Mystery: The Star Key

Chapter 73: additional commission

UPDATE: "Why?" Jennings asked.

"I don't know." Igna shook his head.

"Can't our great astrologers see why the lady suddenly visited 221b?" Jennings.

"I can't see it." Igna smiled helplessly and said, "Divination is not omnipotent."

"Then let's stay tomorrow and see why she came to you," Jennings suggested.

"Huh?" Igna looked at Jennings in confusion, "Why?"

"Because you seem to want to know why she came to you suddenly than avoiding this lady." Jennings smiled and sat on the chair opposite Igna.

"Shellin, what kind of lady is that?" Jennings propped her chin up and looked at Igna with a curious smile, "I can see that you care about her very much."

"..."

Ignat subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say so.

Instead, he searched for the wording earnestly, and said sincerely: "Maybe I care about her a little bit. When I saw such an invention at the Machinery Fair, I respected the inventor who invented that locomotive. My admiration was even greater when it was a young lady."

"Miss Melissa is worthy of investment and a better future. I am very happy to be associated with Miss Melissa." Ignatius said.

He was not surprised to see the gossip in Jennings' eyes.

"However, there is no further plan. Because this involves an agreement between me and other people." Ignatius said before Jennings spoke, "So, I just hope that she can live a little better. Hope she can Her life has been smooth sailing.”

Jennings was stunned for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just tapped the late night stars four times on his chest.

"No matter what your starting point is, the goddess should praise you for your courage and sincerity in keeping your promises," Jennings said.

Igna also drew the prayer gesture of the Church of Fools on his chest: "Thank you, Mr. Fool, keeping your promises is the virtue you teach."

"So, we'll stay at home tomorrow and see why this beautiful lady is here," Jennings announced with a smile.

"Although I am very interested in the Expo, I would like to help this beautiful lady who is praised and loved by you."

Jennings stood up and stood in front of Igna: "My friend, I am also willing to follow your wishes."

The next day, Thursday.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Ignatius and Jennings had breakfast in a leisurely fashion.

The third cup and lemon cake on the coffee table are ready.

At 8:15, the bell downstairs, which was used as the doorbell, rang punctually.

Jennings, who was closer to the door, stood up, tidied up his clothes, and went downstairs. After opening the door, Jennings was not surprised to see a young lady outside the door.

She was younger and more beautiful than Jennings expected. A pair of dark brown eyes are very agile and seem to be able to speak.

At this moment, in these smart eyes, there is a deep worry and a hint of surprise.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" the young lady asked.

"I'm Schelling's roommate, we've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go up together." Jennings laughed.

Melissa's eyes seemed to be stunned for a moment, but she nodded quickly, followed behind Jennings, and walked up to the second floor of 221b.

-

Igna was also a little surprised when he saw Melissa.

Today's Melissa is completely different from the first two times I saw it. Today, the clothes on her body are not the dignified and elegant dresses that she has seen before, or the simple and convenient dresses, but rather worn, cheap, and somewhat whitish black dresses that seem to have been washed.

The dress made her look less like a college student or a young scholar. Instead, he looked like a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old church student.

She also held a large bag in her arms.

Seeing Igna standing at the door waiting for her, Melissa nodded generously and sat in the seat that was obviously reserved for her.

"What's the matter, Melissa?" Seeing that Melissa's face didn't seem to be in shock, Igna was relieved a little.

After Melissa had used the black tea and half of the lemon cake, Ignat asked according to etiquette.

"Yes." Melissa put down the dessert and nodded to Igna and Jennings.

"Actually, I once thought about whether to go to the Xavilas Field to call the police. But in the East District, the Xavilas Field has always been seldom concerned. So, after thinking about it, maybe I still need to ask you for help." Melissa pursed her lips and said.

Jennings and Igna were stunned when they heard the opening remarks.

Then, they learned the cause and effect of the incident from Melissa's mouth.

Generally speaking, it is a work-study assistant that Melissa hired in the Eastside. Her name is Rebecca. The sixteen-year-old girl has not been to Melissa's office to study for three consecutive days.

Therefore, Melissa was very worried about her safety, so she wanted to invite Igna and Jennings to go to the place where the assistants lived in the East Side.

"Benson asked me to wait for two days, and he will find a way to make the police in the East District take this matter seriously." Melissa said, "But, I always feel that I can't wait any longer."

"So, I thought of you, Sheerin. And Mr. Jennings Wenzel." Melissa said, "Do you have time to accompany me to the Eastside today? I'm very worried about Rebecca's safety. "

Igna frowned and didn't agree immediately.

Although Melissa didn't say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Igna knew very well that Melissa's relatives and friends must be very opposed to her decision to go to the Eastside.

Backlund's eastern district is no ordinary place. There's a reason why the Cevilas Field doesn't manage things in the East. The Eastern District is the most chaotic place in Backlund, where crimes are happening almost every minute. People die in the East End all the time.

Why would Melissa hire an assistant in that place and not pursue it, but Ignatius would never let Melissa go to the East District alone.

From this point of view, there is a reason for Ignat to go out before eight o'clock due to the revelation of yesterday's divination, and no normal person would want to approach the Eastern District.

Igna thought for a while and asked, "Miss Melissa, you want to make sure of Miss Rebecca's safety, don't you?"

Melissa Moretti nodded without hesitation.

"So, do you, or in your office, have anything that Miss Rebecca often uses?" Igna asked.
