Chapter 48 The Secret in the Boudoir
"Miss Audrey has been very anxious recently, for sure. At a party with friends, she failed to hide her emotions well. She seemed to be troubled by something. Her preference for color may be more heavy... This word is not very good."
Sharing the information he just obtained, Donald opened the bedside table, where objects such as necklaces, bracelets, etc. were placed. Most of them were colorful, symbolizing sexy and hot red gem necklaces, and purple crystal bracelets representing charm. They are still this type of item in the cabinet on the second floor, but compared to the first floor, the ones here are packed in boxes.
"What else can a girl from a wealthy family be confused except for a handsome gentleman? Two weeks ago, a new teacher came to the town. She is three years older than Miss Audrey and is a top student. She is said to have come to the town to exercise and will return to Puston to coach in a year."
The profession of teacher will be respected no matter where you are. Not only is it paid high, it has a high status, but it has received a higher education and respects his wife, which is a good candidate for her husband.
"But our Miss Audrey doesn't look so cute. She just put a photo in her room or a family photo."
Picking up a photo frame from the bedside table on the other side, inside is a photo of the Barthley family, which is a bit inconsistent, mainly because the contrast between the father and daughter and mother is too strong.
Donald finally understood why Goron had to mention that he was not very good when talking about Audrey's kind-heartedness. This is...it's really not very good!
Small eyes, thick lips, and a collapsed nose...
"Mrs. Barthley is stepmother?"
Otherwise, how could he not inherit the bloodline at all?
"This has nothing to do with kidnapping. Our topic seems to be a bit off. Speaking of which, I have another message here. A while before my disappearance, Miss Audrey once entrusted her friends to buy some items in the town one after another, most of which were medicinal materials and plants. There are mountains and forests on the Raffindo Farm, which is easy to get."
Sherlock pulled out drawers, and there was nothing special in it.
"Maybe it is for the purpose of recuperation of the body, or beauty, and the congenital conditions are insufficient, and acquired efforts may also make up for some of the defects."
It was too troublesome to make such a problem. At the same time, Donald began to mobilize his mental power and activate his spiritual vision.
According to the maid, few people came in this room after Audrey disappeared, and the trace powder could see the traces left in recent days. I quietly twisted some between my fingers and scattered them on the edge of the bed. As I imagined, in addition to the footprints he just left, there were indeed other lighter marks.
Starting from the edge of the bed, the footprints extend to the large wardrobe opposite the bed. Is this a trace of clothes in the morning... Since I started, Donald simply sprinkled a circle in the house and opened his spiritual vision again.
Because the quantity is relatively small, many footprints are incomplete, but this does not affect the general direction of the footprints.
Recently, there have been a lot of traces pointing to the wardrobe. Donald leaned over, closed his spiritual vision, opened the cabinet door first, and the inside was full of clothes, most of which were simple clothes, but not entirely so. There are several sets of clothes similar to dresses on the inside, with thin fabrics and cutting them to show off your figure.
Donald soon noticed that there were two rows of drawers on the lower floor of the cabinet, and the long cabinet above placed clothes, and underneath should be underwear, waist trousers and other things.
Although this was a bit offensive, he still stretched out the "gentleman's hand" without hesitation.
Soon, Donald discovered an abnormality in the third drawer, which contained a bunch of women's underwear. When he pulled the drawer as much as possible and tried to see if there was a foreign object, he pressed a hard object.
A brown wooden box the size of a palm with a metallic gray pattern outlined a creature with two fangs.
"Open and take a look."
Sherlock took the box from Donald and opened it directly.
There is a folded yellow photo inside, and there is nothing else.
Rumble!
The white lightning blew brightly in the clouds. After the thunder, the sound of rain slapping against the glass came from outside the window. The rain was very heavy. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be a thunderstorm.
Fortunately, the windows in Audrey's house were closed, and the wind and rain outside could not affect the inside. The light on the chandelier had already made the room very bright.
Scream~
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, Fran Shazo stood at the door, and Donald and Sherlock were in the middle of the room, looking at the chandelier above their heads."
"Two gentlemen, what important clues have you found?"
The maid's eyes wandered on the two of them. As Mrs. Barlett's personal maid, she expressed concern and concern about the situation of the master, and there was no problem.
"I've just got a little bit of gain. I'll be here today. I have to work with my assistant to sort out the collected information and continue searching tomorrow."
Sherlock held the wooden box with his hands behind him, quietly stuffed it into the cuffs, and then pretended to be casually inserted into his pocket. Fortunately, he wore a windbreaker to facilitate his movements in the countryside. If the cuffs of the formal wear could not hide a box.
"If you need any help, please tell me, the master and the wife are looking forward to the progress of both of you."
"Of course, Donald, let's go, don't you want to learn guns? While it's still early to go to bed, I'll take you to find a place to practice guns and discuss the situation by the way."
Sherlock responded, winked at Donald, and the two walked around the maid.
When he reached the corner of the stairs, Donald, who was walking behind, narrowed his eyes, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the maid who was walking into Audrey's room and was about to close the door. He just glanced at it quickly and stopped looking.
I found the butler and learned from him that there was a special shooting range on the Raffindo Farm, so I took them there in person.
"Mr. Butler, you go back first. We will practice for a while before going back to the main house. If possible, please help me make the quilt thicker. The thunderstorm cools down very much."
At the door of the shed, I found a butler by the head to escape. The two of them crossed the stone arch and entered the shooting range.
It is called a shooting range, but in fact it is just an abandoned shed with a road from the main house and is relatively empty. There are entrances and exits around it, and there is not even a door, just a stone arch left on the wall.
It is divided into two areas, with nearly ten tables placed on one side, bullets and eggshells scattered on the drawers and the ground, and a large number of iron discs placed on the other side, with distance lines drawn on the ground.
"Let's see what exactly is Miss Audrey hiding so deep."
