"Yesterday was fine, but one night, I was stunned? So what made you like this... I'm afraid I can't get more information, Mr. Bob, it's a pleasure to talk to you , goodbye, and hopefully your condition will improve over time."

Put the 2 shillings in the pocket back to its original position. If time permits, Donald may stay for a while longer, trying to find a way to try the other party again, but it's almost 5 o'clock, and Miss Audrey's friend in the town should arrive.

For the inquiries of this friend whose mental state is unknown, we can only go so far.

Leaving the door, I met Goren and the maid just downstairs.

"Mr. Grant, don't you ask?"

"Yes, Mr. Bob seems to be unwell. I don't want to irritate him, who is this?"

The bamboo basket in the maid's hand was exactly the same as the one in the previous room.

"Fran Xiazzo, she is Mrs. Bartley's exclusive maid, she has been with her for several years, she came to deliver chicken soup to Bob, that guy, I am afraid that he pretended to be sick just to see Miss Fran. A bastard!"

The maid had a ponytail with a few strands of blond hair hanging down her forehead. She couldn't say how beautiful her eyebrows were, but she was very attractive. Her skeleton was a little tall, especially her hips, which looked quite plump.

It's no wonder that Golem is so diligent. For these people, such a figure is simply perfect.

Golem gestured to Donald with a somewhat embarrassed look, of course he wanted to stay with Fran for a while.

"Don't worry, although the farm is big, most of it is grassland and farmland, and the style of the main house is different from other houses."

The beauty of adulthood, in Golem's grateful eyes, walked down the stairs, and accidentally saw the dirt dog just now. At this time, it was lying under the tree and turned to look at Donald.

did not bark.

"Isn't it nice..."

Turning around and looking at its owner's house, Golem and the maid were not in the corridor.

**

Audrey usually has a lot of friends in the town. Her naturally kind personality is indeed easy to gain friendship from others, but Sherlock is not just looking for friends. He asked Bartley to bring all Audrey from the town. The real friend who could talk privately before disappearing.

Outside the house, Donald met Sherlock who was returning with Old Hooper. The latter asked Old Hooper to leave first, and the two went to the wall to replace the original shoes.

It was dark outside, and people nearby could still be seen holding torches to light up the lampposts in the farm.

"Did you find anything?"

Taking advantage of the time to change shoes, the two exchanged the information they had found, and Sherlock spoke first.

"The disappearance of cattle and sheep should be caused by wild animals, and it is not an ordinary wild animal. The first disappearance was nearly two weeks ago, a lamb that was just born, and the most recent disappearance was two days ago, a three-month-old baby. Cow, Mr. Bob, who witnessed the monster, has a mental problem, it's strange to hear Goren say he was fine yesterday, other than that... Zil Bartley seemed to be a capitalist before because Pursue your wife and come to the country."

This is an exchange of information, so Donald didn't give some speculations of his own. It was a self-conscious judgment and couldn't be put into it, otherwise it would mislead Sherlock.

"Miss Audrey should have been kidnapped by an acquaintance."

Sherlock only said one sentence.

"Um?"

Is the progress so fast?

"The place where the paper was found was indeed on Miss Audrey's walk, but I found this on a nearby lawn, I checked with Mr. Hooper, it was Miss Audrey's, she liked to wear it This type of insect hairpin."

A colorful hair accessory in the shape of a butterfly, made of metal, shows the craftsman's craftsmanship.

"Where did you find it...why didn't the people from the Ranffindor farm find it before?"

A dozen people searched back and forth for something they couldn't find. Sherlock stayed there for no more than 20 minutes, except for the time on the road, and found the headgear left by Audrey. Is this a wonderful coincidence?

No, all accidents have inevitable factors in them.

Wouldn't the farm staff, or Zil Bartley himself, look more carefully than Sherlock?

Why can't they see it!

"Haha, you're a smart guy, I knew you could see it, there's never been such a coincidence... coincidence, I went that way, I walked on the lawn, I picked up a dozen people rugs There is only one reason for what I couldn't find by searching for something. Someone, someone who knew I was going there, put down this headdress ahead of time. He wanted me to see this little butterfly, so why did he want me to see this little butterfly? A little butterfly?"

Sherlock changed his shoes, stomped on the ground left and right, regardless of Donald, and walked straight into the house.

"Because he wants you to know the meaning of letting go of the butterfly itself?"

The person who put down the headgear may be trying to tell them the fact through the jewelry that someone knows their actions and knows Audrey's line of action well.

