Jenkins narrowed his eyes looking outside. From Hathaway's perspective, even the light from the copper gas lamp on the corridor wall could not clearly illuminate the other half of the man's face.
Her heart beat a little faster, Hathaway said a dirty word to herself in her heart, and then asked with some worry:
"What are you going to do? These things are handled by the police, we don't need to be in danger."
"The cops can't fix it... that's the giver."
Even without looking back, he could guess the surprise on Hathaway's face.
"Blesser?"
The girl's voice was a bit loud, she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked left and right, but no one saw her, so she lowered her voice and asked in a low voice:
"Are you sure you are the bestower? If so, the problem is serious."
Jenkins looked at Mr. Benz outside and already had an idea in his mind.
"If someone asks after a while, can you prove to me that I have been with you since this afternoon?"
"That's no problem, wait Jenkins, what are you going to do?"
She put her hand on Jenkins' shoulder, and Jenkins shook his head slightly: "That woman almost killed me, of course I want revenge, don't worry, I won't go in person. Don't forget, I still have some' friend'."
"But… "
"Didn't I help Miss Michel by doing this? I don't think you want someone to try to murder her all the time."
"But I don't want you to be in danger either."
This sentence blurted out. After speaking, Hathaway covered her mouth again. But Jenkins didn't respond. He didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence, and only regarded it as a friend's concern.
"Damn it!"
The red-haired lady cursed under her breath, and pinned Jenkins by the shoulder to turn him around, and their eyes met.
"Promise me, be careful, those friends of yours are not kind people."
Mr. Writer, who was still ruthless, immediately blushed. He was not used to meeting the eyes of a beautiful girl at such a close distance.
"It's the same Jenkins."
Seeing his appearance, the woman smiled softly. During the few seconds when Jenkins was in a daze, she stepped forward two more steps, stood on tiptoe to test what she wanted to do, and finally kissed his side face.
"No other meaning, just a blessing, understand?"
Jenkins was stunned for a moment, and his mind was pulled back from the matter of revenge.
He opened his mouth, but was interrupted immediately.
"I hope you don't say inappropriate things at this moment."
The lady squinted her eyes and stepped back with her hands behind her back. The high heels knocked on the floor with a crisp sound: "Jenkins, be careful."
Jenkins stood there, watching Hathaway disappear around the corner, and then raised his hand to touch his side face. The soft feeling just now was not obvious, it was better than the feeling of being swept by the tail hair of chocolate: "Why? Let her kiss, is this the second time?"
Thinking of the scene just now and the ambiguous atmosphere in the air, Jenkins blinked: "Could it be that she likes me?"
It is rare that this person has no wild guesses.
He thought of Miss Michel again, and remembered the complicated feelings between the two girls, so he shook his head and temporarily suppressed the speculation in his heart. There are more important things now, and no matter how you look at it, Hathaway is Miss Michael's lover.
Picking up the chocolate that he had been watching for a long time, Jenkins walked along the corridor, and people kept saying hello to him. The scene where he commanded the crowd to find the police doctor and treat the injured with a calm expression just now left a very deep impression on people. impression.
Mr. Benz was waiting for Jenkins at the iron fence of the management center. He was a member of Captain Bincy's team, and he was familiar with Jenkins.
This time, I did not know that the case was related to the Giver, and there is no evidence to prove this. It's just that the church heard that Jenkins was involved in this matter, so they specially sent someone to meet him to prevent some unpleasant things from happening.
"It's good that you're fine, the captain asked me to arrive as quickly as possible!"
This is a man with a more cheerful personality, at least he is more cheerful than Captain Bincy, who has a serious expression all day long.
"Sir, this uniform of yours..."
"Oh, this one."
Mr. Benz rubbed the police rank on his shoulder with his fingers, and then pointed to the black leather boots that were stepping on the weeds under the rusty iron fence. After the driver drove away, waving his whip, he explained:
"This is a real police officer's uniform. The combat team has a special mission, so they all have a clear official identity, which is also convenient for action."
Jenkins nodded, which is reasonable, "So is there any clue in this case?"
"I just asked."
Compared with just now, the tone is a little more relaxed, probably because he didn't take the matter here as a big deal.
"The footprints disappeared into the bushes over there, and they should have left from the trees. If you are still concerned about this matter, then I can tell you when there is a result."
"Thank you very much, sir."
He put on the hat he was holding and looked towards the bushes.
Captured that day, Boglo Stipi from the Magic Eye Collection Association, his interrogation is still going on. But after only two days of effort, the results will come out. Judging from the current situation, he should have come to Papa's antique shop on a whim, without any special purpose.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Benz, Jenkins excused that he would go back to the city with Miss Hesha, so he politely declined his invitation, and actually returned alone.
The neighborhood where Miss Audrey lives is also on the outskirts of the city, and it's actually not far from here. When the lights came on, except for her neighbor next door, all the houses had the characteristic dim yellow light of gas lamps.
After tidying up his clothes, Jenkins shook the copper bell with ribbons on the fence a few times, and the maid soon appeared and opened the gate for him.
"Welcome, Mr. Williams will show up at this time, do you want to have dinner together?"
The woman is wearing home clothes and sitting in the living room, and there is a black book with the back open on the sofa beside her. The name of the book is: From the Norland Coast to the Golden Harbor: A Brief History of Trade.
Seeing Jenkins' eyes cast there, she smiled lightly, tapped the spine of the book with her fingers, and the written text flickered and became a brand new message:
"Impermanence of Destiny: The Thirty-second Vientiane Impermanence Card"
He bent over and sat down with a serious face:
"There's no need for dinner, Miss Audrey, it's a shame to come to visit so late. I want to ask you for help, yes, help."
PS: Without the plot of real chaos in your circle, the progress of the relationship line will temporarily stagnate. I want to solve the main plot of this volume. The outbreak of the plot contradiction point (the moment of pretending to be B) will occur at the end of this month in the story time, that is, before the change of the month of the sage and the traveler. Before that, there are still about three small plots to be carried out.
Of course, the repair of the pocket watch was deliberately pushed back. Do you remember the foreshadowing of the last time you repaired the pocket watch
Another: This volume also has some content, how do you feel now? Is it okay? Any comments
