Shade's physical fitness was too strong, so the other person was knocked down. The stranger who was knocked down by Shade screamed in pain, and almost fell to the ground if he hadn't been pulled back. This was not because the other party intended to blackmail Shade.
, but the other party’s age is really too big.
"Feel sorry."
Shade raised his head slightly to apologize, but the old man he bumped into shook his head and said it was nothing.
Shade's pupils shrank slightly. The old gentleman in front of him who seemed not to want to attract other people's attention was actually an acquaintance. It was he who had only thought of it an hour ago, the Kasenlik linguist Lu Lu who lived on the fourth floor of the West Carl Hotel.
Professor Al Higgins.
Without showing his inner surprise, Shade helped Professor Higgins pick up the fallen hat and continued walking forward.
【Aren’t you curious?】
"Of course I'm curious..."
Although he said this, Shade still did not turn around:
"Help me take a look and see if he has stopped at the door of Warehouse No. 18."
【No, he continued to move forward.】
"Really cautious."
Shade turned right and entered the alley connecting to Punjab Street. He stood in the alley and counted 30 numbers. When he walked out of the alley, Professor Higgins could no longer be seen on the street.
I stopped the little boy selling newspapers and bought a copy of this morning's "Sikal Morning News". Then I went into the tobacco shop on the street, thinking about buying some tobacco leaves for the priest that could be smoked in a pipe, as a thank you for the thaumaturgy he provided.
.By the way, you can also make an appointment with Priest Augustus this Sunday.
This Sunday, Shade will go with Sister Devlin to meet the boy who is said to be able to see through death. After meeting Priest Augustus, Luvia can use two or three coins to do divination.
Did Shade really meet the Chosen One that day?
Although the suspects are still limited to three people, it also means that we can know whether the current guess is correct.
After all, they don't have the extra coins to test them one by one.
While shopping in the tobacco store, Shade's eyes were still observing the warehouse No. 18 diagonally opposite through the shop window. Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, Professor Higgins pressed the button with almost the same movement as Shade just now.
Putting on his hat, he ducked out of the warehouse door, then leaned against the wall and walked toward the street without looking back.
This proved that Shade's guess was correct. Professor Higgins was also a man with gray gloves. Compared with more than 20 minutes ago, he only had a black suitcase in his hand.
"The delivery is just a suitcase? What can be put in it?"
Shade thought in surprise. He stopped chatting with the shopkeeper about the earthquake, paid off the tobacco, took the newspaper and walked out of the shop. At this time, Professor Higgins had gone far, but if Shade wanted to pursue
, you can still catch him before he gets on the carriage or turns at the next street intersection.
【So, do you want to chase?】
This time Shade didn't say he wasn't interested. He didn't want to get into trouble by touching the goods before the real goods appeared. But now the goods had appeared, and it seemed to be just a suitcase.
He was indeed curious about what it was, but he was still weighing whether following it would get him into other trouble.
"However, there is no information in that pen. How did Professor Higgins know the location and time of the warehouse?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shade still chose to follow him. If the professor went straight to the train station and left the Kingdom of Delarian, then Shade would pretend that he knew nothing. But if the professor returned to the hotel, then Shade would
De will probably decide based on the situation whether he wants to see what is in that suitcase.
"It is now four o'clock in the afternoon. No matter what happens, we must leave Fort Midhill before five-thirty. In this way, we can go to Quill Street at six-thirty, ask Dorothy out for dinner, and tell Lacey
It’s about the quantity of goods in Ya’s warehouse.”
Shade made the arrangements, so he walked forward quickly and caught up with Professor Higgins.
In fact, for this Kasenlik agent, the safest way was to immediately take the suitcase and return to the Kasenlik United Kingdom at the southern foot of the Rommel Mountains. But he did not choose to do this.
I really returned to the Sikal Hotel.
Shade deliberately lingered for five minutes before entering the Sikal Hotel. He thought that the professor had returned to his room on the fourth floor, but he did not expect that the professor was actually sitting in the corner on the first floor with the suitcase and a strange man.
chat.
The stranger looked to be about thirty years old, with blond hair sticking close to his scalp, and his skin was very white, but seemed to be unhealthy white. He was wearing a somewhat dirty black coat, and his boots were stained with mud.
When Shade saw the other person for the first time, red blood energy rose from the other person's body almost immediately, and then condensed into an even cute little blood-red bat symbol on the other person's head.
Only Shade could observe this scene. He was slightly surprised, and then he realized that this was a new effect that the vampire god added to his [Echo of Blood] at the last cocktail party, that is, it could
Easily identify vampires.
"This identification method is really simple."
Shade glanced at the little bat symbol floating above the other person's head again, and then walked to the counter to ask for a drink. Of course, the shop owner, Mr. Taylor, still remembered "Mr. John Watson" who helped him deal with the police, and he was very familiar with it.
Say hello to him and recommend today's special wine to him.
At this time, Shade also roughly understood how Professor Higgins learned the information about the warehouse.
Whether vampires are an undead race is still controversial in the circle of magicians, but they are indeed good at psychic abilities. So, if Professor Higgins can find a way to break into the police station and steal the pen, of course
You can also think of ways to get vampires to help channel corpses.
"Speaking of which, the deputy police chief did say that on the night the pen was stolen, the body that was shot and killed on the fourth floor was also moved. It turned out to be a psychic. It's really interesting. Could it be that this professor, through living
Did the uncle and nephew on the fourth floor come into contact with vampires? Or are the Gray Gloves themselves connected to the local vampire species?"
Speculating in his mind, Shade sat at the counter, chatting with the shop owner Mr. Thales about the earthquake that happened in the mountainous area yesterday. He planned to wait until Professor Higgins finished chatting with the strange vampire, and he could use
【Echoes from the Past】Try your luck and try to eavesdrop on their conversation.
But the conversation between the professor and the vampire was not harmonious, and after a while, the two had an argument. The pale man, who looked very depressed, stood up suddenly and said loudly:
"This is not possible. You promised to give me 200 pounds! If you don't pay now, you can't leave!"
