"That grassy woman, probably ...... It's my ex, if I'm not mistaken. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The summary of the busy day has not yet begun, and the criticism meeting around Duan Qing has started first.

"Oh, it still sounds like a sad story."

"A sad story in one sentence, you must not have heard much of it...... right" Duan Qing smiled bitterly: "Anyway, because of some ...... For a well-known reason, I just broke up with her some time ago, and I didn't expect to meet her again in this kind of place......"

"Hmm, is this the origin of the so-called Plan C, I said why did you suddenly get excited this time......" said the smiling butcher pinching his chin.

"Could it be that they were the same ones I saw in the Shining Star Flower before? No wonder...... And so on and so forth! The little girl who was full of gossip first shouted and jumped out: "Uncle, you are not married yet?" ”

"Of course...... No, do you have to shout it out so loudly? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The little girl didn't answer, but just sat down to the side again, looking at Duan Qing with a smirk, and Xiao Hongchen on the other side looked like he suddenly realized: "I see!" It's really the hatred of taking his wife! Look at those two people so close, I can't bear it if it were me......"

"I can bear it." After taking a big sip of water, Duan Qing wiped his still dry mouth: "As a result, you were spelled out." ”

"Hey, don't mention my matter, after all, it's been said a long time ago......" Looking at the other party's apologetic eyes, Xiao Hongchen waved his hand again and again, and then said with a ruddy face like a cooked hero again: "It's you!" Do we want to go back to their trouble and breathe a sigh of relief for you? ”

"Don't don't, I have already made a lot of money in that battle just now, and before people came back to find us trouble, they had already burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and they might not be able to fight again......"

"What are you afraid of! You're still not a man! The women have run away with the others......"

"Hey, we broke up normally, we got together and dispersed, and it's just sad to meet again, what's there to resent, let's focus on ......"

"That's not right." The smiling uncle who was sitting on the side suddenly opened his eyes: "Since you can recognize her, why didn't she recognize you?" ”

"Well, she didn't change her appearance, of course I can recognize it. If someone can pinch their face and pinch someone who looks so much like her, then I will admit ......it."

"No, no, no, that's not the crux of the matter......" The smiling butcher looked at the other and didn't say what was next.

“...... Well, that's not who I really am. Knowing what the other party meant, Duan Qing had no choice but to admit his appearance problem: "It's not a big deal, there are thousands of people who want to make themselves handsome now......

"It's certainly not a big deal." The smiling butcher kept smiling: "I just want to know, what you really look like...... Or rather, your true identity. ”

"You are so powerful, and you don't dare to show your true identity, it shouldn't be because ...... Are you afraid that you will meet your ex-girlfriend like you do today......? ”

Duan Qing was silent.

"Okay okay, I'm just...... I'm just curious. Seeing that the other party really had no intention of explaining, the smiling butcher had no choice but to spread his hands: "When do you want to say it, when will we discuss it again...... For now, let's settle Nina's affairs first. ”

"That's right!" After this reminder, Mengzhu finally came to her senses, she looked in the direction of the small door behind the counter, and said with some concern: "So many things have happened suddenly, I don't know where to start the discussion......

When they returned to the previous place, Richard carried the frightened little girl into the lounge on the first floor of the Adventurers' Guild - the scruffy guy didn't usually clean up the place that was always occupied by himself, but now the situation was beyond everyone's control.

"It seems that the backers found by our boss are not very reliable, so the appearance of those city guards should be unexpected by him." Duan Qing also came back to his senses and naturally participated in the discussion: "Fortunately, we fished Nina out in the end, otherwise, this last line would have been broken." ”

"yes, if Nina falls into their hands too......"

"Hey, hey, comrades, what are you talking about?" Xiao Hongchen, who was full of question marks, interjected and asked, and the remaining three people looked at each other before realizing that there was another one here who didn't know the situation.

"You...... Forget it, just listen. ”

"Now the crux of the matter is...... We had to find a reason to get started. ”

"I think it's enough, those sub-city guards don't look like good people no matter how they look at it, after this night, maybe there's nothing left on the scene, and it's useless for us to go over at that time......"

