"Who are you going to track down?" Hugh always felt that she owed Abner favor, so she was extremely eager to hear that the other party had something to help.

　　 "It's a gentleman who runs a clothing store. He behaves a bit weird recently..." Abner briefly introduced Grant's situation.

After listening very carefully, Xio thoughtfully said: "It really doesn't seem to be an affair. On the contrary, she may be doing something dangerous and don't want to involve her family." She is very experienced in this, every time she recites When Forsi went to Mangbo, he was so sneaky.

　　 Xiu’s guess is also in line with Abner’s judgment. He is so concerned about this matter. In addition to agreeing to Jane’s entrustment, he is actually afraid that the danger Mr. Grant may bring will threaten Jane’s safety.

　　 "I have accepted this request. Don't worry, I will investigate the matter tonight." Xio felt that tracking an ordinary person with her own ability and experience would not be a big problem.

"Thank you!" Abner thanked him, then took out a brass charm from his arms and handed it to Xio, saying, "You also have to be careful, try to just follow and observe, and don't put yourself in danger! In addition, this It's the'Language of Chaos' spell, and the opening spell is the ancient Hermesian'Blue Star'. It can mess up the brain of the person who hits the spell for a second or two. You can take it for self-defense." After sending this one, Ai Buena only had the last brass charm in his hand, but the effect of "Language of Chaos" was more suitable for surprises, and one was enough.

　　 Xiu nodded, and silently accepted the spell. She is no longer polite with Abner, just thinking that if she doesn't use it, she will return the spell to the other party another day.

　　 After having breakfast together, Abner and Hugh waved goodbye, and then took the subway to the Joe Wood district. His target was several public libraries in the district. As a ‘reader’, not only do you have to learn occult knowledge, but also the history, politics, and literature of ordinary people in this world, so that you can digest the potion more quickly.

"Quotations of Emperor Roselle", "Living Records of the Archon of Intis", "Secret History of Emperor Caesar"...Looking at the rows of "history" created by the predecessor of the "traverser" on the bookshelf, Abner was helpless Caressed his forehead. What should he say? Is it admiring that Roselle's coffee rank is high enough, even if more than a hundred years have passed, it is still hot?

　　 However, these are obviously also part of the "knowledge" of this world, so you still have to read it.

　　...

　　 Reading time always flies quickly. When Abner came out of the library, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. He bought a Dixie pie to fill his stomach hastily, and rushed to the teacher's home to prepare for the afternoon study.

　　 As soon as I walked to the door of the teacher's house, I saw Detective Isinger Stanton coming out of the house neatly dressed.

"You just came back. There is a case in Sivillas field that needs my assistance. Come and be my assistant. By the way, I will also guide you on how to investigate the case." Detective Isinger directs the servant to arrange the carriage while Instructed Abner.

　　 Abner was also very interested in this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, teacher."

　　 The two got into the carriage prepared by the servant and drove all the way to the police station in the Joe Wood district.

On the way, Detective Isinger told Abner about the cases they needed assistance: "I am not very clear about the specifics. I only heard that since last week there have been several cases of missing persons in the Jowood district. The sheriff led the investigation for a week, but found nothing."

　　 are so detailed and still don’t know the details? There must be your old informant in the police station, right? ! Abner's eyes jumped when he heard it, and he was convinced of the rumor that his teacher was'very influential' at Civilas Stadium.

　　 After arriving at the Joewood District Police Station, Sheriff Fascin, wearing a black and white uniform with three Vs on his epaulettes, personally received the two and let them into his own office.

　　 "Mr. Stanton, I'm going to trouble you again this time!" The sheriff with a short brown beard under his nose said respectfully to Detective Isinger.

　　 "You are welcome, are we old acquaintances?" Detective Isinger waved his hand with a smile, and then asked, "Did you bring the case file?"

　　 "Yes, they are all here!" Faxin replied, pointing to the paper bag that was nearly half a meter piled up on the table.

　　 "I will borrow your office to look at these files first, and then I will go to the possible scene to investigate. You first send someone to make arrangements." Detective Isinger swiftly ordered.

　　 "Okay, I'm very happy to assist you. I hope you can make the missing people go home safely as soon as possible." Inspector Fassing replied not unhappily.

　　 After the sheriff went out to arrange work, Isinger saw that his students were still a little stunned, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

　　 "As a sergeant, why would he obey you like this?" Abner asked in a puzzled way. Even if the relationship between Holmes and Scotland Yard is not so harmonious, right?

