Chapter 298 Missing
Inquire about Mr. Holmes?

Did something happen to him?

Rosie couldn't help shrinking her pupils, and she immediately remembered the situation when Sherlock came to find her a few days ago.

Suppressing the bad premonition in her mind, she said frankly:

"Yes, I have met Mr. Holmes a few times, and we have a good relationship. What's wrong with him?"

"He's missing."

While speaking, Fan kept his eyes fixed on her expression, "According to my investigation, he wandered around your house many times before he disappeared."

"Missing?!!"

Rosie is suddenly reminded of the mysterious disappearance of Hayley Gregory and Margaret.

Could it be that Mr. Holmes found the castle and disappeared likewise?
Feeling a little worried in her heart, she said bluntly:
"Yes, four days ago at about nine o'clock in the evening, when I got home, I found Mr. Holmes prowling around my house."

Going forward to open the courtyard door, he met Shang Fan's eyes: "He wanted to invite me as an assistant to assist him in investigating Mrs. Margaret's disappearance, but I refused him after I learned some relevant information."

There was no change in his facial expression when the case of Lady Margaret's disappearance was brought up.

Obviously, he knew about it, and even knew that Sherlock was investigating the case.

Walking into the courtyard from the place that Rossi stepped aside, Fan looked around to himself, and asked in a deep voice:
"Since he will come to you many times, it means that he has a certain trust in you and thinks that you will choose to assist him. So, what is your reason for rejecting him?"

Because I sensed the danger.

Muttering silently, Rossi pursed her lips: "I don't think it's meaningful to investigate this case."

It seemed that this answer was beyond Fan's expectation. He gave a questioning "Oh" and turned his gaze back to Rossi's face:
"No point? Why do you think there is no point?"

"Because a similar case happened 100 years ago, but no clue was found in the end."

Organized the language, Rossi slowly told the story of Hayley Gregory's mysterious disappearance.

"The case from 100 years ago, you can immediately think of it when Sherlock mentions the case of Mrs. Margaret?"

There was some suspicion in Fan's eyes.

Uh... Can I say, are these all system prompts?

Rossi casually said: "Keep in mind all the cases that have been investigated by the Ministry of Magic and temporarily shelved. That is the basic quality of a qualified Auror."

Hearing this, Fan "hehe" laughed twice, and walked straight into the room without saying anything more.

"Oh, by the way, can I go in and take a look?"

It was only when he walked in that he suddenly thought that he should ask the owner for permission first.

"It's okay, please feel free."

Seeing Fan who hung the top hat on the hanger at the door, casually patrolling the room as if visiting his own garden, Irene, who had been silent all this time, floated to Rossi:

"Sissy, what's the matter with this guy? He looks like he wants to investigate you! Also, who is that Sherlock Holmes?"

Rossi shook her head slightly, signaling her to ignore him, and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Holmes is a Muggle friend I knew before. He is a detective, very powerful."

At this time, Fan, who had seen the first floor all over, planned to go upstairs again.

"Sir! It's very rude to run around in a single woman's house!"

Sammy stopped the stairs with an apparition, and said sharply, "Even if you are a member of the correctional agency, if you want to search my master's house, you need to apply for a search warrant first! What's more, my master is an Auror from the Ministry of Magic." !"

"It's all right, Sammy, let him go."

Guessing that he is a friend of the punishment institution that Sherlock mentioned before, Rossi has no idea of ​​fighting wits with him.

However, upon hearing this, Fan, who had already stepped up the stairs with one foot, backed away.

"Do you have any clues or ideas about Sherlock's disappearance?" He asked as if he didn't have the previous crop.

clue?

Rossi suddenly remembered the address written on the back of that photo:

"I saw an address on that picture he showed me, it was..."

Fan took her words and said: "'England, London, Newcastle, Seyit Castle', I have seen this too, but I searched all over the map, and I couldn't find this country and city."

That's the name in the dungeon, it's no wonder you can find it.

Thinking inwardly, Rossi quietly winked at Irene who was surprised by the place name "London, England", and then turned to say:
"I remember that there seems to be a village called Newcastle near the city of Blantania..."

In fact, she didn't remember, but she was looking at the village called Newcastle on the map of Floo Network at the moment.

"I know, Sherlock and I have been to that place, but there is no castle called Seyit there. No, it should be said that there is no castle at all in that place."

Fan shook his head, then pondered for a moment and then said, "By the way, can you elaborate on all the conversations and details after meeting Sherlock?"

The full conversation and details after the meeting?
You might as well read it with Dementor!
Although she was complaining in her heart, Rossi still told the whole process of the meeting in detail. Then, she suddenly thought of a question, so she asked it back:

"By the way, since you found out that he came to my place before he disappeared, you should have also found out the place where he appeared last, right? Hmm...couldn't it be my place?"

"of course not."

Fan shook his head, "After he met you, he went out early in the morning the next day, and then disappeared."

"Then shouldn't you check the place where he last appeared?"

Irene finally found a chance to interject, "Isn't it enough to find the place where he last appeared and use his footprints to track him all the way?"

Hearing this, Fan couldn't help laughing and said, "Montag Street, where Sherlock lives, is considered to be the busiest street in Brantania, with tens of thousands of people passing by every day..."

He didn't continue, but the implication was that Irene's idea was purely clever, and there was no possibility of it being realized.

"I came to Miss Rossi to see if Sherlock got any clues from her."

Hearing what he said, Rossi immediately understood what he was thinking.

From the clues that Mr. Holmes has got in me, to guess what he will do and where he will go?

But did he get any clues from me?
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The disappearance of Hayley Gregory!"

"Well, I think so too." Fan nodded, approving Rossi's guess.

Eh?Did I just wander off?
Irene, who was listening to their conversation the whole time, suddenly felt that she couldn't keep up with her train of thought.

Fan Bian walked towards the door and added slowly: "Although there are no clues in these two cases, it is possible that Sherlock discovered something when they were put together."

He took off the top hat on the hanger and bowed, he smiled and said:
"Okay, Miss Rossi, thank you for your cooperation. If you have any clues about Sherlock's whereabouts, you can come to Montag Street to find me at any time. I recently lived in the house that Sherlock rented."
