Whispering Verse

"oh!"

Shade's physical fitness was too strong, so the opponent was knocked down. The stranger who was knocked down by Shade screamed in pain, and almost fell to the ground if he hadn't been caught. This is not because the other party intends to blackmail Xia De, but because the other party is too old.

"Feel sorry."

Shade raised his head slightly to apologize, but the old man he bumped into shook his head and said it was nothing.

Shade's pupils shrank slightly. The old man in front of him who seemed not to want to attract other people's attention was actually an acquaintance. It was he who had only thought of it an hour ago that the Kasenlik linguist, Lu, who lived on the fourth floor of the Sikal Hotel Professor Al Higgins.

Without showing his inner surprise, Shade helped Professor Higgins pick up the fallen hat and continued walking forward.

【Aren’t you curious? 】

"Of course I'm curious..."

Although he said this, Shade still did not turn around:

"Help me take a look and see if he has stopped at the door of Warehouse No. 18."

[No, he continued to move forward. 】

"Really cautious."

Shade turned right into the alley that connected with Punjab Street. I stood in the alley and counted 30 numbers. When I walked out of the alley, I could no longer see Professor Higgins on the street.

Stopped the little boy selling newspapers and bought a copy of this morning's "Sikal Morning News". Then he entered the tobacco shop on the street, thinking about buying some tobacco leaves for the priest to smoke in his pipe, as a thank you for the thaumaturgy he provided. By the way, you can also make an appointment with Priest Augustus this Sunday.

This Sunday, Shade will go with Sister Devlin to meet the boy who is said to be able to see through death. After going to see Priest August again, Luvia can use two or three coins to divine whether Shade really met the chosen one that day.

Although the suspects are still limited to three people, it also means that we can know whether the current guess is correct.

After all, they don't have the extra coins to test them one by one.

While shopping in the tobacco store, Shade's eyes were still looking through the store window at Warehouse No. 18 diagonally opposite. Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, Professor Higgins used a move that was almost exactly the same as Shade's just now, holding down his hat and dodged out of the warehouse door, and then walked toward the street against the wall without looking back.

This proves that Shade's guess is correct, Professor Higgins is also a Gray Glove. Compared with more than twenty minutes ago, he only had a black suitcase in his hand.

"The delivery is just a suitcase? What can be put in it?"

Shade thought in surprise, stopped chatting with the shopkeeper about the earthquake, paid the money for the tobacco, and walked out of the shop with the newspaper. At this time, Professor Higgins had already gone far, but if Shade wanted to chase him, he could still catch him before he got on the carriage or turned at the next street intersection.

【So, do you want to chase? 】

This time Shade didn't say he wasn't interested. He didn't want to get into trouble by touching the goods before the real goods appeared. But now the cargo has appeared, and it appears to be just a suitcase.

He was indeed curious about what it was, but he was still weighing whether following it would get him into other trouble.

"However, there is no information in that pen. How did Professor Higgins know the location and time of the warehouse?"

After hesitating for a moment, Shade still chose to follow. If the professor went straight to the train station and left the Kingdom of Delarian, then Shade would pretend that he knew nothing. But if the professor returned to the hotel, then Shade would probably decide based on the situation whether to see what was in the suitcase.

"It is now four o'clock in the afternoon. No matter what happens, we must leave Fort Midhill before five-thirty. In this way, we can go to Quill Street at six-thirty, ask Dorothy out for dinner, and tell Lacey It’s about the quantity of goods in Ya’s warehouse.”

Shade made the arrangements, so he walked forward quickly and caught up with Professor Higgins.

In fact, for this Kasenlik agent, the safest way is to immediately take the suitcase and return to the Kasenlik United Kingdom at the southern foot of the Rommel Mountains. But he did not choose to do this, but actually returned to the Sikal Hotel.

Shade deliberately waited behind for five minutes before entering the Sikal Hotel. I thought the professor had returned to his room on the fourth floor, but he didn't expect that the professor was actually sitting in the corner on the first floor, carrying the suitcase and talking to a strange man.

The stranger looked to be about thirty years old, with blond hair sticking close to his scalp, and his skin was very white, but it seemed to be unhealthy white. He was wearing a dirty black coat and his boots were stained with mud.

When Shade saw the other person for the first time, red blood energy rose from the other person's body almost immediately, and then condensed into an even cute little blood-red bat symbol on the other person's head.

Only Shade could observe this scene. He was slightly surprised, and then he realized that this was a new effect that the vampire god added to his [Echo of Blood] at the last cocktail party, that is, it could Easily identify vampires.

"This identification method is really simple."

Shade took another look at the little bat symbol floating above the other person's head, and then walked to the counter to ask for a drink. Of course the shop owner, Mr. Tyers, still remembered "Mr. John Watson" who helped him deal with the police. He greeted him familiarly and recommended today's special wine to him.

At this time, Shade also roughly understood how Professor Higgins learned the information about the warehouse.

Whether vampires belong to the undead race is still controversial in the circle of magicians, but they are indeed good at abilities such as channeling. Therefore, if Professor Higgins can find a way to break into the police station and steal the pen, of course he can also find a way to get the vampire to help channel the corpse.

"Speaking of which, the deputy police chief did say that on the night the pen was stolen, the body that was shot and killed on the fourth floor was also moved. It turned out to be a psychic. It's really interesting. Could it be that this professor, through living Did the uncle and nephew on the fourth floor come into contact with vampires? Or are the Gray Gloves themselves connected to the local vampire species?"

Speculating in his mind, Shade sat at the counter, chatting with the shop owner Mr. Thales about the earthquake that happened in the mountainous area yesterday. He planned to wait until Professor Higgins finished chatting with the strange vampire, and he could try his luck using [Echoes of the Past] to eavesdrop on the content of their conversation.

But the conversation between the professor and the vampire was not harmonious, and after a while, the two had a dispute. The pale man who looked very depressed stood up suddenly and said loudly:

"This is not possible. You promised to give me 200 pounds! If you don't pay now, you can't leave!"
