After searching around to no avail, Xing Ze thought of a way. He took out the rose hairpin from the ring, played with it in his hand, and then asked each girl's name.
Soon, he noticed that a girl's expression changed when she saw the hairpin in his hand. Although she quickly lowered her head after noticing Xing Ze's gaze.
"What's your name?" Xing Ze walked up to the girl and asked.
"Lily." She whispered back, her head shrinking back into her body.
Dedicated to my beloved L. Xing Ze turned to Oksina and signaled, "It's her."
"Just one?"
"Just one."
Oksina knocked on the door with her long cigarette stick, "Okay, girls, everyone else, get out, get out quickly."
After a burst of noise, the room fell silent again. John cast a silencing charm and walked out of the room to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
The girl named Lily began to take off her clothes skillfully.
"No," Xing Ze waved his hand, "I'm not here to do this."
Lily stopped moving and froze in place with some confusion.
Xing Ze picked up the clothes from the ground and gave them to her, "Put on your clothes, sit down, and eat whatever you want. I just want to confirm something."
"I think you should ask Oksina about things. She is always well-informed." Lily said, sitting on the sofa with some hesitation.
"No, only you can answer this."
The girl lowered her head and put one foot on the sofa. "Anyway, someone has paid, so there is no loss to me. What do you want to ask?"
"This," Xing Ze put the rose hairpin on the table, "Bill from the Candy House, do you know him?"
She didn't even look at the hairpin and said coldly: "Why are you asking him? I'm not familiar with him, I've only met him once or twice."
Xing Ze stared at the girl, his sharp eyes making her feel very uncomfortable. She twisted around and asked, "Do you have a cigarette?"
"Wait a minute." Xing Ze stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door and asked John for a pack of cigarettes. Then he took out one and handed it to Lily. Flames rose from the top of the wand and lit the cigarette.
The girl took a deep breath and blew out the cigarette from her slightly raised mouth. She glanced at the magic wand and said: "When I was a child, someone performed a performance for me with a magic wand. It was very beautiful. I have always dreamed that I would be a magic wand."
wizard."
"In my opinion, there is no difference between Muggles and wizards." Xing Ze put away his wand, "It's like a person and his own shadow."
"Then who is the one who was stepped on?" Lily asked, but she didn't want an answer. "I'm really not familiar with him, but I only took over his business a few times, and he always brought me food when he came.
Serve some candies. It’s really fun, isn’t it? I’m not a kid anymore.”
"Don't lie to me." Xing Ze said in a deep voice, with a strong threat in his tone.
Lily shrank back from the sofa and smoked silently. It wasn't until the cigarette was halfway through that she summoned up the courage to ask: "Why are you asking about him? He just sells candy, and his shop is on Granning Street. You
Why do you come here to inquire about me?"
"He's not in the store, and no one knows where he went."
"Then how the hell do I know where he is? Damn it, I'm not here for the hell. If you don't do anything, then let me out."
The girl jumped up from the sofa like a cat, took her clothes and hurried towards the door.
"I have a letter he wrote to you. I found it in his store. Did you know that his store was smashed?" Xing Ze took out the love letter. "It was smashed into pieces and nothing was left."
Lily stopped and looked at the letter in Xing Ze's hand. She trembled slightly and stood there thinking for a long time until the cigarette burned to ashes.
"Maybe Oksina doesn't know about you, but I think you have told others about it." Xing Ze put the letter on the table, "I will ask the girls here one by one, one after another."
Believe it or not, I could spend all day here and there would be nowhere to go."
She swallowed, walked back, poured herself a glass of wine, and took a long sip before saying: "He...he did have a good relationship with me, but he dumped me. He lied to me and said he had collected a sum of money.
, you can get me out of this damn place soon."
"Then?"
"Ha, then? What a fucking rotten person." Lily cursed loudly, "He is just like other men. He talks nonsense. He hasn't been here for half a month."
"Have you been to his candy house?"
"Why am I going somewhere? I'm not a child." Lily said with disdain, "That's all I can tell you."
"Did he say anything about Eric?"
"who?"
"Dunn Eric."
"No." Lily finished the glass of wine, "Well, I mean, it's impossible for me to remember what the guests said, right? Some of the guests were just talking nonsense after drinking."
"I understand." Xing Ze nodded, "Would you like another drink?"
Lily handed the wine glass to Xing Ze, "So, what do you want to do? Why waste your time on a candy store owner."
She took Xing Ze's hand to get the wine glass, "I can make you comfortable, I'm good at this. I can relax your tense nerves..." The girl put Xing Ze's hand on her chest, but
Didn't succeed.
"I know you can, Lily." Xing Ze stretched out his other hand to take the wine glass, "It's just that you look very nervous now, your words are trembling, your eyes are wandering, and you don't even dare to look at me."
"I...I drank a little too much. Just...when I first came here, I picked up a guest and drank some with him."
"Hmm." Xing Ze nodded, "When was the last time Bill came?"
"I think it was August. I...I don't remember it too clearly. Have you...did you finish asking?" Lily became emotional, "Why do you keep pestering him?"
Xing Ze took out the two tickets from the ring, "Because he is different from other men, I think he wants to leave with you."
Lily let go of Xing Ze's hand and took the two tickets tremblingly. Then her eyes turned red, and then she collapsed like a collapse. Finally, she started wailing hysterically.
"He said... said... he would come. I... I know he won't... won't lie to... me."
…
The door was opened and Xing Ze walked out of the room. He took a long breath and returned the cigarette to John.
"For so long, I thought you were having sex with her." John took out a cigarette and lit one, "She said that?"
"said."
"is that useful?"
Xing Ze patted a diary on John's chest, "Guess whose diary this is?"
John raised his eyebrows and said, "Bill?"
"No, Bill is a serious person, he doesn't keep a diary. Naya, the two of them are friends, the best kind."
"Merlin's Beard." John took the diary in surprise, "Have you read it?"
"Yes, it's not like the smart little bird didn't find anything. The Oil Gang rented an abandoned distillery in London, and the top brass of the gang would go there regularly for parties."
John's eyes lit up and he took a long drag on his cigarette. "I don't believe you are that crazy anymore. I mean, you are indeed a lunatic. But you have always been right about this."
"I'm going to tell Tonks and have the Auror office send someone there."
"Hey." John stopped Xing Ze, "How did you get her to say it?"
"True love." Xing Ze replied sadly, "Love will always create miracles, even for those humble people. In addition, thank you Bill."
