Chapter 201, Second Floor, Room 2

Because Captain Radees made an appointment for an evening visit, Shade has no other plans tonight.

When I got home, I put the bottle of holy water in the hidden space in the basement. Afterwards, I took the cat out for a sumptuous dinner, and then took advantage of the time before Captain Laddes came to write yesterday's investigation report on Lawyer Locke Laurel, and sent it to the client, Lemay by post. Mrs. Earl.

In this way, the only thing left for this commission is to sign with Mrs. Le Maire.

Captain Radees, who had agreed to come to visit, knocked on the door downstairs at seven o'clock that night.

The captain's mental state was different from before. When he came to visit, he carried a bottle of wine that he knew was not cheap as a gift.

He excitedly told Shade what he had seen while taking notes at Ridwich Field, and repeated what he had already said in the letter from a friend.

Finally, with a broad and rough palm, Shade's hand was shaken tightly, and he thanked the detective for his help:
"I have known many people in my life, but the detective, You will be my friend for life."

"It's your choice, Captain. I didn't invite you to help me and Mrs. Cook yesterday, you chose to follow, it was you His kindness changed his destiny."

Shade was happy for him, but even so, the captain believed that Shade had changed his destiny.

This military background is relatively a kind middle age person, I want to thank Shade. But he has no money, so he can only come here to thank him verbally and promise that he will never forget Shade's kindness.

This makes Shade a little sorry.

Received a letter from the client on Friday morning, Mrs. Le Maire has made an appointment with Lawyer Laurel to accept the estate of the distant relative on next Friday, when Shade will go to the contract together. go with.

As for the schedule on Friday, that is because Lawyer Laurel has to contact the notary office of the City Hall to confirm that the inheritance can be transferred. After all, it involves a lot of money, so the process will be relatively complicated.

There is no need to worry about entrusting for the time being. It also takes time to open the new key, and life seems to be relaxed at once.

So he went out at eight in the morning and went to the Black Raven Library to inquire about Mystic Art about [Echo]. The library does have the knowledge Shade wants, and [Echo] is not a rare spirit rune. But the problem is that the Mystic Art they offer, while functional, is unusually expensive.

Even though Shade has nearly 400 pounds in cash to consume, he is also discouraged from the [Echoing Power] with materials worth 700 pounds, and the [Natural Hollow Voice] without materials worth 1200 pounds.

Shade knows that he has no intention to study the [Echo] spirit rune carefully, and he has not seen the connection between this spirit rune and [Space-Time] and [Silver Moon] for the time being. So even if the queen's ruby ring and the Rhodes card in hand can be cashed out, unless he really encounters a very practical Mystic Art, he will not spend so much money to buy knowledge.

No gain at the Black Raven Library, but St. Byrons' library might have cheap Mystic Art. It's just a pity, although the library catalog from last week is still in Shade's hands, the Mystic Art in the catalog is only related to [Silver Moon], [Time and Space] and [Gluttony].

Therefore, we will have to wait until Saturday, which is tomorrow, before we can go to further inquiries.

I hurried home at 9:30, confirmed for the last time that all sensitive items were hidden in the basement, and then welcomed Dawn Church's exorcist at 10:00.

Shade thought it would be a high-level ring warlock, but didn't expect, after opening the door, there was a group of people standing outside.

[The nine people are all ring warlocks, and the man closest to you has a higher level than your doctor friend. ]

That is to say, in order to reflect the importance attached to Shade who just joined the teaching, the Church of Dawn arranged a whole ring warlock squad for exorcism.

The squad Captain is a taciturn, but very active man. He calls himself Hulls Niedero and is a full-time exorcist of Dawn Church in the Major Sect district of Tobesque. After a brief introduction, the entire group went directly to the second floor.

Ned Mister Luo took out a somewhat rusted black iron key from his pocket, and after confirming with Shade that the lock was intact, he opened the door with the key.

"No, Mr. Hamilton, we'll enter half of the people first, and wait until it's safe to do so before you enter."

He pressed the door of the house and said to the young detective holding the cat, Seems like a really great experience.

The five men from the exorcist squad filed in, and it took a while for the others outside the door to enter.

Room 2 on the second floor is similar to Room 1, which was originally closed. The gas pipes and steam pipes were completely cut off, and the windows were all sealed with wooden boards. A layer of dust fell on the ground, and it was dusty when walking.

