Chapter 46 Package
Qin Weijie and Emma spent the whole afternoon discussing and chatting.
Qin Weijie told about his adventures in the past few years, and Emma also told about her experience of learning the mysterious method from the two masters Bu Wen Bu Wen, as well as her correspondence with Carliss in the past two years. The two talked happily and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Because she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, Emma didn't reveal the disappearance of her father, and Qin Weijie vaguely guessed that something had happened to Mr. Stock, but Qin Weijie thought too pessimistically that Mr. Stock had passed away, so he never talked about Mr. Stock.
Until six o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Stock came home from get off work. She was not surprised to see Qin Weijie and Emma chatting in the living room. She nodded and turned around and walked into the master bedroom with the door closed.
"Hey, it's already past six o'clock. I have a friend waiting for me, so I won't bother you. I have to find a place to stay later. I'll come to play with you tomorrow. I plan to stay here for a few days and talk to Andy about something." Qin Weijie smiled and stood up to say goodbye.
As for finding Andy, of course it was to forge weapons. Although he had five bricks in his hand with good attack power, he always felt a little uncomfortable hitting the bricks, which was not as convenient as holding a sword.
He happened to meet a lone elf by chance, and took this opportunity to find Andy to ask if he could help him forge weapons... But due to the awkward relationship between the two, Qin Weijie could only convince him with reason.
Emma wanted to keep Qin Weijie, but she was still a little worried when she saw her mother's closed door, so she didn't keep him: "Well, remember to let an owl send me a letter when you find a place to live... Uh, forget it, you should call, I'll write down the home phone number for you."
Emma realized that the two of them could communicate by phone, and Qin Weijie was not like Caris and Petty who could only communicate by owl. Even if Qin Weijie found a place to live, it should be nearby. With Qin Weijie's personality, he would definitely find a Muggle hotel to live in, because during their conversation, Qin Weijie revealed more than once the trouble of backward infrastructure in the magic world.
"Hehe, don't bother so much, you know Xuanfa, I remember there is a basic talisman in the talisman, 'Transmission Note', we can use the transmission note to communicate!" Qin Weijie said, and pointed at Emma casually, planting the Xuanqi mark, so that the two of them could use the transmission note to communicate later.
Qin Weijie had just gotten up and hadn't left the door when he heard the doorbell ringing 'Ding Dong Ding Dong' from outside the door.
Qin Weijie and Emma looked at each other, and Emma walked forward to open the door.
Because her mother had already returned, Emma did not ask any more questions and opened the door directly.
With the means of Qin Weijie and Emma, the two did not worry about encountering danger. Even if there were scoundrels who wanted to make trouble, the two could completely deal with them.
Standing outside the door was a man with a beard wearing school security uniform, about forty years old, holding a small wooden box in his hands and a bag of dessert cakes.
"Uncle Bob, why are you here? Are you here to see my mother? She has already rested." Emma obviously knew this man and chatted with him very familiarly.
Bob shook his head: "Don't bother Mrs. Stocker. I'm here to see you. Here is your mail, which was sent from Manchester County. It has been sent for at least two months. It should be delayed by the impact of the European war, so it was delivered today."
"Manchester County? Who sent it!?" Emma was obviously a little anxious: "Is it my father?"
"No, it was sent by your father's good friend, Lawyer Philip." Bob shook his head, handed the package to Emma, and then handed the bag of cakes in his hand to Emma and said: "I still have to go on patrol, so I won't bother you... Persuade your mother, although we all guess... but still have hope for life! Hey... You probably didn't eat anything at night, so I brought you some cakes. My little daughter loves it the most, and it tastes good."
After speaking, Bob turned and left.
Emma stared at the cake in her hand blankly, and a trace of warmth flowed through her heart inexplicably. Since the incident at home, the uncles and aunts in the school have taken good care of them.
Because they knew that her mother was not in good condition recently and rarely cooked, every night her uncles and aunts would bring her food in different ways.
Emma didn't say much, just thanked Bob from behind, and then walked in with the package.
Qin Weijie wanted to leave at this moment, but he was really curious about what happened in Emma's family, so he stayed for a while.
"Actually, I have always wanted to ask, what happened to Mr. Stock?" Qin Weijie said carefully.
While opening the package, Emma whispered: "My stepfather went to Manchester three months ago and then disappeared. Caris is very talented in divination. After divination, she concluded that her stepfather was not dead, but was imprisoned. She couldn't divination where exactly he was, as if someone hindered her divination..."
As she spoke, the small wooden box was also opened. A pile of wood chips and miscellaneous wires were placed in the wooden box for protection. In the wood chips was a white jade porcelain bottle. The white jade was crystal clear like sheep fat, and the bottle body was flawless and looked very beautiful.
"White jade bottle? It looks like an antique. Its shape is a bit like the white jade bottle in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Chinese legend." Qin Weijie said.
Emma's hands trembled as she looked at the white jade bottle, and her eyes became moist: "Because I am obsessed with the study of Chinese cultural relics, my father often buys some antiques from China for me... Three months ago, my father heard that there was a charity auction of Chinese antiques in Manchester County, so he went to Manchester County to attend the auction, and the result was..."
"Hey, there is another letter in it!" Qin Weijie pointed to the letter with a corner exposed at the bottom of the sawdust and reminded.
