Chapter 34: Missing

"Of course you can, but if the soothsayer isn't there, the result will be more ambiguous." Lowe replied.

Belinda thought for a moment, then went to the table and sat down.

"Do you remember the divination you did yesterday for Yvette?"

"Yes. But do you mean a relationship or a decision? ”

"Decision-making."

Belinda shared with Lowe what she had refused when Yvette invited her to meet the medium after school.

"You said yesterday that she could be in danger."

"Yes."

However, Luo Wei himself knew that this was just for some kind of warning, and it was not necessary that something bad would happen.

"Yvette should have seen the 'medium' by now. I want you to help with the divination and see if she's really in any danger......"

The little girl began to worry about her best friend. Luo Wei silently praised in his heart that his sister is a good girl who cares about others, and the shuffle has been completed.

"If you want to tell if it's dangerous, one card is enough. But seeing how worried you looked, I decided to give you another helper card. ”

After the little girl drew one from the deck, Lowe followed suit, side by side.

"Alright, open it."

Belinda carefully flipped the card.

A card with a black background comes into view: a man and a woman with shackles around their necks, standing at the feet of a hideous-looking demon with bat wings.

"Good fellows, Devil."

The moment he saw the cards, Luo Wei's heart suddenly felt like he had been beaten by something, and he felt that his breathing was suddenly a little sluggish. An uncomfortable feeling of coldness creeps up from the soles of the feet.

"Demons? Is it a bad outcome? Belinda asked hurriedly.

"It's hard to say......"

The demon card itself is not a bad card, it means more in terms of greed, temptation of profit, stubbornness, or addiction, addiction, etc. But at the same time, it also has some meanings of "ghost tricks" and "falling into traps".

Lowe explained the basics to Belinda.

"It's strange that if you tell the good fortune, the result given by this card is quite ambiguous...... You say it's fierce? In fact, there does not appear to have been any substantial infringement. You say it's auspicious? Where does the explanation of temptation or greed come from? ”

It's okay not to say it, so Belinda is even more anxious.

"What then? Do you have to go to her in person to be sure? ”

"There's also a suggestion card, don't worry."

Lowe raised his hand to open the other card.

On the card is a man with his hands behind his back and one foot hanging from a wooden frame in a "D" shape.

The card was supposed to be head down and feet up, but because the card was reversed, it now looks weird with heads up and feet down, like a ballerina.

"Hanging Cards Reverse ......"

Luo Wei looked even more puzzled.

"I'll start with what you're most worried about." He looked at Belinda, "If you ask her what danger she is, then I can tell you very clearly, no, not at all." ”

The appearance of the Hanged Man to explain the Demon Card only indicates that Yvette is now in a state of some kind of hesitation and hesitation. And the source of this state is the "temptation of profit" revealed by the demon card.

If anything, she may be thinking about some kind of deal, and she is in the midst of a difficult decision. As for the good and the bad...... I'm afraid we can only wait for the outcome of this decision to know.

Lowe told Belinda about these thoughts.

The little girl fell into deep distress. She held her head and looked at the cards for a long time, and suddenly stared at Luo Wei and said:

"It must be that your divination level is not good."

Lowe: ?

"No matter, it's okay if it's not dangerous. I'll ask her myself tomorrow to see how much your prediction has come true, huh! ”

After saying that, the little girl got up and went to cook in a huff.

Lowe sat at the table and smiled.

Whether the level of divination stinks or not, it has nothing to do with the cards drawn themselves. After all, it was Belinda who drew the cards, not herself.

……

……

Lowe originally thought that the matter would be so simple.

He left the ring next to the sealed box that night, and sure enough, he slept soundly.

As a result, early the next morning, when I came to the Security Bureau, I bumped into a familiar figure.

The luxurious carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Security Department, and a young and beautiful lady stepped out of the carriage with the support of the housekeeper Lao Mai.

If it weren't for the obvious difference in height and clothing style, Lowe would have mistaken her for Yvette.

"Old Mai? Who is this lady next to her? ”

Luo Wei watched curiously as the two walked into the Security Department, quickly let the owl go, and quickly followed in.

"You've been checking all night, and there's still no progress?"

When I walked in the door, I saw the lady standing in the hall, talking to a man with a police officer's badge.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lane. We've deployed most of our police forces to investigate Jotun College. Three of the four nearby districts have already been screened, and it is believed that progress will be made soon. The inspector smiled cautiously.

"Then please arrange it, I'll wait here for your news." She looked angry and anxious, but still polite, "Every time Yvette goes missing, there is more danger. ”

Yvette?

Is this person Yvette's relative? Sister?

Lowe already had a guess in his heart. Listening to the words of the conversation between the two, you can understand that the girl probably had something happened yesterday and didn't come home all night.

Thinking of the results of yesterday's divination, Luo Wei suddenly understood that his interpretation of "Hanging Man" had made some mistakes. The meaning of that hanging card is not only hesitation and hesitation, but also the meaning of being trapped and bound.

Linked to the demon card and the shackles that bound the necks of the two, Luo Wei's heart tightened, and he trotted to the office area of the wizard team.

"You're saying that you went to see the medium and then disappeared?" Evan listened to his description and frowned.

"Yes. The last time my sister saw her was in a classroom at Joton College. ”

"I see." Evan nodded, "I will ask Wright to go to Jotun College to confirm that if the tracing spell fails, it means that Yvette's disappearance is indeed related to the wizard." At that point, the case will be taken over by the wizard squad. ”

"How can I help?"

You don't have to think about it to know how anxious Belinda will be when she goes to school today and finds out that Yvette didn't go to school.

"Not at the moment. I hope you are interested in another case involving Father Lawrence. ”

Evan got up and pulled out a folder from the iron cabinet, flipped to one of the pages and handed it to him, and said:

"We combed through Lawrence's interpersonal relationships in the past decade, and found only two suspicious points that may be related to the 'Church of the Death Knell'."

Lowe looked down and saw that the files were listed as "Chavir Fourth Street Jewelry Store" and "Matt Glitter". It details Lawrence's relationship with the two and when it was discovered.

"There are also all the records about the Church of the Death Knell in the archives, you can take a closer look when you have time, and if you have relevant impressions, you can always tell me." The captain patted Lowe on the shoulder, "I'll go find Wright, if you have already registered for attendance, you can go back first." ”

Lowe was fully equipped, so he didn't plan to go back immediately. He walked out of the hall with the file, ready to find a quiet place nearby to take a closer look at the file's contents.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into MacDonald, the butler waiting by the carriage.

"Mr. Austin? Are you now a police officer with the Security Service? Lao Mai greeted him in surprise when he saw him.

Luo Wei nodded: "I just joined yesterday." I've heard the news of Miss Yvette's disappearance, and there's already a witch ...... on the Security Service's side Professionals have taken over the matter, and there should be news soon. ”

He knew what Lao Mai was most worried about at this time, so he tried to be relieved.

"Thank goodness."

Old Mai babbled about what happened yesterday, why Yvette didn't return late, asked the school if she didn't know, the eldest lady was anxious, and so on......

But the more Lowe listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. It seems that there is one person missing from Lao Mai's narrative.

"What about Betty? Is she missing too? Lowe asked, confused.

But Lao Mai gave him an unbelievable answer:

"Who's Betty?"
