Chapter 2563: Kaming Family Timeline

Although it was investigated that Mrs. Kaming was an "abandoned baby" picked up by the old timber merchant couple in the woods, the Gray Gloves didn't investigate how Mrs. Kaming got into the woods.

The timber merchant didn't want everyone to know that he had lost his fertility, so he always claimed to the outside world that the current Mrs. Kaming was his own daughter. If the Gray Gloves hadn't found the old servant who drove for the merchant, even the matter of "picking up a crying baby girl in the woods" wouldn't have been investigated.

"The data says that after the timber merchant and his wife died one after another, according to the will, two-thirds of the property was left to the merchant's brother's two sons, and one-third was given to Mrs. Kaming as a dowry. That's why the Kaming family now has the qualifications to intervene in the local timber industry as an 'outsider builder'."

He read the data, and Miss Wen Si Lai Te handed him another file:

"As for Mrs. Bennett's situation, it is easy to investigate. Her family was also very glorious before, and they had their own farm and logging yard.

The girls under my hand found her former neighbors in the village near Vista City. The old lady with a fairly good spirit said that Mrs. Bennett's mother did give birth to a child before her, but that child went missing in 1809 at the age of one."

Xia De looked up:

"Is the time of that child's disappearance close to the time the timber merchant couple picked up the child?"

"Very close, or rather, it was the morning and afternoon of the same day in the summer of 1809."

"The current investigation results are only these, but it can be inferred that Mrs. Kaming, who is one year older than Mrs. Bennett, was stolen and then deliberately placed on the path that the old timber merchant couple had to pass.

Otherwise, Vista Woods is so big, there is no reason for them to happen to see that baby. And the child was taken away in the morning and happened to be adopted in the afternoon, this is really a coincidence."

These things are only related to Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Kaming. Although it seems to have nothing to do with Baron Kaming and little Kaming, the strange "father and son" pair, since there is a problem, Xia De feels that it is likely to be related to the Baron father and son:

"Are there any investigation results for the baby disappearance case that year?"

This time Miss Wen Si Lai Te shook her head:

"At that time, Creekwood Town was still in the transition stage to Vista City. This is a small place, and there were not many police officers. The sheriff of the small town at that time mobilized people to find it, and the only clue obtained was that a strange man appeared in the town at that time.

After the investigation, no one knew where that outsider came from or where he went. It was summer at that time, and there was no rain locally, and even footprints could not be left."

"In other words, there are no clues at all?"

"No, there is one person who clearly saw the thief who stole the baby that year. But a one-year-old baby's brain development is incomplete, and it is estimated that that memory is very difficult to display completely."

Miss Dannister reminded, and Xia De also understood:

"Yes, Mrs. Kaming must have seen the other party back then... Is the method of extracting memory ready?"

All three ladies smiled:

"Knew you would ask this. We went out together this morning after breakfast, before you came."

"Extracting memories from infancy requires strong professionalism. Although we are not Ringed Ringed Shushi who specialize in this, Dannister casually borrowed those alchemy items made by the professors from your academy."

Miss Beier walked to the window and pulled the curtains. There was no need to turn on the lights during the day, so the room darkened at once.

The red-haired girl had a conical bottle in her hand, and a group of warm white light was shaking in it:

"The reason why artifacts are not used is to avoid ordinary people coming into contact with whisper elements as much as possible. Whether there is the content we need in this memory is still unknown, so try your luck."

Miss Beier put the water basin on the coffee table. As Miss Dannister put the light from the conical bottle into the water, the four people saw the illusory projection appearing above the water basin together.

A series of discontinuous pictures flashed quickly in the dark room. The early memories belonging to Mrs. Kaming were even more fragmented than Xia De imagined.

Fortunately, Miss Dannister had a way. She tapped her fingers twice in the air, and those quickly flashing pictures all unfolded, and soon hundreds of different pictures were scattered in the room.

The semi-transparent pictures flickering with faint light were mostly blurred, and it required excellent patience to carefully distinguish the scenes.

So Miss Wen Si Lai Te said to her apprentice:

"Call all the girls who are not performing tasks outside, whoever finds the key picture, I can let her choose a middle-ring secret art to learn."

"No need for that."

Xia De raised his hand and walked forward, and the three ladies also followed her. "She" informed Xia De of the investigation results. Xia De pointed to a picture that was probably a child's perspective looking at the baby room:

"Can it be enlarged?"

"Yes."

