"So, what's the gain?" After returning home, Claire sat on the sofa with her back to Ahs and asked.
"A letter." Ahes sat across from Claire, threw the letter on the table and said, "Can your book of insight provide insight into objects?"
"Of course not."
"Tch, this is troublesome. I don't have the ability to tell who wrote it through the handwriting." Ahes sighed and said, "The person who sent the letter is probably the person who stole the medal. He took this
The incident was framed on me. I only told the Milton family at first, and later I also told Christian. It was already obvious that in addition to framing me, he also wanted my life."
"Thinking about it from another angle, maybe the person who stole the medal was really dressed like you, and the witness just wanted to earn two bounties, so he told the two of them." Claire said.
"Okay, that makes sense." Ahes sighed, took out the high-end cigarettes that he had passed away from Christian from his pocket, and lit one again.
"The Milton family will leave at that time because Christian's men don't know how to take them away. They will definitely come back after a while. It's really troublesome. If I don't find the real thief, they will definitely keep pestering me.
Don’t let go.”
As he said this, Ahes rubbed the bridge of his nose with a headache.
"But how can I find it? It's just a letter and it's anonymous."
"If according to your thinking, that person just wants to frame you, then think about who has hatred against you."
"Then what do I think? It's up to you. Don't forget that I have no memory." Ahs said, "Quick, help me."
"If you insist on speaking, the only ones are the relatives of the person you killed and your brother."
"My brother?"
"Well, it's the man who lost an arm because he accidentally touched your hand of ashes. His name is Sean Gardner." Claire seemed a little impatient. "If you want to find it, just choose from these two
I can't do anything else."
"good."
"I've done so much for you, how are you going to thank me?"
"Thank you? Just help me check my memory."
"Hmph, I told you that using the Book of Insight takes a lot of energy." Claire pouted and said.
"...Then what do you want?"
"Interesting stuff." After thinking about it, Claire said.
"Interesting stuff? You have lived for such a long time and have never experienced anything except love. What else can make you feel interesting? Do you want to fall in love with me?" Ahs asked deliberately.
"If you want to fall in love with me, you should live for decades. Although I have lived for such a long time, there are still many interesting things for me, such as books. There are many things in your world that are not available in our world.
Something? Try writing it into a book."
Claire didn't seem to feel much about Ahes' teasing, "If it is well written and published, if a book is successfully written, it can greatly improve a person's social status. There are currently six of the ten main council members in the royal capital."
They have all written books, although the writing is not very good."
"Is that so? I have some experience in writing books...but I don't know very well what the tastes of Helworth people are like. Even if I write it, no one may like it.
"Ahs replied.
"Hellworth... No, people all over the world have basically the same taste. As long as the story is strong, no one will hate it." Claire said, standing up from the sofa.
, "It's getting late, I want to rest."
"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to ask you." Ahes stood up and said, "Do you have any extra clothes you can lend me?"
"...Are you kidding me?"
"No, no, of course it's not a joke, and of course it's not what you think." Ahes said, "You will understand why I did this."
The second day.
The doorbell of a family rang. Compared with the mansions of big families, this small single-family building seemed not that outstanding.
A man opened the door. That man was the family member of the victim who beat Ahes when Ahes just crossed over.
"Who is it?" he said as he opened the door.
"Hello." The person outside the door was none other than Ahes.
"You..." Before the man could say anything, Ahes suddenly kicked him in the chest and knocked him to the ground. Just as the man was about to get up, Ahes had already
Went into the room and locked the door.
"You are, Ahs, what are you going to do!"
"Mr. Duke Marcellus," Ahes said, taking out his pistol, "I have some questions to ask you."
"Kill my son, do you still want to kill me?"
"What's wrong?" At this time, another woman walked down the stairs. It seemed to be Duke's wife. Ahes had also seen her in the audience during the prison trial.
Ahes did not hesitate, raised his hand and fired a shot, directly hitting the woman's thigh. The woman screamed and fell down the stairs.
"I don't want to talk nonsense." Ahs said, looking at Duke again, "Have you had any contact with the Milton family or the Simmons family recently?"
"You, what are you talking about, I don't understand!"
"Let me ask you one last time, has anyone in your family had any contact with Laura Milton or Christian Simmons?" Ahes said with an emphasis on his tone, "Tell you, your son died in my hands.
It's absolutely his fault, and I don't feel any guilt at all. On the contrary, because of him, I am now charged with being a murderer, so I don't have the slightest pity for you. Don't think that I will be merciful!"
"I don't know, I really don't know. Anyway, the two of us didn't say anything!" Looking at Ahs's appearance, Duke panicked and raised his hands, he said quickly.
"are you sure."
"Sure, I'm sure. I believe it's impossible for other people in our family to contact us. We are just a small family with no name. How can we have the capital to contact the Milton or Simmons families!" It seems that Duke
I really don't know what happened.
"I understand." Ahes withdrew his pistol and glanced at the woman lying on the ground moaning, covering her thigh wound. Ahes left the room directly.
To be honest, Duke and the others don't think the suspicion of Ahes is very high. They are just a small business family. The Gardner family originally gave them three thousand kirks as payment for sealing Ahes' use of the Book of Ashes.
I happily accepted it.
In fact, this kind of thing is kept secret from civilians. Everyone in the big family knows what happened. At least until now, Ahes has met many people, and they all know the truth about his murder and the secret of his Book of Ashes.
"In this case, we have to go back to the Gardner family." Ahs thought.
At this time, the Gardner family.
"Hey, Ewinnie, where's Sean?" Daniel asked while sitting on a wicker chair, reading the newspaper and drinking black tea.
A red-haired girl was taking out some washed, wet clothes from the barrel and hanging them out to dry.
"Sean? Go out early in the morning." Ewinnie replied without looking back, "This guy has been mysterious these past two days. Who knows what he has done."
"He is your brother, please help him more."
"There's nothing I can do to help that guy who can't hold up the wall with mud."
"Forget it, who else is in the family besides you?"
"Aliya and Case, Rex hasn't been back these days, as you know."
"Okay, I have to go out later." As he said, Daniel's eyes changed, "I have some things to discuss with the Joseph family."
With that said, Daniel closed the newspaper, put on his coat and picked up his cane while putting the cup on the table.
"You will be in charge of the house during my absence. Take good care of Sean and keep him from going out to cause trouble."
"I know." Ewinnie is the eldest sister in the family. If Daniel and her mother Carolee are not at home, Ewinnie will basically be responsible for everything.
Ahs is in the middle of the family. Ewinnie is Ahs's sister, Rex and Sean are Ahs's brothers, Aaliyah is Ahs's younger sister, and Keith is Ahs's older brother.
Hess's younger brother.
Just when Ewinnie was drying her clothes and preparing to go back to her room to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Did you forget something?" Ewinnie subconsciously thought it was Daniel, so she walked directly to the door and opened it.
However, standing outside the door was a girl with fluffy black bob-style hair and wearing a very orthodox Gothic attire. She looked to be a few years younger than Ewinnie.
"Hello." She smiled and said, "My name is Charlotte Woolf."