"The man who looked like the captain had said that they were ordered by Mayor Rama....... Maybe we can go to Rama! The little girl suddenly said, "Right, Uncle Aoyama?" ”

She looked at the other with some peculiar look, and the latter understood what he meant, so she nodded to the other three and said, "We...... I still have some friendship with the mayor, maybe this is the way to go. ”

"It's not early, you wait here for us, and at the same time protect little Nina. Let's go to the town hall and look for what they call Master Rama. Standing up with Mengzhu, Duan Qing said to the other two, "If it goes well, this matter may be resolved immediately." ”

And then ...... Let's talk about her father again. ”

******************

"You don't know about her father, right?"

Walking into the dark night, Duan Qing and Mengzhu came to the second floor of the town hall - after practicing the staring skill with the fat guard captain for a long time again, the mayor of Fenghua Town finally agreed to meet the two of them at this time when they were about to rest.

The mayor's office is as palatial as the appearance of the town hall. Although the room is not large, it is full of all kinds of furniture and objects, white porcelain vases filled with the unique flowers and plants of Fenghua Town are arranged in the corner near the window, and some large and small framed calligraphy and paintings are hung irregularly on the other wall, reflecting the beautiful yellow light under the lit candlestick. There are also all kinds of exquisite decorations scattered on the wooden shelves by the door, which decorate this luxurious room and reflect the detachment of the owner's taste.

The rumor that Mayor Rama is said to be a nobleman probably knew about it when they met it before, and now, Duan Qing and the others have a deeper understanding of this concept.

Behind the long brown wooden table in the middle, the mayor of the town, who had been on the street, took off the glasses he was wearing on his eyes, wiped them casually with a white handkerchief, and then continued slowly: "As far as the city guards know from their investigations...... Yasqi's person seems to have some very serious criminal suspicions. ”

"That must be a misunderstanding, my lord." Duan Qing, who was well versed in a certain mode of communication, replied with Shi Shiran's expression: "We just came back from the Ankarat Mine and brought ...... News from Nina's father. ”

"Oh?" The neatly dressed old man had a very interested look on his face.

"I can be sure that he is a good father." Duan Qing thought for a moment, and then said, "But he's dead." ”

There was a night breeze that had never been blown in through the closed second-floor window, and the old man looked in that direction, as if he wanted to see the stars that were about to fill the night sky through the flying flotsam, which were still flying in the sky outside the window. After a long time, he sighed softly: "That's ......"

"Poor Robin." He whispered.

"Maybe there's something going on here...... Misunderstand. Duan Qing continued to lobby tentatively: "But we also understand the hardships of the city guards, they have also been busy with training recently, and many things have not been clarified......

"Oh, I know all about them." The old man scratched his head, then looked at the two people in front of him: "I also gave those orders." I believe in them, so ......"

"It was previously reported that Robin ...... Oh no, Yaschi? Albert is the leader of a bandit syndicate that has recently become rampant, and the evidence is ...... Plain as day. ”

"Well, I'm sorry, although their investigation may be true, but I don't think it has anything to do with the theft in his home, and it has nothing to do with little Nina......"

"Of course...... It does not matter. Rama blinked: "Did I say they have anything to do with each other?" ”

Duan Qing was speechless for a while.

"I don't know what happened to his house and what it relates to what I learned." Rama stroked his beard and seemed to sort out his thoughts at the same time: "But now there is a lot of evidence that Yaschi is a criminal who tried to destroy the peace of Windflower, two. ”

"It's a felony."

"So, whoever committed the theft, the city guards had to ...... Take control of that place. ”

Duan Qing and Mengzhu glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep worry in each other's eyes.

"And that's included...... Little Nina? After a while, the little girl asked cautiously.

"Hmm...... Of course. The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Although she is still young, it should have nothing to do with her at this time, but even if it is for her safety......"

"I don't think the city guards will be able to keep her safe." Duan Qing suddenly interjected: "And according to the general practice, Nina's safety ...... Or is it up to her person in charge to ensure responsibility, right? ”

"It's natural, but she's not in charge right now......," Rama's eyes closed.

"She's supposed to be an orphan now, we know." Duan Qing continued. But the little girl who had been with him for a long time could find that his tone had regained a little confidence: "But...... She didn't belong to any orphan care organizations, and she didn't have anyone to take her in, but she used to ...... She has been entrusted by the Adventurers' Guild and has been taking care of her for a long time. ”

A smile appeared on his face: "We, the Fool Adventure Band, have also accepted such a commission. ”

The old man's eyes opened a slit.

"And you're a witness."

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched.

