"What, do you think there's something wrong with her?"

Issa watched Viggo's back leave the classroom, lowered his voice and asked, but he didn't get an answer, turned his head to look at Hoden, and then saw Hodden shrug his shoulders, which made Issa a little speechless.

"Hoden!"

"In. Hodden replied obediently, only to make Isa roll his eyes speechless, seeing that Issa was about to explode, Hodden explained, "I'm just doing my business, haven't you always been curious, whether the headmaster knows the truth but has been hiding the secret? Besides, I'm also curious, Cardo's secret...... Could it be that Ursula and Ricky were the first ones?

"......" was a bit informative, and Issa and Parcia both stared at Hoden, feeling that Hoden was making a big deal out of it.

Then, Isa's gaze was projected to Viggo's departing back, and he couldn't help but recall Viggo's reaction just now—

She answered Horden's question with patience and anger, and then greeted Horden's gaze in a dignified manner, with no weakness in the slightest, and left only after repeatedly making sure that Horden had no follow-up questions, that calm and calm appearance with proper etiquette, even in front of Horden.

This reminded Issa of her first encounter with Holden, and she had to admit that Viggo's handling couldn't have been better.

But if even Viggo is a victim......?

Issa wasn't sure what she was thinking.

Holden waved his hand innocently and denied it, "I'm just confirming, there is no answer now." We need to figure out the Cardo thing first. As for the rest, I'm just exploring what's possible, remember? I said that it's probably not as simple as it seems. ”

Headmaster, what the hell are you hiding?

Is it Cardo? or something else?

This is the shocking secret behind Cardo's death - but it is worth noting that the principal has been very cooperative with the investigation so far, so it is not clear whether she has a clear conscience, or is she cooperating to guide and interfere with the investigation and mislead their judgment?

It's hard to imagine what kind of ups and downs her mood is going through, but in the end, Issa forced herself to calm down, "We need to find Ricky first." ”

Take one step at a time, and you can't rush it.

......

Ricky's place of work is not difficult to talk about, but it is somewhat remote and equally full of filth. The headmaster also did not hide Ricky's information, and Issa and the others followed the instructions and arrived at their destination.

"What are those damn fellows but full of rotten teeth? I can't get used to seeing them like this when they even say a word, and they think they're His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and then they all look arrogantly and want to look at people with their noses. ”

"Well, at least they're still working on the ship, it's better than the bunch of loitering rocks on the docks, whistling and feasting their eyes, what else can they do, I feel sorry for their mother-in-law, who don't even last ten seconds at night. ”

"Why, if you can hold on to eleven seconds, then you will have no problem?"

"Hahahaha!"

The uninhibited, straightforward and vulgar words stirred in the dark brown walled patio, and the pungent smell of fishy smell permeated the air, and after less than three minutes of being in it, I felt that my hair and clothes were permeated by the strong smell of rot.

There is nowhere to run.

Piled up on the muddy ground and in the smelly ditches, there were rotting seafood carcasses, flies, maggots, cockroaches and other creatures passing through the process, and the thick fishy smell was so thick that it seemed to be able to reach out and touch it, and every step was like walking in quicksand.

Issa and Paxia both have a wealth of experience on the streets, and they used psionic energy to block their sense of smell early, but at this time they have entered a state of olfactory failure, and they can't feel the stench around them at all, but they can still clearly feel the sticky touch coming from the soles of their feet, and their stomachs can't help but start rolling.

And for Holden, it's all new.

Although Hoden's keen sense of smell caught the smell of the air early on, the problem was that the streets and alleys of Iwabuchi smelled similar, even if they were far away from the traditional markets and docks, and for Hoden, every moment was a severe test.

Holden had also tried to use psionic energy to block the sense of smell, but as a result, the sensitivity of the elements also dropped dramatically, which was not a good thing for the daily cultivation of psionic energy - and it was also an obstacle to finding good food. So, Horden came up with a brilliant cultivation method:

Opening the sense of smell, but fully practicing distinguishing between smells, carefully distinguishing different sources from the myriad intricate breaths, including invisible elements and visible objects, has become a habit over time, and the cultivation of invisible psionic energy is as natural as breathing.

The same is true at this time.

In fact, Hordon could feel the fishy smell getting stronger and stronger from a distance, but he did not block his sense of smell, but instead mobilized his spiritual energy to start increasing the intensity of his cultivation - he didn't expect that Horden, who had always been able to lie down without sitting, without standing, and without running if he could walk, would also have such a diligent day.

Hodden felt that he deserved to be rewarded for a whole roasted lamb.

In front of you is a small handicraft workshop, where a group of women gather to help the boats at the pier repair and arrange their nets.

Don't underestimate this job, because there are no tools to complete this job at present, and psionic energy can hardly help too much, so it can only be done manually, but at the same time, the work is very tedious and difficult, and the remuneration cannot be improved because the income of the fishing boat itself is not high, and in addition, every day you need to be exposed to the smell of fish, which accumulates over time, and cannot be washed off at all, so few people are willing to come.

But because the Leia Empire is now in the midst of a war, and the protracted war has caused a general economic recession, and Iwabuchi is inevitably affected, it is already very difficult to find a job, and now the picky people are gradually beginning to compromise, and even such a job is still willing to be done.

Ricky is such a female worker.

It's only been two years since graduation, but time has left deep traces on Ruiqi's cheeks, hands and eyes, the uneven skin tone can see the spots left by the wind and sun, and the fine wrinkles make the facial features disappear in the wind and frost, it's hard to believe that she is just a nineteen-year-old girl, but at this time she looks like a forty-nine-year-old vicissitudes, and she can only vaguely find the beauty and vitality of the past from her facial features.

This conversation was not easy.

Ricky denied everything.

She denied that she had wet the bed, that she had been violated by Cardo, that she knew Ursula, that she had denied everything, as if nothing had happened, until Issa showed the letterhead, and Ricky's expression changed subtly.
