Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 157 Melissa's Invitation

The three of them took turns to rest for an hour, and after removing the influence of the Holy Emblem of the Sun from them, they set out on their way back.

It takes about three hours to return to Tingen from the small town of Morse. When the carriage stopped at No. 34 Zotland Street, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Along the way, even while driving, Leonard repeatedly looked at 3-0782, the "Mutated Holy Emblem of the Sun" in his hand with a confused look on his face, trying to find out what was wrong with it, but until the sealed artifact was returned for investigation Nice Gate, he also failed to get an answer.

Returning from the basement to the second floor, Angel was stopped by Klein. The latter looked at the spiral staircase leading underground, and said before Leonard could follow:
"Should we continue the search for the 'Red Chimney' tomorrow? We have been delayed for several days and the progress is behind us."

After this almost outing, he seemed no longer obsessed with Old Neil's death?
Angel nodded and asked, "Or every afternoon?"

"That's right, I've already reported to the captain. In the morning, Leonard and I will search for clues to Lanerus. The search for 'Red Chimney' can only be done in the afternoon."

Since after the last raid on Ms. D's stronghold, Klein divined that the fraudster Lanerwus was related to the "Aurora Society", so this criminal who made tens of thousands of pounds has been upgraded to a suspect involved in extraordinary events, Nighthawks We can intervene now.

In the previous investigation, they had discovered some clues and were taking turns monitoring a lunatic asylum. It was said that a certain patient had many connections with Lanerwus before going crazy.

Since she was not involved in this task, Angel did not know the details. She was more concerned about the investigation report on the "Red Chimney" she bought for 30 pounds.After more than half a month of searching, the two of them had basically eliminated the buildings in Tingen city, and their next step of exploration was to move towards the suburbs of Tingen.

After making an appointment with Klein, Angel left the Blackthorn Security Company. For her, who was not on duty at Chanis Gate today, it was already considered a "late return" from get off work.

Fortunately, no one is waiting for me to come home...

Angel smiled bitterly and hailed a hired carriage. She did not return to Daffodil Street immediately. Instead, she took the carriage to the Dragon Bar in the dock area and bought a lot of materials for making special ammunition in the underground market, almost all of which were spent. took the cash on him.

Then she returned to Daffodil Street carrying the wooden box.

"Mr. Benson?"

After getting off the hired carriage, Angel was about to go home when he found a man jumping out of the public carriage next to him. He was wearing a vest and shirt. He was holding a document bag in one hand and holding his coat in the other. His hairline was receding. , with a face full of exhaustion.

Hearing someone calling him, Benson turned his head curiously and found that it was the female colleague of his younger brother Klein.

"Good evening, Miss Granger," he said with a pursed lips as he looked at the hired carriage that was about to leave. "There are more and more companies that don't let their employees get off work on time."

"Fortunately, the salary is generous enough, so I can only tolerate such small things."

Angel replied with a smile, and the two walked side by side across the street, stopping at No. 2 Daffodil Street, in front of Moretti's house.

"And I have to clarify, I actually got off work at seven o'clock today. The reason why I came back so late is because..." She picked up the wooden box on the handle and "went to the dock area to buy something."

Benson nodded clearly: "I just came back from the dock area. I could have finished these things before five o'clock in the afternoon, but our inefficient boss..."

"Klein... Benson?"

Benson's complaint against his boss was interrupted by a clear shout. A young face flashed past the oriel window facing the street. Then the door of Moretti's house opened and Melissa poked her head out.

"I thought it was Klein who was back."

"You're treating one another too favorably, sister."

Benson leaned against the door, allowing himself to be covered by the overflowing light in the room, before Benson said feigned dissatisfaction.

"That's because it's become normal for you to work overtime. It won't surprise me to come home late. If I see you staying home after school one day, then I'd have to wonder if you're unemployed."

Melissa said unceremoniously.

Seeing the bickering between the siblings, Angel smiled enviously.

"Miss Angel, I happened to meet you today. I originally planned to ask you about this matter." After Melissa chatted with Benson for a while, she looked over and said, "We plan to hire a handyman maid, preferably He’s good at cooking, do you have anyone to recommend?”

Handy maid, but also good at cooking?
Angel almost blurted out the suggestion that she hire a maid and a chef separately, but then she thought about it. With the Klein family's income, it was impossible to hire both at the same time. She could only choose the one with "versatile talents".By the way, Tromi seems to have said that he can cook some simple dishes...

She thought of Tromy, the maid who helped her clean and do the laundry.

"If you don't have high requirements for cooking skills..."

Angel introduced his female worker... well, only half of his female worker Tromi to Melissa and Benson.

"But she is already working at your house. If we hire her..." Melissa was still hesitant, as if she was worried that hiring Angel's female worker would be tantamount to throwing her own problems to the other party.

"I think we can hire them together. After all, my house only needs simple cleaning and laundry, and you don't need a maid on call all day long. In this way, although Tromi will be a little more tired than now, the income will be higher. , and we don’t need to pay the full employment fee each.”

Angel thought of a solution that had the best of both worlds.

This will undoubtedly increase the workload of the female worker Tromi, but compared to her current situation of running back and forth between multiple employers every day, fixing two adjacent employers, and even having food and accommodation included, it is actually more convenient for her. good.

While Melissa was still frowning and thinking, Benson had already nodded and agreed to the plan.

"I think Miss Granger's plan is very suitable. All that needs to be discussed carefully is the price." He nodded to Melissa and stopped his sister who was about to continue speaking. "If it is convenient, let her come to us tomorrow evening. Try doing some housework at home?"

While the two continued to finalize the details, a hired carriage slowly drove past and stopped on the side of the road.

With a tired look on his face, Klein stepped out of the carriage. Before he could take two steps, he found the three Angels standing on the side of the road. They were stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward and arrived at the door of his house.

"Klein, I didn't expect you to be the last one to come back."

Sharp-eyed Melissa spotted him first.

"I didn't expect that I would be later than Benson," Klein forced a smile, and then looked at Angel, "Angel, did you just come back too?"

"Yes, I met Mr. Benson and chatted for a few words. And I'm also curious about how I got home before you after going around the dock area."

Angel found that Klein was even more tired than when he said goodbye before. It was obvious that he was not wasting time resting at the Blackthorn Security Company, but was going somewhere else.

"I went to Mr. Azik's house and asked a few questions. He plans to leave Tingen tomorrow and go to Backlund."

Recalling the bronze-skinned university teacher, Angel asked doubtfully:
"Didn't he just come back from vacation?"

"He left something in Backlund, it will take some time to find it."

Klein replied, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

I left something behind in Backlund, do I need to go there in person?And listening to what he said, it seemed like he would be gone for a long time...

Angel didn't think about it and just nodded to express his understanding.

Now that Klein was back, she was not going to bother the Moretti family anymore. She said goodbye casually and was about to leave when Melissa stopped her.

"Miss Angel, are you free this weekend?"

"I have this Sunday off. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Melissa smiled happily when she heard this. She glanced at Klein quickly and then said: "This weekend there is a celebration of the new park in the park on Hongyue Street in the North District - not far from St. Selina Church. Built activities, Benson and I both have Sunday off, well, so does Klein, so..."

She looked at Angel expectantly.

The latter looked at Klein and saw that he had a confused look on his face, obviously not informed of his sister's arrangements in advance.

Unwilling to disappoint Melissa's "careful design", Angel nodded.
