Chapter 325: Someone Next Door

In the early morning, Erin returned to the new business district, Huoshu Street, and Black Butterfly Office in the carriage that was almost the earliest she had ever sat in.

But when she opened the door, she saw that Pauline, who was usually out or sleeping late, was spreading red paste on white bread.

Seeing this scene, Erin stared:

"What are you doing!?"

She recognized it. It was tomato paste, which she had just bought from the herbal store not long ago.

Although prices have been decreasing, they are still expensive.

"It's delicious with bread, would you like to try it?" Paulin smiled.

A few years ago, tomato paste was still used as a medicine, but he thought it would be good to eat with bread.

"ketchup" is probably better than "tomato paste", like caviar.

After muttering a few words, Erin didn't choose to put away the tomato paste as usual.

They are not short of money now, and they don't need to do everything possible to save money like they did a few months ago.

However, just as she puffed her cheeks, she was about to walk past Paulin, but at this moment, she sharply saw a piece of paper on the table.

A bank certificate of deposit.

Seeing the bank deposit slip, she was slightly taken aback.

That wasn't a certificate of deposit for both of them, that was another one.

Looking at Paulin, she asked in a low voice: "Diago, he might have been"

When the previous incident happened, the inside of the Thorn Tree suspected that Diego had already been killed, and was replaced by someone from the secret court or a Extraordinary from the Lantern Brotherhood.

"It's not important, Irene." Paulin, who had stopped spreading ketchup with a knife and fork, raised his head, glanced at her, and responded, "This is a man's promise, I said, I will leave a copy for him .”

After finishing speaking, the knife and fork in his hand slightly forcefully cut the soft white bread in half:

"I don't know whether he is dead or alive, but I am willing to believe that he is still alive, and that is enough."

"You're always like this, Paulin." Irene sighed, she knew her brother very well.

Obviously she said that she already had enough money to buy a house to run an office, and she didn't need to find the Fast family.

Ms. Elsa is okay, but a person like Diego is not a detective at all. Before she became a Extraordinary, she knew that Diego was a useless guy. Uncle Comancha was in Dilud There was originally another store in the city, but because of Diego's relationship, the store collapsed.

The cloakroom of the Fast family was also asked for money repeatedly, and it almost collapsed.

If it weren't for Elsa, the cloakroom would be gone.

Rather than looking for "cooperation", it is better to say that it is sending money to the Fast family.

She had a problem with Paulin when she was going to use the money she got from the thorn tree to find Diego to "cooperate" in the first place.

Although it is said that the two of them lived in Fast's house for a few months, it was only a few months, and even if it was a return, it shouldn't be like this.

Even because of Uncle Comancha's death, Diego has changed and is no longer as bad as before, but she still doesn't trust Diego.

But, forget it, she has nothing to say.

That's always been the case with Paulin.

She sat behind another table and changed the subject:

"There seemed to be a burglary around here last night, right?"

She was not at home or in the office last night. She learned about this from a small vendor on the street.

"Yes, that's right."

Paulin, who was successfully transferred from the subject, shrugged his shoulders, forked a piece of bread and put it in his mouth. While enjoying the food contentedly, he flipped through the newspaper on the flat lay and read it in a very relaxed mood:

His eyes swept across the "Greenton Evening News", and lines of text came into his eyes:

[Silent night, the strange thief reappears! ! ! ]

[The Dalton Chamber of Commerce has been stolen! ! ! Masked Phantom Thief wearing a white mask! No one heard his footsteps! ]

Phantom thief? The masked Phantom Thief with the white mask?

Paulin took a few curious glances at this article, which was written with a sense of imagery. After a paragraph that looked more like a novel than news, he flipped through the other editions without any nostalgia.

At the same time, Paulin, who was chewing his food, continued to answer Erin's question:

"And it seems to be next door. The sound made me unable to sleep, so I woke up early."

right next door?

Hearing this sentence, Eileen was taken aback:

"No one lives next door."

This area, the location of this office, has such a low price because of the fact that there have been quite brutal murders.

It appeared that the inhabitants of a whole row of houses had been killed.

Happened just a few years ago.

Hearing Irene's answer, Paulin was also taken aback.

Of course he knew about the murder, after all, the time when the murder happened was when their father was killed by rioting thugs.

However, despite the murder, other houses in this row were bought and lived in.

In other words, it was made into a rental apartment.

After becoming a Extraordinary, he spent more time in the Rose Church than usual, so he didn't know more about the situation than Irene who had been staying in the office.

The two looked at each other, then spoke in a low voice.

"Thief? Or tramp?"

"Extraordinary or...ghost?" Irene said her guess.

As the actual manager of the firm, she has almost first-hand contact with a lot of information that has been circulated recently.

Including the information about the appearance of spirit bodies in various parts of Dilud City, the information about the spontaneous inspections of the body collectors, gray pigeons, and other Extraordinary beings.

"Do you want to notify?" Irene asked a little uneasily, and touched the drawer with her right hand, where the bullet nest and revolver filled with thorn bullets were placed inside.

Who to inform, of course it is the other people in the Thorn Tree, of course Paulin understands.

And the answer is yes.

...

"Nearby, there should be a spirit body appearing."

Hearing Hugein's voice, Yago didn't respond.

After all, he is too familiar with this land.

Black Butterfly Office.

Of course, he has not let go of the Lantern Brotherhood and the "Legend Reappearance" ceremony, but other churches can do more than him at this stage.

Moreover, sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood, and he is not paddling. He needs to make his mysterious fit as soon as possible to increase his combat power, so that he can be more confident when facing the master messenger of that ceremony.

Rumors about the corpse collector "Crow" have spread, but it is also necessary to make people's cognitive objects correspond to him.

Therefore, he needs to do something under the observation of others, so that people can identify him as the corpse collector "Crow".

However, some coincidence

He didn't expect that when he was looking for a spirit body everywhere, he would find it next to the Black Butterfly Office.
