"Shopkeeper, how many carving shops are there in Maigu Town?"

When he turned back to the store, Donald had no idea of ​​racing with his horses with his legs. The muddy road outside the town could make him unable to move forward. Moreover, Sherlock agreed to meet with him in the carving shop, and if he didn't find him, he would have to go into trouble.

“Only one.”

"Just one?"

The Sink carving shop that Old Hober had stopped before?

Fifteen minutes later, Donald waited for Sherlock and Old Hober at the entrance of the carving shop.

"Don't come down, Mr. Hober, go back to the farm soon, something happened!"

He jumped up a few steps and jumped into the donkey cart. Sherlock, who had just stood up, sat back again. There was a wooden box next to him, but he didn't come in the morning.

On the way back, Donald shared all the information he received with Sherlock.

"Wild goat horns, 5 years... This should be an indispensable prop in the ceremony, and the medicinal materials, which are also used for the ceremony without any accident. As far as the current situation is concerned, the two of them have their own special roles in this disappearance case. They knew they should have concealed our whereabouts from others, but they didn't expect that he would follow us to Maigu Town and rushed back one step ahead of us. When we go back at this time, the evidence will probably be destroyed by him..."

Aldridge's taciturn character did not attract attention, and neither Sherlock nor Donald chose him as a breakthrough in the case.

No one expected that he was the key figure.

"I think as long as you face it, you should find the flaws. After all, the managers of carving shops and grocery stores can testify to us, provided that they can be caught."

Aldridge, who returns early, may abscond. This behavior will reveal the fact that he is a criminal, and it also means that once he loses his whereabouts, it will be troublesome to find someone again.

Miss Audrey's whereabouts are likely to be in the hands of Aldridge.

"It's really strange, and it's the same question. Why does a farm have such a taboo ritual, just like the corpse-dispersed case a few years ago... Wait, the corpse-dispersed case is a supernatural case. This taboo ritual cannot be left at that time, right?"

The two cases occurred in the same place, and although the time span was long, no one could guarantee that there was no connection between them.

The donkey cart accelerated all the way, and stopped at the door of the farm owner's house after half an hour.

"Where is Aldridge, do anyone present know?"

At this time, it was definitely too late to explain slowly, and Sherlock rushed into the living room and got to the point.

"He just came to ask for leave and said that a relative he wanted was sick and wanted to go back and have a look. I allowed..."

The Barthleys were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Ziel Barthley gave the answer.

"He went southeast, and there was the way to his relative's house, which he had mentioned before."

Mirina Barthley pointed out the direction, and the two rushed out immediately, and Old Hober didn't know where he went.

"Fran, go and have a look. If there is any news about Audrey, please come back and let us know."

With her fair and slender palms resting on her husband's arm, Mrs. Barthley said to her close maid.

"To do this?"

The fat on Ziel Barthley's cheeks were trembling, and his voice was trembling even more indefinitely.

"Of course, this is for Audrey, she is our daughter, the only daughter, just like I am your only wife!"

After tidying up the messy hem of her husband's clothes, Mrs. Barthley's voice was as gentle as ever.

This time the means of transportation is no longer a donkey cart, but a horse on the farm. Although it is two people together, the speed is still much higher than that of a donkey cart.

The umbrella must be unable to hold on, so the two of them rushed forward with the rain.

"Sherlock, I always think something is wrong. If it's just happening between Aldridge and Audrey, why would there be boxes left in Audrey's room? She took them all away? And don't you think the Barthleys were too calm when we asked Aldridge whereabouts?"

Aldridge's sudden leave request and Sherlock and Donald rushed in to ask about his whereabouts. Normal people could guess what secrets might be hidden in the former, but they sat on the sofa, with their hands tied together, as if they were ready to ask.

"I have doubts, but Aldridge is too critical. If he is let go, it will be difficult to complete our commission this time. No matter what, we must try to catch him. As for the situation of the Bartley family, we will check it carefully when we get the person."

Things are prioritized. At present, Aldridge ranks first in importance. As long as he is caught, the situation can be opened and other situations can be explored according to the clues.

This is true, but it is not just Sherlock and Donald who know it.

"Finally found it!"

Sherlock exclaimed softly, and a figure holding an umbrella was walking forward by the road ahead.

"This guy actually used it...are you afraid that we will catch up with him?"

It was confirmed that the man ahead was Aldridge. His pace was very slow, not even trotting, and his movement speed was similar to walking.

Noting the sound of horse hooves behind, Aldridge turned around and looked, but still did not speed up. He stayed in place for a few seconds, more like waiting for them to catch up.

"Are you afraid of fear? It seems that the blood beast should be nearby. Don't hold back when fighting later. You can't think about the law at this time. If he can really call the blood beast, it is a strange disciple. The government's laws against the strange disciples have clear provisions. In the case of threat, all legal citizens have the right to attack the strange disciples and will not be held accountable afterwards. Don't have any scruples and fight to the death!"

When the distance between the two sides was close to 20 meters, Aldridge turned and rushed into the woods next to him. Both sides of this country road were full of undeveloped forests.

Weeds and shrubs intertwined.

Aldridge wants to force the two to get off the horse and into the woods.

Herody ~

Sherlock pulled the reins, the horses stopped in the neighing sound, and the vegetation was lush next to it, and the bushes half a person were everywhere.

He could only dismount and track the direction where Aldridge left.

Walking through the plants and trees, the water droplets accumulated on the branches and leaves fall on all sides of the body, shrinking their necks, trying to make themselves jump and move forward, so as to avoid being tripped by some branches, but some hard branches keep poking their skin.

Holding the gun in your right hand, the security is open, ready to shoot at any time.

After walking forward for about 5 minutes, the sweat and rain on Donald's face were mixed together, and he was exhausted and he was out of breath.

On the other hand, Sherlock was in better condition than Donald, but his breath was also a little chaotic.

Their location is now far away from the road and deep into the jungle.
