'How do you know this?' Bob wondered.

'You don't have to ask, just tell us how much you know.'

Bob hesitated for a moment and said, "About two months ago, girls began to disappear in the city, all of them were alive and dead, and the royal family and the Holy See were all involved, but there is still no clue, which makes everyone panic."

What do you and Ellros think about this? Don't tell me that something so big is happening in the city, and he, as a fugitive, will be indifferent.' The princess asked further.

Bob glanced at the princess, and it was impossible to tell whether it was fear or admiration in his eyes.

We did look into this privately... At first we thought it was a vampire, after all, there have been a number of sightings in the city recently, but as we investigated, we realized that things didn't seem to be that simple...'

'What do you say?'

'All the clues point to an impossible person... Anyway, we can't make up our minds at the moment, so you should ask Eroth directly at night for the details.'

Hearing Bob say this, the two of us couldn't help but become more and more suspicious, but it was inconvenient to continue to ask, so we had to leave the tavern in a hurry, and in the evening everyone returned to the inn twice, and at dinner everyone gathered together to gather the news they had heard, and from Ah Zi and the others we heard another version of the 'disappearance of the girl'.

'Xiao Jia and I went to one of the victims' homes in the afternoon to inquire about the situation, but we didn't expect to go and learn that the family had moved out yesterday.'

'Moved out?! Aren't they going to look for that kid?'

Xiao Jia and I were also puzzled at the time, so we asked the neighbors around us, and according to them, the family moved out suddenly last night, and they didn't say hello to anyone around them, and they left in a hurry, which made people feel like they were afraid of something.'

Hearing this, the princess and I couldn't help but look at each other.

Looks like the family probably knows something... By the way, did anything unusual about them before they moved?'

Hearing this, Xiao Jia put down the spoon in his hand and said: "Yes, the two of us also inquired about this at the time, according to the neighbor who lived on the other side of the house, he saw a strange woman come to the family yesterday afternoon, at first they didn't let each other into the house at all, and then I don't know what the woman said, but the family's expression changed greatly, and they hurriedly let the woman into the house, and then closed the door tightly, and it took about an hour for the woman to go out and leave, according to the neighbor, the parents of the missing girl at that time also sent it out in person, Both of them looked dead and seemed to have been greatly frightened, and the neighbor thought it strange at the time, and the family moved away in a hurry that evening..."

'It seems that the problem is indeed with the woman, so have you inquired about her origin?'

'No, according to the neighbors, she had never seen this woman before, and she was wrapped tightly up and down at the time, as if she deliberately did not want to be recognized, the only thing that is certain is that this woman seems to be from a good family.'

'What do you mean by that?' I couldn't help but wonder.

Ah Zi explained: "That's right, it is said that the woman left next to a carriage, yesterday morning it happened to rain, there was a lot of water on the ground, because the carriage was too fast, so a lot of water splashed on the woman, if the ordinary women in the market had encountered this kind of thing, they would have scolded her, but the woman did not, just looked at the carriage in disgust, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped it herself, according to the neighbor, it was a fine silk handkerchief, and the workmanship was also very exquisite, and it looked like a high-class person could afford it.'

When the princess heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, 'Hehe, this neighbor is also quite interesting, he didn't see what people looked like, but a handkerchief looked so closely.'

Xiao Jia replied, 'Oh, that's right, the neighbor happens to be a tailor, so he cares about this kind of thing.'

The princess nodded: "I see, so it must have been something that the woman said to the family, most likely a threat and intimidation, so the family was so frightened that they moved away overnight, but what kind of person could make them so frightened that they didn't even care about their daughter?" And the other victims' families have never heard of such a thing, so why is this alone...'

Hearing this, Ah Zi and Xiao Jia couldn't help but change their expressions, and hesitated for a while before listening to Ah Zi whisper: "Actually, the two of us also felt strange about this matter, so we inquired about it again, and at first we found nothing, but just as the two of us were about to leave, we suddenly found a little boy staring at us in the distance, as if he wanted to say something to us, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to come and speak, so the two of us had to pull him to the side of the alley, After inquiring for a long time, he learned that the boy and the youngest son of the missing girl's family were the best playmates, and he had heard the other party say that his sister was eaten by a big snake.

'Eaten by a snake?' I couldn't help but be surprised.

Well, when we first heard it, we were both surprised, so we continued to ask the child, according to him, her brother was at the scene on the day of the girl's disappearance, and he saw his sister being called to the side of the alley by a beautiful woman in white, as if to talk about something, and suddenly the woman turned into a big white snake, and swallowed the girl alive on the spot, and the boy was frightened, and hurriedly screamed, but the big snake also found him, turned his head and chased after him, and the boy was so frightened that he hurried home and ran home, and at the same time shouted for help, But when the family and neighbors arrived, they didn't find anything, and the boy insisted that he had seen the whole thing, but no one believed him at all, and when the officials came to investigate, the boy also told them about it, but those people reacted to it very coldly, and seemed to think that it was just a child's whims."

So what does this so-called 'beautiful woman in white' look like? Are there any of the characteristics?'

'About thirty years old, very pretty, fair-skinned, with blood-red eyes, and a pattern on his belt, which according to the victim's brother was familiar to him, but for a moment he could not remember where he had seen it...'

When the princess heard this, she frowned and asked, 'Did the boy tell anyone else about this?'

'Well, he's said it to many people, even the investigators...'

'I see...' The princess let out a long sigh and sat back in her chair, a disgusted smile on her face, Ah Zi and Xiao Jia were obviously a little puzzled by her reaction, but I vaguely guessed her thoughts.

'So the family was actually forced away?' I asked.

'Hmm.' the princess nodded.

Remember what Bob said at the bar that afternoon? Now it seems that this 'girl disappearance case' should involve the upper echelons of the Borrell Kingdom, and even the royal family, which explains why the official investigation has been inconclusive for so long, in fact, they already know who the prisoner is, but they can't touch it at all, they dare not touch it, and the reason why the family suddenly moved away should also be what kind of warning, after all, who let their youngest son see something that shouldn't be seen, and muttered around? Hehe, it's even possible that the family didn't move away at all, but had been cut down and eradicated to prevent future troubles...'
