Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man with a worried look on his face.
The other party was dressed in ordinary clothes, long trousers and short-sleeved leather shoes. There were stains on the shoes, and the clothes had not been washed for a long time. Not only were they salt-stained, they also had a strange smell. They looked a bit like a homeless man.
After seeing Goethe open the door, the other party took a step back and looked at Goethe carefully.
After a moment, he asked tentatively.
"Hello, is this the 'Folklore Research Institute'?"
"Are you Goethe Winchester?"
"I am, you are?"
Goethe frowned slightly and looked at the other person.
There was no impression of the other party in his original memory, but he had seen the other party, just last night at Green High School. The other party was a member of the crowd of onlookers, but there was nothing special about him, so he didn't pay too much attention.
However, the sudden appearance of the other party today surprised Goethe.
At the same time, be secretly vigilant.
This was once a professional habit.
It is impossible for people to step into a puddle at the same time, nor to bump into the same person twice for no reason.
Even though the surprised words of Shosta came from behind.
"Mr. Joe Keir?"
As he spoke, the enthusiastic police officer walked over.
"How are you doing lately?"
"Don't worry, we are still tracking the disappearance of little Keyer."
"We will definitely find his whereabouts!"
Shosta's ashamed tone was full of determination.
"Thank you, Officer Shosta."
"I just want to talk to Mr. Winchester right now."
The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly indifferently.
"That's good..."
"We'll be back later."
As Shosta said, he lowered his head and hurried out.
Officer An habitually remained silent and walked out. However, when passing by Goethe, he glanced at Goethe again and then continued walking out.
"Troublesome woman."
Goethe commented secretly in his heart, but did not show anything on his face.
Even if he used the vision of [Raven Spirit] last night to see with his own eyes the other party threw a grenade into Old Barry's car.
Of course, Goethe would not leave things alone for uncertain factors like Old Barry.
However, Goethe never expected to see such a scene.
To be honest, it was a bit beyond his expectation.
Even though Goethe had the same idea as the other party, this also made Goethe more and more unwilling to have any entanglement with the other party.
Because Goethe knew very well that women are inherently troublesome.
And a woman like An?
It is trouble within trouble.
Goethe didn't like trouble.
"What can I do for you?"
When Joe Keir entered the room, Goethe asked.
Although the 'Folklore Research Institute' is mainly based on self-interest, it will also use its professional knowledge to answer questions for some people and get some rewards - sometimes, the rewards are quite generous, at least in the case of 'his' adoptive father Wen Che
When Stern was there, the income of the Folklore Institute was quite considerable, otherwise, he would not be able to afford to attend Green High School, one of the best in the city.
With the memory still alive, Goethe received Joe Keir with ease.
And about the impression of the other party?
Goethe also had a rough guess.
Naturally, the other party appeared here to look for his son - last night he saw him identifying the murderer, and today's newspapers and news reported on Barry, which ignited the other party's hope.
As for why the other party appeared in Green High School?
Naturally, it's because the other party's son should be a student of Green High School.
Or a graduate.
And then, the other party's words confirmed this.
"I hope you can help me find little Keir."
"He was a twelfth grader at Green High School. When he graduated last year, he went camping with four friends and then disappeared. I called the police at the time, but a year later, nothing was found."
"I've tried using private detectives and psychics, but to no avail."
"No clues can be found for the former."
"And the latter?"
"They are all liars."
"But you are different!"
"You are the true master!"
"I saw everything that happened at Green High School last night. Not only can you talk to the undead, but you can also control the 'Blood Crow'. You will definitely be able to help me find little Keyer!"
The more the other party talked, the more excited he became.
There was pleading on his face.
Tears were shining in his eyes.
The other party wears a wedding ring on her ring finger. It is made of platinum and inlaid with a 50-point diamond. Even if it is stained with dust, it still maintains its proper luster and brightness. And under close observation, although the other party's clothes are stained,
But they are not cheap.
At least, the leather shoes are handmade calfskin.
There is no doubt that this is a father who has made himself into a mess in order to find his son.
For such fathers, Goethe is willing to lend a helping hand.
After all, he is poor.
A fortune of 123 yuan cannot be called wealthy.
Even if you don’t need to pay rent, you still need to eat and drink.
Based on yesterday's prices, Goethe knew that 123 yuan would not last long.
"I'm willing to help."
"But I can't take the initiative to talk to the undead. Likewise, I can't control the 'Blood Crow'."
Goethe emphasized.
He cannot take the initiative to talk to the undead, naturally to prevent someone from asking him to communicate with the undead in the future.
But can't control the 'Blood Crow'?
Of course it’s because ‘Blood Crow’ is a vengeful ghost. What does it have to do with him, Goethe Winchester?
"Thank you, thank you."
"As long as you help me find little Keyer, I will thank you with all my heart!"
Joe Coyle said his thanks while wiping his tears.
At the same time, never forget your promise.
Goethe responded with a smile to such a promise.
He likes such kind people.
If the price is clearly marked, what is the difference between it and those scammers?
