People around you can see this. In such a comparison, the two young ladies who caught the pigeons, although they have completed the hunting mission, look a little bit...After all, men like gentle and kind girls. , Not the girl who can catch the pigeon.

   Miss Jones and Miss Borbo stared at Miss Stuart’s face, trying to say something but suppressing the desire. I felt stupid to stay here again, so he exchanged a few polite greetings before turning to leave.

   Of course, the superficial goodbye must be done well, but when I turn around and leave, I feel a little frustrated.

   Jenkins has changed another look at this time, standing with Alexia, watching Miss Stuart coming towards them.

   "Did you heal those two pigeons?"

   asked the short lady.

   "Yes, I found that since that dream in the tavern, I feel stronger for the spirit of life. The two pigeons probably wanted to thank me, so they hovered over my head twice before leaving."

   He was standing very close to Miss Stuart.

"Is that right?"

   Alexia whispered.

   She knows very well that there will be no such change in the general healing ability. And Jenkins’s performance now looks like a legendary elf talent...Miss Audrey didn’t share everything with her friends, but now Alexia has also been exposed to the truth. .

   She looked at Jenkins's somewhat pointed ears, and then remembered the birth of the Evergreen Forest that the two had witnessed together, her eyes rolled and her smile deepened.

   The end of the hunt and the disappearance of the prince have nothing to do with Jenkins. When the hunters returned to the city, he bid farewell to his friends and returned to Nolan City alone. Although Miss Stuart wanted to invite him to the palace as a guest, Jenkins was very tired today.

  Walking around in the cold Northland, the mood of worrying about the daytime has indeed improved a lot, but he will never forget the scene he saw in front of the tombstone today.

   He vowed that if he had a chance, he would avenge the dead family. Even if the two parties are not related, the death of the innocent really offended Jenkins.

   Early on Sunday morning, instead of waiting at the old antique shop for the follow-up of the undead recovery, he waited for the police detective from Carfax Field instead.

Chapter 749 Chapter 734

   This is about 8 o'clock on Sunday morning. Dad and Jenkins guess how many guests will come today, and the bet is the task of sorting out the warehouse in the evening. Before the two of them had decided to tell their numbers, the police detective in uniform politely opened the door and walked in.

  He didn't come here because Jenkins was about to be arrested. The inspector just came to inform Jenkins about the follow-up of the incident that night.

   "Now the investigation is very clear, Mr. Williams, thank you for your contribution to the city of Nolan. I think the families of the deceased will thank you, and the souls of the innocent will rest in peace."

   The man he caught was indeed the midnight homicide who committed multiple crimes recently, and it was no coincidence that Jenkins' house was found. I just want to murder some famous people to get the pleasure of killing.

   Even criminals have universal vanity. Obviously, killing ordinary people is completely different from killing Jenkins Williams.

   He obtained Jenkins' address and specific information little by little from newspapers and publishing houses, and broke into his home that night to prepare for the murder. It's a pity that Jenkins went out to walk the cat and was not at home, and when he came back he noticed that his warning spell was abnormal, otherwise...otherwise he would not be able to succeed. An ordinary person wanted to murder the fourth-level gift with a knife. Or, this is as crazy as going to slay a dragon.

   Because there is a church to help with this, Jenkins doesn’t even need to go to the police station. The police officer who came told Jenkins that the trial of the criminal would take place later in February, and he would be notified to go on the sidelines at that time.

   "Is my luck really bad?"

   Jenkins asked with emotion until the police officer left. There are so many well-known people in Nolan City, but he is unfortunately implicated.

   "In the eyes of ordinary people, although you are very famous, you are not a government official after all. There will be no guards with guns or hired bodyguards by your side."

   The old man lowered his head and replied. He was reading the newspaper.

   "In other words, I have been a bit too active recently in front of the public, so I have caused such a disaster?"

   "Well...I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but don't change your lifestyle because of accidents. It is a small probability event."

   The old man comforted that he didn't want Jenkins to go back to the two-point-one-line life of home and antique shops in the past.

   "I think you have been under too much pressure recently. Fate has given you too much burden. Maybe you should find a way to relax, such as..."

   "No, I don't need to take a holiday, that would be really torture."

   Jenkins shook his head quickly.

"I also think you'd better stay in Nolan, which is good for everyone. Although there are still various problems around you, at least the church can help you... why not join friends What about our parties? I noticed that young people always like lively salons or prom parties with beautiful girls."

   Jenkins did participate in such an event, but it was all invited by Hathaway and Britney. After no one invited him, he stopped paying attention to such things.

   "I know you hate activities like this, but it’s just a waste of all night to try it."

   Dad is still bewitching him, and realizes how to persuade Jenkins:

   "Chocolate doesn't like staying in the house, right? I heard that cats need more exercise to live longer."

"Is that right?"

