I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 475

"You mean, the attack we suffered today was from within the royal family..."

"It's not that mysterious, it's just that every investigation needs a beginning."

Alice leaned back on the expensive royal sofa, showing no signs of restraint whatsoever.

“Let’s start from this point and investigate slowly. You can’t expect me to go to the building to collect evidence; Su Fan has already wrecked that place.”

William suddenly realized what had happened, and then began to recount his experiences from that afternoon.

Alice listened and nodded, while scribbling in her little notebook.

After the former finished narrating, Alice also gave her own judgment.

"You are clearly cursed."

"curse?"

"Ghosts generally only linger in the place where they died, or in special places they could never forget in life. As long as you consciously avoid such special areas, your life can be guaranteed."

"But curses are different. You don't know where you'll get them, or when they'll explode. It's like a time bomb stuck to you."

Upon hearing Alice's easy-to-understand explanation, William's first thought was of the car accident he had experienced that afternoon.

"It seems you've figured it out too. There's something fishy about the car accident you had this afternoon. My strong suspicion is that school bus driver."

Alice put down the notebook and stood up.

"Staying here and reasoning won't stop the killer's scheme. I'll go check out the crime scene."

"Now?"

William turned his head to look at the thick darkness outside, and hesitated.

"The visibility is too poor at night, so we probably won't find any useful clues. Maybe we should try again tomorrow."

"Don't worry, this is not a problem for me."

William tried to dissuade her, but his eyes met Alice's golden-brown pupils.

For a moment, William was stunned.
He understood the inhuman nature of the woman in front of him and swallowed all the words of persuasion he had prepared to say.

The next instant, Alice vanished from his sight.

……

The youth-preserving pills refined by Su Fan gave Alice ample energy for her activities.

Even if it maintains high speed for a long time, it will not fall into a state of hunger and exhaustion like before.

This greatly enhanced Alice's ability to survive; as long as the other party didn't set up a trap beforehand, she was confident she could escape.

It might sound shameful to retreat without a fight, but she was a non-combatant, and the front lines were never her responsibility.

Alice also had her own considerations regarding acting alone.

She didn't think she was strong enough to bring along her burden to advance the investigation and hunt down the mastermind.

He simply left William at Buckingham Palace and rushed to the scene himself.

As she drew closer to her destination, fragmented, shimmering images began to surface in Alice's mind.

In addition to precognition, she also possesses the ability to profile.

To be fair, this ability is rare among vampires, but compared to another ability like foreseeing the future, profiling is much less impressive.

But this depends on the situation.

For example, profiling is more useful than prediction now.

Alice arrived at the scene very quickly.

She leaped lightly from the streetlight and landed at the deserted intersection.

The tire marks left by braking are clearly visible on the road below.

She crouched down and touched the tire tracks on the ground with her hand.

Through a series of hazy and indistinct images, Alice gradually pieced together the whole picture of what had happened.

School buses, full of children, drove smoothly through the streets and alleys of the city.

The driver was clearly very familiar with the route, moving slowly and deliberately with ease.

He didn't seem to intend to do anything special, just wanting to safely return the children to their homes as usual. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared beside the driver.

He bent down, leaned close to the old man's ear, and whispered something unintelligible.

【□□□……】

The old man's expression remained unchanged, but he began to shift gears.

"bump……"

With a clear bang, the school bus finally collided with a black luxury car in front of it.

The scene ends abruptly here.

Alice recoiled as if she had been electrocuted, pulling her hand back from the tire tracks on the ground.

She could continue profiling to see how things progressed, but her intuition told her she couldn't keep spying.

During the profiling process, for a fleeting moment, Alice felt that the blurry dark figure seemed to tilt its head slightly in her direction.

This wasn't the first time Alice had experienced this chilling feeling.

Previously, in order to help Su Fan inside the building, she forcibly obtained key information by foreseeing the future.

However, this also led to her being severely injured by the mysterious force that traced her back, causing her to go blind and never recover.

The current situation is very similar to that of that time.

But the Alice of today is quite different from the Alice of that time.

She took out a calming talisman and stuck it to her chest, then scattered talismans to suppress evil in all directions.

These talismans enveloped Alice almost completely, then adhered to every part of her body.

The pale golden light coalesced, forming thick barriers that protected her before quickly disappearing.

Last time Alice acted on her own, but this time she has Su Fan's support, so there will be plenty of talismans.

"When poor, use tactical infiltration; when rich, use firepower coverage."

This is a phrase that someone uses frequently.

Alice had once teased Su Fan about the strong nouveau riche vibe in his words, but now she felt that the latter was absolutely right.

The sense of security that talismans provide is truly remarkable.

I love the business trip allowance.

As Alice pondered this, a slight noise came from the shadows to one side.

The former became alert instantly.

"Who's there? Come out!"

…………

Mayfair split up.

After hanging up the phone, Ron seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Her mind was filled with the words Emilia had spoken to her earlier.

"Patriarch, you have feelings for Lord Su Fan, don't you?"

"Don't be shy, anyone with eyes can see the strange atmosphere between you two."

"But what I find strange is your attitude towards Lord Su Fan, Patriarch."

"If you really want to take things a step further with the person you like, the first thing you need to do is to put yourself on an equal footing with them."

“I know this is difficult, but it’s not right for you to have such high hopes and strong admiration for Su Fan.”

"Because longing is the emotion furthest from understanding."

"Your actions are actively building a barrier between you and Lord Su Fan."

"If we don't make changes, the distance between us will only grow further and further."

"You're asking me how exactly to do it? To be honest, I'm not really sure either... How about starting by figuring out what kind of women's clothing the other person likes?"
