The night view of Loen is indeed unique, but it is too cold. When it was almost eleven o'clock, the two entered an alley, and Miss Miller knocked on an inconspicuous iron door. After entering, it turned out to be a hidden bar.
Specifically, this is the bar of the Giver. Looking around, everyone has light spots on their bodies. But the highest level is still Miss Miller, and the lowest level is the bartender, he is only level 0.
I picked a table against the wall and sat down, and ordered a low-alcohol drink at the suggestion of Miss Miller.
Bars in the city hardly offer non-alcoholic beverages. Due to the extreme cold weather, before the development of the steam industry, people needed to rely on alcohol to resist the severe cold, which led to the city's tradition of alcoholism.
"This is similar to Nolan's underground black market, but the rules are looser, and vicious//events sometimes happen."
Miss Miller said in a low voice, while Jenkins looked around with great interest.
After only sitting in the bar for a short time, the two set off again. It was easy to find a free carriage, and the coachman curled up and almost fell asleep. All the way out of the city, I got off the car on the side of a small road.
After walking through the birch forest for a while, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, finally boarded a small hillside.
"Ha~"
Jenkins let out a long breath, took off his hat and shook it, and took two steps forward, looking at the city below the mountain.
The dots of light barely outline the shape of the city, lying there is the capital of one of the greatest countries in the world.
"It's spectacular, it's a pity there isn't a location like this near Nolan overlooking the city."
"There are still many interesting landscapes here. Next time, if we have time, we can take a look around during the day. Recently, there are terrible things appearing near Ruen. It is not a good choice to stay away from the city where people live in the dark."
"Scary thing?"
Jenkins turned and asked.
Miss Miller blinked at him: "Yes, a monster."
When I returned to the city, I was frightened all the way, but fortunately, I didn't encounter the so-called "scary things". Chocolate seemed to have slept in Jenkins' arms, until they returned to the residence, and then wriggled lazily on their chests, allowing Jenkins to hold it out.
After making a big circle in the city, the time was already close to midnight. Originally, according to the plan, the two of them would continue the topic from last time and discuss that complicated topic again.
But before they could say a few words, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the train of thought of the two of them.
Footsteps in the corridor stopped in front of the door of this room, followed by an anxious knock on the door.
"Please come in."
cried Miss Miller, frowning. She is usually very easygoing, but when she is doing things related to mathematics, she hates being interrupted.
Walking in was the maid who had just brought tea for the two of them and another young woman. She was in a hurry, and although she was wearing a scarf, her face was still flushed from the cold. This should be a visiting guest.
"Miss Miller."
Seeing that there was another man here, the woman was obviously taken aback, but when she saw the table full of papers and the kitten lying lazily beside her, she knew it was not what she thought.
"Sorry to bother you so late, may I ask if you saw my lady today?"
Speech is fast.
"Miss Dolores Kingsley? I'm sorry, Julia, but she didn't call today. May I ask what happened?"
If Jenkins remembered correctly, the current queen of the Kingdom of Hampawo was named Kingsley before she got married, and her father was the Duke of her own country.
"It seems that Miss Miller's friend is still a nobleman."
Thinking with some surprise.
"Sorry to bother you, I'll look elsewhere."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Miss Miller gave Jenkins a wink, and then immediately got up and chased after him.
"What's the meaning?"
It's a pity that Jenkins is the worst at guessing women's minds.
"Do you want me to stay, or follow, or something else?"
After being dazed for a few seconds, he waved at the chocolate, and the cat immediately jumped into the man's arms.
He also quickly walked out of the door and asked the maid, and sure enough, he found women standing in the snow talking in the courtyard.
Julia looked like she was about to cry, while Miss Miller comforted her softly.
"My friend is missing, sorry, that's all for tonight's seminar."
As she spoke, she blinked at Jenkins again, and this time Jenkins miraculously understood the meaning in the eyes.
"Do you need my help?"
"this… "
Miss Miller turned around and looked at Julia in embarrassment: "Although I'm a detective, it's better to have a man with me when I go out so late. My friend is good at fighting and firearms. It should be fine to act as a bodyguard for a while."
Julia wiped her tears and thanked Jenkins and Miss Miller:
"What is the name of this gentleman?"
"Hercule Poirot."
Without waiting for Jenkins to answer, Miss Miller directly gave her pseudonym.
In the mathematics seminar, the two also expressed their opinions on the current detective novels. Jenkins laughed at the current novelists, and then explained some stories under the names of Sherlock Holmes and Poirot. Unexpectedly, she actually remember.
The maid Julia finally accepted Miss Miller's help, and after a brief explanation of the situation, she led the two of them into an amazingly ordinary carriage with luxurious interior decoration.
Of course, even Jenkins could see that the disappearance of Miss Dolores Kingsley seemed a bit strange, because the maid Julia still refused to tell the two of her schedule for today.
I am worried that she eloped with someone else. This kind of plot is not just a story. Nolan has such a scandal recently. But the great writer has recently improved his emotional intelligence, and he knows that making such speculations on this occasion will only be annoying.
Thinking about it, Miss Kingsley's disappearance had only happened for about an hour, and Julia seemed a little nervous to be so nervous.
After a little inquiry, besides the accident of the three, there are some other "trustworthy people" who were sent to check where Miss Kingsley might be. The duke searched together.
And Miss Miller was able to intervene in this matter because of her status as "Nolan's well-known detective". I don't know what method she used, but she gained the trust of the maid very easily.
It can be seen that Julia is still hiding a lot of things, and she didn't want Jenkins to follow her at first, but Miss Miller's words solved everything.
