Apart from recording the warden's whereabouts reported in newspapers and collecting some basic intelligence, Ronald did not do any other unnecessary things. It was enough for him to know which activities Bach Klitchens would attend.
.
In Burrenwich, Swift was also taking advantage of his wide social circle to inquire about the recent dances held in the city.
Since the party must be held and invited well in advance, Mr. Detective's responsibilities are more troublesome. After all, he still hopes to get this information 'accidentally'.
After all, at this time, the more actions you take, the easier it is to alert the enemy.
Both he and Swift understand this, so they are each collecting information in their own way, silently waiting for the best time to act.
But on Wednesday.
Ronald himself had one more thing to do.
——Nicole’s invitation.
He is not essentially a person who likes to break the contract.
So on Wednesday morning, he excerpted the record from the morning newspaper and decided to visit the investigator girl's home.
Even if it is used as a distraction in a stressful life, it is still good.
With this in mind, Ronald said goodbye to the landlady and left the boarding house.
The weather is sunny in Burrenwich today.
Although it is still the coldest period of the year, according to locals, the temperature will slowly start to rise starting next week until spring returns in about forty days.
It is worth mentioning that festivals in this world are also different from those on Earth.
They have festivals that span the year, but their importance is not high.
From what Ronald knew, at least in the country of Greed, there were three most important days of the year.
The first rain in late winter or early spring will be called the Rain Festival;
The last day of autumn, the Harvest Festival is used to celebrate the harvest;
And Her Majesty's birthday, which will change in the future.
Ronald only learned about this unique festival custom in another world through extra knowledge.
Among them are also the division of the twelve months of the year and the origin of the naming method.
Walking leisurely in Burrenwich alone.
Half an hour later, with more than an hour before noon, Ronald arrived at a residential street in Bailu District.
The address that Nicole told him before is right here.
Ronald searched one by one according to the house number, and soon came to the place where the investigator girl lived.
"If you feel it..."
"Ordinary?"
Looking at the house in front of him, Ronald sighed in a low voice.
The location of Nicole's private residence.
It is an ordinary street in the large residential area of Burrenwich.
Judging from the appearance of the house of the investigator girl, there is almost nothing distinctive about it. It is a simple two-story bedroom, an ordinary private garden, and a mailbox at the door as usual.
Of course you have to say you found something different.
That's probably the vegetation in Nicole's garden. The flowers, plants, trees and other things are well taken care of. Even in this kind of winter, they can still see the vitality contained in the branches.
Thinking back to the plant maze that Nicole created before, this is quite easy to understand.
With this thought in mind, Ronald stepped forward.
The fence was some distance away from the house, so he simply shouted:
"Nicole, are you home?"
"I'm Ronald!"
"..."
As Ronald's shout spread, Nicole's figure almost immediately appeared in the house. Through the window facing the street, she waved to Ronald in an exaggerated manner.
Immediately, the investigator girl disappeared behind the window.
After a few breathless moments, she opened the door and ran out of the house.
Rushing straight to Ronald, she opened the fence and invited Ronald:
"Come on, let me show you my house."
"Also, I have specially prepared a lot of delicious food today, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
After walking into the house under the leadership of Nicole, Ronald discovered that there was something special inside this house.
It's not the same as what I saw outside just now.
This house, which looks ordinary on the outside, has actually been transformed into a natural plant garden by Nicole on the inside. Rare and rare plants and vegetation are covered around the house, and bright flowers bloom in the house against the seasons.
If Nicole hadn't been covering it up, I might have been able to smell the fragrance inside the house even standing outside.
In addition, especially green vines are the most common.
They are almost everywhere in every corner of the room, and their climbing and entwining nature allows them to cover every location, almost turning this nice house into a maze of primitive jungles.
And what's even better is.
Nicole's aesthetics and layout skills are also very good.
Covered by various vegetation, she also made it a beautiful and free area necessary for daily activities.
——Amazing.
Noticing Ronald's surprised look, Nicole immediately puffed up her chest proudly:
"How about it?"
"This is my house. Isn't it very interesting to dress up?"
Ronald nodded:
"really......"
In Ronald's impression, the tree house of the protagonist and others in "The Lost World" can be compared with this place.
With emotion in his heart, Ronald immediately asked:
"So Nicole, you invited me over today just to enjoy these plants together?"
Facing Ronald's question, Nicole lowered her head slightly and her eyes flickered:
"Well......"
"Actually it's not."
As she spoke, the investigator girl patted the vines on the wall behind her with her hand.
Immediately, the door closed automatically under the pull of two vines, and all the locks of the surrounding windows were locked.
The sunlight was isolated from the outside of the house, and the flowers of a plant on the top of the room began to emit light, illuminating the space inside the house for the two of them.
Bang bang——
With a gentle pat of the palms, two wooden rattan chairs were pulled over by vines from another room, and then placed behind Ronald and the others, providing a place for the two of them to sit.
"Come, let's sit down first."
At this time, Nicole invited Ronald to sit down and said in a somewhat tangled tone:
"Ronald, someone was following you when I saw you that night, so it was not convenient to talk. Now let's talk seriously."
The investigator girl's tone at this moment was quite serious and she was no longer as lively as before.
After putting forward his own ideas, he sat down and waited for Ronald's reply.
However, deep in Nicole's eyes, you can still see that she is a little nervous now.
Faced with this situation, Ronald also straightened his posture and sat on the chair:
"It seems that you asked me here, Nicole, because you have something very important to say?"
"That's not what I meant to say!"
Seeing Ronald's reaction, Nicole naturally corrected her attitude.
"Ronald, how can a normal person wander on the street at that time, not to mention I also know your current job."
"If you come back from outside the city, it's impossible to walk to that street!"
Speaking of this, Nicole seemed to suddenly make some kind of decision.
Her tone suddenly softened, and her eyes began to look in other directions in the room:
"Ronald, tell me what happened."
"In the name of the Queen, I promise that I will keep your secret."
"And if you need help, as long as you are not busy with illegal matters, I will definitely be there."
