Agnes took the last sip of her sweet iced tea, thanked Mrs. Wellington, and left the restaurant.
She hesitated at the door, and finally decided to follow him relying on her connection with Xiao Milo.
The abnormality of little Milo is obvious. Whether it is out of her status as a serious church member or out of concern for the mental health of minors, it is difficult for Agnes to turn a blind eye to little Milo's situation; moreover, according to In the previous situation between Meera and Stitch, at the moment when they resonated, the other party probably felt the connection between herself and him, regardless of whether she went to find him or not.
But to be honest, these are just excuses. Agnes smiled slightly. She walked casually along the street, slightly pressing her hat when the cold wind blew. She looked no different from ordinary pedestrians.
The most fundamental reason is that Agnes herself became interested in little Milo's situation.
The map of Bodivia that she had memorized before came to Agnes's mind, and she judged the direction of Milo's movement.
Little Milo walked along Sabos Avenue for a short distance, and then turned into a small alley. His movement speed is not very fast, probably due to his physical condition.
Little Milo probably realized that he was spying on her. When Agnes followed the contact and walked towards Little Milo's location, he paused for a while, and then turned to a smaller road.
Agnes showed an interesting smile and sped up, rushing towards where little Milo was.
...
Little Milo actually didn't go far, and it didn't take Agnes long to reach where he was.
He stood in a deserted narrow alley, leaning against the wall looking a little weak, looking at the opposite side with a somewhat distracted look.
Agnes paused at the entrance of the alley and stepped forward.
"The walls should be a little cold this season. I think if you are not in good health, you should try to reduce the number of times you lean on them." Agnes said.
Little Milo turned his head and glanced at Agnes, stood up straight, nodded in agreement, and said, "I think you are right, madam."
Agnes took off her hat, showed a friendly smile to little Milo, and asked: "I am Ella Boethia, what do I call you, little gentleman?"
"Milo Madeleine, you can also call me 'Little Milo' like Mrs. Wellington and the others, Ms. Boethia." Little Milo showed an innocent-looking smile and looked at Agnes and said.
"Well, hello, little Milo." Agnes approached little Milo, squatted down, gently put her left hand on little Milo's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Hello, Ms. Boethia."
Little Milo nodded and looked at Agnes's face with his clear-looking eyes.
"I seem to have a natural affection for you, which makes me want to get close to you and tell you everything about me; but my inspiration tells me that you have a very terrifying quality, and contacting you rashly will bring about negative consequences for me. You are in danger, what I should do now is to do my best to escape from you."
"What do you think I should do?" Milo asked Agnes with an innocent smile on his lips.
Agnes tilted her head, raised her eyebrows and looked at Milo: "You have already made your choice, haven't you?"
"Yes, I think I have chosen to believe you, Ms. Boethia, and I want to believe you."
Agnes showed a smile and asked: "Your inspiration seems to be very high?"
Xiao Milo hesitated for a while and then said: "I am half a 'Secret Prayer'."
"Is your father or your mother a mid-sequence member of the 'Secret Man' path?" Agnes was not surprised, she just asked calmly.
"Yes, my father is a 'hermit'." Little Milo answered clearly. He withdrew his eyes from Agnes's face and looked at Agnes's hand on his shoulders. Left hand.
"But he and his mother died two years ago while rebuilding the breakwater." Little Milo showed an innocent-looking smile and looked at Agnes and said.
"I'm sorry." Agnes said after a moment of silence.
"No, I'm very happy." Little Milo shook his head and said with a pure smile: "I feel that without them, Daniel and I have a very happy life."
"Your brother..." Agnes hesitated and wanted to ask.
Little Milo interrupted Agnes and said with some mystery: "I know where Daniel is."
Agnes raised her eyebrows and wanted to ask.
Little Milo made a quiet gesture and said to Agnes: "I can't tell you now. I will go to Mrs. Morris's house for dinner later. This is Daniel's arrangement. Good children should listen to the arrangements of adults."
"If Ms. Boethia is willing to come to me at night, I think I will tell you. You can find me anyway, right?" Little Milo said seriously.
"Okay." Agnes nodded with a smile, stood up, and asked, "Is Mrs. Morris's house far from here? Do you need me to take you there?"
Little Milo shook his head, looked at the houses outside the alley, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Boethia, but Mrs. Morris's house is just outside."
Agnes nodded and followed Milo's gaze to the houses outside.
"Okay, I will come to you." Agnes lowered her head and looked at little Milo and said.
"Then I look forward to your arrival in the evening." Xiao Milo showed an innocent smile, turned and walked out of the alley, and walked into the previous house.
Agnes watched little Milo leave and left the alley herself.
...
"Did that guy say who the woman who went to Antoine's house with him today was?"
A slightly gloomy voice asked in the room covered with red plush carpet.
"That guy Snow has always insisted that he didn't know the identity of the woman. He said that it was just the woman who came to him, said that she had business to discuss with Antoine, and threatened him that he took the woman to Antoine. Went to the place where everyone wanted to go.”
A hoarse-sounding voice whispered.
"Does that guy Snow think we are fools? Does he think we haven't found out their whereabouts?" the gloomy voice said viciously.
"He was obviously very excited when he took the woman to where Antoine was hiding. When he left Art Street with the trolley, he showed no resistance all the way. There were traces of him on the floor of the storage room and living room. , Doesn’t it matter?”
"It was obvious that he must have made some agreement with the woman. He took the woman to the place where Antoine was hiding, and then helped the woman kill Antoine, and then the two of them took away Antoine's body in a cart."
"Obviously two people conspired to do it. He thought we couldn't guess it?"