　　 "Heh, because I and his immediate superiors are also ‘old friends’!" Detective Isinger gave a chuckle, meaningfully.

Abner was stunned. Before he could continue to ask, he saw the teacher threw a stack of files at him, and listened to the other person saying: "Take down the age, gender, hobbies, missing time, and scope of activities of the missing persons in these files. And social circles are listed, and then see if you find anything."

　　 Seeing that the teacher was already at work, Abner hurriedly opened the dossiers, making notes and analyzing them at the same time.

　　 More than an hour later, Abner looked at the personal information listed in his notebook, quietly opened the pure white eyes, and then fell into contemplation. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, the 11 missing people shouldn't have been committed by a group of people!"

　　 "Oh? Did you see it?" Detective Isinger was a little surprised. He looked admiringly at the student's thinking and logical ability, but he didn't know that the other party had ‘cheated’. He smiled and smoked his pipe, and said: "You are right to speculate. Of these 11 cases, 6 are very weird. They are almost unrelated and similar, but the ones that are missing are the most complete. I think this was done by a group of people. Of the other five cases, three of them were supposed to be caused by human traffickers or people who served them, just like the previous Gnostic member who attacked Miss Hugh. These three cases were because I had previously notified the Steam Church that there were cultists. They pay more attention to the issue of human trafficking. This file has already implicitly stated that they have launched an investigation, and we don't have to worry about it anymore."

　　 "The last two cases are the clues more clear?" Abner had analyzed some eyebrows in the pure white eye state before, but because of the short time and lack of experience, after all, he was still no better than the old detective Isinger.

"Yes, and they are two separate cases." Detective Isinger stood up here, and then continued, "You will investigate the two cases on the spot... I'll check the 6 unclear cases. "

　　 "Okay, teacher!" Abner was also a little eager to try. He found that he liked the feeling of investigating and solving crimes, at least better than reading "Quotations from Emperor Roselle".

　　 Sheriff Faxin had already arranged for the police officers on duty to wait, although those officers were obviously not friendly to private investigators.

　　 Looking at the low-level police officer with only a V in his epaulette, Abner politely said: "Mr. Etris, please take me to Gravey Street."

　　 The police officer named Aitris curled his lips unhappily and said, "I hope you can find something, Mr. Detective!"

　　...

　　Ebner’s first destination is at Gravey pick up number 17. This is a standard garden house in which Mr. Heidi and his wife and their two children live.

　　The youngest son of Mr. Heidi, who is 15 years old this year, was missing on Wednesday, yesterday afternoon. According to Mr. Heidi’s eldest daughter, Miss Rachel who happened to be practicing piano at home at the time, said that Mr. Heidi’s friend called him outside the garden at that time, so Mr. Heidi went out and never returned. The maid hired by the family said that he hadn’t heard anyone calling him before Mr. Heidi went out, but she certainly had no one knocking on the door, because she stayed in the servant’s room not far from the door all afternoon. .

　　 Thinking back to the description in the dossier, Abner looked at this bungalow with an absolutely large garden area, and couldn't help but sighed, and said to Aitris beside him: "Will you not practice on the spot when you are investigating the case?"

　　 "What do you mean?" Aitris asked blankly.

　　 "Then your voice is loud?" Abner asked again.

　　 "Not small...but what does it have to do with the investigation?" Aitris was still very confused.

"Hehe, can you stand here and call Mr. Heidi, and let Miss Rachel, who lives in a room on the other side of the house and is still surrounded by beautiful music, hear his brother's name?" Abner gave one. Simple example. This is very difficult to do unless you are an extraordinary person.

　　 "Ah, you mean Miss Rachel is lying?!" Atriss finally realized, but he frowned, "But why did Miss Rachel do that? She has no motive..."

"It's not necessarily that she wants to do that. Maybe someone wants her to do it. For example, her brother, Mr. Heidi Little." Abner thought that the missing person was the most suspicious when reading the dossier. , Because he actually brought a lot of money and necessities with him before he disappeared. Do you know if you want it? After coming here, he was even more sure that he was ‘friend’ from nothing.

　　 "Mr. Heidi?! What do you mean? Could it be that he kidnapped herself?" Aitris felt that her head was not enough.

People of this era, the imagination is not enough... Thinking about this, Abner chuckled and said: "Why not? It is written in the file that Mr. Heidi is keen to collect beautiful dolls. Model. Recently, he has taken a fancy to the work of a master, but it is a pity that the pocket money is not enough!" It is the same as the future "moon" of a certain blood family.
