Demon Sage

v1 Chapter 95: disappearing figure

The matter still has to start with Jenny's death. The relationship between Jenny and Sirius can't be said to be very familiar, it can barely be regarded as a nodding acquaintance.

It's just that after the former jumped off the building and fell to her death, Jenny's "friends" chose to retreat one after another, as if they were worried about causing bad things. Instead, it was the nodding acquaintance of Siris, who had cultivated a sense of justice and responsibility since childhood. Take the initiative to help.

Good people don't get good rewards.

"Two days ago, I helped Sirius's family sort out her belongings, they were reluctant to report the matter, they thought it was a waste of time, they were believers, they thought suicide was guilty, and they gave up the life given by God, and they were not worthy of mercy. ...but I did find something, you see."

He took out a stack of open envelopes from his bag, and Donald took them and opened them and looked at a few.

The content is the same, roughly the content of the courtship letter, and there is no special description.

These letters alone can't explain anything. A college student is just when his heart is sprouting. He has seen too many more radical ways of courtship in his previous life, so he has been quite restrained in writing letters.

It's just that this last letter is a little strange.

"Already have intimate...contact?"

Donald was a little embarrassed. If his understanding was correct, it should be the contact in that area.

"Yes, I found bloodstains on Jenny's bed, I'm sure it's a...special case."

It seemed that she was ashamed to say those words, and Sirius replaced it with special, so Donald could understand it.

"Jenny lives outside the school?"

"No, I live in a dormitory, just a few bedrooms away from me."

Speaking of which, the panic that Siris had just calmed down reappeared.

"Is there no one to take care of your dormitory? Girls' dormitories should have female managers."

"Yes, Mrs. Martini said she had heard Jenny say that someone was following her, but Mrs. Martini insisted that this was just Jenny's personal imagination, and she did not see any special people entering the dormitory."

Sirius looked a little angry, she probably thought that the tragedy was caused by Mrs. Martine's negligence.

"Then have you asked those people Jenny knows? The classmates who usually get along with each other, they should know something."

"I asked, they admitted that Jenny is really wrong recently, often looking at somewhere for no reason and shouting, saying that someone has been watching him, and her classmates said that they have never seen anything wearing a black coat and a wide brim. The man in the top hat."

"So...what's your opinion?"

Taking a sip of his bitter coffee, Donald frowned, realizing that things were not easy...

"There is indeed someone following Jenny, I'm sure!"

Sirius was very sure.

"What's the reason?"

"Because I also received a letter and saw him when I went home last night!"

A new envelope was placed on the table, clearly written: Miss Sirius Lord received.

"Can I see it?"

Donald picked up the envelope.

"Of course, what it said was basically that Jenny didn't accept him, so he was looking for a new lover... Then he saw me who helped Jenny, and thought I was an honest and lovely girl who wanted to be with me. I'm a couple."

At other times, these words may sound like an implicit and romantic love letter from a young man, but at this time and place, no matter how you look at it, there is a haze of death notice in it.

"Have you considered telling your father about this?"

"I originally thought so, but my father was one of the sheriffs in charge of the girl's disappearance recently. He was under a lot of pressure, and I didn't want to burden him any more. I remember that the senior was working in a detective agency. I want to entrust you to help me find this guy, and I can pay the reward."

Holding the envelope, he stood in the study and saw his father staring at the report document, frowning, and the smoke lingering in the room. Siris really didn't want to disturb him anymore.

"1p, this commission only costs 1p. This is a discount only for you."

The kindness that Siris helped her to get the material for has not been repaid, so she just took this opportunity to repay.

"Thank you, senior, I..."

The voice came to an abrupt end, and Sirius suddenly turned her gaze to behind Donald.

Their location is by the cafe window.

"how?"

Donald was looking down at the contents of the letter, when he noticed that Sirius suddenly lost his voice, raised his head to look, and immediately turned to follow her line of sight, looking somewhere outside.

Only passers-by come and go, no black clothes and wide hats.

"He was just there?"

He turned his head and asked softly.

"Look at me under the street lamp outside. When you turned around suddenly, a passerby happened to pass by, and he disappeared."

It's exactly the same as what Jenny said to her classmates before. She can see it, but when the others turn their heads, they can't see anything.

"Don't be nervous, he's looking at you somewhere now, it's a good thing, at least it proves that he's nearby... Next time you find him again~lightnovelpub.net~ pretend not to see , since he wants to avoid my sight, he will inevitably appear behind me, I need you to give me a signal, pinching the left ear is the left rear, pinching the right ear is the right rear, pinching the nose is the right rear, can you do it? ?"

If you want to arrest someone, you must first find a way to see the other party, and then you can chase after you have a target.

"No problem, so am I here to wait?"

"Of course not, how to chase here, is there a suitable place to hang out in Preston? If you want to catch him, it's best to go outside, in a quiet place, you have to give him a chance to follow him, and he doesn't want to be in a crowded place. It will definitely appear."

There is another reason that Donald didn't say, that is, it is inconvenient for him to use his abilities in crowded places. Although the three spells are all transparent, the effects produced during the casting process can still be seen by others.

"What about the botanical garden? It's nearby, because there are fewer recreational facilities, and more trees and flowers. Usually only people who walk in the morning and evening go there. Today is a working day, so there shouldn't be many people inside."

Parks are also indispensable in urban planning in this era. Although people do not understand the principle, people still know that the air smells much fresher in places with many trees.

The function of the botanical garden is to allow some citizens to temporarily escape from the steel jungle in the city and experience the real natural jungle.

Siris asked for leave today on the grounds that she was ill. Donald is a homeless person. She can't go to the bookstore often, otherwise it's easy to get caught. After discussion, she decided to visit every three to five days.

"Ciris, are you sure no one has seen him except you and Jenny?"

On the way to the botanical garden, Donald suddenly realized that he should actually ask passers-by outside if they noticed the black figure.
