"I didn't come to the bar that day, Cook, remember when Thomas closed?" asked Soros.

"I still remember that Thomas cleared the store at 22 o'clock that night, as if it was because his daughter Daisy was not feeling well, so he closed the store early. Cook replied respectfully.

"Bailey, Thomas's bobsleigh shows no signs of being used. Soros asked instead.

"No, it's covered with canvas. Bailey responded immediately.

"It's much easier, I can ask the townsfolk on the radio if anyone saw the Thomas family, or one of them, after 10 p.m. that night, and then ask anyone after that point who noticed the sound of the bobsleigh, because maybe the Thomas family was on the killer's snowmobile. If so, I think it would be possible to narrow down the search a bit. Soros looked at Chiko tenderly.

"I've thought of this for a long time. Eric pouted.

"So, let's go our separate ways. Soros turned back to Cook and said, "Cook, you can take the three of you around the town first, and while introducing the customs and habits of our town, we will see if there are any new discoveries." After speaking, Soros handed Qianzi a red cashmere scarf, "This color suits you very well." ”

As soon as Qianzi wanted to refuse, Soros hurriedly turned around and left, not giving Qianzi the slightest chance to refuse. Chiko stroked the scarf in her hand, and suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. But soon he felt Eric's burning jealousy, as if he wanted to tear the scarf into a ball of thread. She immediately took it with her, giving Eric a disdainful look.

"Truth be told, if I hadn't been an agent, I'd have been warmed by this well-mannered mayor. Caitlyn whispered to Eric.

"Where do we start? After walking out of the Blizzard Bar, Caitlin tries to break the cold war between Eric and Chiko.

"This way!" Eric and Chiko pointed in two different directions at the same time.

"Which side the hell. Cook interjected inappropriately.

"Well—that's good, there's a scarf and you're going to run to his office. Seeing that the direction of Qianzi happened to be the location of the town hall hall, Eric sneered angrily.

"I'm not like some people, who only talk about it, and don't forget, it's Mayor Soros who is helping you narrow down the search. Chiko nodded at Erik's shoulder and reprimanded.

"So we'll split up, I'll go this way with Eric, and you and Cook go that side. Caitlin reluctantly came up with a compromise solution.

"But—" Cook hesitated, "are you two unfamiliar with the town?"

"It's okay, we have this, and I'm confident that my sense of direction is pretty reliable. Caitlin shook the atlas she had picked up from the town hall yesterday.

"Chiko, I just saw that the scarf on the back of your neck is a little messy. Caitlin leisurely walked up to Chiko's back, pretended to tidy it up for her, and then quietly knocked on Chiko's back the Morse code.

"Watch out for Cook. Chiko silently translated in her mind, then turned back and responded to Caitlyn with an affirmative look.

"Do you think there's something wrong with Cook?" Caitlyn explained her doubts about Cook directly to Eric on the way.

However, Caitlin saw Eric's originally gloomy face suddenly turn to worry, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She asked tentatively, "Are you worried about Chiko?" I had already warned her beforehand. ”

"Uh-how!" Eric quibbled, but he couldn't help but worry about the naïve agent.

"Do you like Chiko. Caitlyn asked very explicitly.

"It's—it's even more unlikely. Eric turned his head to hide his inexplicable shyness.

At this moment, a snowmobile approached at a rapid pace, but as it passed by Eric and Caitlin, it suddenly slowed down and finally stopped beside them. The driver of the snowmobile bowed slightly to the two and said, "Welcome to the visit." ”

"Can you recognize us?" said Eric laughed.

"Of course, we have already received a radio from the mayor this morning that three tourists were frightened last night and need to be taken care of by each and every one of us. I've never met two of them before, and I think you're two of them. The snowmobile driver looked very apologetic, "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Bilis, who is responsible for delivering vegetable rations to every family." ”

"So you know everyone in town?" asked Caitlyn.

"Yes. Know that vegetables are more valuable than salmon on this island. That's why the townspeople call me 'Billis' Vegetable," and Billis takes great pride in his work.

"Have you ever heard of any recently lost children in town? Caitlyn asked.

"Lost?" laughed Billis, "it seems you're still very new to our town. ”

"Uh-huh, why do you say that?" asked Eric.

"Mayor Soros cares about every resident here, so as long as any resident disappears for more than 3 hours, Mr. Mayor will ask Officer Bailey to investigate and ensure the safety of every resident. Not to mention children, who are the light of tomorrow in our town?" explains Billis proudly.

"Thank you for the introduction. Although Eric was very reluctant to hear any praise for Soros, he still smiled politely.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" asked Billis enthusiastically.

"No, I think you still have a lot of vegetables to give. Caitlin patted the back of the snowmobile with baskets of tomatoes, cabbage, and so on.

"Have fun, then. With that, Billis stepped on the gas pedal and walked away quickly.

"Do you see what?" asked Eric, looking at Billis's back in the distance.

"What?" Caitlin didn't understand.

"Didn't you realize that we were being watched by a pair of eyes?" Eric prompted.

"You mean—" Caitlin turned her attention to Billis, who had become a black spot.

"There's nothing wrong with that. "Cook is nominally there to look after us, but as he says, the townspeople report everything to their mayor, Soros. And that Billis and the rest of the inhabitants will be like Cook, we are now the stars of the town, and our every move is watched, remembered, and passed on by word of mouth, and the news will eventually flow to Soros's desk. ”
