Chapter 122: Threatening Letter
Well?
She almost thought that Mr. Fool was repeating her previous words, and then she remembered what she had reported to him after praying to him in the morning, and reacted to it as his response to it.
There is no need to care, it seems that Mr. Fool has not paid attention to the pursuit of the "Aurora Society" and the "Witch Sect", and it is also that his followers and dependents are either mid-sequence extraordinaries like Sherlock who hide their identities, or high-sequence powerhouses who can easily kill Ziringus, so naturally they don't need to care.
The gray mist disappeared, and Angel appeared in front of Angel with the puzzled expression of Benny, a middle-aged teacher.
"Miss Watson, is there anything wrong with the translation?"
"No, it's okay, I'm just ......" she quickly denied it, and said casually, "I was just thinking about the student I met yesterday, huh...... She showed me the way and was very kind, like a call, Lily Granger. ”
"Lily Granger? That female student in the mechanical department? ”
Unexpectedly, Benny, the teacher of the archaeology department, actually remembered the students of other departments, which made Angel feel remorse for the topic he was looking for at random, but he could only nod and say:
"It should be her, blonde, round face."
"It's her, but Miss Granger...... Maybe it's more kind in front of outsiders. ”
Benny replied with a smirk, as if there was something in his words.
Seeing that Angel was a little confused, he cautiously added: "Miss Granger seems to have some concerns lately, and she has a little ...... for her classmates and teachers You're not welcome, well, I shouldn't have said that, sorry, don't take it personally. ”
Probably not wanting to talk about the negative news of the students, Benny quickly stopped, carefully folded the 15-pound bill, and returned to his seat under the envious gaze of his colleagues.
Angel thought about leaving the office, and in her mind, or rather Cole Granger, Lily Granger was a kind-hearted and somewhat cowardly girl, until she left Tingen for Beckland a year ago, which made Cole fear that she would be bullied here.
Such a girl is "not very polite" to her classmates, to her teachers?
Angel quickly catches the key word "something on her mind lately" in Benny's words, and speculates whether Lily's temperament has changed dramatically due to learning of Cole's disappearance and the death of her "cousin" Angel.
Remembering Lily's haggard face she had seen yesterday, Angel lingered and hesitated in front of the train at the entrance of the academy, and finally made the decision to return to the academy.
————
Waiting again for noon after class, Angel followed Lily Granger from a distance away from the academy to a residential street in the North End, watched her return to a two-story house, open the door and walk in.
Looks like this is where she lives in Beckland.
Angel did not rush to visit, but went around the alley behind her, and looked at the interior of the house by the window lightly, quickly figuring out the structure of the house and the location of the people inside.
"It's a pity that the 'Crimson Eye' is missing, otherwise you don't need to pick up the wall at all, you can easily understand the situation inside the building......"
Angel complained inwardly, but fortunately, the physical enhancement of the assassin path gave her extraordinary flexibility, and there were no surprises in the process of exploration.
Lily's house was home with only one handyman who was cleaning, and she had prepared her own lunch, and Angel almost suspected that the Night Church had not given her her pension.
But it could also be that Lily didn't want to show her wealth in Beckland, after all, 8,000 pounds is not a small number, and it is likely to cause unnecessary danger.
After finding a café nearby to fill her stomach, Angel waited for Lily to leave in the afternoon, and after the handyman maid also went out, she pried open the back door and entered the kitchen, and then came to the living room on the first floor.
The layout here is a little more compact than the house Angel rented in the Bridge District, about two-thirds the size, apparently because the high rental prices in the North District have affected Lily's choice, and she really doesn't need that much space to live in.
The furniture should also be attached to the rent, and the appearance is very old, but the whole living room is clean, and the potted plants on the windowsill and the decals on the wall also make this place full of life, which is much stronger than the house that Angel only used to hide.
After inspecting the first floor, Angel went to the bedroom on the second floor, and at a glance saw the upside-down picture frame on the bedside table, and his heart moved, and he stepped forward to help him up, and saw that the frame was a photo of Cole and Lily Granger, the same as the photo of Angel at his home in Tingen.
"Upside down, it seems that Lily has probably guessed what Cole's disappearance means......"
Angel put the frame back in place, went to the study on the second floor, rummaged through a pile of books on mechanical principles and designs, and did not find useful information, but instead allowed herself to develop a phobia of complex content, and looked at the professional books and had a headache.
Fortunately, she quickly found a letter in the drawer, the envelope was printed with the emblem of the Church of the Night Goddess, which was pressed under several notebooks, Angel opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was an obituary sent by the church, which simply mentioned Angel Granger's sacrifice in Tingen, as well as formulaic reassuring words, and did not reveal what should not be revealed.
Angel relocated the objects in the drawer, sat down at the desk that Lily should have used regularly, reached for the magic mirror, wiped the mirror, and began divination.
"The Magic Mirror tells me the reason for Lily Granger's recent personality change."
The divination phrase was very general, but Angel had no more clues, so he could only cast a wide net in the hope of seeing something.
The mirror remains in pure black for almost ten seconds before revealing the true divination picture.
It is clear that the divination is interfered with by some kind of force, but the power of the confrontation is not strong.
In the magic mirror, Lily was holding up a few letters in distress, then throwing them aside, rushing to the window of the study, slamming the window shut, drawing the curtains, and finally stuffing them into the gap behind the desk and leaving the study.
Putting down the magic mirror, Angel fumbled behind her desk for a moment, pulling out a few pieces of letterhead, which had been covered with a lot of dust, but the handwriting was still legible.
"Lily Granger, I know what your family has done!"
"I've been watching you!"
"You can't escape!"
“……”
It was full of similar threatening words, leaving Angel confused.
The handwriting is very sloppy, and the strokes vary in thickness, much as if they were written by non-idiomatic handwriting to disguise the handwriting, and there are no other traces of the letterhead or printed letterhead, and no clues can be found.
"Heh, if it were an ordinary detective, I would have to give up when I encountered this kind of thing, but I ......"
Thinking of what had happened recently, she still did not pronounce those two words, but returned to her desk, pressed the mirror to the letter paper, silently recited the incantation, and soon saw the appearance of the letter-writer.
In a sparsely furnished room, a middle-aged man holds a pen in his left hand, writes down the threatening words letter by letter, and then puts them in an unmarked envelope.
Similar clips flashed several times, and the mirror returned to normal, and it appeared that the threatening letters were all written by the same person.
"The first divination was interfered with, but the subsequent threatening letters were not ......," she said, looking at the letter paper on her desk, analyzing the matter, "the anti-divination forces are protecting Lily Granger herself, the night watchmen from Beckland, who are properly protecting the families of their fallen companions. And the source of these threatening letters, the middle-aged man does not have the ability to reverse divination, but he has certain anti-tracking skills, if I don't have divination, I may not be able to catch him......"
Angel tried to take the middle-aged man a step further, but this time he failed, but the reason for the failure was probably a lack of information, not a supernatural element.
After a moment's thought, she shoved the threat back into the gap in the wall behind her desk, restored everything in the study, and left Lily Granger's house.
Since supernatural means are useless, she plans to use some "traditional" methods to find more clues.
As she returned to the street from the back alley, Angel found a man standing against the wall in front of the café across the street, wearing a thick black trench coat and a top hat, standing steadily in the cold wind, his eyes sweeping over the door of Lily's house from time to time.
She walked under the other party's eyelids with a natural expression, glanced at the other party out of the corner of her eye, and found that it was completely different from the middle-aged man in the divination result just now.
Trench coat and top hat, attention to Lily's house...... Could it be that the night watchmen, who also know about the threat letter, are stalking, "fishing"?
