Deep Sea Embers Chapter 366: 1 case
Annie left happily, without seeming to suspect anything—after all, she was just a child.
The old guard stood at the gate of the cemetery for a long time, looking at the direction Anne was leaving. It took some time before he realized it all of a sudden, and then touched his breast pocket with trembling fingers, and took out a tube of medicine from it. Pour into mouth.
He feels better.
“This matter is too evil…..I have to report to the cathedral immediately…God of Death…This matter is too evil…”
Mumbling, the old man turned around and walked quickly towards the direction of the guard’s hut. After he entered the room, he closed the door and went straight to the side of the bed to look at an old and ordinary-looking desk—open a cover on the desk After the board, what is exposed below are delicate pipes and valves, as well as buttons and handles.
Several metal capsules lie quietly in the grid next to the pipe.
The old man took out the letterhead from the desk drawer, sat down, picked up the pen beside him, and began to quickly write a report, then rolled up the report and stuffed it into the metal capsule compartment, then opened the pipe in the dark compartment of the desk, and put the capsule The bin is placed into the groove.
“May Bartok bless this pipeline and the rushing airflow within it… may the valve operate smoothly, and will not freeze, depressurize or burst—may the differential machine in the sorting and delivery center be safe.”
The old man prayed briefly, then stretched out his hand and pressed a button next to the pressure pipe, and only after the green light in the dark compartment turned on did he pull the handle next to the button.
A strange grunting sound came from the depths of the pipe, which sounded like the movement of the airflow being blocked, but soon the sound disappeared, the hiss of the normal operation of the pressure pipe and the rapid sliding of the capsule device The sound followed.
The old man glanced at the pipe with some concern, and muttered: “…It’s not because the letter mentioned the existence of the superior, which affected the machine….”
After a while, the two green lights representing the delivery of the “Express Mail” to the superior sorting center came on, and the old guard was finally relieved and closed the cover of the dark compartment.
Alice was walking down the street with a big paper bag in her arms, looking curiously at the surrounding buildings, observing this city which was completely different from Prand, and observing the lives of the people in this city.
In the paper bag were the things she had just bought from the corner store—vegetables, eggs, and frozen hard butter and two pieces of lamb for today’s lunch.
Alice can already go shopping independently, although she is not very proficient, and occasionally makes a mistake in the amount of change, but she has been working hard to learn all this – improving every day, although the progress is not much.
She lowered her head slightly, holding the paper bag with one hand, and took out a note from the bag with the other hand, confirming the contents of the note.
There are some letters written in crooked handwriting on it, which is today’s shopping list, part of which is the words she can read and write, and the other part is replaced by simple pictures-this list is written by herself, Fei It took a lot of effort.
Make your own daily menu, plan the ingredients you need to buy, write your own shopping list, go to the store to buy things yourself-try to figure out the amount of change, and then try to return home on time, if you can do it , the captain will be very happy.
Alice will be very happy too.
Confirming that the list and the contents of the paper bag are all right, Miss Puppet put away the note in satisfaction, and continued to walk towards the temporary residence on Oak Street.
But just in the middle of the walk, a commotion from the corner of the street suddenly caught her attention.
She looked up to the direction where the sound came from, and saw about a dozen people gathered beside a rather old-looking residential building. They were chatting about something, and occasionally heard words like “that woman is crazy”, “poor man”, “the church is alarmed”.
Alice couldn’t help but slowed down, getting slower and slower, and finally stopped, looking in that direction with great hesitation.
It’s… lively, the captain said don’t just join in the fun, because if your head falls off in a crowded place
, the excitement is too great.
But it looks really interesting over there, and what they’re discussing… seems like something the captain would be interested in.
Alice was tangled up, and in the entanglement moved her steps towards that side, and then moved again.
“I’m going to check the situation…..I’m helping the captain to collect information…This is not just to join in the fun, but to join in the fun…”
Alice put all her wits into convincing herself, and she succeeded.
