Chapter 74 Auctioneer

"At least three months!" Andy calculated the time silently in his heart and gave what he thought was the fastest deadline.

Qin Weijie frowned slightly. He was still thinking about getting his magic gun before school started. Now it seems that the plan has changed, but this matter is really the same as Andy said. There is no rush. Qin Weijie had no choice but to agree.

It was almost half past eleven when Andy and I finished discussing the production of magic guns. The doorbell rang when they were about to go out to find food.

Pierce went up to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a fiery red figure rushing in and heading straight for Qin Weijie.

Pierce was startled and thought it was an enemy seeking revenge. He subconsciously blocked Qin Weijie, but was pushed away by the fiery red figure, and flew backwards and fell into the corner.

Pierce was confused at this time. I am a 1.8-meter-tall sturdy man. I was thrown away with a casual slap. What kind of monsters are these! The employment agreement I signed with the Fuli family may be my death warrant! !

"Petie? Why are you here?" Andy looked at Petie with a puzzled look.

Petie ignored him and looked at Qin Weijie: "Smelly brother, when are you leaving? Sister has been waiting for you all morning!"

"Let's leave after lunch, and take Andy with you. He is very fast and has a talent hidden in the shadows. He can be a scout." Qin Weijie said and arranged Andy clearly.

Andy was confused. I was just out for a day. What happened? When did they become so familiar?

Petie had the same idea at this time. I was just out for a day. How did Andy get involved with this guy? It looks like they are very familiar with each other! Qin Weijie is really not a good guy. He can dig away anyone I value! Damn stinky brother, I must give him a good beating after leaving school to confirm my status as the eldest brother!

Qin Weijie then told Andy that he was going to Manchester, and asked Petie and Andy to have dinner at his residence. He also called Emma and asked her to come over for lunch.

After eating the meal made by Jiuer, Qin Weijie realized how miserable he had been during this period. He was afraid that ordinary food would not be able to satisfy him in the future. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

At lunch, Qin Weijie and Petty explained their reasoning and the investigation in Manchester to Emma and Andy, which moved Emma to tears. She joined the team without hesitation and planned to go to Manchester together.

…

At 2:45 pm, a small town called Warrington between Manchester and Liverpool.

At this time, an elderly lady in the police station of the town was anxiously waiting for the police to receive her.

Warrington is not a big town. Because it is close to the Mersey River, there are often merchants coming and going, and the residents are mobile. In addition, the current war situation has caused people to move in and out of the town from time to time. Sometimes you may meet a stranger by chance during the day, and you may find that he is your new neighbor when you go home at night.

The elderly lady who was anxiously waiting at the police station was called Mrs. Kurus. Her neighbor was an auctioneer who had just moved in. Mrs. Kurus remembered that the auctioneer's family moved in on a rainy day in June. They seemed very hasty when they came, and Mrs. Kurus always felt that this family was a little strange. They always looked trembling, rarely communicated with nearby residents, and did not even go out except to buy necessities.

Since this morning, there has been an inexplicable odor coming from the house next door. Pedestrians passing by the door can smell this indescribable odor, but it is this smell that makes her feel upset.

She is very familiar with this smell. Mrs. Kurus's late husband used to work in a funeral home and was responsible for cremating corpses. This odor can often be smelled in the funeral home. It is the smell of decaying corpses.

After several hours of entanglement, Mrs. Kurus finally made up her mind to go to the police station a mile away to report the case, but she waited for a long time at the police station but no police officer was willing to receive her.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Kurus returned home helplessly. The police officer did not come back with her. He just told her perfunctorily that he would send a police officer to check the situation later, and then sent him away.

Mrs. Kurus cursed all the way. She was very angry about the inaction of the police officer, but what could she do as an old woman?

However, as soon as she saw the front door of her house, Mrs. Kurus saw several people standing in front of the door next to her house.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Kurus asked.

A man with a hideous scar on his face stood up and said, "Hello, madam, we are staff members of the 13th Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau. This is my ID. I want to ask you about the owner of this house."

Mrs. Kurus was illiterate, but she took the ID and looked at it in a fake manner when she saw the other party took out the ID.

Elderly people are most afraid of being cheated by people with ulterior motives. Although Mrs. Kurus believes that she is an old woman and there is nothing worth cheating except this house, she still pretends to be very knowledgeable out of caution.

Mrs. Kurus was relieved after returning the documents and told the other party what she knew.

"...Yes, it's an auctioneer who moved in about the beginning of last month. I remember it was a rainy day..."

"Yeah, this family is very strange. They seem to be afraid of something. They always look trembling..."

"I went to bed very early last night. Before I went to bed, I heard the little son of the house next door crying and breaking something. I vaguely heard the hostess scolding the little son..."

"...That's the smell of a corpse. I'm sure. My husband used to work in a funeral home...It's just a little strange. It usually takes at least two days for the smell of a corpse to spread. Even in summer, the smell of a corpse won't spread overnight...Mr. Pierce, are you sure that their family has already?"

Pierce carefully recorded it in the notebook, and then explained: "Because the colleagues from the trace department have not arrived yet, we did not go in. In case a murder happened inside, rashly entering would destroy the scene."

"Oh, Mr. Pierce, you are really professional!" Mrs. Kurus looked at the people behind Pierce.

Then Mrs. Kurus was a little confused. Why would she bring a few teenagers with her when she came out to investigate the case? Especially the two boys and girls with oriental faces, they looked less than fifteen years old.

Pierce saw Mrs. Kurus's confusion and explained, "These children are tourists from out of town. When they passed by this house, they also smelled the stench of the corpse and contacted us in time."
