Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 344
Originally planning to stay on Minsk Street until night, but was frightened by Sherlock's sudden remarks and ran away, Angel took a hired carriage and arrived at the private detective near Backlund Technical College in the North District before the sun set. I went to the agency and met Detective Mr. Raymond, who I had been working with for more than half a month.

The latter seemed to be accustomed to day and night reverse and continuous surveillance operations. Although his expression was a little bad, he was still in good spirits. When his employer arrived, he took out a file bag from the desk drawer and handed it to Angel.

"After many days of tracking, we finally made a new discovery the night before yesterday. The man you are looking for secretly came to the target building at night, pried open the window on the first floor, threw in a letter and slipped away," Lei Meng introduced what he had gained in recent days, "We tracked him, found his residence, and conducted an identity investigation to determine this person's identity."

"Kaliva Dupont, 39 years old, single, lecturer in the Mechanical Department of Backlund Technical College?"

Looking at the information collected and investigated by the detectives, Angel was a little surprised. She did not expect that the person who sent many threatening letters to Lily Granger was actually her teacher. This older bachelor was well-dressed and teaching in the college during the day. At night, sneak to the door of the student's house, pry open the window and stuff threatening letters inside?

If the content of the letter were changed, it would become a bloody love story... She cursed in her heart and glanced at Kaliva's address. It was also in the North District, two streets away, within a 10-minute walk. can be reached.

"Thank you, Detective Raymond. As agreed, I will pay an additional 5 pounds to purchase this information, and this commission is over."

Angel collected the information, paid the balance, and left the detective agency.

It's not that she doesn't want the detectives to continue to stare at Lily's house and find more clues, but there are also several Nighthawks who are watching at the same time. If there are private detectives hanging around Lily's house for a long time, it will easily attract the attention of these extraordinary people. That would be counterproductive.

On the way, she bought a Dixie pie and sweet iced tea for lunch. She quickly found the residence of Kaliva Dupont, the originator of the threatening letter. Kaliva was a lecturer at the Technical College with a reasonable income. He is a bachelor again, so he lives in a three-story building. I don't know if he rents it or owns it.

After a brief divination in the back alley and confirming that Kaliva was not at home, Angel directly pried open the back door and entered the small building from the kitchen.

The furnishings on the first floor were quite simple. She did not find many useful clues. She only knew that the lecturer of the Department of Mechanical Engineering was a pottery enthusiast in private. There were many crudely made pottery pots piled in the basement, and only the ones in the living room were The exquisite billowing machine is a testament to his mechanical proficiency.

After going up to the second floor, Angel quickly found several threatening letters in the study that could prove the other party's private behavior. The handwriting was the same as what she found in Lily's house. They were all written by her non-dominant hand, and the contents were similar.

Based on the letters found in Kaliva's home, he was able to report to the police and reveal the true identity of this duplicitous lecturer, but Angel was still a little curious, what was the real purpose of this?
The other party is the family member of the deceased soul in the hands of Cole Granger, and is he planning revenge on Lily?Or maybe the lecturer has some bad thoughts towards his students and is ready to threaten first and then appease them in order to win Lily's favor?

Several possibilities flashed through his mind, but Angel rejected them one by one.

Since you can't think of an answer, let's use the "external brain"...

She casually took a pen, put several threatening letters together, took out the magic mirror and performed a magic mirror divination directly in the study.

"Mirror Mirror tells me the real reason why Kaliva Dupont threatened Lily Granger."

After injecting spirituality and reciting the divination words, gray mist quickly appeared on the surface of the magic mirror, displaying several brief scenes.

Almost all were clips of Kaliva's daily life at home and school, some giving lectures on the podium, doing pottery in the living room, and even clips of writing threatening letters, but the content she needed was not found in them.

"The divination results are completely irrelevant to my needs... This is probably due to some kind of interference. It does not directly interrupt the divination, but shows some false results?"

Angel mused, looking into the vanity mirror that reflected her face back.

After being promoted to a witch, she has performed magic mirror divination many times, but this is the first time that this situation has occurred. There must be an extraordinary person behind Kaliva who is proficient in divination and counter-divination to protect him.

But I had used the threatening letter to conduct divination at Lily's house and actually tracked the lecturer, without being disturbed at that time...

No, was it really the "real divination result" at that time?Angel suddenly realized that perhaps the first divination result might have been misled or interfered with.

She remembered Sherlock's words: "Relying too much on divination can easily put yourself in danger."

At that time, the two had just solved a demon dog that was deceived by the divination results and sent to their door...

At this moment, Angel felt that the slanting sunlight outside the study window seemed a little dim, and the furnishings in the study returned to normal after a moment of blur, as if a moment of absent-mindedness caused a loss of concentration.

But the coldness of the hidden holy symbol on her wrist made her react immediately.

He was pulled directly from his waking state into a dream!

She subconsciously looked out the window, then glanced at the door. She didn't see anyone entering the study, but she knew that even nightmares had the ability to pull people into dreams remotely. Assuming that the attacker was a "Requiem Master", even You can do all this from a hundred meters away without risking your life.

But simply pulling me into a dream is useless. He must have the cooperation of other teammates, such as taking advantage of my sleep to approach me in reality and arrest me...

This is how the Nighthawks operate!

Angel's heart beat a little faster. She didn't expect that she would become the target of the Nighthawks.

Could it be the team that monitors and protects Lily?But how did they find it here?

Without thinking about it, she held the secret Holy Emblem in her right hand. With a thought, she immediately returned to reality from the dream. This process was extremely simple. She believed that even without the help of the Holy Emblem, she would soon find herself in a dream and escape from it. These shackles.

The opponent may only have Sequence 7...

With this thought in mind, she opened her eyes. The sun was still shining brightly outside the window, and there were several threatening letters she found on the table in the study. Everything seemed unchanged.

But there were already quick, chaotic footsteps outside the door, and more than one person was going upstairs and approaching the study.

The next second, Angel's figure disappeared into the study. At the same moment, the door was kicked open. Loretta, with black hair and black trench coat, kicked the door open. Borgia and Borgia, who had knife marks on their faces, She passed by and rushed into the study, aiming her revolver everywhere, but she couldn't find anyone.

"Escaped? No, maybe invisible!"

Borgia's hawk-like eyes swept across the study, he raised the revolver without hesitation, quickly cocked the hammer, turned the magazine, skipped two bullets, and then fired a shot at the ground.

"boom--"

Among the phantom phosphorescent powder flying in the sky, an outline outlined by a white halo appeared in the corner of the study.

Angel never dreamed that the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" that he worked so hard to produce in Tingen City and submitted to the Church of the Night Goddess would one day be used on him.
