Chapter 45
The woman folded her hands on her legs in a regular manner. She had white skin and delicate facial features. The light purple dress still couldn’t hide her beautiful figure. Her whole body only showed a small part of her ankle, but Imaginative.
A woman who looks like a woman walking out of a painting, sitting next to Zier · Bartley, whose body and appearance can’t be called, inevitably makes people think of some not-so-harmonious words.
“Audrey the past few days didn’t do anything particularly strange, walking every morning, going to class, going to town at noon to meet her friends, having class in the afternoon… In this way, she was learning flower arrangements with me two days before her disappearance, and it didn’t seem like there was a problem.”
Mirana Bartley, wife of Zier Bartley, whose daughter’s disappearance makes her mental state seem to be There was a problem, and there was obvious delay in speech and behavior. Although the meaning was complete, there were many pauses in the middle.
Donald’s eyes wandered on Mrs. Bartley’s body several times. This was not what he wanted, but he was a little bit hard to control himself. The appreciation of beauty is the universal pursuit of mankind.
“Ms. Audrey’s friends in town, have you two gone to ask?”
Shylock on the side was calm, as if not affected at all, and continued. own inquiry.
“I asked, the night Audrey disappeared, I took a few people to visit them separately, and no one knew why… Oh, there are two people who are very close to Audrey. The nice girl said that he would often be in a daze during the half a month party…like something on his mind, he was in a hurry to find his daughter and didn’t ask in detail, do you want me to let them come over again? ”
Memories are a good way to find out what’s missing. Although Audrey’s personal troubles seem to have nothing to do with her being kidnapped, there’s nothing wrong with paying attention to details. Just a few questions.
“Is there anyone on the farm who knows the route of Miss Audrey’s morning walk? That’s the path he took when he disappeared. If possible, before Miss Audrey’s friend comes, I hope you can take me for a walk. I have to take a closer look, especially the missing section.”
The inquiry is over for the time being, I got up and sorted my clothes and asked someone to lead the way.
“Old Hooper, you grew up watching Audrey, so you should be familiar with the way she walked in the morning?”
“Of course, Miss Audrey’s walking route I know very well, two gentlemen, come with me.”
Old Hopper was also very concerned about Audrey’s disappearance. As Mr. Bartley said, he was watching Audrey as a The old farmer who grew up cares about this girl no less than others.
“To be exact, I’m going to investigate. Mr. Grant will visit the farm to investigate the disappearance of cattle and sheep. Come here.”
Walk out a few times. Stepping forward, he called Donald to his side and continued:
“You go and see the disappearance of cattle and sheep, they are all missing, maybe there will be some connection… Help me ask the farm The rest of us, on such a big farm, there will never be only a few people who will act separately.”
Since the Ratcatcher incident, Sherlock has acknowledged Donald’s ability and spent 1 gold pound himself. The assistant hired by the weekly salary is not just a person who can only translate special words. He has his own opinions on things and knows the proportions, so he deliberately entrusts the task of inquiring other people to Donald. The division of labor and cooperation can improve efficiency.
“No problem.”
Yesterday’s heavy rain washed away the traces on the ground, and the tracking powder in my hand probably won’t come in handy, so it doesn’t matter.
Sherlock was carried by old Hooper, and Donald was specially designated for Golem.
“Mr. Grant, put this on, there are some difficult roads in the farm.”
Outside the door, Golem handed over a pair of leather boots and asked Donald to change the chair next to him. On the farm, only the basic paths are paved with stones, and they are still scattered. If there is no boots to go out for a walk and then return, the current low-top shoes are estimated to be unsuitable.
First go to the place where the cattle and sheep were missing. This is Donald’s request after changing his boots. Although the farmer doesn’t care about the disappearance of the cattle and sheep now, wholeheartedly wants to find his daughter, but Donald always feels that the incident Some are too coincidental.
I don’t disappear sooner or later, but at this juncture, the cattle and sheep are gone, and the daughter is gone.
“Is Mr. Bartley just farming? The house doesn’t look like a simple farmer.”
Any conversation with purpose needs a tone, and Donald chose to start from the farm It started with the house that was so imposing that it was out of tune with the rural atmosphere. As for why he chose Golem, he had said before that he was very enthusiastic, and even to strangers, he was still willing to let go of it, rather than hide it. .
This is important.
In fact, there is another point, that is, as one of the three people sent by Mr. Bartley to entrust him, he is undoubtedly a trusted person. In this case, it is very likely that he is an old employee, and he knows something for sure More than most people on the farm.
“haha, of course, our boss was not a farmer before, but a respectable person in Preston City, a contractor of a big factory, not just in name only, but also in Reality’s capitalist, and a good capitalist for employees.”
Talking about his own boss, Golem looked proud.
“Then why did you come to the countryside? Could it be that there is a problem with the operation of the factory?”
“How is that possible! Mr. Grant, did you not see how hot the operation of the factory was back then? For Mrs. Bartley.”
Meaning Mirana Bartley, Golem’s expression was inexplicable, some ambiguous and some regrettable, mixed together.
“Is there a conflict in this? I think they have a good relationship.”
“Of course, you don’t know, the factory that Boss gave up in order to pursue his wife. …..Well, it’s a pity to speak of which, originally the Boss could become the Big Boss of Preston City, but as a man, it’s normal to think about it, don’t you think the lady is beautiful?”
“That’s why I asked, is there any necessary connection between being a big capitalist and pursuing Mrs. Bartley?”
According to common sense, isn’t it easier to hold a beautiful woman by being a famous big capitalist? return? How come this seems to be a hindrance.
“How do I know, anyway, at that time, Boss sold the factory soon after he pursued success, and he didn’t do business in the city, and he came to the country with the remaining funds. Employee, resignation, resignation, job hopping, only me, old Hooper and Aldridge follow Boss.”
Golem walked forward as he spoke, but Donald became more and more confused as he listened to it. .