On the premise that the other party knows the exact route, it will naturally make people think that the person who kidnapped Audrey must be someone who is familiar with her.

In other words, it is very likely that they are people on the farm.

So why don't people who put down their headgear choose to come forward and express their thoughts directly, but in this hidden way.

What is he worried about?

"Sneakers are better. If I can design shoes, I will definitely make a lot of money."

Turning around in his head, he finally returned to his shoes. Donald said that he had a boss, and he was an assistant who was in charge of inquiring about news and looking out for the wind, so he wasted his brain on what to do.

He didn't care about Sherlock's failure to wait for him. Donald was busy putting leather shoes on his feet. He didn't like this kind of hard-soled shoes very much. Choose from comfortably...

Undoubtedly the latter.

The sky was getting dark quickly, and the dark clouds seemed to have a tendency to push down again.

There were a lot of people sitting in the living room, except for the Bartley couple who came in the afternoon, as well as the housekeeper and the maid, they were five young girls. When he entered the door, he happened to see Sherlock taking one of them and sitting by the wall of the living room. The two large windows were open next to them, and the wind was blowing in from outside, covering the sound of their conversation.

The girls stared at Sherlock, not because of his detective status, but because of his very attractive appearance.

A story between a beautiful girl and a handsome and mysterious detective uncle.

Note that being handsome comes first.

When Donald walked into the living room, the four girls looked back and stayed on him.

To be honest, the current Donald is absolutely handsome, although he doesn't have the habit of grooming himself as a gentleman, he just can't stand young and has a good foundation, plus the calm and peaceful temperament brought to him by the clock meditation method, The lethality is also not small.

It's just that he soon discovered that the eyes of these girls always went back and forth between him and Sherlock.

The beautiful young man and the uncle detective, the things they make up in their brains are estimated to be able to write a "literary masterpiece".

After thinking about it, the work has to continue, and there are two extra chairs on the other side of the living room, which should be prepared for his inquiry.

"Does Mr. Grant live in Preston? With Detective Swift? Are you friends?"

Just after sitting down and introducing himself, Donald didn't even ask, but this Miss Kyle couldn't help it. They didn't know about Audrey's disappearance. The Bartleys invited them to a party in the name of a dinner party. , I thought Sherlock and Donald were both here to play.

"I ask, you answer, it's my working time now. If Miss Kyle wants to know some private matters, she has to come to me later."

Blinking frivolously, the girl nodded quickly.

"How is your relationship with Miss Audrey?"

Still have to start with the most basic questions...

The two divided the work, and the five girls didn't spend much time. The questioning was over after an hour. The five girls were invited to the restaurant to have dinner with the Bartleys, and Donald and Sherlock went to the restaurant together. Miss Lan led them upstairs to Audrey's room. Their meal time might be delayed.

The three-storey house has a large internal area. The first floor is only used as a venue for parties. It is guaranteed to be spacious enough~lightnovelpub.net~ The layout of the second floor is roughly Japanese, and the middle is to the third floor. The stairs, as for the rooms on the second floor, are mostly private activity rooms, including the family dining room, study, and small living room for entertaining close guests. This is where the Bartley family spends their daily lives.

The third floor is where the Bartley family really rests. It is the most private. Even the servants are only allowed to go up in private.

The corridor is paved with red carpets, and there are various portraits hanging next to it. There are not many rooms on the third floor. There are only five in total. One is the Bartley couple, one belongs to Audrey, and the other three are specially prepared for relatives and good friends. For example, the two of Donald could not live, and they were arranged on the second floor.

"This is Miss Audrey's room. From the day she disappeared, no one except the master and his wife will be allowed to enter here. Master Bartley believes that the scene must be protected."

In the end, he was a former capitalist, and Bartley was someone who had seen the world and had his own judgment.

"Be wise, this will help us a lot."

Sherlock put on white gloves and handed Donald a pair. On the one hand, it was to show respect for Miss Audrey, so as not to cause embarrassment when touching some private objects. On the other hand, if the white gloves rubbed against some strange things , which can be compared to facilitate the distinction.

Open the door, turn on the light.

"Elegant decoration, classical-style furniture, it seems that Miss Audrey is a girl with a literary atmosphere, so I have to ask you to leave the room temporarily. It's not good for strange men and women to appear here together."

God knows what is the connection between the classical style and the fact that men and women cannot enter the room together. The maid Fran Xiazzo doesn't know, and Sherlock doesn't know either.

He just wanted to find a reason to put people away.
