Chapter 47 Deliberate Coincidence

"I was fine yesterday, one night, I was crazy? So what made you like this... I'm afraid I won't get more information. Mr. Bob, I'm very happy to talk to you. Goodbye, I hope your condition will improve over time."

Put the 2 shillings in your pocket back in place. If time allows, Donald may stay for a while and find a way to try the other party again. However, it is almost 5 o'clock now, Miss Audrey's friend in the town should be here.

This is the only way to ask this friend who has an unknown mental state.

Leaving the door, I met Goron and the maid downstairs just now.

"Mr. Grant, don't ask?"

"Yes, Mr. Bob seems to be a little uncomfortable. I don't want to stimulate him, who is this?"

The bamboo basket in the maid's hand was exactly the same as the one in the room before.

"Francissa, she is Mrs. Barthley's exclusive maid. She has been following her for several years. She came to give Bob chicken soup. That guy probably pretended to be sick just to see Miss Fran. He is such a bastard!"

The maid was combed with a ponytail and had a few strands of golden hair hanging on her forehead. Her eyebrows and eyes were not very beautiful, but they were very attractive. The skeleton was a bit tall, especially her buttocks, which looked quite fat.

No wonder Goron was so attentive. For those of them, such a figure was simply perfect.

Goren signaled Donald with a hint of embarrassment. Of course, he wanted to stay with Fran.

"Don't worry, although the farm is large, most of it is grassland and farmland. The style of the main house is different from other houses."

The beauty of adulthood, walking down the stairs in Goron's gratitude look, accidentally saw the local dog just now. At this time, it was lying under the tree, turning its head to look at Donald.

No barking.

"Aren't you quite good..."

He turned around and looked at its owner's house, Goron and the maid were not in the corridor.

**

Audrey usually has many friends in the town. Her natural kind personality is indeed easy to gain friendship from others. However, Sherlock is not just friends. He asked Bartley to bring all the real friends who could talk about private topics from Audrey before her disappearance.

Outside the house, Donald met Sherlock who returned with Old Hober, who asked Old Hober to leave first, and the two went to the wall to replace the original shoes.

It was dim outside, and you could see someone holding a torch nearby lit up the lampposts in the farm one by one.

“Have you found anything?”

While changing shoes, the two exchanged their information they found, and Sherlock spoke first.

"The disappearance of cattle and sheep should be caused by wild animals, and it is not ordinary wild animals. The first time it was nearly two weeks ago, a lamb that was just born, and the most recent disappearance was two days ago, a three-month-old calf, Mr. Bob, who witnessed the monster, had a mental problem. It was strange to hear Goron say that he was fine yesterday. Besides... Ziel Barthre seemed to be a capitalist before, because he pursued his wife to the countryside."

This is information exchange, so Donald did not give his own speculation. It was a self-conscious judgment and could not be put into it, otherwise it would mislead Sherlock.

"Miss Audrey must have been kidnapped by an acquaintance."

Sherlock only said one sentence.

"Um?"

Is the progress so fast?

"The place where I found the paper was indeed on Miss Audrey's walk, but I found this on a nearby lawn, and I asked Mr. Hober that this was Miss Audrey's stuff, and she liked to wear insects in this kind of hairpin."

A butterfly-style colored hair accessories, made of metal, can show the craftsman's craftsmanship.

"Where did you find it...Why didn't people on the Raffindo Farm find it before?"

Something that a dozen people searched back and forth but couldn't find. Sherlock had stopped there for less than 20 minutes except for the time on the road. He found the headwear left by Audrey. Is this a wonderful coincidence?

No, all accidents will have inevitable factors.

Isn't the farm employee or Ziel Barthley himself more careful than Sherlock?

Why can't they see it?

"Haha, you are a smart person. I knew you could see that there was never such a coincidence... Coincidentally, when I went to that road, I walked up the lawn, I picked up something that more than a dozen people couldn't find in a carpet search. There was only one reason. Someone, someone who knew I would go there, put down the headdress in advance. He wanted me to see this little butterfly. So, why did he let me see this little butterfly?"

Sherlock changed his shoes and stepped on the ground with his feet. He ignored Donald and walked straight into the room.

"Because he wants you to know the meaning of letting go of butterflies?"

The person who put down the headwear may want to tell them the fact through jewelry that someone knows their actions and knows Audrey's course of action.

