Chapter 150 Getting Closer

Plummer excused himself to go outside to pour coffee, and Xing Ze was the only one left in the office, with the heavy notebook lying quietly on the table.

One hundred pounds for twenty minutes. Xing Ze hopes that this business will not disappoint him too much.

He opened the book and found the last rental record. In the lessee column, it was signed by Sheikh Mendez, Manel's missing brother.

This result made Xing Ze dumbfounded. He leaned back with a smile, raised his middle finger to the ceiling and said, "Fuck you, Merlin."

Although he had long suspected that the Mendez family was related to the murder in the office building, he did not expect that this clue would lead to Sheikh Mendez, a man who had been missing for five years.

This also means that this lead reaches a dead end.

Xing Ze stood up from his seat, wrote down the address of the leasing company in his notes, and then closed the book.

Perhaps the clues were not broken yet. He walked out of the office, thanked Plummer, and headed to Glastonbury.

On Wizard Avenue, Xing Ze found the Bearded Advertising Company under the name of Sheikh Mendez.

What is surprising is that even though the owner of the company has disappeared for so long, the entire company is still in perfect operation. There is even a portrait of Sheikh Mendes hanging in the front hall on the first floor of the company.

The Sheikh in that portrait was much younger than the one he saw in "The Key to the Door."

Xing Ze asked the front desk for a company introduction brochure, and then found a comfortable seat to study it.

He found the current president of the company - Billy Davis - in the introductory brochure.

The upgraded "Key to the Door" has many more functions, one of which is the ability to search for wizard information, which is somewhat similar to a police information database.

He took out a notebook, quill pen and special ink from the ring, checked the surrounding area, and then wrote the words Billy Davis on the blank pages of the notebook.

The ink is absorbed by the white paper like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea. After a while, a series of words appeared on the white paper, which were Davis-related information.

Xing Ze read it carefully but found no useful information. He raised his head, took a deep breath, tapped the page rhythmically with one finger, and looked outside in a daze.

What am I missing? Xing Ze asked himself in his heart, is the direction of the investigation wrong?

He recalled what he had just read in his mind, sorting out the information he had missed.

"Real estate company." Xing Ze muttered, "He also has a real estate company."

As if he was catching something, he withdrew his attention and focused it again on the "Key to the Door". Davis' information shows that in addition to the Bearded Advertising Company, he is also one of the directors of Blue Mountain Real Estate Group.

Xing Ze put away his notebook and brochure, stood up and hurried outside. He remembered that Blue Mountain Real Estate was also in Glastonbury. He casually stopped a Yeqi carriage and reported the address where he was going.

Ten minutes later, he arrived in front of the headquarters building of Blue Mountain Real Estate.

"Okay, let me see if I win." Xing Ze said to himself as he walked into the building.

The person who received him was a young lady. She asked Xing Ze's purpose in a friendly manner.

"I...um...I'm here to see Billy Davis."

"Do you have an appointment?" the woman asked.

Xing Ze shook his head.

"Sorry, sir. Mr. Davis only accepts visits by appointment. If you have any urgent matters, I can take you to the counseling department."

"No, no, no." Xing Ze waved his hand, "Who else can make the decision besides Mr. Davis. I need someone who can make the final decision."

The lady at the front desk looked puzzled. She calmly signaled to the guard in the lobby, but she did not escape Xing Ze's eyes.

"Sir, can you tell me what the specific matter is?"

"Okay, okay. If Mr. Davis can't see me, I'd like to see old Joe, Joe Clemens, who can also solve my problem."

"Are you a reporter?" The lady's face darkened.

When Xing Ze heard the guard walking towards him, he shook his head and said, "Of course not. Damn it, madam. Who do you think I am? I'm from the Ministry of Magic."

As he spoke, Xing Ze took out his magic maintenance office work permit from his ring.

"Madam, I am here to discuss the water supply facilities of the Ministry of Magic Building. According to records, your Blue Mountain Real Estate repaired the water supply facilities of the Ministry of Magic three years ago.

"But there are still many problems with the water supply facilities. I am here to ask for a reasonable explanation. Because I will report these problems to the director the day after tomorrow.

"By then, I'm afraid you will be facing more than just reporters. So, madam, don't waste my time anymore."

Probably because Xing Ze was frightened by his vicious aura, the lady at the front desk apologized profusely. She waved her hand secretly, probably telling the guard to move back.

"I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Davis is not here..."

If he were here, I wouldn't be here. Xing Ze thought to himself that before leaving the advertising company, he also asked the front desk there and confirmed that Davis was in a meeting.

Of course, if Mr. R hadn't restricted Joe Clemens' information, Xing Ze wouldn't have to take such a big risk to confirm.

"As for Mr. Clemens." The lady lowered her voice. "You really don't know, sir?"

"What do you know?" Xing Ze asked with a frown, appropriately intensifying his anger, "Hell, I just transferred back from the United States this year."

"Okay, okay, sir. Mr. Clemens." The lady said word by word, "Mr. Clemens passed away."

"What the hell are you talking about? I was still communicating with him in September last year."

"But...but...he passed away in November last year."

"Really?" Xing Ze pretended to be surprised, "May he rest in peace in Avalon."

The lady at the front desk also whispered, "If it's a maintenance problem, I can contact the engineering department for you."

"No, no, no." Xing Ze took a few steps back, "I need to talk to someone at the same level as Old Joe. He used to be your...uh..."

"Executive Director." The lady continued.

"Yes, Executive Director." Xing Ze nodded, "I need to talk to someone at this level. Let's do this, I'll go to Mr. Davis privately."

Before the lady at the front desk said anything, Xing Ze walked out of the building quickly. He took the small road and didn't stop until Bluebeak confirmed that there were no followers.

Jackpot! He grinned. So far, everything has been connected, from the Boiling Oil Gang to the Avery family, from the Invisible Sect to the Sabbat Cult.

Xing Ze's intuition told him that he had found the source of all these things. The truth he was looking for was in Ravenscar Village.

At the same time, the darkness was gradually approaching, and he had to slow down his pace and follow the light in the darkness.

Xing Ze took out his notebook, tore off a page, wrote down the necessary information on it and handed it to Blue Beak.

"Go, tell them that this journey is about to end."

The raven picked up the note in Xing Ze's hand and flew into the sky.
