Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 36 Two books, one ear

Eight o'clock in the morning, 37 Champagne Street.

Roy took out four pennies, handed them to the driver, and got out of the car.

He walked to the door and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a while, the door did not open, but he noticed the window on the side. The curtains were opened at a corner, and a woman was carefully observing the outside from inside.

After seeing Roy, she quietly shrank back.

"Mrs. Marlene, I am the inspector responsible for investigating the factory fire. Could you please open the door?"

Roy shouted.

After a while, subtle footsteps came from inside, and then the woman opened the door and quickly pulled him into the room.

Roy looked at her.

The woman's appearance was not bad, but she looked haggard, which made me feel pity for her.

Inside the house, a delicate and beautiful girl cautiously poked her head in, but was frightened back into the room by the woman's glare.

Mrs. Marlene apologized: "I'm sorry, I thought it was someone from another gang."

"I'm Inspector Roy of this area."

Roy took out his ID——

This is the certificate he gets after becoming a formal member, so he doesn't have to be so troublesome when negotiating with others.

The other party glanced at it, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Roy, if you need anything, I will definitely cooperate."

"Your husband is an important member of the money-splitting party. I want his personal belongings, preferably the things he wore in the days before the incident."

Roy said.

The things at the scene were either destroyed, or it was impossible to identify who belonged to them. Finding things from the scene for divination was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

This morning, he visited several homes of core members of the gold-splitting party and tried many things, but found nothing.

Mrs. Marlene's husband is also an important member of the gold-splitting party.

Mrs. Marlene turned and walked up.

Roy followed and found that they had packed everything and looked like they were leaving Tingen.

"Are you going?"

"We have been followed a lot when we walk on the street recently, and there are signs of burglaries at home. Hey, the Pojin Gang has offended a lot of people in the past, and now they are all looking for us when something goes wrong."

Lady Marlene complained.

Tracked?
Roy paused for a second, then didn't worry and followed the steps ahead.

She moves quickly.

He quickly picked up a not too big bag, put it in front of Roy, and then leaned over to pack it up: "Mr. Roy, this bag is full of his more important and personal things. I will take some of the less important ones." Throw it away.”

"Do you have anything from the days before the accident?"

Roy took a look.

The bag was not big, but it was full of clothes, some jewelry, and watches. There was no sign of spirituality or extraordinary ability.

This needs to be tried one by one, who knows when.

Mrs. Marlene thought for a moment and said, "There was a watch that was smashed to pieces three days before the accident."

She rummaged through her bag and found a watch. The screen was smashed to pieces, and the hands and gears fell out. But it was a gold-rimmed silver watch and was valuable, so she kept it.

"Where did you fall?"

"Well, I can't tell for sure, but it should be somewhere on Champagne Street, because he drank at the Black Iron Bar on Champagne Street that day and walked back along the street."

Black Iron Bar?

Isn't this their bar?

Roy thought.

"Are there any other objects?"

"Nothing."

Lady Marlene shook her head.

The range of personal belongings in the past few days is too small, not to mention that some of them have been thrown away.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, how many days do you need it?"

"Let me take a look and return it to you later."

Roy knew that the other party was in a hurry to leave and didn't want to stay in Tingen any longer or take up more time, so he took the watch and left.

"Can I borrow the bathroom?"

"can."

Marlene thought about it for a second, and finally agreed.

She was probably worried about losing her bag.

Roy smiled and saluted, then walked to the bathroom.

When he got to the bathroom, he held the silver watch and thought to himself over and over again.

"The scene of it being broken." Soon, Roy cleared his mind, gathered his spirituality, and fell into a deep sleep.

The scene changes to night, and a man staggers down the street, looking drunk.

Suddenly, he saw a package. When he bent down to pick it up, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

He slapped his left hand on the wall, and for a moment, debris flew everywhere.

He picked up the package, which contained two books and an ear-like object, which looked very mysterious.

The screen ends here.

Roy's eyebrows jumped.

ear.

two books.

So they were being followed. It was probably because the Aurora Society wanted to get back two books and an ear, but they weren't sure if they were here, so they were following and investigating.

Roy thought for a while and took out the pendant.

"The people who are following and investigating Mrs. Marlene are members of the Aurora Society."

Seven times in a row, turning clockwise.

It's the Aurora Society.

"There are dangers in living in this house."

"..."

The pendant slowly rotates counterclockwise.

negative.

There is no danger in living here.

The people from the Aurora Society were definitely not here, so they searched in other places.

He walked out of the bathroom. Mrs. Marlene stood at the door, staring at the watch in Roy's hand.

Roy thought for a while and said: "If you sell this watch, it will only cost you a few sulers at most. How about I give you 10 sulers?"

"Okay, of course!"

Mrs. Marlene nodded quickly.

Roy nodded and asked again: "Did he bring a package when he came back that day?"

"Yes, he has a package in his hand and he doesn't show it to me."

Mrs. Marlene couldn't help complaining.

"Didn't you see it during this cleaning?"

"No."

The woman shook her head.

"thank you, I know now."

Royce passed 10 sulers.

Then, he smiled and said: "In addition, I also know a little bit about divination. I just calculated it for you. There should be no danger if you continue to live here. I will also ask people to strengthen the surrounding defense. If you just want to do it out of uneasiness, If you move, you might as well continue to live there. Of course, the choice is up to you, madam."

"This!"

Mrs. Marlene was surprised and happy, wiping her hands on her clothes uneasily, then her face turned slightly red, "Sir, why don't you stay for lunch, or -"

"No, it is the responsibility of our police department to protect everyone's safety."

Roy smiled slightly, put away his silver watch and walked downstairs.

Mrs. Marlene sent him downstairs. When she got to the door, seeing that Roy was really going to leave, she whispered: "Mr. Roy, you are such a good man."

nice guy?

Roy looked stunned, waved his hands and left silently.

He sat in the carriage, his mind returning from Mrs. Marlene to the silver watch, two books, and ears.

The content displayed by the silver watch is very informative.

The ear should be the extraordinary characteristic of the listener.

The two books may record doctrines and ritual magic, and the rituals held secretly by the gold-popping party may have been learned from those two books.

Now there is a problem.

What about books and extraordinary properties?

The Aurora Society obviously didn't get it, otherwise they wouldn't be rummaging through the boxes at Marlene's house.

"I don't care whether those two books are copied or not. I am definitely no match for the Aurora Society. This matter must be reported to the church and find them with the help of the power of the Heart of Machinery."

Those three things are a scourge.

They have the power to confuse people's hearts, and people are unconsciously affected by them, which eventually leads to tragedy. There are also various coincidences in their appearance, and they must be deliberately thrown out by someone with a heart.

Roy closed his eyes and meditated, seizing the time to regain his spirituality.
