Demon Sage

"Miss Audrey has been very restless lately, that's for sure. At the party with friends, she didn't cover her emotions well. She seemed to be troubled by something. Her preference for colors may be It's a bit heavy...it's a bad word."

Sharing the information he had just obtained, Donald opened the bedside table, which contained necklaces, bracelets and other objects, most of which were colorful, symbolizing **** and hot red gemstone necklaces, and purple spar bracelets representing charm. There are still such items in the cabinets on the first floor, but compared to the first floor, the ones here are stored in boxes.

"What can make a girl from a wealthy family full of entanglements, besides a handsome gentleman? Two weeks ago, a new teacher came to the town, 3 years older than Miss Audrey. Those who come to town to exercise will return to Preston to coach in a year."

The profession of a teacher will be respected no matter where, not only the salary is high, but also the status is not low, the teacher is highly educated, respects his wife, and is a good candidate for a husband.

"However, our Miss Audrey doesn't seem to be so attractive. She just put a photo in her room, which is still a family portrait."

Picking up a photo frame from the bedside table on the other side, there was a group photo of the Bartley family, which was somewhat inconsistent, mainly because the contrast between father, daughter and mother was too strong.

Donald finally understands why Golem mentions Audrey's kindness and at the same time he mentions a long not-so-good thing, this is... it's really not good!

Small eyes, thick lips, flat nose...

"Is Mrs. Butley a stepmother?"

Otherwise, how could you not inherit any bloodline?

"This has nothing to do with kidnapping. Our topic seems to be a little off. Speaking of which, I have another piece of information here. Some time before her disappearance, Miss Audrey entrusted her friends to buy some items in the town one after another. Most of them were Medicinal materials and plants, there are mountains and forests on the Ranfndor farm, which are easy to get."

Sherlock pulled out drawers one by one, and there was nothing special in them.

"It may be for the purpose of recuperating the body, or in other words, beauty, etc. The congenital conditions are insufficient, and acquired efforts may also be able to make up for some of the defects."

It's too troublesome to look for it like this. At the same time as a simple response, Donald began to mobilize his mental power and activate his spiritual vision.

According to what the maid said, few people came in after Audrey disappeared, and the tracing powder could see the traces left in the past few days, quietly twisted some between the fingers, sprinkled it on the edge of the bed, and imagined In addition to the footprints he just left, there are indeed other imprints with lighter colors.

Starting from the side of the bed, the footprints extended to the large wardrobe opposite the bed. Is this the trace of clothes worn in the morning... Since he started, Donald simply sprinkled around the room and turned it on again. Vision.

Because the amount is relatively small, many footprints are incomplete, but this does not affect the general orientation of the footprints.

Recently, there were quite a few traces pointing to the closet. Donald leaned up, closed his vision, and opened the closet door first. The inside was full of clothes, most of which were plain clothes, but not all of them. There were a few more sets on the inside. Similar to dresses, the fabric is thin, and the cutting method also shows the figure.

Donald soon noticed that there were two rows of drawers on the lower level of the cabinet. The long cabinet above was for clothes, and the bottom should be underwear, waistbands and the like.

Although this was a bit offensive, he still extended his "gentleman's hand" without hesitation.

Soon, Donald found an abnormality in the third drawer, which contained a pile of women's underwear. When he pulled the drawer out as much as possible, and pressed his fingers down to test whether there was a foreign object, he pressed it. a solid object.

A palm-sized brown wooden box, with a metallic gray pattern on it outlines a creature with two tusks.

"open to take a look."

Sherlock took the box from Donald's hand and opened it directly.

Inside is a folded old yellow photo, and nothing else.

Boom!

The white thunder light exploded brightly in the clouds. After the thunder, there was the sound of rain beating on the glass outside the window.

Fortunately, the windows in Audrey's house were closed, and the wind and rain outside could not affect the inside. The light from the chandeliers had already made the house very bright.

squeak~

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Fran Shazzo stood at the door, while Donald and Sherlock were in the center of the room, looking at the chandelier above their heads. "

"Two gentlemen, have you found any important clues?"

The maid's gaze lingered on the two of them. As Mrs. Barrett's personal maid, she expressed concern and concern for the situation of the master's house, and there was no problem.

"It's just a small gain. I'm here today. I have to go with my assistant to sort out the information I've collected, and I'll continue the search tomorrow."

Sherlock held the wooden box with his hands behind his back, and slipped it into the cuffs quietly, and then pretended to casually insert it into his pocket. Fortunately, he wore a windbreaker for the convenience of traveling in the countryside. If the cuffs of formal clothes could not hide a box.

"If you need any help, please let me know. Master and Madam are also looking forward to the progress of the two of you."

"Of course, Donald, let's go, don't you want to learn guns? I'll take you to a place to practice guns while it's still early, and discuss the situation by the way."

Sherlock responded, gave Donald a wink, and the two walked around the maid.

At the corner of the stairs, Donald, who was walking behind, narrowed his eyes, turned his head abruptly, and looked at the maid who was walking into Audrey's room to close the door.

I found the butler and learned from him that there was a special shooting range at Ranfindor Farm, and took them there in person.

"Mr. Butler, go back first. We'll go back to the main house after practicing for a while. If you can, please help me make the quilt thicker. This thunderstorm is very cool."

At the door of the shack, they randomly found a butler who opened the door, and the two of them crossed the stone arch and entered the shooting range.

Said to be a shooting range, in fact, it was an abandoned shack with a road from the main house.

It is divided into two areas, with nearly ten tables on one side, bullets and eggshells scattered on the drawer and the ground, and a large number of iron discs on the other side, with distance lines drawn on the ground.

"Let's see what Miss Audrey is hiding so deeply."

After the others left, Sherlock took out the box again.
