So, when Jiang Chenchuan woke up smelling the burnt smell, he saw a still smoking iron box.
Lena stood aside sheepishly and helped Lockran put out the fire.
While he was still congratulating himself that it was filled with relics, he opened it and found that only the Heart of the Woye River and a pile of burnt residue were left.
Want to cry but no tears.
"Did I... get into trouble?"
Rena leaned over and said softly.
"That's not true. Logically speaking, you didn't even touch it, so you shouldn't be burned..."
As he spoke, Jiang Chenchuan looked at the ring. Ever since he returned from a trip to the world of consciousness, he always felt that his connection with this world had deepened. Whether it was his control over the awakening power or his perception of the relics, it had become stronger. .
This time, it is almost 100% certain that the ring held in Reina's hand is also a relic.
"You didn't want to hand it over to the museum, so what do you do now?"
Lockran brought the soup and asked casually.
"have no idea."
Jiang Chenchuan shook his head.
Although he said this, he immediately thought of the mysterious watch repairman who repaired the pocket watch last time. He seemed to know something about the relics, and maybe he could learn something from there.
Looking at Reina who looked guilty and Jiang Chenchuan who was thoughtful, Locken pointed to the lunch prepared on the table and said:
"How about we have a meal first?"
There is nothing that cannot be solved by eating. If there is, then... eat two meals.
As soon as he sat down at the table, Jiang Chenchuan saw the "Black Hat Morning News". Ever since Reina told him about the Black Hat Hotel last time, he had a different understanding of this daily must-read morning paper. view.
This morning newspaper is different from other newspapers. A large part of the page prints some transaction information in the market, including some uncommon alchemy raw materials or potions, which can be found in it.
At first, he was wondering why the morning newspapers here did not publish news. Later he found out that people who subscribed to the "Black Hat Morning News" had ulterior motives. Normally, people subscribed to newspapers such as the "Queen's Morning News" or "Polnia Daily News". type of newspapers.
Like today, the "Black Hat Morning News" wrote about the interruption of the supply of alchemical raw materials in Goat Town, but specifically avoided the source of this information.
After reading through it and confirming that there was no special information, I put down the newspaper and started eating.
Needless to say, I haven’t eaten food cooked by Lochran for a long time, and I really miss the taste of his cooking. I thought I would have the opportunity to write him some recipes, which would probably make him happy for a long time.
Reina was a little absent-minded as she stirred the soup with a spoon. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Chenchuan several times, feeling like she was hesitant to speak.
"Is something wrong?"
Reina's state was keenly captured by Jiang Chenchuan.
"It's not a big deal..." Reina was a little embarrassed. She straightened the blond hair around her ears and said in a low voice, "...It's just that I always feel like someone is following me recently."
"track!?"
Locklan was no longer sleepy after hearing this. He slammed the table and said loudly.
"Have you seen anyone, or any clues?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked calmly.
Reina shook her head:
"No, it's just a feeling, and last night... When I was preparing to go back to the hotel in the evening, I took a detour for convenience. Halfway through, I found an elongated shadow gradually extending toward me from behind. But when I turned around, I saw nothing, and even the shadow disappeared."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Chenchuan had some ideas. He patted Lochlan on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Investigation commission, Miss Reina, doesn't there happen to be an unemployed detective here?"
"Mr. Lockran?"
Lena looked at Locklan.
Speaking of which, this is a good choice that kills two birds with one stone.
"What about you? Ivel."
"Me? I still have things to do. I'll be leaving soon. I'm on my way and can take you back to the hotel."
Jiang Chenchuan felt a little heartbroken when he thought that his vacation was gone.
Although it was not Jiang Chenchuan who took over the commission, he was still somewhat concerned about it and gave a few words to Lochlan seriously. Lochran also decided to move to Brad Street between the time he took over the commission and the end of the investigation.
After all, the client’s life safety comes first.
Before going to the watch repairman, Jiang Chenchuan sent Reina back to the hotel. Many staff members who came in and out greeted Reina. It was obvious that she was very popular in the hotel.
Along the way, I could hear citizens paying more or less attention to the Dawn Church, but as long as a few more versions were circulated, it turned into ridiculous rumors. The Central Church has not yet come forward to issue a statement, so we can only wait. with the official results.
Riding on the familiar steam tram, the wind roared past his ears. In fact, he had not slept for a few hours since yesterday. As soon as he sat down, he felt vaguely sleepy, and he didn't have much intention to read the newspaper.
About two stops later, the tram stopped, and a colorful person came out of the platform. Bright colors like this looked extremely bright in the entire gray-toned Polnia.
Therefore, Jiang Chenchuan couldn't help but take a second look. It was a man with clown makeup, wearing colorful clothes, with red and yellow paint on his face. The corners of his mouth were raised high, and he wore a hat on his nose. The little red ball looks very funny.
He sat down opposite Jiang Chenchuan and put his leather suitcase at his feet with a slight clang, which attracted Jiang Chenchuan's attention.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There was an inconspicuous knocking sound coming from the suitcase. Mixed with the roar of the steam tram, almost no one could notice anything unusual about the suitcase.
He raised his head and looked at the man. The clown just lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something, and did not notice Jiang Chenchuan's probing eyes.
"Boom!"
The box seemed to contain a living creature and was making strange noises.
Jiang Chenchuan was thinking about how to approach him to check, but with so many people in the car, it was easy to cause a disturbance. The impression left on him by the Public Security Department in Polnia was not very friendly, and he expressed that he did not want to be invited to drink tea. .
And, as it happens,...
The bus has arrived.
A large group of people suddenly came up, and it took a lot of effort for Jiang Chenchuan to get out of the car.
Standing on the platform, I saw the colorful clown standing out in the crowd, but I couldn't see any happy expression. With the whistle of the tram, it drove a bus of passengers into the distance and got into the light mist. middle.
Still on the familiar street corner, Jiang Chenchuan easily found the small watch repair shop, but what surprised him was...
He saw a familiar figure dancing and saying something.
"Ethan? Why are you everywhere?"
