————————————————————————————————————————

It was nine o'clock in the evening when Rossi returned to the rented house.

Just after teleporting out of the fireplace, I saw Sammy standing on the south window sill, looking at something.

"Sammy, what are you looking at? So engrossed?"

Seeing that she didn't realize that she was back, Rossi stepped forward a little funny.

"Master? You're back!"

Sammy turned around in surprise and said something, then pointed to a tall and thin young man wearing a tall felt hat wandering outside the yard and said, "I was looking at that Muggle, he came around several times in the afternoon, I don't know What are you looking for?"

Eh?Isn't that Mr. Holmes?

Rossi recognized the identity of the young man at a glance. Could it be that he came to look for me?
With this thought in her mind, she quickly walked out of the room, opened the courtyard door and said hello:

"Mr. Holmes?"

Hearing Rossi's voice, Sherlock suddenly turned around, with a puzzled and stunned expression on his face.

"Your house is enchanted?"

"what?"

Rosie, who was walking towards Sherlock, turned around in surprise. The three-story building was there, and she didn't see any difference.

"I mean, it will affect people's consciousness and make people turn a blind eye?" Sherlock explained.

At this time, Sammy, who was following Rossi, said timidly, "Isn't it a matter of course that a wizard's house can shield Muggles?"

Is it the Muggle Repelling Curse?

Hearing Sammy's words, Rossi immediately reacted.

It was so!
"I see."

Sherlock nodded slightly, and then said directly, "Miss Rossi, I want to ask you for help with something. I wonder if you have time recently?"

Uh... He really came to look for me.

Looking at Sherlock's piercing eyes for two seconds, Rossi turned sideways and invited:
"Mr. Holmes, let us go into the room and talk."

Returning to the room, she sat down on the sofa, and said in a calm voice to Sherlock who was looking at the room curiously:
"Mr. Holmes, may I first tell you what it is?"

She added calmly: "If it is particularly dangerous, I can help you report it to the Ministry of Magic, or introduce some stronger people to help you."

Sherlock didn't answer immediately, and after pondering for more than ten seconds, he said slowly:

"Not long ago, I assisted the punishment agency in handling a case."

"The case itself didn't have too many problems, but when I searched for evidence in the prisoner's house, I found this..."

He took out a black and white photo from his jacket pocket and put it on the coffee table. In the picture, a beautiful lady was standing in front of an old castle with a bright smile.

Hmm... a picture of a beautiful woman?

Rossi glanced and was about to raise her eyes to ask, but she heard Sherlock continue:

"This is Lady Margaret, the most famous lady and courtesan in Britannia a few years ago."

"Not long ago, her coachman went to the punishment agency to report the crime, claiming that when she and her servants were invited to visit a castle, they disappeared along with the castle..."

Go to a castle to play, and disappear with the castle...

Hmm...why does it sound like an inexplicable sense of sight?

Rossi was recalling in his heart, when he heard a "ding" sound from the system:
"Finding the clues: The clues to the mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory."

The mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory is one of the headless cases that Rossi came up with after reading the pile of documents in the Auror office.

Glancing at the indefinite mission highlighted on the mission panel, she subconsciously read its name:

"The mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory..."

"Hayley Gregory?"

Obviously he was talking about Margaret, but another name suddenly came out of Rosie's mouth, which surprised Sherlock.

"Well, this case was more than 100 years ago. Hailey Gregory's identity and background are very similar to this Margaret's. They also went to a castle to play, and they also disappeared together with the castle."

Rossi took the topic ponderously, "And the person who called the police was also her coachman. According to the information, the coachman narrowly escaped death because he slept in the carriage and did not enter the castle.

Because of the special status of the lady, the Ministry of Magic had investigated the case.But in the end, no clue was found. "

"That said, it's not a special case..."

Sherlock unconsciously tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. After a while, he collected his thoughts and said seriously, "Miss Rossi, I would like to ask you to assist me in investigating this case, no, more precisely, to act as a my assistant."

As your assistant, investigate this case?

Hmm... This mission is obviously a high-risk one!
Don't there often be such plots in novels, where the person who investigates the disappearance case also disappears because of the case?
And I just came out of the dungeon after narrowly escaping death, and a mission came to my door right away?This is too coincidental, right?
give up!give up!
"Sorry, I don't have time."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Rossi who blurted out felt that he had refused too simply, so he took a sip from his water glass in embarrassment, "By the way, since you are helping the disciplinary agency handle the case When you found this, why didn't you ask someone from the punishment agency to investigate with you?"

"Actually, I can know that this photo is Mrs. Margaret, or a friend from the correctional agency told me, but they don't seem to want to do more investigation on this case."

"Uh...they don't want to investigate the case, that's normal."

Rossi put down the water glass in her hand, and her gaze paused for a moment on Mrs. Margaret's photo, "This case is very likely to be the same as the mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory, but the conclusion drawn by the Ministry of Magic Yes: The castle is concealed by the Fidelity Curse, so there is no way to investigate it, only prevention."

"Prevention?" Sherlock's finger tapped on the photo, "Is this the result of prevention?"

Rossi helplessly spread his hands:

"Because of the establishment of the disciplinary agency, many things that were previously under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic have now been taken over by the disciplinary agency. Er... You should understand that the transfer of jurisdiction between the two power agencies cannot cover everything. But no matter what No matter what, this case is almost impossible to be solved."

"All right!"

Sherlock let out a long sigh.

Although he was sighing, in his eyes, Rossi didn't see the slightest sign of giving up.

He reluctantly picked up the photo, put the tall felt hat under his arm and saluted, then turned around and planned to leave.

At this moment, Rossi inadvertently saw a string of words written on the back of the photo:
England, London, Newcastle, Seyit Castle.

???

London, England?

Isn't it only called this name in the dungeon?

Didn't the disappearing castle be said to be hidden by the Fidelity Curse?
Could it be that the inside and outside of the copy are not just a simple parallel space relationship, but also hidden deeper entanglements?

A moment of doubt flashed in Rossi's heart, at this moment, Sherlock had already walked out of the room.
