The red sun sets in the west, the sunset stains half the sky on the horizon, the glow of dusk sprinkles on the winding river, the warm wind blows through the fields, the wheat waves surge like a tide, and the villagers who have been busy all day sing songs and carry farm tools back home.

In the fields, the grass was everywhere and dotted with flowers, and the farmers drove their cattle, sheep and horses into the pastures, closed the fence gates, and the howling of the sheepdogs was loud in the open plains.

This is an idyllic and peaceful scene on the plains north of the Sheena Wall, and two days ago a few visitors quietly arrived, claiming to want to buy some cattle and sheep.

In a simple cabin, four people are eating dinner around an old camphor table.

Wren took a bite of the bread, picked up the glass with fresh milk, and poured himself a mouthful: "At first glance, this is really an ordinary countryside, the environment is stable and peaceful, everyone works at sunrise and rests at sunset."

It's just that some bear children are not likable.

After staying for a long time, my whole body has become lazy, and I want to retire here. ”

Fei Li pursed her lips and smiled: "The reputation of the Lacey family is good, especially the eldest daughter Frida, who has black and bright hair, is warm and kind, gentle and sincere.

Even though 5 years have passed, the villagers are still full of praise and regret when they mention it. ”

Wren pursed his lips and raised his glass to drink fresh milk: "Yes, many young people look like pig brothers when they mention it, and they probably don't have any lust in their hearts." I'm also curious about what the goddess sister looks like.

By the way, what do you think about that incident 5 years ago? ”

Videk touched the mustache on his chin with his hand: "There is a strange thing everywhere, saying that some gang of bandits sneaked in and killed all the people of the Lacey family who were praying in the church, and only the head of the family, Rod Lacey, escaped."

But here's the problem, no one found the shadow of any robbers at all, and besides, what kind of bandits are so powerful, they have collapsed most of the entire church, which is a wall made of masonry! Even if you set a fire, it won't collapse like that! ”

Wren sneered: "Yes, even if I come to dismantle it, it will have to be busy until dawn, and it may not be able to be demolished, is that gang of bandits coming to rob with cannons?"

It was all Lord Rod's account, and it happened to happen on the night that the Wall of Mary was broken, and one night shortly after, Rhodes went to see his illegitimate daughter Histeria for the first time.

What do you think of the destruction of the church? ”

Ymir and Firi frowned and didn't speak, and Videck thought for a moment, "Could it be a giant who demolished the church?" ”

"What? No, Reiner and Ani don't seem to know much about what's going on inside the wall, and it's unlikely they'd have gone straight to Lacey five years ago. Fili was shocked.

Wren nodded: "I think we overlooked an important person, Alan's father, Grisha Yeyer, very coincidentally, he disappeared in those days, and the doctor also knew the secrets of this world and put him in the basement. ”

"The connection is also too far-fetched." Ymir interjected.

Wren asked quietly, "Ymir, you are very concerned about Sistra, have you been here before?" ”

Ymir was stunned: "No, this is the first time I have come to the place where she lives." ”

With a twinkle in his eyes, he was sure that the other party was not lying, and he had a vague answer in his heart.

Regarding Allen's father, Wren ignored the character of Dr. Grisha for a long time, until the basement of Allen's home became the target of the Survey Corps for more than a month.

At present, his mental state is relatively stable, and after straightening out the memories in his mind, he recalls a small detail.

"When Mom died, Dad became so weird!"

In the picture, Dr. Grisha is holding a syringe and seems to want to inject Alan with something......

The doctor was suspicious, and the way he taught his children was strange, according to Allen, his mother's nagging was annoying when he was fighting outside, and his dad almost never cared about it, and didn't stop him from joining the Survey Corps, even pulling out the keys to encourage him......

This also proves that the doctor saw Alan again after his disappearance and gave him the basement key, but Alan has no memory at all.

This person is so strange that Wren decided to find someone to find out, he doesn't know about doctors, and Alan doesn't actually know much, but someone does.

