Chapter 95, the time of disappearance
It was Lilith who told Luger the news, who had skipped class and came to the payroll. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Luger put down the phone in his hand, and looked through the newspaper that Lilith bought on the road, just like the constant sound of "hey" on the other end.
It was a morning newspaper, and due to the development of the steam-printing process, the price of the newspaper was relatively cheap.
But don't expect the news to be fresh in the newspapers......
What happened last night, put aside this morning, and that's the freshest news. Of course, there is also a regional restriction - local only.
In this newspaper, there was news that the daughter of a Louville scholar had died because she had received a curse letter.
Probably because of the reputation of the Louville scholars, the editors of the newspaper described the news in great detail, and even put some autopsy reports from the police station in order to increase trust.
Luger's brow furrowed more and more tightly from beginning to end.
It seems that all his speculations are wrong.
"Even, it may not be a soul attack......" Luger narrowed his eyes as he let out a long breath. The clues in his hand are slim, and the machine brain has repeatedly calculated, but there is no result.
However, it was too early to tear them all down, and he planned to see Ariel's body with his own eyes.
He and the Louville Scholar are also acquaintances, and he has also received a curse letter, and he wants to visit, and the likelihood of the Louville Scholar refusing is very low.
At this time, in the phone that Luger casually rested on the table, the sound of "hey" finally stopped.
"Damn, this broken machine has dropped again, and it seems that I still have to make a trip. The end of the phone, after this sound fell, immediately clicked and hung up directly.
Luger put the phone back on the shelf, then looked at Lilith and said a little strangely, "How do you know?"
"My friend's uncle from school, the president of the Curse Killing Society, happened to see your name on the list of new members and told me about it. Then I asked someone to inquire, but I didn't expect to get the news, and I thought it would be useful to you, so I came to tell you, and bought a newspaper by the way. ”
"Thank you. Luger laughed casually, finally understanding why Lilith had gone to the paycheck office to look for him while he was still looking for her.
The nobles had a wide social circle, and it was extremely easy to get some information.
It should be Lilith who paid special attention after knowing that he was removed from his post and sent Wilk.
Putting on her coat, Lilith put down her satchel, came over to help Luger tie it, straightened his collar, wrinkled her nose suddenly, and then inhaled hard, and her two beautiful eyebrows suddenly tightened.
"It's not the smell of encore, it's another woman!"
"It's the daughter of the Louville Scholar, whom we met yesterday at a table. Luger was calm, and even rolled his eyes.
"Really?"
"Why don't you go along?" I'm on my way to visit the Lower Louville scholars. ”
"Nope. Surprisingly, Lilith shook her head.
Luger was surprised: "Really not going?"
"Scholar Louville is my teacher, and if he knew that I had missed class, he would not have let me go. And his daughter is dead, and now he must seize the opportunity to take out his anger on me. Lilith said pitifully with a bitter face.
Luger raised an eyebrow, a look of schadenfreude.
Then, before Lilith had a seizure, he quickly ran out of the door, called out to Lauren, told him to tell Encore that he had something to do, and went out to stop a carriage.
He went straight to the house of the Louville scholar.
The address is a bit remote, in the old town, a walled villa.
After getting out of the carriage and paying the fare, Lugar looked up, but was a little surprised. Outside the villa, there was not even a horse-drawn carriage, and the neighborhood was deserted, and no human voices could be heard. But the door was open, presumably with people inside, and Luger entered.
Just at a glance, Luger was even more surprised than just now, and his face was stunned.
The inside of this villa is even more deserted than the outside.
It's even a bit desolate.
The bonsai in the courtyard, because it has not been weeded and cared for for too long, is not only full of cobwebs, not to mention, overgrown with weeds, and the plants and trees planted have now withered more than half, leaving only a few leaves still hanging on the branches, swaying slightly.
Luger looked strange, the place was so desolate that it didn't look like it was inhabited.
But this is indeed the residence of the Louville scholars, and there is no one in Wilk City who does not know it. After all, this nationally renowned university scholar is a native of Wilk.
Luger walked up the corridor, and he was astonished by the dust on the ground, which could never accumulate this visible dust in ten days and half a month.
A few spiders hung upside down, from the eaves of the corridor, hanging down.
When a light wind passes, the spiders sway from side to side. They had been dead for a long time, and they were left with shriveled corpses.
The more Luger walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
As soon as he approached the villa, he immediately stopped. Inside the door of the villa, there was a scene of wreckage, chair legs, broken tables, and other pieces of furniture, bits and pieces, which occupied the entire field of vision.
Because of the humid climate, black mold spots have grown on the walls in many places.
In the thick wet and fishy smell, it is a choking smell that cannot be concealed.
"How long has it been since this was inhabited?" Luger refused to believe that there were still people living in this place, and he shook his head and was about to leave.
But suddenly, there was a bang.
Luger was alert, and at the moment of the sound, he looked over. I saw an iron basin, lying on the ground together, caused by just falling from a high place.
Suddenly looking up, Luger suddenly changed color!
Because he saw a familiar face, an illusory figure, hanging upside down from the ceiling, a face that was incomparably clear, and the eyes of disastrous defeat, released a faint green light, staring at him deadly.
"Ariel?"
Luger punched out, and out of thin air there was a thunderbolt, the air was blown up, and the explosion was extremely piercing, and it spread in an instant.
After a long distance, the figure that suspected Ariel was affected, and immediately became a wave of water, and disappeared in a volt together.
Immediately turned around, and Luger pulled his legs and ran.
This place is definitely not normal!
He rushed out of the gate in one breath, and suddenly the noisy human voice came into his ears, and he looked up, only to see that the people and vehicles on the street were shuttling back and forth, and the desertion he had just seen were completely two extremes.
"What's going on?"
Luger couldn't understand, he shook his head, and had to call a carriage back, but when he arrived at the salary office, Luger was instantly stunned.
"You say...... I've been missing for half a month?"
