Chapter 71: Intelligence Gathering (II)
When I came to the dock for passenger transportation, there happened to be a group of guests who stepped down from the docked ships, all dressed brightly, either rich or expensive!
Glancing at the expressions on the faces of those passengers, Bai knew that it was useless to ask them!
Then Bai set his sights on the service staff who have been working here for a long time!
Bai's gaze swept over those service personnel one after another, although they were all smiling on the surface and very enthusiastic, but it was not difficult for Bai, who had mastery-level [observation] skills, to see that there was a trace of unnaturalness in their smiles!
A hint of fear, and a hint of helplessness!
Seeing this, Bai knew what they should know, but the Adventurer's Guild should have asked them about the situation, and it shouldn't be much to gain if they inquired again, but Bai still decided to ask!
Locking up a coachman who didn't get a job, Bai was ready to walk over and talk!
But at this time, a small figure was loaded on Bai's body!
"I'm sorry!" When the figure reached a humble voice, he immediately ran away!
After looking at the little back and turning the corner, he entered a small alley, and Bai frowned!
Judging from that figure, it was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, the clothes on his body were not good, but they were not bad, he or she was wearing a felt hat on his head, and the brim of the hat was very low, which was a little deliberately to cover his appearance!
Originally, Bai could have discovered and avoided such an impact in advance, but Bai didn't expect that the person was on a route that was impossible to collide with, but suddenly collided with it, and Bai also clearly felt that the moment that person hit it, he put his hand into his shoulder bag and seemed to have taken something!
Thinking of this, Bai checked his satchel a little and found that there was nothing missing, and after thinking for a while, Bai opened his attribute panel again and found that he had 10 less game coins!
I was stolen by that little guy and stole 10 gold coins and left!
But it was only 10 gold coins, and Bai was not going to pay attention to it, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of something, so he immediately turned around and chased after the figure just now!
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Rune tugged at a half-new coat wrapped around him, one of his favorites and the only one he had intact!
This was an unexpected gain he had half a month ago, and he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene he saw at that time!
He moved quickly through the alley, which he had been walking for 3 years, and it was the only way he would go after every time he finished his work!
Today's work was completed very smoothly, although at the beginning he was a little hesitant to make a move on the man in the cloak, but after the shot, he was surprised to find that that guy turned out to be a big fat sheep!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the gold coin in his coat pocket!
There were 10 gold coins!
He'd never seen that much money in his life!
You must know that his previous remuneration gold coins were only a few copper coins, and only once he was very lucky to get a silver coin, and then he didn't continue to work for a whole month!
And now it's a full 10 gold coins!
You have to think about how you want to spend the money!
Thinking about it, the corners of Run's mouth couldn't help but hook, and the blood in his body began to flow rapidly, making him faintly feel a little hot!
With 10 gold coins, should I change jobs?
After calming down a little bit, Rune thought of this!
It's not a good idea to do this all the time!
After walking some distance, and then over a small earthen wall, Rune came to a small dilapidated house and stood still, and then looked around for a moment to make sure that there was no one else, and then he took out the key and unlocked the door that was almost dead!
Walking into the small house and closing the door, he immediately crouched down in the corner, pulled out a blackened brick from the corner, and then reached out and felt inside, and took out a wooden box the size of a palm!
When he opened the box, there were a few copper coins lying quietly inside, and that was the last thing he was worth before he got the 10 gold coins!
I took out the copper coins, then put 10 gold coins in them, and then put the wooden box back in its place, and covered it up with bricks!
"Are you short of money?" Just as Rune was happily looking to buy something later, a flat voice sounded from behind him!
And he was completely unprepared, and he jumped up directly in shock!
After he reacted, he immediately turned around and looked at the person who was talking behind him!
I saw that he was wearing a not very clean black and gray robe, and an old leather satchel was hanging on his shoulder, giving people a weird and gloomy feeling!
Rune knows him, and he is the boss who just made him earn 10 gold coins!
Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to run away, but before he could take a step, he heard the sound of gold coins falling to the ground!
