The Whispering Verses Chapter 2439: Ferringa
Chapter 2440 Ferlinga
The information about the appearance of the sacrificial site is very important. Mr. Bernhardt continued to add:
"After all, they are not the core members of the [Dragon Feast Cult], so they don’t know much about the function of the sacrificial site itself. But at least they can be sure that the arrival of the **** will not happen in an instant. Even if the ceremony starts, it needs The time is more than twenty minutes. ”
This is very reasonable. The more powerful the gods are, the more difficult it is for them to come to the material world. Therefore, every god-calling ceremony of the Zhengshen Church is very complicated.
"Also, they also said that during the divine descending ceremony, the [Dragon Feast Cult] will create large-scale chaos in the entire Yuewan area. They don't know the specific method, but they said that this time, the [Blood Spirit School] ], [Truth Society], [Tyranny Club], [Light Worshipers Training Association] and some overseas illegal ring warlock groups will participate."
"What a big move."
Xia De sighed:
"Did you mention anything about evil things?"
Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Albert both shook their heads, and the former said:
"That's all they know. However, they know about some strongholds of the [Dragon Feast Order] in the city and outside the city. I plan to inform the church through the black market on the one hand, and on the other hand, I will lead people to eliminate them myself. Before the final battle, there is still something to do.”
Herr Bernhard left quickly, as he might not have a free day all Saturday. But before leaving, he slipped a note to Shade. Shade guessed that he had prepared the materials to assist the vampire duke in his "divine descending ritual."
So only Shade and the coroner were left in the autopsy room. They looked at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.
Xia De did want to ask something, but in the end he just said:
"We'll look for playing cards later. It shouldn't take too long, right?"
"One morning at most."
Ptolemy Albert assured, and when Shade didn’t ask any other questions, he pointed to the door:
"Mr. Watson, let's go,"
This time the two of them acted together not only to find cards, but the real purpose was to help Mr. Albert solve a difficult matter. Shade didn't know what the specific incident was, but when the two left the autopsy room, Mr. Albert roughly described the cause of the incident:
“I have many good friends locally, especially in Xiacheng District. When these friends encounter problems, they sometimes come to me to solve them. About the beginning of this year, one of my friends welcomed her and came to seek refuge with her. Of course, the two are now married.
That friend is the old Mrs. Fox who lives in Silver Spoon Alley in Lower City. Her husband has passed away long ago and she now lives alone. She is also very happy that her nephew and his wife can live with her. ”
"That sounds good."
"Yes, but about a week ago, Mrs. Fox's nephew disappeared with his wife. She found me and my friends through channels, but after preliminary investigation, she only knew that the young couple He was involved in the incident involving three precious Rhodes cards that stirred up trouble in the city.
Although ring warlocks each have different special abilities, my friends and I are not particularly good at investigating and searching. Armand said you are a very good detective, so I came to you for help. ”
Mr. Albert, who was wearing a brown burqa, said that although it was urgent to find the missing persons, he must have other purposes for dragging Shade along to look for people at such a time before the decisive battle.
"Are there any clues so far?"
For the time being, Shade only thought that he was looking for someone, and coincidentally, he was indeed good at this.
"Go to Mrs. Fox's house first and take a look. Maybe you can find things we didn't notice."
"Okay, oh, by the way, the name of the missing person is"
"You can ask Mrs. Fox directly later. I only know that the couple came from the North, and their surname is 'Ferringa'. They have a lot of savings, and now Mr. Feringa is working in a local steam shop She works as a maintenance worker in a factory, and Mrs. Feringa is a tutor for nobles, not a live-in one, and she teaches more than one person."
Xia De nodded:
"Felinga, a very familiar surname from the North."
Silver Spoon Alley is not far from Spider Alley, so the two of them walked there in the fog. Old Mrs. Fox lived in the three-story building at the entrance of the alley. She lived on the first floor and rented the second floor to her nephew and his wife at a low price. The loft-style third floor was used to store sundries.
Mr. Albert climbed up the steps and knocked on the door, and then a middle-aged woman opened the door. Seeing that it was Mr. Albert, the fat woman smiled and said:
"Mr. Albert, are you here? Mrs. Fox and I have just finished breakfast. Just now we were asking when you and the detective you had found would come."
After speaking, he looked at Sha De again, the smile on his face became more obvious:
"Look at this handsome young man, Mr. Albert, is he married? I have a niece who is now studying painting at the Moon Bay Art Institute. The painting "The Nightmare of Charles Dunwin" she painted was also reviewed this year. It’s a prize.”
