Chapter 79 Thinking

"Donald, meet here at 9 o'clock tomorrow, and it's not for the firm. This is a new commission... Your condition is a bit strange today. Didn't sleep well last night?"

Before leaving, Sherlock handed over a photo with the name of a certain street and a cafe.

"Well, something happened last night... I just finished translating all the text today. Are you going to study it?"

Donald has been in the past two weeks since he joined the company. Even though he deliberately slowed down his translation time, he still translated all the content today.

Although the text order is chaotic, Donald can roughly be sure that what Sherlock has in his hand is a talent formula. He has been preparing various materials and utensils these days, and people are a little dazzled.

Compared to Donald's state of having no money and no way, Sherlock is obviously at ease in purchasing materials.

Therefore, after the translation today, Donald thought he must have to spend some time completing the final steps, but he did not expect to accept a new commission.

"It was originally planned, but this commission was special. A noble lady asked us to check his husband. The letter said that there was someone outside, you know."

Take out the unsigned letter from your pocket, which says: Detective Swift received it.

“This is… very special?”

It is normal for aristocrats to have women outside. The nobles in Puston City will almost participate in various "gatherings" as long as they are of a certain age. This is a social trend. The main contents of the gossip tabloids are in this regard. If you want to say it is special, Donald really didn't see it.

"It's not that he is looking for a woman outside, but that this noble himself is very special. There is a report in the Secret News that one of the recent disappearances of a girl has a close relationship with him. Well... it should be said that it is one-sided. This nobleman is fiercely pursuing Miss Madeleine Kirk. You should know that the man in a secret love will pay attention to everything about the other party, no matter how big or small."

Sherlock is obsessed with the disappearance of the girl. The news that she had previously revealed to Marcelo Blaze has become popular recently. In order to thank him, he sent a whole bag of information.

Most of the girls' disappearances are summed up from beginning to end, and now they are piled on the table, and Donald has to clean up later.

"Don't the nobleman have a wife? It's unreasonable to pursue Miss Madeleine Kirk. Bigamy is illegal, oh... He is a nobleman, not afraid, but can his wife bear it?"

Although the sexual concepts in this era are quite open, they are still quite conservative in monogamy. Men can have mistresses outside. Although the woman cares, she often chooses to remain silent. After all, it is still a patriarchal society at present.

But if a man takes his mistress home one day, it will be different. No matter how easy-going the lady is, she cannot tolerate this behavior, because it means that the man is determined to divorce her and marry her again. This noble gentleman's pursuit of other girls so passionately makes everyone know and conveys this meaning undoubtedly.

"How can I bear it? The smell of gunpowder can be smelled between the lines in this letter, so she came to us. Recently, this noble man's life is not uncomfortable. All we have to do is take a few photos, which must be special enough, enough...exciting. It can be used for property distribution in the future when divorced. The wife's offer is 10 pounds. If the photo is satisfied, it will be added."

Sherlock was very excited.

**

After Donald left the office, he waited at the cafe he had agreed with Marcelo Blaze yesterday.

Subconsciously, I remembered what happened in the early morning again.

Thinking gradually became his habit.

The deal with Infinita did not bring him a sense of security, and the chronic poison in his body became a new time bomb.

This is a transaction that was unstoppable when you were desperate, so that you could retain some memories and not be forced to forget them and become a puppet at the mercy of others.

Leave the inheritance to them for their own lives?

There is no contract and no witnesses, how can Donald believe it?

This transaction was unfair from the beginning. Donald was at an absolute disadvantage and had no guarantee. Life and death were in the other party's thoughts. This feeling was very uncomfortable, just like when he saw Ronan collapse in flesh and blood on the street.

He had to find a way to change this situation, at least he could not die so much by Infinita. He had to find a way to get rid of the poison in his body.

To find a way to break the deadlock...that cup of tea last night!

This is the conclusion that Donald came to after repeated consideration. The effect of the Mengxu potion is not something he can unlock now. Before going to bed, he drank two liquids, tea, and meditation-enhancing potion.

He clearly remembered that his mind suddenly became clear after drinking tea.

What Cannon Antoine gave him was not ordinary tea.

This man is the key!

"Mr. Grant...Mr. Grant?"

The call in my ears made Donald suddenly come back to his senses, and Marcelo Blaze arrived.

"Sorry, I'll be stunned for a while, today's night is good."

After looking at the dark night outside, Donald regretted it after saying that, pinched his nose awkwardly.

In this era, nights in cities are not good.

"It's me who should apologize. Suddenly, the newspaper was working overtime, so I was one step late."

Marcelo put a folder on the desktop, and the agreed time he made was late. No matter what the reason was, it could not change the fact that he was rude.

"What's wrong? Can you share it with me? I'm a detective assistant and I'm still very curious about some things."

After taking a sip of bitter coffee, Donald recently began to fall in love with this bitter taste.

I feel bitter in my heart, and fight with poison.

"What else can it be? The girl's disappearance case, ah... I have to change my name now. In the past 20 years, the worst serial girl's disappearance case in Puston has appeared two more victims tonight. After the family called the police, it spread immediately. The police station could not block the news at all."

It has been the third week since the first disappearance case. Not only has a girl not been retrieved, but one of the bodies was not found. Now all girls in Puston City are in danger, and there are even a large number of female students taking leave in the university, which is enough to prove the panic caused by this incident.

"The case has not been solved yet, so the murderer's method is too good, right?"

"The murderer's target selection has no characteristics, such as tall, short, fat, thin, and all kinds of appearances. He commits crimes in irregularities. This is the most difficult case to solve, because even the murderer doesn't know who he will kidnap next, and the targets are all random choices!"

As a person who is directly involved in the case in another sense, Marcelo also has cold lips and teeth when talking about the disappearance of a girl.

Is it really a random choice?
