To be on the safe side, you have to say hello to Director Cross before you do your own business.

Cross was in a good mood, fiddling with his hat and handing over an agent badge.

"This is your badge, I wrote a report to it, you are the hero who killed the murderer, it should be rewarded, about a week later, be ready to speak. ”

Putting the hat on, he added.

"Rest assured, the person who found the murderer is a judge samurai, and you won't cause unnecessary trouble by receiving a reward. ”

......

Director Cross walked home, and Downing was given a special carriage for Cross, which was much more comfortable than riding a horse or walking.

Follow the main street all the way to the outside of the town, about two kilometers away.

On the side of the road there are several huts in a flat clearing, as well as a farm with herds of cattle and sheep.

Telling the driver to wait, he got out of the car and walked to the hut on the side of the road and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it wasn't a middle-aged man, it was a girl.

Red-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, with some freckles on the bridge of his nose, about twenty years old, wearing plaid pajamas, and a smile on his face that was as passionate as fire.

"Sir, do you want to buy lamb or beef?"

Follow the girl into the house, then through the back door into the inside of the farm.

"Could it be that Alfred is this girl?"

Downing was suspicious.

When she reached the back of the farm, she pushed the door open, and the girl unlocked the cabinet in the house and opened the door.

A steak and a lamb chop hanging inside were still bleeding.

"Step back and don't stain your clothes. ”

The girl kindly reminded her, and then clumsily dragged the lamb chop out.

"Well, I'd like to buy a sheepskin. ”

Looking at the girl's laborious performance, Tang Ning hurriedly reminded.

Hearing this, the girl laboriously hung up the lamb chops, walked to another cabinet and opened the lock, in which there were many sheepskins and cowhides, and she took one out and patted it with her hand.

"How about this one?"

Downing has no time to care about the quality of the sheepskin, as long as the size is in line.

"Just this one, how much does it cost?"

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door.

"Sharon, don't touch those things. ”

A middle-aged man with rough and flushed skin hurriedly barged in.

The girl shrugged and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Goodbye, guest. ”

Then he jumped out of the window with a puff of smoke, and his movements were vigorous, without any mud and water.

Tang Ning, who remained in the house, watched this scene in amazement.

The middle-aged man leaned on the window and scolded.

"I'll clean you up later. ”

He looked back at the young man with an apologetic expression.

"My daughter Sharon, make you smile. ”

Downing smiled back, this man must be the real Alfred, and he pointed to the sheepskin.

Alfred took the sheepskin.

"A Dante. ”

Downing took out a dent and placed it on the table, motioning to wrap the sheepskin.

Alfred expertly wrapped the sheepskin and asked.

"Why don't you have some beef and mutton?"

Today seemed to be a special day, and Tang Ning felt that it was indeed time to celebrate, and nodded.

"Here's a piece. ”

Alfred took the lamb chop from the cabinet again, brought it to the board, and gestured with his hand to see the young man nod, and then cut it from the place where he gestured and put it on the measuring tool, grumbling in his mouth.

"Damn the Kingdom officials, if they can collect a little less tax, I won't have to risk doing such a thing, and if the church finds out, I'll be finished, thirty-five subes. ”

Downing had already heard many people in the town complain about taxes, including Tiffany, who sold breakfast, and it seemed that cursing the officials of the kingdom was the most fashionable topic of conversation at the moment, and he was used to it, and as a member of the government department, he couldn't empathize.

Thirty-five supes were taken out of the few funds and placed on the case, and when he lifted the wrapped sheepskin and the piece of meat, he turned around and walked a few steps before turning back.

"Mr. Alfred, do you know if there are any hunters in Momiji Town who hunt beasts?"

Alfred was locking the cabinet where the lamb chops were kept, and turned around when he heard the sound.

"You're in luck, come with me. ”

Following the chatter and rebuke of the kingdom's corruption and immortality, Alfred returned to the cottage by the roadside.

Alfred motioned to wait a moment before going up to the second floor.

Downing waited on the first floor, when a familiar face appeared in the window on the first floor.

"I saw the notice yesterday, Mr. Stewart, you killed the monster. ”

There was a portrait on that sign, and it was easy to recognize.

Looking at the naughty girl poking her head in from the window, Tang Ning smiled.

"When he appeared twenty meters in front of me, I raised my hand to kill him with my magic, it was as simple as that. “

"It's not interesting at all. ”

The girl looked depressed, complained and fled immediately when she heard the sound of going down the stairs.

When he turned around, he saw Alfred come down with a piece of paper, which was stained with a lot of oil.

"That's the address, a hunter left me here, saying that someone who wants some meat from a special animal can look for him, you can look for it. ”

Leaving with the paper, a girl named Sharon at the edge of the farm not far away was looking at it.

Suddenly, the girl put her hands to her mouth and shouted.

"You don't belong to this world, that shell doesn't belong to you, you've been enchanted, and everyone in the Bureau of Investigation has been enchanted. ”

This sentence stunned Tang Ning, who was about to step into the carriage, and his fingers twitched involuntarily, as if his secret was about to be exposed, and he got into the carriage as if he had escaped, and signaled the coachman to leave quickly.

The vehicle left quickly, and Tang Ning's mind was nervous.

"How could she see her secret, why would she say that everyone in the Bureau of Investigation had fallen under magic?"

With this thought, he returned to Momiji Town, and decided that he must never go to that place again in the future, otherwise the secret might be exposed.

Keep the sheepskin and meat at home and go out and look for the address on the paper.

Find the person you're looking for in a nondescript house in the middle of town.

Strong Drake.

A stout middle-aged man, dressed as a witcher, the bronze owl badge on his belt was unusually conspicuous, obviously the owner of supernatural power registered by the Magic Association, and frowned at the detective badge on the belt.

"Dear Mr. Detective, hasn't Mr. Alex's case been solved?"

The other party obviously misunderstood.

Downing explained what he meant.

"I was looking for something special. ”

After clearing up the misunderstanding, he was brought into the house, and the strong smell of blood was uncomfortable, and there were a lot of animal skins and meat steaks hanging on it.

The economic depression of the kingdom can be seen even more from here, and even the people of the Magic Association have to work on a side job in exchange for a part of the income to support the family.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Strong Drake was gentle and detailed.

"Venison and wildebeest meat taste good, the rest of the meat tastes a little weird, if you are not used to it, it is not recommended to buy it, Mr. Detective bought meat to celebrate solving the case?"

Tang Ning smiled.

"Well, I want to buy lion skin. ”

Strong Drake was stunned for a moment, then smiled mysteriously, and pulled out half of the hide, a little dry, from the drawer.

"Do you want to make a lionskin belt? It takes about two dendts to make a belt. ”

It seems that the lionskin belt is not only needed for one's own magic rituals, but also involves a lot of supernatural powers, so the other party can understand his own use at once, so there is no need to hide it.

And there are new surprises.
