Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 62 The Trapped Memory
Seeing Charlotte's standard detective-style attire, Karin somehow felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He said directly and bluntly: "Our Mr. Detective, what questions do you want to ask me today?"

Elena looked embarrassed, looked at Charlotte, and warned him not to talk nonsense with her eyes.

Charlotte said with an apologetic expression: "I didn't know yesterday that the incident involved your genre, and I am deeply sorry for that."

At this time, Karin's face calmed down: "It's good that you know, come in, I just happened to be making breakfast, let's eat together later."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the house, followed by Elena and Charlotte.

When Carlin entered the kitchen to cook, the two guests sat at the dining table and waited.

Charlotte glanced at the kitchen, and asked Alina curiously: "Cousin, is he always like this?"

"you mean?"

"Wake up so early, store food by yourself, cook by yourself, do everything yourself, and hire people. If he continues to live on Vanilla Street, I can imagine how bad his reputation will be."

According to the standards of this era, Karin's daily life habits are quite unrespectable, and he has no sense of being a member of the upper class at all.

If it is not decent, it will be rejected by people in the whole circle.

Elena shrugged her shoulders after hearing this: "You may not know that this was not the case in his family half a year ago, because Mr. Westmind's condition worsened and he became irritable, and immediately dismissed all the servants in the family.

After that, Carlin had to leave school and go home to take care of him, but he himself didn't like wasting time on making himself 'more' decent'.

I even suspect that he moved to the academy because he didn't want to listen to other people's finger pointing to affect his practice. At least it is impossible for everyone to criticize a student's independent living habits. "

After hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After hearing what you said about his schedule, even some ascetic monks in the Clander Glow Church are far inferior to him."

At this moment, Elena suddenly squinted at him: "Speaking of which, if Karin hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were back. Why didn't you come to the academy to look for me as soon as you got off the boat?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault," Charlotte smiled helplessly when she heard the words, "It's just that when I got off the boat, I saw a murder case, which aroused my curiosity, and I forgot about other things for a while. that's all"

"You still haven't changed. When you were young, you were very lonely and didn't like to play with children of the same age. It's the same when you grow up. It's not good to just immerse yourself in your own world."

"Hehe, it's much better than before. I just want to see my mother when I come back this time, and relax by the way."

The siblings just chatted about the daily routine, and before they knew it, Karin brought one delicious food after another to the dining table.

When the last dish was served, Karin also sat directly at the main seat.

Charlotte couldn't help admiring: "I didn't expect Karin to have such a skill."

"It's just a matter of personal taste. If you don't want to pay attention, just use your own brain."

After speaking, the three of them began to eat.

Because of Charlotte, an outsider, Karin and Elena also became quiet when they ate, and they didn't even show their teeth, looking very gentlemanly and ladylike.

The meal time passed in this quiet atmosphere.

After the food was emptied, Carlin said to Charlotte: "I am also very sorry about Rooney's death. He was an honest worker, and he shouldn't end up like this."

When Charlotte saw Karin speak, she immediately listened intently.

Carlin went on to say: "You want to investigate his case, and I have no right to object, but for this case, I can only tell you that I gave Rooney 1 gold that day to let him do it for me. dangerous thing.

As for why he died, I don't know, but I have reason to suspect that he may have accidentally broken some people's secrets in the lower city without being silenced. If you want to continue the investigation, you can start from this direction. "

After hearing this, Charlotte thanked immediately: "Thank you for your clues, this is very important.

After Rooney finished your work and left the academy that day, he did not go back to the dock with his fellow workers to pick up the work immediately, but went to other places alone. There was about an hour of gap between them. It turned out that he had gone to Go downtown”

After chatting for a few more words, Charlotte bid farewell to Karin.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Seeing the figure of the other party leaving, Elena smiled and said: "I'm right, he's actually very easy to get along with."

Carlin nodded in disbelief, and asked another question: "I remember Mrs. Wally died 12 years ago, right?"

"Yeah, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Oh, nothing, just a random question."

Karin glanced at Charlotte's fading figure again, and thought silently in his heart: "The Susheng ceremony was also arranged 12 years ago. I don't know if there is any connection between these two events. '

After seeing off Charlotte, Karin and Elena started today's lesson.

Charlotte, who left St. Wayne College, took a carriage to the upper town of Wayne City.

The entire Wayne City is run through by a river from northwest to southeast - the Main River, and finally the river flows into the sea.

The upper city is located in the upper reaches of the northwest of the Main River.

This is actually not difficult to understand, because more and more factories and chimneys are appearing, the Main River cannot escape pollution, and the rich will not like to live in places with poor environment.

Therefore, the unpolluted upstream area naturally became the first choice for the dignitaries of Wayne City to live in.

Charlotte strolled on the boulevard paved with stone slabs, where the environment was elegant and the air was fresh.

When he came to a very old-looking iron gate of the manor, he hesitated. He only felt a burst of pain in his head, and Charlotte couldn't help pressing his temples and kneading them gently, only to feel a little relieved.

Looking at the mottled wall, the gate covered with rust, and the green ivy.

It seemed that there was a large piece of memory that wanted to come back to his mind, but it was bound by an invisible barrier, so that Charlotte couldn't remember anything.

The iron door in front of him was not locked, but in Charlotte's vision, there seemed to be an illusory chain made of thick dust that locked the iron door firmly.

Charlotte wanted to go forward and push open the iron door, but a strong resistance suddenly appeared in his heart to prevent him from doing so.

The outstretched hands fell down, and Charlotte was dejected for a while, and sat slumped on the side of the road, ignoring the dirt on the ground and making the expensive clothes dirty.

'Why, why do I resist instinctively, this is my home, why don't you let me go home!

What happened before my mother died 12 years ago? Why does my subconscious strongly resist recalling all the memories about this place? '

squeak-

It was a piercing sound, and Charlotte raised his head in shock. Looking at the opened door, his head suddenly felt a pain.

As if the memory had been broken through a layer of seal, a lot of information flowed into her mind, and Charlotte recalled scenes of carefree childhood memories.

He didn't know how long he sat in a daze before he recovered.

He immediately remembered that a ponytailed man had appeared at some point, and easily pushed open the large rusty iron gate.

The man has a somewhat decadent face, although a little rough, but it gives people a clean and refreshing feeling, and the melancholy temperament contained in the decadence shows a special charm.

He looked at Charlotte with a gloomy expression, showing two rows of white teeth when he spoke.

"Hello, little Charlotte, I, like you, came back to Wayne from Clander to visit Wally"

Charlotte asked vigilantly: "Who are you? This is my house. Pushing open the door of someone else's house is not what a gentleman should do!"

"Hehe, I just saw that you were in distress, so I couldn't help but help you."

"Who the hell are you?!"

"I am a painter, Wil Vogel, your mother's best friend. After your mother got married, I left the sad place of Wayne and went to Clander to start a new life."
