"...Tromi, thank you for your cooperation. I am very sorry about your father..."
Secretly leaving the 5-pound note in the bedroom, Angel sincerely apologized to the handywoman waiting outside the door before leaving the sparsely furnished two-bedroom apartment.
If she had time, she would have a good chat with her female worker, but now there was no more time to waste.
Leonard carried the quilt regardless of his demeanor. The three of them, despite Passerby's curious gaze, quickly returned to Iron Cross Street's section near the street square along the way they came.
The hired carriage that brought them here was still parked on the roadside. The driver was sitting in the driver's seat with an unlit low-quality cigarette in his mouth, yawning repeatedly as he waited.
Seeing his employer coming, he quickly stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, rubbed his eyes, and braced himself for departure.
"Daffodil Street, hurry up."
Leonard threw the quilt into the car, and then climbed into the car.
"Okay, no problem."
The coachman followed a few people throughout most of the Tingen City West Borough in the afternoon, and saw the three Gentlemen and Miss entering and exiting various Police Station, residential buildings, and burned-down houses. From time to time, they brought some strange items onto the carriage, and he no longer had any curiosity about their strange behavior. He called out the horse and moved forward slowly on the crowded Iron Cross Street.
"Oops, Melissa is back from school..."
Looking out the car window, Daffodil Street 2 had its lights on, Klein scratched his neck, looking a little helpless.
"Melissa, who is that?"
Leonard also put his head to the window, looked at Klein's home, and asked curiously.
"His sister goes to school at Tingen Technical School," Angel answered for Klein, "This way you can't go to his house to divine fortune, and it's even too late to go back to Zouteland Street. My house is not far next door, so go to my house."
The two men hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
In order to avoid being discovered by Melissa inside the house, the three people got out of the carriage from the other side, and each took some of the deceased's belongings to 6 Daffodil Street.
Opening the door, ignoring the thin note falling in the crack of the door, Angel turned on the large gas lamp in the living room, and the living room, illuminated golden by the dusk sunlight, felt warmer.
"Go to the study? Or the bedroom?"
She looked at Klein who followed him into the house and asked.
"Well... the study is fine."
Klein looked around, seemingly surprised that the furnishings in the living room were too simple. He came back to his senses after hearing Angel's words and answered quickly.
The three of them went to the study next to the living room and placed Val's bedding, Magnum's burned clothes and lighter, Lawrence's revolver used for suicide and other items on the floor. Seeing that Klein had already taken out his silver knife and prepared to lay out Wall of Spirituality, the two people who seemed redundant at the ceremony quickly exited the room and thoughtfully helped Seer close the door.
"Tsk, your home is really... the decoration is quite Feysac style."
Sitting on the sofa with its back to the bay window, Leonard was half-lying on the backrest like "Nightmare" Dunn Smith who broke into the room last time, crossed his legs, looked around the furnishings in the living room, and sighed.
That's the sofa I'm sitting on...
Angel opened his mouth, but still didn't have the nerve to ask him to give up his seat, so he could only sit on the double sofa opposite the coffee table.
"... It means that the decoration style is simple, minimalist, less is more... that's pretty much what it means."
Seeing that the other party didn't answer the question, Leonard added the introduction angrily.
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing his divination?"
Angel saw that he had no scruples, shouted loudly, and asked curiously.
"What does it matter? Wall of Spirituality can isolate most sounds and interference. Can you hear Klein praying inside?"
Leonard said, suddenly changed from sitting on the sofa to leaning forward, lowered his voice and asked, "Speaking of Klein, what do you think of that guy?"
How is it? Are you referring to his secrets?
"Didn't you agree that you won't spy on each other's secrets?"
Angel was confused and didn't know why Leonard asked him what he thought of Klein at this time.
"Ah?" Leonard seemed even more surprised than she was. He rolled his eyes for a moment before reacting, "No, I'm not referring to that aspect, I'm talking about your personal opinion of him. Miss Rozanne told me yesterday that the two of you have been..."
There was a meaningless smile on his face, and his tone became lower and lower, as if he had forgotten that he had just said that Wall of Spirituality would block outside sounds.
"Bang——"
The door to the study room was opened, and Klein, holding a silver knife, slowly walked out of the room. His eyes were deep, and the Spirituality after meditation had not yet been completely controlled. Behind him was the Wall of Spirituality that had just been released, and there seemed to be a breeze blowing inside.
