Chapter 111: Antina Acting Strangely
He and Bonnie weren't used to it at first, with the sewage flowing from the streets, the noisy noise of the neighborhood kids all day long, and the pungent smell that often wafted through the air.
Fortunately, with Chris's help, it is Chris's business to deal with the surrounding neighbors, and they get along well.
But fortunately, the rent is close to 1 gold pound a week, so that they can occupy the two-story building alone, otherwise the living conditions will be even more unbearable.
On more than one occasion, the siblings wondered how Chris managed to maintain good manners and habits in such a chaotic environment, albeit a little rustic.
Bert and Bonnie attribute all of this to Chris's adoptive father, Cole Simon, whom they never met.
I have to say that the cultural environment and the quality of the people in the western district are indeed much worse than those in the wealthy southern and eastern districts.
Because of hunger and poverty, people here don't care about so much etiquette.
Workers with a little bit of economic strength will harden their heads and want to move to the South and East Districts, trying to play the role of "decent poor".
Elton automatically ignored the scene in front of him and asked directly:
"Do you know what the name of the lady that Yarrow has in love with her is and where she lives?"
"How do we know about such a thing. The woman said in a loud voice, and then stopped talking to them.
Since it wasn't their own man who did the crime, they naturally didn't need to spend more energy.
Bert, who was behind him, noticed that one of the ladies suddenly had an unnatural expression.
Elton shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Well, have a nice time doing your laundry!"
Then he turned around and walked up to James, and said helplessly:
"Looks like we're going to need to inquire about the lady whose name I don't know. ”
James had no choice but to lead the two out of Yard 54.
And at the same time, at 32 Narim Street in the South District.
Barrot and his wife, Antina, sit on the couch in the living room, opposite Vayne, Bonnie, and Jeffrey.
Wayne looked at the furniture and decoration of the living room, and could see that the owner's family should be middle-class, and life was not bad.
Otherwise, I would not have gone to the third floor of the "Golden Tulip" and was willing to pay 10 gold pounds.
The hostess, Barot, wore a decent white shirt with a stand-up collar and a printed cotton waistcoat, while the hostess, Antina, wore a modest green tunic dress.
"Do you need anything to drink?" asked Barrot politely.
"No thanks. Vayne, who had been dressed up again, replied.
Saying that, looking at Antina, who was silent on the side, Wayne smiled and said:
"This lady, did you still have nightmares last night?"
Antina tugged at the corners of her skirt with both hands, seemed a little nervous, glanced up at Wayne, and did not speak, just nodded.
This...... Is it okay to be silent?
Wayne had a headache, and then glanced at Jeffrey suspiciously.
There was nothing unusual last night, could it be that he went too early, but didn't Jeffrey say that the ghost had already left?
"Do you remember the scene in the dream?"
Antina still shook her head.
"Well, I'd like to ask my assistants, Jeffrey and Bonnie, to take Mrs. Antina here for a simple psychological test. ”
Wayne looked at Barrot with a smile and continued, "But sir, you need to avoid it, I can just go to the second floor with you to talk about some things alone, don't you mind?"
Looking at his silent wife, Barrot nodded, and then led Wayne to the study on the second floor.
After the two sat down in their chairs, Wayne looked at Barrot and asked:
"How long have you been married, and are you still happily married?"
"We have been married for two years and are happily married and are currently planning to have a baby. ”
"Then why do you say that your lady often has nightmares, and does she react abnormally every night?"
Barot's expression seemed to be something wrong, and he replied:
"Because every morning, I can hear her babbling in bed. ”
"And did you tell her all about her unusual behavior?" Vayne asked, staring into Barot's eyes.
"Naturally. Barot's eyes glanced to the side.
"Sir, please tell me the truth of the matter, I am a detective. Wayne raised an eyebrow and stared at the other party's dodgy eyes seriously, "Please don't waste our time." ”
Barrot opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue about something, and then sighed helplessly:
"Well, I apologize to you, I lied.
"It's not that Antina has a nightmare, it's that every morning I wake up lately, I see her doing something weird.
"For example, she would hum a song while cooking, but she had never hummed before......!
"Or even what?" Vayne frowned.
"Antina hadn't had sex with me in a long time, and every time she was uncomfortable. ”
What's a bad reason for that?, Wayne thought with some amusement.
"So the reason I invited you here is to know if my wife is behaving inappropriately outside. ”
Is it inappropriate behavior?
However, Wayne would not debunk the sensitive self-esteem of the man opposite, and said:
"You can leave this matter to us with confidence, maybe there will be a result soon. ”
Just now, when he heard Barot say about Antina's abnormal behavior, Wayne keenly sniffed out a trace of abnormality.
It seems that the answer can only be found in Antina.
After seeing Wayne and Barrot go up to the second floor.
Jeffrey pulled out a black incense candle and a silver sheet from his pocket, a transcendent item of his own making, with special effects.
They are the "Sleeping Candle" and the "Awakening Charm" that can allow ordinary people to quickly fall asleep and wake up.
Incense sticks and silver flakes are covered with Constantine, as well as mystical symbols, all made of spiritual materials.
As for these methods of making charms, Jeffrey learned about them in his spare time, communicating with some spirits.
Just like the precious "Static Charm" before, it took Jeffrey two months to make, and the material alone cost nearly 10 gold pounds.
And these simple charms cost only a few hals, so they won't feel distressed to use.
It has to be said that this has some similarities to the ability of the "listener" to obtain ritual magic.
One is active and the other is passive. One is safer, the other is more dangerous.
After Jeffrey lit the "Sleeping Incense Candle", he saw a transparent flame burning slowly on the candle.
Then Jeffrey pronounced a word in Constantine in a deep voice:
"Night!"
