Chapter Thirty-Six: Two Books, One Ear

8 a.m., 37 rue Champagne.

Roy took out 4 pennies, handed them to the coachman, and got out of the car.

He walked to the door and slammed on the door.

After a while, the door did not open, but he noticed the side window, the curtain was pulled open, and a woman watched carefully from the inside.

When she saw Roy, she quietly shrank back.

"Lady Marlene, I'm an inspector investigating the fire in the factory, could you please open the door?"

Roy shouted.

After a few moments, there was a faint sound of footsteps inside, and then the woman opened the door and quickly pulled him into the room.

Roy looked at her.

The woman's appearance is not bad, and her face is haggard, which adds a little pity to me.

Inside the room, a delicate and beautiful girl cautiously probed and was frightened back into the room by the woman's glare.

Lady Marlene apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought it was someone from other gangsters." ”

"I'm Roy, the precinct's inspector."

Roy takes out his papersβ€”

This is the certificate he got after he became a full member, and he didn't have to be so troublesome when he negotiated with people.

The other party glanced at it, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Roy, what do you need, I will definitely cooperate." ”

"Your husband is a member of the money prankster, and I want his personal belongings, preferably those that he wore in the days before the incident."

Roy said.

The things at the scene are either destroyed, or there is no way to recognize whose it is, and finding something from the scene for divination is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

This morning, he searched the homes of several core members of the Splashgold Party and tried many things, but found nothing.

Lady Marlene's husband was also a prominent member of the Prinkers.

Lady Marlene turned and walked up.

Roy followed, only to find that they had packed everything and looked like they were leaving Tingen.

"You're leaving?"

"Recently, we have been followed a lot on the streets, and there are signs of burglars in our homes. Hey, the Splashing Gang used to offend a lot of people, and now they have all found them when something happens. ”

Lady Marlene grumbled.

Being tracked?

Roy paused for a second, then didn't reassure himself and kept up with the footsteps.

She moves very quickly.

quickly took out a bag that was not too big, put it in front of Roy, and then leaned over to clean it up: "Mr. Roy, this bag is full of his more important and personal things, and I took some of the less important things and threw them away." ”

"Did you have anything from the days before the accident?"

Roy took a look.

The bag was not large, but it was full of clothes, some jewelry, watches, and no signs of spirituality or extraordinary abilities.

It's going to take it one by one, and the hell knows when.

Madame Marlene pondered for a moment and said, "There was a watch that was shattered three days before the accident. ”

She rummaged through her bag, and found a watch with a broken screen and hands and gears falling out, but it was a gold-edged silver watch, which was worth a lot of money, so she kept it.

"Where did you fall?"

"Well, that's not clear, but it's probably somewhere on Rue Champagne, because he was drinking at the Bar de la Black Iron on Rue Champagne that day, and then he walked back down the street."

Black Iron Bar?

This isn't their bar?

Roy said in his heart.

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

Lady Marlene shook her head.

The range of personal belongings in the past few days is too small, not to mention that some have been thrown away.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, how many days do you need to use it?" ”

"I'll take a look, and I'll give it back to you later."

Roy knew that the other party was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't want to stay in Tingen longer or take up more time, so he took the watch and left.

"Shall I borrow the bathroom?"

"Yes."

Marlene thought about it for a second, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

She was probably worried about dropping her bag.

Roy smiled and saluted, then walked to the bathroom.

When he got to the bathroom, he held the silver watch and repeated it in his heart.

"The scene where it was shattered."

Soon, Roy cleared his mind, gathered his spirituality, and fell into a deep sleep.

The scene changes to night, and a man staggers down the street, looking like he's drunk.

Suddenly, he saw a package, and when he bent down to pick it up, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

He slapped his left hand against the wall, and for a moment the fragments flew into disarray.

He picked up the package, which contained two books and an object that looked like an ear, and it looked very strange.

This is the end of the picture.

Roy's eyebrows jumped.

Ear.

Two books.

In this way, they were followed, probably because the Aurora Society wanted to get back two books and an ear, but they were not sure if they were here, so they tracked and investigated.

Roy thought for a moment and took out the pendant.

"It's the members of the Aurora Society who are tracking and investigating Lady Marlene."

Seven times in a row, turn clockwise.

It's the Aurora Society.

"Living in this house would be dangerous."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The pendant slowly turns counterclockwise.

Negation.

There is no danger in staying here.

The Aurora Society members were sure they weren't here, so they searched the rest of the place.

He came out of the bathroom, and Madame Marlene stood in the doorway, her eyes fixed on the watch in Roy's hand.

Roy thought for a while and said, "If you sell this watch, it will be a few sylles at most, how about I give you 10 soules?" ”

"Yes, of course!"

Lady Marlene nodded hurriedly.

Roy nodded and asked again, "Did he come back that day with a package?" ”

"Yes, he has a package in his hand and won't show it to me."

Madame Marlene couldn't help but complain.

"Didn't you see this cleaning?"

"Nope."

The woman shook her head.

"Thanks, I see."

Royce past 10 sΓΌh.

Then, he smiled and said: "In addition, I still know a little bit about divination, I calculated for you just now, there should be no danger in continuing to live here, I will also let people strengthen the surrounding guards, if you just want to move out of anxiety, you might as well continue to live, of course, how to choose yourself Madame." ”

"This!"

Lady Marlene was surprised and delighted, and wiped her hand restlessly on her clothes, and then blushed slightly, "Sir, why don't you stay for lunch, orβ€”"

"No, it's our police department's responsibility to keep everyone safe."

Roy smiled slightly, put away the silver watch, and walked downstairs.

Mrs. Marlene sent him downstairs, and when he arrived at the door, seeing that Roy was really leaving, she whispered, "Mr. Roy, you are such a good person. ”

Good?

Roy looked stunned and waved his hand and left silently.

He sat in the carriage, his mind returning from Madame Marlene to the silver watch, two books, and ears.

The silver watch displays a lot of information.

The ear should be an extraordinary characteristic of the listener.

Two books may contain doctrines and ritual magic, and the rituals secretly performed by the Splashing Gold may have been learned from those two books.

Now there's a problem.

What about books and extraordinary features?

The Aurora Society obviously didn't get it, otherwise it wouldn't have rummaged through the cabinets in Marlene's house.

"It doesn't matter if those two books are copied or not, I am definitely not an opponent of the Aurora Society alone, this matter must be reported to the church, and they will be found with the help of the power of the mechanical heart."

Those three things are scourges.

They have the power to deceive people's hearts, and people are unconsciously affected by it and finally cause tragedy, and there are all kinds of coincidences in their appearance, which must have been deliberately thrown by someone with a heart.

Roy closed his eyes and meditated, seizing the time to regain his spirituality.