Detective Wren took out a pen and jotted down key information on the paper, such as "The Doctor, the Basement, Giant's Power, 5 Years Ago, the Church Destroyed, Rhodes Going to See Hesteria, and the Central Gendarmerie Corps Searching for Allen and ......".

Of course, there is a more urgent matter at the moment - to get the winner of this coup, if the regiment commander's guess is true, it will be a turnaround.

For this reason, maybe some people will have to shed some blood.

"Tonight, I've been following the central gendarme in town for days, and it's time to close the net." Wren's voice was cold, and some things were either not done or never done.

Videck sighed: "It's a pity that Rod Reis hasn't been seen at all lately, only a gendarme in civilian clothes patrols in front of the rebuilt church every day. ”

"That church is not that simple, it is estimated that it is very important, the door is locked, and we can't break the door violently for the time being." Wren kept an eye on it and decided to ask the regiment commander to send someone here to squat after he returned.

After an early dinner, Wren packed up a small backpack and prepared to surprise someone.

"Don't you need our help?" Ymir asked.

With a light snort, Wren showed a light smile: "There's no need, I'm very good at fighting, specializing in all kinds of disobedience, and I won't give the other party a chance to pull out a gun." ”

As the sun sets, night falls, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars in the sky are dotted, echoing with the fireflies on the grass, and the sound of insects is crisp and pleasant.

Not far outside the church, a middle-aged man in plain clothes is smoking a cigarette on the grass, Ward Gere, 46, a veteran Central Gendarmerie whose father, Keir Sr., is also a Central Gendarmer.

Elder Yu Yin, Mr. Ward joined the Central Gendarmerie Corps at a young age, and he served the True King for more than 20 years, and he served Uli Reis, Frida Reis, and currently for Rod Reis.

Mr. Ward hated Kenny Ackerman, that man killed more than a hundred of them back then, and that's it, during the time when Uli was king, the other party was also regarded as hard-working, but now, there is no one in his eyes, and he has no reverence for His Majesty Rhodes.

Since the death of King Uri, Kenny has become very dishonest and ambitious, and has engaged in something to suppress the troops and go his own way.

Mr. Ward also admits that compared to His Majesty Uri's extraordinary bearing, His Majesty Frida is infinitely charismatic, and His Majesty Rhodes seems mediocre, but he is still a noble and supreme king.

The Lacey family is the bloodline of the king of the world, ruling the world as early as before humans entered the wall, and it has been passed down for about 2,000 years.

It can only be said that there is a reason why Kenny didn't bring Ward, even including Sanes, Kenny just pushed him out to attract the firepower of the Survey Corps and act as cannon fodder.

Mr. Ward smoked a cigarette and patrolled back and forth in the moonlight, though he knew that the doors of the church were locked and that it would be difficult to enter by idle means, and that his work was of little significance.

But Ward still worked hard and never paddled the water. For the sake of the king, whether it is suppressing dissidents, having bloody hands, or doing boring patrols, he is willing to do it without regrets.

He hated the clever and opportunistic guys who thought they were smart, and the whimsical, restless people. He also doesn't like the fools of the Survey Corps, who know every day that they go to the wall to die and waste taxes.

Mr. Ward thinks that if it weren't for their hard work, their dirty work, their cleansing of the restless, and their strange and dangerous inventions banning and nipped in the bud, would the ignorant people enjoy a hundred years of peace?

Hearing that Kenny was going to deal with the Survey Corps, Ward threw away his cigarette butt and stepped on the fire extinguisher, with a look of disdain, hum, dog eat dog, better both dead.

As the night deepened, drowsiness hit, he took out his pocket watch, looked at the time by the moonlight, and it was ten o'clock in the evening, and today's patrol was over, and the shift change came, and he walked towards the nearby town.

His wife and children must have waited for a long time, he is not a good father, and he actually got married relatively late because he is very busy.

To get to town was through a small wooded strip, and Mr. Ward hummed a little tune and walked unhurriedly down the country lane, unaware that a Scourge of the Survey Corps was following......
