Chapter 42
“Grant, is your work going well recently? Grant?”
At the dining table, Infinita glanced at Donald, who was in a daze with bread in his mouth.
“Huh? It’s okay…it’s going well.”
Awakened from the thought state, Donald realized that there was another person sitting beside him.
The things he encountered during meditation last night were too shocking for him. His spiritual world was eroded by demons. This situation was too dangerous, and he had no choice but to pay attention to it.
Fortunately, judging from the aggression speed of the black site, he still has a certain buffer time, so as not to discover that the demon exists in the spiritual world last night, it will be completely transformed tonight.
“Grant, you don’t have to hide some things from me. There should be trust between us, and that’s good for you.”
Donald Grant’s change prompted Infinita to do the same With the change, he is no longer an ordinary person, the boundaries are broken, and some topics are no longer taboo.
“Of course, I believe in you, work is really going well, but I didn’t sleep well last night, so I was a little out of shape. It’s almost time, I have to go to the office.”
trust you? I don’t even know what your identity is, how can I trust you…
and the others leave, Infinita returns to the living room, there is a slight rustling on the gramophone, this is a request Communication signal, open the organ.
“Surveillance methods will not be restored during this time. Only when we disarm, some organizations or individuals will start to try to use Donald Grant… We have wasted too much on him. Time and energy, but not enough to make up for the return. The city of Preston is not a public parish. Justice Church has sent people to negotiate many times. The final notice has been issued. After three months, we must withdraw from Preston, otherwise except for In addition to the heretics, we have to face the expulsion from the judge… Instead of letting him become a waste of energy and useless in our hands, it is better to throw it out and let others do it. Fight, use Donald Grant as bait, let the rats in the shadows help us find out the secret, at least we can get a result before we leave!”
With rustling, a new announcement was issued, nearly half a year ago The attempt to come here has achieved a lot of results, and it also proves that they have too little information. This belongs to Justice Church, and Donald Grant is forcibly kept, but it is time and time. On the contrary, he can get good results by letting him play freely. .
This time is no longer about trying, they are about to follow through.
“Donald Grant is innocent, and according to the teachings, we…I apply for a review to confirm his status.”
The new order made Infinita frown. , After a long period of observation, she knew that the target person probably knew nothing about the past, and there was no reason for him to assume everything for the previous generation.
“Regular review is imperative, innocent? How did you get such a naive opinion, his parents are demons, and as you reported two days ago, his innate talent has begun to show , you should be very clear that some innate talents are hereditary, past experience has proved that evil must be strangled in the cradle, Donald Grant’s outcome is already doomed, this should be remembered.”
pat, the communication is over!

“Several gentlemen, what are you going to do?”
Behind the dim clouds, Donald came to Swift’s office, three wearing A man in a blue-grey suspender over the shoulder and a plaid shirt is at the door of the office.
This kind of dress does not look like a person living in the city, but more like a farmer in a farm area outside the city.
“Are you from the firm? We…”
“Hey, Golem, pay attention to what you said, Boss explained it.”
p>
The meaning expressed by the dialogue between the two should be that there is an entrustment, not a door-to-door debt collector, so that there is no need to hide their identities.
“I’m Sherlock Swift’s assistant, Donald Grant. It’s 7:50. The office will open immediately. Can I listen to a few people’s demands first? It’s a lot easier when you’re there.”
Donald didn’t have the keys to Swift’s office, so he had to wait for Sherlock to open the door, who usually had one on the right window sill if he woke up early. Potted flowers, indicating that Donald can push the door directly in, today’s weather, he is still in bed.
Looking at the messy hair and tired expressions of these gentlemen, they should have been waiting outside for a while. Donald simply led them to sit on a bench on the side of the street, while he was standing there. beside.
“Our Boss, Zier Bartley, sent us into town to hire a private detective to investigate some recent oddities on the farm…”
These three The people were indeed farm workers, and Donald’s guess was correct. They came to the city this morning and rode in the donkey cart on the farm. They had been bumping all the way for more than two hours, so it was no wonder they were so tired.
As for the incident they are entrusting to investigate, it is the recent disappearance of some lambs and calves on the farm. This kind of thing could have been reported to the police. This is done, but because of the region, this type of missing cattle and sheep must be handled by the police station in the local village outside the city.
Like this kind of rural police station, the number of police officers in it is actually no more than 30, and the area they have to administer is not small. Who owns the farm, who hasn’t lost any cattle or sheep when grazing?
It is common to be carried away by wolves and leopards in the mountains.
At first everyone thought it was just an ordinary disappearance, until someone was attacked near the farm two nights ago.
“Any human dead?”
Donald interrupted Godot’s narrative, and if there was a dead man, the nature of the case would change.
“No, it’s just an injury. Someone on the farm ran into a monster during a vigil…he said it was a monster. Actually, we didn’t see it, but he did get injured. With two more holes, the Boss thinks that the police in the town are too slow, and that if things drag on, it will ruin the reputation of our farm, so he hired a private detective. I hope you can speed up the progress of things.”
There are no dead, just wounded. As for the monster’s statement, Donald is interested, but it is useless if he is interested. Sherlock, who is standing outside the threshold, agrees.
“Ryffindor Farm…Are you sure?”
He briefly explained the situation after entering the door, and as soon as he said the name of the farm, Sherlock next to him was surprised.
“Is there a problem with the name of the farm…Is it Ryffindor?”
He asked, but Donald was a little unconfident, turned his head and asked again once again.
“Yes, Ryffindor, that’s the name.”
“That Ryffindor?”
“Yes! That’s the Ryffindor!”
The Q&A between the farm worker and Sherlock left Donald at a loss, what happened to Ryffindor?
That Ryffindor, which one?
“Don’t you know? The roof shredding case I told you before, you can understand it by reading it yourself. You three, talk to me. I’m a detective.”
If I remember correctly, the shed roof mutilation took place on the farm. Donald took this one out of the sorted files and pulled out one of the newspapers.
As expected, the name of the farm was mentioned in the first stage words: Ryffindor Farm.
It’s no wonder that Sherlock was so surprised. He often saw that one of the parties in the case came to the door to entrust the case. This coincidence really made people feel absurd.
However, this also means that he should agree this time.
Donald has also figured out a part of his temperament for his own boss. Sherlock has a great hobby for supernatural phenomena. Really get involved.
He doesn’t know the specific reason, at least one thing should be certain, in the absence of other options, this time the farm should be a must.
“Donald, we’re going to the Ryffindor farm!”
Sherlock couldn’t wait to see the place where the supernatural incident took place.