He is a serious ‘folklorist’!
"Please tell me in detail about little Keir."
Goethe said formally.
"good!"
Joe Coyle immediately started talking.
Goethe listened carefully.
Generally speaking, little Keyer is an ordinary high school student. Although his mother died young, his family is very wealthy, he studies well, is good at sports, and is very handsome.
Moreover, when I was in the eleventh grade, I received an invitation from the top 100 prestigious school "Jinqiao College" and could enter the university without taking the exam.
It is conceivable that if he had not disappeared later, little Keyer would have been an extremely perfect life template.
"Then who was camping with him?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"Rudy, little Kyle's best friend, and his girlfriend Aiman."
"Gate, Rudy's best friend, and his girlfriend Jenny."
"They are camping on the outskirts of Star City."
Joe Coyle said.
"Where are they now?"
"After the incident happened, they called the police immediately and notified me. They are four good children. Before they left Star City for college, they even came to visit me. However, they could see that little Keyer was missing.
There is some disconnect.”
Joe Coyle sighed.
"They're not in Star City?"
"right!"
"They were admitted to universities in different cities!"
Immediately, Goethe frowned.
The fact that the four of them are not in Star City is not good news for Goethe.
Although he is good at using his 'body' to solve crimes, and he is sure that if there is a problem with these four people, they can confirm it as soon as possible, but in Goethe's original plan, except for the one week of adapting to the new identity, which was broken in advance, Goethe did not intend to change the rest of the plan.
He intends to complete the [Main Mission] within the best time and search for [Bloody Honor].
This kind of back and forth was definitely not within the scope of Goethe's plan.
Especially four people and four cities.
Even if we are looking at a modern city in front of us.
Because Goethe would never fly.
Ever since a fellow ace in his hometown encountered an air crash, Goethe refused all air transportation. He would never touch an airplane until he truly ignored the dangers in the air.
But by the same token, Goethe didn't want to give up his income.
So, he took out the key from his pocket.
This is a single key with a black braided cord threaded through it.
It is the key to the door lock of the 'Folklore Research Institute'.
"Do you believe in divination?"
Goethe asked.
"Divination?"
"I...believe."
Joe Keir, who had been deceived by a psychic before, was about to refuse immediately, but thinking about the news he saw today, he finally chose to believe in Goethe for once.
【Ending】!
Goethe used the key in his hand as a pendulum.
'Is little Keir still alive?'
Counter rotation.
Represents death.
'Is little Kyle's death related to Rudy, Ayman, Gate, and Jenny?'
Rotate forward.
It represents affirmation.
'Is little Keir's body near where he was camping?'
The key is still and does not move.
Obviously, divination is impossible.
In other words, it's not accurate enough.
Goethe immediately changed his question.
'Have Rudy, Ayman, Gate, and Jenny moved the body?'
Rotate forward.
Goethe raised his eyebrows, because he was not asking a single person, but everyone tried divination, and the answer was yes every time.
In other words, it was only after the four people disposed of the body of little Keir that they called the police and notified Joe Keir. Only in this way would the police search be fruitless.
Moreover, it is definitely not a place where four people have a lot to do with each other, such as a home or a garage.
The police will definitely search these places.
A location that the four of them can reach without being searched by the police?
Where will that be?
The range was a bit large, and Goethe couldn't make an accurate guess for a while.
After pondering for a few seconds, Goethe looked up at Joe Kyl, who looked expectant, and shook his head regretfully.
"Sorry, little Keyer is most likely dead."
"With Rudy, Aiman, Gate, Jenny."
"At least they touched the body."
"As for where is little Keir?"
"It's most likely an inconspicuous place between their camping trip and their home."
Goethe said softly.
Joe Coyle sat there blankly.
His eyes turned red again.
"Can divination be wrong?"
Joe Keir asked unwillingly.
"meeting."
"These are just what I divined."
"And the probability of a divination error is very high."
Goethe was very candid.
Divination is not 100% accurate, many factors can interfere with divination.
If it were in the 'anchor world', Goethe even doubted that the spirit would not move even if it vibrated.
Listening to Goethe's sincere explanation, Joe Keir nodded.
Yesterday's events, this morning's newspapers, and news reports all made him choose to believe in Goethe.
"Understood."
"Thank you again for your divination."
"If it is as you said, I will fulfill my promise as promised."
Saying these words, Joe Keir took out his wallet, put all the money in the wallet on the table, and turned around to leave.
Looking at the other person's back, Goethe frowned.
A familiar feeling is appearing on the other party.
"Joe, Mr. Keir, I have a piece of advice -"
"When in trouble, stay calm."
Goethe reminded the other party.
Seeing as the other party took out hundred dollar bills.
At a glance, it's at least 2,000 yuan.
"Okay, thank you."
After a pause, Joe Kerr opened the door and left without paying attention to Shosta and Ann at the door.
The two of them saw Joe Kyle's back disappearing at the top of the stairs, and then returned to the room.
"Awesome! So profitable!"
When Shosta saw the money on the table, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
