Red Leaf Castle, a wide street, carefree is walking alone.

The streets are bustling with people, and from time to time there will be aristocratic carriages passing in the middle of the road. The taverns and restaurants on the street have been open for a long time.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the tavern at this time seemed much more deserted, the door was full of hangover people, the waitresses of the tavern were scantily dressed, and their faces were slightly tired after smiling all night, and they were laboriously cleaning the mess all over the house.

From time to time, there will be drunkards who pretend to be drunk and have not woken up to tease a few words, and they will be even more proud when they get a few light curses. The people around him seem to have become accustomed to the scene in front of them, and they still do their own things.

Early in the morning, she woke up without worry, and she didn't sleep well last night, and the strong sense of uneasiness in her heart made her want to complete this trial as soon as possible and return to her family as soon as possible. For this reason, she got up early to go to the missing person's home to ask for details.

She hadn't seen the town for a long time, so she paid more attention to the things on the roadside, and she was really a little disgusted by the complicated environment outside, and she was still the most kind in the family!

I was bored after a round trip, put away my complicated thoughts, and concentrate on my tasks without worry. After questioning a few passers-by, she managed to find the home of the first missing person.

Excluding the mercenaries who came to accept the mission, a total of 12 people were missing in Momiji City, and without exception, they were all young men. With the missing list from the lord of the city, he knocked on the door of the first missing person.

The missing person was a friend of the lord's son, the son of a local merchant. The son of the city lord is a gentleman, relying on his father to be the lord of the city and doing a lot of ridiculous things, climbing the girl's wall, staying in the Qinglou for a long time and not going home, seducing the wives of other nobles...... His romantic history is said to be endless for three days and three nights.

As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped, as his friend, the merchant's son is not a trouble-free master, and the son of the city lord has his part behind every earth-shattering event.

After waiting for a moment at the door, a guard ushered her in. Different from the simplicity and elegance of the City Lord's Mansion, this mansion gives people the feeling that it is piled up with gold coins, all of which highlight the identity of this merchant and tyrant.

After passing through various avenues and paths, Worry-free finally arrived at the banquet hall.

The businessman was very indifferent to the coming of Worry-free, after all, his son had been missing for so long and it was not that no mercenary had accepted the task to find him, but which time was not the same loss of trace, he had no hope for his son's return, so he just perfunctorily cooperated with Worry-free, and occasionally cast a complicated look like Worry-free.

From his gaze, Sanssouci could even feel sympathy, yes, he was sympathizing with her, and in the eyes of the businessman, Sanssouci was already a person who was about to die.

Ignoring the merchant's sympathetic eyes, Carefree just sat and listened quietly, asking a question from time to time, and after learning the information she wanted to know, he took his leave and left.

She then visited the families of the other missing persons, and the results were the same, and all she received was indifference, perhaps not even if it weren't for the identity of the Carefree Magician.

Everything seemed to have reached a dead end, and I thought I was doomed to fail. Slightly disappointed, she visited the last family of the last one, expecting to get the same answer, but when she explained her intentions, the family's expressions were very strange.

When they heard that they had come on a mercenary mission issued by the lord of the city, they were terrified. Yes, fear was evident in their slightly guarded eyes.

Carefree felt very strange, because their family members were missing, and someone came to help them investigate and find them, they would be so scared, and after a little thought, after many inquiries to no avail, Carefree decided to leave pretendedly.

"Finally gone, what do they want, not to mention that our son is missing, and now they have to come to our house to help us find our son, don't they even let go of our remaining son!"

The middle-aged man sat on the chair resentfully, holding the teacup tightly with his right hand, the green tendons on his hand were particularly obvious due to excessive force, and he seemed to vent all his anger on the teacup, because of anger, half of the tea in the cup had been spilled on the ground.

"Master, don't be angry, that's the city lord, it's not for us civilians to offend," a middle-aged woman stepped forward to comfort, her brows furrowed slightly, and she was seriously full of grievances.

"City Lord? What about the city lord? He dared to say that the disappearance of our son had nothing to do with him. Can you just rely on your status as the lord of the city to brutalize us civilians at will? Don't think that we are just civilians and don't know anything, which of the dozen or so missing people disappeared from the world without attending the banquet of his city lord! ”

The middle-aged man was still angry, and some words that were not mentioned in front of Wuwu were also confided at this time.

"Master, don't say it, the wall has ears, we know it in our own hearts, what can we change if we talk too much, everything that should have happened has already happened......" The middle-aged woman's eyes were already filled with tears, she took the teacup in the man's hand with one hand and put it aside, covered the man's mouth with the other hand, and hurriedly stopped.

"Hey, that's it, if it weren't for the fact that our youngest son accidentally saw a maid come to convey the order of the city lord's wife and invited our son to the side hall for a gathering, we might have been kept behind by now!" The middle-aged man's eyes were already full of pain, and he broke away from the woman's hand and muttered.

