Chapter 14: Parchment
"You don't know?" Professor Arya was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said with a look of remorse: "Oh, damn, I thought Inspector Oscar had already told you, I'm really sorry, you just thought I didn't say anything just now." ”
As she spoke, she got up slowly, beckoned to the nurse in the distance, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Sean: "By the way, please tell your aunt Arianna, I can't find the IOU she received last time, so she doesn't have to pay it back, and let her stop running around for your school expenses, I have already paid for your school expenses." ”
Without waiting for Sean to respond, she smiled and followed the nurse with graceful steps to the area where the ward was located......
Sean stared blankly at the back of Arianna leaving, and said, "Isn't there a pension of five hundred gold coins at home?" Why does my aunt ...... her?"
"However, Professor Arya is indeed a kind and beautiful lady, and it is a great blessing for my aunt to have such a teacher."
After bowing deeply to Professor Arya, Sean was no longer in the mood to wander around, and hurriedly ran in the direction of home according to the route in his memory.
Although he had two silver coins in his pocket, and the cost of a carriage ride in the city was only 25 copper coins, he didn't dare to spend this "huge amount" of money at the moment.
Fortunately, the location of his house is also in the Tulip Block, so the distance is not too far, after walking and trotting for more than ten minutes, he finally saw his home, the residence at No. 34 Garden Street, from the outside, the house is not big, there are two floors, it is very clean, and you can see a small yard with some vegetables.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a lawyer was standing at the gate of the courtyard and kept looking inside, looking sneaky.
Sean stared, looked left and right, picked up a stone from a corner, and walked over with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened.
"Who are you looking for, sir?"
Sean walked up to the middle-aged lawyer, estimated the distance between his lower arm and the other party's arm, and silently took a deep breath.
Although I don't know who the other party is and what he wants to do, it is normal to think of my aunt's pure and beautiful appearance, and some hateful perverts appear.
"Uh...... Are you also from this street? Do you know when Ms. Arianna will be back? ”
The middle-aged lawyer glanced back at Sean, judging from Sean's immature face, the other party was not yet an adult, so he was not ready to pay attention, but suddenly he thought of something, so he asked eagerly.
Ms. Arianna? Do you even know the name? Is it really my aunt's harasser...... Sean's eyes flashed with a light flash, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "This gentleman, I am Sister Arianna's neighbor, and I live next door, I don't know what you have to do with Sister Arianna?" ”
He thought about it, as long as he was sure that this man had bad intentions, he asked the other party to go to the hospital to feel the terrible osteopath.
Sister...... The middle-aged lawyer keenly caught this particular word, the wariness in his eyes subsided a lot, and he coughed lightly: "Here's the thing, I saw the news in the newspaper that Ms. Arianna wanted a mortgage, so I looked for it according to the address, but I didn't wait for Ms. Arianna. ”
Mortgage? Sean was shocked in his heart, and pretended to be surprised: "Which newspaper did you read it from, why didn't I hear from Sister Arianna?" Oh yes, what do you need for a mortgage? My family also seems to need a temporary amount of money to turn around. ”
"Your family needs money too?" The middle-aged lawyer automatically filtered the previous words, skillfully took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, tightened his tie, and said, "Introduce yourself, Martin Oliver, a professional lawyer." ”
Sean looked at the Martin lawyer as he took the business card with his other hand and read, "Legal counsel of the Red Real Estate Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"Well, you go back and give my business card to your parents, they must have heard of Red's name, Viscount Red's."
Martin Oliver had a professional smile on his face, and when he said the word Red, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and his face was proud.
There was a burst of surprise in Sean's eyes, because he did have the person Viscount Red in his memory.
Viscount Hunter Red, the owner of the contemporary Red family, has many titles such as philanthropist, banker, real estate dealer and so on in Barot City, and is a household name in the entire Barot City.
So, this person is not my aunt's harasser, but really found here through the newspaper?
Sean pondered, quietly inserted the hand holding the stone into his pocket, and showed a trusting smile on his face: "Oh, it turns out to be the Chamber of Commerce of the respected great philanthropist Mr. Hunter Red, what a pleasure, sir, you can rest assured, I will definitely pass this business card to my parents." ”
As he spoke, he changed his words and said again: "By the way, Sister Arianna hasn't been back for several days, and if you want to find her, you will have to wait for a while." ”
"That's right......" Martin Oliver frowned, but quickly stretched out and smiled, "Thank you very much for informing, then I'll wait a while." ”
As he spoke, he said goodbye and left, and when he walked far away, he suddenly turned back and shouted, "Remember the business card." ”
Sean smiled and waved, then watched the other man's back disappear from sight......
Standing silently at the door for a while, he put away his thoughts, found the key under a flower pot according to the memory in his mind, and then opened the door and entered the house.
As I remember, a simple brown and white layout, with white gas pipes running along the edge of the roof, and the cool black charcoal under the fireplace, there is a living room, a dining room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms on the first floor, and a small triangular top floor on the second floor, with rows of bookshelves, desks, chairs, and a kerosene lamp.
In his mind, he automatically remembered the picture of his aunt coaxing him to sleep in the bedroom on the first floor every day, and then quietly went upstairs to read and study, and even, in order to save money, his aunt replaced the more expensive gas lamp with a kerosene lamp.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? What about my father's 500 gold coin pension? Didn't my aunt get it? ”
Sean automatically made up the plot of some martyrs' descendants being embezzled by shameful officials in his mind, and couldn't help but clench his fists angrily.
However, all this was only speculation after all, and after he calmed down, he returned to his room and became familiar with everything in his memory.
Then, he went to his aunt's bedroom, which was still in the same style as the second floor, except for a bed and a long bronze mirror, all of which were rows of bookshelves and neat books on the shelves.
He glanced at it, "History of the First Roman Empire", "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Augustinian Empire", "The Legend of the Cadiz Family", "Ancient Languages of the Dark Ages", etc., all of which were books related to history and legends that gave him a headache in his head.
When Sean lamented that his aunt was really a hard-working "scholar", his eyes were suddenly attracted by an old piece of parchment on the pillow on the bed.
It's not that Sean is curious, it's mainly that he remembers that his aunt is a lady with a neat fetish, and it is impossible and should not put a piece of parchment on his pillow.
Could it be that he was in too much of a hurry to go out after hearing about me last night and forgot to tidy up? Sean thought about it and walked over to pick up the parchment and flipped through it, his eyes widened suddenly, and he lost his voice: "This is ...... Traditional!? ”
