It sounded very reasonable. Xing Ze thought it over in his mind again. He continued to pretend to be serious and listened to Jezebeth's plan.
Very different from Todd's previous plan, Jezebeth planned to sneak into Brichester College. The association had a meeting point there, located in an abandoned clock tower on the old campus, and the trucks from before came to unload the goods.
The place is in the bell tower.
Before that, she had sent people to investigate, and there was nothing wrong with the bell tower on the surface. But after several follow-ups and in-depth observations, Jezebeth believed that there was a space underground in the bell tower, which was similar to the Kimball family's.
The same as the house.
As for this, Jezebeth told Xing Ze not to worry. The important officials sent by the association had arrived in the morning, and the matter would be left to the professionals.
Xing Ze did not raise any objections, but only asked about the time of operation. Jezebeth told him that because time was urgent, they would set off in an hour.
She asked Xing Ze to prepare within this hour, and generously provided some potions that could restore magic power, which was exactly what Xing Ze needed now.
There was also a potion in his ring to restore magic power, but due to the depletion of magic power caused by the previous battle, he did not even have the magic power to turn on the Traceless Stretch Spell. After this period of time, although the magic power was restored to some extent, it was used for the previous
Apparition.
Now, there was a free potion, and of course he would not refuse it. However, due to the poisonous tea before, he was cautious and did not use the bottle of magic potion immediately.
Speaking of preparation, in fact, for Xing Ze, it is more like doing nothing. Basically all his belongings are in the ring, so there is no need to deliberately prepare anything. However, considering that he does not have much magic power now, Xing Ze plans to bring some firearms, although these weapons are not as powerful as magic.
, but it has considerable advantages in shot speed and continuity.
Thinking of this, he found the head chef and asked Todd if the three guns were still there. Fortunately, the three guns were put away by the head chef and hidden in the office.
"Follow me, I'll take you to get it." The head chef said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone. He lost the flattery just now and looked a little more strong.
The office has been cleaned. Emily and the few people who came after her have been very efficient. The carpet under the table has been replaced and the blood stains around it have been wiped clean. If no one cares about the whereabouts of these three people, I'm afraid the police will too.
It will only be treated as a missing person case.
Of course, this is impossible. When people are alive, they will have communication, and when they have communication, there will be people who will miss them. What's more, for an association manager like Todd, he will definitely see a lot of people on weekdays.
It was not Xing Ze's turn to worry about how to hide this matter. He picked one of the three pistols and checked the ammunition. The magazine was full of exorcism bullets. It was really a waste of money.
"Can you give me the other two magazines?" Xing Ze asked the chef.
The head chef didn't say much, picked up the other two guns and handed them over.
Xing Ze took off the magazine and stuck it on his waist, and asked again: "I just heard Todd say that during the plague last year, did you take the medicine they refined?"
When this matter was brought up, the head chef's face darkened slightly and he replied: "That medicine was not developed by Todd and the others at all."
"Oh, really? But I heard Roman say that they found the antidote from ancient alchemy manuals."
The head chef pushed the drawer back and replied impatiently: "Miss Jezebeth obviously found it."
"That's it." Xing Ze nodded, and he figured out one more thing.
After walking out of the office, Xing Ze went to the front desk of the restaurant and asked for a phone number. He first dialed the police station. After learning that Ai Li and Rui Ben had gone out to do errands, he wanted to hang up, but the police officer who answered the phone said he could call them.
Calls are forwarded to the University of Liverpool.
Xing Ze thought for a while and asked him to transfer the call. It took a while before the call was received by Aili.
The eldest lady's voice came from the other end, "I know what Frank is looking for."
"What a coincidence, I just figured it out too."
"Oh? Then you say it first."
"He came to Brichester to find a man named Douglas Kimball, or perhaps his nephew Thomas Kimball. There are clues that the book "Serpent's Teeth" is in Kimball's house.
"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Ellie replied with some confusion: "Kimball? I found out locally that Frank's team once went to investigate the Hawkins family, a lost family. They tried every means to keep this family in the United States.
A side branch of the family, that is, a member of the Vincecott family came back to inherit the old house at 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside."
"Wait, you just said it was the Hawkins family?"
"Yes, the Hawkins family started from the black slave business. They were once celebrities in Liverpool. But now they no longer have any legitimate descendants."
"That's not good to say."
"What's the meaning?"
"Douglas Kimball's grandfather came from the Hawkins family and was kicked out of the family, so he was erased from the family tree."
"Ah ha, it seems that everything has been connected. John wrote a letter, and he asked from Richard Gunter that "Snake's Teeth" was originally sold to a witch for a not-so-high price.
.He said the witch lived in Brichester all year round."
"The witch should be called Cady Kimball, a member of the Society of Unsolved Mysteries. She is also Douglas's grandmother. Has John gone to find out?"
"He went." The eldest lady replied, "But the Gaunt family's information is kept in the local library and is quite messy. He asked Edwin and Reko to help. It is estimated that they have been checked for a long time. There is little hope.
.So have you found Kimball’s family?”
"No. Douglas disappeared decades ago, and just recently, Thomas also disappeared."
"Snake man?" Ellie guessed.
"It is very possible that the Hawkins family has been cursed by the snake man..."
The eldest lady took over the conversation and said: "Because they wanted to open up the underground sewer for smuggling black slaves, but accidentally ran into a snake man."
Xing Ze was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Ellie had found out so many things in such a short period of time. "It seems that you have gained a lot there."
"This is just speculation at the moment. I have asked people to conduct further investigation to see if more clues can be found. In addition, I will ask Ribbon to search for the name Douglas Kimball and see if
Where he was last seen."
“Yes.”
"I haven't heard anything. What happened?"
"That village was a lair of the snake people, and it has now been destroyed. Like the surviving snake believers, I fled to other places. You can ask Ribbon to go to Telford Police Station to ask for details."
"I will. So, that's it?"
"That's it." Xing Ze paused for a while, then said: "Pay attention to safety."
