Mina and Childe looked at each other after hearing Adeline's words, and then Childe said back to her: "Yes Adeline, we also thought of this at the time, so we asked someone to check the events of the year and found that' Tribecia' Hotel was indeed burned down in a big fire. However, the bodies of those who were burned to death in the fire have been found, and their families have also received the compensation they deserve. Logically speaking, they should not This weird situation happened."

Adeline nodded after hearing this. The situation in the room was obviously caused by a ghost with lingering grievances, but according to the information obtained by Childe, the hotel fire incident was completely resolved, and there were no victims who died of injustice. , Then, who is that female ghost in the house?

"Have you checked who was the guest who lived in room '314' back then?" Burke seemed to have accepted the fact that ghosts were haunting, and began to provide Adeline with new ideas from the perspective of criminal investigation.

"It was a woman named Dorothy Owen, who was said to be a nurse at a maternity and child center in the town. She also died in that fire, but she didn't die in the room. It is said that she was dropped from the ceiling while escaping. The falling weight crushed his leg, and he was burned to death!" Childe was obviously very concerned about his wife Mina's affairs, and had considered all aspects and found someone to investigate clearly.

However, ten years is too long, and the truth of the matter has long been buried with the disappearance of "Tribethia". Although it is not easy for Childe to find out these news, no one can guarantee the truth.

At least, Adeline always felt that the story that happened in the "314" room would not be so simple. For example, Dorothy was a nurse in the town, why did she live alone in the hotel?

Burke also felt that this woman named Dorothy was full of doubts. Although he was not a police officer in Cedro Town, after all, within the police system, it was easier to investigate some things than an outsider like Childe.After thinking about it, he took out his phone and rummaged for a while, then walked out of the room and made a call at the end of the corridor. The call time was not short, but when the Childers and Adeline were about to go to the elevator and wait for him, he hung up. The call came back.

"I contacted an acquaintance, and he said that he could take me to the file room of the town police station to check the details of this female nurse named Dorothy. Adeline, you can deal with it with Josh first. Okay about Rene, I will contact you if I have any new clues!"

Adeline nodded. She thought that today's matter would be easy to deal with, but she didn't expect that it would involve an old case ten years ago. However, they had to set off before dark. If it couldn't be done by then, she We can only use spells to subdue the ghost in the "314" room first, and then decide how to deal with the female ghost after the investigation is clear.

When Adeline was in the Qingzhou Continent, she rarely forcibly dispelled ghosts. Forcibly expelling ghosts would make them disappear completely in the world, so that they would not be able to re-enter reincarnation or enter the way of ghost cultivation. Adeline herself is a cultivator. So unless she encounters the heinous ghosts, she is still willing to leave a way for them to survive.

Seeing that it was getting late, Childe and Mina invited Burke and Adeline to have lunch together, but Adeline had to meet up with Josh to meet Miss Rene, while Burke was in a hurry to go to the police station, The two declined the kind invitation of the Childers and his wife. In the end, the Childers and his wife had no choice but to make an appointment with them for dinner, and then they left separately.

After the Childers left, Burke looked at his watch and said to Adeline with a smile: "There are still seven hours until dinner at 06:30, it seems that we have to speed up! How about it, Adeline, have a confident dinner Do you want to solve this problem before? Oh, to be honest, since I had to accept Wesen, Green and you, a witch, I suddenly realized that there is nothing in this world that I cannot accept, ghosts, right? Little cass!"

In fact, Adeline also felt that Burke was very accepting, and he was calmer than Josh, a descendant of Grimm, when facing these ghosts. However, as far as Adeline was concerned, she liked Burke very much. Ordinary people, since they exist objectively, accepting is always more appreciated than avoiding.

"Don't worry, Burke, I already have a way to deal with this female ghost in my heart, but after the investigation is clear, the female ghost will disappear by itself without us taking action. She must have resentment in her heart if she refuses to leave in the human world, and she will leave naturally when the resentment is gone!"

Burke understood the meaning of Adeline's words, he nodded and said: "In this case, I have to work harder to clear her grievances. I'm a little tight, so I won't be with you and Josh Let's have lunch, let's solve it separately! Call later."

"okay bye!"

Adeline received a call from Josh as soon as she separated from Burke, and then she entered a coffee shop very close to the apartment building according to the address Josh gave.

This coffee shop also serves Chinese food, but it is quieter than fast food restaurants, and the tables are far apart, which is very suitable for conversation.

When Adeline came in, Josh and the little girl Rene had already started eating. Adeline had just finished ordering with the waiter when she saw Josh sitting opposite her winking at her while eating. Unfortunately, Adeline and He didn't have any tacit understanding, he just turned his head to look at the little red-haired girl who was eating quietly, Rene.

Perhaps feeling Adeline's gaze on her, the little girl suddenly raised her head and stared at Adeline for a long time, as if confirming Adeline's identity as a witch, and then stared at Adeline with her stubborn eyes. Looking into Adeline's eyes, she said firmly: "Belinda is a fox demon, really, I'm not lying, I saw with my own eyes that she grew a fox head, why don't you adults believe me! "

Adeline was stunned, and immediately looked at Josh. Josh seemed to be shocked by Rene's words. He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and asked Rene: "Little girl, didn't you say that Belinda Is she a vixen? Why is she becoming a fox again now? Also, you said that you saw her grow a fox head. Why didn’t you say that when I asked you before? You mentioned this to others ?"

Adeline clearly felt the uneasiness in Josh's series of questions. The fox spirit is different from the vixen. The vixen generally refers to those coquettish women who like to seduce a man with a master, but the fox spirit is Wesen, a creature of Green A monster recorded in the encyclopedia.Josh had originally resisted his identity as a descendant of Green, but he deliberately stayed away, and instead got closer to Wesson. If he knew he would have followed Adeline and Burke to the apartment building.

