Chapter 3369 Knocking at the door in the middle of the night

The weather is very good, and there are not many urgent matters in the remote town, so even the walking pace slowed down.

The cat was curled up in Xia De's arms and fell asleep again. The white-haired girl walking side by side with Xia De would occasionally peek at Xia De.

Regarding Miss Larson, Luvia actually made Xia De close contact. Since the "select" method of the candidates of this fate is to see who is more important on the stage, Miss Larson, who is currently the only known candidate, is naturally the focus of training.

Although Luvia did not ask Xia De to go on adventures with the white-haired girl immediately, the meaning of her persuading Xia Dedo to communicate with Miss Larson was still very obvious.

However, as a fortune teller, Luvia knows better than Xia De when dealing with "destiny", it is better to let things go rather than force them. Therefore, all the suggestions she gave Xia De were just suggestions, so Xia De was not in a hurry to take Miss Larson to run around the island.

"Tell me about this matter, what exactly do we need to solve?"

He no longer talked about Claire, but asked about this "investigation mission".

Miss Larson nodded slightly:

"This morning, the lady received a letter from Mrs. Reinhart, who said that from Friday night, every morning, she would hear knocks from the door downstairs, but there was no one outside the door after opening it.

Professor Reinhardt at home heard nothing, but the wife was sure that it was not her auditory hallucination. Later, the wife discovered that the sound might have come from next door, but the neighbor next door stopped living there five years ago, and now the house is used as a public warehouse.

This happened on Friday night, and then it happened again on Saturday night. So the lady wrote to the lady early in the morning, and the lady also showed the letter to Elder Harald, who said that it might be something like ghosts, and it would be good to disperse the soul with rituals."

She briefly introduced it, Xia De nodded, feeling that this should not be a very troublesome thing.

Because today is Sunday and the weather is good, many hardworking housewives are drying clothes and quilts. After all, the small town by the sea is very stormy.

Professor Reinhardt went out to visit friends again today, but Mrs. Reinhardt was at home. She warmly welcomed her daughter's "friends" and students who came to visit with a net bag of apples. The story of the lady's narration was similar to what Miss Larson said just now.

"Although I am not an ambient warlock like my father and Claire, my bloodline is still inherited from my ancestors. My inspiration is much better than Claire's father. This is probably because I heard the knock on the door, but he didn't hear the knock on the door."

Mrs. Reinhardt reminded that this was one of the reasons why she notified her daughter in time.

"Apart from knocking on the door, were there any other abnormalities?"

Tobeske's famous detective asked, Mrs. Reinhardt thought about it carefully and shook her head gently:

"I only dared to open a crack in the door and look out, but didn't notice any other situations."

Mrs. Reinhardt had no other clues here, so Shade carefully checked in the house for any abnormal element reactions based on the idea of ​​"safety first".

After checking the house, Xia De and Miss Larson went to check the house next door that was knocked on the door. Xia De had just found out that he was an old lady living alone. Five years ago, she couldn't hold on, so she was taken to Shilun City by her nephew to live in Shilun City. She is still alive now.

The old man was unwilling to sell his old house to others, so he gave the keys to the neighborhood so that everyone could use them to put things and help clean the house.

"If a house is not used for a long time, it will collapse soon" - this is the idea of ​​many elderly people.

The Reinhardt family has been neighbors with the old lady next door for many years. The old lady next door has also hugged Claire when she was a child. There are indeed many people who have hugged Claire when she was a child.

In short, over the years, there has never been an abnormal event nearby. If it weren't for the two consecutive days of scare from the knock on the door, Mrs. Reinhardt wouldn't have written to ask her daughter for help.

The key has now been handed over to Xia De. He first looked at the door of the house, and then took Miss Larson into it after confirming that there was no problem. He did not arrange tasks for the white-haired girl, but went to check every corner of the "storage room" by himself. The witch apprentice closed the door to prevent anyone from wondering what they were doing. Seeing Xia De busy, he couldn't help asking:

"Hamil"

"Call me Mr. Watson, safety first."