Holding her head with one hand and holding the paper bag in the other, Miss Doll quickly joined the crowd and looked up at the residential building in front of her with them.
Different from the two-story building that the captain temporarily rented, the building in front of him looks older and more cramped. The narrow windows and external gas pipes appear crowded and chaotic, as if there are many independent buildings. The residents are gathered in this building.
The discussion among the people around was messed up. Alice didn’t understand what was going on after listening for a long time, so she carefully patted the shoulder of the person next to her and asked politely: “Excuse me… what happened here Is something wrong?”
The people next to him were taken aback, but after seeing that it was only a young girl wearing a veil who made the noise, he relaxed, raised his head and pointed to it: “A woman is crazy, she insists on talking about herself He killed his own husband, and wanted to strangle his own child…First, the magistrate was alarmed, and now even the people from the church have arrived, I think this is not a small matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person next to him said, “It is said that even the people from the church have arrived… Could it be something bad?”
“…I hope nothing serious happens,” a woman muttered among the crowd, “I live downstairs from them, if something happens, we have nowhere to go…”
“No matter what happens, it’s better to go to the church today and ask the priest to do an exorcism. It’s always good to be careful.”
The surrounding crowd started discussing again, and soon reached a field that Alice didn’t understand. She was a little distracted in this messy discussion, and her eyes slowly drifted to mid-air.
Light and fluffy threads floated in her field of vision, and more thin threads extended from nearby residential buildings, fluttering in the air, like hair swaying in the wind, quietly Quietly stirring the sky.
Alice blinked suddenly.
She suddenly noticed that some of the lines floating above the city-state were particularly illusory, transparent, and even flickering like a badly connected electric light.
There is a faint musty smell in the old residential building, and there is a slight leak in the old piping system, and the sound of dripping water can be heard from time to time. The crowd gathered in the living room, making the room that was not spacious enough even more cramped.
A long-haired woman with disheveled hair was nestled in the corner of the sofa, her head was lowered as if frightened, and she muttered vague sentences occasionally.
There are two black-clothed guards standing beside, guarding this mad woman.
The guards are checking the remaining clues in the house, and they have been busy here for two hours.
At this moment a gust of gray wind blew through the corridor, passed through the open door, and swirled into the living room.
The guards all stopped their work to salute the whirlwind of gray and white.
The figure of Agatha stepped out of the vortex, her eyes swept across the room.
“What’s the situation now?” She raised her head and looked at the highest-level guard on the scene.
The captain of the guard is a neat woman with short black hair that reaches the ears. Faced with the gatekeeper’s question, she immediately stepped forward: “We collected a small amount of ‘mud, sample’ on the floor of the alliance washing room , confirmed to be consistent with those samples collected before.”
“Elements…” Agatha said softly, then frowned, “A small sample? How many? There are only so many?”
“About the amount of a test tube,” the female captain with short hair raised her hand and gestured, “That’s all the samples – we have searched the entire building, only the ones from the laundry room
A bit remains on the ground. “
Agatha fell silent, then turned to look at the long-haired woman curled up in the corner of the sofa.
“She is the person involved?”
“Yes~ IndoMTL.com~ The team leader nodded, “She rents here, we have investigated it, her background is clean, she has no previous criminal record, and she is an agent accountant of a nearby firm. In addition, her The husband used to work in the Boiling Gold Mine—according to the data, he died in a mine accident three years ago.”
Boiling Gold Mine. Mine Disaster…
Perhaps influenced by recent events, Agatha instinctively noticed these words, and then she collected herself before coming to the side of the woman who was still muttering.
“Ma’am—I am the gatekeeper of the city-state, you are safe now,” Agatha said in a calm voice, quietly using the power to calm the spirit, “tell me, what happened?”
The long-haired woman on the sofa stopped trembling suddenly when she heard the voice, and then mumbled something vaguely, and then she suddenly raised her head.
A pair of eyes still lingering with fear and madness stared at Agatha.
“He’s back, he’s back…I killed him, I killed that monster…in the bathroom! It melted in the bathroom!”
