Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 100 Divination!
Goethe opened the door.
Outside the door stood a middle-aged man with a worried look on his face.
The other person was dressed in ordinary clothes, long pants, short-sleeved shirts, and leather shoes. There were stains on his shoes, and his clothes had not been washed for a long time. Not only were they covered with salt stains, but they also had a strange smell. He looked a bit like a homeless person.
After seeing Goethe open the door, the other party took a step back and looked at Goethe carefully.
After a moment, he asked tentatively.
"Hello, is this the 'Folklore Research Institute'?"
"Are you Goethe Winchester?"
"I am, and you are?"
Goethe frowned and looked at the other person.
He had no impression of the other person in his original memory, but he had seen him before. It was at Green High School last night. The other person was a member of the crowd, but there was nothing special about it, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the other party's sudden appearance today surprised Goethe quite a bit.
At the same time, be secretly vigilant.
This was once a professional habit.
It is impossible for two people to step into the same puddle at the same time, and it is impossible for two people to touch the same person twice for no reason.
Even though Xusta's surprised voice was heard behind him.
"Mr. Joe Cuyne?"
As he spoke, the enthusiastic police officer came over.
"How have you been lately?"
"Don't worry, we are still tracking the disappearance of little Ke Yin'er."
"We will definitely find him!"
Xiusta's ashamed tone was filled with determination.
"Thank you, Officer Xiusta."
"I just want to talk to Mr. Winchester now."
The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly indifferently.
"Well then..."
"We'll be back in a bit."
Xiusta said as he lowered his head and hurried out.
Officer An remained silent as usual and walked out. However, when he passed by Goethe, he looked at him again and then continued walking out.
"Troublesome woman."
Goethe evaluated himself in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
This was true even though he had used the vision of the Raven Spirit to see with his own eyes the other party throwing a grenade into Old Barry's car last night.
Goethe certainly would not ignore the uncertainty of old Barry.
However, Goethe never expected to see such a scene.
To be honest, it was a little beyond his expectations.
Even though Goethe had the same idea as the other party, this made him even more unwilling to have any entanglement with the other party.
Because Goethe knew very well that women were troublesome.
And a woman like Ann?
It is trouble within trouble.
Goethe didn't like trouble.
"What can I do for you?"
Goethe asked when Joe Keinle entered the room.
Although the Folklore Research Institute is mainly for his own hobby, he also uses his professional knowledge to answer questions for some people and get some compensation - sometimes, the compensation is quite generous. At least when his adoptive father Winchester was around, the income of the Folklore Research Institute was quite considerable. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford Green High School, which is one of the best in the city.
With his memory in mind, Goethe was able to receive Joe Keinle with ease.
And what about your impression of the other person?
Goethe also had a rough guess.
The other party appeared here naturally to find his son - seeing him identify the murderer last night, plus the reports on Barry in today's newspapers and news, gave him hope.
As for why the other party appeared in Green High School?
Of course it’s because the other party’s son should be a student at Green High School.
Or a graduate.
And later, the other party's words confirmed this.
"I hope you can help me find little Kyin."
"He was a senior at Green High School. When he graduated last year, he went camping with four friends and disappeared. I called the police at the time, but a year has passed and nothing has been found."
"I tried private investigators, psychics, but nothing worked."
"The former can't find any clues."
"And the latter?"
“They are all liars.”
"But you're different!"
“You are a true master!”
"I saw what happened at Green High School last night. Not only can you talk to the dead, but you can also control the Blood Crow. You will definitely be able to help me find little Ke Yinle!"
The more the other party spoke, the more excited he became.
A pleading look appeared on his face.
Tears were sparkling in his eyes.
The other person was wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger. It was made of platinum and inlaid with a 50-point diamond. Even though it was stained with dust, it still maintained its proper luster and brightness. Moreover, upon closer observation, although the other person's clothes were stained, they were not cheap.
At least the shoes are handmade calfskin.
There is no doubt that this is a father who has made himself miserable in his attempt to find his son.
Goethe was willing to lend a helping hand to such a father.
After all, he was poor.
A fortune of $123 cannot be called wealthy.
Even if you don't have to pay rent, you still need to eat and drink.
Based on yesterday's prices, Goethe knew that 123 yuan would not last long.
"I'd like to help."
"But I cannot actively communicate with the undead. Similarly, I cannot control the Blood Crow."
Goethe emphasized.
He cannot actively communicate with the dead, naturally to prevent someone from asking him to communicate with the dead in the future.
But unable to control the 'Blood Crow'?
Of course it’s because ‘Blood Crow’ is a vengeful ghost, what does it have to do with him, Goethe Winchester?
"Thank you, thank you."
"As long as you help me find little Ke Yin'er, I will thank you with all my heart!"
Joe Kyle wiped his tears and thanked him.
At the same time, don’t forget your promise.
Goethe smiled at such a promise.
He likes such sensible people.
If the price is clearly marked, what's the difference between us and those scammers?
He is a serious 'folklorist'!
"Please tell me in detail about little Kyin."
Goethe said formally.
"good!"