The red-haired girl reached out and wiped forward, so all other pictures disappeared. Then she pinched her five fingers at the picture Xia De pointed out, and as her fingers slowly spread, the picture was also expanding. Finally, she flicked her wrist lightly, and the enlarged picture moved to the wall... The Outlander felt that this operation had a sense of déjà vu.

All four people gathered to the wall. The details in the enlarged picture were still very fine, but the originally blurred places were still blurred:

"Who is this?"

The corner of the picture was the window of the room. I don't know if the window glass hadn't been wiped for a long time or other reasons, but the face that appeared outside the window was weird and hazy, but at least it could be seen that it was a man.

"Can you find a way to make this clearer?"

Xia De asked again. He didn't hold out hope originally, but didn't expect Miss Dannister to nod:

"Yes. The academy has professors who specialize in the restoration of ancient murals. In the case where time reversal is difficult to achieve, based on the remaining pictures and color traces, the picture is divided into different points, combined with the color distribution of the same type of murals, and through a series of complex calculations, the complete appearance of that painting can be simulated."

Xia De felt that this idea also had a sense of déjà vu.

"Of course, this method is only effective for pictures that do not contain elements. Fortunately, Mrs. Kaming is just an ordinary person, and her memory has not been deleted or modified."

She gestured at the glowing picture again, so the blurred man's face gradually became clearer as if it were filled with colors and details layer by layer.

And before that face was completely restored, Xia De recognized who it was, and he widened his eyes:

"Looks like a young man... James Kaming?"

"No, don't jump to conclusions so early."

Miss Wen Si Lai Te stopped him, her golden eyes staring tightly at the face that was completing the final restoration:

"It does look very much like the current James Kaming, but if you look closely, there is still a difference.

I specialize in animal transformation, and I am very sensitive to the characteristics and details of living things. If the hair color, cheekbone shape, and eye size restored by Dannister are correct, this is not James Kaming, this is Kane Kaming!"

"Who?"

Xia De was startled, and Miss Xia Luote-Beier reminded softly:

"That is James Kaming's son and non-biological father, which is the current Baron Kaming."

All of them were stunned. Xia De asked again:

"The Baron Kaming's age is about the same as his wife's, right?"

"Five years apart, so when the baby was stolen at the age of one, the Baron should only be six years old, not the twenty-year-old appearance we see."

The red-haired girl nodded, and Xia De covered his forehead:

"So Baron Kaming also has a time curse, and it's not because he was born from time travel at all. If our speculation is correct, then he probably also used the tree hole? What is going on with this family?"

Miss Wen Si Lai Te quickly drew the face restored from the memory picture with strange arts. Everyone sat down again, and Miss Dannister put forward a new idea:

"Since the third tree hole book 【Open the Forest Door: Our Animal Friends】 that Xia De saw was once in the hands of Baron Kaming's mother Erika, and is now in the hands of James Kaming, then this book probably appeared in Baron Kaming's hands."

Miss Wen Si Lai Te picked up the report again:

"Baron Kaming's mother passed away when he was in his teens, this makes sense. But if the Baron also discovered the secret of that book, why did he give the book to his son? Well, give it to his father? Or rather, what exactly did he learn through that book?"

"Let's summarize the current situation."

Xia De rubbed his face:

"According to the chronological order, in 1802, a girl named Erika met James Kaming who traveled through time, and then in..."

"In 1803, the current Baron Kaming was born. At that time, she was already the Baroness."

The witch holding Baron Kaming's data said.

"Then in 1808, the current Mrs. Kaming was born. In 1809, she was stolen by Baron Kaming, who traveled through time, at the age of one, and was adopted by the old timber merchant couple. Her younger sister was in the following..."

The witch continued to add:

"Her younger sister, Mrs. Bennett, was born in the autumn of the same year. Then it was 1817, eight years later, when Erika passed away. The 14-year-old Baron Kaming discovered the secret of that book at an unknown age later. In his twenties, which was the 1820s, he traveled through time to 1809."

Miss Beier used magic to make a whiteboard float in the air, and she drew the timeline based on everyone's narration.

"In 1830, the 22-year-old Mrs. Kaming gave birth to James Kaming with an unknown person. Of course, this child was regarded as a son by the 27-year-old Baron Kaming at that time. But whether the Baron knew the truth, none of us can say clearly.

Two years later, in 1832, Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Bennett gave birth to their eldest daughter, Jane Bennett. Then it has been 22 years until now, James Kaming traveled through time to see the past Erika, and got engaged to Jane Bennett this year." ===== CHAPTER 2564 =====
