Andu sometimes thinks that some of Tonali's habits are pretended, but sometimes it may be because he pretends to be used to them, and it really becomes his habits.

Like his sometimes, the sudden, self-confidence that pops up out of nowhere.

For example, at this time, the incomprehensible pride on his face.

Andu thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood the source of Tonali's pride, after all, not everyone can be born with a golden key.

Isn't it a thing to be proud of to be born with such a good one?

Thinking about the "self" in the past and what kind of life he lived, he understood Tonali's thoughts more and more.

So, knowing that he was not worthy of pride, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Wait for me!"

Tonna wiped his sweaty cheeks with a towel before realizing that Andu had walked away......

Leaving the dueling arena, the two went to say hello to Archibald and Robert, after all, they agreed to participate in the wilderness survival assessment together.

......

Jobor Street.

O'Connor, dressed in a white robe, stood in front of an apartment with a hesitant expression.

In the long process of hesitation, he opened the folder in his hand as if he had made up his mind.

A sheet of information appeared in front of his eyes.

"Case: Property Dispute. ”

Location: Jobble Street 6th Street, Building 12, Bouman Apartments. ”

"Question: In the past three months, five residents and landlords have passed away. ”

"Elements of the incident: After the landlord died, the two sons had a disagreement over the ownership of the apartment. ”

"When: 762, March 23, issued on Monday. ”

"Original Inquisitor: Andu. Current Inquisitor: O'Connor. ”

"Overview: This case has been confirmed by the Purifier Investigation Team, and there is no evil object involved, and it is still under follow-up investigation, ...... by the Southern District"

O'Connor sighed softly, unresponsive for a long time.

I don't know why, in the past month, he has always felt that Ruskin seems to attach great importance to Andu......

Whether it is the assignment of cases or the handover of sorting, O'Connor can intuitively feel this.

Especially the difficulty of several cases, which is obviously inappropriate for a newcomer, but Ruskin still distributes it that way.

O'Connor put the papers away, took one last look at the apartment in front of him, and slowly walked inside.

There was no light in the dark hallway, and O'Connor had to carefully watch his feet to avoid accidents.

"Why is it so dark?" he whispered, looking at his surroundings.

Even during the day, the apartment does not feel a hint of sunlight, on the contrary, it is very damp.

It took O'Connor a few minutes to find the apartment where the original owner lived.

Today, the apartment is occupied by the former owner's eldest son.

"Knock knock!"

The crisp knock on the door was evident in the darkness, and O'Connor didn't wait long for the dilapidated door in front of him to open.

There was a grinding tooth creak from the door, and an emaciated man with deep dark circles appeared in front of him.

"Hello, I'm a church worker, O'Connor. ”

O'Connor said politely, and at the same time subconsciously frowned, because the man in front of him exuded a pungent smell all over his body.

It's a disgusting, sour smell that feels like it's been months since I've taken a shower.

The man nodded, opened the door, and headed inside.

O'Connor's furrowed brow did not soothe, and he followed the man into the room.

The first impression that catches your eye is chaos.

That's not chaos in the conventional sense.

Normally, in a normal person's home, even if clothes are scattered everywhere, things are scattered everywhere, and garbage is covered on the ground, it is just an ordinary mess.

Because no one will tear down the cupboards, they will not let the dishes break and still be everywhere, and they will not let the stinking garbage rot there.

Instinctively, O'Connor leaned forward slightly, a habit he had used as a purifier before facing danger.

"Mr. Harlan, I want to talk to you about you and your brother. ”

"Hart?" Harlan was stunned, his eyes a little glazed, "What's wrong with that guy?"

O'Connor said with a serious expression: "Your brother, Mr. Hart has applied to the arbitral tribunal for a trial on the ownership of this apartment. ”

The traces of saliva at the corners of Harlan's mouth seemed to have dried up completely, and the foul-smelling mouth odor was still clearly conveyed to O'Connor even after a few meters.

"I don't know, what did he say?"

O'Connor endured the strange phenomenon in front of him, as well as Harlan's sluggish reaction, took out a candle from his pocket, and at the same time paid attention to the other party's reaction,

He said that you are asked to hand over half of the ownership of this apartment to him. ”

The candle in his hand was placed on the table, and O'Connor took out a match and lit it without looking.

