The woman's hands were regular on her legs. Her white skin and delicate facial features were still not covered by her long lavender skirt. She only had a small part of her ankle, but it was full of imagination.

A woman who looks like a woman walking out of a painting, sitting next to Ziel Barthley, whose body shape and appearance are not even ordinary, inevitably makes people think of some less harmonious words.

"Audrey has not made any particularly strange moves these days. She takes a walk, goes to class, goes to town at noon to have a party with her friends, and goes to class in the afternoon... It has been like this some time ago. She has been learning flower arrangements with me two days before her disappearance, and it doesn't seem like there is a problem."

Mirina Bartley, Ziel Bartley's wife, and her daughter's disappearance seemed to have problems with her mental state, and there was obvious delay in her speech and behavior. Although the meaning was complete, there were many pauses in the middle.

Donald's eyes wandered on Mrs. Barthley several times, which was not what he wanted, but he was a little difficult to control himself. The appreciation of beauty was a common pursuit of mankind.

"Miss Audrey's friends in the town, have you ever asked?"

Sherlock on the side looked calm, as if he was not affected at all, and continued his inquiries.

"I asked, on the night when Audrey disappeared, I took a few people to visit them separately, but no one knew why... Oh, two girls who had a good relationship with Audrey said that he often had dazed during the party for half a month... It seemed that he was worried. He was anxious to find his daughter at the time, but he didn't ask in detail whether I would let them come again?"

Memories are a good way to check for omissions. Although Audrey's personal troubles seem to have nothing to do with the fact that she was kidnapped by others, it is always wrong to pay attention to details, let alone just ask someone for a few questions.

"Does anyone know the route of Miss Audrey's morning walk on the farm? That is the path he took when he disappeared. If possible, I hope to take me on a trip before Miss Audrey's friends come, especially on the missing sections. I have to take a look at it in detail."

The inquiry is temporarily over, I get up to tidy up my clothes and find someone to lead the way.

"Old Hober, you've grown up watching Audrey. You should be familiar with the way she walked in the morning, right?"

"Of course, I know Miss Audrey's walk very well. Come with me, two gentlemen."

Old Hober also cared about Audrey's disappearance. As Mr. Barthley said, as the old farmer who watched Audrey grow up, he did not care less for this girl than others.

"To be precise, I'll go to investigate. Mr. Grant will visit the farm and investigate the disappearance of cattle and sheep. Come here."

After walking a few steps, he called Donald to his side and continued:

"You go and see the disappearances of cattle and sheep. They are all missing. Maybe you will have some contact... Help me ask other people on the farm. There will always be no such a few people on such a large farm, and they will act separately."

Since the Rat Catcher incident, Sherlock has admitted Donald's ability. The assistant he hired for a weekly salary of 1 gold pound is not just a person who can only translate special words. He has his own insights on things and knows the limits, so he specially handed over the task of asking other people to Donald, and division of labor and cooperation can improve efficiency.

"no problem."

Yesterday's heavy rain dispersed the traces on the ground, and the search powder in my hand probably won't come in handy, so it doesn't matter if I go together.

Sherlock was led by Old Hober, while Donald specifically appointed Goren.

"Mr. Grant, there are some roads on the farm that are difficult to walk."

When he arrived outside the door, Goron handed over a pair of leather boots and asked Donald to change the chair next to him. There were only basic paths on the farm with stones, and they were still scattered. Without boots, you went out for a walk and then returned. The current low-top shoes are probably not allowed to be worn.

Go to the missing place of cattle and sheep first. This is Donald's request after changing his leather boots. Although the farmer does not care about the disappearance of cattle and sheep and wants to retrieve his daughter wholeheartedly, Donald always feels that the incident is a bit too coincidental.

They never disappeared sooner or later, but at this critical moment, the cattle and sheep are gone, and their daughter is gone.

"Did Mr. Barthley just do agriculture? The decoration of the residence is not like a simple farmer."

Any purposeful conversation requires a tone. Donald chose to start with the grandeur of the farm that was somewhat out of place with the country atmosphere. As for why he chose Goron, he said before that this man was very enthusiastic and was willing to let go of it even to strangers, rather than hide it.

This is very important.

In fact, there is another point, that is, as one of the three people sent by Mr. Barthley, he is undoubtedly a trusted person. Since this is the case, it is very likely that he is an old employee and must know more than most people on the farm.

"Haha, that's of course. Our boss was not a farmer before, but a well-known figure in the city of Puston, a contractor of a large factory, a veritable capitalist, and a capitalist who is very good at employees."

When talking about his boss, Goron's face was full of pride.

"Then why come to the countryside? Is there something wrong with the factory's operation?"

"How is that possible! Mr. Grant, you didn't see how hot the factory was at the beginning, it was actually for Mrs. Barthley."

When it comes to Mirina Barthre, Goron's expression has an indescribable feeling, a bit ambiguous, and a bit a pity, mixed together.

"Is there any conflict in this? I think they have a good relationship."

"Of course, you don't know, the factory that the boss gave up in order to pursue his wife... Alas, it's a pity to say that the boss could have become the boss of Puston City, but as a man, it's normal to think about it. Don't you think the wife is beautiful?"

"That's why I asked, is there any necessary connection between becoming a big capitalist and pursuing Mrs. Barthley?"

According to common sense, isn’t it easier to be a famous big capitalist to be able to get a beautiful woman? Why does this seem to be an obstacle?

"How do I know? Anyway, the factory was sold by him shortly after the boss's pursuit was successful. He didn't do business in the city and came to the countryside with the remaining funds. Our old employees resigned, and those who changed jobs changed jobs were the only ones left, and Old Hober and Aldridge followed the boss."
