Chapter 104
On the steps of the river bank in Preston, Donald coughed and washed his face with a handful of clean water. The smoke from the fire in the distance shot into the sky.
Sherlock sat next to him, holding a sealed document bag in his hand. This was the only item Donald took out from the fire, and it was also the finger that Dr. Andy used before he died. Click the item behind the bookcase.
“Here is a medical document, a private clinic, located in Preston, but a gentleman is being treated, and it doesn’t match anyone on the missing list. How are you feeling, if you feel unwell, go to the hospital?”
Reloaded the document and stuffed it into Donald’s arms, watching him sit in silence. On the stairs, Sherlock couldn’t help asking.
This document was taken by Donald from the fire, so it was his, and the two had agreed before.
“No problem, I’m not going to be troubled by such a little smoke. I’m a stranger anyway. I’m just thinking about what to do with this information next.”
Donald has roughly summed up the clues he knows so far. This treatment document was still remembered by Dr. Andy before his death. It must have hidden key information. Using it as a bargaining chip to exchange the inside story of the Grant couple’s incident should be enough. .
“Go to this private clinic?”
Sherlock tugged at the hay growing out of the stone crevice next to him and looked at Donald’s profile.
“Well…I don’t recommend going to this clinic again. The person I met at the back door just now took the carriage and ran away. I’m afraid Dr. Andy killed him. He’s a ruthless character. Those people we met in the meat processing factory before going to the meeting, the organizational strength behind this is definitely not bad, this private clinic is probably their stronghold, we two go there, can we come out?”
Donald yes Although he was confident in his own strength, he had not yet swelled to the point where he and Sherlock would go to the other side’s stronghold.
“You’re right, you really shouldn’t take risks…”
Sherlock himself promised Royce not to put himself in a dangerous situation, He is just an ordinary person now, and his previous experiences of fighting against special existences have given him a clear understanding of his battle strength.
It’s just that he could also vaguely feel that the fact that he obtained the document bag at Dr. Andy’s house at this time probably meant that he and Donald would have to go their separate ways.
“Sherlock, I have to go, it’s a pleasure to work with you. Although it’s not long, being your assistant is still my… the most correct choice in recent years. .”
Originally, I wanted to say the most correct choice after coming to this world, and I changed the words in time, otherwise it would sound a little scary.
Donald has too many things to do next. Obviously, he doesn’t have the energy to continue to follow Sherlock to handle the case. For example, he went out of the city to the Ryffindor farm to investigate the case. Today, he has actually done it. Not anymore.
Not to mention that he is likely to be targeted by many people now, and staying with Sherlock all the time is likely to make him a target of some people.
It’s something Donald doesn’t want to see if it hurts Sherlock.
“Wait, what are you going to do next? Your expression looks very difficult.”
“There are indeed some troubles that need to be resolved, no way, as a man, there are always I’m mentally prepared when I’m going through the dark alone.”
Donald didn’t seek Sherlock’s help, just forced a dry smile.
The dark night faced by other men may be just an ordinary night in the city, with street lights along the way, and occasional people pointing the way forward.
Donald faced the dark night with wind and rain. There was no light, not to mention, the darkness was surrounded by beasts.
“Don’t you need my help, I haven’t paid off the two times you saved me… or I can’t really help?”
Yes It’s a headache for a wizard who kills 5 villains and 1 heretic head-on, the more Donald makes a no-problem expression, the more Sherlock can feel the difficulty.
“Uh…”
Donald got up and glanced at Sherlock.
Give you a look and feel it for yourself.
Then spread out his hands shrugged and walked out of the river bank, and Sherlock followed.
“Okay, I see, I just have a request, if it’s alright, let me know?”
Slapped the dust on his butt, Sherlock was a little awkward, he I feel like I might be too sentimental today.
“No problem, if I can handle it, I will tell you, goodbye!”
I always feel that something is wrong with Sherlock today. Could it be that he has been outstanding these past few weeks His work performance completely made him inseparable from himself?
There wasn’t an atmosphere of life and death between them, Donald turned around and left after speaking.
“Your world, the ordinary person can only stand and watch…”
Take out the delicate necklace from the neck, several times He raised his hand to pull it off, but in the end he couldn’t make up his mind, so he could only turn around and kick the stones by the roadside to leave.
Donald took the document and did not go directly to Sirius to ask to meet her father. Today is a working day, it is only noon, and before he gets off work at the police station, even Sirius is now All are in class.
He has to meet with Rastolle tonight, so he might as well go to Sirius later and let her go back and tell the sheriff about her request, so that the two sides can make an appointment.
Tomorrow or the day after.
Of course, the afternoon could not be wasted either, and Donald chose to go to the location he had previously discovered from the material provided by Marcelo: the Preston Municipal Library.
It has been nearly a month since the last fire. Donald thought the repairs had been completed, but when he came here, he found that the library was still closed and several wooden The token stood outside, and there were still traces of fire inside.
As a public facility and a less important building, the government probably didn’t take it seriously.
And that’s a good thing for Donald, there may still be some clues left at the fire scene that hasn’t been fully repaired yet.
Looking around, today was a working day, and after confirming that no one was watching, Donald decisively bypassed the warning sign, pushed open the door, and slipped in.
The bookshelves and damaged books in the fire site have been completely emptied, leaving only the empty walls and stone tiles, nearly half of which have been renovated, Donald simply took the rest from the rest. The unrepaired area began to look for clues.
You can’t find anything just by walking around twice. Donald chose to turn on Spirit Vision, relying on its perspective effect, hoping to find something special.
Even if it’s a few residual traces.
