Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Traveling Merchant
I've kept you waiting, Miss Cloeld. The maid Lena bowed deeply.
"The master has arrived, please explain the details to the master in detail. As soon as the words fell, the door of the detective agency was opened, and the four of them walked in one after another, Helen and Zhou Feiyu walked in the first row, and Helen held Hill's hand like a gentleman.
"Good······ It's so beautiful······"
Zhou Feiyu's clothes are Gothic dresses carefully selected by Helen, to be precise, they are made into the style of Gothic evening dresses, the clothes are divided into three large pieces, one is the base inside, it is a princess long skirt, simply put, a bandeau long skirt, but Zhou Feiyu is obviously a high neck, and a black jacket is sewn on the princess long skirt, and this jacket seems to be made of special fabric.
It's not so much a jacket, it's more like a half-skirt and half-windbreaker, but it's not a skirt, and the skirt seems to be carefully sewn together with the princess skirt, which should be two very mismatched clothes, but the wonderful thing is that there is a small shawl in this dress, and the white shawl plays a coordinating role in fusing the two completely mismatched clothes together. But after a moment of surprise, Cloiffel threw out a proposition.
"That····· Aren't you hot? It's hot now······"
Zhou Feiyu smiled awkwardly, squeezed out the word "not hot" from his mouth and sat on the chair.
"So, let's talk about the commission. ”
"Ah!" the girl suddenly remembered what she was doing.
"That's right, my father he's missing. ”
Zhou Feiyu touched it.
"How long has it been. ”
“······ It's been half a year. ”
"It's hopeless, please go back. ”
Helen punched Zhou Feiyu in the head from behind.
"What do you mean it's hopeless?"
"No, you think, this girl is a traveling merchant, and it usually takes a year to two years for a traveling merchant to go out of the country, but why does she come to us for help after disappearing for half a year? ”
"But it doesn't matter, the point is, why did you disappear for half a year before you came back to me? I'm afraid that this young lady's father has explained to this young lady how long she will go out, and this time has obviously passed, so this young lady will ask the police for help, and after no result, she came to us with the mentality of giving it a try. ”
All eyes were on Clofel, who nodded slowly.
"That's right. ”
"Hmm······ Oaks United?"
"Huh?" this time clearly frightened Clofel.
"Alright, Ciel, stop for a moment, it's not the first time you've scared away guests. Helen said.
Zhou Feiyu had no choice but to shut up and make a gesture of please.
The girl calmed down for a moment, then began to talk about her manager.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ellie Clofel, I'm a traveling merchant, my father is an orc, and I'm a half-orc. ”
As she spoke, Ellie lifted her ears, and because they were hidden in her hair, no one could see that the lop-eared rabbit was half-orc.
Zhou Feiyu's eyes became sharp: "You······ Is it a donkey man?"
This time, it was Shimokawa Zi who jumped up and gave Zhou Feiyu a stick.
"Are you alright? Ellie asked hurriedly.
Zhou Feiyu raised his head and said, "No problem." ”
"Wait a minute, you're bleeding, is it really okay?"
"No problem, no problem, homely. ”
Zhou Feiyu wiped the blood off his head and said, "Then let's talk about it in detail." ”
"Hmm······ Okay, well, the door lives in the north of Oaks Union, and we as traveling merchants usually go to the ports in the south to transport seafood products everywhere, but about eight months ago, my father said that he would go alone, and come back in two months, I think if I just went on the road without any goods, I think this time is enough, but when I found out that my father had not come back and disappeared out of thin air. ”
"Therefore, I beseech you, save my father. In terms of remuneration, is 100,000 menz okay?"
Zhou Feiyu thought for a moment.
"Lena, go and arrange a lodging for this young lady, and let me think about it. ”
"Okay, excuse me, please help me. Lena then left while Ellie left.
Everyone, look at me, I see if you don't understand what Zhou Feiyu means.
Zhou Feiyu said with a long sigh.
"First of all, two points, the first is that we are not suitable for this kind of long-term foreign commission, we are still students, if we leave the school for a long time, what should we do with the compulsory courses? I don't need to take the compulsory courses, but what about you?"
"Then there's the difficulty. ”
"Traveling merchant, from the north to the difficulty throughout the Oaks Union, his father can be missing for many reasons, landslides, monster attacks, robbers and many, many more. ”
"And it's been more than half a year, and these traces have become unusually few, assuming that her father has something to carry with him, it is impossible for the thieves to find them after selling them several times without spending a few years. ”
Everyone was silent, indeed, almost everyone was thinking too much about it just now, that's right, even if Zhou Feiyu can calculate the relationship and possibility between people, but unlike before, whether it is the entrance ceremony or the competition of the adjudication meeting, there is a clear scope and a fixed amount of character relationships.
And if you want Zhou Feiyu to calculate it in detail, this needs to sort out the relationship between the country's connections and the environment, and it is also a variable that is constantly changing, with Zhou Feiyu's current strength, it can be said to be a fantasy.
"But, one thing I know for sure, is that Ellie Cloiffel is not lying, but she is hiding something, and if I'm not mistaken, 'something' will help us find her father, so I'm waiting for her to say it herself, because I don't want the client to hide anything from me. ”
"Well, how did you know you were hiding something?" asked Ivy
"How do you think a traveling merchant can come up with a deposit of 100,000 yuan? This price is something that some people can't earn in their lifetime. ”
"Indeed, there is something wrong with a traveling merchant being able to take out a deposit of 100,000 at once, no, it is more than right, Menz's issuance is not much, 1000 Menz is enough for a family of three to live for a month. Helen said.
"Well, it's not my proud girlfriend, come and touch your head. ”
