After reading the traces printed on the paper, Pacheco turned his head and said to Patton next to him:

“The next thing will be quite complicated, and I will seek help from the police.

"And you can go back to the foundation and wait for subsequent inquiries."

When Patton stared at the paper heard this, he was not disappointed, but was instead grateful and nodded quickly:

"OK."

After reading the traces of the text left by Vernar, Patton's intuition told him that things would be very dangerous.

As an ordinary person, avoiding danger is an instinctive choice.

Of course, this is also because Vernar can only be considered his ordinary friend and is not worthy of his great risk of mixing with this matter.

After the response, Patton immediately turned around, passed between the hotel owner and the waiter, and came to the street.

This time, he did not choose public transportation and got into a taxi carriage.

Patton's outing this time is a special matter and is relatively urgent. He has a deputy director of the "Compliance Department" testified, so he can reimburse the expenses in this regard.

Spending the foundation’s money and using your own salary are completely different feelings.

On the way, Patton looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but think about Ferner's current state:

“Is he still alive?

"The smell of blood in the room...

"I hope he is still alive, and may the Lord protect him.

“If he were still alive, where would he be now?

"Where……

“Will it?

"this!"

As his thoughts turned, Patton suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly ordered the coachman to change his route and go to the neighborhood where he was.

Not long after, he returned home.

"Is something happened?" Patton's wife came up with a look of surprise.

There is still a long time left before lunch, let alone getting off work.

Patton didn't take off his hat, did not take off his coat, and did not answer questions, and asked bluntly:

"Have Vernar been here?"

"He came to visit you in a quarter of an hour. I asked him to wait in the study and sent Wells to the foundation to find you." Patton's wife replied truthfully.

Wells was their family's servant, and obviously a quarter of an hour was not enough to get him to the "Ruen Antiquities Collection and Conservation Foundation."

This is what surprised Patton’s wife the most.

"Yeah." Patton hurriedly passed through the living room, went up to the second floor, and entered the study.

In the study room, the windows were wide open, the curtains were swaying gently, and there was no one.

"Fernar?" Patton shouted, but no one responded.

He jumped out of the window and left... Patton frowned and looked around carefully, finding that the order of several books placed on his bookshelf was in chaos.

It is a series of historical books, divided into upper, middle and lower volumes.

Patton's habit is to arrange from right to left, and now they have become from left to right.

He took a breath silently, walked over quickly, and pulled out the three books.

After a careful inspection, Patton found that a page in the middle of the book had been folded.

He quickly turned to the page and expanded the corners.

There is a sloppy text written in pencil:

"The remnants of the Fourth Age worship the evil gods."

Hiss... Patton was panicked and frightened again, and suddenly stuffed the books in his hand back.

Without thinking much, he rushed out of the study and rushed to the stairs, preparing to look for Pacheco, deputy director of the "Compliance Department", told him about his discovery, and asked him to find the police to protect his family.

After leaving the house, Patton slowed down and considered a very important issue:

Where to find Pacheco?

Clauve Hotel, Storn Police General, or Foundation?

After a brief thought, Patton decided to go back to the foundation and find other employees of the "compliance department".

At this moment, a taxi car parked at his doorstep, and Pacheco Dawn walked down.

"We found that Vernall is coming to your house again." The deputy director of the "Compliance Department" explained quickly.

Patton breathed a sigh of relief and replied without hesitation:

“Yes, but he has left.

"But he left some clues."

After saying that, Patton led Pacheco into his home, came to the study, and handed the book to the other party.

Pacheco glanced twice and gently slid his fingers on the surface of the line of text.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the pencil he had used before and wrote on the side of Yufner's message:

"Call the police!"

After doing all this, Pacheco stuffed the book back to its original position.

However, he did not push the books completely into it.

In this way, the entire row of books produces an outward bulge.

"Okay, go back to the foundation, have lunch, and then wait for good news from the police." Pacheco slapped his palm.

Patton didn't quite understand the reason why the senior lawyer did this, but he didn't ask why.

He really didn't want to mix in this matter in depth, and he felt that he could not bear it at all.

Patton immediately weaved the reason and explained a few words to his wife, then followed Pacheco back to the foundation and started his daily work.

It was afternoon tea time, and he had just finished an ancient book appraisal when he heard a knock on the door.

"I have a clue and I need to go to your house." Pacheco stood beside the door in a gray scarf.

"Clues?" Patton stood up in surprise.

Pacheco did not give a positive answer and spread his hands to make an invitation gesture.

Patton could not refuse and returned home with the other party.

"Fernar is here again!" His wife noticed something was wrong and greeted the door in horror.

"It's okay, some small problems." Patton maintained his macho image and comforted his wife.

After arriving at the study, he and Pacheco found that Ferner had escaped early.

"Damn it, can't he wait a moment?" Patton couldn't help complaining.

"It's okay." Pacheco walked to the front of the bookshelf and pulled out the book.

Apparently, Vernar had passed his suggestion because the book was completely stuffed into the shelf.

"I probably know where Vernall is." Pacheco said with a smile, half closing his eyes.

Patton was stunned:

"How do you know?"

Pacheco opened his eyes and replied with a smile:

“He accepted my bribe, no, gift, and it wasn’t right, the most accurate description should be the suggestion.

"Of course, he may not necessarily adopt it."

After saying that, the deputy director of the "Compliance Department" crossed Patton and walked out of the study.

Patton subconsciously followed him, left the area where he was, and turned into a nearby street.

At the end of that street, there was a house that collapsed due to a fire.

"The reconstruction has not started yet." Patton whispered.

Pacheco put on white gloves again, his expression slightly serious.

He passed through the relatively complete main entrance and entered the half-collapsed hall.

Charred wood fell to the ground, blocking the lower half of a figure.

The figure was wearing a brown jacket, with a red nose and looked very strong, it was archaeologist Ferner.

Patton gave out a sigh of relief and asked anxiously:

"Why don't you call the police?"

"They monitor the police station." Vernal replied with no change in expression.

Patton blurted out and asked again:

"Why don't you leave Stoon and call the police in another city?"

"They monitor the steam train station." Fernard responded in the same tone.

Patton thought for a while and frowned:

"You have many ways to get out of Stoon, and they can't block a city."

Hearing this question, Vernar's expression gradually became vivid, and he said in a slightly erratic tone:

"I felt the will of that great existence..."
