Chapter 249: The Missing Grandmother

"When Grandma disappeared, it was daylight three days ago."

"That morning, everything was very normal, I had my grandmother's breakfast, and I went to the forest with Mengqi to pick mushrooms, while the little carpenter followed us and cut wood around us."

"But when we came back, my grandmother suddenly disappeared, and there was only enough left in the house that she had made for us."

"At first, I thought my grandmother would go out for a walk or buy some necessities, so I waited for her at home, but when it was almost dark, my grandmother still didn't come back."

"After that, I went out with Meng Qi to look for her, but when I asked the rest of the town, whether it was a guard or a patrolman, they all said that they had not seen my grandmother."

Little Red Riding Hood said as she spoke, probably thinking of the scene at that time, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Looking at Little Red Riding Hood like this, Mengqi planned to help her tell what happened next, after all, it had also experienced that day firsthand.

"Since no one has seen her, I plan to use some strange objects to find Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, but whether I use the "divination coin" or the "pointer compass", I can't find any clue about my grandmother. ”

As he spoke, he took out the two strange objects and showed them to Barry.

Barry used a systematic identification and saw the properties of the two strange objects.

Divination coins are fine-grade oddities, while pointer compasses are rare quality artifacts, and the results of the system show that both of them are very powerful.

Divination coins can tell the correctness of divination events, and the pointer compass is even more powerful, as long as you tell it what you are looking for, and follow the pointer above, you will definitely be able to find that thing.

For Mengqi, the stupid son of the landlord's family, ordinary strange things can be picked up casually, and there is no need to be abducted and deceived like Barry.

Barry was really hot when he saw it, and if it wasn't for the wrong place, he wanted to fool Mengqi and let him lend these two things to himself.

When Mengqi recounted these things, Little Red Riding Hood also returned to normal, and then continued.

"After we searched again and again but to no avail, Mengqi planned to go to you to come and help, while the little carpenter and I continued to inquire here."

"Eventually I heard a beggar who said he saw my grandmother leave town and go to the Black Forest."

Then she said to Mengqi: "At that time, you said that you would go back, but you didn't come back after a day, and I thought you were also missing, so I planned to go to the Black Forest alone to find my grandmother." ”

"But it's very dangerous, so I bought a sword and planned to train before I go to the Black Forest."

Meng Qi hugged Little Red Riding Hood and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry to come back so late, I'm really sorry." ”

"But I don't know why, it would take so long to teleport so easily."

Huck and Barry looked at each other when they heard this, and they probably understood what the reason was.

It is likely that it is the mark left by Martin, but there will be no extraordinary things around the Ronalds, and the place where Monqi is located is Barry's home, which is why it will be delayed for so long.

Then the Ronalds went out on a trip, and the shield of the transcendent mark was gone, so Mengqi was able to come to Barry's house and successfully find Barry as a helper.

After listening to Little Red Riding Hood's story, and after watching Mengqi comfort her, Barry asked, "Where is the little carpenter you talked about, why didn't you see him here?" ”

Meng Qi also asked curiously: "That's right, the little carpenter is not usually inseparable from you, why don't you see him now." ”

"He trained with me two days ago and planned to accompany me to the Black Forest, but he had important things to do in the past two days, so he had to come back later," Little Red Riding Hood said. ”

Although Little Red Riding Hood knows everything, there are not many useful clues, but Barry is not worried, as a detective, only the clues he asks are the most reliable.

So Barry said, "Little Red Riding Hood, you know that your grandmother's disappearance is not an ordinary thing. ”

Little Red Riding Hood nodded: "I know, after all, even Mengqi's strange things can't find clues, and it's definitely not simple." ”

Since Little Red Riding Hood can agree with this point of view, then the rest of the story is better said.

"Strange things can't find clues, then there are only two reasons, either your grandmother herself has the ability to hide, or the person who made her disappear has the ability to shield strange things."

"If it's the former, it means that although your grandmother is missing, there is not much danger now, and if it's the latter, it means that there is something bigger hidden behind your grandmother's disappearance."

"You know, even Huck and Mongi don't have the ability to hide their position in the "pointer compass" right now. ”

Little Red Riding Hood didn't know what Barry meant, but she nodded, which sounded quite reasonable anyway.

Meng Qi didn't understand and asked, "What's the use of what you say!" No, I still can't find my grandmother's place. ”

Without waiting for Barry to explain, Toki, who had been staying quietly at the table, said, "Barry wants to use the elimination method, after all, you said before that this town is not big, and there will not be many people in it." ”

"So just use the method of elimination, pick out some key people, and then use the pointer compass to test and find the people who can't be located, so that we have very few targets to find."

"After all, only people who can't locate it can have something to do with the disappearance of Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother."

Meng Qi shouted when she heard this: "It's really a good way, why didn't I think of it!" ”

Todge's assist was brilliant and brought out Barry's wisdom directly.

Then Barry said: "Little Red Riding Hood, you have selected all the key people who have appeared in the town, and then let Mengqi experiment one by one. ”

Little Red Riding Hood began to think one by one: "Hypnotist, pharmacist, soothsayer, magician, missionary, executioner..."

These are the weirder people in the town, and they are completely different from the normal townspeople, so Little Red Riding Hood picks them all out.

Seeing that Meng Qi was about to use the divination compass, Barry hurriedly stopped him, and then Barry said to Little Red Riding Hood: "This is still a bit too much, after all, the pointer compass has a limit." ”

"Now who is the most powerful man in town, who is the richest man, who is the most peculiar man, who is the most feared person, let's experiment with them first."

Barry's thinking is very simple, people who are really capable can't escape these characteristics.

With Barry's conditions, Little Red Riding Hood quickly gave the result: "The most powerful are the priests, ordinary townspeople dare not oppose his words at all, the richest are the merchants of the castle, the most peculiar are the apothecaries, and the most feared are the witches." ”

Now that the target is there, Meng Qi uses the pointer compass to probe one by one, and among the four people, only the priest and the witch cannot get the location information.

"Now, we've got a little bit of a clue."
