Not long after hanging up the phone on Xing Ze, Ribbon called the eldest lady. He went to the real estate company and found the phone number left by Josh Vincecott. After talking, he figured out Frank
What the hell are they doing?
"There are treasures hidden under the old Hawkins house? Countless gold coins?" Ellie confirmed on the phone.
"That's right. Well, a woman who called herself Julia went to the United States to find him and told him the secret."
"Oh, can you believe this kind of thing?"
Ribbon laughed dryly on the other end of the phone and said: "The Vincecott family has been in quite a difficult situation in recent years. Several businesses are facing bankruptcy, so they continue to make money that can be turned over."
"I understand. So Josh came to England and officially inherited this old house. In other words, that old house is most likely where Frank's team had an incident."
"That's right." Ribbon replied, "In addition, he also told me the names of other people in the team. I'm going to the University of Liverpool now, and I'll tell you more about it when I get there."
"Okay. Did he tell Frank what they came to the University of Liverpool for?"
"That's not true. Frank just told him An Anxin and other news, and would report to him if he found anything. In addition, he also selected a notary to supervise Frank and his party. A man from Nilgai Garner
."
"Nilgai Garner? Do you know his information?"
"I have sent someone to investigate. The law firm refuses to provide us with more detailed information. We need to go through some procedures and documents. But it's okay. Just let the people above communicate with us."
"very good."
After hanging up the phone, Ellie returned to the library. She wanted to see how Scott was doing with his research on sewers. According to all the current clues, 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside, was also
That old house in Hawkins should be home to a snake-man, and there is a high probability that the snake-man's lair is over there.
But without further evidence to support it, this is just a speculation. In addition, Liverpool's underground sewers are complicated, and the waterway map compiled by Scott will be of great use. At least if they want to enter the waterway without getting lost, or if they want to try their best to
If possible, eliminate as many snake people as possible.
Looking at Scott scribbling back and forth on the notes and map, Ellie found a gap and asked: "How is it? Is there any good news?"
Scott pushed up his reading glasses, pointed at the map on the table with the pen in his hand and said: "It has been basically determined that No. 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside County, if this place is the center.
Then a lot of things can be explained clearly.”
The old man picked up his notes and opened them to Ellie, "Look at the water channel above, which basically covers most of Liverpool. You said that these things are related to the old record gang. From the perspective of the boundary of the incident, it is very
It’s in line with the business scope of the Old Record Gang.”
Ellie picked up the note and looked at it carefully, then asked: "So you think their nest should be at 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside?"
"I think so. Remember that shipping company?"
"uh-huh."
"I compared it and found that the missing employees were probably robbed by snakes. You see, there is a wide underground waterway leading to the shipping company. It is enough for two people to walk side by side."
"It seems necessary to visit the old Hawkins house."
As soon as he heard that he was going to the old Hawkins house, Scott immediately shouted: "I'll go with you."
"If your guess is correct, Scott." Ellie refused unceremoniously, "then you should know what this means. A helpless old man like you can only become a burden."
"But you need me, miss. I have roughly memorized these waterways in my mind, and no one knows them better than me. I can make sure you don't get lost, otherwise, you can only wander around down there."
"Give me the information and I can remember it."
Seeing that Ellie refused to take him away, Scott whispered angrily: "I spent most of my life investigating these damn things, you can't just block me out of the truth."
"You might die from this, Scott, that place is quite dangerous even for a wizard."
"People will die, Miss. Instead of letting me die alone in that moldy apartment, I would rather find the truth before I die. Let me go, and you don't have to worry about me then. I won't hurt you.
." Scott begged, with a sense of helplessness and sincerity in his tone.
It seems that for this old man, the rest of his life is no longer so important, and untangling the obsessions and fears in his heart is the most important thing.
Ellie sighed and said, "If you insist on doing this, I won't object. But this time let's go to the base first and see what it's like there."
"Everything is at your discretion, boss." Scott grinned, "I promise you won't regret it."
"Do you have a weapon?" Ellie asked in a low voice.
"Yes, there is a gun in my apartment. It's a little older, but it's in good condition."
Ellie took out her car keys and handed them to Scott, "Remember to bring your gun when you go back. How much time do you need?"
"In an hour at most, I'll just mark out some possible waterways."
"That's it." Ellie nodded, "Then we will meet at 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside."
After saying that, Ellie walked out of the library. Just as she was waiting for Riben to arrive, a stranger walked over in a hurry.
There was an aura of violence on the person who came, which made Ellie summon the wand to her hand unconsciously. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the person who came, getting ready for a fight.
The visitor stopped a few steps away from her and said, "Miss Nix?"
Hearing this title, Ellie relaxed a little. She didn't reply, but continued to stare at the visitor coldly.
"Yuri, Xing Ze asked me to come." The visitor explained.
"Xing Ze?" Ai Li asked uncertainly.
"That's right, Xing Ze. Are you Miss Nicks?" Yuri confirmed again.
"I am. But I don't believe you were sent by Xing Ze."
"Oh, he expected what you would say. Please look at this." Yuri took out a letter from his pocket, and the letter flew up immediately after seeing Ellie. Fortunately, there was no one in the aisle at the moment.
The letter was fixed in the air by Ellie's wand. She reached out to take it and looked at it. The handwriting was indeed Xing Ze's, and it was also engraved with the Round Table's logo.
This logo was designed by Recco, and these stationery papers can only be owned by members of the Round Table. It seems that the person in front of me is worthy of trust.
The eldest lady put away the letter and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"I brought news from Emberhead Village. We'd better find a place where we can chat."
