Chapter 635 Red Butterfly in the Rain
The time comes this Thursday, when I wake up early in the morning , I heard the sound of rain beating on the window from outside the house, I opened the curtains in slippers, and saw this peaceful Tobesque early morning, it was actually raining lightly:
"Autumn rain, it looks like it's going to cool down again. ”

Compared with the somewhat long summer, Tobesque’s autumn is relatively short. Once the harvest month has passed, it is equivalent to the autumn half past. People in the country will think about storing food for the winter in the next month, and consider the source of income in winter, while the detective living in the city will also think a little about whether to use the fireplace in the living room on the second floor in winter.

Although the residents of St. Teresa Square enjoy the unified heating of the steam pipes, if they want to live comfortably in winter, the fireplace is still indispensable.

"However, an iron fence must be installed in front of the fireplace, otherwise it would be bad for Mia to run in."

Thinking to herself, she touched the cat that was being held. A cat lazily lying in Shade's arms. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shade always feels that the cat that just woke up is softer than the usual cat. . .

Thinking in my heart, I reached out and poked Mi Ya's stomach, which caused the cat to ignore Shade until after breakfast.

Shade had no plans to go to Fort Midhill this morning. After breakfast, he held an umbrella and left home with Mia who was reluctant to go out, and went to Quill Street.

After knocking on the door of Dorothy's rented apartment, the landlady glanced at Mia, who was wrapped in Shade's coat with only her head exposed to prevent the rain from getting wet, and reluctantly let him in. .

Shade also politely put away the umbrella, stood in the storage bucket behind the door, wiped the shoes on the foot pads and walked up the stairs.

"Oh, Shade, good morning, I hope you came to visit me so early this time, it didn't bring any bad news."

Dorothy said jokingly with a smile, because It was raining, and she didn't seem to have any plans to go out today, so she was wearing home clothes.

It was a blue cloth dress, very much like those worn by noble governesses. On the front of the upper body, there are two rows of decorative silver buttons arranged in parallel and vertical, which is probably the new style this autumn.

"I heard that Laccia went to your place yesterday morning?"

"Yes, I took the opportunity of Agelina Princess's outing and went to me with her. There, we talked about the [sleeping] spirit rune."

Shade sat on the sofa and took the teacup from Goldilocks, who sat on the sofa across from him:

"Did Agelina go? I don't know about that, but I just heard from Lecia that she was going to see you on Tuesday morning."

"Lescia and Agelina seems to be in a good relationship with her sisters, as if it were better than with her other sisters."

"There's a reason for that."

Dorothy winked at Shade Blinks, but doesn't explain why:

"Then, detective, what are you calling me for? Is there something in trouble?"

Shade put the He took out the red copper butterfly pendant, disassembled it into two parts, and explained the rumors about the "Gemini Gods" that he knew and his experience in Fort Midhill.

This is a relatively long story, Shade tried to keep it short, from the bard at the Sikar Hotel to last night's Professor Manning, a full ten minutes.

During this period, Dorothy picked up the two red butterfly pendants to check, and when Shade finished speaking, she shook her head with a smile:
"Lescia and I have tried many ways, but we can't. Solve the problem that we can't see each other. Yes, really tried a lot of things."

Looks like she doesn't believe the problem can be solved so easily:
"It was just swapping bodies at first. Later, we communicated from the diary. Later, we gradually became curious about each other, so that we finally decided to meet. It seems that time has not passed, but it always feels like a memory from a long time ago.”

She said a little lonely.

"Then have you sought help from the power of the Old God [Gemini]?"

"No."

Goldilocks shook her head.

"Then give it a try, I'll go to the address Lazia left me in a moment, and let Agelina's maid bring half a red butterfly into the Yordle Palace. At ten o'clock, you Hold an umbrella with me, and pass by the door of Yodel Palace, and Lescia can stand at the window and look towards us. When the time comes, you can try to look at each other, so that you will know if this works."

Shade separated the red butterflies that Dorothy had attached to each other again, handed one to her and the other into his pocket:
"Don't refuse, just in time for me to tell Lacey Ya, the investigation she asked me to investigate at Fort Midhill has also come to a conclusion, so please send the letter along with the half red butterfly."

Seeing Shade's insistence, Dorothy showed him tenderness. The smile:

"Alright."

She doesn't seem to be in high spirits, and Shade can understand that maybe many previous attempts have failed, so she doesn't want to be hit again .

"Let's go back to St. Teresa Square together. I'll deliver the letter. You can help me take care of Mia at my place. When the time comes, we'll go to Silver Cross."

Shade will The cat in her arms was handed to Dorothy.

"How did you take it out?"

Mia looked at Shade pitifully in Dorothy's arms, obviously reluctant to leave him outside the house.

