Demon Sage

v1 Chapter 45: Field investigation

The woman's hands were folded on her legs in a regular manner. She had white skin and delicate facial features. The long lavender dress still couldn't hide her beautiful figure. Her whole body only showed a small half of her ankle, but it was reverie. endlessly.

A woman who looks like a woman walking out of a painting, sitting next to Zille Bartley, whose body and face are not even average, inevitably makes people think of some incongruous words.

"Audrey didn't do anything particularly strange these days. Every morning, she took a walk, went to class, went to the town to meet her friends at noon, and went to class in the afternoon... This has been the case for some time ago, two days before she disappeared. He also learned to arrange flower arrangements with me, it doesn't seem like there is a problem."

Mirena Bartley, the wife of Ziel Bartley, the disappearance of her daughter seems to have caused her mental state to be in trouble, and there is an obvious delay in her speech and behavior. Although the meaning is complete, there are many pauses in the middle.

Donald's eyes lingered on Mrs. Bartley's body several times. This was not what he wanted, but he was a little difficult to control himself. The appreciation of beauty is a common pursuit of mankind.

"Miss Audrey's friends in town, have you two gone to ask?"

Sherlock on the side was calm, as if he was completely unaffected, and continued his inquiry.

"I asked, the night Audrey disappeared, I took a few people to visit them separately, and no one knew why... Oh, two girls who had a good relationship with Audrey said that he was half During monthly gatherings, there are often cases of daze... It seems that I have something on my mind, I was in a hurry to find my daughter, and I didn't ask in detail, do you want me to let them come over again?"

Memories are a good way to find out what’s missing. Although Audrey’s personal troubles seem to have nothing to do with her being kidnapped, there’s nothing wrong with paying attention to details, let alone asking someone for a few words.

"Does anyone on the farm know the route of Miss Audrey's morning walk? That's the path he took when he disappeared. If possible, before Miss Audrey's friend comes, I hope to take me there, especially the missing section, I have to take a closer look."

The questioning was over for the time being, so I got up and sorted my clothes and asked someone to lead the way.

"Old Hooper, you grew up watching Audrey, so you should be familiar with the way she walked in the morning?"

"Of course, I know Miss Audrey's walking route very well, two gentlemen, come with me."

Old Hooper was also very concerned about Audrey's disappearance. Just as Mr. Bartlett said, as an old farmer who watched Audrey grow up, he cared about this girl no less than others.

"To be exact, it's one. I'm going to investigate. Mr. Grant will visit the farm to investigate the disappearance of cattle and sheep. Come here."

He took a few steps outside, called Donald to his side and continued:

"You go and see the disappearance of cattle and sheep, they are all missing, maybe there will be some connection... Help me ask other people on the farm, such a large farm, there will never be only such a few people, Split up."

Since the Ratcatcher incident, Sherlock has acknowledged Donald's ability. The assistant he hired with a weekly salary of 1 gold pound is not just a person who can only translate special words. He has his own opinions on things and also Knowing the proportions, he deliberately handed the task of inquiring other people to Donald. The division of labor and cooperation can improve efficiency.

"no problem."

Yesterday's heavy rain washed away the traces on the ground, and the tracking powder in his hand is probably not useful, so it doesn't matter if we go together.

Sherlock was taken by old Hooper, while Donald specially designated Golem.

"Mr. Grant, put this on, there are some difficult roads in the farm."

Outside the door, Golem handed over a pair of leather boots and asked Donald to put them on the chair next to him. There were only basic paths in the farm paved with stones, and they were still scattered. There were no boots to go out for a walk and then return. The current low-top shoes Probably can't wear it.

Go to the place where the cattle and sheep disappeared first. This is Donald's request after he changed his boots. Although the farmer doesn't care about the disappearance of the cattle and sheep, and wants to find his daughter wholeheartedly, Donald always feels that the incident is a bit too coincidental.

Not missing early, not missing late, but at this juncture, the cattle and sheep are gone, and the daughter is gone.

"Is Mr. Bartley just farming? The decoration of the house is not like a simple farmer."

Any purposeful conversation needs a tone, and Donald chose to start with that splendid house on the farm to the house that was a little out of tune with the country vibe. As for why he chose Golem, as I said before, he was very warm, even to strangers. Still willing to let go and talk, rather than hide and tuck.

This is important.

In fact, there is another point, that is, as one of the three people sent by Mr. Bartley to entrust, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is undoubtedly a trusted person. In this case, it is very likely that he is an old employee who knows something. Certainly more than most people on the farm.

"Haha, of course, our boss was not a farmer before, but a respectable person in Preston City, a contractor of a large factory, a veritable capitalist, and a capitalist who treats employees very well."

Talking about his own boss, Golem had pride on his face.

"Then why did you come to the countryside? Could it be that there is a problem with the operation of the factory?"

"How is that possible! Mr. Grant, you didn't see how hot the factory was back then, but it was actually for Mrs. Bartlett."

When it comes to Mirena Bartley, Golem's expression has an indescribable meaning, some ambiguous and some regrettable, mixed together.

"Is there a conflict? I think they have a good relationship."

"Of course, you don't know, the factory that the boss gave up in order to pursue his wife... Well, it's a pity to say that, the boss may have become the boss of Preston City, but as a man, I want to It's normal to think, don't you think Madam is very beautiful?"

"That's why I asked, is there any necessary connection between being a big capitalist and pursuing Mrs. Bartley?"

According to common sense, isn't it easier to become a famous big capitalist and hold a beautiful woman? How come this seems to be a hindrance.

"How do I know, anyway, the boss sold the factory soon after he pursued success, and he didn't do business in the city, and he came to the country with the remaining funds. Our old employees, resigned, resigned, and changed jobs. I'm the only one left, with old Hooper and Aldridge following the boss."

Golem walked forward while talking, but Donald became more and more confused.
