Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Car Dealership
"What fake medicine did she drink?"
On the top of the tall building next to the Royal Library, looking at the brightly lit library, Fan complained helplessly.
"It's not a fake drug! That's the elixir I've carefully brewed! ”
Erin, who was floating next to her, curled her mouth and explained, "She just drank a little too much." ”
"That is, how can you say that the Lucky Potion is a fake?"
Rosie on the side smiled and raised the book in his hand, "Look, isn't this lucky to find it?" ”
Got it???
Fan and Erin looked over in surprise.
I saw a name written on the open page.
Lady Hailey Gregory (832 - unknown), born in the Brantania Wettin family, married at the age of 16 to Ednifeld Gregory, disappeared in 853.
……
"I'm so lucky right now, just grab it and find it!" Rosie said happily.
Ignoring Rosie, Fan looked at the information in the book and asked Erin, "How long will the effect of the elixir last?" ”
"If it's a normal dose, it's about five minutes."
"What about someone like her?"
"Uh...... I haven't tried, but it shouldn't take more than ten minutes. ”
Hearing Erin's answer, Fan immediately handed back the book he had taken from Rosie:
"Try it and see if you can find any clues related to this case."
???
"This kind of thing that requires reasoning and judgment is to be found with a magic elixir?
Are you looking for a bug here? ”
While smiling and complaining, Rosie subconsciously took the book back into his hand.
Ignoring Fan's face sank because of her complaints, she opened the book with a "bang", and looked at the unfolded page casually:
The Gregory family, themselves the nobles of the Steyvat dynasty, gradually declined in the later years of the Steyvat dynasty. Although it seems that the dignity of the nobility has always been maintained, in fact, the family's finances have been in a difficult position to make ends meet until Ednifeld inherited the title.
It is said that at that time, the family could not even afford their own carriages, so they had to rent them for a long time from a carriage company called Bilbom.
Bilbom Carriage Dealers?
Rosie, who remembered the draft of Holmes' reasoning, immediately pulled it out of her inventory.
Sure enough, on the manuscript paper with the background of the coachman, it was written:
He is currently employed by Bierbohm Carriage Company.
"Found it! That's it! ”
"Ding, head to the Bierbohm carriage shop and investigate new clues."
At the same time as Rosie was excited, the system's prompt also came as promised.
So exaggerated?
Fan originally just had the idea of giving it a try, but at this time, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
He half-jokingly said, "Why don't you just try, can you find Sherlock's whereabouts directly?" ”
"What are you dreaming about? In my opinion, the elixir is only a temporary increase in luck, reducing the time we spend on investigation when there is a direction. ”
As he spoke, Rosie gave him a blank look and continued, "And when we don't have a clue, it's lucky that it can help us find a little direction. ”
She shook the draft page in her hand: "Yoo! That's where it gives us the direction of investigation! ”
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly hung up, and Rossi didn't hold it steady, and the manuscript paper in his hand was blown away.
"Huh! Scraped away! Erin exclaimed, ready to fly in pursuit.
But Fan next to him stopped him: "No need to chase, we already have clues, this manuscript paper has no such effect." ”
Seeing Erin casting her inquiring gaze on herself, Rosie smiled: "Just listen to him, don't worry, I took a picture." ”
However, the three of them did not pay attention, and the manuscript paper fluttered in the air for a long time, and unfortunately pasted on the street lamp pole with the "Hamlet" propaganda poster in the opposite square.
……
Bierbohm is located on the outskirts of Brantania City, which is coincidentally not far from the village of Newcastle.
"Fan, you know Brantania well?"
Erin chitted casually.
I only heard Fan say in a mellow voice: "As a monster...... Exorcists, in order to quickly find and track down their targets, must know everything about the city. ”
You weren't talking about exorcists, were you?
Oh, you know that you are not from the punishment agency!
Noticing the words he blurted out inadvertently, Rosie glanced at him meaningfully and didn't debunk it.
By this moment, she had recovered from the side effects of the elixir.
The car shop was not like a library, and there were no decent guards, except that there was a small room at the entrance of the compound that included the carport and the stable, and the night watchmen could keep warm and rest.
In the case of the archives where the driver's files and employers' contracts are kept, there is no need to be guarded at night.
However, when the three of Rossi rummaged through the files and found information related to the disappearance of Hayley Gregory and Margaret, they never found anything out of the ordinary.
If it weren't for the hints in the quest panel, Rosie would have thought it was just a coincidence!
It seems that the clues are not hidden in these materials......
Putting down the paper in hand, Rossi cupped her chin in thought.
"Let's go to the carport and the stable." At this time, Fan proposed.
Leaving the archives, bypassing this row of red-roofed bungalows, inside the compound behind is the carport and horse shed of the car dealership.
As a car dealer that has been around for more than 100 years, its carriages are painted in a uniform brown and green color, and the horses are all made of the world's largest horse, the Shire horse.
With only a cursory glance, Rossi knew that it would be difficult to find an answer here, so he turned his attention to the room with the large glass window at the entrance of the compound.
Because the place was far from the city, there was no gas, so only the dim kerosene lamps flickered inside.
The old man who was keeping vigil was half-lying on the bed with his back against the wall, his head dozing little by little, not noticing that anyone was approaching outside the window.
Aggressive!
The knock on the door woke him up instantly.
Hearing the swear words muttering from the old man's mouth, the smile on Rossi's face instantly disappeared.
There is no need for greetings, and the level up interrogation skills are enough to have a direct impact on Muggles:
"Do you know about Lady Margaret's disappearance?"
"Of course, there's nothing I don't know about Bilbom's car dealership." His tone was more proud.
"And what do you know about it?"
Hearing this, the old man babbled a lot, but basically Rosie already knew about it.
After listening patiently, Rosie spoke again:
"Do you know anything about the disappearance of Mrs. Hayley Gregory a hundred years ago?"
Hearing this, the old man froze in place, as if he was recalling something.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Rosie was about to ask questions, when he saw a frightened expression suddenly appear on his face, and shouted loudly:
"Ghosts! It's a ghost! ”
"Ai~Lin! You're scaring him......"
Rosie turned his head helplessly, but what caught his eye was a carriage slowly driving out of the void.
