Chapter 48
“Miss Audrey has been very restless lately, that’s for sure. At a party with friends, she didn’t cover her emotions well. She seemed to be troubled by something. Your preference may be stronger…it’s not a good word.”
Sharing the information he just got, Donald pulled open the bedside table, which was filled with necklaces, bracelets and the like. , Most of them are colorful, symbolizing the sexy and hot red gemstone necklace, and the purple spar bracelet representing the charm. This kind of item is still in the Second Layer cabinet, but compared to the First Layer, the one here is stored in a box.
“What can make a girl from a wealthy family full of entanglements, what else can there be other than a handsome gentleman? Two weeks ago, a new teacher came to town, older than Miss Audrey. A 3-year-old, top student, it is said that he came to the town to exercise, and will return to Preston to teach in a year.”
The profession of teaching will be respected no matter where it is, not only with high salary, but also with high status. Not low, highly educated, respects his wife, 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, or a family photo.”
From another On one side of the bedside table, I picked up a photo frame, which contained a group photo of the Bartley family, which was somewhat inconsistent, mainly because the contrast between father and daughter and mother was too strong.
Donald finally understands why Golem is talking about Audrey’s kind-hearted and also mentioning a long, not-so-good line, which is… not so good!
Small eyes, thick lips, flat nose…
“Mrs. Bartley is a stepmother, isn’t she?”
Otherwise, how can you be a little bloodline Couldn’t inherit it.
“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 she disappeared, Miss Audrey once entrusted her friends to come to the town one after another. Buy some items on the Internet, most of which are medicine ingredients and plants, Ryffindor Farm has mountains and forests, which are easy to get.”
Sherlock pulled out drawers one by one, and there was nothing special in them.
“Maybe it’s for the purpose of nourishing the body, or beauty, etc. Innate conditions are insufficient, and acquired efforts may be able to make up for some of the defects.”
It’s too troublesome to find such a simple response At the same time, Donald began to mobilize spirit strength and open Spirit Vision.
According to the maid’s statement, few people came in after Audrey disappeared, and the tracing powder could see the traces left in the past few days. On the bedside, as expected, in addition to the footprints he left just now, there are indeed other lighter-colored marks.
Starting from the bedside, the footprints extend all the way to the big closet opposite the bed. Is this the trace of clothes worn in the morning… Since the beginning, Donald simply sprinkled the room After a lap, turn on Spirit Vision again.
Because the amount is relatively small, many footprints are incomplete, but this does not affect the general orientation of the footprints.
Recently, there are quite a few traces pointing to the closet, Donald leaned up, closed Spirit Vision, opened the closet door first, and the inside was full of clothes, most of which were plain clothes, but not all of them. , There are also several sets of clothing similar to dresses on the inside, the fabric is thin, and the cutting method is also showing the figure.
Donald quickly 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 he could, he lowered his fingers to test whether it was there. When it came to a foreign object, he touched a hard object.
A palm-size brown wooden box with a metallic grey texture outlines a creature with two tusks.
“Open it and see.”
Sherlock took the box from Donald’s hand and opened it directly.
Inside is a folded old yellow photo, apart from this, nothing else.
Boom!
white’s lightning exploded brightly in the clouds, and after the thunder, there was the sound of rain beating against 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 chandelier had already made the house very bright.
Squeak
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, Fran Shazzo was standing at the door, Donald and Sherlock were in the center of the room, looking at the head above. chandelier. “
“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 about the situation of the master’s house, and there was no problem.
“There is a It’s just a little harvest. I’m here today. I have to organize the information collected with my assistant, and continue the search tomorrow. ”
Sherlock held the wooden box with his hands behind his back, tucked it into the cuffs quietly, and pretended to casually insert it into his pocket. Fortunately, he wore a windbreaker for the convenience of traveling to the countryside. But there is no box to hide.
“If you need any help, please let me know, the master and the wife 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?” While it’s still early before bed, I’ll take you to a place to practice guns and discuss the situation by the way. “
Sherlock complied, winked at Donald, and the two walked around the maid.
When they reached the corner of the stairs, Donald, who was walking behind, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly Turning his head, he looked towards the maid who was walking into Audrey’s room and was about to close the door. He just glanced at it and stopped looking.
Find Steward and learned from him that Ryffindor Farm also has a special shooting range , and take them there in person.
“Mr. Steward, you should go back first, we will 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 difficult to cool down. deal with. ”
At the door of the shack, they randomly found a steward, and the two crossed the stone arch and entered the shooting range.
It was said to be a shooting range, but it was actually a distance from the main house. Road, relatively empty abandoned shack, there are entrances and exits all around, not even doors, just stone arches left on the walls.
It is divided into two areas, with nearly ten tables on one side. , there are bullets and eggshells scattered on the drawer and the ground, and a large number of iron discs are placed on the other side, with distance lines drawn on the ground.
“Let’s see what Miss Audrey hides so deeply what is the thing. “
and the others left, Sherlock took out the box again.
