Charles Fitzgerald's unexpected visit caused a strong impact on Joan's state of mind. He returned to the dormitory and sat at the desk alone, recalling the details of Fitzgerald's disclosure about Martin's murder of Walter Lee, and fell into a long time. meditation.
Joan respects the law, but does not have the faith to defend the law unconditionally.
Martin Smith could have continued to conceal the truth of the murder, which would greatly help his absconding. However, Martin not only confided his criminal facts to Fitzgerald, but also told Tofiz Gerald to pass on these details to him. Joan couldn’t figure out what the reason Martin was doing this was bad for himself. Lee’s decision, but it’s not difficult to feel Martin’s trust in himself.
Now that Fitzgerald has hinted that he does not want him to disclose the details of Martin’s crime, Joanne can only remain silent, but it does not mean that this matter will end.
Joanne can keep his promise and not reveal the truth to the police or others, but he will not give up personally tracing the whereabouts of Martin Smith until he takes back the Soul-Bottle from his hands and releases the soul of the prisoner Rolls.
Just the liberation of the soul can't resurrect a dead person. If possible, Joan also wants to visit a quasi-legendary priest who is proficient in 9th-level magic, and seeks to request the other party to perform the resurrection magic to reinvigorate Rolls.
Of course, at present, these ideas are still far away and seem unrealistic, but Joan will never give up hope because of the slim hope.
After a long time of thinking, Joan's mind gradually calmed down, so he temporarily put down this thing, opened the book on the table, and re-entered the magic research.
Time flies so fast that by the end of October, Joan’s spell research has been preliminarily completed, and the project of upgrading the "Prosthetic Eye" has also been a great success. Just when he was planning to bid farewell to Leiden College, he received it this morning. Two letters.
The first letter Joan received today was sent by the Vassar’s servant, saying that Lieutenant Colonel Vassar returned to Port Leiden to report his job. He just arrived home yesterday, and today happened to be a weekend, he wrote to invite Joan to go Farm stay as a guest.
The second letter was received later.
The letter "People" was a crow, the "animal messenger" sent by Xiao Miao. The letter revealed that Ms. Miranda Fisher, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who was previously imprisoned by the assassination of two professors at Leiden College, had been arrested by the police. Declared acquitted.
This result is inseparable from the various efforts of Xiao Miao and others, and Joan has played an irreplaceable key role in the investigation of the murder.
After being released, Ms. Miranda was very grateful to everyone who participated in the rescue. She originally planned to host a banquet to treat everyone. Later, after listening to teacher Benny talking about Joan’s introverted personality, she did not like to participate in social activities such as banquets and decided to hold a banquet. I previously invited Jo Ann to meet him individually, and to thank him.
Joan's main purpose in investigating the murder was to catch the real murderer and avenge his mentor. As for helping Ms. Miranda clear the suspicion, it was just incidental. I felt that the other party did not need to be so serious and thank him in person.
But in the letter, Xiao Miao repeatedly told him to go to the appointment on time, and said that it was good for him. Joan couldn’t escape, so he had to go to the newspaper office by taking the early morning public carriage. He planned to leave after a casual entertainment, and went to visit Vernon Mountain Villa Lieutenant Colonel.
The public carriage stopped at the corner near the newspaper building. Joan jumped out of the carriage and saw Xiao Miao wandering around the street in the distance. He looked around and was clearly waiting for someone.
"Sister Miao, good morning." Joan walked towards Catwoman and greeted him by the way.
"Good morning Joan, I'm worried that you won't come to the appointment!"
Xiao Miao greeted him happily, took his hand, and ran to the newspaper building without any explanation.
"Come with me. Sister Miranda is waiting for you in the office! This old woman has a bad temper and has no patience. The most annoying thing in life is waiting for someone. Don't make her angry!"
Joan heard a headache and said helplessly: "Sister Miao, I have received Ms. Miranda's kindness, but there is no need to thank you in person."
"Are you sure?" Xiao Miao glanced back at him, thieves gleaming in the emerald-like eyes, "Sister Miranda has always been very loyal, thank you not only stay in the mouth, you Are you sure you are not interested in her Xie Li?"
"Uh, there is Xie Li? Why is this so embarrassing..."
"Come on! I've seen through your "little treasure fans" thoughts, what do I pretend to do with my sister!"
Xiao Miao dragged Joan into the "wind-operated ladder", and the cabin slowly ascended and asked him, "Is there any news about Martin Smith recently?"
Joan hesitated and shook his head gently.
Xiao Miao did not ask too much, and changed to a more relaxed topic.
"The murder investigation report co-authored by Ah Chi and Mr. Benny has been serialized in the newspaper. It is very popular among readers and the number of newspaper subscriptions has increased greatly! My colleagues in the newspaper are very happy and said that this is "blessed by misfortune."
Joan nodded and agreed, but actually didn't want to listen to Xiao Miao's nagging. As the floor rose, his mood became more tense.
The "wind-operated ladder" came to a halt on the top floor of the building, and the ladder door opened slowly.
Xiao Miao took Joan's hand through the corridor directly opposite the ladder door, stopped outside an office door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The voice from across the door was cold and majestic, prompting Joan to recall the "Mrs. Wolf" wearing a silver mask.
"Big sister, I'll bring Joan to you!"
"It's hard for you, Xiao Miao, there's nothing more about you here."
"What do you mean, Big Sister's Head! When the call is over, send the others away. Is Miss Ben just a'tool person' in your eyes?"
Catwoman's petiteness sounded in the office, and then there was a deep laughter.
"Of course you are not a ‘tool man’, my dear little cat, you are a ‘tool cat’.
"Damn old woman!" Xiao Miao rushed out of the office and said to Joan: "Come in, the old woman just wants to talk to you alone."
Joan dared into the office, closed the door, turned to look across the desk, and he couldn't help but stunned.
He heard Xiao Miao confess that his boss is an "old woman". He thought he was going to face an unsmiling, dignified and middle-aged woman, which is also in line with the identity of the newspaper editor.
However, the reality runs counter to his imagination. Sitting across the desk is a young and beautiful lady, who looks like she is in her early twenties, with crystal glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a short, almost transparent, golden hair with short hair that highlights intellectual beauty.
When Miranda Fisher met with a smile, Joan noticed that she was wearing a well-cut red and black checkered tartan jacket with trousers and high-heeled leather boots, which immediately formed a chic and capable in his mind. impression.
