Talking to strangers to find clues is not something that can be done in a short time, so Xia De spent two hours in the afternoon visiting and asking different people in the Nuoshan Opera Troupe.
Similar to what the bearded landlord said, people here also said that after Mr. Bundy's eyes were healed three months ago, he was very happy for a few days, but then his mood became gloomy and gradually became fearful. Darkness, fear of being alone.
He became neurotic and even made some mistakes in the opera troupe's performance.
The people in the opera troupe didn't find out about the taking of prohibited drugs mentioned by the bearded landlord. In their impression, Frank Bundy was a friendly and extremely self-disciplined person. Mr. Bundy didn't even smoke, but he tried Rhodes after his eyes recovered.
As for the suicide note, the musician spent a lot of space writing his life on it, lamenting his life. The distribution of the inheritance was consistent with what the bearded landlord said. Finally, he mentioned the location of the cemetery chosen by the musician for himself, and thanked his neighbors, landlord and friends of the Nuoshan Opera Troupe for their care over the years.
The suicide note was signed on the day Mr. Bundy committed suicide. The statement in the text is clear, and the arrangement of the property's cemetery is very reasonable. It's just that the way of writing is very crazy, those letters are like the terrible language written by a frenzied madman in a state of madness after witnessing the existence of the unknown.
Because Mr. Bundy was blind before, Xia De also asked the director of the troupe if he could write normally before, and learned that musicians can write, and the handwriting is not bad.
"Well, it's getting worse."
So Xia De asked for the manuscript of the score written by Mr. Bundy after his eyes were cured. After comparing with the suicide note, the detective believed that the suicide note was indeed written by Frank Bundy himself. But the clear writing ideas and crazy writing style made him very concerned.
The musician did not mention the reason why he became insane in the suicide note, nor did he write the reason for suicide, but simply wrote at the end:
【I once fell into the darkness but never lamented my fate, but why should I see the light now. 】
【I'm so tired. 】
The penultimate sentence was basically the same as what the bearded landlord said, which made Xia De even more suspicious that eye problems caused the musician's suicide.
Frank Bundy also left a lot of relics in the orchestra. The leader asked Shad to open the door of the storage room and let him rummage through the shelves by himself.
So Xia De checked the musician's notebook, personal clothes, water cups, unused tea bags, pencil sharpener and other items one by one, but after looking through them one by one, he did not see the diary in the cardboard box.
In about three short months, he hasn't developed a good habit of keeping a diary.
In the end, there were only two items that attracted Xia De's attention. One was a notebook with music scores created by Mr. Bundy himself, and the other was a small oblate curved bottle with a trace of bright yellow, Liquid like oil.
The notebook was purchased by Mr. Bundy after his eye disease was cured, and each page has a date. After regaining his light, the musician wrote almost one song a week. It's just that the further back the date was, the more slender, sharp and frenzied the musical notes written in black ink became, until the last page was almost exactly the same as the font on the suicide note.
As for the liquid in the bottle, only the bottom layer of the bottle remains. After Xia De carefully poured them on his fingers, the voice in his ear actually reminded that there were extremely traces of spirit in the liquid.
Not the four elements, but the pure spirit, because the traces of mysticism are really weak.
"The content is so weak, is it diluted, or is it just occasionally contaminated with traces of spirit? Can this be regarded as a potion?"
To be cautious, Shade informed the head of the opera troupe, and took away the notebook with the score and the empty bottle.
Before leaving, Xia De also learned the purpose of those liquids. Many people in the orchestra had seen the musician Mr. Bundy drop the liquid into his eyes and claim that it was prescribed by an ophthalmologist.
"Things are getting more and more complicated."
Because he spent the whole afternoon investigating and questioning in the Nuoshan Opera Troupe, it was almost evening when Xia De left the orchestra with two clues.
Seeing that it was late, Xia De didn't plan to take advantage of the night to visit the ophthalmologist and client Mr. Mandis involved in the commission, let alone go to the Three Cats Hotel in the Anthem Square to continue the investigation.
It just so happened that the residence of the Nuoshan Opera Troupe was not far from Miss Galina's manor outside the city. After thinking about it, Xia De decided to pay a visit.
It's not that I want to go to dinner, but I want to find Miss Galina and ask her to arrange a musician to play the last few tunes in the score obtained by Shad. Xia De wanted to use this to judge the specific mental state of the other party in the last period of his life.