It seems that he can't believe this cruel fact, and he doesn't want to believe it, but the younger son never lies, and later he secretly investigates, and it is true that the last place where the missing people appear is not the banquet held by the lord of the city.

All this is not accidental, it's just that the only son of the city lord is also missing, so everyone didn't put their suspicions on the city lord's mansion, thus ignoring this very suspicious place, he knew that it was not necessarily the city lord who killed their son, but the city lord definitely couldn't get out of it.

He didn't dare to say such an astonishing fact, so he could only swallow the family with broken teeth and blood in his stomach, and everything was rotten in his stomach, so he just knew everything in his heart.

Since the disappearance of his eldest son, he strictly forbade his younger son to have any intersection with the City Lord's Mansion, and he was relieved that the younger son was also obedient, and now he only hopes that the family can continue to live in peace with this secret.

Unfortunately, his wish was still in vain, and he didn't know that his conversation with his wife had all entered the hidden ears of Wuwu not far away.

Carefree was also shocked by this result, her eyes were full of disbelief, but it also pointed the way for her later investigation.

She had seen the Castle Lord, and from his words, he felt the Castle Lord's strong desire to find his son, and she really couldn't believe that the Castle Lord knew about this.

She noticed that a middle-aged man had mentioned just now that the city lord's wife had asked the maid to invite, and she didn't have a good impression of this city lord's wife, and when she recalled her hostile eyes, she felt close to the truth. However, she still couldn't believe that the murderer was this middle-aged lady who was properly maintained.

With doubts in his heart, he decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find out. Different from the last visit, this time she became a gentleman on the beam and sneaked in. After wandering around the city lord's mansion for a long time, he finally found the room of the city lord's wife.

At this time, it was already noon, and the lady of the city lord, who had just eaten lunch, was resting in her room. Seeing so many guards and maids, Sanssouci decided to lurk near her room first, wait for the city lord's wife to leave the room, and then go inside to investigate.

It's a pity that after staying carefree for a long time, the city lord's wife has no intention of leaving the room. She stretched her slightly sore waist, moved her lower limbs slightly, and her face was full of impatience, carefree was not a person who could sit still, and after staying here for so long, her mouth could hang a flask.

Just as Carefree Patience was exhausted and ready to leave, a majestic female voice came into her ears.

"Is the list for this banquet ready?" This female voice was carefree to recognize, it was the voice of the city lord's wife, probably because she had just woken up, and there was a laziness in her voice at this time.

"Mrs. Hui, everything has been prepared, and Baron Sean is also among the invitees, he and the young master are the same age, and the invitation will be sent to their respective mansions in a while." The maid stood respectfully aside, holding a list on her chest in both hands, and answered to the city lord's wife.

"Well, old rules, you go down and do something!" The city lord's wife just took the list with one hand, and waved her hand to let the maid retreat.

"But... Be... Madam, the city lord has upgraded the mercenary mission, and someone has come to investigate, should we slow down first and hold a banquet when the limelight passes! ”

The maid did not dare to disobey the orders of the city lord's wife, but because of the worry in her heart, she still had the courage to refuse to leave, she lowered her head and said tremblingly, and her trembling voice could see the fear in her heart.

"What are you afraid of, I said continue, I'll continue, I've already seen that little mercenary, he's not very old, just a D-class mercenary, at a glance, I know that Lu Dao has a good relationship with the mercenary union to receive a B-level mission, if he checks it out, we will let him come and go!" The lady of the city lord was very tired of the maid's question, and there was already a slight anger in her words.

After hearing this, the maid knelt down in front of the city lord's wife as soon as her legs weakened, her body trembled even more, and her voice trembled even more and said, "Yes...husband....people...!"

"Okay, let's go down, don't forget to continue looking for someone about the same age as the young master!"

Looking at the frightened maid, the city lord's wife's patience had run out, and she urged the maid to retreat again.

In a corner outside the room, Wuwu was covering her mouth with her hands, the conversation between the two people in the room just now, she listened to it word for word, and her heart was extremely horrified, she didn't expect that the murderer that the city lord had been looking for turned out to be her wife, she covered her mouth tightly, because she was afraid that she would exclaim if she was not careful.

At this time, Wu Wu, who had no experience, just wanted to leave here immediately and ask the city lord to explain the matter.

But just as Wu Wu was about to leave, the flower pot next to him was accidentally rubbed off by her, and the flower pot still fell to the ground after shaking it a few times.

The loud "bang" was particularly abrupt in such an afternoon, and the carefree heartbeat also stopped for half a beat with this muffled sound.

The originally slightly narrowed eyes of the city lord's wife in the room immediately opened, and she walked towards the outside of the house at an incredible speed.

Carefree in the corner outside the house glanced in the direction of the city lord's wife without tears, and was about to teleport away immediately, but when she was about to leave, she found that she couldn't move, and then it was dark in front of her and she didn't know anything.
