Demon Sage

“Donald, meet here at 9 o’clock tomorrow, don’t use the office, this is a new assignment… You are in a strange state today, didn’t sleep well last night?”

Before leaving, Sherlock handed over a photo with the name of a certain street and cafe.

“Well, something happened last night… I just finished translating all the text today, aren’t you going to study it?”

Donald has been hired until now In the past two weeks, even if he deliberately delayed the translation time, all the content was translated today.

Although the order of the words is chaotic, Donald is generally able to determine that Sherlock has an innate talent formula in his hands. In the past few days, he has been preparing various materials, utensils, and everyone is a little dazzled. .

Compared to Donald’s state of no money and no way out, Sherlock is obviously more skilled in the selection of materials.

So after the translation today, Donald thought he must spend his time completing the final steps, didn’t expect to accept a new commission.

“It was originally planned, but this commission was special. A noble lady asked us to check on his husband. The letter said that someone was outside, you know.”

From his pocket he took an unsigned letter that read: Detective Swift.

“This… is very special?”

It is normal for nobles to have women outside. As long as nobles in Preston are At a certain age, almost all of them participate in various “party”. This is a social trend. The main content of the lace tabloids is this aspect. If it is special, Donald really didn’t see it.

“It’s not that he is looking for a special woman outside, but the nobleman himself is very special. It was reported in the strange secret newspaper that one of the recent disappearance cases of young girls has a close relationship with him, um… ….it should be said to be one-sided, this noble gentleman is fiercely pursuing Miss Madeleine Kirk, you should know that the man in the crush will pay attention to all things of the other party, no matter how big or small.”

Sherlock has been obsessed with the girl’s disappearance. The news he disclosed to Marcelo Blaise has recently become popular. As a thank you, he sent a whole bag of materials.

Most of them are a summary of the girl’s disappearance from beginning to end. Now it’s all piled up on the table, and Donald needs to clean up later.

“Doesn’t that noble have a wife, it is unreasonable to pursue Miss Madeleine Kirk, bigamy is illegal, oh…he is a noble, not afraid, but his wife can Can you bear it?”

Although the concept of sex in this era is quite open, it is still quite conservative in terms of monogamy. Men can have lover outside, and although women care, they will often choose to remain silent. , after all, it is still a patriarchal society.

But if one day the man brings the lover home, it will be different, no easy-going lady can tolerate this kind of behavior, because it means that the man is determined to divorce her and remarry, this Mr. Noble pursues other girls so enthusiastically that he is well known, which is undoubtedly what he conveys.

“How can I bear it? The medical smell of fire can be smelled between the lines in this letter, that’s why she came to us. The life of this noble gentleman is not uncomfortable recently, all we have to do is to take pictures A few photos, they should be special enough, enough… smashing, they can be used for property distribution in the future, the lady’s asking price is 10 gold pounds, and if the photos are satisfactory, they will be added.”

Sherlock is excited.

Donald left the office and waited at the café he had agreed to with Marcelo Blaise yesterday.

subconsciously remembered what happened in the early morning.

Thinking has gradually become his habit.

The deal with Infinita doesn’t give him a sense of security, and the chronic poison in his body becomes a new ticking time bomb.

This is a deal that I had to agree to in a desperate situation, in order to keep some memories, so as not to be forced to forget them and become a puppet at the mercy of others.

Give the inheritance to them in exchange for their own lives?

No covenant, no witnesses, how can Donald believe.

This transaction is unfair from the very beginning, Donald is at an absolute disadvantage, there is no guarantee, life and death are between the other party’s thoughts, this feeling is very uncomfortable, just like on the street back then Seeing Ronan’s flesh and blood breaking down was helpless.

He wanted to find a way to change this situation, at least he couldn’t be eaten by Infinita so much, and the poison in his body had to find a way to get rid of it.

To find a way out…that cup of tea last night!

This is the conclusion that Donald came to after thinking for a while. The effect of the Dream Inquiry Potion is not something he can solve now. Before going to bed, he drank two kinds of liquids, tea, and meditation-enhancing potion.

He clearly remembered his sudden sobriety after drinking the tea.

Kann Antoine gave him no ordinary tea.

This man is the key!

“Mr. Grant…Mr. Grant?”

Donald snapped back to his senses, Marcelo Blaise arrived.

“Sorry, I’ve been in a daze for a while. Today’s night is good.”

Looking at the dark night outside, Donald regretted his words and pinched his nose in embarrassment. .

The night in the city of this era is not a good word.

“It’s me who should apologize. There was an urgent matter in the newspaper office and I was working overtime, so I was a step late.”

Marcelo put a folder on the table, and he The proposed appointment time, being late, no matter what the reason is, can’t change the fact that it is rude.

“What’s the matter? Can you share it with me? I’m a detective’s assistant, and I’m still curious about some things.”

Sipping his bitter coffee, Donald has recently begun to like it on this bitter taste.

My heart is bitter, fight poison with poison.

“What else could it be, the case of the disappearance of a girl, ah… Now I have to change my name. In the past 20 years, Puston has been the worst serial case of the disappearance of a girl, today. Two more victims appeared at night. After the family reported to the police, the news immediately spread, and the police station couldn’t block the news at all.”

It has been the third week since the first disappearance case. , not only did not find any girl, not even a corpse was found. Now all the girls in Preston are in danger, and there are even a large number of female students in the university who have asked for leave, which is enough to prove that this incident caused panic.

“The case hasn’t been solved yet, so the murderer’s tactics are very good, right?”

“The murderer’s target selection has no characteristics, he is tall, short, fat and thin, and there are all kinds of appearances. Regularly committing crimes, this is the most difficult case to solve, because even the murderer doesn’t know who he is going to kidnap next, and the targets are all randomly selected!”

As another sense of direct contact with the case As a character, Marcelo’s lips and teeth are also cold when he talks about the situation of the girl’s disappearance.

Is it really random?

For serial disappearances of this type, Donald believes there should be a pattern.