The reason why the professional musicians in the opera troupe were not allowed to play was because Xia De was worried that problems would affect ordinary people. It is better to be cautious about such things.
Although Miss Galina's manor is outside the city, but because there are noble manors, forest farms and high-end horse farms nearby, the coachmen in the city are also willing to go there. In the carriage, Xia De still thought that it would be inappropriate to visit empty-handed, but it seemed even more inappropriate to get off the carriage and pick a bunch of wild flowers.
"Is Miss Galina there? There is no appointment for this visit. If she enters the city, can you find a carriage to take me into the city?"
This will save you the cost of going back.
"Miss is at the manor, but is meeting important guests."
The middle-aged housekeeper said very carefully, and arranged for Xia De to wait in the lounge. Xia De also happened to have time to look more carefully at the notebook with the music score written in it, but for him, a foreigner who knew nothing about the music of this world, this music score was even more obscure than ancient documents.
Because at least he can understand ancient documents.
Xia De did not wait long in the reception room on the second floor of the manor. The maids of the manor brought him tea and snacks, and even asked Xia De if he wanted to have dinner in the manor.
But Xia De still wanted to go home and have dinner with Mia, so he shook his head and refused.
And when he finally flipped through the score again, Miss Galina's personal maid, Miss Tifa Sevitt, opened the door and walked in. She always seemed to be wearing this maid's outfit; Shad had never seen her in anything else since he had known the lady.
"Mr. Hamilton, Ms. is going to have a dinner with important guests today, so I don't have time to meet with you tonight. She asked me to ask if you have anything important. If it's not urgent, I'll handle it for you."
Miss Galina is the powerful duchess of the Kingdom of Delarion, so of course she won't be as leisurely as Shade every day. Therefore, Xia De did not expect that the other party would leave important things behind and meet with him.
He stood up from the sofa:
"It's not an important thing. I got a score that might be weird, and I want someone to help me play it."
After briefly describing the ophthalmologist's commission, Shad handed the notebook to Miss Tifa Servitt.
She flipped through it from front to back, and she frowned when she saw the last page. She is a six-ring warlock, and there is a high probability that she can understand this score, so the problem she can see is even bigger:
"You didn't let the ordinary people from the Nuoshan Opera Troupe play. You are right. Mr. Hamilton, please follow me, and I will play for you."
As he spoke, he called Shade to the soundproof music room on the second floor of the manor house, where Miss Galina practiced the violin.
"Miss Servet, what musical instrument are you proficient in?"
Xia De asked curiously, and walked out the door with her.
"Some pianos and violins."
She said it very implicitly.
In order to prevent the blind musician's score from affecting ordinary people, after arriving at the music room, the maid asked the other servants of the manor to wait in the music room, leaving only her and Shad in the room.
It was the first time for Xia De to come to this room. Compared with the so-called professional music room he had seen in his hometown, the decoration style here was more...expensive, with a red carpet on the floor and uneven sound-absorbing walls. Most of the musical instruments that can be seen are golden, and the oil paintings on the walls are probably antiques. Each of the musical instruments in the white wood cabinets and glass windows should be more valuable than Mia.
But at least the piano was black. After the lid was lifted, the black and white keys reflected the light of the gas lamp in the room. Its neat and cold appearance made Xia De very fond of it.
Although the world is different, the types of musical instruments are very similar, but for foreigners, there is no difference, because he knows nothing about musical instruments in any world~www.mtlnovel.com~ Let Xia De have a psychological preparation , the brunette girl carefully held the fabric of the long skirt behind her body, and then sat down in front of the piano. She flipped the notebook to the last sheet music and stood it up. The hands that would be used to pour tea almost every time Shade appeared, swayed nimbly a few times, ten slender white fingers moved up and down, and then landed on the on the keys.
Shade sat on a padded high stool beside him. When the first musical note sounded abruptly, he was still guessing the possible selling price of the instrument, and tried to use "Mia" as the unit of measurement again. measure.
And when the strings of musical symbols broke into his ears, he just felt that it was nothing at first, but then his heart became more and more irritable, and he couldn't help frowning.
Miss Tifa Servet's piano skills are quite good, her fingers are dancing on the keys, and the manic music makes Shad feel more and more uncomfortable. Although he doesn't understand music, he agrees with the superb score and performers, who can express his feelings through tunes.