On the premise that the other party knows the exact route, it will naturally remind people of the person who kidnapped Audrey must be someone familiar with her.

In other words, it is very likely that people on the farm.

So why don’t people who put down their headdresses choose to come forward and express their thoughts directly, but instead use this hidden way.

What is he scrupulous?

"It's better to have sneakers. If I could design my shoes, I would definitely make a big profit."

After a round of his mind, he finally returned to his shoes. Donald said that he had a boss, and he was only an assistant, responsible for asking about the news and looking at the wind, so what was the brain-consuming thing.

Donald was busy putting his leather shoes on his feet without caring about Sherlock. He didn't like these hard-soled shoes very much. Although they have a certain height-enhancing effect, if he can choose one from other people's eyes and his own comfort...

There is no doubt that it is the latter.

The sky was dark very quickly, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing down.

There were many people sitting in the living room. In addition to the Barthleys and the butler and maid who came in the afternoon, they were five young girls. When he entered the door, he happened to see Sherlock sitting by the wall of the living room, next to it, two large windows were open, and wind blew in outside, covering the sound of their conversation.

The girls watched Sherlock not because of his detective identity, but because of his appearance.

The story between a beautiful girl and a handsome and mysterious detective uncle.

Note that handsomeness is the first.

When Donald walked into the living room, the four girls' eyes retracted and stopped on him.

To be honest, Donald is definitely the word "super handsome" now. Although he does not have the habit of gentlemen dressing up himself, he just can't stand his youth and a good foundation. In addition, the calm and peaceful temperament brought to him by the meditation of the clock has also made him very destructive.

But he soon discovered that the eyes of these girls always turned between him and Sherlock.

The beautiful young people and detective uncles, what they have imagined is probably able to write a "literary masterpiece".

Even though I think about it, my work has to continue. There are two extra chairs on the other side of the living room, which should be prepared for his inquiries.

"Does Mr. Grant live in the city of Puston? Live with Detective Swift? Are you friends?"

Just as he sat down and introduced himself, Donald asked before he could ask, Miss Kyle could not help it. They didn't know about Audrey's disappearance. The Barthleys invited them to a party in the name of a dinner party, and they thought Sherlock and Donald were both people who came to play.

"I ask, you answer, it's my working hours now. If Miss Kyle wants to know some private matters, she has to find me later."

He blinked frivolously, and the girl lit her head quickly.

"How is your relationship with Miss Audrey?"

It still has to start with the most basic problem...

The two divided the work, the five girls did not spend much time, and the inquiry ended an hour later. The five girls were invited to the restaurant to have dinner with the Barthleys, and Donald, together with Sherlock, went upstairs to Audrey's room under Miss Fran, and their meal time might be delayed.

The three-story house has a large interior area, and the first floor is just a venue for holding parties, ensuring that it is spacious enough.

The layout of the second floor is roughly a Japanese shape, with the middle of the stairs towards the third floor. As for the rooms on the second floor, most of them are private activity rooms, including a family dining room, a study room, and a small living room for guests. This is the daily place where Barthay family stays.

The third floor is the real resting place for the Barthley family, which is the most private. Even the servants are only the closest to them, and they are allowed to go up privately.

The corridor is paved with red carpets, and there are various portraits hanging next to it. There are not many rooms on the third floor, with only five in total, one of which is the Barthleys and the other belongs to Audrey, and the other three are specially prepared for relatives and good friends. Donald and the other are not allowed to live there, so they are arranged on the second floor.

"This is Miss Audrey's room. From the day she disappeared, anyone except the Master and the Lady were forbidden to enter. Master Bartley believes that the scene should be protected."

After all, he was a former capitalist. Barthley was a person who had seen the world and had his own judgment.

"Within the wise behavior, this will help us a lot."

Sherlock wore white gloves and handed Donald a pair. On the one hand, it was to show respect for Miss Audrey so as not to cause embarrassment when touching some private objects. On the other hand, if white gloves were rubbed with some strange things, it could make a comparison and facilitate the difference.

Open the door and turn on the lights.

"The exquisite decoration and classical furniture seem to be a girl with a literary atmosphere, so I have to ask you to leave the room temporarily. It is not good for strange men and women to appear here together."

God knows what the classical style is related to the inability of men and women to enter the room together. The maid Franciszo doesn't know, and Sherlock doesn't actually know either.
