When Rosie returned to the rental house, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

As soon as he came out of the fireplace, he saw Sammy standing on the south window sill, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Sammy, what are you looking at? Are you so entranced?"

Seeing that she didn't even notice that he was back, Rosie stepped forward with some humor.

"Master? You're back!"

Sammy turned around and said something in surprise, then pointed at a tall, thin young man wearing a tall felt hat wandering outside the yard and said, "I'm looking at that Muggle. He came around several times in the afternoon. I don't know.

What are you looking for?"

Eh? Isn’t that Mr. Holmes?

Rossi recognized the identity of the young man at a glance. Could he be here to find me?

After turning this thought in her mind, she quickly walked out of the room, opened the courtyard door and said hello:

"Mr. Holmes?"

Hearing Rossi's voice, Sherlock turned around suddenly, with a puzzled and bewildered expression on his face.

"Your house is enchanted?"

"ah?"

Rosie, who was walking towards Sherlock, turned around in surprise. The three-story building was located there, and she didn't see any difference.

"I mean, it will affect people's consciousness and make people turn a blind eye?" Sherlock explained.

At this time, Sammy, who was following Rosie, said timidly: "Wizard's house can shield Muggles, isn't that a matter of course?"

Is it a Muggle banishing curse?

After hearing Sammy's words, Rosie immediately reacted.

So that’s it!

"I see."

Sherlock nodded slightly, and then said directly, "Miss Rossi, I have something to ask you for help. I wonder if you have time recently?"

Uh...he really came to see me.

After looking into Sherlock's bright eyes for two seconds, Rossi turned sideways and invited:

"Mr. Holmes, let's go inside and talk."

Returning to the room and sitting down on the sofa, she said in a calm voice to Sherlock, who was looking curiously at the room:

"Mr. Holmes, can you first tell me what it is?"

She added calmly: "If it is particularly dangerous, I can help you report it to the Ministry of Magic, or introduce some stronger people to help you."

Sherlock did not answer immediately. He pondered for more than ten seconds before speaking slowly:

"Not long ago, I assisted the disciplinary agency in handling a case."

"The case itself didn't have many problems, but when I was searching for evidence at the prisoner's house, I found this..."

He took out a black and white photo from his coat pocket and put it on the coffee table. In the picture, a stunningly beautiful lady was standing in front of an ancient castle with a bright smile.

Hmm...a picture of a beautiful woman?

Rosie glanced at it and was about to raise her eyes to ask, but heard Sherlock continue:

"This is Lady Margaret, the most famous dame in Brantania a few years ago and a social butterfly."

"Not long ago, her coachman went to the disciplinary agency to report the case, saying that when she and her servants were invited to visit a castle, they disappeared along with the castle..."

Go to a castle and disappear with the castle...

Hmm... Why does it sound like there is an inexplicable sense of sight?

Rossi was recalling in his mind when he heard the system ding.

"Clue Uncovered: Clues Leading to the Mysterious Disappearance of Haley Gregory."

The mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory was one of the unsolved cases that Rossi came up with after reading the pile of information in the Auror office.

Glancing at the highlighted indefinite task on the task panel, she subconsciously read its name:

"The mysterious disappearance of Haley Gregory..."

"Haley Gregory?"

Obviously he was talking about Margaret, but another name suddenly came out of Rosie's mouth, which made Sherlock couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, this was a case that happened more than a hundred years ago. Hailey Gregory's identity and background are very similar to this Margaret. She also went to a castle to visit, and also disappeared with the castle."

Rosie pondered and took over the topic, "And the person who called the police was also her coachman. According to the information, the coachman was lucky enough to escape because he slept on the carriage and did not enter the castle.

Because of the special status of the lady, the Ministry of Magic started investigating this case. But in the end, no clues were found."

"If you put it that way, it's not a special case..."

Sherlock unconsciously tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. After a moment, he collected his thoughts and said seriously, "Miss Rossi, I would like to ask you to assist me in investigating this case. No, to be more precise, to serve as

My assistant."

Will I be your assistant to investigate this case?

Hmm...this mission is obviously a high-risk one!

Don’t there often be scenes in novels where the person investigating a disappearance case also disappears due to the case?

Moreover, I just escaped from death and came out of the dungeon, and a mission came to my door right away? Isn’t this a coincidence?

Give up! Give up!

"Sorry, I don't have time."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After blurting out, Rossi felt that he had refused too simply. He picked up the water glass and took a sip embarrassedly, "By the way, since you are helping the disciplinary agency handle the case.

Why don't you ask someone from the disciplinary agency to investigate this discovery with you?"

"In fact, I know whether this photo was from Mrs. Margaret or a friend from the correctional agency who told me about it, but they don't seem to have any intention of doing more investigation on this case."

"Uh... they don't want to investigate this case, that's normal."

Rosie put down the water glass in her hand and paused for a moment on Lady Margaret's photo, "This case is very likely to be the same as the mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory, but the conclusion drawn by the Ministry of Magic on that case

Yes: The castle is hidden by the Loyalty Curse, and there is no way to investigate it. It is only a precautionary measure."

"Prevention?" Sherlock clicked his finger on the photo, "Is this the result of prevention?"

Rossi helplessly spread his hands:

"Due to the establishment of the disciplinary agency, many things that used to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic are now taken over by the disciplinary agency. Well... you should understand that the transfer of jurisdiction between the two authorities cannot be comprehensive. But no matter

No matter what, this case is almost impossible to solve."

"All right!"

Sherlock let out a long sigh.

Although he was sighing, from his eyes, Rossi didn't see the slightest intention to give up.

He reluctantly picked up the photo, put his tall felt hat under his arm, saluted, and then turned around to leave.

At this moment, Rossi inadvertently saw a string of text written on the back of the photo:

UK, London, Newcastle, Sait Castle.

???

London, England?

Isn't it only called by this name in the dungeon?

Wasn't it said that the disappearing castle was hidden by the Red Dank Loyalty Curse?

Is it possible that there is not just a simple parallel space relationship between the inside and outside of the copy, but also some deeper entanglement hidden there?

A moment of doubt flashed through Rosie's mind. At this time, Sherlock had already walked out of the room.