Mr. Albert smiled gently:
"Good morning, Mrs. Fogelman. I'm so sorry, but the detective has a fiancée."
"That's really a pity."
The Fat Lady introduced herself to Shade again:
"I came to take care of Mrs. Fox temporarily. She was living alone after her nephew disappeared. We were very worried, so everyone took turns to take care of her."
As he said that, he led the two people into the door. Shade asked Mr. Albert softly:
"Are they neighbors?"
"No, they are friends in the [Eternal Light] mutual aid group. People in the group are organized by priests and volunteer to help Mrs. Fox."
Mr. Albert responded, and Shade nodded clearly.
Old Mrs. Fox is an old woman who looks to be in her sixties or seventies, but is still in good spirits. She had almost no clues about the disappearance of her nephew and his wife. She only said that a week ago on Wednesday, the Ferringa couple went out and never came back.
The old lady’s ears were not very good, so she couldn’t tell if she had heard any strange sounds before.
After receiving permission, Shade and Mr. Albert used keys to open the door on the second floor and conduct a search. Mr. Albert has actually been here once, and the good news is that at least no body was found in the house.
"It's weird."
After turning around for a while, Shade said:
"Why are there no photos of the newlyweds here?"
Seeing the coroner raise his eyebrows, Shade further explained:
"The couple moved in at the beginning of the year, but now it is the flower month of August, and summer is coming to an end. For such a long time, there is not a single picture of them in the bedroom and study room on the second floor. Photos? Also, isn’t there a tradition of taking wedding photos in the Yuewan area?”
Mr. Albert nodded seriously:
"There is a wedding photo tradition. Yes, something is wrong, so, is there something wrong with that couple?"
"Did you search this place carefully last time?"
Shade asked again, Mr. Albert shook his head:
"Last time I just took a look. Others were not embarrassed to search other people's houses. They just made sure there was no blood or suspicious smell and left. Oh, and there were no traces of extraordinary power."
"So this place is still the same as it was before the Feringas disappeared?"
"Yes."
The two of them are in the study at this time. The decoration of the study in this dilapidated house is actually not very good. Fortunately, the Ferlingas seem to be the kind of people who are very good at tidying up the house. The walls are clean and tidy, and the floor is clean although not spotless. Decorative landscape paintings are hung on the walls. The beige curtains that seem to have been installed recently are more avant-garde than the shabby indoor furniture.
“It’s very warm and feels like home.”
Shad said softly, looking at the stack of newspapers on the desk. The upward side of the newspaper just showed Margaret's photo. This is the Tatton River Morning News, the third-largest regional newspaper in the Moon Bay area.
Shade scrolled down a few more pages, and Mr. Albert asked:
"Is there something wrong with these newspapers?"
"The dates are not consecutive, but almost every one contains news about Princess Margaret."
"When the princess visits Yuewan, it is normal for local newspapers to continue to report on her highness."
"Yes, normally we go to the bedroom."
The bedroom was larger than the study. Shade did not go through the table and bedside table, but opened the closet.
Mr. Albert wanted to stop it, but Shade had already started to turn over it:
"Isn't it the bathroom?"
Hurrying to the bathroom again, Shade's eyes lit up when he saw the towels stacked on the basin shelf. He bent over and carefully opened the stacked towels, already having a guess in his mind:
"Is there such a thing?"
"I have read "Hamilton Detective Stories". Although the autopsy sequence in it is not particularly realistic, at least the story is interesting. Mr. Watson, do you like telling riddles like the detective in it?"
The coroner with messy black hair asked again. Shade shook his head and held up the towel:
"The towel is not important, but the way the towels are stacked is very strange. I just went to see the closet and the clothes were stacked in a normal way. I thought I guessed wrong. But she changed the previous one Due to my habit of folding clothes, I still neglected the issue of towels.”
Shad put the towel on the shelf:
"Only maids of nobles would stack towels like this because they have to consider the convenience of retrieving them for next use and the preservation of those expensive towels. According to my knowledge of maids, according to my knowledge of the maid industry I am afraid that the hostess of this family was a maid of a great noble. Most people may not notice such details, and even elite agents may not understand the training manual of royal maids."
"Royal family?"
Mr. Albert hesitated and said:
"This matter is more complicated than I thought. I'm calling you for help just to let you know that we won't actually get into big trouble, right?"
"Probably not, I think I may have met someone I know."
