Chapter 3855
"Of course not. I'm not sure about the frequency of meetings between Detective Sparrow and Big-Mouthed Sparrow. It is unlikely that he is in the town now. If he really appeared when we arrived here, I would instead suspect whether all of this was someone's arrangement."
Xia De said, having experienced the story of fate, he no longer believed in coincidences:
"I just want to check the accommodation records of the hotels in the town. They definitely wouldn't register with their real identities, but fortunately, I have obtained most of the information about 'Gray-Headed Hawk' from Margaret, and I know the information about the fake identities he used."
"As long as I find the year and date Detective Sparrow came here to stay, I will know the frequency of his meetings with 'Big-Mouthed Sparrow' and the time of the next meeting. If it happens that there are strange people in the hotel who appear according to that frequency just like Detective Sparrow, the agent 'Big-Mouthed Sparrow' who has not been found yet might be identified."
"Of course, the premise of all this is that they really stayed in the town, and Big-Mouthed Sparrow used the same identity every time."
This matter sounds complicated, but for Xia De and Daniste, it is very simple, after all, it only involves ordinary people.
Although the town is not big, because there is a train passing through, there are two small hotels in the town. Xia De and Daniste went to look for them one by one that morning. Daniste hypnotized the hotel owner to find the registration books of the last ten years, and then Xia De used the "speed reading" method to look for familiar names.
Xia De was actually also worried that when Detective Sparrow came here, the name he used would be the kind of fake name he picked up casually that even the "Gray Gloves" had no record of. But fortunately, Xia De very smoothly saw the name he was looking for in the first hotel.
"Detective Sparrow comes once every two years, and it has been going on for eight years. The last time he came was in the spring of 1853, and the specific month and time point was almost a month later. Speaking of which, the next meeting time between him and Big-Mouthed Sparrow should be coming soon."
"What kind of information do your detective agent uncle and 'Big-Mouthed Sparrow' need to hand over when they meet here? So secretive, and the frequency is once every two years?"
Daniste asked, and Xia De was also very puzzled, but considering that "Gray-Headed Hawk" is the most elite ace agent, anything is possible:
"But I'm not sure if Big-Mouthed Sparrow will come again this year. Although the death of Gray-Headed Hawk has not spread, perhaps the two will do something in advance before meeting to determine the specific time and place... Let's look for other people who appear at the same frequency."
When Detective Sparrow came once every two years, he used the same name to stay. Very fortunately, "Big-Mouthed Sparrow" also had this habit. Although he stayed in another hotel in the town, Xia De also quickly found the other party according to the accommodation date.
The alias of "Big-Mouthed Sparrow" was Leon Elwood. This name also had no special features. Xia De also asked the hotel owner in a hypnotic state about his impression of this guest who visited once every two years.
But unfortunately, the hotel owner's memory of that "Leon Elwood" was not clear. The other party was not the kind of person with a very memorable point.
The clue seemed to be broken here, but Daniste then implanted a psychological suggestion into the hotel owner, letting him immediately send a letter to the nearest Academy asset institution when "Leon Elwood" visits the hotel next time. In this way, Xia De could know the appearance of the other party in time.
"So next, in addition to trying to hatch the egg and asking the teacher about the tower, we have two investigation clues. One is the missing person two years ago at Thorn Bay, and the other is this Big-Mouthed Sparrow."
Before leaving Mount Calas, Daniste summarized, and Xia De reminded:
"Although after experiencing the story of fate, we all know that there is no such thing as coincidence, but Detective Sparrow and Big-Mouthed Sparrow, for now, seem to have only come here to exchange information, and they are both ordinary people. There is no clear evidence to prove that they are related to the high tower."
"Oh, Xia De, at that most important time point, which is the spring of 1853, they came here so coincidentally. Then when we found this place now, their next meeting is about to begin again. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
The sorceress holding the egg raised her eyebrows at Xia De, and Xia De sighed:
"I just don't want to disturb Detective Sparrow's eternal sleep anymore. If Detective Sparrow is related to the supernatural, I would probably suspect whether there is another truth to his hurried death in the summer of 1853."
When the two returned to No. 6 St. Deran Square, it was 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. Xia De originally thought there was no one at home, but he didn't expect Dorothy, Galina, Amelia, and even Ellie to be here.
The girls seemed to be having a tea party. After Daniste, holding the egg, walked down from the third floor with Xia De, they were all extremely surprised:
"Daniste, you and Xia De went out for a week, and you got this?"
