Seeing that Xia De did not ask about the will, the maid was relieved:
"I have been working here for more than ten years, and I know things on this street very well."
"Does Miss Black appear here often?"
"No, she just comes here for vacation every summer. I don't know what she does specifically, but she is very rich, and sometimes she talks to Mr. Pasoolo about antiques, so she gets to know us well. That's a very knowledgeable person. Miss."
"Um?"
Shad raised his eyebrows. Detective Sparrow's records clearly stated that both Miss White and Miss Black were residents of Tobesk.
"Then you know her sister, Miss White?"
"Yes, I know, but I just know this lady. In the first year or two when I first came to work here, Miss White would lead Miss Black, who was only eight or nine years old at the time..."
"etc!"
Xia De interrupted her with some surprise:
"You mean that Miss Black and Miss White are not of the same age?"
Detective Sparrow's records clearly stated that the two were twin sisters.
"Yes."
The maid was very surprised by Xia De's surprise, and Tifa looked at him curiously. .
"Miss Black is about ten years older than Miss White. She is also a very wealthy and knowledgeable lady. She often comes here in summer, but that was many years ago. When Miss White passed away, it was... ..”
The maid frowned slightly, recalling the past:
"This year is 1853. Yes, last year happened to be the tenth year. Miss White passed away in the autumn of 1842. I remember very clearly that the house was just installing a new gas lamp in that year. My husband and I were in In the spring of the following year, when I wrote to Fort Midhill to greet Miss White, I only found out about this incident. At that time, my husband regretted it for a long time... But thinking about it now, the Miss Black whom I met this summer, It looks really similar to Miss White back then. But Miss Black likes to wear black skirts, and Miss White likes to wear white skirts."
Shad was even more surprised. Detective Sparrow didn't need to lie about the incident, so there was a big doubt about who the "Miss White" Mr. Sparrow saw was at this moment:
"Writing a letter of greetings to Fort Midhill... I didn't expect that among the four commissions left by Detective Sparrow, only Mia Cat is a normal commission."
Shad wanted to know more about Miss Black and the deceased Miss White, but the maid shook her head slightly. She was only a maid after all, so she couldn't provide more information.
Xia De nodded slowly, at this moment Tifa asked softly:
"White and Blake are surnames or first names? I noticed that you have been using these two titles."
She also thought it was strange that the two sisters had different surnames, so she thought it was the first name.
"It's a surname."
Xia De said, recalling the content of the power of attorney:
"The full name of the missing Miss Black that needs to be found is Helen Black."
Detective Sparrow wants to find someone, of course he needs to know the full name, but the power of attorney does not mention the name of the client, and even the signed contract only has the seal of the surname "White", not name.
"But, Helen?"
This name is very common, it can even be said that it is very common in the current era, but Xia De suddenly felt a jump in his heart.
The two ladies in front of him saw the surprised expression on his face, Xia De hesitated:
"Excuse me, what is the full name of Miss White who passed away eleven years ago?"
"I know this. I delivered the letter to her more than ten years ago. The full name is..."
The maid frowned and recalled, Xia De asked in disbelief:
"Won't it be Grace? Grace White."
The maid nodded immediately.
Shad looked at Tifa in disbelief, Tifa was puzzled, but didn't ask him what he thought. Xia De looked out of the window again, looking at the misty Tobesk. For a moment, he couldn't even distinguish the current era.
[This is a sign of loss of control. 】
"She" whispered in his ear, Xia De somehow remembered the scene where her arms wrapped around his neck before the gate of death:
"Whether I'm out of control, don't you know best?"
Xia De asked back in his heart.
"This is indeed their name, and they also said that in order to show their determination to separate from the family, they will abandon their original surname. My client, will it be...they?"
[Everything now is not just speculation? 】
"Yes."
Xia De nodded:
"I originally thought that the fourth key of time would not link 'now' and 'past' in series, but I didn't expect this to happen... But how is this possible? How could they... ...Didn't God himself say that they are all dead?"
[Outlander, since you consider yourself an audience, there must be a reason why Father Tree let you be an "audience" to witness the past scenes. 】
"So every key must be related to the present?"
[Can't answer. 】
"Yes."
Xia De pursed his lips, his surprised expression disappeared, and his smile reappeared:
"That's fine. As expected, there will be a follow-up to the reception. I still have the opportunity to learn about their stories. It's really good, yes, it's good. Haven't I, a foreigner, been witnessing various stories? And this story, to It's getting more interesting."
The money and the goods were settled, and with the help of Mr. Pasolo, who was wearing glasses, Xia De transferred the antiques to the waiting carriage outside~www.mtlnovel.com~ But he did not leave the street immediately, but It was walking down the street with Tifa to the other end, wanting to ask some questions of the old gentleman walking the dog who had given him Miss Black's letter last time.
"However, the maid named Linna just now was lying in part."
Xia De, who was thinking about it, suddenly said that Tifa did not walk side by side with him, but was a body behind:
"Yes, I see, too, that she's lying. It's too obvious. She gets nervous when we mention the will. I'm afraid there's something else about the estate."
The carriage followed behind the two, because the destination was only half a street away from Pasolo's house, so Shad thought while walking:
"But it doesn't matter. Mr. Simila Passolo just died two days ago, and the body has been embalmed. I can ask him through a psychic later."
A smile appeared on Tifa's face:
"Are you going to dig his grave?"
"Oh, Tifa, don't you think so?"
Xia De looked at the black-haired girl beside him:
"The stone figurine is in the cemetery. Although I don't want to disturb the dead, it is a necessary thing. As compensation, we help him deal with the will and even supervise the reasonable distribution of the estate. If the psychic can succeed , then it’s okay to apologize in person.”
This was Shad's idea.
"I always thought you were a knight in the standard sense."
said Tifa.
"knight?"
Xia De smiled:
"I'm the detective and the knight."
