Whispering Poems

Chapter 652 Spies and Vampires

"Oh!"

Xia De's physical fitness is too strong, so the opponent was knocked down.The stranger who was knocked down by Xia De let out a cry of pain, if he hadn't been pulled, he would have almost fallen to the ground.It's not that the other party intends to blackmail Xia De, but that the other party is too old.

"Feel sorry."

Xia De slightly raised his head to apologize, while the old gentleman who was bumped by him shook his head and said nothing.

Xia De's pupils contracted slightly, and the old gentleman in front of him who seemed not to attract attention was actually an acquaintance. It was he who had just thought an hour ago that the Kasenlik linguist who lived on the fourth floor of the Xikar Hotel, Lu Professor El Higgins.

Without showing the surprise in his heart, Shade helped Professor Higgins pick up the dropped hat, and then continued to walk forward.

[Not curious? 】

"Of course curious."

Even though he said this, Xia De still did not turn his head:
"Help me take a look, is he parked at the door of the NO.18 warehouse?"

[No, he continued to move forward. 】

"Sure enough, be cautious."

Shard turned right into the alley that joined Punjab Street.Standing in the alley and counting 30 numbers, when he walked out of the alley, Professor Higgins was no longer visible on the street.

I stopped the little boy who sold the newspaper and bought a copy of this morning's "Xikal Morning News".Then he entered the tobacco shop on the street, thinking about buying some tobacco leaves for the priest to smoke with a pipe, as a thank you for the thaumaturgy he provided.By the way, you can also meet Priest Augustus this Sunday.

This Sunday, Shad will go with Sister Devlin to meet the boy who is said to be able to see through death.After meeting Priest Augustus again, Luvia can use two or three coins to divination whether Xia De really met the chosen one that day.

Although the suspects are still limited to three people, it also means that it is possible to know whether the current guess is correct.

After all, they don't have extra coins to try one by one.

While shopping in the tobacco store, Xia De's eyes were still looking through the shop window, observing the NO.18 warehouse diagonally opposite.Sure enough, about 10 minutes later, Professor Higgins stepped out of the warehouse door with his hat pressed down almost exactly the same as that of Shad just now, and then walked towards the entrance of the street against the wall without looking back.

This proves that Shade's guess is correct, and Professor Higgins is also a gray glove.Compared with 20 minutes ago, he only had a black suitcase in his hand.

"Receiving the goods, it's just a suitcase? What can I put in it?"

Xia De thought of it in surprise, stopped chatting with the shopkeeper about the earthquake, paid off the money for the tobacco leaves, and walked out of the shop with the newspaper.At this time, Professor Higgins had gone far away, but if Xia De wanted to chase him, he could still catch up with him before he got into the carriage at the next street corner or turned around.

[So, do you want to chase? 】

This time, Xia De didn't say he wasn't interested. Before the real goods appeared, he didn't want to touch the goods himself and get into trouble.But now the cargo has appeared, and it appears to be just a suitcase.

He was indeed curious about what it was, but he was still weighing in his mind whether he would get himself into other troubles if he kept up.

"However, there is no information in that pen. How did Professor Higgins know the location and time of the warehouse?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xia De still chose to follow.If the professor went straight to the train station and left the Kingdom of Delarion, then Shad would act as if he didn't know anything.But if the professor returned to the hotel, then Shad would probably decide whether to see what was in that suitcase according to the situation.

"It's four o'clock in the afternoon, leave Fort Midhill no matter what happens by 05:30. That way, 06:30 to Quill Street, ask Dorothy out to dinner, and tell Lacey It’s about the quantity of goods in Ya’s warehouse.”

Xia De made the arrangements, so he walked forward quickly and followed the figure of Professor Higgins.

In fact, for this Carson Rik agent, the safest way is to take that suitcase and immediately return to the United Kingdom of Carson Rik at the southern foot of the Rommel Mountains.But he didn't choose to do this, but actually returned to the Xikar Hotel.

Xia De deliberately dawdled behind for 5 minutes before entering the Xikaer Hotel.I thought the professor had already returned to his room on the fourth floor, but he didn't expect that the professor was actually sitting in the corner of the first floor, talking with a strange man with that suitcase.

The stranger looked about 30 years old, with blond hair clinging to his scalp, and his skin was very fair, but it seemed to be an unhealthy white.He was wearing a dirty black coat and his boots were covered in mud.

When Xia De saw the other party for the first time, red blood energy rose from the other party's body almost immediately, and then condensed on the top of the other party's head into a cute, blood-red little bat symbol.

Only Xia De could observe this scene, he was a little surprised, and then realized that this is the new effect that the vampire god added to his [Blood Echo] at the last reception, that is, it can Easily identify blood-sucking species.

"This identification method is really simple."

Xia De took another look at the little bat symbol floating above the opponent's head, then walked to the counter to ask for drinks.The owner, Mr. Thales, certainly remembered "Mr. John Watson" who helped him deal with the police, greeted him very familiarly, and recommended today's special wine to him.

At this time, Xia De probably understood how Professor Higgins learned about the warehouse.

Whether blood-sucking species belong to the undead race is still controversial in the circle of magicians, but they are indeed good at abilities such as psychics.Therefore, if Professor Higgins can find a way to break into the police station and steal the pen, of course he can also find a way to get the vampire to help him psychic the corpse.

"Speaking of which, the deputy chief of the police station did say that the body shot to death on the fourth floor was also moved on the night the pen was stolen. The pair of uncles and nephews on the fourth floor came into contact with blood-sucking species? Or, the Gray Gloves themselves are related to the local population of blood-sucking species?"

Guessing in his heart, Shade sat at the counter, chatting with the owner, Mr. Thales, about the earthquake that happened in the mountainous area yesterday.He planned to wait until Professor Higgins finished chatting with the strange vampire. He could try his luck with [Echo of the Past] and try to eavesdrop on their conversation.

But the conversation between the professor and the vampire was not harmonious, and after a while, the two had a dispute.The man with a pale face who looked very depressed stood up abruptly and said loudly:
"This is impossible, you promised me 200 pounds! If you don't pay now, you don't want to leave!"
