feast...... It's a good treat for a friend. Abner blinked, and said solemnly.
"It's great." Furth's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart suddenly jumped with joy.
What could be a better banquet than a quiet snack while reading a book, and a delicious meal after the main meal has begun? It was just perfect.
Hugh didn't have any objection to the reward, but when he saw his friend's happy appearance, he also pursed his lips and smiled, and then followed Abner into the study on the third floor.
As Abner said, except for a row of bookshelves in front of the west wall, the rest of the tables and coffee tables are filled with all kinds of melons, fruits, sweets, and drinks.
Behind the table and coffee table are two couches that can fit into a person, soft and comfortable.
When Foirth saw this, he immediately forgot to be reserved, and lay down on the couch directly, while grabbing a small cake, and complained: "It's really tiring to wear high heels." ”
The 'salted fish' lady wore a long light-colored dress with bold lace, a silk cut-out shawl, and high heels on her feet.
This was Hugh's dress for her, which was originally better matched with ribbon shoes, but Foirth was curious about how it felt to wear high heels and wanted to try it out for himself...... But at this point, she only had regrets left.
If it weren't for Abner's presence, she would have taken off her shoes.
Hugh shook his head, frustrated by his friend's indecent posture, stepped forward to straighten her body, and sat down beside her.
Abner was about to say something when he saw them seated, when a servant came to the door of the study and knocked on it, and reported, "Detective Brian, your friend Mr. Darkwell has arrived. ”
"Go ahead and get busy with yours, I'll be fine with Forth here." Hugh said directly when he saw this. She had come so early to help, and seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Mahert had arranged the banquet in an orderly manner, she dispelled the idea.
Abner nodded, and said unintentionally before leaving, "You can check out the books here, I have bought a lot of interesting books." ”
After saying that, he closed the door of the study, then took out the "Gold Solomon Coins" and wiped the blood stains from the front portrait.
……
In the study, as soon as Abner left, Furth took off his shoes and lay down on the couch again, completely ignoring Hugh's protests.
Hugh pulled the other party's slanted shawl, covered most of the white shoulders again, and then said, "You also pay attention to the image, what if Abner goes and returns?" ”
"What's this? Even if she took off all the shawls, it would be much less exposed than Miss Irene. Furth didn't care, but in the end he adjusted his lying position.
Hugh sighed, ignored her, and walked over to the row of bookshelves, where he quickly found two books of his interest, "Aristocratic Heraldry" and "History of the Kingdom of Intis."
Just as she was about to take it away to read, she suddenly saw a quaint book next to "Aristocratic Heraldry", which was the "Blood Feast" she had read in batches before.
"So the original is here." Hugh moved and pulled it off the shelf.
……
Tingen, Zotlandstraße 36.
By the time Klein entered Blackthorn Security, Rosan, Anna, and the others had already left work, and the place had become unusually deserted and dim.
Dunn, dressed in a black trench coat, sat on the sofa in the reception area, without gaslighting, and seemed to blend into the lightless area.
"Found a clue?" He spoke in a mellow voice, startling Crane, who was looking to see where the captain was.
Klein turned quickly, looked at Dunn's gray eyes and said:
"Yes, we ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly paused, for layers of illusory supplications suddenly echoed in his ears.
