"Sir, the flower girl you mentioned is very special. Although humans in the sixth era regard her as a secret keeper, and humans in the fifth era do not think she is high-risk, but if we really want to fight, we The heyday of the relic can't defeat her. It's a very old existence, very old, even dating back to the time when the old gods hadn't left. However, she helped us in the fifth era."
Grace said, and then offered advice:
"My sister and I, after all, have the power of the fifth era, so we are not familiar with those ancient knowledge. Sir, the flower girl reminded us, if you want to explore the source of the blood, I think those more ancient existences , should be able to help you. Your lineage must be very noble, just as noble as your character."
Xia De was a little embarrassed:
"Don't talk about me like that, but I think the issue of my bloodline should be taken seriously. If I have a chance, I will ask other people." For example, "desire".
Although I still have some doubts about the particularity of my own body, it is because the divinity in the soul affects the materialized body. But since Grace and Helen, who have seen many different gods, did not raise this possibility, Xia De became more and more suspicious. This person was born in the southern village of Delarion during the college's background investigation, and came to Tortoise because of his escape. Whether Besque's body, in the background of the blind and ignorant first half of his life, is really as normal as he thought in the past.
"No, it's completely confirmed now, there is definitely something wrong with this body."
Xia De had nothing to do before night, he dedicated this afternoon to playing with Helen and Grace.
He asked the Red Butterfly girls if they wanted to stay in Fort Midhill, or go to Tobesk, Randall Valley and other places. They can record road signs by touching the statues of the ancient gods, and Shad can use the "butterfly flute" to summon them, so in theory, Helen and Grace can go anywhere with Shad.
It can be seen that the twin sisters have already made a "date" plan, and the place they chose is the city of Tobesk, which they once visited with Shad.
It was also the first time for a foreigner to experience Tobesk's early spring, so when he returned home with Helen and Grace, he first visited Mia, who was taking a nap after eating cat food, and stretched out her paws unhappy after being touched by him. , and then the two sisters, who put on big beige sun hats decorated with fake flowers, were ready to go out.
But it was a coincidence that the client, who hadn't appeared for a long time, actually knocked on the downstairs door this afternoon, before Xia De was about to leave. Xia De originally wanted to turn down the job, but the twin sisters thought it would be interesting to be a "detective" with Xia De:
"Instead of wandering around the city aimlessly, find something to do for yourself," suggested Grace in a white dress.
So, Xia De listened to the commission explanation about the "Prank Knocking Incident in Tom's Alley, North of the City" in the living room on the second floor. This matter is not complicated. Tom's Alley in the north of the city is the kind of narrow alley that is common in the city, but it is also the location of the warehouse for bulk goods trading in the north of the city and the location of the back door of the building of the transportation company.
Since last week, the iron gates in the alleys that have not been opened for several weeks have been frequently knocked from the alleys, but whenever people open the doors to look, there is no knocker. Tired people had gone to the police to investigate, but the police at Ridwich Field didn't care at all about such a trivial matter where no one was killed and no major property was lost.
Therefore, the owners of the buildings with the back door in Tom Lane joined forces to pay a sum of money and sent representatives to find the "famous detective Hamilton" in the city, hoping that Shad could help with the investigation.
There was no problem with the details of the entrusted task. After signing the contract and sending away the lawyer who was the middleman and client, Xia De started today's work with the twin sisters.
They looked very excited. On the carriage to the scene of the incident, they discussed the details of the case with Shad. After the three of them got off the car at the entrance of the alley that exuded a strange smell and seemed to be regarded as a garbage alley, they complained about the smell here again, then pushed Shade and walked in together.
In fact, the case this time is quite simple. Because not long after they entered the alley, they saw a resentful spirit with only the upper body left.
This sunny day appears on the wall.
At the same time as the powerful wraith appeared, the white mist instantly dispersed. At the same time that the long-pitched wailing sounded in my ears, a dark wind from unknown sources blew through the alley, the light suddenly decreased, and everything around me seemed to melt in the fog.
For a moment, Shad thought he had returned to Fort Midhill. "The blurred boundary between life and death! It's the edge of life and death again."
The undead crawled towards the three of Xia De, so the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls who seemed to be afraid of ghosts screamed and hid behind Xia De, while laughing and pulling his clothes, from his Looking sideways forward:
"Oh sir, it's a ghost!"