The room was slightly dim for a while, and there was a little more light, which made those creatures living in the dark extremely uncomfortable for a while, and they scattered and fled.

Harlan glanced at the candle in disgust, but didn't react more aggressively.

"I see. Harlan nodded, and with a lack of hair, he shook off a few hairs again with just one action.

"I'll discuss this with him. ”

As Harlan said this, he waved at O'Connor, looking extremely unwelcome to the guest.

O'Connor's nerves had been tense, but at this point, he relaxed a little, blew out the candle gently, and put it in his pocket.

"Thank you for your communication and hope you and Mr. Hart can have a satisfactory outcome. ”

With that, he retreated backwards to the door, not leaving his back to the other party the whole time.

It wasn't until he left the rotten apartment that he let out a sigh of relief, and his brow deepened.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

He muttered to himself, wondering more about the other man's behavior.

For more than a moment, he instinctively sensed a hint of danger, but when the candle was lit and he had finished preparing for the attack, it showed that everything was normal.

This is not normal!

Would a normal person make his home look like this?

O'Connor left the Booman apartment in a state of confusion.

And after he left, Harlan returned to his bedroom again.

Without O'Connor, he naturally couldn't see the more terrifying scene in the bedroom.

A large number of black, thick, slime-like objects were scattered everywhere, but they were reasonably circumvented to open a path, which was the way from outside the house to Harlan's bedroom bed.

Harlan, who seemed to be a little tired, fell the bed with sleepiness, and fell into a coma without even foreplay, like a worker who had worked hard all day on the docks.

He slept soundly, deeply, like yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday......

Leaving the Bouman apartment, O'Connor made his way to the Galway neighborhood.

This is the neighborhood where Harlan's younger brother, Hart, lives.

The father has an entire apartment under his name, and Hart, as the youngest son, naturally has a living environment that is not too bad.

Compared with his elder brother, Hart, as a younger brother, seems to be much more normal, Sven's conversation, dressed in formal clothes, and the house is clean and neat.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa, O'Connor pondered for a long time before asking,

"I want to ask you, how long has it been since I saw your brother?"

Hart sat in his chair, freshly brewed coffee in his hand, and thought,

"About a month, or more?"

Hart said in a mocking tone: "I don't have a good relationship with him, and after my father died, I have less contact. ”

O'Connor nodded, lost in thought.

So it seems that Harlan's situation must have changed in the last month?

Thinking of this, O'Connor looked up to observe Hart's reaction, and confirmed that Hart should not be aware of Harlan's current condition, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it's just a matter of the heart...... O'Connor speculated, and at the same time questioned his own initial judgment.

After all, not all people with mental problems are contaminated with evil things, not to mention that he also tried to test it with the white wax of the church.

Hart finally noticed that something was wrong, and said with some doubts,

"Is something wrong with Harlan?"

O'Connor came back to his senses and said with a smile on his face, "No, I'm just a little curious why you're here because of the property." ”

Speaking of this, his tone also carried a hint of depth: "When it comes to the arbitral tribunal, this nature is completely different. ”

Hart also sighed, and said helplessly: "My father had two properties during his lifetime, but after he died, he took the best apartment, leaving only one recession...... Even the unfortunate industry to me. ”

Anger grew on Hart's face, and he put down his coffee heavily, spilling it all over the table.

"Before, he said that he would go to stabilize the apartment first, and then he came to negotiate with me about the distribution of the property, but he never came to me again!"

"I've been to the apartment a few times, but there's no one!

O'Connor nodded understandingly, but couldn't help but wonder, "You mean, after you went, he wasn't there?"

Hart said helplessly: "That's right, I went three times, but I didn't find him, and when I went to his former residence, everyone said that he hadn't been back for a long time." ”

O'Connor immediately asked, "When was the last time you went to see him?"

Without hesitation, Hart said: "Last Friday, that is, the day I went to the tribunal to file a lawsuit. ”

As if this was not enough to show his sincerity, he added: "I waited outside the door all morning that day, and I didn't wait for him, and I don't know how he ran it, a good apartment, as dark as a haunted house, and most of the tenants were scared away!"

Not in the apartment?But Harun doesn't look like he's been out recently...... And in the apartment, it is indeed a little dark!

"Is he collecting the rent for the apartment now?" O'Connor thought for a moment.

"That's right, he's in charge, but I'm afraid there aren't a few families living in it now. Hart sighed.