In an instant, his footsteps stopped, and his eyes stared at the gold coins that were still tumbling on the ground!
"As long as you answer my questions, these are all yours!" Bai stared at the young man in front of him, and said in a flat tone, while not forgetting to take out 10 gold coins again, let them cross the palm of his hand and fall to the ground!
"Please, please, what do you want to know?" Rune swallowed, his eyes reddened slightly, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
"Do you know about vampires?" Shiro asked.
Rune, who was still a little hot-blooded, shivered fiercely as if he had been splashed from head to foot by ice water after hearing the word "vampire", and the greed just now disappeared without a trace in an instant!
"Looks like you know something!" Seeing that Rune had such an abnormal reaction, Bai immediately understood, "So, can you tell me about it?" ā
"No, no! IāI don't know anything! However, unexpectedly, Rune shook his head again and again and denied Bai's words.
Seeing this, Bai Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued: "What are you afraid of? ā
Such an obvious lie can be detected by anyone, and the eyes are still rolling around, as if they are looking for a way to escape!
It's just that Bai doesn't understand, what is the young man in front of him afraid of?
"No, no! No! Rune shook his head and said, his heart was very anxious, he didn't want to have anything to do with that thing anymore, as long as he thought of that picture, he would not be able to eat for days in a row!
"Forget it, since you don't say it, then I'll do it myself!" Seeing that Rune still didn't mean to answer, Bai didn't bother to speak.
I saw him raise his right hand and shake it in front of Rune, and the next moment, Rune's eyes lost their look, became hollow and numb, and the whole person stood there dumbfounded, motionless!
This is because Bai used the [Hypnotism] skill on him and hypnotized him very successfully!
"Say it! What do you see? Bai said lightly!
"Corpses, a lot of corpses......" Rune said stunned.
"What kind of corpse?" Bai continued to ask, this is a crucial question, through which Bai will be able to determine the target's means of committing the crime.
"Shriveled corpse ......"
Shriveled corpses...... In other words, not only the blood, but also other bodily fluids disappeared along with it?
"Where did you see the body?" Bai asked.
"Sewer...... A sewer to the sea......"
Hearing this, Bai roughly understood the target's place of activity, what he saw on the information given by the guild was that there were 6 people missing, but many of the corpses that Rune said in his mouth should be more than 6!
This is also understandable, most of the records in the guild are some residents of the town with household registration, as well as mobile characters with a certain status, as for some civilians and homeless people from outside who have no status and status, they have not been recorded at all!
And the disappearance of some homeless people and unregistered people will not attract attention at all, which is why this situation occurs!
"What else did you see besides the corpse?" Shiro continued to ask.
"Leech...... A lot of leeches...... They stick to a person's body...... He's dead...... The man is dead......" Rune seemed to be in a nightmare, the expression on his face became hideous, and his hollow and numb eyes glistened with fear, "They found me...... I desperately ran away......"
Speaking of which, something was wrong with Rune's mood, and he seemed to have some signs that he was about to get out of hypnosis!
"Stop! Think about what you're going to do with all these coins? Seeing this, Shiro immediately began to induce him.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai's words came out, Rune's expression softened, and then he said slowly: "I want to take this money and leave Seagull Town, go to a small village to buy a house, and then take a wife with a big ass and live a life of idlers who don't work for the rest of my life!" ā
"Not bad! You are ideal! After hearing his dream, Bai Du felt a little speechless.
"So, how did you get out of those leeches?" After seeing that Rune's mood had stabilized, Bai You continued to steer the topic to the main topic.
"They...... It seems to be afraid of fire...... I was on my way to escape...... inadvertently knocked over the oil lamp hanging on the wall...... I heard screams...... They didn't chase after them...... "Rune said lightly.
This is a very useful piece of information, and Bai didn't expect to directly ask about the possible weaknesses of those things!
Then, after asking some other related questions, Shiro gave him a hint and turned to leave!
Of course, those gold coins were not taken back, so they were given to him!