   Jenkins was really tempted by this sentence. The old man's sentence just now makes sense. It is true that the cat should not be cruelly shut in the house. Taking it for a walk and participating in social activities may indeed be beneficial to the health of chocolate.

   "In the evening you seem to be going to the opera house with your friends. That is a good opportunity. You can ask them if there are any dance parties or salons to be held recently. I don't think anyone will refuse you to join."

   After the old father's reminder, Jenkins once again realized the scene to face in the evening. He became bored again, wondering how to deal with the night's affairs.

   But in any case, the river of time will not stop or go backwards because of the will of mortals. Although Jenkins extremely hoped that his father could find a reason to keep him working overtime, this hope did not come true.

   He tidied away his things, then looked at his father, hoping that he could say something to keep himself.

   Dad didn’t know exactly what Jenkins wanted to do, nor did he know what happened between him and the girls. Seeing that Jenkins wanted to stay away, he decisively blasted him out.

   sullenly went home to change clothes, and then had dinner again. The carriage stopped at the intersection of St. George Avenue at 6:30 punctually. Jenkins stood in his own hall thinking for a long time before he walked out the door with his disobedient heartbeat.

   "Meow~"

   Chocolate stands innocently beside the cane, reminding the man not to forget himself.

   This is not the first time Jenkins sits in the same carriage with Hathaway and Britney, but it is the most embarrassing one.

Both ladies wore long dresses that looked like they would be worn at a formal dinner party. Their beautiful hair wore hats with plain fake flowers and overcoats to prevent colds, but they could be seen from the cuffs and worn on their hands. Wearing white lace gloves.

   Jenkins was very grateful that he was really bored when he was waiting, so he carefully prepared the clothes for the trip, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing now.

   But things were better than he thought, at least when he bent over and walked into the car, and his eyes intersected with Britney's, the **** the other side just nodded slightly as usual, and did not show a strange look. Hathaway did not show a strange look, and even took the initiative to move away from her position and let her sit opposite Britney.

   "Yes, nothing happened."

   Jenkins told himself in his heart that he politely greeted the girls, and then sat opposite them with a smile.

   This is an abnormal expression, because he rarely shows an expression that he only uses in a store when facing an acquaintance.

   Hathaway didn't say anything about it, the three of them were just discussing Jenkins' new house and new book along the way. He was grateful for the current situation, but until he always evaded like this, something would happen one day.

   "But as long as it's not today, it's fine."

   There was such a shameful idea of ​​escape in his heart.

   It was only a week or so before the girls got Jenkins's new book, but it seemed that both of them had read it. Britney became very excited when she talked about it, in fact a little too excited.

  PS: There is one more chapter at noon.

Chapter 750 Chapter 735 Up and Down the Stage (Part 1)

  The carriage departed from St. George Street and headed for the opera house outside the city. The atmosphere in the carriage looked very friendly. Yes, very friendly.

   Hathaway did not respond to the enthusiasm shown by Brian, she always maintained that calm expression, and occasionally talked to Jenkins about the plot of the story. I could hear that she had been catering to Britney's words, and she hadn't talked about her opinion at all. In fact, Jenkins would love to hear Hathaway's views on her new book, but this can only be asked when Britney is away.

   "So this book should be a success. The bookseller will now send me letters every day. If the numbers he provided are correct, then I think the current situation is very optimistic."

   "Of course, this is definitely the most romantic book of this century, Jenkins, you have to understand this."

   "Romantic?"

   Jenkins didn't know how Brian came to this conclusion, but he was not stupid enough to refute it either. He reached out and touched the cat lying on the side, and Chocolate's back moved in response.

   "So are there any plans for the next book now?"

   Brian asked again, trying to hold Jenkins's hand, but was avoided by the man without a trace.

   "No, not yet."

   Jenkins shook his head and replied. He put the cat on his knees and stroked it with both hands. Now no woman can find a reason to hold his hand.

   all the way to the Royal Opera House, the servant arranged by Mr. Nellie greeted the three at the door. Although today is the night of the weekend, it should be the busiest time of the opera house, but in order to cope with the new performances of the troupe, the opera house rarely arranges any performances.

   Jenkins, who was sitting at the door, got out of the carriage first. Brian wanted to follow but Hathaway held her hand.

   "You have something wrong today."

   The red-haired girl reminded with a gentle voice: "Britney, what happened between you and Jenkins?"

"It's nothing."

   The blonde girl shook her head and didn't look at the face behind her: "Nothing, just surprised at his talent."

   When she said this, she realized the stupidity of such an answer, but now she has no better choice.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

   There was a moment of silence, and the two got out of the carriage as if nothing happened. Jenkins was already waiting for the two girls to appear.

