The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 393
c382 call
It sounds reasonable. Xing Ze repeated it in his mind. He continued to pretend to listen to Jezebeth’s plan seriously.
Unlike Todd’s previous plan, Jezebeth planned to sneak into Brestchester College. The association had a gathering point there, located in an abandoned bell tower in the old campus, and the place where the trucks came to unload was in the bell tower.
Before that, she had sent people to investigate, and there was no problem with the bell tower on the surface. But after several tracking and in-depth observations, Jezebeth believed that there was a space under the bell tower, just like the Kimball family’s house.
As for this side, Jezebeth told Xing Ze not to worry, the important personnel sent by the association had arrived in the morning, and this side would be handed over to those professionals.
Xing Ze did not raise any objections, but only asked about the time of action. Jezebeth told him that because time was urgent, they would set off in an hour.
She asked Xing Ze to get ready within this hour, and generously provided some potions that could restore magic power, which was exactly what Xing Ze needed now.
There was a potion in his ring to restore his magic power, but because of the exhaustion of magic power caused by the previous battle, he didn’t even have the magic power to open the traceless stretching spell. After this period of time, although his magic power was restored a little, it was used for the apparition just now.
Now, there is a free potion, of course he will not refuse. But because of the poisonous tea before, he kept a watchful eye and did not use the bottle of magic potion immediately.
It’s said to be preparation, but in fact, for Xing Ze, it’s more like doing nothing. All his belongings are basically in the ring, and there is no need to deliberately prepare anything. However, considering that he doesn’t have much magic power now, Xing Ze plans to bring some firearms. Although these weapons are not as powerful as magic, they are better in quick action and continuous suppression.
Thinking of this, he found the chef and asked him if Todd’s three guns were still there. Fortunately, the three guns were put away by the chef and hidden in the office.
“Come with me, I’ll take you to get it.” The chef said neither servile nor arrogant. He lost the flattery just now, but was more resolute.
The office had been cleaned up. Emily and the few people who came later were quite efficient. The carpet under the table had been replaced, and the bloodstains around had disappeared, at least it was difficult to find with the naked eye. If no one cared about the whereabouts of these three people, I’m afraid the police would just treat it as a missing case.
Of course, this is unlikely. People will socialize when they are alive, and people will miss them when they are socializing. What’s more, for an association manager like Todd, he must see a lot of people on weekdays.
It was not Xing Ze’s turn to worry about how to conceal this matter. He picked up one of the three pistols and checked the ammunition. The magazine was full of exorcism bullets. It was really a big investment.
“Can I have the other two magazines?” Xing Ze asked the chef.
The chef didn’t say much, picked up the other two guns and handed them over.
Xing Ze took off the magazine and put it on his waist, and asked again: “I just heard Todd say that during the plague last year, you took the medicine they made?”
When mentioning this, the chef’s face sank a little, and he replied: “That medicine was not developed by Todd at all.”
“Oh, really? But I heard from Roman that they found the antidote in the ancient alchemy manual.”
The chef pushed the drawer back and explained impatiently: “It was obviously found by Miss Jezebeth.”
“I see.” Xing Ze nodded, and he figured out one more thing.
Walking out of the office, Xing Ze came to the front desk of the restaurant and asked for a phone number. He first called the police station. After learning that Ellie and Rayben were out on business, he wanted to hang up, but the police officer who answered the phone said that his call could be transferred to the University of Liverpool.
Xing Ze thought about it and let him transfer it. It took a while for the call to be answered by Ellie.
The eldest lady’s voice came from the other end, “I know what Frank is looking for.”
“What a coincidence, I just figured it out.”
“Oh? Then you go first.”
“He came to Brest to find a man named Douglas Kimball, or to find his nephew Thomas Kimball. There are clues that the book “Snake’s Tooth” is in Kimball’s home.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Ellie replied with some confusion: “Kimball? I found a local team of Frank that once investigated the Hawkins family. A lost family. They tried every means to get the branch of this family in the United States, that is, a member of the Vincecott family, to come back and inherit the old house at 78 Hurst Street, Mosseyside County.”
“Wait, you just It’s the Hawkins family?”
“Yes, the Hawkins family, which made its fortune from the slave trade. They were once famous people in Liverpool. But now there are no legitimate descendants.”
“It’s hard to say.”
“What do you mean?”
“Douglas Kimball’s grandfather was from the Hawkins family. He was kicked out of the family, so he was erased from the family tree.”
“Aha, it seems that everything can be connected. In addition, John wrote to me. He asked Richard Gaunt that “Snake’s Tooth” was sold to a witch at a price that was not high. He said that the witch lived in Brichester all year round.”
“The witch should be called Cady Kimball, a member of the Unsolved Mysteries Society. She is Douglas’ grandmother. Did John go to verify it?”
“He went.” The eldest lady replied, “The Gaunt family’s information is kept in the local library and is quite messy. He asked Edwin and Reko to help. It will probably take a while to check it, so there is little hope. So have you found Kimball’s family?”
“No. Douglas disappeared decades ago. And just recently, Thomas disappeared as well.”
“Snake man?” Ellie guessed.
“It is very possible that the Hawkins family has been cursed by the snake man…”
The eldest lady took over the conversation and said, “Because they wanted to open up the underground waterway for smuggling black slaves, but accidentally ran into a snake man.”
Xing Ze was slightly startled. He didn’t expect that Ellie had found out so many things in such a short period of time. “It seems that you have gained a lot there.”
“This is just a guess at the moment. I have asked people to conduct further investigation to see if more clues can be found. In addition, I will ask Ribbon to follow the name Douglas Kimball and see if Where he was last seen.”
“Yes.” Xing Ze responded, “I still need to deal with some things here, and I will come back when I’m done. Oh, do you know about the things about Emberhead Village?”
“I haven’t heard of it. What happened?”
“That village was a lair of the snake people, and it has now been destroyed. Like the surviving snake believers, I fled to other places. For details, you can ask Ribbon to go to Telford Police Station to ask.”
“I will. So, that’s it?”
“That’s it.” Xing Ze paused for a while, then said: “Pay attention to safety.”
“the same as you.”