This joke was naturally made by Dorothy. Galina hated jokes about eggs, Amelia didn't dare to joke with Daniste, and Ellie didn't understand the meaning of the joke at all.
Since the chosen ones of space, time, and fate were all there, Xia De did not let Daniste leave, but explained the origin of this egg to everyone and asked them if they had any methods to create life or make seeds germinate.
Galina naturally didn't have any, Dorothy had read many fairy tales but couldn't think of a way for the time being, and Amelia, upon hearing that the person in the egg was the previous librarian, excitedly suggested that time could be accelerated to hatch the egg.
Unfortunately, the reason why this egg could not be hatched for the time being was not that it needed to wait, but that it lacked some key elements.
"Ms. Carter is a very gentle lady."
The little elf, who was over fifty years old and had seen Helena Carter in her long childhood, commented.
As for Ellie, she fell into deep thought after seeing the cat lazily lying on the egg. It wasn't until Dorothy asked her what she was thinking that she asked:
"Cat! Mia! Is she also born from an egg?"
But obviously, there was no such strange thing as a "cat egg" in this world.
In the end, the discussion among everyone had no results. The only common conclusion was that the girls thought the name "Moon Egg" was very interesting.
Subsequently, Daniste did not stay for lunch. She had been away from the Academy for a week and was in a hurry to go back.
Of course, when she went back, she took Amelia and Ellie with her. It was just that because the egg contained a soul, it could not be directly passed through the 【Space Labyrinth】 like an object, so Xia De turned the egg into a toy and sent it to the Academy.
Looking at it this way, the sleeping soul also trusted Xia De quite a bit.
"Then Xia De, since you left on Monday, we haven't seen each other for five days. What have you been doing this week?"
Galina and Dorothy had lunch with Xia De at home, and they heard about Xia De's experiences over the past week.
"Exploring, sleeping with a sorceress, dating, eating, sleeping with a sorceress, exploring... this week, your life is really simple."
The Duchess finally summarized it this way, obviously teasing that the "Red Moon Witch" had taken a big advantage this week.
Dorothy just smiled and listened to Xia De continue to tell about "Big-Mouthed Sparrow." The writer lady was very satisfied that Xia De could rush back today instead of staying at Mount Calas for another night.
After all, today is the 21st day of the Month of Rising Wind, which is her and Princess Lei Lei Qianya's Saturday.
During the week Xia De left Tobesk, nothing happened at home, except that Galina would occasionally stay here, missing her lover who was traveling far away.
And the weather in Tobesk seemed to have changed from the end of winter before Xia De left to the beginning of spring today during this week.
The fireplace at home was no longer lit, and the flowers that Luweiya raised on the windowsill were also regaining their vitality. The pigeons that Little Mia was thinking about outside the window had appeared again in the square waiting to be fed, and the attire of the people on the street was also changing from winter to spring attire.
Besides that, Galina and Dorothy also told Xia De about the things on Fatumonster Island.
Now there is only Claire left on the island, and Xiwei and Ms. Elise have also left. The preparation of the "Ring Hall," which is responsible for managing the Ring of Fate and the ruins afterwards, has ended. On Wednesday this week, the great witch of time, Adele, even went to the snow mountain specifically for this.
The Prophet Association left a letter for the town, hoping to try to turn the arc into ink to add a spiritual rune for an eleven-ring fortune teller. This matter still needs Xia De to decide; and Claire is still busy. At this time when everyone can enjoy the leisure time after the war, she still has to deal with various things on the snow mountain.
"You don't have to worry about Ellie. Amelia told us that she is very adapted to life in the Academy, and Winnie will visit her twice a week. However, during your absence, there are two more unicorns in the unicorn population of the Academy who have mastered human transformation. And among the four unicorns who have already enrolled, except for Ellie, the other three have also completed the job of a ring warlock."
The witch and the writer lady helped Xia De fill in the things that happened during this week, and Dorothy finally added:
"A few days ago, someone came to entrust a task. I was at home, so I took it and handled it for you. Speaking of which, your business here is really not very good. In a week, only one client came."
"When my maids help take care of the house, the frequency of clients coming is also one or two a week. After all, Xia De is a famous detective, and everyone thinks he charges very high, so ordinary entrustments rarely come to him."
Galina said with a smile, and gently rubbed Xia De with her foot under the dining table.
Xia De glanced at Galina and sighed again:
"It seems that after the big event is over, there will really be no more troublesome things... then how is the situation between the two countries now? Calas town is too closed, although there are newspapers, the credibility of the news in the newspapers is questionable."