Helen also said this, which made Xia De think of her performance by the stream lit by the sun when he reunited with her in the Sikar Mountains.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
So Xia De also said, and at the same time as he raised his palm, a rotating light wheel with spikes appeared. But he hesitated for a moment, and finally threw out the silver ring of [Light of Imprisonment].
The twin girls clung to Xia De's back in fear, and then walked towards the undead together with Xia De. "Moonlight Slash!"
Xia De did not use all his strength, but severely injured the enemy in front of him. Then he stretched out his right hand towards the weak soul: "Guide to death."
Because of the direct touch, while the resentment of the resentful spirit was dissolved, the story of this incomplete soul also emerged in Xia De's mind.
To put it simply, he was dismembered and buried in an alley or a building next to the alley. The knock on the door every day was just because of the restlessness on the edge of life and death. After his soul was revived, he instinctively wanted to find his broken lower body.
Originally, this soul didn't have the ability to attack humans at all, so it could barely knock on the door and make a sound, but it was suddenly strengthened this afternoon.
It seems that the "edge of life and death" hidden here has changed in the afternoon, but Xia De understands that the characteristics of Helen and Grace's "Twins of Calamity" have not completely disappeared.
Xia De is just an ordinary detective, so of course he can't tell his client that this place is haunted, let alone tell the church what happened here. According to his investigation habits, the next step is to find the remaining half of the body, and then tell the police that the two bodies were found.
It has been at least ten years since the death of the resentful spirit, so it is impossible to rely on [Echo of Blood] to find clues. This is not a basement that has not been visited for many years, and those traces have long since disappeared. As for the undead itself, it doesn't know where the rest of its corpse is, otherwise it wouldn't knock on doors from door to door.
The most stupid way is to go to the police station to inquire about missing persons cases nearby in the past ten years, but the "cowardly" girls provide other methods:
"Souls have gravitational force, especially separated souls. This gravitational force will attract them to reunite, and the furthest distance will not prevent them from meeting."
Helen grabbed Shad's arm and said, Grace was on Shad's other side. She stretched out her empty left hand, and a transparent red butterfly flew out of her palm, and landed on the crippled soul.
After Hongdie touched the soul, it seemed to become more solid, and it led the three of them away from the edge of life and death. Afterwards, Xiang flew into one of the doors in the alley, and Xia De also opened the door, and slipped in together with Helen and Grace.
So, on this ordinary and peaceful afternoon, they solved the "Ursula Warehouse Murder Case" together. The murder itself happened about 17 years ago. There was a dispute between two warehouse accountants because of differences of opinion when making accounts. One of them died because of this. The body was broken in two when it hit a sharp object when it fell from upstairs.
One of them was buried in the stinky alley all the year round, and the other was buried in the corner of the warehouse because it was too fine to handle.
Now after 17 years, the murderer of the year has long disappeared, but at least the body was found and the case was discovered, which can be regarded as the settlement of the disappearance case many years ago.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for such words as haunted to come from the mouth of the famous detective who pays attention to reasoning and wisdom—Shad Hamilton. He just went to the police station to report the discovery of the body this afternoon and brought the police back. At that time, I found the lawyer who acted as the entrusted middleman and explained clearly what happened.
On the other side of this alley is the busiest commercial street in the lower part of the city. The priest of the church came soon after hearing the news~www.mtlnovel.com~ and asked the police to completely close the alley. Xia De did not directly disclose the haunting to the merchants, but the actions of the police and the priest still allowed the superstitious people of this era to confirm their conjectures.
In short, Xia De successfully got his commission reward and received thanks:
"But the guy who knocked on the door hasn't really been caught yet. I don't really believe in conjectures like ghosts. If there are still knockers on the door, you can come to me and I will deal with it for free."
But those businessmen who surrounded the priest and the police, eager to get an answer with peace of mind, couldn't care about him now. It didn't matter whether Shad believed in hauntings or not, because Shad didn't live or work here, but most of their assets were nearby.
"Sir, is your job always this interesting?"
On the way home, Helen asked Xia De with a smile behind her back.
"Actually, most of my commissions are looking for cats and dogs. Most of the commissions that detectives take over are related to cheating. Cases like today are rare."
In fact, the twin girls don't care about any cases at all, the point is to have more common memories with Xia De. Instead of going back in a carriage, they walked home. When they passed by the Singing Square in the North District, Xia De took them to the Three Cats Inn to sit for a while, listening to the bard sing songs about heroes and love.
It was dusk by the time I lingered all the way back home. The sun was setting, and the dim yellow setting sun had sunk below the horizon.
