Chapter 31: Wood River Town 3

This also shows that the upper limit of force in Wood River Town will not be high, of course, this is only on the surface.

Deciduous Town is more of a miniature version of the city, and Woodriver is the regular size of most of the towns here. He didn't even see a temple of nature in the town.

"It turns out that the glory of the god of nature is not universally available everywhere. ”

Although he was wandering the streets, he was not lazy, in addition to observing the atmosphere of the town, he was also watching for anything that was overlooked.

Although there have been successive incidents of people going missing, and one person died the day before yesterday, most of them had relatively normal faces, and only a few people seemed worried.

Although the town is not prosperous, it is not poor, and after walking around, Horren did not see any homeless people, everyone relied on the Lante River, which is rich in aquatic resources, as long as they were not lazy, they would not starve to death.

During this period, he asked several local town residents about what happened during this time, and they were all very cooperative. Those who did not cooperate, under the power of Yinpuler, also spit out the truth.

Their accounts are similar to the young man they met by the river, some of them don't even know the Gaya who died this time, and some of them do, but only because they know each other.

After that, after asking a few random people, I didn't find any useful information.

I can only go back to the hotel to see what Anria has gained.

In the evening, the room in the hostel of Horen.

The two men sat at the only table in the room, exchanging information they had gotten.

"I asked some people and didn't get any useful information. ”

"However, there is a piece of news that makes me very concerned about why the mayor did not report it to the city as soon as possible after the disappearance case and let people solve the matter. ”

"Instead, I suppressed this matter, and I heard from the people in the town that the mayor of the town was very prestigious, made a lot of contributions to the town, and was also loved by everyone. ”

There are no decent guards in Woodriver Town, only some of the town's boys selected by the former mayor to serve as guards to protect the town's safety. Because it is not far from Siwa City, anything that happens in the town will be reported to the city hall of Siwa City, and someone will help the town solve the problem.

Although some people were puzzled, they didn't doubt anything, and relied on their previous prestige to believe in the mayor's decision.

"This mayor is very problematic. ”

"I've heard from other people about Mayor Mare and his contributions to the town, and this incident doesn't seem like a decision he could have made in the past. ”

Anriya found out what Horren didn't find, and it really helped a lot. I can't help but feel relieved by my decision to pull her into the gang.

Thinking about it, from time to time to pull Anria as a long-term teammate, what tricky tasks will be taken in the future, when people are needed, the role of teammates is very great.

This is just an idea, and it is necessary to wait for this matter to be over, and it is necessary to take into account Anria's thoughts.

She shouldn't refuse, right?

Gather your mind and carefully analyze the current situation, "This mayor, we need to test him. ”

"Also, the young man I met at the beginning, he would know more than anyone else. ”

Anriya reacted, "We need him to tell the full truth. ”

"That's right. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, there was already some tacit understanding.

The night passed.

Last night was uneventful, nothing happened, and today the people of Muhe Town have returned to their normal lives.

It's not that they forgot the events of the previous day, but that nothing is more important than to live. They need normal labor to ensure that they have enough food to survive the winter, and other things can only be taken care of by more capable people.

After inquiring about the mayor's residence, Horen and the others headed straight for their destination.

The mayor of Muhe Town is named Crow, and he has been in charge of Muhe Town for ten years, and he has done his best for the development of Muhe Town, and the purpose is only to make the lives of more townspeople better.

Regardless of his role in this matter, the least respect is given to him. After all, Mayor Crowe wasn't a prisoner, and they didn't know the guards.

In front of an ordinary house, the door is closed, and the mayor lives no different from everyone else, and he does not use his power to make his material life better.

Knock knock!

Holren knocked on the door, but there was no response, "Is Mayor Crow at home, please?"

It took a long time for someone to respond, "Who?"

As the voice responded, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the door was opened, revealing a man of about forty years old.

The face that has been exposed to the wind and sun all the year round looks particularly old, the face is covered with folds, and the appearance is dignified, which is typical of the toiling masses at first glance.

"Is it Mayor Crowe?"

"I am, is there anything you guys are up to?"

Horn heard the other party's confirmation and smiled: "That's right, we were commissioned to come from Siwa City to investigate the recent disappearance of the fisherman. ”

A hint of surprise flashed across Mayor Crowe's face, "You're from Siwa City?"

"Alas~ I originally wanted to solve this matter by myself, but I didn't expect that I couldn't do anything, you guys came here just to help us find the murderer, please. ”

Mayor Crow was a little depressed and invited them into the house.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, I'll tell you everything I know. ”

Holren nodded at Anria, who questioned the mayor, "Why didn't you report the incident to the city hall when it first happened?"

"If it hadn't dragged on until now, it wouldn't have been fatal. ”

Crowe trembled, big tears flowed down his face, and his voice choked: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I thought it was just an ordinary accident." ”

"I didn't expect it, it's not an accident!"

Huo Lun seized this point and hurriedly asked, "Why not an accident?"

When Crowe heard his question, he wept silently and began to tell his worries: "Actually, two years ago, a fishman died in our town, and this is their revenge!"

According to Mayor Crowe, a few years ago, there was a disaster in the town of Woodriver, and a tributary of the nearby Rand River suddenly flooded the town for unknown reasons. Most of the people didn't have enough to eat, and then a fish-man appeared and formed friendships with the people of their town, helping them to recede the surging waters, and giving them fishing skills and some valuable knowledge.

It should have been a beautiful talk about mutual help between races, but I didn't expect a sudden disaster to happen, someone accidentally killed the fish-man, and since then, people have not dared to talk about fish-man related topics.

Since then, no one has seen a fish-man again.

"Who's that townsfolk who killed the fish-man by mistake?"

"It's Arnold. ”
