Chapter 42 New Commission
"Grant, has his work gone smoothly recently? Grant?"
On the dining table, Infinita looked at Donald, who was staring blankly at the bread in her mouth.
"Ah? Fortunately... it went smoothly."
Aroused from the state of thinking, Donald realized that there was still someone sitting next to him.
What he met during meditation last night was too impactful to him. His spiritual world was eroded by demons. This situation was too dangerous and he couldn't help but care.
Fortunately, judging from the speed of the invasion of the black territory, he still has a certain buffering time, so he would not have discovered that the demon existed in the spiritual world last night and was completely transformed tonight.
"Grant, there are some things you don't have to hide from me. There should be trust between us, and that will be good for you."
Donald Grant's changes prompted Infinita to make changes. He is no longer an ordinary person, boundaries are broken, and some topics are no longer taboos.
"Of course, I believe you have a smooth job, but I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm not in the same state, the time is almost over, I have to go to the office."
Trust you? I don’t even know what your identity is, how do I trust you...
When the person left, Infinita returned to the living room. There was a slight rustling sound in the phonograph. This was a signal to request communication, and the mechanism was turned on.
"The monitoring methods will not be restored during this period. Only when we are lifted from the alert will certain organizations or individuals start to try to use Donald Grant... We have wasted too much time and energy on him, but we have not seen enough rewards. The city of Puston is not a public parish. The Church of Justice has sent people to negotiate many times. The final notice has been issued. Three months later, we must withdraw from Puston, otherwise in addition to the aliens, we will also face the expulsion from the judges... Instead of letting him become a waste chess in our hands that consumes a lot of energy but does not work, it is better to throw it out and let others compete, use Donald Grant as bait, and let the rats in the shadow help us find the secret, at least there will be a result before we leave!"
Accompanied by the rustling sound, the new announcement was issued, and the attempts in the past six months have achieved considerable results. It also proves that they have too little information. This is the Church of Justice. Forcibly keeping Donald Grant is just a waste of time, which allows him to perform freely and achieve good results.
This time it's no longer an attempt, they have to implement it to the end.
"Donald Grant is an innocent person, and according to the teachings, we...I apply for review and confirm his status."
The new order made Infinita frown. After long observation, she knew that the target person was probably ignorant of what had happened before and there was no reason for him to take everything for the previous generation.
"Regular review is imperative, innocent? Where did you get such a naive view? His parents are all demon relatives. As you reported two days ago, his talents have begun to be revealed. You should understand very well that certain talents are hereditary. Previous experience has proved that evil must be strangled in the cradle. Donald Grant's ending is already destined, and this should be kept in mind."
Smack, the communication ends!

"Sir, what are you going to do?"
Under the dim clouds, Donald came to Swift. Three people wearing blue and gray shoulder-mounted suspenders and plaid shirts were at the door of the office.
This dress does not look like a person living in the city, but more like a farmer in a farm area outside the city.
"Are you a businessman? We..."
"Hey, Goron, pay attention to your comments, what the boss has told you."
The meaning expressed by the dialogue between the two should be a commission, not a debt collection person at home, so there is no need to hide his identity.
"I am Sherlock Swift's assistant, Donald Grant. It's 7:50 now, and the office will open the door soon. Can I listen to the requests of several of you first? It will be much easier when the commissioning discussion is underway."
Donald doesn't have the key to Swift's office, so he has to wait for Sherlock to open the door. If the latter gets up early, he will put a pot of flowers on the windowsill on the right, indicating that Donald can push the door directly in. Today, he is probably still in bed.
Seeing the messy hair and tired expressions of these gentlemen, they should have been waiting outside for a while, Donald simply led them to the bench next to the street, and stood by himself.
"Our boss, Ziel Barthel, let us go into the city to ask a private detective to investigate some recent strange things on the farm..."
These three people are indeed farm workers. Donald's guess is correct. They came to the city this morning and took a farm donkey cart. They bumped all the way for more than two hours, no wonder they were so tired.
As for the incident they were entrusting investigation, the recent disappearance of some lambs and calves on the farm. This kind of thing could have been called to the police, but it was enough to achieve significant property losses. They did do so, but due to the regional reasons, this type of missing cattle and sheep must have been accepted by the local rural police station outside the city.
In rural police stations like this, there are actually no more than 30 police officers in it, but the area they want to be under is not small. It is impossible to make a big move for a few missing cattle and sheep. Who has never lost cattle and sheep when she grazed?
It is common to be taken away by wolves, leopards and other things in the mountains.
At first everyone thought it was just an ordinary disappearance, until two days ago, someone was attacked near the farm.
"A human dead appeared?"
Donald interrupted Godot's narrative, and if the dead appeared, the nature of the case would have changed.
"No, it's just an injury. Someone on the farm caught a monster while watching the night... He said it was a monster. Actually, we haven't seen it before, but he was indeed injured. There were two holes in his arm. The boss disliked the police in the town who were too slow. If things were delayed, it would make our farm's reputation bad, so he came to hire private detectives. I hope you can speed up the progress of things."
There were no dead, just injured. As for the statement of this monster, Donald was interested, but it was useless to be interested. Sherlock, who was standing outside the threshold, had to agree.
“Raffindo Farm… are you sure?”
When I entered the door, I briefly explained the situation. As soon as I said the name of the farm, Sherlock next to me looked surprised.
"The name of the farm, is there any problem... it's Raffindo?"
His question made Donald feel a little unconfident, so he turned around and asked again.
"Yes, Raffendo, that's the name."
"That Raffindo?"
"Yes! That's that Raffendo!"
The question and answer between the farm worker and Sherlock made Donald confused. What happened to Raffindo?
Which Raffindo?
"Don't you know? You can understand the case of corpse on the roof that you have told you before. You three, talk to me, I am a detective."
If you remember correctly, the place where the roof corpse case occurred was also a farm. Donald took out this copy from the sorted documents and took out one of the newspapers.
Sure enough, the name of the farm is mentioned in the first paragraph: Raffindo Farm.
No wonder Sherlock was so surprised that he often saw that one of the parties in the case came to entrust the case. This coincidence really made people feel ridiculous.
But, this also means that he should agree this time.
Donald now understands some of his temperament. Sherlock has a great hobby for supernatural phenomena. This is not limited to watching such books or cases, but wants to actually participate.
He didn't know the specific reason, at least one thing should be certain. Without other choices, the farm should have to go to this time.
"Donald, we're going to go to Raffindo Farm!"
