Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 293 Threat Letter

Ok?
She almost thought that Mr. Fool was repeating her previous words, and then she remembered what she had reported to Him after praying to Him early in the morning, and realized that it was His response to this matter.

Don’t worry, it seems that Mr. Fool doesn’t pay much attention to the pursuit of the “Aurora Society” and the “Witch Sect”. Also, his followers and favored ones are either mid-sequence extraordinary beings like Sherlock who hide their identities, or they can easily Naturally, there is no need to care about the high-sequence strongman who killed Qilingos.

The gray fog disappeared, and the confused expression of middle-aged teacher Benny appeared in front of Angel.

"Ms. Watson, are there any problems with the translation?"

"No, it's okay, I just..." She quickly denied it and said casually, "I was just thinking about the student I met yesterday. Well...she helped me show the way. She was very kind and her name seemed to be Lily Ge. Ranger.”

"Lily Granger? That female student from the Mechanical Department?"

Unexpectedly, Benny, a teacher in the Department of Archeology, actually remembered students from other departments. This made Angel regretful for randomly looking for topics, but he could only nod his head and said:

"It should be her, blond hair, round face."

"It's her, but Miss Granger...maybe she is kinder to outsiders."

Benny replied with a smile, as if there was something in his words.

Seeing that Angel was a little confused, he carefully added: "Miss Granger seems to be a little worried recently. She is a little... not polite to her classmates and teachers. Well, I shouldn't say this. I'm sorry, don't put it aside. In my heart.”

Perhaps he didn't want to talk about negative news about students, so Benny quickly stopped talking, carefully folded the 15-pound note and put it away, and returned to his seat under the envious eyes of his colleagues.

Angel thought about it and left the office. In her, or Cole Granger's, impression, Lily Granger was a kind-hearted and somewhat cowardly girl, until she left Tingen and went to Backlund a year ago. It was all so that Cole was worried that she would be bullied here.

Such a girl is "not too polite" to her classmates and teachers?
Angel quickly caught the keyword "Something has been on my mind recently" in Benny's words, and guessed whether Lily's temperament changed drastically after learning about Cole's disappearance and the death of her "cousin" Angel.

Thinking of Lily's haggard face he saw yesterday, Angel wandered and hesitated in front of the train at the entrance of the college, and finally made a decision and returned to the college.

----

Waiting until after-school time at noon again, Angel followed Lily Granger from a distance out of the college and came to a residential street in the North District. He watched her return to a two-story house with familiarity, opened the door and walked in.

It seems that this is her residence in Backlund.

Angel did not visit rashly, but went around to the alley at the back, quietly observing the inside of the house by the window, and quickly figured out the structure of the house and the location of the people inside.

"It's a pity that the 'Crimson Eye' was lost. Otherwise, there would be no need to scrape the wall, and we could easily understand the situation inside the building..."

Angel complained in his heart. Fortunately, the physical strengthening of the Assassin Path gave her extraordinary flexibility, and no accidents occurred during the exploration.

Apart from herself, Lily's residence only had one maid who was cleaning the house, and she prepared lunch herself. Such a simple life made Angel almost suspect that the Church of the Night had not handed over his pension to her.

But it could also be that Lily didn't want to reveal her wealth in Backlund. After all, 8000 pounds was not a small amount, and it might lead to unnecessary danger.

After finding a cafe nearby to simply fill his stomach, Angel waited for Lily to leave in the afternoon and the chore maid also went out, then pried open the back door and entered the kitchen, and then went to the living room on the first floor.

The layout here is more compact than the house Angel rented in the Bridge District, with only about two-thirds of the area. Obviously, the high rental prices in the North District affected Lily's choice, and it is true that she lives alone. You don't need that much area.

The furniture and furnishings should have come with the rental, and the appearance is very old, but the entire living room is very clean, and the potted plants on the window sill and the decals on the wall also make the place full of life, which is stronger than the house where Angel is only used for hiding. A lot.