"Mr. Watson, I have heard your story before. Although I have never read that detective novel, I also know that you are a very famous detective and do you really do those things?"

Xia De, who was trying to observe the bloodstains with "Blood Echo", answered casually:

"Most of the stories in the books are fake, but most of the things in the newspapers are true."

Seeing that Xia De wanted to carry the sack of food to check the back, she came over to help, but Xia De refused:

"I can do it myself."

"Do you always do this by yourself? As you are"

This is not about moving food, but about the "God Caller". As the most powerful ring warlock in the material world currently recognized as the only person who can use his body to complete the ritual of divine descending many times, he actually helped ordinary people investigate those strange things for money.

Stella Larson has even heard people praise him that even a famous detective, Shade Hamilton would investigate mistresses, missing cats and dogs every now and then.

"What's wrong with my identity?"

Xia De continued to carry the winter food that he had placed here:

"No matter how strong I am, I am still a human."

"She" smiled, but Xia De ignored:

"I have always maintained this view that the spiral warlock should not distinguish itself from the concept of ‘human’. Even if we can fly into the sky, we still need the fruits of ordinary people to live in this world and are still part of human society.

So even though we are strong, I am still happy to do what ordinary people do, which is fun, like playing Rhodes cards, like conducting a detective commission investigation.”

He didn't have to look back and knew that the girl behind him must have a thoughtful expression:

"For example, you and Claire must have their own interests and hobbies. This is the same."

Miss Larson nodded in a vague way, feeling that this man who seemed powerful and indeed very powerful was much more approachable than he thought. After knowing his identity, the witch apprentice also thought about whether to change the way he got along with him, such as being more respectful. Now it seems that he is more normal than most high-ring warlocks he knows.

Although Xia De said there was no need to help, Miss Larson helped him search the house. Half an hour later, they had to admit that there was nothing unusual in the house. It seemed that the best way to do so at present was to ambush until another midnight to see what would happen here. Since there was no abnormal element reaction, the possibility of the "resential spirit" mentioned by Elder Harald should be very high, and unless Xia De can find its nest, the resential spirit will certainly not show up during the day.

It was just this morning, and Xia De didn't want to wait that long. Out of the idea of ​​trying his luck, he used the "echo of the past". But although there was basically no one coming in the house, there was a bustling street with people coming and going outside the door.

He had no hope at first, but he didn't expect that after trying the third time, a clear knock on the door immediately came to his ears.

The source of the knock on the door was the door of the house. Unexpectedly, Xia De, who had really hit the lucky ones, hurried over there until he pressed his ear against the door.

He could almost feel the vibration of the wooden door at this moment. Amid the continued knocking, a very faint hoarse voice appeared in the "Silent Night" environment:

"Miranda, Miranda, I'm back."

The voice used local language, which sounded like a man's voice.

Xia De listened quietly for a while, and after confirming that the sound outside the door was just repeating this sentence intermittently, he stopped the magic trick and asked the girl behind him who was very consciously keeping quiet:

"Miss Larson, have we heard the name 'Miranda' somewhere just now?"

The white-haired girl said with certainty:

"Mrs. Reinhardt once mentioned that the full name of the old lady who once lived here was Miranda Otto."

The two then returned to Reinhardt's house and asked Mrs. Reinhardt, who was still doing housework, about "Miranda Otto".

Because she has been a neighbor for many years, Mrs. Reinhardt knows her very well:

"I moved here the year my father and I got married, and Mrs. Otto had already lived here. She was in her forties and lived alone. After I got pregnant and gave birth to Claire, she took great care of me.

She has no children, but was married before. I also heard from other neighbors that Mrs. Otto and her husband came to the island after elopement. They lived on the island for two or three years, and then the man disappeared after a mountain climb and never came back.

Mrs. Alto lived here and waited for her man to come back. It has been more than fifty years since her family found the island, but she was unwilling to leave. She said that she had left and the man could never find his way home again.

More than ten years ago, a nephew of her mother's family moved to the island to live in the city because of business reasons, but she has been helping her. Five years ago, her body couldn't hold on and then brought her to the city to live."