   When I came here in the past, there was always a crowd of people rubbing shoulders and shoulders. Gentlemen and ladies in various dresses and formal attire, talking about the topic of "elegance" came in one by one. And this time when he climbed the steps of the opera house, there were only servants and friends around him, which made Jenkins very unaccustomed.

   Probably because there are no spectators, both the lobby before the entrance and the auditorium under the stage are extremely empty. Britney also sighed on the side:

   "I never knew it was so big here."

After getting off the car, Jenkins saw that his companions were all wearing high heels and walking in the slightly empty opera hall. The heels hit the ground and made a crisp thumping sound, which spread far under the mild light. .

   The actors on the stage nervously conduct a final check. The backstage staff in casual clothes and the actors in exaggerated costumes are standing together, which is quite funny.

   Compared with the lively stage, the audience is not quiet. The wealthy Mr. Nellie was already waiting for the three of them. He stood with a red face under the stage and took the initiative to walk a few steps and shake hands with Jenkins:

   "You are finally here."

   What Jenkins needs to do today is to sit in the audience and watch the entire performance, and then give the corresponding guidance.

   It was only then that he finally understood why his companions had to deliberately put on makeup. Because in addition to the three of them, there were also some invited critics and newspaper reporters. Jenkins even saw a camera being erected, and a young man on the side was struggling to come from the background carrying a bucket. .

   This is "fire fighting equipment" prepared to prevent fires. Old-fashioned camera flashlights burn, which can easily cause fires. Especially in such buildings with wood everywhere, you should be careful.

   "Mr. Williams!"

   He heard someone calling his name, but he only pretended to be chatting with Mr. Nellie without hearing it. Because of the various things that happened recently, it was not that the newspaper did not send him an interview invitation, but those letters were thrown into the fireplace by him as rubbish.

   Of course it’s not good to just pretend to be stupid. In the end, he was forced by Hathaway behind him to talk to the reporters. This is quite boring, because people’s questions are all about the Fabry scam. Of course they also heard that the Church of the Sage is going to hold another public speech for this, but no one other than the Sage’s believer was invited.

   After being so noisy for a while, Jenkins gradually got bored. Fortunately, the deputy director of the opera troupe, Mr. Dolock Hardicks, appeared from the backstage in time and announced to everyone that the performance was about to begin. Then the people calmed down and found their own seats.

   Jenkins sits in the second row with his friends, and there is no one in the first row. On the left and right sides of him were two girls, and his cat was lying on his lap. I thought Hathaway would be willing to sit with Britney, but in the end somehow, it became what it is now.

  The actors are in place, the audience enters the room, and as the bright overhead lights are extinguished, the spotlight lanterns transmitted from the stage cover the first young detective to appear.

   The opera began.

   Even though this is something Jenkins wrote himself, he still feels bored. Some small movements in the dark auditorium would not be noticed by nearby people, so he moved his hand down very dishonestly, and then lightly touched the tail of the chocolate.

   In the sudden and exciting music-which represents the departure of the train-the cat raised his head and looked at Jenkins, his eyes shone with fear.

   Seeing that chocolate is not easy to provoke, he gave up teasing, turned to observe Hathaway, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment of the last time the two met. At that time, she knelt on one knee on the kitchen floor of Jenkins's house, asking Jenkins to agree, and she would lead her on the road to music.

   Jenkins did not express his attitude at the time, but actually refused. Now I was afraid that she would think of it again because of the opera, so I dispelled the plan to whisper to her.

   Turn around and look at Miss Mihail...

   "Forget it, I'll watch the opera."

   He thought in his heart, sitting tightly and covering his hands on the cat's back, intending to earnestly fulfill the purpose of coming here. Suddenly a hand on the right side stretched out and took Jenkins' right hand.

   "Britney..."

Chapter 751 Chapter Seven Hundred and Sixth Chapter Up and Down (Part 2)

Jenkins froze while holding his hand. He thought it was his female partner's hand, but if he remembers correctly, then whether it is Hathaway or Britney, it is not too troublesome to wear under the clothes. Lace gloves. But the hand holding him was obviously bare, and his body temperature was a little cold. Feel it carefully, it seems that the size is not right.

   recalled, sitting right behind was a bald-headed middle-aged critic, the kind of man who seemed to know that he was very rigid. It is impossible for him to do such a prank, which means that no one nearby can reach this position, so the owner of the hand should not be a normal human.

"Ok......"

   Jenkins feels that he has found what he should do now.

   He raised his head and looked around, trying to make sure that no one was paying attention before he acted. But I didn't notice that in the black hole where an arm was stretched out at the bottom of the chair, another Guang/Jie/Chi/Guo arm stretched out. In terms of size and thickness, it does not belong to the same person as the one holding Jenkins.

   In just a few seconds, more and more hands appeared under Jenkins's seat, and then quickly stretched upward. Most of them held his leg, no matter how hard the man struggled, he couldn't get away.
