(348) Strange man in the alley
"Listen, why don't you listen! I just finished reading the little detective suit Holmes you showed me a while ago, and now I'm trying to hear something that will pique my interest!" Rick thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's okay, but I've also heard about this matter, it's not reliable, and the secrecy work must be done well, after all, there are still many citizens who don't know about it, so don't let others hear it and cause unnecessary panic." After Tibina finished speaking, she immediately pulled Rick into the side alley, which was about five meters wide, and no one walked, so what they said was basically not heard by others.
Rick looked at the mysterious Tibina, and couldn't help but feel some interest in his heart, and then he took a step, walked up to Tibina, looked at her and said, "Say it." ”
"Well, this incident, I heard about it from the little girl in the basement library of the guild, and the credibility should be quite high, this incident happened shortly after the end of the beast tide, that is, during the period when we did the last commission, when one night, three people suddenly disappeared mysteriously in Xingman City, and those three people have no contact with each other, of course, none of them know anyone. ”
"The only thing they have in common is that they didn't seem to be in a good mood when they disappeared. ”
"What's the matter with this concern?" asked Rick, frowning, confused.
"So that's what's so strange about this! And when I say bad mood, it's not like a bad mood, it's like ...... They are not very wishful in life, in short, those three people, all have such a performance, coincidentally, and then later, Xingman City often begins to have people who have the same "mood state" as those three people missing, and according to those people around them, the last time they left their sight, it was like losing their souls, lowering their heads, looking at the road under their feet, slowly, swaying away from their sight, as if they had been lost for a long time, and there was no hope for the road in front of them. ”
After Tibina finished speaking, Rick's pace slowed down, and then he said, "Hahaha!
"You're the size of you! They're all missing! You're still kidding here! In short, those people are very strange and have empty eyes...... Rick!!, watch out!" Tibina said, grabbing one of Rick's arms and pulling him aside, Rick had just walked backwards, so he didn't look behind him.
Behind Rick, there was a passerby walking here, his head slightly lowered, although not as exaggerated as the "lost soul" passerby as Tibina said, but it also looked very strange.
Because of the lack of time, Rick still loaded the man, and after Rick was hit, he quickly turned around and apologized to the man, and then the man first raised his head and smiled very weirdly at Rick, and then lowered his head again and walked towards the outside of the box.
"What? What do you mean? he's forgiving me?" Rick muttered quietly as he watched the man's back fade away. It seems that there is really a feeling of "lost person".
"It's okay, this guy, he lives not far from the front, his wife ran away with someone else a while ago, and her wife happened to let him meet when she had a private meeting with another man, and then they divorced, this is an honest and capable man...... After divorcing his wife, he has always been like this, looking at his appearance, he should have gone out to buy wine, right?"
Just then, the door of a nearby house opened, and it was a very wealthy woman, who held the basin and motioned for Rick and Tibina to get out of the way, and then she poured out the water from the basin.
"Not long ago, he was still a good man who worked hard!
The woman sighed loudly and closed the door into her yard.
"That's right...... Now that we're done with our business, let's get out of this alley first, man...... It's weird, and it's pathetic......" Rick smiled awkwardly, and returned with Tibina the way they had entered the alley, and by the time they left the alley, the strange man was gone.
And now the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that the plan has to be postponed because it is going shopping.
The two of them quickly walked towards the meeting place they had agreed before, and now the time was still ten minutes away, although it was a little early, but because of the weather, several people also met smoothly.
"I'm sorry Chiaki, I really can't do it today!So, let's put it off until tomorrow, okay? If it doesn't snow tomorrow!" Tibina gently clasped her hands together and nodded at Hua Chiaki with a smile.
"Well, it's okay! When you have time, when you can go, I was still full with Uncle Hei and Aunt Bai!" Hua Qianqiu smiled, stroked her stomach a few times, and looked at the black halberd who was laughing awkwardly and the heavy snow that was constantly falling, Tibina was too embarrassed to talk about them anymore.
"Alright, let's go back first. ”
"When the snow stops, I'll build a snowman!"
"Where did you learn how to build a snowman?"
"From my sister's book!"

Half a day later, at Rick's house-
"It's been so long, and the snow still hasn't stopped?"
Tibina stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, it was already dark outside, and some lights shone into the courtyard, and the snow in the yard was already very thick, but the snow just didn't stop.
"Yo, this is your two new sweaters!
The black halberd slowly walked behind Tibina, he was shirtless, wiping his upper body with a large towel, and the scar that ran through his chest was also extremely frightening, despite the muscles that looked like a work of art......
"Come on, you don't know how to cover it, the masters are couple-style sweaters, and you don't have your share!" Bai Hanyue sat on the sofa and looked at her father with a disgusted expression.
"It's too much! I didn't see your bare ass when you were a child!" The black halberd quickly took out a piece of clothing from the storage magic and draped it over his body, and said angrily.
"Come on, I was still in dragon form at that time, okay! Besides, we weren't all ...... dragon form."
"Okay, okay, instead of fighting for this, it's better to ...... Let's wear sweaters like this, look at how beautiful little Nana looks like!"
"I don't want it!"
