Chapter 96
The matter still has to start with Jenny’s death. The relationship between Jenny and Sirius can’t be said to be familiar, and it can barely be regarded as a nodded friend.
It’s just that after the former jumped off the building and fell to her death, Jenny’s “friends” chose to retreat one after another, as if they were worried that they would provoke bad things. Instead, it was Sirius, a nodded friend, who was cultivated since childhood. The sense of justice and responsibility take the initiative to help.
Good people don’t get good rewards.
“Two days ago, I helped Sirius’ family sort out her belongings, they were reluctant to report the matter, they thought it was a waste of time, they were religious, they thought the suicides were guilty, and they gave up the Divine-Blessed Life doesn’t deserve mercy…but I did find something, you see.”
Taking a stack of open envelopes from his bag, Donald took it and opened it a few times. open.
The content is the same, roughly the content of the courtship letter, and there is no special description.
These letters alone can’t explain anything. A college student is just when his heart is sprouting. He has seen too many more aggressive ways of courting in his previous life, so he is quite restrained in writing letters.
It’s just that this last one is a little weird.
“Already had intimate…contact?”
Donald was a little embarrassed. If his understanding was correct, it should be that kind of contact.
“Yes, I found blood on Jenny’s bed, I’m sure it’s a…special case.”
Seems ashamed to say that. One word, Sirius replaced it with a special one, and Donald could understand it too.
“Jenny lives outside the school?”
“No, she lives in the dormitory, just a few bedrooms away from me.”
Said Here, the panic that Sirius had just calmed down soon reappeared.
“Is your dormitory unsupervised? Girls’ dormitories should have female administrators.”
“Yes, Mrs. Martini said she had heard Jenny say that someone had been She was following her, but Mrs. Martini insisted that it was Jenny’s personal imagination and that she did not see any special people entering the dormitory.”
Sirius looked a little indignant, and she presumably thought it was Mrs. Martini’s negligence of duty. resulting tragedy.
“Then have you asked the people Jenny knows? The classmates they usually get along with, they should know something.”
“Yes, they admit that Jenny Something is really wrong recently, often looking at somewhere for no reason and shouting, saying that someone has been looking at him, and her classmates say that they have never seen anyone wearing a black coat and a wide-brimmed top hat.”
“So…what’s your opinion?”
Sipping a bitter coffee, Donald frowned, finds things out and not simple…
p>
“Jenny is being followed, I’m sure!”
Sirius was sure.
“What’s the reason?”
“Because I also got the letter and saw him on my way home last night!”
A new The envelope was put on the table, clearly written: Miss Sirius Rhodes received.
“Can I see?”
Donald picked up the envelope.
“Of course, the content is roughly saying that Jenny doesn’t accept him, so he’s looking for a new love… Then he saw me who helped Jenny and thought I was a straight and lovely person. My girl, you want to be a couple with me.”
This may sound like an implicit romantic love letter from a young guy at other times, but here and now, no matter how you look at it, there is a layer of death notice of haze in it.
“Have you considered telling your father about this?”
“I originally thought so, but my father was recently one of the sheriffs in charge of the girl’s disappearance. , the pressure on him is very high, I don’t want to put more burden on him, I remember that Senior is working in the detective agency, I want to entrust you to help me find this guy, I can pay.”
Standing in the study room with the envelope, Sirius really didn’t want to bother him anymore when he saw the father staring at the report document, brows tightly frowns, and the smoke lingering in the room.
“1p, this commission only costs 1p. This is a discount only for you.”
Sirius has not paid back the kindness of getting the material for himself, so he just borrowed it. This opportunity pays off.
“Thank you Senior, I…”
The voice came to an abrupt end, and Sirius’ eyes suddenly turned behind Donald.
Their location is by the cafe window.
“What?”
Donald was looking down at the contents of the letter when he noticed that Sirius suddenly lost his voice, looked up, and immediately turned around to follow her line of sight, Looking out somewhere.
Only passers-by come and go, no black clothed wide hats.
“He was there just now?”
He turned around and asked softly.
“Look at me under the street light outside. When you turned around suddenly, a passerby happened to pass by, and he disappeared.”
To her classmates before with Jenny The content of what was said was exactly the same, she could see it, but when the others turned their heads, they couldn’t see anything.
“Don’t be nervous, he’s looking at you somewhere right now, that’s a good thing, at least it proves he’s in the vicinity… Next time you spot him, pretend I didn’t see it. Since he wants to avoid my sight, he will inevitably appear behind me. I need you to give me a signal. If you pinch the left ear, you will be behind the left, if you pinch the right ear, you will be in the right rear. If you pinch the nose, you will be right behind. Are you there?”
If you want to arrest someone, you must first find a way to see the other party, and then you can chase after you have a target.
“No problem, then am I going to wait here?”
“Of course not, how can I catch up here, is there a place to hang out in Preston? Want to catch it? He’d better be outside, in a quiet place, give him a chance to follow him, and he won’t necessarily show up in crowded places.”
There is another reason Donald didn’t say it, then It’s because it’s inconvenient for him to use his abilities in crowded places. Although the three spells are all transparent, the effects produced during the casting process can still be seen by others.
“How about the botanical garden, it’s near here, because there are fewer recreational facilities, more trees and flowers, usually only people who walk in the morning and evening will go there, today is a working day, There should be no who.”
The urban planning of this era is also indispensable to parks, although people do not understand the principle, but people still know that the air smells much fresher in places with many trees.
The function of the botanical garden is to allow some citizens to temporarily escape from the steel jungle in the city and experience the real natural jungle.
Sirius asked for leave today on the grounds that he was ill, while Donald was a homeless person. He couldn’t go to the bookstore often, otherwise it would be easy to get caught. After discussion, he decided to visit every three to five days.
“Sirius, are you sure no one has seen him except you and Jenny?”
On the way to the botanical garden, Donald suddenly realized that he should actually ask passers-by outside if Have noticed that black silhouette.