"So I think, in such a situation, hand over little Nina to us, isn't it...... Makes sense, doesn't it? ”

"Yasqi's family, the official still has some understanding, so I think...... I'll take care of this matter......"

"Of course, it's up to you to deal with it, we have no opinion." Touching his chest with one hand, Duan Qing made a salute to the mayor behind the table: "My teammates and I will take care of little Nina in the Adventurers' Association, and at the same time, ...... Waiting for your fair results. ”

"And...... Hopefully soon. He blinked.

"Huh......" The old man put down the documents in his hand and leaned his hands back on the back of the chair. The somewhat cloudy eyes looked at the hanging candle on the ceiling for a while, and then said slowly: "Explain in advance, Yasqi's matter...... It's complicated. ”

"It may take a long time to figure this out. And most importantly......"

"The current situation in the principality, I think you also know, Yasqi's matter has also been rumored in the town before. Many townspeople have their own opinions on this matter. So...... Even if I thought Nina's father was innocent, they probably wouldn't think so. ”

Rama put the glasses he had put down back on the bridge of his nose, then raised his head and looked at the two adventurers in front of him: "So, I want to keep little Nina safe...... Your task is heavy. ”

Duan Qing looked at the old man who still maintained an aristocratic smile, and only nodded after a while.

"Also, since Nina is with you, then ......" The old man raised his glasses with his hand: "If there is anything to ask, I will send someone to find you, so...... In the near future, you'd better not ......"

He pulled out one from a stack of papers next to him: "Running around." ”

“...... We got it. ”

"Well, if nothing else...... Would you like to have a meal together, friends of Master Gustan? ”

"We won't disturb your work, Mayor Mare."

Duan Qing gestured to Mengzhu, who quickly nodded and saluted the old man: "We take our leave." ”

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the town hall that the little girl's voice rang out: "The mayor finally agreed, it's okay......"

"No, I think things ...... It's getting worse and worse. ”

Frowning tightly, Duan Qing took Mengzhu and walked towards the Adventurers Association.

"What's wrong? Isn't everything going well? ”

"Can't you even see that?" In the still cool night breeze, Duan Qing's voice became a little fluttering: "The hidden meaning of that Rama words...... It's this town where someone doesn't want to see little Nina as a person, and they ...... I want to be bad for her. ”

"Huh? Why? Nina is so small, she must be innocent......"

"We all know it, and Rama must know it too, so ......" Duan Qing's voice became low: "There should be something in this, we don't know yet, this is our town chief...... The reason why they don't want us to get involved in this matter. ”

In his heart...... Hopefully take Nina into your own hands. ”

"What!" Mengzhu was shocked: "Could it be that the old man ......?"

"Pedophilia? ....... Hmmm! ”

"What are you fooling about!" The sound of pain when the head was knocked heard in the night sky, the little girl covered her head and looked at the man who was still walking with tears in the corners of her eyes, the latter retracted her fingers and said without looking back: "Although I don't know how much the old man knows, but ...... He must have known more than we knew. ”

"What do you mean......

"Do you know anything about the hostility that the townsfolk are showing towards little Nina?"

"Uh, I don't know......"

"Of course people who didn't take little Nina out of the house, of course they won't know. Because...... That little girl hardly goes out, a person who will not appear in front of other people's eyes, how many people know about her, and how many people know the attitude of other people towards her? ”

"I'll feel guilty if you say that......" The little girl lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"But he knows."

"Huh?" The little girl didn't react for a while.

"I have reason to believe that our mayor has always been very concerned about that little girl who is almost isolated from the world, out of ...... Some unknown purpose. ”

"This can also explain why the city guard will appear so quickly in a single theft case...... They almost got ahead of us. ”

Looking at the scene ahead, the man with a deep voice suddenly stopped. The little girl who didn't notice accidentally bumped into Duan Qing's back, and stopped with her nose covered with an "ah".

"Just say it, don't brake suddenly...... Hey? What's going on......"

"Really...... What a dark day. ”

In the night, the two of them stood in front of the small two-story building of the Adventurers' Association, looking at the dozen or so figures gathered in front of the dilapidated old door.

Some of them seemed to notice what was going on, and shouted to their companions behind them, and a man sitting on the steps of the doorway staggered to his feet, then took three steps and two steps, and ran in front of them in an instant.

"Are you Mo Shangqingshan?" He asked, looking impatient.