"Always at home, it's time to come out and breathe. I plan to wait for the situation in Fort Midhill to settle down and take it to see the mountains. This cat always likes to bully its own kind. , maybe I can find a tiger in the mountains and let it change its temper."

"I bet you'd be reluctant to leave Mia to the tiger."

More Rosie said with a smile and hugged the cat who was unwilling to leave Shade:

“speaking of which, why haven’t you bought it from your client?”

"Miss Gaode is seriously ill, how can I speak in this situation."

Shade sighed:

"Wish her health, if she is really seriously ill, When the Middleshire Fort thing is over, I will personally go to the town where her hometown is. It is much faster to get there by train from Middleshire Fort than from Tobesque.”

"Why wait for the Midhills thing to end?"

Dorothy asked suspiciously:

"I heard you say that, Midhills? There's a big problem, but what does this have to do with you. Wait, Shade, aren't you going to do something dangerous again?"

Shade shook his head hastily:

"Don't worry, I'm just investigating some things over there. At least so far, I don't want to make any specific plans."

"It's better, although I hope you can become a so-called hero. "

This is the first time she's called Shade that way.

".But I don't want to hear from you suddenly in a few days, you have solved the problem of Midhill Fort."

"I'm afraid there is something going on there. It won't take a few days."

Shade in the heart whispered, then heard "her" chuckle again.

It's not that much rain, but it looks like it's going to last all day. Dorothy took Mia to No. 6 St. Teresa Square first, while Shade stepped on the muddy water on the road with an umbrella and went to the "Mary Jane Flower Shop" on Silver Cross Avenue.

Although he was only here for the first time, someone greeted him as soon as he walked in:
"Mr. Hamilton."

After confirming that the other party was Agelina's maid , Shade handed her the letter and the half butterfly, and the maid immediately changed her clothes and prepared to enter the Yordle Palace.

Shade also learned later that in fact, the entire flower shop is owned by Agelina's maid.

It was very close to ten o'clock, and when Shade got home, he just had a cup of tea and chatted with Dorothy about her "Hamilton Detective Stories", listening to her think about it. After adapting Shade's experience investigating the Academy murders yesterday into a story, the two went out again.

This time, Mia hid in the closet in the bedroom ahead of time, no matter how much Shade shouted. This cat hates going out, even more so on rainy days. Having been tempted by Shade with bacon in the morning and then caught and taken out of the house, it's probably going to take a long time to think carefully before biting away the food from Shade's hands.

According to Shade's understanding of the cat, "a period of time" would probably last an entire afternoon.

Dorothy's mood is still not very high. When she walked with Shade on Silver Cross with an umbrella, she just chatted with Shade one after another.

It was raining, and there were not many pedestrians even on the usually lively Silver Cross Avenue. Only when the carriage hurried past, it would make a small splash towards the curb.

Because the time was accurate, it happened to be exactly ten o'clock in the morning when the two passed by across the street from Yodell Palace. Shade and Dorothy lifted their umbrellas back slightly, then turned to look towards the tallest building in Yordle Palace.

The main building of the Yodell Palace is some distance away from the street. When looking towards the window, it is also a bit fuzzy across the rain screen. But the two of them still accurately captured red with long dazzling hair by the window on the left side of the third floor, Shade with narrowed eyes, and vaguely noticed that there was another short red-haired person beside her.

"How's it going?"

Shade asked Dorothy expectantly, but didn't expect the blonde writer lady froze there, keeping her head turned looking towards Rain Curtain Actions.

"What's wrong?"

Dorothy shook her head, clutching the half-winged red butterfly in her left hand, and threw the umbrella in her hand to the ground.

She turned around, lifts the head, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked towards the window of Yodel Palace in the rain. The rain wet her blond hair and shoulders, and the water slid down her pale cheeks.

Shade wasn't sure if it was rain or tears.

Avoiding the speeding four-wheeled taxi carriage, when the ground water splashed on Shade's boots, he bent down to pick up the umbrella that was about to be blown away from the ground, and stood there. Dorothy's behind covered the rain for her, and under this gloomy sky with her, looked towards Yordle Palace.

Tobesque on a rainy day is like a faded oil painting, only black and grey remain. But the two red butterfly pendants with only half wings seemed to be the only colors in the black and white picture at the moment.

He already understood that the red butterfly pendant that Old John made casually based on that ballad or poem was effective.

He knew better that in that distant building, there was another girl by the window looking at it, looking at Dorothy, also weeping.

"Joy? Rejoice? Or something else?"

Shade didn't know and couldn't guess. He was in a good mood at this time, standing silently behind Dorothy with an umbrella, just thinking in his heart, folklore and history are really interesting.