Emma took out the letter and read it without avoiding Qin Weijie. Qin Weijie glanced at the letter and read it roughly.
The letter was sent by a lawyer named Philip. Judging from the name and content, this lawyer named Philip should be a good friend of Mr. Stock and a family friend of the Stock family.
This lawyer Philip learned that Mr. Stock was missing and remembered some information before Mr. Stock disappeared, so he wrote this letter to inform.
As for the white jade bottle sent with the letter, it was the auction item of the Manchester County auction three months ago.
Gu Yu Three months ago, Mr. Stocker accidentally learned that Manchester County would hold a charity auction. The auction items were all exquisite Chinese antiques. Because his adopted daughter liked Chinese antiques, Mr. Stocker decided to go there.
The auction in Manchester County lasted a whole day. The event was divided into three auctions, held at 9 am, 2 pm and 7 pm. Mr. Stocker didn't care because there were no valuable auction items in the morning auction, but there were many precious Chinese antiques in the two auctions at 2 pm and 7 pm.
However, Mr. Stocker was far away and could not arrive in Manchester until 4 pm that day. He only had time to attend the last auction that night.
In order not to miss the auction items at noon, Mr. Stocker called his good friend, lawyer Philip, in advance and asked lawyer Feili to go to the auction at 2 pm to help him take one or two antiques for his daughter.
Lawyer Philip was invited to the auction and bought the white jade bottle at the auction in the afternoon. Later, because the law firm had a case to deal with, he left in a hurry without meeting Mr. Stocker, and the white jade bottle was temporarily kept by the indecent lawyer.
Who knew that the auction had an accident that night and was attacked by illegal elements. Five participants were kidnapped and then disappeared. Mr. Stocker was among the five participants.
After learning that Mr. Stocker had an accident, the indecent lawyer called Mrs. Stocker to express his condolences and tried to use his connections to investigate, but there was no gain, because he was really worried about Mr. Stocker's safety recently and was focused on the investigation, but forgot that there was still a white jade bottle in his hands.
When the indecent lawyer reacted, he remembered to mail the white jade bottle to Emma.
"Auction attacked?" Qin Weijie muttered in his mouth. He suddenly remembered that half a month ago, when he had not left Hogwarts, he heard Tom talk about a piece of news when he had breakfast with Tom one morning.
The Daily Prophet reported the "three schools merged" that day, but there was a news on the second page of the newspaper, reporting the follow-up of the dark wizard attack in Manchester County three months ago. After the Ministry of Magic investigated, in addition to the granary that was originally attacked, a Muggle auction was also attacked by dark wizards.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic also said very stupidly that they had grasped the clues and were preparing to arrest.
At that time, Qin Weijie and Tom could only smile bitterly at this news. It was obvious that this was telling the suspect to run away, we are coming to catch you.
At that time, the two had been discussing the stupid behavior of the Ministry of Magic, and they did not expect that this matter would be related to Emma again.
"This matter is related to wizards! I have seen reports of this incident in the Daily Prophet..."
Emma nodded: "I know, but unfortunately there are still no clues now, and I have no way."
"Hehe, it's okay! As long as Mr. Stocker is not dead, he will definitely be found, believe me! I will help you, hehe... I'm leaving first. By the way, you are going to the beach tomorrow, right? Take me with you, I haven't had a picnic at the beach for a few days."
After making an appointment with Emma, Qin Weijie left.
Not long after, Qin Weijie and Pierce met up and learned that the principal had specially arranged a VIP reception room in the school in order to lick the local tyrants, just 500 meters east of the staff dormitory.
I have to say that the accommodation arranged by the principal is really good. It is a three-story building with four suites on each floor. Although he has not entered the suite arranged by the principal, Qin Weijie couldn't help but secretly sigh when he entered the small building. The decoration is luxurious, clean and tidy, and there is a soft cashmere carpet as soon as he enters the door.
Qin Weijie and his family were arranged to live on the third floor. Two small episodes happened when they were about to go upstairs.
The first episode was when Qin Weijie just walked up the stairs, and a blond boy came down. Qin Weijie glared at him. Hehe, it's Andy.
Andy was stunned when he saw Qin Weijie, then rolled his eyes at Qin Weijie, snorted coldly, raised his head and walked down the stairs without saying a word.
The second episode was when Qin Weijie walked up to the second floor. Just as he walked up to the second floor and was about to go to the third floor, Qin Weijie casually glanced at the corridor on the second floor, and saw a red-haired girl in the corridor locking the door.
Qin Weijie frowned slightly. Isn't this Patty? I didn't expect that she would also live in the VIP reception room.
Qin Weijie didn't care, shook his head and followed Pierce to the third floor.
Qin Weijie found out after entering the room that this was a presidential suite. He finally knew where the school's funds were spent.
The whole suite was at least five or six hundred square meters. The room was clean and tidy, and the decoration and crafts were also very exquisite.
Qin Weijie walked into the master bedroom very naturally, and sent Pierce to the second bedroom. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Pierce to prepare some dinner and supper.
Pierce muttered: "You treat me as a servant!"
"Hehe, 20 Galleons a day!"
"Okay, Master, you take a rest first, I'll go to prepare dinner and supper!"
It feels great to have money! !
