Miss Black's neighbor, the old gentleman who she met last time walking his dog, is at home today, and he still recognizes Shade. When Shade explained his purpose and wanted to know more about Miss Helen Black, the man holding the dog
The old man holding the rope shook his head:
"Although we are neighbors, I rarely see my neighbor. I only occasionally help her take care of the house. If you want to know more, you can go to Old Paso. They seem to be in contact. Yes, Old Paso.
Luo also passed away a few days ago."
The old man was a little sad:
"An old neighbor on this street has lost another one."
"Have you lived here for a long time? Do you know anything about Miss Helen Black's sister, Miss Grace White?"
Shade asked again.
"Yes, but I don't know her well either. I moved here thirteen years ago and have only met Miss White three or four times."
So the clues were interrupted here. Shade tried to ask other neighbors on this street, but either they were not at home or they knew very little... The person who knew the most information on this street seemed to be really dead.
Mr. Simil Pasolo.
"However, I still have the address of my client, Miss White, and I even sent a letter to that address."
Shade thought about this matter again when the carriage was heading to the cemetery outside the city. It happened to be on the way, so Tifa asked the carriage driver to stop in front of Miss Grace White's house.
After knocking on the door, no one answered. So Shade knocked on the door of the apartment next door, hoping to get information from his neighbor. Unexpectedly, he actually got another letter.
"Miss White also went to Fort Midhill?"
Shade looked at the letter handed out by his neighbor in surprise.
"Is this the letter she left for Detective Sparrow?"
Tifa asked.
"No, yes, it's for me. Miss White said that she had received the last letter, and the commission fee will be remitted to No. 6, Saint Teresa Square next month. She seemed to have guessed that someone would come to the door. If not
Now that I know that Miss White is dead, I might really believe this letter."
He frowned and folded the letter and stuffed it into his pocket. The carriage started again and drove towards the public cemetery outside the city:
"But in this case, the client proactively announced the end of the commission. This matter seems to have nothing to do with me?"
"Then do you want to continue the investigation?"
Tifa asked curiously, she was also a little curious about this matter.
"Of course I have to continue the investigation. I'm not someone who gives up halfway."
Shade sighed.
After all, the investigation into his lover, Mrs. Lasoya, and the search for an ophthalmologist all resulted in new developments because Shade did things other than the entrusted duties, which directly or indirectly led to Shade's huge gains.
Now that this matter has become more complicated and confusing, and is related to the ended fourth time key and Fort Midhill, Shade is of course willing to continue investigating until he meets Helen Black and Gray
S White.
Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned, looked across the building facing the street from the car window, and looked in the direction of home under the gray sky:
"If we investigate the matter of finding little Mia more deeply, will there be any other gains?"
But no matter what, the most important thing now is to find the stone figurine with the fragments of "" written on it.
For ordinary people, the best time to rob tombs is definitely at night, but for ring warlocks, they don't have so many concerns.
The carriage sent the group to the city's public cemetery, where two other sorceresses, whom Shade could not name, went to investigate the burial place of Mr. Simil Pasolo.
The result was obtained after half an hour, so the maid Leila and the coachman were asked to stay in the car, and the four ring magicians, including Shade, went to the tomb.
I was very lucky today, because Mr. Simil Pasolo was not buried directly, but in the underground cemetery, so there was no need to worry about digging up other people's graves.
Not even using the silencing effect of Shade's [Silent Moonlight], the three sorceresses used their own magic to cover their figures, eliminate sounds, and block detection.
The only thing Shade did was to use the [Door Key] to open the door to the underground tomb. Then he lit the light of the silver moon in front to lead the way, and a group of four broke into the tomb that smelled heavily of moisture and mold.
area, and headed in the direction where the gas pipeline extended. After disturbing a few mice and spiders, we successfully found the tomb of Mr. Simil Pasolo.
Shade opened the stone door at the entrance of the tomb, and the two sorceresses went to inspect the coffin placed in the center of the tomb. Tifa wanted to talk to Shade about psychic matters, but she didn't expect that after Shade entered the tomb, she looked directly at the southeast corner of the tomb.
"What's wrong?"
She also looked over, but saw nothing.
"I guess we don't need to channel. The soul is here."
Shade pointed to the southeast corner of the tomb. Tifa blinked and took out a small bottle from her pocket, which contained almost transparent dust:
"Soul-revealing dust detects spirits that are difficult to capture with the naked eye."
This is a very basic alchemical product, but its use is very narrow. After all, the soul cannot be felt by the magician, so it is basically useless. However, this kind of thing often falls into the hands of ordinary people. As good people or occult enthusiasts,
Aids on the road to death.
Tifa threw some towards the location indicated by Shade, and as the faint green light appeared little by little, the soul of Mr. Simil Pasolo appeared. At the same time, the two sorceresses also inspected the coffin and tomb chamber. Basically,
It is certain that they were the first people to come here.
"What do you want to do?"
It was probably because he had just died two days ago, so although his spirit body was weak, his soul still had a strong sense of self. He originally just "stood" there quietly, throwing dust when Tifa came close and Shade looked directly at him
, only to realize that these people could actually see him, a dead person.
"Let's find a stone figurine."
The communication is still carried out by Shade, who has a lot of communication experience with this kind of ordinary souls:
"It's an antique buried with you. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."
Shade said politely, the old man's soul stared at him, and the beard on his chin stood up:
"You don't have to be so polite. Even if I have objections, can I still stop you thieves?"
"No, no, please don't be so angry. I know this is wrong, so I want to help you deal with the distribution of your property."
"How will my property be distributed?"
The soul of Mr. Simil Pasolo looked at the young soul in front of him suspiciously:
"Have you been to my house?"
"Yes, we saw your children and the maid, Miss Linna, but we didn't see the will."
Shade told the truth and Soul nodded:
"Of course you can't see it. After all, I didn't leave a will at all."
"So this is ah."
Shade smiled and shook his head. Both he and Tifa saw that the maid was lying. They thought it was just a trick, but they didn't expect the other party to be so bold:
"Look, I just said there was something wrong with that maid, and we were all tricked by her."
He said to Tifa, who was not too surprised, but smiled.
“What the hell is going on in my house?”
Mr. Pasolo asked at a loss:
"I thought I was in good health and thought that making a will in advance was a curse on myself, so I never wrote it. Unexpectedly, I suddenly had a heart attack. What happened to my family? My children were fighting over the inheritance.
Already?"
"No, no, that gentleman and that lady are very harmonious. Your maid is about to start a fight with them."
Shade told what he had witnessed a few hours ago. After Mr. Pasuolo heard it, his soul became a little unstable because of his emotional excitement:
"Oh! I'm so good to her! Even the salary is twice that of an ordinary maid! She's actually, she's actually"
"We will let her get the punishment she deserves. If you want to dictate a will, I think this lady will help you do it."
Shad nodded to Tifa:
"So, in exchange for helping you prepare your will, is it okay for us to take away the stone figurine?"
The old man's soul nodded immediately:
"Of course. Oh, I really didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to me even after I'm dead. Don't people often say that you can be at peace after death?"
To be continued...