"I found the location of the altar... what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the two people looking at him like thieves, Klein had just completed the divination, and the mysterious aura around him that had not faded was stagnated.
"In order to accurately divine the location of the altar, I used Dream Divination and saw the scene around the altar." Sitting on the single sofa given by Leonard, Klein said slowly, "It was a gray-blue two-story detached building. All the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn. It was surrounded by a dilapidated and dark garden. The soil was dark brown and there was no grass growing, just like the kind often seen in ghost stories."
"The perspective in the dream is very close and I can't see the surrounding buildings. I can tell it's about the time now, but I can't determine the specific location... There is a river behind the house, a very wide river, either Khoy River or Tussock River. Other rivers in Tingen City don't have such a wide water surface."
Khoy River said by Klein spreads from York Mountain in the north to the southwest, flows through University District of Tingen East Borough, and merges into the Tussock River locally.
Tussock River originates from the Mirminsk Mountain Range, flows all the way to the southeast, passes through the docks in the southwest and southern suburbs of Tingen City, and finally enters the sea at Pritz Harbor southeast of Backlund.
"So, what we are looking for is a two-story house next to the Tussock River or Khoy River." Leonard frowned and concluded, "There are hundreds of houses like this in Tingen City. We can only search all the way along the river. The probability of finding it before dark is too low."
"And once night falls, once today drags on, the variables will be even greater." Angel directly spread out the map they marked the crime location on the coffee table, "We must determine its location now."
This is a large-scale map of the Tingen City district. It marks various streets, districts and rivers in detail, but it does not go down to the specific houses and buildings. At this time, she has drawn several red dots in West Borough, which represent murder cases that are definitely affected by extraordinary powers.
"Did you see the shadow of the building in Dream Divination? Which side is it facing?" Holding a red pencil, Angel looked at Klein.
The latter frowned, as if recalling the scene in his dream.
"I didn't see the shadow. The wall of the building facing me was bright... Yes, the shadow was on the other side, slightly to the right."
"It is dusk now, Sun is in the southwest..." Angel explained while turning the map in a direction so that the southwest side of Tingen City faced him. "Klein saw the shadow on the other side of the house, a little to the right, which means that his dream perspective was in the south-west direction of the house, and the river he saw was located in the northeast of the house."
She directly drew several parallel auxiliary lines on the map with a pencil and swept across the entire urban area in a south-west direction. The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched as she watched. She didn't know whether she felt sorry for the map or the results of their busy afternoon.
"This will eliminate East Coast of the Tussock River, and all positions of the Khoy River."
With the help of the auxiliary line, it is no longer possible for the Khoy River to enter the city from the northeast, which is almost parallel to the auxiliary line. Tussock River only has a few areas on the west coast that match the divination of Klein.
"West Borough, South District and Docklands are left..." Angel used a red pencil to circle the three areas near the west bank of the Tussock River. The combined area of these areas is still not small.
"Docklands can be ruled out," Klein pressed his finger on the southern suburbs of Tingen City. "There is not a single boat on the river. It is approaching night and it is dangerous for boats to travel. The nearby boats will return to the dock for the night. If it is Docklands, I will see them."
"Then there are only two areas left. Let's go there separately, as soon as possible..."
"No need, maybe we can exclude one of the areas."
Leonard, who had been watching Angel draw directions on the map, interrupted Angel and said with a smile, "South District belongs to 'Mandated Punishers' In their jurisdiction, they also received a copy of Death List and are conducting an investigation. I got a rough understanding of it when I was at Police Headquarters. The death time in their area was concentrated before July 20, and the further forward the time, the more deaths..."
Before he finished speaking, Angel understood what he meant.
"You mean, this Beyonder first concentrated on committing crimes in South District, and then came to West Borough to select the victims here?"
"It should be said, 'Back to West Borough'."
Leonard moved the corner of his mouth upward, very satisfied with his teammates' reaction.
"For this kind of premeditated criminals who are ready to make big news, they will subconsciously choose their victims to stay away from their own residence and away from the altar to avoid being discovered prematurely."
"And when their goals are close and there are not many optional targets in other areas, they will focus on their own area."
"That is West Borough!"
Klein exclaimed, with a hint of excitement and a hint of fear in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, this Beyonder Criminal and her altar are in the area where her home is.
Angel also used a red pencil to heavily draw a circle on the southwest block of Tingen City West Borough, adjacent to the west bank of the Tussock River.
"Let's go to the scene and let Seer find the location of the altar with the naked eye!"