At this moment, Josh suddenly remembered that he didn't know what trouble Adeline and Burke were going to solve, and he immediately turned to look at Adeline and asked, "Adeline, you and Burke are in the apartment building What I met here was Wei... ah... is that some kind of creature?"

Thinking that Renee was still sitting next to him, Josh abruptly changed a more subtle word, and kept blinking at Adeline, conveying the message of "you know, you know".

Seeing Josh's strange appearance, Adeline couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. She picked up the napkin, wrote "ghost" on the paper with a pen, and handed it to him.Then, she saw Josh staring blankly at the words on the tissue and not moving.

Seeing that Josh finally calmed down, Adeline stopped caring about him. The little girl Rene seemed not interested in the piece of paper in Josh's hand. She just stared at Adeline, as if she couldn't get Adeline If you agree with her, you won't give up.

At this time, Adeline's order also came, and she motioned for Renee to continue eating, so the two began to chat while eating.

"Did you actually see Belinda grow a fox head?"

"Well, I was lying on the bed and sulking all the time, and I was going to ask my father to drive the woman away when he came to say good night to me, but he never came. I got up and went downstairs to see that the woman was still there. They stayed at home and did not leave. The two of them cuddled together on the sofa. Huh, when I got angry, I pushed the vase on the table next to me to the ground. The sound was very loud. It turned into a fox. My dad just stood up and yelled at me, but I was staring at the woman angrily. My eyes are good and the room is bright. I can't mistake her. It's just a fox demon!"

"Hmm!" Adeline nodded to express her belief in Renee's words, and then asked, "Then why did you tell Josh that Belinda is a vixen? I think you know the difference between the two, right? "

"Hmph, I know he's just an ordinary person, and ordinary people won't believe what I say, just like...just like my dad!"

Rene told her father Raymond about seeing a fox head growing on Belinda's head, but Raymond would never believe it. He just thought that Rene couldn't accept his new relationship now, so he was like some children. Start talking nonsense.Rene also tried to tell her friends at school about it, but their reaction was the same as her father's, they didn't believe it.After a long time, Rene stopped talking.

Adeline gave Josh a funny look after hearing this, and it turned out that he was fooled by the little girl because of this.

At this time, Josh has made a choice from the entanglement in his heart, "Wesen is scary or ghosts are scary". He still thinks ghosts are scary (ghosts are also loved by humans), and if he had to choose one, he would rather hunt Wesen like his father Rowler than catch ghosts.Thinking about it this way, it seems that becoming a Green is not unacceptable?

"Rene, have you ever thought that your mother has been missing for ten years, and she may never come back? So, it's not a bad thing for your father to start a new relationship!"

This time, little girl Rene stayed with her hair down for a long time, stirring up the pasta on the plate with the fork in her hand. After a while, she looked up at Adeline and nodded, saying, "Yes, actually, I often think about my pasta in my heart. Mom may be gone long ago, and she will never come back. But... well, you don't understand, well, I can't explain, anyway, you can go to the street where my house lives If you inquire about it, you will know why I can't accept my father falling in love again."

Having said this, Rene suddenly became a little irritable, and then she didn't want to talk anymore.

At this time, Josh spoke up. In fact, he had already inquired on that street before he approached Rene. It turned out that Rene's father is quite famous in this town of Sidru. Just ask a local , they all suddenly said: "Oh, you are the 'crazy Raymond' who asked!"

"Infatuated with Raymond", his wife has been missing for ten years and has never forgotten her. The past few years have been fine. In the past few years, they almost went bankrupt looking for her everywhere. Even if people in Cedru Town don't know Raymond himself, they still listen Those who have heard the touching story of his search for a wife are said to have a large group of "admirers" of him!

"The person who portrayed himself as such an infatuated man suddenly started a new relationship. No wonder Rene couldn't accept it! Not to mention Rene, most people would find it difficult to accept it!" Josh touched him sympathetically Rene's soft red hair, but she gave her a hard look.

"No one else knows about my dad and Belinda at all! If it wasn't for that woman who sneaked into my house that time, I wouldn't know about it either."

After thinking about it for a while, Rene finally revealed the secret. It wasn't just Josh, even Adeline was surprised. It turned out that the two of them were the first to know about this matter.

But think about Raymond and Belinda, one is very likely to be a cautious fox demon, and the other has been labeled as an "infatuated man". difficulty.

Adeline also finished her lunch at this time, she pushed away the plate and stood up, and said to Josh Renee who was looking up at her: "Okay, after talking so much, let's go see that Belin with our own eyes. Is it a fox demon in the end! Rui Nei, we can agree in advance, if Belinda is really just an ordinary person, then we will not accept your business!"

Rene seemed to be full of confidence. She nodded vigorously and stood up and said to Adeline: "Okay. I know where that woman works, and I will take you to find her right away!"

Josh quickly stood up and followed behind the two women, one big and one small, and said nervously: "Renee, slow down, we'd better make a plan, I think we'd better not have a fight with this Belinda The woman is in direct contact with her. Let's find a hidden place and take a peek at her. Adeline, you say yes! In case, I mean in case, if this Belinda is really a fox, then we are in danger Already!"

Adeline ignored Josh at all, and Rene didn't listen to him and slowed down. Josh had no choice but to trot and follow.Rui Nei turned around and said to the two while walking fast, "That woman is working as a nurse at the 'Shengnuo' Maternity and Children's Center Hospital not far ahead. .”