Joe Keir immediately told the whole story.
Goethe listened carefully.
Generally speaking, little Ke Yiner is an ordinary high school student . Although his mother died early, his family is very wealthy. He is good at studying and sports, and he is also very handsome.
Moreover, when he was in grade eleven, he received an invitation from one of the top 100 universities, Jinqiao College, and was able to enter the university without taking an entrance exam.
It is conceivable that if little Ke Yiner had not disappeared later, he would have been an extremely perfect life template.
"Who was the man he was camping with?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"Rudy, little Kyle's good friend, and his girlfriend Aiman."
"Gate, Rudy's good friend, and his girlfriend Jenny."
"They are camping near Star City."
Joe Keir said.
"Where are they now?"
"After the incident, they called the police and informed me immediately. They are four good kids. They came to visit me before leaving Star City for college. But I could see that the disappearance of little Ke Yin'er had caused some estrangement between them."
Joe Kyle sighed.
"They're not in Star City?"
"right!"
"They were admitted to universities in different cities!"
Immediately, Goethe frowned.
The fact that the four people were not in Star City was not good news for Goethe.
Although he is good at solving cases with his "body", and is confident that if there is anything wrong with these four people, he can confirm it immediately. However, Goethe does not intend to change his original plan except for the one-week adaptation to the new identity.
He intends to complete the [Main Mission] and search for [Bloody Honor] within the best time.
This kind of running back and forth was definitely not within Goethe’s plan.
Especially four people and four cities.
Even if the view in front of you is a modern city.
Because Goethe would never take a plane.
Ever since an ace colleague from his hometown encountered a plane crash, Goethe refused all means of air transportation. He would never touch an airplane unless he truly ignored the dangers in the air.
But Goethe also did not want to give up his income.
So he took the key out of his pocket.
This is a single key that is threaded by a black braided cord.
It is the key to the door lock of the 'Folklore Research Institute'.
"Do you believe in divination?"
Goethe asked this.
"Divination?"
"I... believe it."
Joe Ke Yiner, who had been deceived by a psychic before, was about to refuse immediately, but thinking about the news he saw today, he finally chose to believe Goethe once.
[Tail in hand]!
Goethe used the key in his hand as a pendulum.
'Is little Kyle still alive?'
Reverse rotation.
Represents death.
'Is the death of little Kyle related to Rudy, Aiman, Gate, and Jenny?'
Rotate forward.
Represents affirmation.
'Is little Keuner's body near his camp?'
The key was still and did not move.
Obviously, divination is impossible.
Or rather, it is not accurate enough.
Goethe immediately changed the way he asked the question.
'Did Rudy, Aiman, Gate, and Jenny move the body?'
Rotate forward.
Goethe raised his eyebrows, because he was not asking just one person, but everyone was trying divination, and the answer was affirmative every time.
In other words, the four people should have dealt with little Ke Yinle's body before calling the police and notifying Joe Ke Yinle. Only in this way would the police search be fruitless.
Moreover, it is definitely not a place where four people are mostly together, such as home or garage.
The police will certainly search these places.
A location where the four could reach without being searched by the police?
Where would that be?
The range was a bit too large, and Goethe couldn't make an accurate guess at the moment.
After pondering for a few seconds, Goethe looked up at Joe Kyle, who was looking expectant, and shook his head regretfully.
"I'm sorry, little Ke Yin'er is most likely dead."
"With Rudy, Aiman, Gate, and Jenny."
"At least they touched the body."
"As for where is little Ke Yin'er?"
"It's probably somewhere between their camping site and their home, somewhere that won't attract attention."
Goethe said softly.
Joe Ke Yiner sat there in a daze.
His eyes turned red again.
"Can divination be wrong?"
Joe Ke Yiner asked persistently.
"meeting."
"These are just what I divined."
"And the probability of divination being wrong is very high."
Goethe was very candid.
Divination is not 100% accurate, and many factors can interfere with it.
If it were in the 'anchor point world', Goethe even doubted that the soul would not move even if it swung.
Listening to Goethe's sincere explanation, Joe Kuyle nodded.
What happened yesterday, and this morning ’s newspapers and news reports, all made him choose to believe Goethe.
"Understood."
"Thank you again for your divination."
"If it is as you said, I will fulfill my promise as promised."
Having said these words, Joe Ke Yiner took out his wallet, placed all the money in it on the table, and turned away.
Looking at the other person's back, Goethe frowned.
A familiar feeling is appearing in the other person.
"Joe, Mr. Kuyle, I have a piece of advice--"
"When something happens, stay calm."
Goethe reminded the other party.
Considering that the other party took out hundred-dollar bills.
At a rough glance, it looks like at least 2,000 yuan.
"Okay, thank you."
Joe Ke Yiner paused, then opened the door and left without paying any attention to Xusta and An at the door.
The two men returned to the room after seeing Joe Ke Yiner's back disappear at the stairs.
"Great! So profitable!"
When Xiusta saw the money on the table, his eyes lit up.
And that An put a brown paper bag on the table.
She said:
"breakfast."
Suddenly, Xiusta was stunned.