After inspecting the first floor, Angel came to the bedroom on the second floor and saw the upside-down photo frame on the bedside table. He felt moved and stepped forward to help him up. He saw that in the frame was a photo of Cole and Lily Granger. Same as the photo of Angel at his home in Tingen.

"Looking back, it seems that Lily has probably guessed what Cole's disappearance means..." Angel put the photo frame back into place and went to the study room on the second floor, where he found a pile of books on mechanical principles and design. After rummaging around, I didn't find any useful information. Instead, I developed a phobia of complicated content, and I got a headache from reading professional books one after another.

Fortunately, she quickly found a letter in the drawer. The envelope was printed with the emblem of the Church of the Goddess of the Night. It was pressed under some notebooks. Angel opened it and looked at it. Sure enough, it was an obituary sent by the church. He simply mentioned When it comes to Angel Granger's sacrifice at Tingen, and the formulaic words of comfort, nothing is revealed that shouldn't be revealed.

Angel restored the positions of the objects in the drawer, sat down in front of the desk that Lily should use frequently, took out the magic mirror, wiped the mirror surface, and began to perform divination.

"Mirror Mirror tells me the reason for Lily Granger's recent change in personality."

This divination sentence is very general, but Angel has no more clues, so he can only cast a wide net and hope to see something.

The mirror stayed in pure black for almost ten seconds, and then the real divination screen was displayed.

Obviously, the divination was interfered with by some force, but the opposing force was not strong.

In the magic mirror, Lily was holding up a few letters in distress, then threw them aside, rushed to the study window, slammed the window, drew the curtains, and finally stuffed all the letters into the desk behind the desk. Through the gap, he left the study.

Putting down the magic mirror, Angel fumbled behind the desk for a moment and took out a few pieces of letter paper. They were covered with a lot of dust, but the handwriting was still clear.

"Lily Granger, I know what your family has done!"

"I've been watching you!"

"You can't escape!"

"..."

It was filled with similar threatening words, which made Angel confused.

The handwriting is very sloppy, and the strokes vary in thickness. It looks like it was written with a non-dominant hand in order to cover up the handwriting. There are no other marks or printed letterhead on the letter paper, so no clues can be found.

"Oh, if an ordinary detective encounters this kind of thing, he would have to give up, but I..."

Thinking of what happened recently, she still didn't pronounce those two words. Instead, she returned to the desk, pressed the mirror on the letter paper, silently recited the incantation, and soon saw the face of the letter writer.

In a sparsely furnished room, a middle-aged man was holding a pen with his left hand, writing down threatening words one by one, and then putting them into unmarked envelopes. When the scene changed, he directly put them in The letter was slipped into the crack of the door.

Similar clips flashed several times, and the mirror returned to normal. It seemed that these threatening letters were all written by the same person.

"The first divination was interfered with, but the subsequent threatening letters were not..." She looked at the letter paper placed on the desk and analyzed the matter, "The force against divination is to protect Lily Granger herself. , should come from the Nighthawks of Backlund, who have provided appropriate protection to the families of their fallen companions. The source of these threatening letters, the middle-aged man, does not have the ability to counter divination, but he has certain counter-divination abilities. Tracking skills, if I didn't have divination, I might not be able to catch him..."

Angel tried to conduct a deeper divination on the middle-aged man, but failed this time. However, the reason for the failure should be insufficient information rather than supernatural factors.

After thinking for a moment, she stuffed the threatening letter into the gap on the wall behind her desk, restored everything in the study, and left Lily Granger's house.

Since extraordinary means are useless, she plans to use some "traditional" methods to find more clues.

When Angel returned to the street from the back alley, he found a man standing against the wall at the door of the cafe across the street. He was wearing a thick black windbreaker and a half-top hat. He stood steadily in the cold wind, his eyes scanning Lily's house from time to time. door.

She walked past him in a natural manner, glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and found that he was completely different from the middle-aged man in the divination results just now.

The windbreaker and top hat, the attention to Lily's family...could it be the Nighthawks, who also knew about the threatening letter and were following and "fishing"?
