Mystery: The Fool's Witch Angel

"Why did you choose me, thinking I could help you." Hermione continued to ask.

"I...I heard last night..."

Before the little girl finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a red nose, unshaven beard and high hairline ran out. Seeing Elisa in the carriage, he grabbed the reins and shouted at Elisa, "How dare you run away?" .”

The middle-aged man took a breath, "You'd better go back with me, otherwise I'm not sure what punishment will be waiting for you later."

Eliza was even more frightened when she heard this, curling up into Hermione's arms and trembling.

The middle-aged man came closer, perhaps noticing that Royce and Hermione had different temperaments, and looked at Royce a little politely.

"Sir, this girl's mother asked me to take her home. I hope you and your daughter will not stop me."

In the eyes of middle-aged men, Hermione is just a compassionate teenage girl, and the calm-tempered Royce next to her is an elder.

Hermione comforted the trembling girl, thinking of her sister and herself in her dream, and couldn't help but sigh, wondering if her 'sister' was still alive.

Royce smiled and told the groom not to worry, he would make up for the expenses during this period.

He turned to the man who was chasing him and said, "Sir, could you let them chat for a while?"

"I'm already very polite. You should know these things."

The middle-aged man replied fiercely to Royce, very impatient. Obviously, although there are some things that everyone has a tacit understanding of, if it breaks out, he will definitely be taken first.

Judging from their clothing, the two people in front of them were either rich or noble, and they were not someone he could offend, so he could only give them a warning, hoping they would retreat in the face of difficulties.

Royce looked at the impatient middle-aged man, took out an ID from his pocket and handed it over.

The middle-aged man looked at it, and he could barely recognize the words "gao" and "inspector" inside. He handed it back with a little panic, and his aggressive demeanor changed instantly.

Royce asked again: "Can we have a word with this girl now?"

The middle-aged man replied flatteringly: "No problem, sir, I just want to take this girl home. Her mother told me specifically."

The middle-aged man emphasized the last words, and Royce naturally understood the voice-over.

Seeing this change, Hermione couldn't help but almost punched him. He was really a scoundrel, the same everywhere.

At this time, the little girl Eliza also calmed down when she saw the flattering man.

Hermione continued to ask: "What do you want to see me for?"

Elisa whispered: "My mother wanted to sell me and lied to me that this person would take me to find a good job and have enough to eat, but sister Inis went there before and never came back. .”

At this point, Elisa hugged Hermione and cried again.

"I heard the conversation between my mother and this person last night. My mother was going to sell me 5 pounds to someone else. I was so scared that I ran outside. Then there was a big explosion there. I met Stead who suddenly appeared and ran over. Uncle, he was all wet. He hugged me and ran away. Later, Uncle Stead fell on the pile because he was drunk. I was nesting on the wooden shed next to me and saw Uncle Stead pointing at you and calling you a monster. .”

Hermione thought for a moment, it must be the tramp last night, and she really wanted to slap him twice.

I am just an innocent young man who is lost in a foreign land. I am not a monster anymore. No wonder this girl looked familiar. It turned out to be the one who took her away last night.

"Later I asked Uncle Stead to help me. He asked me to run outside to the street and asked me to come find you. Maybe I would be lucky enough to meet you."

Hermione wiped the little girl's tears, "Do you know where your Uncle Steed is?"

"He helped me block the people who were chasing me. I don't know where he is hiding now?"

This luck made Hermione a little suspicious of Stead, and wanted to see if there was anything unusual about him.

The middle-aged man next to him also looked very unhappy after hearing this. This is the goods in the store. If he can't take it back, he won't be able to explain it to him when he goes back.

The person in front of him was the senior inspector of the National Police Agency, and he couldn't afford to offend him. He kept greeting his superiors and the elders of the person in front of him.

"This gentleman and this lady, it's not good for you to do this! After all, it was her mother who told me to take her back, and there is nothing I can do about it."

The middle-aged man had no choice but to bite the bullet. After all, these are everywhere, and the police can't break the rules! Some of you are still regular visitors.

Some people had already stopped to watch and started talking.

Hermione looked at Royce, and she probably knew that the little girl's family had "traded" her to someone else for some reason.

More than a thousand years have passed, is this still the case? In the past, I could still rely on my 'father' and 'sister' to be more willful.

Now that I am dependent on others and often encounter danger, how dare I involve ordinary people.

I can only ask Royce for help. Hermione thought for a moment and went out to rely on her friends.

"I probably understand. Can you take us to Eliza's house?"

Royce knew what Hermione meant from the look in her eyes, and asked the middle-aged man to lead the way to Eliza's house.

Royce and Hermione got out of the carriage, ended the rental of the carriage, and asked the middle-aged man to lead the way. Hermione held Eliza between herself and Royce.

"What's your name and what kind of job do you do?" Royce asked the middle-aged man.

"My name is Thomas Cady. I mainly help others introduce jobs and earn a small fee. Mr. Sheriff, you don't know how difficult it is for me to do this job..." Thomas, a middle-aged man, suddenly complained. , a runny nose and tears.

Hermione couldn't help but admire this. When she was chasing someone, she was still very domineering, but now she suddenly turned into a poor and weak face, quickly changing her identity.

"Mr. Sheriff, do you know? The last time I introduced the guy from Everton to Robert Stephenson Steam Company, he failed the interview and came back and beat me up. That is the best steam engine production company in Loon. , it was very difficult for me to get an interview opportunity, and Everton also said that I squandered his money, which is unfair..."

Thomas was still chattering to Royce, more like fawning.

Passing through the corridor, Hermione walked into the slum area. The low wooden sheds on both sides were stretched out to dry yellow and black clothes. People were constantly moving towards the factory area.

Royce seemed out of place on this road. Most of the people passing by took a glance and then continued walking forward, with dull expressions and dim eyes.

Royce suddenly thought of something and said to Hermione: "Hermione, this is the other side of the city, as Emperor Russell said: the price of progress."

"Perhaps you haven't thought about what Eliza's job is, but I have lived here for so long and I know very well that Eliza was sold by her mother to be a child prostitute. When I saw Eliza, I felt like my own daughter! I used to be burdened with a family curse, and when I saw my little daughter, I felt that my family was unlucky. Later, many big things happened and I suffered heavy losses, but I was very lucky to get rid of the curse! Looking back, I enjoy everything about my family. , who have the right to criticize my own family? The only thing I can do is let Glor make his own choice."
