early morning

In Floyd's alley, foggy and visibility, Aunt Wright, as usual, pushes an old wheeled cart to the market to sell steamed buns.

Since the rescue of One Mo and two people in Yaglo, Aunt Wright's waist has straightened, her legs have healed, and she has become younger, and she seems to have inexhaustible strength every day.

'Crunch, squeak'

Accompanied by the scent of irises, wheeled carts pass through the streets.

Although the fog in the alley is very strong, Aunt Wright has been walking this road for more than twenty years, and now she can go to the market even with her eyes closed.

"Grock. ”

Aunt Wright fell to the ground, and the car rolled over on its side, hitting something.

"Oops!"

Aunt Wright was lying on the ground, and the smell of alcohol came to her face, choking her to cover her nose, and through the gap in the car, she could vaguely see that there seemed to be a person lying on the ground.

There are often people on this road who get drunk,

Aunt Wright was worried about who she had bumped into, so she hurriedly got up, and said in her mouth: "I fell to death, it's not good to lie down, if you have to lie in the middle, you can't drink less." ”

The wheels spin in the air.

When I came closer, there was red blood all over the ground, it was a tattered corpse, like a piece of minced meat put together.

'Ahh

Aunt Wright was so frightened that she sat down on the floor.

＊＊＊

After the first sun,

The fog in the south of the city has gradually dissipated, and the patrol has surrounded the place.

The two brothers, Cass and Kalo, cordoned off the scene first, followed by Haimo, and then Wolf Fang informed Shenhyuk to rush over as well.

The narrow alleys were blocked for a while.

The corpse lay on the ground, the green cloth shirt on its back was in pieces, and the flesh was blurred, and when Cass turned the man over, he recognized that this person was the old tailor Arsen in the bazaar.

"How could it be ......?"

Shenhyuk couldn't believe it, Uncle Asen died like this, I saw him in the market two days ago, when Uncle Asen was happy, holding a newly made dress for Shenhe to try on, Shenhe tried it on very beautifully, Asen gave the clothes to Shenhyuk, it has been like this for many years, Shenhyuk is like Uncle Asen's model, every time there is a beautiful dress, let Shenhyuk try it first, once in order to let Shenhyuk try, I waited for more than three months.

It's like yesterday.

Aunt Wright stood aside, crying and wiping her tears, the two have known each other for more than 20 years, and often close the stall together, sometimes Uncle Asen also helps Aunt Wright push the cart, which is difficult to accept for a while.

The old tailor Asen, his father and grandfather were both tailors, and he was already the third generation here, and the son followed his father's business, and the family was well-off, and the local people basically wore clothes made by Asen.

Asen is a lonely old man, simple, frugal life, his wife has died for many years, he has not remarried, there is only one son at home, the son has been traveling outside all the year round, and he has not come back for many years.

On the steps, a broken bottle of wine, containing a little wine, and everything else was spilled on the ground, this wine was the plumm, which was often drunk by those who went to sea, and was the strongest wine in the city of Moca Bener, which was sold only by the first mate of the horse at the port.

At the doorway, the redwood door was open, with clear paw prints on it, as if it had been scratched by some kind of wild beast.

Cass is good at autopsies, and he already has an idea after a long time of examination: "Uncle Sen died after midnight last year, with a fatal wound in the neck, and many wounds on his body, he should have been attacked by tigers, leopards, etc. ”

Shen He couldn't bear it: "It was made by a beast?"

Haimo: "It's been a long time since there have been wild beasts in the city, and in the rainforest land over there in Beidaying, there were wild beasts that often attacked people a few years ago, and they were blocked as early as half a year ago. ”

Shenhe: "Who is guarding the Beidaying now, is it possible that the animals sneaked in on their own and attacked humans?"

Hai Mo said: "The gatekeeper general of the Beida Battalion is General Zode, no, even if the beast sneaks in and should be in the north city, how can it run to the south city to harm people?"

Wolf Fang said: "Then why can't it be the southeast and west city, and the other three places may also come out." ”

Haimo: "It's impossible, outside the east city is the Koroye Grand Canyon, outside is the orc territory, if you come in, it will be an orc, and the south of the city is a quiet sea, there are fish people, the iris sea is full of flowers, as for the butterfly valley, although it is a forest, there are no beasts in it at all." As for the West City, there are wild beasts, there were originally mountains, but in recent years they have been reclaimed into farmland, and the wild beasts have already run away, and the woods are far away, so only the North City will have them. ”

Shenhe: "What you say makes sense, and it goes against common sense that this animal attacked but didn't eat it." ”

Haimo nodded with her chin on her chin as if she was thinking about something.

A short time later, a painter was invited by Carlo to depict the scene on paper, then took a picture with his camera, and then carried the body of the old tailor Arsen down.

The old tailor's house,

The yard is spacious in front and back, a small manor, bought around in the early years, the yard is dried with colorful cloth, a few large dye vat wafting a fragrance, these dyes are extracted from special plants, and a few pieces of finished clothes are hung on the window.

Pushing open the door, the hall was empty, a table, a chair was placed alone, the candles on the table had already burned out, next to the candle, a teapot was still full of tea, and half a cup of tea next to it was already warm.

Upstairs, there are many rooms, seven or eight of them, a few of them are clean and tidy, and two of them are messy.

On the bookshelves in the room, Shinhyuk saw some flower paper, and a thick pile of letters next to it.

Shen Hyuk walked to the bookshelf, opened it and looked at it, it turned out that the old tailor's son traveled outside all the year round, and he was not idle, he would hire some painting masters to paint local good-looking clothes, and mail these paintings to the old tailor, Ah Sen designed them at home and took them out to sell, and the clothes in the picture were worn by many people in Moca Ben City.

After Shenhyuk turned around, "You guys, come here." ”

Wolf Fang ran in: "What's wrong with Miss." ”

Shenhe ordered: "Put away these paintings and letters." ”

Wolffang: "Okay. ”

After a while, two soldiers came in and lost everything.

Then Shenhyuk came to the house of Asen's son, Asen's son is called Leo, the house is clean and tidy, dusty, the items are neatly placed, there is a family photo hanging at the head of the bed, Asen on the left, his wife on the right, and an old man sitting in the middle, it should be Asen's father, and the old man is holding a baby in his arms, it should be Leo.

After leaving Asen's room and going around the courtyard again, he didn't find anything, so Shenhyuk decided to go to the port.