They first removed the wooden boards of the windows, and then the nine people clearly divided the labor to conduct inspections in each room.

Shade was asked not to walk around, but he was still able to see the general view of the house from the living room of room 2. It was empty without any furniture, but at least the decorative walls were preserved, and the room layout was exactly the same as Room 1 where Shade and Mia lived.

There is no trace of the mass suicide of the last owner, and the musty smell and dampness of the house have been relieved by opening the windows.

Looking around, there are no suspicious signs inside. So I asked in the heart, but only got a normal answer.

Church's Ring Warlock Squad This trip was prepared and they carefully inspected every room. And on the premise of confirming that Shade did not peek, close the door and use Mystic Art and incantation to exorcise, to ensure that even if there is Evil Spirit, it will never survive.

The whole exorcism lasted more than an hour and finally ended at half past eleven. And the "exorcist squad" replied:

"It's safe here, there's no evil here, so it can be used normally."

Shade is dubious about this conclusion, after all, the church also believes that There's nothing odd about the basement. Therefore, after the warlocks of the church left, they immediately returned to the second room where the door was opened.

"Echoes from the past!"

5 times in a row without hearing anything suspicious.

"Blood Echoes!"

Large swaths of faint blood-colored halos spread across the floor, walls, and ceiling, and the ferocity of the mass suicide several decades ago was greatly exceeded. It exceeded Shade's expectations. But the overlapping blood colors did not provide any effective clues. He barely recognized some bloody footprints, but he couldn't find the value of the footprints like a basement exploration.

Because of the "experience" in the basement, I finally tried to call out the ring of life and use the aura of [time and space] to illuminate each wall in turn.

This is a big project, and Shade has been busy for half an hour. Until Mia walked out of Room 1, meowing impatiently and asking for lunch, he couldn't find any hidden walls again.

"It's a good thing. If there are problems with each layer of the house, that's a strange thing."

Standing in the middle of the living room and looking at the empty room, after the worry disappeared, Indescribable joy emerged in my heart:
"The usable area of the house has increased a lot."

[But you and the cat can't use such a large space. ]

"Watching the house get bigger gives me a kind of heartfelt joy. You probably don't realize that in my hometown, it's almost impossible to have such a big house."

He stroked the walls of the room, considering the usable area of his home. This kind of feeling of being able to have a stable residence of one's own and being able to have a home is really important to foreigners.

Just looking at the dust from the walls and the footprints on the floor, I can't help but worry that as the house gets bigger, cleaning will become more troublesome.

Thinking of this, the image of the black-haired maid, Miss Tifa Serveit, suddenly jumped in front of her eyes. Immediately shook his head:

"That's someone else's maid. I probably need to pay to hire a housekeeper to come and clean the room every week. Maybe it's good to help with the laundry."

[Do I need to remind you that the one staring at you at the door is also someone else's cat. ]

Her voice is charming.

"It's not the same, how can a man and a cat be the same."

Shade in the heart said, only to be answered by laughter.

“Meow~”

Xiaomi squatted at the door obediently, flapping her tail, waiting for Shade to take it out to eat something delicious. The small orange cat knows very well that if it has not been cooking in the kitchen at this time, it means that it must go out to eat.

The cat hates going out, but likes to go out to eat.

After the free morning is over, the afternoon itinerary is already arranged. The Tobesque University Association advertised in the Steam Bird Daily, inviting members of the community to attend academic lectures.

Shade had planned to attend the lecture for a long time, so he set off after lunch. As for Mia, she continued to watch her house at No. This timid cat doesn't like going out, much less going out on a hot summer day. Shade made a basin of snow for it, and used another water basin and weights to keep it from being eaten by the cat.

Want to come to Mia to spend a cool afternoon.

This academic lecture is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Education of the Kingdom, Tobeysk City Hall and a small number of nobles, organized by the Federation of Tobesque Universities, and provided by the Delarion Royal Academy of Mechanical Engineering.

The academic lecture starts at 1:30 pm and lasts until 8:30 pm. It is divided into different sessions according to different subjects. In addition to the city's educators and scholars, scholars in the surrounding areas of the kingdom and even in Carson Rick appear. But generally speaking, this is not a large-scale event.

PS: Of course it won't be all right, but this branch hasn't arrived yet.
